Lightning Dash
He is woken by a knock at his door. Lightning Dash gets up and stretches as he makes his way to the door. He opens it to see Swift Beak standing there.
“Good morning, Lightning Dash. It’s time for you to finally start combat training.”
“Really? That’s awesome. Do I at least have time to get cleaned up?”
“Of course. I’ll be waiting in the entrance hall.”
“K, see ya in a bit.”
Lightning Dash has been living with the Gryphons for a year now, learning their history and their culture. He has also learned some facts that the Equestria history books conveniently left out. Like, the Gryphon uprising two thousand years ago that ended with a crushing defeat at the hands of the ponies. This by itself was OK, seeing as the Gryphons started the war, but what happened afterwards was unforgivable. When the ponies won, they forced the Gryphons into a desolate land on the edge of the map with barely enough resources to survive. The Gryphons had since been able to adapt and had a thriving society, but the pony race has been treating the Gryphons as an inferior race ever since. Lightning Dash was starting to hate Equestria.
Lightning Dash finishes taking his shower, then heads down to meet Swift Beak.
“So,” he says as he trots over to his best friend, “who’s gonna be training me?”
“I am.” He laughs at Lightning Dash’s expression. “C’mon, Dash, you didn’t actually think I was just an emissary, did you? Nope, I am the number one soldier in the entire Gryphon Kingdom. You should be honored to be trained by me.”
“I am,” Dash sputters out. “I’m just surprised, is all.”
“Don’t worry, our friendship won’t make me go easy on you. I am to train you to be better than me, and how can I do that if I go easy on you.”
“Fair enough. Let’s get started.”
The two walk out to the training yard where other Gryphons are busy whacking dummies or each other.
“First things first, we need to find you a suitable weapon.”
“No need for that, Swift Beak. I already have one.” He holds out his hoof.
Swift Beak laughs. “Sorry, Dash, but a hoof won’t be that effective against somebody with a blade.”
“Hold on, I found out about this a month ago and I want to try it out.” His face contorts with concentration as lighting starts coming out of his hoof. After a minute he has it to the length of a normal sword. He hovers two feet off the ground so he doesn’t have to stand on three hooves. He looks to Swift Beak. “Pretty cool, huh?”
“Awesome. You know, your father could do something like that, only with fire.”
At the mention of his father, Dash’s eyes went hard. “Don’t ever talk to me about that pony. He abandoned my sister and me, and he doesn’t even deserve to be called my father.”
Swift Beak is taken aback by this sudden outburst. “Uh, very well. Icks-kne on the ather-fe. Well, let’s see how sharp that lightning is.” He points over to a dummy shaped like a pony. “Go over to that dummy, and see what damage you can do.”
“K.” Dash flies over to the dummy, looks at it, pictures Thunder Twist, and swings the lightning down onto its neck, severing it completely.
Swift Beak claps his claws together. “Oh, the King is going to love this.”
Lightning Dash looks to his flank just as a sword surrounded by angry blue lightning appears there.
