This view never got old.

Equinox sighed as he watched the last glimmers of sunlight fall below the horizon, the sky still painted in fading hues of pink and orange.

There was no better place to watch the sunset than right here at the Grand Canyon, in the part of the world that Equinox called home. The beautiful rocks, the gorgeous sky, the cool evening breeze on your face… the gryphon loved it here.

Speaking of that cool breeze, it was more than enough signal that it was time to find somewhere warmer to sleep for the night. It was still early in the year, when nights came early, and nights in the desert could get quite cold.

The moon was beginning to rise as Equinox spread his wings, flying low over the Colorado River as it carved out its path through the Arizona desert. A group of coyotes had found the gryphon’s previous hideaway, and while he was sure he could’ve easily handled them if it came to a fight, he saw no reason to engage when there were plenty of other suitable locations to nest in the area. Live and let live.

For whatever reason, the moonlight seemed brighter tonight, and as it rose higher in the sky, it felt to Equinox as if the moonbeams were literally radiating into his body, producing a wonderful sense of energy.

Suddenly, Equinox felt his body begin to rapidly grow, not stopping it until it filled nearly the entire width of the canyon. He stumbled and fell in surprise, having connected with the ground more abruptly than he’d expected.

Equinox looked around in a panic. As wonderful as it felt to be a giant, he’d certainly struggle to find somewhere to roost now, and it was already starting to get chilly.

“Do not worry,” a low voice behind him said. Equinox started to turn around to look, but felt a pressure on his back that pinned him to the ground. He could turn his head around, at least, and found himself looking face to face with another gryphon, of similar size, this one with red and orange coloring and a head like a bearded vulture — although, judging from the warmth that had begun flowing through him, this gryphon was also unmistakably part phoenix.

“Wha— who—” Equinox mind raced with a million questions, but the phoenix gryphon pressed a talon to his beak. “Shhhhh. Do not worry,” they repeated.

“Every year, around this time, such events happen,” the phoenix explained. “Creatures such as ourselves grow to incredible size. And then, a few weeks later, everything returns back to normal as if nothing had happened.”

“But who are you?” Equinox asked. “And why don’t I remember this ever happening before?”

“I am Takora,” the phoenix said. “I am a phoenix gryphon, which means I have lived many lifetimes already. Like you, I have no memory of these events after they are finished. Nor do I have memories of my past lives. But over the years, I have written down my experiences so I can always know my own history.”

“So this change isn’t permanent?” Equinox asked.

“Precisely,” Takora said. “You’ll return to normal in the near future, and nothing that you’ve done in the meantime will have permanently affected this world. Which means…” Takora’s voice became more seductive. “…there are no consequences for our actions.”

Equinox gasped as felt something long and thick press against his back. And then another one! Two of them! The gryphon blushed as he realized this stranger’s intentions.

Takora began to rub their long, prehensile members against Equinox’s back as they slowly rose to full-mast. “A lovely gryphon like you deserves a night of pleasure unlike any you’ve had before,” they breathed into Equinox’s ear.

The gryphon’s blush intensified, and he let out a small whine. But he raised his hindquarters up and lifted his tail to make clear to Takora that he was ready and willing for whatever they had in mind.

“That’s a good gryph,” Takora said as a smile curled across their beak. “Just leave it to me.”

Equinox could feel his own throbbing cock spill out of his slit as the phoenix began to rub his slick twin cocks against his asshole, moistening his entrance. The tapering nature of Takora’s shafts made them easy to slide in once the time came, and Equinox’s eyes widened as he felt one of them burrow deeper and deeper into him, soon stretching his opening wider than he thought possible.

But Takora wasn’t done with the surprises. Equinox gasped as he felt the phoenix’s other hot, fleshy member curl around his own dick, beginning to stroke and frot the gryphon while the other remained deep inside him.

Takora began to hump, letting their wilder instincts take over as they shamelessly plowed the enormous gryphon. The pair made quite the spectacle: two gryphons, each hundreds of feet tall, fucking in plain view of anyone who happened to be visiting the Grand Canyon that night. Their moans boomed and echoed across the canyon, bouncing off the walls of rock in every direction.

Neither cared who saw or heard. They were both completely caught up in their own lust — and besides, there would be no consequences. So, when Equinox felt Takora’s shafts begin to pulse and throb, signaling their imminent eruption, he simply moaned louder and embraced it, feeling simultaneously more powerful and more dominated than he’d ever been in his life.

Thick ropes of cum, wider than the Colorado River below, launched out of the gryphon’s dick with enough force to crack the millennia-old rock walls of the canyon around them. Takora’s own twin shafts shuddered and released their own seed in two equally powerful streams: one pounding Equinox’s insides, the other painting his belly white with phoenix cum.

Their orgasms each lasted more than a minute, until they finally collapsed on top of each other, completely spent. Takora looked into Equinox’s eyes, and no words needed to be said. Once they’d regained their energy, there was little doubt what they’d spend the rest of the night doing.
