Nathaniel's Companion

It was only a matter of time that he became the one.

And from the cave walked out a mystical being. He was rather short, tiny compared to others, no bigger than a stepping stone. It was extremely alarming and unusual for a taming beast destined to the hero's one and only companion to be so...small. Throughout history there have been beasts such as dragons, mighty steeds, and even ferocious looking canines, but this time it came in the form of tiny wingless gargoyle. He crawled out from the large opening of the cave showing only his rigid face to the light. His glowing eyes pierced the light of day as if an ocean of a vaster depth than life itself was waning in them. His voice was a hoarse whisper on the wind.

"Grug, not is smart like others.
Grug know Grug not have others by his side. Grug, not big. Grug, not pretty, but Grug alive
and Grug....will....fight."

Nathaniel hadn't known it yet, but Grug would become his greatest ally.
