Everything is my own, Please be nice as far as criticism goes, however if you do have something about it that you don't like then don't flame, just tell me about it if you would.
This was written quite a few years ago now, but I just stumbled across it on my hard drive and I've began to patch it up, it's still not finished but I'm working on it.

Trayant Loi and Tomato had pressed on, up to Gogoln peak. The wind whipped wildly around his face and the rain hurt more with each spit fired into his stinging eyes but Trayant knew that he had to find Nadia and that had kept him going.
"You're lucky you are," he bellowed to Tomato above the roar of the wind, "you're a griffin, you're used to all this rain and the cold and stuff, it doesn't bother you." Where in truth then Tomato was having just as much difficulty as Trayant was.
The griffins had been a proud race once, full of powerful sky ruling creatures, the sort that could take down a bull or antelope with just a swipe of talon. But they had been gentle creatures with a love for nature, beautiful creatures that would roam the world minding their own business and looking out for one another, but the race of men had been scared of the griffins gentle might and had wiped them out until only Tomato and Baloo were left and even Trayant's parents had had trouble keeping the crowds away from the house. Trayant could remember it, he had only been little and Falla and Lee had not yet been born. His father had blocked the door way to the house of Loi and his mother had been upstairs trying to keep the two scared griffin cubs out of the crowd of peoples line of sight. Baloo couldn't even open his eyes yet and Tomato still had difficulty with flying.
Trayant could remember looking out of the kitchen window, one of the men in the crowd had been shouting something at his father. His father had refused to move and told the crowd that the two cubs were tame and wouldn't hurt a fly and that their had always been griffins residing in the house of Loi. His father had asked the crowd why they couldn't just leave them alone.
He had felt so proud of his father that day when he turned away that entire crowd of people, that had been the day when he had decided to become a griffin rider, like his parents were. But the griffins had had to be raised to be docile, this had taken away some of their natural instincts. Now they had lost their resistance against the wind and the cold, and often had to sit by the fire after a walk in the rain.
Trayant shivered under the damp, heavy folds of his coat. It had been plastered to his shoulders by the rain and the top of it was darker were the rain fell most of all. Tomato ruffled her soaking wet feathers and lay down on the large red rocks that stood in thick clumps that became denser as they neared the last of the land cracks. It was a large one and Tomato's wings were to heavily drenched to fly them across it.
"We can rest here for tonight you can fly us over the crack tomorrow." Trayant sighed, he looked over the land crack, Nadia would be so far away by tomorrow, but he was skilled with griffins and knew it would be unfair to make Tomato fly him over when she was so tired and wet.
"That crack will take us over into Tovasan, did you know that girl? That's where Nadia has gone I can feel her moving over that way." He nodded a little to the north-east of the crack. Trayant was good at geography and realised that to the north-east of the crack was Solfan. It would take him the best part of a week to get to Solfan and that was if he went the whole way on griffin back. He would have to rest well as to be prepared for tomorrows ride, so he lay down his head resting on Tomato's stomach and stroked her feathers gently as they fell asleep together in the pouring down of rain, waiting for day break to come.
