The dilapidated concrete nearly shattered to pieces under the weight of a passing traveler. Long, curved claws pitch as the night sky scraped along the ground. These belonged to the pair of golden yellow taloned feet with pale yellow webbed skin connected to the three frontal digits.  They trembled the earth with each formidable step as if ready to make a grand entrance. Such was the way this being presented himself. With neck and back straight, an heir of pompousness seemed ever present. Lined mostly with plush,  tawny brown fur over a sleek and toned frame, this was no mere mortal man, but instead pure beast. A pair of feathered wings pitch as the night sky folded seamlessly along his back, the bottoms only mere inches from the ground and nearly resembling a cape. His tail was odd in that it started narrow and tan furred, only to transition into a wedge shaped fan of tail feathers. 

His head was much more avian, alert golden eagle eyes watching intently ahead of him. Covered in soft, white feathers, his cranium was inherently equipped with many features. His goldenrod beak was seemingly trapped in a light sneer, protractible fangs and teeth ready to sink into prey at any second. What likely stood out was the trio of fin shaped structures jutting from his plumaged noggin. One acted as a foot tall crest lining along the middle of his head with beige webbing draped across, the other two hanging from the sides of his face almost like ears. Also peculiar was the array of russet scales trailing down his chest to the bottom of his tail. The amalgamation of raptor and feline certainly led to the idea of him hailing from Griffins, though he was a more composite creature with added amphibious traits.

Tharraleos was this water loving Griffin’s name and was doing what he did best; wandering aimlessly with no real end goal set in mind. It was always the journey he enjoyed more rather than the destination. That would explain why he found such a seemingly ancient city for the first time during his travels. Though it kept things interesting, finding new discoveries even after two millennia. Though he mostly embarked on undersea, subterranean and airborne adventures, so it wasn't so impossible, but he was oddly taking a more grounded approach this day. And as usual, nothing notable but taking in the foreign surroundings while continuing forth in his own thoughts.
