Gilda x Gallus: The Abandoned Episode

It was about eight hours ago that it started. Gallus had said he thinks he might hate her. He wasn’t lying. Sure, Gilda was doing nice things but in an absolutely dickish way. He was genuinely confused by her actions and constant flip flopping on them. If he hadn’t met some… ‘unique’ characters in his time in Ponyville he would’ve wondered if she was mentally stable.

After traveling since just before midday they’d made it to about three fifths the way there [which by the map puts them in them middle of the ocean so let’s assume the long way is the usual way people go is up north along the land bridge. Let’s also say that Dash is fast and secure enough to cross the ocean and that’s how she got back so soon]. Even though gryphons [and pegasus and other flying races] can go into a semi-conscious state that allows them to sleep while flying long distances, their body still needs rest. And as it got dark, the two landed and found a nice platou on a cliffside to spend the night on. There was even some rope there for some reason. So if they needed any rope they could checkoff that from the list.

This was originally my bullet point notes but I’m lazy

Seriously, I hate you
awww… but I think we’re friends now
Wtf?
Can’t a girl have a change of heart?
Requires a heart
Ouch. hey as far as gryphons go I’m pretty good
Yeah gryphons suck. Kinda hope I am part pony so I can stay in equestria
What then?
Probably become a guard or something. I know enough royalty to get a spot as a royal guard
Gotta love nepotism
I mean… I was gonna actually work for it but… yeah that’ll certainly help. Just like it did shining armour
Who?
d/w we’re friends.
This chapter was pointless

Author's Note:

Honestly, that’s pretty much the entire chapter in less than 100 words.
I just did a word count and it’s exactly 100 words. Also holy chit this is 35k words already… why do I always do this?
Oh hey, look at this silly quick idea for a story I have
3 months later
Ok, we’re at 100k words and I’m about 50% done. This is only mildly an exaggeration.
I swear if this become my next BIG story I’m a be annoyed.
I hope I’m at least half way through but who knows?

Let’s see… they get to gryphonstone and do X X and X, that’s a chapter each.
They then do X and maybe X
Then X but that’s a big X so maybe three chapters.
Then X and they X and X. then wrap up with X and X.
And there’s probably another random side X in there at least once.
Finally an X-pilog which brings us to a total of...
15 more chapters. About 2k words each. We’re looking at another 30k words.
That’s assuming everything goes as planned [which I do actually have now, although I mentioned that long ago in the notes that I have a plan, it’s just that at the time of writing this I only just posted chapter 5 and it’s very unplanned at that point] and I don’t derail somehow and end up adding X X X and X. Which I most likely will.

Well, I guess my goal of start writing again worked at least.

I should really finish E.G.W.W.E.? I’m so close to the end of it and I think I said that if I didn’t start writing it again within a year I’d do an abridged version of it like the above notes of this chapter to finish it. That was four years ago.

Come to think of it, the next part of that story heavily involves Gilda too…
