Khalil and Sheba, two characters from "Desert Wings" a short story I had in my head for quite a while XD

This is also a little Thank-you piece for all the support, the birthday greetings, kind comments, faves, etc. etc. I've got over the last weeks, you people rock

Sheba is a gryphon type that could also easily appear in the "Blutfeder" series, as she is slender and rather tall, I even have a character mentioned there that looks a bit similar hmm...
So what's that story about? I mainly imagined a kind of 'scenery' a desert culture, where people, mainly warriors ride on gryphons to cover the huge distances and attack from a 'unknown perspective' etc. etc. it's not a real story, not even something similar yet, just an idea that came up in my head and is getting slowly a shape XD

FULLVIEW is a good idea as well, BUT IT'S HUGE...
