"How am I going to get two other sphinxes here?" he asks "You and me and the only sphinxes I have seen"
"Well it is quite simple. Find a lion and have cubs. Some of them should be sphinxes at least " the sphinx says. "And you will need yourself and three others. You need to be the great grandparent of them."
"I can't be the mother of them. I am male. " he says pointing at his body.
"In mind for now yes. But that is why you are here, I will help you adjust." she says picking him up and moving to the edge of the cliff.
He tried to struggle but the sphinx was too strong.
"Now when you fly back up here you will be able to leave for today" she says dropping him over the edge.
"How?" he calls as he falls.
"You are a sphinx, use you wings"
