Dragons and Griffins

Book excerpt: Ogaron realm is about to suffer another ten thousand year battle, the great struggle between twin gods - Ogaron, the god of light, and Dragharam, the god of darkness, to determine who will rule the realm for the next ten thousand years. The off springs of Ogaron, Gryphons, people who can turn into griffins, oppose the off springs of Dragharam, the Draghars, people who can turn into dragons.Some months before the day of the battle, the youngest princess of Griffin Island, Theodora, is kidnapped by the Draghars and taken to Dragharon as a captive. There Theodora meets the dragon of wisdom fire, the king of Draghars, the strongest among dragons, who is dressed in black and wears black fur cloak, the royal attribute of Draghar kings. She is at first afraid of him, as the previous dragon of wisdom was responsible for her mother's death. But she finds out that this king is really extraordinary - too young for a monarch, too wise for a young man, too kind for a Draghar and strict enough for a fire dragon. This combination of such features gives a very strange mix, adding that, unlike other Draghars, this young king isn't totally hateful towards Gryphons or other races.While the princess is in captivity, her staunch friend and servant, the strongest among griffins, the Golden Griffin of virtuous light, Jeidin, and his main opponent, the second in strength, the griffin of treacherous darkness, Ominis, are sent by the Gryphon authorities to retrieve the princess together.
