Just a guy who found out that a show about talking ponies is a lot better than I expected.

(I couldn't find a better picture of Zipp in royal regalia)
Many moons have passed since Opaline's defeat. In that time, Queen Haven abdicated her throne, passing the crown to Zipp Storm. As ruler, she reaches out to the griffon kingdom, in order to reforge international relationships. However, due to ponies' tendency to split up by race, the griffon king wants nothing to do with them. But Zipp can't give in.
An entry in Imposing Sovereigns IV, using the prompt Zipp/Persistence.

That's great! You can find the rules here.

Thanks.
My only question, before I start reading, is why would Haven abdicate? She doesn't look that old in the show, and while she's not perfect, I'd hardly call that a reason.
Or is this an age thing?
A rare look at the mane 5 plus 1's possible future? I dig it. Also, OMG Sparky! You can talk!

This is far in the future, where she got too old.
A griffon with blue feathers? ...Any relation?

Possible descendant of Gallus. Open to interpretation.
I really liked this. I hope we get a sequel with the others helping to reach out to the other species
Intriguing look at the group quite a few years into a possible future. Definitely liked the work that went into the exchanges, characterizations and general wrap-up. And, yes, I could see this taking place when Zipp was still getting used to being Queen of Zephyr Heights and dealing with somebody who was a bit stubborn about not seeing the wisdom in renewing diplomatic ties with Equestria, leading to a meeting with and supportive dialogue from her friends and sister. And, yeah, the point about how there would be no guarantee that somebody couldn't just divide Equestria up again actually was a good one, even with the additional point out that it would take a lot of work to make sure it didn't.
Also liked the bit with the young adult (in pony years) Sparky working in good points of his own.
Yeah that was always going to be a big problem for her since she is going to be the ruler of Zephyr Heights like it's going to happen sooner or later
Well at least there are two creatures they actually reached out I've always wondered about the other creatures out there hopefully we get to see them again
Oh boy some attitudes hasn't changed over those past thousands of years
Racist much 😡
Yeah I guess that's a good point when it comes to trust it's really hard to get it back after what happened especially what Opaline have done to give the ponies that kind of reputation
Yeah when there's always good ponies and creature out there those also bad ones out there who will take advantage of it it's a never-ending good versus evil
Wow that was a pretty good so it looks like this is a future event when zipp became the ruler of zephyr heights of course she was pretty nervous especially having to talk with the other creatures like the Griffins to have come peace with each other but of course it did not go as planned because apparently the king wants the ponies and the creatures to leave them alone have nothing to do with the others since he can't trust the ponies or the pictures words that nothing like that will happen but she wants to make it work somehow despite the past luckily is royal advisor change his mind but they're going to have another meeting for this and she was pretty disoriented and dishearted about this whole situation that the Griffins would not accept peace and becoming allies with them but I guess With a Little Help from her friends she needs a point about like the history about the Equestria and how things were pretty damaged especially the trust but they can amend that relationship and unfortunately we don't know what evil pony or creature will come around but they will find a way to come together and defeat the huge threat and it looks like the king will agree to it and it should be a very bright future again this is why I really don't like politics it really brings the worst out of people but she handed it pretty well again well done on the story keep up the good work
This isn't bad, but it does reinforce my own belief that the sisters would work best as co-rulers, each covering the other's weaknesses and reinforcing her strengths.
As for the story, there's not much to it beyond a recap. Greer's argument is such poor faith that I'm amazed anything could convince him, especially when the pivotal point is a part of his own history. I wish Zipp had thrown back his unreasonable demands back at him ("Can you guarantee the griffon kingdom will never attack Equestria? If you were never interested in reestablishing contact, this may just be gathering intelligence for the invasion.") He'd end up less convinced by her arguments than impressed by her own willingness to put aside pointless niceties to do what she feels is right for her people.
Of course, at this point, I'm just rewriting the story to fit my own tastes.
In any case, thank you for the entry and best of luck in the judging.
