Azure was a reincarnated human as a hippogriff, he just wanted to live a peaceful and relaxing life in comparison to his 24-7 non-stop working days back when he was a human. He applied to Twilight's School of Friendship and was lucky enough to be a roommate of the Student Six.
However, fate can be a dick sometimes.
Space Beasts suddenly began to appear in a world they SHOULDN'T be appearing at all. Azure thought he was finished.
And then light reached him.
Literally.
"With great power comes great responsibility."
