Until me.</strong></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>I just wanted to ease the suffering of Arimus a gryphon blinded in combat. He'd lost his first rider and his will to live. But when he forges a new psychic link with me to be his replacement rider it brands me as an affront to the gods for daring to ride an avatar of the God of Man.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>We're also at war and need every able-bodied fighter we can find so I'm sent to the highly competitive Gryphon Rider Academy to train with the nation's finest young men. Some love seeing a girl in uniform but most hate me for standing out. Few of the boys here want to see me succeed.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>The king makes it very clear. If I fail this year at the Academy he will mercilessly order Arimus's execution rather than suffer a female gryphon rider any longer.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1); background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1)>I have to be the best to even have a chance here.
