Griffon of Canterlot

Chapter 10 – Gifting Gift Griffon

Celestia knocks on the door with her hoof a few times to get no response from her now griffon son. “Young one are you awake?” No reply came. “Has my little one came out of his room?” She asked an guard.

The guard in question shook his head. “No princess. But I have heard the sound of a shower running for about five or so minutes.”

Celestia listen to the sound within. “Hmm... It seems he figured out how to take a shower.” Celestia carrying a tray of toast, eggs and hash browns with a pot of tea with an cup, milk and sugar beside it.

The guards open the two doors and Celestia walks inside with them closing the doors behind her. “Hmm...” She saw the bed had been attempted to be made with the griffon plush sitting on top of the pillows. “Basic memories of how to do things return, but how is another story.”

Magical the room's landscape walls and ceiling had shifted back into an daytime feel, Celestia happy to see her's and Luna's joint magical present is working with wonderful results.

She put the tray down at the table. “S-” Celestia caught her breath on the word and taking a calm deep breath of air she spoke. “Son!” She knocked on the door. “I got you breakfast.”

The shower stopped running and Celestia step back from the door, it opened a few moments later with Celestia trying not to laugh at the feather and fur fluffed griffon before her. “Oh my... You poor thing. It look like you need a good brushing.”

The griffon looked over himself and shrugged. “Not bothered huh?” He nods. “Well I can help.” She picked up a brush with her magic. “While you eat of course.” Celestia hints to the table.

He accepts it with a nod and a few flaps of his wings the griffon walked up to the table, he sat down at it to eat his breakfast while Celestia started to use the brush on him.

First thing he did was make himself a cup of tea from pouring the milk into the cup followed up two tea spoons of sugar. Celestia watched him pour the hot water into the cup and mixed it together, she was impressed by the way he did it.

Moving on from that he took the knife and folk cutting into the toast and placing it on the egg to cut that too. He placed the food into his beak enjoying the taste of the breakfast. Celestia curiously watched as she continued to brush his fur and feathers back into the right place.

“Am I to guess you know how to have a shower, brush your teeth and even use the toilet but you do not know when or how?” The griffon almost choked on his food when Celestia said it, he squawks angrily in response raising his head looking upwards at her while hinting to his food.

“Not the right time to ask.” He nods. “You are correct.” Celestia continue to brush him.

He nods annoyed and goes back to eating.

Celestia put the brush down and used her magic to bring over a hand held size mirror to him. “Finished.” He stops eating once more as the mirror now floating before him.

“Will this be forgiving?” Celestia smiled slyly as he saw that Celestia sorted out his fur and feathers. With a nod and slight smile he continue to enjoy his breakfast.

Celestia walked over to the box sitting on the dresser. “After you've eaten the breakfast and drunk the tea, I think it finally time to open your present.” Celestia sat down on a set of cushions by the balcony doors.

The teenager looked over at her with a nod, taking a sip of tea he loved the flavour that came from it. With a gleeful sigh he drunk a bit more of it, feeling the refreshing semi hot liquid go down his throat.

After finishing his breakfast and tea he went over to the cushions sitting down on it looking at the box beside Celestia. “You look a lot better.” She gentle moved her hoof over his side the face. “Feeling better?” He nods

“But still feeling a bit unwell?” He nods again. “Maybe this will help brighten your day.” Celestia place the box down on his lap.

He look down at it with talons grabbing it sides. “Go on.” Celestia eager to see his reaction when opening it.

The teenage griffon dig the claws in and tear the paper off with the lid to see inside was an green bandanna with two blue silky bands. He somehow knew what they were and what they were before, these was the scraps of clothing he had on now something more wearable.

“Like me to-” She was about to offer to help him but suddenly saw him doing it all by his own.

“Nevermind, I see you can handle it. Son.” Celestia watched the griffon slip the bands over his paws and up his hind legs slightly, then tie the bandanna around his neck adjusting it.

He stood up on all fours and showed off his new duds to his mother the princess of the lands Equestria he knew so little about. Celestia Smiled warmly at the sight of her griffon son looking very handsome in her own eyes, the sight of him so happy with what he now wears it was an wonderful feeling to have.

The teenager gasp and flies over to the desk pulling out some papers, a quill and ink well. He point to it and to her. “You want to draw me?” He nods rapidly and eagerly. “Very well you shall my little griffon.” She sat still smiling as the griffon got to work on drawing her.

Celestia watched as his eyes quickly gazed over to her before going back to staring at the paper on the table as he drew on it. “Why do you want to draw a picture of me?” He use a wing to point to his bandanna and then at her. “And how did you learn to do that with your wing?”

He glance over to the doors and back over to her. “Ah I see, the Pegasi.” The griffon nods slightly as he continue to draw.

After a little time that pasted he grins and pick up the paper handing it out to Celestia. He eager for her to see what he created for his mother, he hoping she likes what he drew.

Celestia using her magic took it from him. “Well let's see what we got right-” Suddenly looking at it the drawing was a different shades of blue and moving. “H-” Celestia flare her wings with surprise seeing she was surrounded by the same stuff.

Looking around it was moving around her. “What is this aurora? Is this what Shining Armor saw a few weeks ago on the day my sister came back to me?” Celestia asked no one.

She thought it was no one but the griffon watched with a curious and confused look. His mother was looking around with wings flared out moving in an odd fashion still holding the picture, he didn't know why Celestia was acting so weirdly while holding a drawing of herself he created.

Flapping his wings the griffon flew over to the paper and took it from her magic as he did Celestia blinked a few times, her eyes finally set on him holding the picture showing it to Celestia. “What happened to the blue aurora?”

He hovered with a tilt of the head confused by the words she said and showed the picture he drew. “Your drawing it was of-” She paused seeing he was still confused. “That is the drawing you created?” He nods slowly and put his talons out to her.

Celestia took it with hesitation but didn't get the same effect from the first time only the feel of paper in her levitation magic. “It a beautiful drawing.” She decided to put aside what she experienced since her griffon son wasn't even aware of what just happened.

“I love it. Thank you for this wonderful gift.” He hummed happily and hugged her, in turn she hugged him back. “Now...” She let go of the hug.

Celestia sighed slightly. “I and my sister have meetings attend to sadly.” His ears lowered and his head too with sadness falling upon him. “Son...” He looked up. “Your still recovering but I believe you can go to the castle library.”

The griffon looked excited at the news of that. “Captain Shining Armor and my niece... Your cousin now Cadance will take you there and look after you.” Celestia said walking over to the tray picking it up. “I will see you just before sunset. I do apologise but duties as princess is an busy one.”

He cooed in disappointment. “I am not sure how to explain it...” Celestia said looking over to the door. “They be around shortly and I advise reading up on a duty of an princess or prince. Then I hope you understand.” Celestia opens the door. “Love you son.”

The griffon tapping his beak with an finger trying to think of how to reply and recalled an expression all the sudden. Blinking he did it by putting his talon over his beak and pushing it out with a smush sound from his beak.

Celestia laughed at what he did and repeated it back with her own hoof over the snout. Pushing the hoof out and saying. “Yes you love me too.” They laughed for a moment, Celestia left the room a moment later with tray and drawing.

The griffon walked over to the window jumping up on his hind legs placing his forelegs on the window frame, he took a good lookout to the town in the distance. Curiously wondered about that town and what kind of ponies live there.

Unknown amount of time past for him as he just kept staring out the window letting his mind wonder into countless imaginative thoughts. A knock on the door got his attention turning to it Shining Armor and Cadance stepped into the room.

“Ready to go?” Shining asked.

He nods.

Cadance took a good look at the new bandanna and leg bands. “That a nice look for you...”

He nods.

“Cousin.”

He squawked happily and Shining Armor waved his hoof. “Come on kiddo, the library awaits.”
