Summary
Rosinante knew, as vaguely as any child in Mariejois knew, that Celestial Dragons were supposed to be different from humans - better, gods. It was something they had been taught from the cradle, something that was repeated to them by stuffy tutors and even stuffier relatives. Slaves were nothing because they were humans, tainted, wretched beings good only to do their bidding. They were better. More. Evolved. And the reason for that was in their blood, in the secret lying in their bones.
Sometimes Rosinante fantasized he could feel it, something clawing under his skin, roaring in his bones, screeching in the marrow of his being. Something wild. Something untamed.
The animal form all Celestial Dragons had.

Rosinante does not die in the snow of Minion Island. Instead, the danger his kid is in triggers something - something that should not have happened - a change that he had never in a million years imagined he'd go through. A griffin stands in his place, a being of protection, of nurture. The only problem? No Celestial Dragon had ever turned into a mythical being before.
