It appears that a gryphon has arrived in Ponyville overnight. I am not overly fond of the creatures. They are but the scrapings off the bottom of the second magic orb a thousand years ago - one of the few creatures, along with Dragons and such, to gain sentience after we did.
I still remember when they were formed due to the second orb dropping. One of the more curious and, well, disturbing effects of the second orb was the fusion of animals to create homunculi hybrids, some of which remained bestial and some of which also grew intelligence as the Ponies had.
The gryphon was just one of the latter, a mix between an eagle and a lion or something like that. They are far more common than the Dragon, which is, naturally, a mix between a crocodile and a pot-bellied pig.
As of any being with sentience, I cannot deny them their right to be identified as a species with rights and needs and wants and all that other rubbish. As long as they don't try to eat us, I'm fairly content.

It is amazing. In half a day, merely half a day, this Pinkamina character has managed to set up a false pretence and manipulate Rainbow Dash into setting up pranks upon the gryphon, which resulted in her estrangement. This is baseline manipulation of the highest degree.
I must be careful. It seems that she is far more devious than I have previously known, and her silly and callous mask is merely there to hide her true nature.
Or maybe it was all an accident.
Spike's reports aren't that clear. I think I will have to find a way to be able to see things for myself without having to leave the comfort and servitude of my castle.
But regardless, Pinkamina and Rainbow Dash have managed to solve a pressing matter for me. I have heard tell of the gryphon's shady dealings within the town, and there is a line between a prank and a
