As the griffin swooped down, Alina glanced up sharply. All she saw at first was a blur of motion in the sky, as well as something watching her from the ground, having crept up without her realizing. So she reacted on instinct.
Letting out a fierce battle cry, she dropped her lantern, which fluttered to the dangerously damp ground. Snatching up her spear, she flew straight up, though not far. Of course, as she brought her weapon into a guard position, she realized it was just a small griffin. The Fae were no strangers to companions, so she spun to face the white fox that had been spying on her. "Explain yourself." She pointed the tip of her spear at the creature.
