Weeks past, and Felix had to continue taking care of the gryphon as well as all the other tasks Lord William assigned to Felix. Felix continued to stay as far away from the gryphon as possible and only entered the light to set the food down. Felix also noticed that the gryphon stayed in the corner the entire time every time Felix entered the cell to feed it. When it came time to clean up the feces, the gryphon was sedated so that Felix could go around the entire cell and clean up. However, Felix never wandered near enough for the gryphon to reach out and grab him. He was still very much frightened of the gryphon even when it was asleep.

The bowl was always in the light. Felix stared at the giant eyes that were always watching him carefully. Felix knelt beside the bowl and began to pour the water in the bowl. Felix looked down slightly to see when the bowl would be full
When Felix looked again, he no longer saw eyes. Felix looked upward and saw a large bird head right above him, looking downwards.
