K'tanya Demonstar

K’tanya sighed heavily as she looked at one of her traveling companions. "Why are we doing this again?"

Archimedes, now in his human form so as not to scare people, cocked his head slightly. "I think a better question is why are you making me do it with you."

"Because if he’s going to make me suffer, then you have to suffer too."

The griffin sighed. "You could have said no."

"Yes, but I’m trying to change, and Adam says this helps build character. What do you think?"

Archimedes snorted softly. "I think flying by plane is for the birds."

"Okay, this is just stupid."

Kismet looked up from the book he was studying. "What’s stupid?"

"I found something here that says all redheads are violent and have a temper. That’s not like me at all."

"Well, dad did tell me once that you got so mad at him you destroyed two villages with a volcano."

K’tanya turned away from her laptop and looked at her son, her eyes flashing a dangerous shade of red. "That’s different. He provoked me."

Wary of her sudden change in mood, Kismet slowly nodded. "Okay, I believe you."

Satisfied, K’tanya returned to her research.
