The Gift

It is a thin gold chain. Hanging from the middle of the chain is a small pendant, no bigger than a thumbnail. The pendant is a Praetorian Griffin, proud and majestic. The crafted details are so fine they are diffifcult to see. Each feather of the wings have been covered by a layer of shaven sapphire, set in the eye itself is a tiny diamond, and the tongue is made of sculpted ruby.
