TODAY we would be traveling by carriage to a meadow about an hour away from the capital city. Captain Ludtink took the reins while Amelia, Liselotte, and I boarded the carriage. Garr rode a horse to follow us from behind. Vice Captain Velrey, Zara, and Ulgus remained at the barracks. It was our first time going out with these particular members.

Today’s goal was to measure Amelia’s stamina. While she wasn’t fully grown yet, it was getting difficult to transport her in the carriage any longer. Her wings caught on the entrance again today, and we had to push her into the carriage by force. The inside of the passenger section was packed tight. I was told that Amelia would be full-grown within another month or two.

When I looked down at her, she was pecking at her wing with her beak.

“It’s okay, Amelia.”

“Kreh…”

She’d forgotten to fold her wings back when she entered the door and ended up breaking three feathers on the frame. She wasn’t injured, fortunately, but after pulling out the broken feathers, there was a bit of a bald patch. Amelia had been intensely focused on it ever since.

“They grow back fast. It’ll be back to normal in three or four days.”

“Kreh kreh…”

Amelia was still depressed. I understood how she felt. I would probably be depressed for a week too if a part of my head went bald.

“She really grew up in the blink of an eye,” Captain Ludtink commented from up front.

“Most mythical beasts don’t raise their young,” Liselotte explained.

“I-Is that right?” I said.

“Yep. That’s why they grow faster than any other animal.”

I learned that some mythical beasts looked after their young for a few days, while others abandoned their eggs as soon as they were laid. It varied from creature to creature. Indeed, Amelia had grown quite large. I estimated she was a bit over three feet tall now. She was big enough to barely fit inside a carriage.

“Mythical beasts are born knowing how to find and eat fruit,” Liselotte added.

“But Amelia didn’t even know how to peel it at first,” I pointed out.

“Were those fruits that don’t grow natively in griffins’ forests?”

“Oh, that would make sense.”

Mythical beasts were born with various pieces of knowledge that allowed them to live independently. Many of them died young when, like Amelia, they were attacked by monsters.

“We don’t have statistics on how many mythical beasts are out there, but eyewitness information says that their populations are plummeting each year, and more and more people are mistaking them for monsters and killing them,” Liselotte said sadly.

It was impossible to tell the difference between a monster and a mythical beast without the proper knowledge. The adventurers’ association slayed monsters, bringing their horns and fangs back for a reward. This started about twenty years ago. While monster populations had dropped significantly, mythical beasts were being wiped out even more than monsters.

“Mythical beasts don’t attack people, but they’re very wary of others, so they’ll bare their fangs to protect themselves if you approach them with a sword.
