Chapter 1 - Dungeons and Ponies

After a long time Zachary came to. Though his mind was still hazy, he could still think.
"What the fuck?! Now where in hell am I?!" He though to himself.

Then trying to get up he did, but when he did he felt a wave of nausea coming on. So he sat down. But the nausea wasn't coming from standing, it was actually coming from a certain scent, the scent of, blood.

He blacked out, again.

Today had been a bad day for Twilight first she had to help ten ponies with random things, which was fine, but then she had to try to convince the town not to kill a griffin that had appeared in the flower grove. She still doesn't know why they would kill him/her, but they do, just because they attacked Equestria a few years back doesn't mean they had learned their lesson. But now she had to go interrogate him/her.

"Spike, I hope the other townsfolk aren't too rough on that Griffin."


As Zachary came to again, he wondered what was wrong why the people that threw a net over him did what they did.

"Well it would be scary if a random Griffin appeared out of no-where." Zachary mumbled under is breath.

"Quiet prisoner!" Someone yelled.

Zachary wondered who it was but after thinking about it awhile he decided to look over where the voice came from. As he did so, he noticed the most random thing ever, a pony, yes a pony of all things. To top things off that particular pony had armor and a horn.

"Better not piss that guy off, jeez."Zachary thought to himself.

After what seemed to be seconds there was a commotion of sorts.

"I need to see the prisoner now!" Said an very agitated feminine voice.

"Why would you need to see him?" Said the guard, I assumed, firmly.

"Because you said you wanted an interrogation and I'm here to act out that interrogation." The woman said again.

After a few moments the cell door opened the guard pointed a hoof down the hall.

"You will follow me down the hall." Said the guard.

"Uh, okay?" Zachary said, cautiously.

As Zachary walked down the hall he noticed something, almost all the cells were empty. As if being a prisoner was either rare or if you were a prisoner, you wouldn't have much time to live. Zachary hoped for the first to be true.

As the Griffin entered the room Twilight noticed that he was bleeding, the reason why it was so surprising was because the fact that he was still bleeding and that no-one bandaged it up.

"Get this Griffin a bandage, please! I know Griffins tried to conquer Equestria, not all Griffins are bad!" Twilight yelled, exasperated at there idiocy.

"He's a prisoner." A guard said.

"I don't care if he's a prisoner! Heck from what I got from the briefing, all he was doing was standing! You arresed him because he was only standing?!" Twilight yelled.

"He could have been a threat to our nations security!" Another guard said.

"U-uh I have no clue whats going on, but I'm sure I didn't mean anything by that." The Griffin said.

"Just let me question him, okay?" Twilight asked.

"Fine." A guard said, his face expressionless.


<>Zachary<>

"So, whats your name?" The purple unicorn asked.

"My name is Zachary." I answered cautiously.

"Whats yours?" I questioned.

"My name is Twilight, Twilight Sparkle." She said.

"Guards, can you please stop looking at him like he would kill me, I'm really sure you wouldn't want me to talk to Princess Celestia about you not getting that the Griffins learned their lesson." She said, making the guards flinch.

"OK" One guard said as they all left.

"I am so sorry." Twilight said.

"Why?" I questioned.

"Because, there was no reason for them to treat you like that! Even if the war is over, they still treat Griffins like they were Tartarus spawns." She stated.

"Wait, what war?" I asked, confused about this war.

At that moment, I was very lucky that Twilight didn't have any liquid in her mouth, because she did a spit-take. Luckily for me, no spit or anything else hit him.

"How do you not know of the war?!" Twilight practically yelled.
