//------------------------------// // The calm before the storm. // Story: Griffin Pony war. // by Meh121 //------------------------------// 12:14 am 2/29/12 "Spike I need you to watch our kids for us." I said to Spike although he was a great fighter back then he could now easily be swooped up by the griffins and get killed. "But....." Spike tried to argue "Spike not because we are married now does not mean he is always right but we talked it over maybe next time please just do this for us." Twilight said. "Fine." Spike said clearly upset about not going. "Thanks." I said as I patted Spike on the back. "So now that we got that out of the way let's get back down to business shall we?" Celestia asked. "Certainly your magistracy." I said to her bowing. "Now that you are head of the Equestrian military it's the same thing as the commander of a military you really don't do much of the fighting." Celestia said to me. "With all do respect your highness I'm fighting with the same team even if that means I get stripped down to even a regular General." I said to her. "Tyler what are you doing you talked about getting this job before." Dash said to me. "I would rather be with my friends we are a team and always will be." I said to her with a smile. "It's fine to do this we can handle ourselves." AJ said walking up to me. "Look all of you I'm touched you would like for me to keep my job but like I said even if I get stripped down a rank or two I would rather be fighting with my greatest friends and my wife." I said. "It's fine you can stay commander and fight with them." Celestia said. "Oh tank you princess." I said kissing her hoof. "It's no trouble but just try to keep safe." Celestia said. "We will." I said to her. "Oh and congrats on the cutie mark." Celestia said. "Thanks." I said looking at it. I noticed something it changed. "Wait what the hell!" I said still not used to to much pony langue "What?" Fluttershy asked scared after my unexpected scream. "My cutie mark changed it's a gun and my journal I used to write with." I said. "Hmm maybe being a human yours will change." Luna said to me. "I guess so." I said blushing a bit. I gathered all the Equestrian army in the castle gardens there were ponies from everywhere. "I'm guessing you all want a speech well here is all I can say fall or stand fight or hide live or die conquer or be conquered protect or be over ran we are the Equestrian army although I am a human I still fought beside some of you and these griffins expect us to surrender! I would rather die then be taken over by some griffin filth." I said trying to pump them up and it worked mixed shouts were made all of them supportive. "Wow he has quite a work with his words just with that little bit of words." Celestia said. "He is also a born leader he has a power I've never seen when I fought with him his determination it was like it spread to us." Luna said to her sister. "It's interesting having a human in Equestria one that actually staying here to." Celestia said walking off into her castle. "Indeed it is." Luna said following behind them. "Today we march onto their territory I have groups of 50 or more taking back lost grounds I want casualties low so keep it close!" I said. "Sir where are we going exactly?" A solider asked me. "To the mountains and to the sky's and where ever they are." I said to him he was a young solider maybe younger then me. "Well then let's move out." I said to them. We all grabbed our gear and started our march into the griffin controlled territory. "I hope he knows what he is doing." Celestia said. "Trust me sister he does." Luna said mad that she was doubting me. "I have faith in him." Luna said to her sister. "So do I but its just the others I don't want to lose Twilight and her friends not after what happened last time." Celestia said. "They are fine." Luna said. "I hope." Celestia said. (It's always calm before the storm.) I thought.
