Hippogryphs

You decide to do some more exploring. You try the forest next to the field. You walk in, and it is immediatly colder and darker from lack of sunlight. A little ways in, you spy something up in a tree. You see an eagle sitting in a tree. It flies down to you, and you notice that it has legs. It is a hippogryph. It flies around for a while, and then goes behind the tree and brings out two others. These don't have wings, so they walk up to you. One of them is a little different. She is jumping around and acting a little strange. Her coloring is beautiful, bright red, black and white. She has a strange little creature fluttering around her shoulder. Then the other one comes up to you. It also has a strange little creature fluttering around it's shoulder. You wonder what they are...
