Ira went in and saw that Kurumi was already there and it seemed like she had placed her bet. So which hippogriff to bet on? Ira looked at all of them.. The five hippogriffs standing there were so beautiful! and looked majestic. They all were so different!

But the raven-like black beauty stood out from all others. Ira looked at its name and saw that it was named Talonfingers. So that would be the hippogriff she was betting on.

"Professor, can I place a bet of 2 tokens on Talonfingers?"
