Nodding, Blake had the 30 foot long serpent enter his shadow space, and, after cutting the scales and bone from the body of the dead snake, blake stored these materials in his shadow space, where he'd give them to the blacksmith to use to make his gear.
Blake then had Cimon kill the last adult griffon in its sleep, before using shadow space on the adolescent and young griffon and the egg they were guarding. He had plans for those three.
Then he and Cimon roasted the griffon and serpent meat. They took their fair share, and Blake left the leftovers stored in their soul space and shadow space respectively.
