492. Saēna The Simurgh Poem by Jaden Knight

Saēna is a fantastic Simurgh
the offspiring of a Griffin and a half Cynocephalus
she has the strength of both her parents
but shares none of their weaknesses

Her hair and fur are like a fine wheat harvest
her feathers are the colour of gold
her sapphire eyes behind her silver rimmed glasses
match the pendants hanging round her neck

She likes to read before bed
with her hind legs tucked underneath her body
her mighty tail twitches just like her ears
in time to an unknown tune

The cup gripped in her right talons contains lemon tea
which she likes to consume before she rests
the local dwarves make it for her
in exchange for daily protection

At midnight she will go to sleep
before rising again at dawn
another day of flying to be enjoyed
keeping watch over the kingdom
