(OOC: Hi everyone, I'm making a last post so Bjorg doesn't just vanish into thin air [Nex asked me to]. Once again, good luck on the rest of the roleplay. I can't lie and say I'm not tempted to ask to rejoin, but it's for the best that I don't. Thank you guys again for a fun time.)
Bjorg had been quiet. She eyed the newcomers, but with a dull disinterest. She hadn't said a word throughout the entire drama of Oblivion appearing. Her mind was elsewhere.
Finally, Bjorg spoke, to Celestia. "When Bjorg was coming in to the Castle, a mail-pony came and delivered a letter to Bjorg from her homeland. Bjorg's griffins do not write letters often, and so I looked at it. My clan is at war." She fell silent again, glancing at Aurai. Damn it. Bjorg was just beginning to like Aurai very much, she reflected gloomily. She turned back to Celestia. "I cannot partake in this venture. I am needed at my home, and it seems you have others very capable here. One day Bjorg shall come back to Equestria and form a bond between the Great Blood-Storms and the ponies here!" Bjorg shouted the last bit, getting excited, then fell abruptly silent again.
She turned to Helvard, Aurai, Awilix, and Crash. Bjorg had begun to like them all a lot. Bonds in Equestria were different, not the respect, fighting-driven bonds of her homeland, but softer. Almost like the love between two griffins, but not that either. It was different.
"Good luck," Bjorg said calmly, refusing to get choked up. Those of the Blood-Storm did not feel bad. There is no point in regretting a decision. If Bjorg wants to come back one day, then Bjorg will! But Bjorg's family must come first.
She respectfully nodded her head to the newcomers. A silent way of telling them to take care of what would have become her friends. They looked almost as capable as Bjorg, she was sure they might be able to handle themselves.
Stretching her wings and without another word, she moved out the great doors, and, so that nobody could say anything that would make Bjorg choke up (as she knew she would), she crouched and flew out a window, away from the castle.
Until we meet again, friends of Bjorg.
