I am flying off towards griffin territory. Spike is on my back along with a backpack, tent, and Twidragon. We brought her along as our test subject for the flower. Once I saw the wall that separated the Griffon empire from Equestria. I flew just past it and shrank to my human form into a forest.
“Alright Spike, we’re in, time to start walking.” I picked up the backpack with the tent and sleeping bags in it. I also chained
Twilight to my back and we headed off.
“So Sean what did you do with the others?”
“Simple I tightened the chains and put their faces in ice buckets with the muzzles still on.”
“Oh, ok.”
We walked for about 6 hours until I heard voices.
“Spike get down!” I grabbed him and jumped into a bush. Just then a group of griffin soldiers walked by. Jeez even in times of peace they keep the military patrolling.
Once they passed we kept walking. Then Spike started to talk.
“Um Sean?”
“Yeah Spike?”
“Why did we hide from the griffins? Why didn’t you just go all STAB SLICE DIE GRIFFINS DIE! On them?”
“Simple we have a mission and I can’t afford to start a new war or anything. After the 8th incident Celestia said she would lock me in a volcano”
“Oh alright.”
Well Twilight woke up about an hour ago. She was really annoying, there was a lot of growling and when we took off the muzzle for a minute here’s her speech.
“Oh Spike you look pretty tasty! I am going to eat you and clean my teeth with your bones!” it did get funny for a moment when she shot a fire ball at him. He screamed like a little girl and jumped behind a rock. Dragon Twilight and I had a good laugh from it. though she eventually just got irritating so it was time for her to shut up.
I had to tighten the chains on my body to keep her still while knocked her out. The good news is we found the Scale Rose! We were walking past a meadow when Spike saw them. I took Twilight off my back and chained her to a tree.
“Ok Spike, the book says to take four Roses use dragon fire to create ashes and have the afflicted being swallow the ashes. Gross.”
“Right!” Spike saluted then went over and plucked four of them and brought them to me. “Sean.”
“Yeah?” I grabbed them from him.
“What is so special about dragon’s fire?”
“Well you see dragons are actually magical beings, therefore the fire itself is magical I am guessing the magic helps with the affect.”
He nodded his head in understanding and then handed me the flowers.
“Perfect.” I took them in my palm and burned them with my breath. Next was to grab Twilight, I undid the chains and took her muzzle off.
“Spike hold her mouth open.” Spike came up and opened her fang filled mouth. I took the ashes and poured them down her throat. “And now we wait, you get the sleeping bags and fire wood; I will set up the tent.”
I woke up to some muffled sounds. “Ugh, Spike shut up!” I threw my pillow at him. It didn't stop so I looked over to my right and I saw Spike still asleep. So I looked towards the other side of the tent, we had tied her to a log we brought into the tent. This was a precaution in case she tried to attack us in the middle of the night. I saw Twilight jerking around and making some sort of noise. I walked over to her; I noticed she physically looked like her old self. I grabbed her muzzle and took it off her face.
“Twilight are you back to normal?”
“What do you mean? The last thing I remember was us planning to look for a fix for the spell tomorrow.”
“Yeah that was a week ago.”
“What!” I then told her the story of her and the other three going crazy and homicidal.
“That’s terrible, did I really try to eat Spike?”
“Yep, it was pretty funny.” By now Spike had woken up. He did not appreciate my amusement.
Well after about an hour we decided to get back home. I was walking a bit ahead of Spike and Twilight when I heard them scream.
I spun around and there was a group of four griffins two of them were holding Spike and Twilight and the other two had these strange looking spears pointed at me. They were definitely weird, they were long and silver, the handles looked like they could twist in the spots they had their hands placed.
The one in front of the group with the spear pointed at my chest spoke “Well, well, well look what we have here.”
“How’s it going griffins?”
“What are you doing here? Part of our agreement with Equestria is that you specifically do not enter our territory.”
“So?”
“So we are going to have to take you to our king.”
“Sure, that’s going to happen. Just give my friends back and I will only burn one of you.” I then started to turn my arm into a sword when one of them stabbed his spear into my chest. “You do know this can’t AAAAGHHH!”
One of them had twisted part of the spear handle and it had started to send and electrical charge through my entire body. Fun fact, similar to how my body does not recognize cold making my heart stop it also ignores electric charges through me. I fell to the ground things started to go dark until I blacked out.
