  The obsidian eyes turned and regarded them with a basilisk glare; then, seeing no threat in the three dumbfounded humans, it flexed its g…

  Entry for the Bubble Bestiary, letter Q. An archeological dig and what they discovered. I feel I have to put a little disclaimer here. Although I read up about Mesoamerican cultures and myths, it seems to be huge and fascinating field of study for which I had no time. So please don’t take my fictional ramblings as being anywhere near established fact or concensus. The same goes for geology. I read up about obsidian but am still no expert. And last of all, I have never been on a dig, I do not know proper procedure; this is based on movies, books and my imagination. Feedback and constructive critisism greatly valued!

SUBMISSIONS CLOSE: Last day of Aquarius / PRIZE for BEST BEAST: $50 Bubble voucher Of interest: / In Neil Gaiman’s Sandman comic book series (1988-1996), a griffin is one of three guardians of Morpheus’s palace in The Dreaming. * “Go to sleep now,” said the Little Man, scampering free. “Busy day ahead. Eating people and wreaking havoc.” / The Griffin laughed and yawned all at once, the sleeping draught muddling his thoughts. “Ya zzzzz now then,” he said wearily. The Little Man stroked the Griffin’s beak as it slumped on the table, eyelids drooping. “That’s it,” he said. “Snoozie woozie.” ... The Luck Child , Jim Henson’s Storyteller.
