Chapter 14
The escape part 2
Present time
Onyx woke up in the throne room, his head still hurt from the hit he got from the commander wondering why such painfull memory was playing in his head. He never forgot that day; the day he lost the last thing he had to remember his mother by. Ever since that day, the Emperor would send false letters to Celestia. Onyx rose from the floor, brushed himself off and turned towards the throne. The Emperor was sitting there, looking at him with a disdained look. Onyx only waited for his punishment like always, this was not the first time he tried to escape from this place, but each time he had miserably failed. The Emperor rose up and walked towards Onyx, and like every day, he was wearing his traditional armor.
“I had thought that the punishment you received last time would’ve taught you to try not to escape again... but, it looks like I need to upgrade the consequences this time... again.” Onyx did not move or answer. He had learned within the years that whenever Griffin wanted to punish him, there was nothing he could say or do to stop him.
“Why are you always trying to escape from me my dear? I have taught you so many things. I have given you a roof to live under, I have given you food to eat, and this is the way you repay me? I thought that I had raised you better than that, I raised you like my own chicks.” Onyx had lost his cool, he could endure the sarcasm or the pain, but never, NEVER! Would he let the Emperor act as if he was his father. The only family he had was Celestia; not this foolish Emperor.
“RAISE ME!?! You did not raise me, you had kidnapped me! For the last 10 years I’ve never seen my TRUE family. YOU... You only keep me here and ‘raise’ me until I’m good enough to be in your army! You always act as if I was your son! I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’m a free pony and the one who raised me was Celestia, and unlike you, she treated me good and raised me like as if I was her own foal.” The Emperor slapped Onyx across his face with his talon.
“Don’t speak to me with that tone, I will teach you how to respect me, rat. Guard! Bring him to the dungeon. This time it will be 25. Maybe a night in the dungeon will help you learn how to respect your superiors.” Onyx didn’t try to fight against the guards grip, even if he could easily hurt the griffin, but he didn’t try it, they needed to think that he was weak for his plan to work.
The guards brought Onyx in the dungeon of the castle, unlike Canterlot, if his memories are right, this dungeon is filled with many prisoners, some are Gryphons, other are Diamond Dogs and even ponies are here. The torturer walked in front of Onyx and pulled out his whip.
“You again... I’m starting to think you like me for continue to come see me... How many this time?” The guards pushed Onyx into the room and he fell on his knees.
“The Emperor has asked for 25 and 1 night in your cells. Do your job.” The guards left the room, leaving Onyx and the torturer alone. The Gryphon pushed Onyx in front of a log planted on the floor and tied his arms around it.
“Don’t forget to scream. I like to hear the beautiful sounds of your pain,” he whispered in his ear, then he stood back. Onyx awaited the hit, trying to focus his mind on good memories of his childhood, then the first hit fell upon his back, he screamed out in pain. He could feel his skin tear apart and the blood rush out. The torturer laughed at him and he whipped him again, again and again. Tears of rage and pain fell down Onyx’s eyes, it took all his strength not fall unconscious. For Onyx it seemed to last for hours but in reality, it only took 3 minutes.
“Here we go! 25 perfect hits, I’m so proud of myself, I’m sure you will never get whips like that from any other gryphon.” He grabbed him and threw him in the cells and closed the door. Onyx hit his head when he fell to the floor in the cell, and with the beatings he’d just received, he could no longer endure the pain, the unconscious gripping him once again.

6th of Draconoqus, 990 years after the N.M.M., 2 years and 8 months after Onyx had left Canterlot.
Birthday of Onyx.
Today was Onyx’s birthday, he will be 10 years old today, but he don’t care. For the last 2 years he has done everything to please the Emperor so that maybe he would let him go back home. He had thought that if he learned quickly to defend himself, the Gryphon’s would release him, but now he understands that the Emperor will, maybe, never release him.
Onyx was sitting in his bed, waiting for his trainer to come get him like every morning, and while he was waiting, he was caressing a hen that the Emperor have given him for his last birthday. He had called her Philo, to remember his mother’s pet, and she was his only friend here. The hen was eating some seeds from his hand as he delicately pulled some little feathers around her eyes. The hen starting to fall asleep in Onyx’s arms, Onyx didn’t move a muscle afrad to wake the hen up.
The door to his room opened, revealing the Gryffin Emperor, the hen woke up but stayed on Onyx’s lap.
‘’Onyx! Happy Birthday! How old are you now? 10 years of age is a important moment in a life fro Gryphon’s.’’ Onyx wasn’t listening to him nor did he respond to him, he only focused on trying to keep the hen calm, the deep voice of the Gryphon had scared her.
“Oh! I see that you still have that hen. That’s a good thing because we need her for your birthday party. Come follow me, and bring her with you.” Onyx was hesitant about that order, but he didn’t have the choice, the last time he didn’t follow a order from the Emperor, he didn’t get any food and water for a whole day. So he followed him and they both went in the courtyard outside on the training grounds.
“Take a sword Onyx, I will make you into a true warrior.” Onyx put the hen down and went to get one of the many swords that were on the wall. When he returned, he positioned himself in front of the Emperor.
“Good, now to make you a true warrior I will need to teach you something else. You see, a warrior can’t be good if they show mercy.” Onyx didn’t like where this conversation was going and fear gripped his heart.
“HA! I think you got it right, so to make you a warrior, I request... NO! I ORDER you, to kill that hen, and then we will eat it for your birthday dinner.”
“NO! I don’t want to kill her, she’s my only friend here, I won’t do it!” The Gryphon only laughed hard at him.
“Onyx, if you don’t kill it, you will show mercy in battle, and if you do that, you will end up being murdered” Onyx threw his sword on the ground.
“Good, because if becoming a warrior means that you have to kill your friends, well, I don’t want to become one.” The Gryphon only sighed and took Onyx’s sword.
“*Tsk* You don’t leave me much of a choice Onyx, you could have made great progress today, and we would’ve celebrated it with a feast, including your hen. But... It seems I will need to teach you a lesson.” The Gryphon swiftly caught the hen and placed the sword under her throat.
“NO!! Please don’t kill her please!” Onyx was crying and he wanted to help the hen but he only could watch his only friend get killed by the Emperor and slowly bleed to death. The emperor let the hen fall to the ground and went inside the castle. Onyx was trying to do something to save his only friend, but he realized quickly that he couldn’t do anything.

This story has gotten very depressing, but I will continue to read it in hopes that it gets better.
But overall denver.mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/img/mlfw9064-194.gif
Hmmmm...I hope he has a plan...and some help...He'll need it to escape from the entire gryphon kingdom..
...couldn't do it......I know my self too well i would lose it. I would kill the king and in return be killed on the spot or kill the torture with his own fucking whip.....but the again my parents were military and I very effective at self defense but this is all a non-issue because of how well Celestia raised Onyx
by the by love the story

I declare that griffin hunting season open! With unlimited tags and you can use any weapon. Now excuse me while I go my M-249 Squad Automatic Weapon.
The more updates I read the more I want Onyx to rip the emperors wings of with his bare hands thumbs up if you agree
showing mercy isn't a bad thing. it stops you from truly losing yourself as you kill ppl/ponies during war. hell, it might even help in the long run as that person you gave mercy to you might help you.
showing weakness what truly makes you stronger. this asshole of a king is a poor warrior.
Best way to kill a chicken.
-Hang chicken upside down with twine on their feet, so they can't move(Blood pooling in head will make them dizzier,so less painfull for them)
-Take a very sharp knife and remove thier head quickly
Just because they are animals doesn't mean we should be cruel everytime I take a life I do it for the sole purpose of meat or protection, and for protection (I will find some way to salvage eat unless human or zombie).
2081926
I,m sure Raynor will agree with you
2081960
good your right....
.....well when they are chick and they a problem to the feet we use a showel for cut the head
The suffering by the king may be evil for you to do to us and Onyx, but it will probably be necessary for when Onyx see's the horrors that his own race has committed, maybe equaling the griffins or surpassing them.
That reminds me. You said Raynor survived. Where the hell is that lazy bastard, Cancun?
In the chapter someone said that one of them is weak or must appear to weak in other to his plan to work. You were talking Onyx pretending being week so his escape plan work or the emperor making him believe he is weak so his plan work?
Also he said, he raise him as his chicks, did the Emperor, only have daughters so far? That is the reason he wants Onyx to become his son? So he can put it in the throne and married some of her daughters?
Also, fake letters? either the Emperor is a terrific copy writer and manage to imitated Onyx writing skills…Or Celestia for god knows what reason, don't see that his writing has suddenly change, and make no sense what so ever. Also what the hell the griffin wrote?
"Dear mother, is awesome being here, I love the city, the emperor, said that I can see him as a father, I think I will be a griffin now…prince of the griffin Onix"
Oh please don't make Celestia hate him when he return, that will just be horrible. Oh and just to be clear, he will return 3 years before Nightmare Moon return?
P.S: Tomorrow in the night would you will post the next chapter?
Hmmm, ehh I've read worse in terms of abuse but it is still solid. The whole chapter is good though as it shows that Onyx will develop a sense of morals for the future as well as sets a definite antagonist for the next few years for him.

hey this is raynor. i'm not here right now. leave a message after the ....
Cover art is awesome.
Hm the story gets a good load of feels and a thicker plot. I like that.
Lookie there, you got fan cover art. Awesome!
2082102 Epic fail Chicks are baby birds, doesn't matter if its a boy or a girl
I'm honestly not sure what to feel anymore. You see, there are several major plot holes here. One: Celestia would realize that the letters were faked, she raised the boy for Luna's sake. SHE TAUGHT HIM HOW TO WRITE! Two: Realizing that the letters were indeed faked she would find something much more powerful and honorable to just go in and fuck up everything in the Gryphon kingdoms. I vote dragons.
Because honestly Dragons, are egotistical, and downright dangerous most of the time. But, they always keep their word and they have an unshakeable code of honor. (Spike having a DRAGON CODE is proof of this) There is an often overlooked fact about most dragon hordes are the spoils from the liars and dishonorable people that have come seeking their treasure. If they find you pure of heart you could end up walking out of their cave with some shiny weapon or armor or something and they would just sit there and wave goodbye.
So yes... I'm honestly not sure I can actually keep reading this. Because if your going to do something this depressing you need to put a DARK tag on it.
2082507
ah, my bad, well I wonder how their children's are…I just hope at least one of them if not a prick and actually will help Onyx escape
2081977
Dull Hachet has probably been my least favorite sharpen it right after I took of the firt head.

2082600 "You only fear what you don't know"
If you saw a baby alien you would want to get rid of it, wouldn't you? You wouldn't say "Let me go ahead and keep this alien, I have no fucking clue if it could spit acid in my eyes, or grow claws and kill me" Celestia didn't get rid of it because she is a kind ruler, But if any other person who Isn't wise, or overly nice saw an alien, all shit would break loose.
Ok, now I'm pissed... I'm sending in my sister... make sure there's a wood chipper waiting for her...
(I'm pissed at the asshole gryphons, not you, just to be clear)
2081909 Ha! Really? Nice choice but.....*Brings out a PKP PECHENEG which Fires the same 7.62x54mm round as the Dragonuv* Now I'M going to have FUN!
2082031 HEY! How are you talking? You're Gordon friggin Freeman for Luna's sake! Now go release Episode 3 or so help me I will Grav-Nade you!
2083303
He not talking he is writting not the same thing
2082533
if i did not pui the dark tag is for areason
with that sort of everyday occurrence wont he start to produce a spilt personality so that one part is protected from it while the other lives with it (this could also be a good idea for further on in the story, the darker persona protects him from getting killed if there is any fighting)
I HAVE LOST ALL FAITH IN THE GRYPHONS DAMMIT GRYFFIN I WILL MURDER GILDA AND SHOVE HER UP YOUR ASS FUCK YOU
How would they forge Onyx's handwriting. Griffon claws are not as dexterous as human hands, surely Celly would catch on.
Why hasn't she visited the Giffon Empire yet? Just teleport in unexpected like the king did.
I was reading the chapter and I found some mistakes. Red is the changed sentence.
"Today was Onyx’s birthday, he would be 10 years old today, but he didn't care."
"For the last 2 years he had done everything to please the Emperor so that maybe he would let him go back home."
"He had thought that if he learned quickly to defend himself, the Gryphon’s would release him, but now he understood that the Emperor would probably never release him."
"The hen started to fall asleep in Onyx’s arms, Onyx didn't move a muscle afraid to wake the hen up."
"Onyx was hesitant about that order, but he didn't have the choice; the last time he didn't follow a order from the Emperor, he didn't get any food and water for a whole day."
"So he followed him and they both went into the courtyard outside on the training grounds."
“Onyx, if you don’t kill it, you will show mercy in battle, and if you do that, you will end up being murdered.”
" Onyx tried to do something to save his only friend, but he realized quickly that he couldn't do anything. "
Aside from these rather minor things I noticed, this chapter was great! I am really hating this Emperor right now.
2119940 Whoa Whoa Whoa slow your roll tiger! Gilda had nothing to do with this!
you gryphon cunt (take sniper rifle unload a round in his skull)

(Takes the 'Emperor' and throws him into a grinder.)
Oh no....... Not that military training....... Anything but that!!!!!!
3148633 You are way to merciful
Torture is the real way to kill bastards
5317197 I agree. Here is a video to express this.
....as my rage is built at onyx's treatment so do the ideas for many torture devices

Extreme physical endurance and neuroplasticity. those are our best weapons. You can teach a human nearly anything given enough time, and we evolved as endurance predators. we would literally chase our prey until it collapsed from exhaustion, then we'd kill it and eat it. Give us tech and we can rain death upon our enemies. While we're weak compared to other species, our minds and unique endurance make us powerful. In fact, given time to sleep, and an endless supply of food and water, a fit human can theoretically walk indefinitely.
I want to hecking do griffin genocide after reading the past few chapters
