Horus

Horus's first breath was drawn in the shadow of his mother's final moments, his emergence into the world marked by the very blade that ended her life—wielded by Valøn Quikfyre, an elven rogue paladin consumed by desperate purpose. The great griffin had been guarding the roots of Yggdrasil he and his companion, Phoebe needed to barter for a favor after Valøn's newfound companion, Naton had been dragged through a portal to the Underworld. And in the chaos of their violent confrontation, the magnificent beast fell, her unhatched egg tumbling from the nest as she collapsed. When Valøn realized the life he'd stolen was merely protective—a mother defending her unborn child—the weight of his actions crystallized into something deeper than remorse; it became sacred obligation. He cradled the warm egg through that dark night, and when Horus's eyes first opened to the world, they beheld not an enemy but the only being who could understand the cost of his existence. Valøn vowed an unbreakable oath: he would be father, guardian, and eternal penitent to this creature born from tragedy, transforming an act of violence into a bond forged in grief and redemption. Now Gryphon and rogue are inseparable, each carrying the scar of that fateful day—one bearing the memory of a mother never known, the other bearing the memory of a mother he destroyed.
