Griffin Needle Challenge 2013

This is the third year I have been apart of this event and challenge. This year out team was made of 3 people from the house north star core and 3 from my household Kumpania de Umbra. We worked really well togeather and WON our division. There are three: Intermediate, Advanced, and Pixis.

Also we had a royal court friday night at midnight and it was the first pajama court in history. Sadly I misunderstood when court was going to be and did not come in my pj's. BUT I was awarded "The Black Flame" which is an award for arts and sciences. Ill post that pic in the mist of all the other ones too.
