### Physical appearance

Gryf is a Jaguarian with red fur. Like all representatives of his species, he has yellow eyes with tawny pupils, claws and a long feline tail. he also has prominent fangs and pointed ears. His hair is long, messy, and orange. After the transplant of his Katseye, a black lock appears in the middle of his hair. He additionally has a scar running across his chest, left by Anathos after his resurrection. When he activates his Katseye, Gryf becomes much more massive, and gains the appearance of a true feline. His mane is adorned with black. Its eyes turn the most total red, its fangs lengthen (in the manner of Kelma-Thu) and darker fur appears on its forearms. Also, his Katseye can still be seen shining on his forehead.

Gryf's main outfit consists of white pants and sandals. He has a strip of green cloth around his waist, actually a piece of Samael's blanket that he took as a souvenir when he was little. He also has, like his comrades, a strip of purple cloth from Darkhell's cape, which he ties around his left arm.

After the two-year timeskip, Gryf's overall appearance has changed a lot. He now puts on a typical Jaguarian tunic, white with blue lines. His pants are white, as before, but he is now wearing blue boots. On his right arm, Gryf has a kind of yellow shoulder pad as well as a bracelet of the same color. He also wears a pale blue armband on his right wrist. Gryf also replaced the piece from Darkhell's cloak with one from Danaël's cloak.

### Personality

Gryf is a rather cheerful person in appearance, but he is very impulsive. He hardly ever thinks before acting, which often gets him into trouble. He is the kind of joker, like when he makes fun of the name of Artémus Del Conquisador, but deep down, he hides a heavy past that he hates to talk about (just like Razzia).

At first, he had trouble accepting the fact that Danaël proclaimed himself the leader of the Legendaries, even if he eventually recognized his role. Gryf is loyal to his best friend, and doesn't usually question his decisions.

Gryf is the bravest of the Legendaries and fearless of anything except Shimy's death. However, he is endowed with an impulsiveness that sometimes prevents him from thinking before acting and pushes him to commit senseless acts which, to everyone's surprise, will save the world (Volume 8). He is also the most joking character of the Legendaries but knows how to be serious when the situation requires it (especially since the Anathos cycle). Gryf is loyal to his friends and has a sense of sacrifice (Volume 2). He is very protective when it comes to Shimy, even too much for the elf's taste. Despite his "legendary" courage, he can be strangely cowardly when it comes to announcing a breakup. He also appears to be slightly evil, although this is unintentional. He has a manipulative side which is revealed in Volume 16. He loves Shimy more than anything, especially not wanting her to die before him. He goes so far as to free the god Eternity from his prison in order to save her when she is mortally wounded by Shun-Day, a few moments after having categorically refused to do so. According to the author, Gryf might purr from time to time...

### Abilities

Enhanced Senses: As a Jaguarian,

Gryf possesses highly developed senses of hearing and smell, being able to track someone down just by smell. For example, he detected that Elysio was still alive at the end of volume 4 just by smelling his scent.

Claws:

Gryf's claws are capable of cutting through rock, hence his nickname.

### Super-Katseye:

After recovering, Gryf got a magical Katseye transplant. When he activates it, his organism undergoes a super-mutation that transforms him into a gigantic adult Jaguarian possessing the strength of ten Beastmen. However, he can only activate his transformation after twenty-four hours. When he activates his Katseye, Gryf gains unparalleled strength, stamina, and speed.

### Childhood in Jaguarys

Wis-Kas, king of Jaguarys, the city of the Jaguarians, has two sons, Anoth-Cha and Kel-Cha, twins. Anoth is destined to inherit the throne, as he came out of their mother's womb first, and is thus considered to be the eldest. They are raised by the king's advisors, Kelma-Thu and Ko-Chonu, as well as Garfilda. Like all Jaguarians, a katseye was placed around their necks at birth.

When they were about ten years old, their father fell seriously ill. The doctor Aristocat tries everything, but nothing works: the king will succumb during the night. Anoth cannot bear this, and rebels against the Jaguarian policy which prevents them from seeking help from humans. When his brother refuses to support him, he throws him violently to the ground, then leaves the room crying. There, he decides to leave Jaguarys, leaving a letter addressed to Kel-Cha: in it, he announces his departure for the outside world, in search of help to save their father.

Anoth-Cha therefore finds himself in the mountains of Lovinah, alone. He comes across traffickers, who track him down. He finds himself cornered on the edge of a cliff, and is shot by one of the criminals, which breaks the katseye in the process, and makes the young prince fall lower. During his fall, he hits his head against a stone: the loss of his katseye and the ensuing concussion cause amnesia, and he no longer remembers anything. He forgets all his childhood, even his own brother.

### monslave life

When he wakes up, the young Jaguarian does not know who he is, and is in a prison cell, guarded by an old man named Folh-Klor. One day, a man, Menthos, comes by and buys the Jaguarian for gold, and takes it with him. He forces him to walk (while he has a mount), crossing the arid expanses. It is with bloody feet that the Jaguarian and Menthos arrive in the sad town of Eisleymos. There, the man covers him with a large coat, to prevent him from being seen. The city is a zone of crime, prostitution, theft and smuggling, a place governed by no law or authority of Alysia. Menthos locks him up in a cell in his home. In the evening, the Jaguarian, lost, begins to cry, but is taken back by his cellmate.

The next day, Menthos, the Jaguarian, and Samael (his sixteen-year-old cellmate, a human with a curse) meet outside of town. Menthos whips the Jaguarian until he bleeds, trying to reawaken his fighting spirit, but it's a waste of time. As he rests, Samael tries to talk to him, but hurts him by mistake: in pain, he cuts the rock with his claws. Samaël then finds a name for him: Gryfenfer. Menthos likes it, but the young Jaguarian seems reluctant. Samael explains the situation to him: he is now a Monslav, a "monster-slave", in the service of Master Menthos, so that one day he can fight other Monslavs in arenas. Samael is also a Monslav. He also tells her about grace points, and the order of the Night Hunters, who relentlessly hunt down fleeing Monslavs.

Gryfenfer's training is difficult, and Samael even offers to train him himself. As the months go by, the two boys forge a solid friendship. Gryfenfer notably attends his friend's fight against Galab'ru, a powerful demon. The long-awaited day arrives: the young Jaguarian will make his first fight, against Caroya, a huge crustacean, owned by Lady Ézilda. It's a fiasco, Gryfenfer almost being crushed by the dorsal legs of his opponent. Menthos, under Samael's pleas, sounds the abandonment of the fight, which is a real humiliation for him. The Jaguarian is unconscious, and has several cracked ribs. Menthos almost throws him into the pit (an underground cave where the corpses of the defeated Monslavs are piled up), but Samael wishes to redeem his friend's life by earning the grace points necessary for his release in his place: for that, he will confront Dasyatis, the most fearsome of the Monslavs.

Gryfenfer is destroyed upon Samael's death.

When Gryfenfer wakes up a few days later, he hears noises coming from the arena. He goes there, and there, discovers with horror the terrifying spectacle that has taken place there: Dasyatis has pierced Samael through the chest with one of her poisonous tentacles, and is about to finish him off. The Jaguarian, beside himself, manages to break the bars of his cage, enter the arena, and punch Dasyatis in the face (which is a miracle). Menthos intervenes, preventing his opponent's Monslav, Mongo the Great, from killing his Jaguarian. Samael, dead, is thrown into the pit. Later, Gryfenfer asks to see Menthos, and asks him only one thing: that he train him as hard as possible, so that one day he can fight against Dasyatis.

For several years, Gryfenfer chained victories, restoring the reputation of his master, making him one of the most famous monslaves.

### 4 years before the Jovénia Accident

One evening, after another victory, Gryfenfer hears someone sneaking near his cage. Although he cannot see her, she calls out to him, and tells him that Dasyatis has been dead for almost five years, killed by Darkhell, the terrible Dark Sorcerer who sows terror on the planet. She gives him the keys to her cage, and he runs away, going to see his master. He takes it out on him violently, because he lied to him for years, knowing full well that the revenge he was asking for could not take place. So he fled from Eisleymos, despite Menthos' threats to send the Night Hunters after him.

Gryfenfer, having repeatedly heard the legends about his people, heads for the mountains of Lovinah, where he hopes to reunite with his people. However, it is in vain, and for almost two years, he wanders in the snow without finding anything.

### 2 years before the Jovénia Accident

One day, he comes across a young woman, Esmeralda, pursued by a group of milk-sharks, predators of the snow. She thanks him, and can't believe she comes across a Jaguarian. At that moment, they come across Night Hunters… All dead. A shadow looms overhead, explaining that she wasn't going to be upstaged. Gryfenfer orders Esmeralda to flee, while the shadow attacks her, wounding her in the thigh, before revealing her true face: it is Samael. This one was still alive, and went mad from Dasyatis' venom. More formidable than before following his training with the Night Hunters, he is convinced that Gryfenfer is a demon who left him for dead in the pit, a fight then ensues. The two ex-monslavians are on an equal level, but Samaël ends up winning, knocking them both down in the middle of Jaguarian ruins There, Gryfenfer gets up, totally uncontrollable and will have no memory of what will happen in this place. He nearly killed Samael by shoving his own organic rock into his chest. He emerges from the ruins before collapsing in the snow. When he wakes up, he is surrounded by curious archaeologists, in a tent. He reacts violently, and leaves, before falling on Esmeralda, accompanied by two people: a knight, named Danaël, and a former princess of Orchidia, Jadina. They tell her that the rumors about Dasyatis' death are false, and that she only joined the ranks of the Dark Wizard. The latter still wishing to kill her, agrees to join Danaël and Jadina in their quest, thus integrating the group of heroes the Legendaries. Although initially a member of the group only to get revenge on Dasyatis, Gryfenfer develops strong bonds with Danaël and Jadina. In the months that follow, they meet Razzia de Rymar, a colossus, intelligent and cultured, who was once better known as Korbo the Red Shadow, servant of Darkhell and former lover of Ténébris. He left the services of the Dark Sorcerer following the death of his sister, now wishing to kill this evil being, and no one outside the Legendaries (and Tenebris and Darkhell) is aware of Razzia's past.

One day, they hear of an Elemental Elf, Shimy, being held captive in Casthell, Darkhell's lair. Thanks to Razzia, they penetrate the castle, and release Shimy. They must then fight against Ténébris, the daughter of the Dark Sorcerer, and also against Dasyatis, while Razzia takes care of Darkhell. The outcome of the fight is unknown, but it seems likely that Dasyatis perished. Shimy joins the Legendaries in turn.

One day, the heroes face Ténébris, and manage to capture her. They put her in a cage to deliver her to the authorities. Arrived at Oroban while the Cirkarar tournament is taking place, they are cheered by the crowd. Gryf greatly appreciates the cheers, showing off the townspeople. Accident Jovenia

One day, the Legendaries arrive in Casthell, aiming to do battle with Darkhell once and for all. After defeating Ténébris, they deal with Darkhell. The fight is terrible, and, unfortunately, the stone of Jovénia breaks during the fight. The spell pierces Darkhell (Legendaries will think he's dead), and its effects spread through Alysia and Astria, reducing adults to children. Rejected by their family (Except Gryf who don't know his and think his family had died long ago) because of this accident for which they are held responsible, the Legendaries separate.

### Before book 1

Following the Jovénia Accident, Gryfenfer goes into exile in a small human village, and takes the name of Gryf. Jadina, rejected by her parents (the rulers of Orchidia) for having become a Legendary, lives in a hovel, not far from the village. Gryf and Jadina keep in touch, though they rarely see each other.

### Book 1

Gryf is in full pomut race, and largely surpasses Nioki, the favorite. However, he is stopped in the middle of the way by a man, which disqualifies him. He realizes that he has been arrested by Danaël. Gryf is happy to find him, but only agrees to follow him when he tells him that he has found a cure for the Jovénia effect. Gryf, before leaving, steals the village cup, which he should have won according to him.

Then they go to Jadina's hovel, but nearly get killed when they arrive, due to a fireball expelled from the fireplace. Jadina leaves the house, and is happy to find Gryf and Danaël. However, she argues with the knight, as he wishes to reform the group, and returns home. In the days that follow, they go to Matasa, where they find Razzia, locked up in prison, for not having paid his catering bill. They manage to get him released, then go to sea on the Sea Dragon, the ship of Razzia's cousin. Along the way, they are attacked by a giant octopus, which ravages part of the ship. Gryf's claws are useless against the monster's shell, but Jadina arrives and defeats the monster with a jade bolt.

They then arrive on Astria thanks to Shimy's key, and find their former friend, despite differences with her father and his soldiers. Shimy leaves with the Legendaries, accompanied by Firelion, his felinaur. In the evening, Danaël explains his plan to them: he intends to reverse the effects of the Jovénia stone, with the Crescia stone, retained in the Klafooty region. Once there, they hear someone being attacked: Danaël saves a boy from a troll. The boy introduces himself: Elysio, with his pet raptor, Vertig. Gryf complains about his distrust of the boy, but Danaël doesn't listen. In the evening, Danaël cannot believe it: Élysio presents them with a map, "drawn by the elders", exactly the same as Danaël. Gryf adds that Élysio only wants the stone for himself, in order to regain the memory he would have lost with the Jovénia Accident. Shimy shares Gryf's concern.

The night passes, and the group advances in the mountains, under a powerful wind. Gryf almost falls, but is caught at the last moment by Élysio. However, he bangs his skull against the wall, and thinks he sees Elysio in demonic form knocking him into the void. When he wakes up, he is in the middle of a field of giant flowers. Jadina is at his side, he decides to join Élysio, to thank him for having saved him. He also apologizes for being suspicious of him, and promises him that he will do everything to help him regain his memory. They are interrupted by a giant bee, which Elysio disturbs, which provokes the ire of the whole swarm which sets out to pursue them. During their run, they fall on the others. They take refuge in a thicket of giant plants. Elysio goes into a trance, and sheds his blood before returning to his normal state. The plants come out of the ground, and turn out to be a kind of plant-man. They go after the Legendaries, but they are saved by Elysio who unwittingly activates his powers, causing half of the plants to explode. They attack him, but stop: they recognize in him their creator. Hearing this, the Legendaries have a bad feeling. Their doubts are confirmed when these plants tell Elysio that he is Darkhell, the Dark Wizard, himself.

### Book 2

The Legendaries are imprisoned by the plant-men (the Zar-Ikos), caught in the roots. When Elysio visits them, they accuse him of being Darkhell, which he denies, he can't be that monster. Once he leaves, Vertig arrives and spits water on Shimy, allowing him to merge and break free. It frees others. They come across a large room, where Elysio is in the middle of a ceremony, about to receive a memory potion from the Zar-Ikos. The Legendaries kidnap him by air, and flee the scene. They are chased, and arrive at the edge of a cliff. Thinking they are trapped, they are saved at the last moment by humanoid flying creatures who take them to their "nest", a tower containing old ruins.

Once there, Danaël recognizes these creatures as the Silver Falcons, and their leader is Ikaël, his older brother. In the evening, Gryf has a discussion with Elysio. The next day, the Falcons take the Legendaries and Elysio to Klashinga, the Keeper's castle, which has the stones with it (and is responsible for the Falcons' current appearance). Elysio is tied to a tree, the Falcons leave the scene. Gryf takes advantage of the inattention of the others to leave the vial to Elysio, and damages the bandages that hold him so that he can free himself if he wishes, in order to drink the vial if he wishes. The Legendaries then meet the Guardian. He tells them how Darkhell got the Stone of Jovenia. The Guardian then triggers the start of the trials.

### Book 3

Months after delivering the Klafooty Falcons, the Legendaries are in the Three Unicorns Tavern in Oroban, capital of Larbos. They are ridiculed by another group of heroes, the Fabulous. Both sets of heroes are summoned by King Larbosa for an all-important audience. They learn that Astria is plagued by a plague, decimating thousands of Elves: they must go there to help the Elven people. They arrive there, but in the middle of a battle between Blue Squad and the Piranhis. Shimy rushes to help his people, while the other Legendaries, including Gryf, remain on the boat, almost helpless. The Fabulous also help during the fight, the young Toopie, using her automaton Ding Dong, coming to the aid of Michi-Gan and Shaki, her comrades. The battle is won. Squad leader Shamira then explains the situation to the Legendaries: over a year ago, a toxic cloud began to escape from Piranhi Island. Since then, the Elves have been dying of a plague, and war has broken out. When Shamira shows up, Gryf has a crush on her.

The Legendaries and the Fabulous are taken to Karakis, capital of the elven kingdom, to meet King Kash-Kash. The heroes learn that the Elves do not need their help with the disease: a few months ago, a human mage arrived to provide them with a cure. Gryf attempts an approach with Shamira, but nothing concrete happens. On his way to their apartments, Gryf has a bad feeling while passing in front of the mage's room, and confides in Danaël: he believes him. In the evening, a ball is given, and the Legendaries are provided with outfits by Horiny, the king's dresser.

In the evening, they go to the ball, Gryf first invites Shimy to dance, but when he sees Shamira, he leaves her immediately to propose to her to dance. But during this dance, Gryf realizes that Shamira smells the same as Shimy, and immediately leaves her to find Shimy again, and asks her why she didn't tell them it was her mother. He asks her why her own mother seems to hate her so much, but Shimy replies that it's a family affair.

The king introduces the heroes to the mage who saved them: Elysio. The Legendaries are surprised, and understand at the same time that he has probably regained his memory. An attempted murder targeting the latter takes place, but the instigator is stopped by Razzia: he was a piranhi spy, equipped with a Sagys tooth to take on the appearance of Horiny. After a discussion with Elysio, Gryf convinces the latter to bring together the Legendaries and the Fabulous to explain the truth to them, since it is obvious that he drank the potion of memory. Once everyone has been reunited, Elysio explains to them that the enemy behind the current conflict between the Elves and the Piranhis is none other than... Himself.

### Book 4

The Legendaries don't understand the situation (except Gryf), and Elysio explains to them that he drank the Zar-Ikos potion, causing him to regain his memory. However, refusing to become Darkhell, he split in two: on one side there is him, Elysio, who is still the same but with the memories of Darkhell in addition, and Darkhell, as evil as before, and who manipulates the Piranhis to get something, which caused the current war. The Legendaries are surprised by these revelations, and after a small altercation with Shaki (whose people were massacred by Darkhell), they decide to speak about all this to the elven authorities. Elysio is therefore judged to be Darkhell, but Jadina manages to prove her innocence through astral travel, proving that there is indeed a Darkhell, separate from Elysio. They discover there at the same time, with horror, that this one plans to use Krea-Kaos.

Shortly after, a council of war takes place. They come to a plan: to use maginetics to equip the soldiers with wings. In the evening, Gryf keeps company with Elysio, who prepares the potion. He thanks him for not saying that he was the one who left him the vial of memory, thus being partly responsible for Darkhell's return. The next day, the attack on the island of the Piranhis is given. The whole army drinks the potion and finds themselves decked out in wings. The battle begins. Gryf fights against some Piranhi soldiers, and when he sees Elysio closing a powerful vortex, he rushes towards him, as a bolt of lightning (thrown by Darkhell) is heading towards him. They are both hit, and fall into the water, unconscious. However, they are saved by Toopie, equipped with her automaton Ding-Dong, who pulls them out of the water. At that point, the situation changed: the Piranhis turned against Darkhell, understanding that they had been manipulated. Elysio begins a spell, causing him to fuse again with Darkhell. Having seen its carrier being torn off without precautions, the Kréa-Kaos is about to explode. To prevent it from getting too big, Elysio created a force field around him, Darkhell and the Kréa-Kaos. The explosion takes place, killing the latter three, but saving the world. Gryf mourns the death of his friend.

A few days later, peace is proclaimed: the current war between the Elves and the Piranhis has come to an end, as well as the thousands of years of incessant warfare between the two peoples. The Piranhis have left their rocky island and live among the Elves. During Danaël's speech, Gryf senses a presence nearby, and thinks he sees Elysio's shadow, but he only finds a feather. A statue, in honor of Elysio, is inaugurated.

### Book 5

Months after their mission on Astria, the Legendaries come to the aid of the villagers of Pinkouli, to save them from a monster that terrorizes them, a boofankor. Gryf is hidden with Danaël, then appears when the animal arrives. Razzia knocks the monster out, and the Legendaries believe they have defeated it. So, Gryf presents the villagers with their bill. However, the boofankor wakes up again. Then comes Halan, the Prince of Sabledoray, who cuts off the animal's tail, killing it. Shimy, Gryf and Razzia are surprised to learn that he was Jadina's fiancé. He is there because he needs the Legendaries: Casthell is inhabited again.

So the heroes embark on Dorayllian ships, heading for Shiar. In the evening, in their cabin, Danaël and Gryf discuss the first meeting between the knight and Jadina. The Jaguarian teases his friend by saying that the latter is probably jealous of Prince Halan, being afraid that he will seduce Jadina. In response, he gets his tail bitten. The next day, Gryf attends a "macho contest": Danaël and Halan are having a flying race, and the Legendaries (except Jadina) think it's because the two men are interested in the princess. Jadina denies this, but faces opposition from Gryf and Shimy. In the evening, Halan and Danaël report on the encounter with a pirate ship they had, but Halan claims that they were lost fur traders.

Once they arrive in the Shiar Mountains, the Legendaries and Halan ride chokapyks to cross the region. One evening, they come across the camp of soldiers that Halan had left behind, but it is totally devastated, and they are attacked by Shadows of Chaos. Only Jadina and Danaël manage to get rid of it thanks to their magic weapons. Once the fight is over, Danaël takes it out on Halan for leaving his soldiers here, dooming them to become these Shadows. An argument takes place, and it is Jadina who assumes the role of leader. Shimy and Gryf empathize with Danaël.

Arrived near Casthel, they pass through an underground passage. Once they arrive at the castle, they fall into a trap: a group of pirates, led by Ceydeirom, capture them. Halan turns out to be a traitor, who had led them here. After a few exchanges of words, where the Legendaries understand that their enemies are there to recover their "love of the past" (Jadina for Halan and Sygiga for Ceydeirom), Danaël manages to free himself, himself and the others, thanks to his sword of however, just after the pirate activated the Temporhell, a time machine, by breaking Jadina's Eagle Staff.

A fight begins, but Ceydeirom has already returned to the past via the Temporhell. So, the Legendaries decide to go there too: however, during their "time travel", they are separated into two groups by a mysterious shadow. Shimy ends up with Danaël and Gryf, and it's impossible to steer each other as the Golden Sword takes them all over the place, even knocking them out of the time tunnel. They fall back into a jungle, unaware if they fell back at the same time as the other members of the group. They can't believe it when they come across an adult (they went back in time just before the moment when Jadina and Danaël met), who is none other than... Danaël.

### Book 6

Danaël, Gryf and Shimy are very surprised to have fallen in front of an adult Danaël, and are embarrassed when he gently mocks them, saying that they are only children and that they have nothing to do. do here. An alarm sounds: the three Legendaries head there, followed closely by the Falcon. They arrive during the attack on the Falcons' camp by the darkhellions, then arrive in Jadina's tent (from the past) but this one is immediately attacked by a darkhellion, and is locked in ice, then removed. The Legendaries immediately set off in pursuit, accompanying (against his will) the Danaël of the past. Clinging to the darkhellion, they arrive at a flying fortress, which they recognize as the future base of the Zar-Ikos. Hiding, they observe someone approaching Jadina's crystal... Ténébris (from the past). A fight starts, Gryf and Shimy leave the area to try to seize the ship by taking control of it. They arrive there (after several hundred kilometers of travel) and crash the ship on Casthell. This causes them to arrive in a room in the castle. Ténébris, injured by the fall, dies in her father's arms, and Gryf and Shimy see Jadina... Near Razzia's corpse, crying. Immediately, Darkhell attacks them by striking them down with his magic. Quickly, they are both killed by the Dark Wizard. However, Jadina manages to resolve the situation: Darkhell is imprisoned in ice by Halan, Ceydeirom is defeated, and she returns to her original time, where she destroys Temporhell, undoing everything that may have happened because of it- this. This brings the Legendaries back to life, who find themselves once again in the village of Pinkouli, completely unaware of the events of the last two volumes, these having been cancelled.

### Book 7

The Legendaries encountered an alchemist, Gondolf, who has developed a potion which he claims is capable of undoing Jovenia's effects. He asks them to take it to the mages of Larbos. During the trip, Gryf is attacked by El Diablo, a thief (who also takes the vial from him) and loses consciousness. Shimy wakes him up, and their adversary is quickly stopped... By the gods: Dawn and Dusk return from Alysia to destroy her. To save the world, the Legendaries must succeed in the challenge: find Sygma's horn (Wich is protected by the Jaguarians), in order to reverse the effects of Jovénia.

At night, the Legendaries camp. As Gryf drinks coffee, Shimy attempts to inquire about his condition but an annoyed Gryf leaves to relieve himself where he senses someone's presence. A girl was spying on them. He grabs it, and finds himself facing the Legendaries in an awkward situation, having his hand under the top of it (without knowing it). In response, she punches him in the face, then introduces herself: Shun-Day, a ninja student who wants to join the group. Danaël says that it's up to Gryf to decide, because he's the one she hit: Shun-Day asks his permission by giving him a huge smile and he accepts, which Shimy doesn't like.

During the trip, Shimy does not like Shun-Day and is distant towards her. Once they reach the Lovinah Mountains, the Legendaries are threatened by villagers because Gryf is a Jaguarian. He is also subject to a migraine when he sees the Jaguarian skull planted on the panel at the entrance to the village. Shun-Day goes after them, and they give in to their demands for supplies for the expedition into the mountains. Once in the mountains, Shun-Day wants to apologize for having done so, but Gryf replies that she did well, if it was him there would be nothing left of these villagers, which outrages Jadina. The Jaguarian lashes out at her, pointing out that the villagers hunt his people like animals. He gets knocked down by Danaël, before seeing Jadina's terrified expression. He ends up apologizing, and explains that since the village, he has a painful headache.

The Legendaries find Jaguarian ruins, and when Gryf touches them, he is struck down by a painful ill and falls to the ground, convulsing. At the same time, the Legendaries are attacked by Monslave traffickers, who are after Gryf (ironically the same ones who captured him when he was a child back then 12 years ago). These then begin to bombard the ruins, where our heroes have taken refuge. The gunshots fired by the assailants shake their refuge from floor to ceiling, and Shimy, who was kneeling by Gryf's bedside (still unconscious), nearly gets knocked out by a stone falling on his head. But Shun-Day, with a quick movement of his right arm, diverts the stone from its trajectory. Strangely, when Shimy asks her if everything is okay (if her arm isn't too bad), Shun-Day pushes her away aggressively, his member protected by the sleeve of his coat. A few minutes later, The Legendaries finally decide to go out to confront the monslave traffickers, but oddly enough, they've already been killed.

When Gryf wakes up, they are in a cave. Razzia tells him that he transported him but it was Shimy who watched over him. However, he has a fit again, and violently knocks Danaël to the ground, before fleeing outside, while a snowstorm rages. The Legendaries leave after him. After several minutes, Gryf is uncontrollable, and falls on his companions again. He attacks Shimy from behind, lacerating his back, knocks Razzia unconscious by sending him flying against a rock, and almost kills Shun-Day who notices that his eyes are red: she is saved by Jaguarians, who put Gryf to sleep using darts.

### Book 8

When Gryf wakes up, he is in an unknown location, a city, and many Jaguarians are present. He is decked out in a strange necklace. Not understanding the situation, he tries to run away, but is caught by guards before facing two Jaguarians, Ko-Chonu and Kelma-Thu who block his way and call him "Prince Anoth-Cha ". Suddenly, another Jaguarian, a carbon copy of himself, jumps on him, and they fight. The latter puts Gryf down and scolds him by also calling him "Anoth" but when Gryf asks him who he is and why he looks like him, the other Jaguarian understands that he does not remember him.

Also, he explains everything to him: he is his twin brother, Kel-Cha, king of Jaguarys, Gryf, by his birth name Anoth-Cha, has fled the city, and has visibly lost his memory. They then go to see the Legendaries, who are very surprised to see Gryf with a Jaguarian totally identical to him, in appearance. Explanations of their data, and in passing Gryf learns to have been the victim of a crisis of chakounia, an incurable disease which makes Jaguarians extremely aggressive in the presence of their fellows, which at the same time explains why he attacked his own friends . Also, the collar he has around his neck is a katseye, keeps a jaguar from having a fit. At her request, they go to see Shimy, who is still unconscious from her attack. There, he learns that she will get out of it, but he is very angry at himself and kisses her. after this, Kel-Cha introduces the Legendaries and Shun-Day to the city of Jaguarys, to thank them for bringing his brother back to them. When the subject of Sygma's horn comes up, Danaël asks for it, it's to save the world. Tensions arise, and Danaël prepares to execute Kel-Cha if they don't give them the horn, and tells the Legendary that he must choose between his people and his friends. At the same time, an explosion takes place at the level of the horn tower, everyone goes there, after having accepted a truce.

The attacker is tall and hooded, Danaël and Jadina recognize Skroa there, the Galina having pretended to be Elysio's pet. The news rejoices Gryf: thanks to the stone of Crescia, which is in his belly, they will no longer need the power of the horn. There, Skroa creates an army of golems, and a fight begins. Everyone (except Ko-Chonu) is doing well, but the situation is not resolved until a rain of rocks falls on the golems and Skroa. Shimy has woken up, and Gryf, after asking her how she was feeling, apologizes for attacking her but the elf replies that she was already told about the chakounia. But suddenly, Jadina, observing the body of their enemy more closely, realizes that Skroa has deliberately cut off an arm (because he is missing one). Everything becomes clear then: Shun-Day is a creature of Skroa from his own flesh, that is to say his right arm. That's why she refused to show it to Shimy. They then head towards the tower, where she went with Razzia. Once there, they warn Razzia. Shun-Day takes on his true form, and reveals his arm (which is also Skroa's, of course), while everyone is subdued by a paralysis spell, cast by Skroa, who was not dead. There he orders Shun-Day to kill Gryf (who had alredy been beaten up by her seconds ago). She tackles him to the ground, but he says it's all stupid, she can't betray them on Skroa's behalf. He tells her that she is a Legendary, that she is now part of the family. His words touch her a lot, and she ends up removing Gryf's katseye: he immediately goes into a crisis of chakounia, and jumps on Skroa, hitting him violently in the stomach: the power of the shock makes him spit out the stone of Crescia, and he resumes his childlike appearance.

This frees the others, who quickly hand Gryf his katseye. Shun-Day, despite protests, is allowed to leave, along with Skroa. At this moment, Dawn and Dusk appear, in a tornado of fire. They retrieve the Stone from Crescia and ask the Legendaries to use the horn. Gryf then punches Duskt in the face, knocking him to the ground, and explains to them that they have no right to tell their "children" how to run their world: they have abandoned Alysia, there by giving up any authority they might have on it. The two gods laugh, and leave the place: it was the proof of maturity that they had been waiting for from the beginning. Eventually, as the differences between Jaguarians and Legendaries are settled, Gryf adds that now he has two families.

### Book 9

The Legendaries are resting, at the level of a sunny pond. Shimy and Gryf are playing volleyball, and a new argument begins between the Elf and the princess much to Gryf's annoyance. As he tries to calm them down, as feather falls in front of him and, looking up, he notices a shadow hanging over them... Elysio!!! The Legendaries can't believe it, Elysio is not dead! Their joy is short-lived, because with him there is Darkhell. And they announce their mission: to kill the Legendaries. Elysio throws a ball of lightning at them, but at the last moment Razzia arrives, accompanied by Ténébris, who has obviously been freed from her prison. She sends the ball of energy back to her "fathers", and Danaël takes the opportunity to quickly teleport the group to Astria. Ténébris then explains the situation: Anathos, an evil god, wants to reincarnate on Alysia, using the body of one of the Legendaries. This is why Elysio and Darkhell, saved by the Guardian, attacked them, in order to prevent the reincarnation of the god.

In the evening, the Legendaries are back at the level of the pond, while their two assailants are no longer there. There, Danaël announces his plan: to find out who will serve as Anathos' reincarnation, they will steal the Alystory, the book "that says it all": the Legendaries do not like this plan, but accept. A few days later, they are in Oroban, capital of Larbos, to steal the book. They are in the middle of the crowd, as the Heroes day takes place. They bump into Toopie, from the Fabulous, however, when she asks if they're going to parade, the Legendaries slip away, embarrassed. Once in front of the entrance to the sewers, Gryf makes the two homeless people who are there leave by making them believe that they are invited to march. Following this, Razzia breaks down the entrance, after Danaël explains to them that it is impossible to use magic here due to the presence of antimag. Shortly after entering the sewers, Shimy takes Gryf aside and tells him that he will have to kill Tenebris: Razzia, because of his shared past too strong with her, is not rational about it, and she still participated in thousands of crimes, and, unlike Razzia, did not repent. Gryf is reluctant to the idea, but Shimy says she will take care of killing Tenebris herself, while he will have to stop the others from intervening. Passing in front of Ténébris, she tells him that prison has changed her. Gryf understands that she guessed her conversation with Shimy, and has to think about it, which does not fail to annoy Gryf because he is not used to it.

While exploring the sewers, the Legendaries come across a fluvior, an aggressive creature that knocks out Gryf. Ténébris manages to defeat the animal, and they soon come across the treasure room of the royal palace, where the Alystory is located. As the group explores the room, Shimy grabs a sword and prepares to kill Ténébris by surprise, but immediately, a net falls on her, which she cuts: they are attacked... by the Falcons d'Argent and the Fabulous. Razzia has no time to lose, and tries to open the chest containing the Alystory, but takes an arrow in the back. A fight begins after Toopie realizes that Razzia was Korbo the Red Shadow, the killer of his parents. The Alystory is passed around, and Gryf mistakenly passes it to Ikael, though the Legendaries manage to retrieve it afterwards. The ground begins to shake: Darkhell and Elysio, outside, raise the treasure room from the basement, destroying the castle in the process. They make an opening, and the Legendaries take advantage of the distraction offered by the Falcons and the Fabulous to quickly leave the scene on a hot air balloon passing by.

In the evening, they land, and Danaël is terrified: he doesn't dare read the contents of the book. Ténébris takes it back, because they are the Legendaries, they have already been through worse. Danaël opens the book, and at the end, there is an engraving representing the mark of Anathos. It is explained that Anathos will choose for reincarnation the one who will be endowed with the mark of Anathos. This mark is the one that Shimy wears on her forehead.

### Book 10

A few days later, the Legendaries took a ship to leave Larbos, a ship led by Captain Olbatar. during the days they face a storm, while Shimy is tied up in the hold, questioned by Danaël. Gryf and Jadina are uncomfortable with these measures. Shimy then explains how the mark of Anathos could end up on her forehead: she then tells how her Karysal happened. After the story, Danaël snapped at at her, as it was Shimy's lust for power that opened a door for Anathos. He climbs onto the bridge. At the time, Shimy had absolutely no idea about any of this, and she starts crying. Gryf cuts her bonds and reassures her by hugging her. Jadina notices that the ship no longer pitches despite the storm. Moments later, Shimy collapses, but is restrained by Gryf: her eyes are white and lightning bolts from her mark, as she screams in pain: Anathos is out there to be reincarnated. Then everything calms down. Gryf comes up on deck with Shimy, whose hair has turned... white, Gryf says that it's time to get rid of Anathos.

Once the storm has dissipated, Olbatar deposits the Legendaries near the island of Erghyr, lost in the middle of the ocean. They disembark with boats. Once they arrive on the island, Gryf wants to help Shimy, but she refuses. They arrive at some ruins, which enrages Shimy as these are dedicated to the gods. In the evening, the Legendaries rest near a campfire. Jadina and Danaël leave to explore the surroundings, Razzia and Ténébris are on their side, leaving only Shimy and Gryf together. Shimy is still cold, Gryf clings to her to warm her up. She asks him one thing: if Anathos reincarnates in her, he will have to flee to avoid dying. He refuses: if Shimy becomes Anathos' guest, then he will have no reason to live. Shimy, touched by his words, starts crying, and they kiss.

The next day, the Legendaries are gathered at the ruins, ready for battle. Danaël destroys the Alystory. Anathos arrives, and the plan is implemented: Gryf and Danaël remain to fight against the Conduit/Anathos, while Jadina must lead Razzia, Shimy and Ténébris to the cave of the day before. Gryf misses several times, with the enemy managing to dodge most of them. When he finally manages to attack her from behind, he has both thighs pierced, which handicaps him for the rest of the fight, which is short-lived: Danaël manages to decapitate the Carrier. At this moment, Jadina, Shimy, Razzia and Ténébris return to the battlefield: Danaël has the mark of Anathos on him, because of Shimy's elven key.

Anathos is immediately reincarnated as the knight, and stabs Jadina with his sword. The Legendaries immediately attack him, but it's a real butchery: Gryf has his chest cut open, Shimy has his eyes ripped out, and Razzia loses his right arm. Elysio and Darkhell arise to fight Anathos and open a portal for Larbos through which Tenebris passes the maimed Legendaries. They end up in the camp of the Silver Falcons, where the Fabulous are also, as well as the Blue Squad. The Legendaries are taken care of, while Anathos, who killed Darkhell and Elysio, prepares for an all-out war to destroy Alysia, with the Infernals at her side, demonic beings created from the blood of the Legendaries.

### Between Book 10 and 11

After receiving first aid, Gryf is transported to the Lovinah Mountains by the Silver Falcons, then picked up by Jaguarians to the city of Jaguarys. He wears on his left arm a fragment of Danaël's cape, recovered on the island of Erghyr by Ikaël.

There, he is examined by the doctors, who find that he has a fragment of metal lodged near the heart, which is slowly approaching it. Gryf understands that this shard comes from the sword of Anathos, when he slashed his chest. According to their estimates, he only has three to four years left before he dies. Gryf keeps this terrible secret to himself, the doctors obviously are the only ones about it.

While recovering in Jaguarys, Gryf lashes out at his brother for his policy of non-intervention in Alysia's war against Anathos, refusing at all costs to intervene. One day, Kel-Cha wants to introduce someone to Gryf: Sheibah, the priestess of Jaguarys, whose son, Razorcat, has an incurable form of chakounia. This leads him to Shun-Day and Skroa, in apparent freedom. Kelma-Thu explains to Gryf the course of their capture, then explains their release: the wizard Galina is in the process of creating a powerful katseye, with unique properties, capable of giving its wearer the strength of ten Jaguarians. Also, during the creation of the katseye, Gryf gets closer to Shun-Day, before getting engaged with him. This union accelerates the creation of the katseye, Skroa seeing this union positively. However, Gryf has no feelings except a strong friendship towards Shun-Day, and also does this because he does not wish to get closer to Shimy: according to him, if he had continued his story with her, she would have even more. suffered on the day he would die.

The katseye is finally ready, Gryf has it grafted onto his forehead. By activating it, he transforms into a super version of himself, much more physically powerful. He calls this form Deathgryf. However, this is not without effects on his body: he cannot transform more than once in twenty-four hours, under penalty of exhausting the vital resources of his body, and the transformation is limited in time. , lasting only a few minutes.

### Book 11

Two years after their heavy defeat against Anathos, the Legendaries met in Jadina's old hovel, the one in which she had taken refuge following the Jovénia Accident. Along the way, they pass through a village (the one Gryf lived in before the group's reformation) where they want to drink water from the well, but the villagers prevent them: if they do this, they will catch the plague of Anathos. Once in the hovel, Shimy, Gryf and Razzia (who made a mysterious pact with a demoness named Amy, thanks to which he was able to provide himself with a new arm) do not find Jadina. She arrives and puts the three Legendaries down, and when Shimy accuses her of not being Jadina (she claims that her aura is not human), Gryf contradicts her: it is indeed Jadina, he recognizes her scent. Razzia tells Jadina that Ténébris (now a Legendary) has been captured by the Infernals.

When the Legendaries arrive at Gold-Orac Canyon, Gryf and Shimy have a discussion: she wonders why he has been distant since their reunion. Gryf pretends to fear their future fight but Shimy is not fooled and shouts to him that she thought they had started a relationship on the island of Erghyr two years earlier. She then asks him if he blames her that it was his best friend who became the reincarnation of Anathos which Gryf immediately denies. Shimy, growing impatient, demands to know if he still loves her, as he is about to answer, Anathos' Castlewar arrives, and the Legendaries use Shimy's elemental powers to board. However, Jadina spotted Anathos who was actually waiting for them: he knocks them all off the platform, and sends the Infernals to take care of each of them.

Both Gryf and Shimy fall back into a forest. Having caught up with his friend by the legs, Gryf sees her panties and Shimy immediately yells at him to look away. Once on the ground, she probes the surroundings and pushes Gryf to the side to save him from being hit by an attack from Dark-Gryf who turns out to have the same scent as him, which allowed him to fall on them without warning. Gryf sends Shimy to find the others while he takes care of his Infernal and the elf leaves the scene, forbidding him to die because they haven't finished their discussion yet (Wich embarrases both Gryfs). The fight takes place, but Gryf is litteraly biting the dust facing the Infernal, and fails to inflict a single blow on him. He is surprised that this one is so fast when this one was created from his blood. There, he suddenly realizes one thing: the eyes of the Infernal are red… Because he is in the midst of a crisis of chakounia, a permanent and controllable crisis. Finally, Gryf, who had planned to keep his Deathgryf form for Anathos, decides to use it: during his transformation, he crushes his opponent's hand.

### Book 12

Deathgryf's form is a game-changer: overpowered, Gryf slaughters Dark-Gryf, who can only escape. When the transformation ends, the Infernal believes he has his chances again, but because of his permanent chakounia state, he does not realize his condition and injuries. Gryf knocks him down in an instant, and leaves the scene, without killing him. On his way to Anathos Tower, he crosses paths with Razzia and Amy, who have defeated Dark-Razzia. They make their way through the middle of the castle, and fall directly on Anathos, facing Jadina and Shimy (Tenebris being attached to a column further on). The god is enraged as he had only just expressed his doubts that they were able to defeat their duplicates; scared, Gryf walks away... but bumps into Shimy's leg and sees him again the panties angering the Elf who tramples him. Outside, at the same time, the armed forces of Alysia and Astria attack the Castlewar.

A fight then starts, Gryf hits Anathos from behind, then Shimy protects him from his flames by sending them back, while Razzia, with Amy, parries the sword blow intended for the Elf. Jadina comes up from behind the god and grabs him, about to unleash his full magical power in one fell swoop. The Legendaries understand that this will kill her too (they will be protected by Amy). When the explosion takes place, half of Anathos' castle is destroyed and the Vulturs fall. They find Jadina, dead, while Anathos has completely disappeared. However, when Shimy gives a speech honoring Jadina, a horrified Gryf sees Anathos emerging from the rubble of his castle. This one rises in the air, and is about to destroy the world with a single attack.

The Legendaries think this is the end. Jadina gets up, not being dead, even if it seems unrealistic. Gryf tells Shimy that it's over with her, because he's with someone else. As Anathos is about to destroy the world, a woman – adult! – arises, grabs the god by the arm, and in an instant, the energy sphere he was about to send disintegrates, while he resumes the appearance of Danaël. The grown woman then explains that even though Anathos is now impersonating Danaël, it's not him, and they have to kill him with his golden sword. Jadina then kills Anathos. The woman leaves. The Legendaries gather around Danaël's body, Gryf laying his hand on his chest, crying.

A ceremony takes place on the island of Erghyr, in honor of Danaël, Élysio and Darkhell, considered as symbolic heroes of Alysia, as the first victims of Anathos. At the end of the ceremony, the Legendaries, with tears in their eyes, say they are ready to perpetuate Danaël's dream: to put an end to the Jovénia effect.

### Before Book 13

Shortly after their victory, Gryf travels to Jaguarys to see Shun-Day there. That's when Shimy truly realizes he's with someone else.

### Book 13

The Legendaries are celebrating their victory over Anathos at an inn in Kastrala. Gryf and Razzia prepare to arm wrestle, while Shimy and Ténébris are drunk. Gryf tries to reason with the Elf but she replies that now that they are no longer together, he no longer has the right to tell her what to do and decides to impress her by kissing Ténébris. Just then, soldiers appear, demanding to see Jadina. She arrives, and Kalisto Vangelis, her former tutor, explains that her mother is dying. The Legendaries therefore go to Orchidia on the back of carapax, and on the way they are overtaken by a scorapax. Once in Orchidia, Gryf wants to attack the people riding the scorapax, but Jadina holds him back: they are Marakas, his cousin Kasino's bodyguards. They are overtrained, and Gryf is taking a big risk trying to fight them. In the evening, the queen had a one-on-one with Jadina and Ténébris, telling the latter that she is Jadina's half-sister, which surprises the Legendaries a lot. However, Jadina proposes to go to the Emeraudia mines, in order to recover there something to treat Queen Adeyrid, which would settle the question of the succession.

Once in the mines, Professor Vangelis sprinkles the Legendaries' eyes so they can see in the dark, saving them from having to carry lanterns for days. In the evening, while the Legendaries are sleeping in a miner's refuge, an explosion is heard, waking them, while Tenebris saves them the day by knocking a tower over the refuge, partially protecting it from the rockslides. . The Legendaries then understand that they are being followed. The next day, they explore the mines, and come across mutated roots. There, Jadina goes into a trance: green eyes, she speaks words, while carnivorous plants come out of the roots and attack the others. During their run, they realize that Jadina is not Jadina, exactly as Shimy had said shortly before their battle against Anathos. The green blood, his powers, they hadn't seen anything because they didn't want to see anything. They end up running into Kasino and his two Marakas, Baraka and Bakara, and a fight ensues. Gryf tries to attack one of the two sisters, but misses his shot. Shimy wants to use elemental magic, but it causes the area to crumble. As they fall, Razzia grabs Gryf and asks Amy to protect them. This impresses Gryf, who still wonders how Razzia got that demon arm. They see the two Marakas, dead in the fall. They stumble upon a scene of horror: the fake Jadina has pierced Count Kasino with her own hand and is reveling in his blood. When Gryf wants to grab her, he only manages to rip her cape a little. Then they hear a howl of fear. When they go there, they come across Shimy, on his knees, crying, who points to the top of a rocky peak, on which lies an impaled corpse.

Eventually, the Legendaries arrive at Emeraudia, and find the fake Jadina there. She thinks everything is normal, and Gryf punches her hard in the face, slicing her cheek with his claws. She is forced to retaliate, but Shimy arrives, then Ténébris, who violently attacks her. So, "Jadina" tries to release her powers, but is overpowered by Kalisto Vangelis who injects her with antimag. The Legendaries ask her who she is and why she is impersonating Jadina, to which she replies that she is Jadina. Gryf grabs her hair and challenges her to say it again, looking ahead: Razzia arrives, with Jadina's corpse in her arms

### Book 14

A week has passed since the return of the Mine Legendaries. Meanwhile, Queen Adeyrid has been poisoned and is hospitalized. They no longer see Ténébris, who refuses to speak to them, and the kingdom is in the midst of a political crisis. As King Kinder interrogates the "fake" Jadina, who is locked up, the Legendaries are surprised to see her ask how the queen is doing. The next day, the Legendaries want to go to the council, but they fail and go to see the new queen, who is none other than Ténébris, who makes them understand that the Legendaires are finished.

Razzia decides to investigate, and asks Gryf to question Professor Léton, who did the autopsy of Jadina's corpse. This one did not find anything abnormal about the corpse of the princess, on the other hand, what intrigued him is the corpse of Count Kasino: indeed, this one was killed with a blade, but the Legendaries saw the "false Jadina" kill him with her hands. In the evening, Shimy returns with his own evidence, and Razzia gives Tenebris' right bracelet to Gryf: there are stains on the blade and it is... week-old human blood. Razzia concludes that in the mines, it was Ténébris who killed Kasino, taking the form of the false Jadina... which Amy comes to confirm. But the demoness having clearly seen Tenebris, Gryf understands that Vangelis' real water is probably in on it, and that he could have used that to make them see things that are not. At the same time, they receive an invitation: they are invited to the execution of Jadina, the next day.

The next morning, thanks to a distraction, they manage to analyze the souls of Vangelis and Ténébris: these are demonic, Ténébris having something in her that gives off the same aura as the chest, the same for Vangelis, but tenth power. When evening comes, the Legendaries put a plan into action. For their part, Razzia and Shimy intend to free Ténébris from the demonic influence.

Gryf, on the other hand, follows "Jadina" into the arena, and once at the level of the guillotine, he gets rid of the guards: thus, even if it is not the real Jadina, they cannot let her die while she is innocent, and that in addition she saved the world of Anathos. Gryf transforms into Deathgryf and leaps hard against the ground to kick out any oncoming guards, before leaping towards Vangelis, who flips a button sending a jade blast at the Legendary. This knocks him out, and he resumes his usual appearance. Shimy and Razzia arrive (while getting rid of Vangelis), having freed Tenebris from his evil grip. The Elf wakes Gryf up telling him that she hasn't finished making him pay for his infidelity. Ténébris then makes revelations, explaining that Vangelis is dead, and is now parasitized by a being named Abyss, created by Darkhell, who also wants to dominate Alysia.

Immediately, Vangelis/Abyss returns, and no longer hides: he uses his dark magic to imprison Ténébris, before bringing down Razzia/Amy, Shimy and Gryf in a few moments. By surprise, the false Jadina manages to kiss him and inoculate him with antimag, which allows Ténébris to break free. As she is about to kill Abyss, Gamera's tree is uprooted and reveals her "heart", the conscious part of her being, and explains to "Jadina" that she is indeed the real Jadina, Gamera having transferred Jadina's soul into a new, more powerful body. Then, Gamera leaves Alysia, and the Legendaries leave Orchidia. (Without knowing that they are watched by a mysterious group of resurrected warriors; wich includes Danael)

### Book 15

Following the events of Orchidia, Gryf left for Jaguarys. There, he learns that one of the fragments of the divine key (Misery having granted Sygma's horn to the Jaguarians if they watched over this key fragment) was stolen by Sheibah, Razorcat and Skroa. Because of all these problems, he does not find the Legendaries until a week after the scheduled date, accompanied by Shun-Day, having taken on a Jaguarian appearance and calling himself "Akitten", and Kelma-Thu.

Upon arriving, they are chased by a theropod dinosaur, but it is defeated by Razzia and Amy after two failed attempts by Jadina and Shimy. After the introductions, the Legendaries are made aware of Sheibah and Razorcat, but not of Skroa's presence (since it's thanks to her connection to Shun-Day that they'll be able to track them down). In the evening, Gryf meets Kelma-Thu and Shun-Day on the deck of the ship, and confirms to them that the Legendaries do not suspect anything, despite Kelma-Thu's concern. A few days later, they arrive at a monastery, but all the occupants have been massacred. When Akitten activates her powers to detect Sheibah, Shimy wants to use her aura analyzer, but Gryf stops him by grabbing her arm, claiming that it would disrupt her tracker powers. Shimy asks him to let go of her, as he is hurting her. In the days that follow, they find themselves in a desert, and Gryf is interrogated by Amy, who asks him how he met Akitten. He walks away and goes to Shun-Day, explaining that Amy is asking questions (Gryf is unaware that Shun-Day knows who Amy is). Suddenly rocks almost crush them. Gryf immediately attacks Shimy whom he accuses of being responsible for having acted out of jealousy but this last reply that she has nothing to do with it. Indeed, these are tornadoes of sands which arrive. The Legendaries try to find shelter but Shimy and Akitten are missing. They find them fighting, Gryf grabs his fiancée to stop them from going any further, while Shimy reveals to the Legendaries that Akitten is actually Shun-Day. They rush at it, but a powerful attack nearly kills Shun-Day: Amy is enraged and uncontrollable. A tornado sweeps the Legendaries away, preventing things from getting any worse.

Some time later, Shun-Day and Gryf wake up, in the middle of the Tuperdu jungle. When they wake up, his fiancée is angry with him because according to her, the way he separated her from Shimy shows that it was the latter that he protected from her, and not the other way around which would mean that Gryf is still in love with the elf. At this moment, she gets slammed against a tree by rock: as Gryf run to go save his "fiancée" he quickly and hardly pin down to the grownd by Tenebris, and Shimy reveals herself too and they have a lot of questions to ask Gryf. Pinned to the ground by Darkhell's daughter, he quickly frees himself from her, she stars teasing him by saying that he was just lucky. Shimy tries to stop them from going too far but is immediately put to sleep by soporific arrows, followed closely by Ténébris. Ape-men, the Marmosets, arrived, and "saved Gryf and Akitten from those dastardly humans". They follow them to their village, leaving the two Legendaries unconscious, on the ground. There, Gryf finds Sheibah, and as he prepares to settle accounts with her, she hugs him, saying she is relieved to see that he is fine. Then, she whispers in his ear to play the game. In the evening, a party is given on the village square, Gryf and Shun-Day are invited there. As they encounter Sheiba, Razorcat, Skroa, King Kokakola and his daughter Nadcoko, a powerful explosion rings out above, and a cabin is destroyed. Gryf sees the unconscious Legendaries and Kelma-Thu fall into the water around the plaza, while Razzia lands in the plaza, with Amy totally out of control. She grabs Razzia's body, kills Skroa, and is about to kill Shun-Day, but Gryf gets in the way. He thought she was better, because she had become a Legendary. But faced with the stubbornness of the demon, the Jaguarian has no choice, and turns into Deathgryf.

### Book 16

As Gryf prepared to face Amy, the Legendaries (along with Sheibah, Razorcat, Kelma-Thu, and Shun-Day) are conjured up encased in energy crystals that drag them into the heavens. Gryf falls asleep (having resumed his usual appearance), and dreams of Anathos who is slashing his chest with his sword

When he wakes up, he is in an unknown place, and he notices with horror that his katseye has turned black. He comes across a servant, before fleeing from his room, and finds that he is in a very big city. He runs, understanding nothing of the situation, before falling on Shimy and Ténébris, in unusual outfits, and who do not recognize him. Shun-Day and Kelma-Thu arrive, in their normal state, as well as Razzia, also visibly unable to recognize his friends. At that moment, a small being arrives, Kirikiri, the master of the Chiridans, who explains the situation: his people need bodies to take control of them, and watch over Eternity, the son of Anathos, locked up in the city. The divine key, reconstituted, allows him to be freed. By the way, Gryf notices that Razzia no longer has Amy on his arm. Kirikiri then announces that now they have all the Key Fragments with them, and that it will be up to one of the Jaguarians to decide who will receive the Spirit of Eternity.

In the evening, Gryf chats with Shun-Day and Kelma-Thu, and asks his fiancé to look for traces of Jadina and Amy, who are totally absent from the city. During this time, Gryf walks around, and arrives at the edges of the city, against the wall which ensures its limits. When he puts his head through the opening, he sees only emptiness: they are in a flying city. At this time, Lheïra (the Chiridan who took control of Shimy) arrives, and offers him to become the reincarnation of Eternity: this would save him from the metal fragment near his heart. There, she explains to him that they know about it because they scanned her body with a crystal when she arrived. Also, Gryf tells Lheïra that in truth, he loves Shimy, and that he only got engaged to Shun-Day to speed up the creation of the katseye his father was making for him. Lheïra takes it very badly, playing with feelings is something that should not be done. The next day, Gryf is woken up by Shun-Day, who tells him that she hasn't found anything about Jadina and Amy. The Jaguarians and Kirikiri meet in front of the temple where Eternity is locked up, and once in front of the prison, reconstruct the key. Gryf seizes it: no one must free the evil god. So, Shun-Day speaks up: she heard everything about the conversation with Lheïra, and reincarnating in Eternity could save him. Faced with his refusal, she takes the lead and seizes a spear to pierce Shimy in the abdomen: there, Gryf no longer has a choice, he must free Eternity to save himself and Shimy.

Eternity is freed, and Gryf no longer has control over his own body. Shimy is healed, while Kirikiri takes control of the god through the spell placed on the katseye. Then Jadina, Razzia and Amy arrive, who imprison Kirikiri in a crystal, and evacuate the premises. The Princess of Orchidia, equipped with Tenebris' magical bracelets, attempts to absorb Eternity's soul outside of Gryf's body. For this, she speaks to him, deep within, so that he fights against the god. She tells him to do this for Shimy, the woman he loves. It works, Eternity is sucked inside the bracelets and Gryf is freed. They join the others, but the god manages to break free again, and grabs Sheibah and Razorcat at the same time, creating a foul being. This one seizes Shun-Day and devours her. Gryf, enraged, breaks free from his katseye's power-limiting spell and transforms into Deathgryf, but is quickly repelled by the god. This one devours the souls of all the Chiridans, before being defeated by Jadina.

The next day, the Legendaries clear the city, but Gryf doesn't have the heart for it, due to Shun-Day's death. Shimy arrives, furious, because of all of Gryf's lies. The latter tries to apologize but she doesn't want to hear him and kisses the Jaguarian several times.

### Book 17

The Legendaries are summoned to Oroban by King Larbosa. They wait in the royal library where Gryf is amused by the name of the writer Artémus Del Conquisador ("The idiot who loves himself; (It's a French Joke :) )") but when he tells Shimy about it, the latter takes it out on him because he does not doesn't want to see a doctor to find out whether or not his recent transformation into Eternity has cured him of the shard of metal lodged near his heart. Gryf then tries to reassure her by telling her that it doesn't matter if he dies today or in a century, he wants to live every day with her as if it were the last. In response, the Elf knocks him out, which results in them being reprimanded by Jadina. When the meeting takes place, King Larbosa tells them that the effects of Jovénia have turned into a terrible poison. He explains to them that an adult woman named Kalandre has recently been at the head of a growing movement, the Sons of Asterion, to whom she promises healing from the effects of Jovenia when she leads them to the secret portal. leading to the world of the gods. The Legendaries need to find this woman, and see if what she's offering is honest. They suspect that they will have to deal with the one who helped them against Anathos.

When they approach the place where Kalandre is giving her speech, their suspicions are confirmed, and Jadina is attacked by someone, before being saved by... Danaël. The Legendaries can't believe it, Danaël is alive. Despite the shock of this "reunion", they are taken to the palace of Kalandre (located on a large quadruped animal), and receive many explanations: its origins, the Dynaméis, the return of Danaël. The convoy then leaves Oroban, in the direction of this famous secret portal. Gryf and Danaël ride together, and reconnect by doing a Kot-Kot race. Moreover, Gryf also appreciates Asgaroth, the giant with an artificial body, whom he nicknames Smiley because of the diversity of facial expressions he can take with his face.

Arriving near the sea, the convoy is blocked. Kalandre then explains that Shimy and Jadina will be able to open a passage using their combined powers: Shimy's elemental magic will control the water, while Jadina's magic power will do so on a massive scale. And it works: the sea is split open, allowing the convoy to cross. Along the way, they come across ruins, which Danaël and Halcyon (an Elf who is part of the Dynaméis, like Danaël) explore. At the same time, a submarine bursts in, having been interrupted by the opening of the sea. An angry man comes out of it, this one was led by giant crustaceans, which land as he speaks of it. A fight takes place. At that moment, Kalandre loses consciousness and Gryf catches her before she hits the ground. He tries to protect her while the others and fight against the crustaceans. Eventually, the fight ends. The convoy has several deaths to report and lost livestock. Once on the opposite bank, the mysterious man introduces himself to the Legendaries as Artémus Del Conquisador, renowned writer, who wants to write their adventures at all costs. As he approaches Ténébris, he gets scared and returns to his submarine.

Three days later, a storm breaks out. The convoy must sink into the land, and end up in a plant cave. Immediately, they are all under the effects of a hypnotizing gas from a carnivorous plant. Only Amy, Jadina and Asgaroth are not hypnotized, due to their non-flesh bodies, as well as Artemus, thanks to the air filtration of his submarine. They manage, by accident, to defeat the plant, but Jadina has been seriously injured, and a powerful venom is found in her veins while she has not yet recovered from the crossing. In the evening, the convoy rests, in the open air. An argument takes place with Ténébris, who suspects Danaël of not being trustworthy, she criticizes the other Legendaries for not seeing that he has changed.

### Book 18

Later. at around 11 PM, Ténébris is found dead. While Razzia, Gryf, Shimy and about 50 other peoples mourn her death, Halcyon arrives with a designated culprit: Artémus del Conquisador, gagged and bound. Gryf smells the blood on the sword the Resurrected designates as the murder weapon, and confirms that it is indeed the blood of Tenebris. When Razzia asks the convoy to leave, Gryf protests because he doesn't want to abandon her, even less at a time like this. But at that moment, Shimy violently pushes Gryf to the ground and yells at him, explaining that they must at all costs be at the portal of the gods in time so that Kalandre can save him from his metal shard in the heart. When the convoy leaves, Gryf tells Shimy that he can't bear to have left Razzia behind, but she tells him that the Legendaries are over, and now it's all about life or life. dead. At this moment, lightning leaves the palace of Kalandre and surrounds the convoy like the bars of a cage. The next moment, the convoy is in Casthell. As the convoy panics from the poison in the air, Shimy analyzes it and finds that the air is clean. At this moment, Gryf saves Shimy from an attack intended for him, on the part of Asgaroth: Kalandre and the Dynaméis arrive, surrounded by four divine stones, carrying with them a Jadina, still unconscious. They learn that Kalander's goal is to destroy the world of the gods using a powerful weapon, capable of destroying a world, like Anathos did in his time. They also learn that it was Danaël who killed Ténébris and that Kalandre broke the stone of Jovénia. There, Kalandre retrieves the jade stone from Jadina's forehead, an ingredient needed to create her weapon. In doing so, she snatches her power source, thereby taking the life of the Princess of Orchidia. Gryf and Shimy are horrified, as Kalandre claims the metal fragment located near the Jaguarian's heart. He accepts, in exchange for which nothing will be done to Shimy. Kalandre then rips out the metal shard from Gryf's body who is now fallinng on the ground with blood all over his body (Just like Shimy). He regains consciousness moments later, as Kaminodoa, a huge creature living under Casthell has been awakened and begins attacking the convoy. He finishes off an Asgaroth already dying to face the Resurrecteds, while he orders Shimy to protect the convoy as it is the Legendaries' mission to help those in need. When Shimy asks him if they're going to make it out this time, he smiles back with tears in his eyes as he says, "C'mon on, don't say nonsense" which makes her cry even more realizing that their adventure as a member of the Lengendairies, one of the greatest heroes Alysia has ever seen as reached it's end. Shimy then leaves to help people in danger.

As he prepares to fight the Resurrecteds, Danael orders Halcyon and Galatea to go end Shimy's life as he will be taking care of Gryf. This one clap back at his former best friend saying that he has nothing to do with the Danael he knows and challenges him to come and try to kill him adding that he won't be as easy to kill as Tenebris.

Suddenly a thunderbolt appears, and Razzia/Amy, Artemus and Ikael come out. Gryf is Incredibly happy to see Razzia (who dosen't knows that Jadina is dead) and a fight ensues. Gryf confronts Galatea, while Razzia and Amy deal with Halycon, and Ikaël with Danaël. Gryf transforms into Deathgryf and resists Galatea's powerful tornadoes by digging his claws into the ground (Wich suprises the Resurrected). He reaches the female wizzard, and with a claw, slashing her chest, killing her. He resumes his usual appearance, and falls to his knees, critically injured with blood all over his body, before releasing his last breath and succombing like a true Legendary.

## Trivia

* Gryfenfer comes from "iron claw".

* Gryf's heart wound was inspired by Iron Man, a superhero from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

* Even in his Deathgryf form, the metal shard of Anathos' sword remains stuck near the Jaguarian's heart.

* It is present in all volumes of the main series and in Volume 3 Origins.

* Gryf's look is inspired by Willykat from the Cosmocats cartoon.

* Anoth-Cha is probably a pun on Another Cat! or To our cat! (Another French Joke; Sorry :) ).

* There are two versions of the encounter between Gryfenfer and Menthos:

* The first, told in flashback in volume 7 of the main series, shows that Menthos was not aware of the presence of Gryfenfer among the monslavs of Folh-Klor when he went there. Also, the two men chat together for a while before facing the little Jaguarian, who is locked in his cell. The second version, presented in volume 3 of Origins, shows that Menthos was perfectly aware of the presence of the Jaguarian within the residence of Folh-Klor and came precisely for him. Moreover, when he arrives, Gryfenfer is taking a bath, and he surprises Folh-Klor (so no discussion with the old man beforehand).

* In the guestbook of November 25, 2020, Patrick Sobral explains that in the Dutch translations of the volumes of the Legendaries, the first name of Gryf was translated into a word which means "gravel".

* In the July 28, 2021 guestbook, Patrick Sobral says that when all the Legendaries died, the one that hurt him the most was Gryf's, because he didn't think he'd kill him one day.

* Patrick Sobral had considered that Gryf would not survive Anathos' attack. Gryf, injured, was to be taken to Jaguarys for treatment but did not survive his injuries. His brother Kel-Cha, out of a desire for revenge, would have taken his place with the Legendaries by hiding his true identity from them. He gave it up, the story duplicating that of Jadina.
