The griffin, griffon, or gryphon (Greek: γρύφων, grýphōn, or γρύπων, grýpōn, early form γρύψ, grýps; Latin: gryphus) is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and an eagle's talons as its front feet. Because the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle the king of birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. The griffin was also thought of as king of all creatures. Griffins are known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions.Adrienne Mayor, a classical folklorist, proposes that the griffin was an ancient misconception derived from the fossilized remains of the Protoceratops found in gold mines in the Altai mountains of Scythia, in present-day southeastern Kazakhstan, or in Mongolia. In antiquity it was a symbol of divine power and a guardian of the divine.
The derivation of this word remains uncertain. It could be related to the Greek word γρυπός (grypos), meaning 'curved', or 'hooked'. Also, this could have been an Anatolian loan word, compare Akkadian karūbu (winged creature), and similar to Cherub. A related Hebrew word is כרוב (kerúv).

Plot: Unsearchable is a moving story about the bond between two brothers whose struggle for survival in a post-apocalyptic world comes to define them and their coming-of-age journey. Luke and Jack Abel trek across a derelict America with almost nothing but the clothes on their back, scraping and scavenging for food and supplies, bound for the West. Coping with their dire situation, their family's tragic past, and the vile hordes of cannibals that roam the ruins proves to be a greater trial than they anticipated. Their faith is tested; their mettle pr oven. Forced to put their trust in a far greater power, the brothers push forward, documenting their ordeal on a half-broken tape recorder and keeping their eyes peeled toward the setting sun.

Plot: A man finds himself in the middle of a police investigation that revolves around the disturbing massacre of a family. But, when a survivor is found, questions arise and the investigation is completely turned upside down.

This is a suspenseful crime drama, injected with a dose of action. Trust and friendships are tested and business associations are broken as the story skilfully develops into a nail-biting conclusion.

Crusaders set forth from the castle
So graciously march to the sea
Prepared for a blood thirsty battle
The warships set sail dreams of victory
New fighting from the inside, cruel love for vengeance will prevail
By night fall the castle's surrounded
The roadhouse and moat are ablaze
The order is given, advance to the wall
Pursue till the victory is gained
New fighting from the inside, cruel love for vengeance will prevail
Never abandon their conquest in life, courageously sworn to their faith
Heavy metal attack, fighting hand to hand on the field of glory
Heavy metal attack, to the death they will fight and endure the pain
Heavy metal attack, hear the sound of the steel clash with passion and fury
Heavy metal attack, those who live by the sword also die by the blade
By daybreak the castle has fallen
The smouldering ruin remains
Cries of the wounded are heard across the land
They cry for their God to be saved
New fighting from the inside, cruel love for vengeance will prevail
Never abandon their conquest in life, courageously sworn to their faith
Heavy metal attack, fighting hand to hand on the field of glory
Heavy metal attack, to the death they will fight and endure the pain
Heavy metal attack, hear the sound of the steel clash with passion and fury
Heavy metal attack, those who live by the sword also die by the blade
Heavy metal attack, lingers on greets the dawn with the slaughter of thousands
Heavy metal attack, to their God and the king was their life what they gave
