"OK, so let me get this straight: you prevented equestria from falling into eternal night, defeated the embodiment of chaos himself, helped save an entire EMPIRE, and defeated a crazy centaur all with the power of friendship?"
It had been two days since Altair had arrived in equestria, and already he and twilight sparkle were the best of friends. They were on their way to sugarcube corner to get some lunch. They were trading adventures during their lives
"Yep," said a smiling twilight. "Although it's not as cool as saving the entire planet just using your badassery." Altair smiled at this. Twilight reminded him of Maria. She was smart, beautiful, caring, and unafraid. But this frightened Altair also. Was he being unfaithful to Maria, falling for someone else? Altair hoped...
"I SAID, OUT OF THE WAY LOSER!" Altair jumped at this sudden insult. He turned to find a scared Fluttershy cowering under the gaze of an agitated Griffin Twilight's friends knew all to well.
"What are you, deaf?!" said Gilda as she glared daggers at the pony under her feet.
"I... I'm... S-sorry... I d-didn't mean t-to," said a teary eyed Fluttershy as she tried to make herself as small as physically possible.
"Well you should look where you're going you bucking RETARD!" Gilda procceded to slap the yellow pegasus before her.
"p-please," said Fluttershy, bawling now. "I... I-i'm S S Sorry-"
Gilda slapped Fluttershy before she could finished. "you're a despicable creature that shouldn't be on this planet!"
Every word that the fuming griffin said made Altair angrier and angrier. When Gilda slapped Fluttershy for the third time, Altair lost it.
Altair charged at the Griffin, yelling a battlecry that chilled the bones of everyone that heard it.
When gilda turned, the sight before her made her stopped dead in her tracks. A strange Grey unicorn was walking toward her, with a look in his eyes that could rival even the stare. But the griffin was as stupid as she was brash.
"What do you want, asswipe-" before gilda knew it, she was against a wall, the unicorn holding a strange dagger-gauntlet to her neck.
"How. Dare. YOU." said the unicorn through gritted teeth.
"Now see here -" that's as far as gilda got before she got a right hook to the jaw.
"You know, I met someone just like you during my life," said the strange unicorn with a voice as cold as ice, but burned like the fires of Hades. "a person who took advantage of others."
The unicorn then brought the blade up to Gilda's throat. "But he's now six feet under." He then pressed the blade to her chin, drawing blood. "Do you wish the same fate?"
"Altair, wait, " he turned to find Twilight's hoof on his shoulder. "She's not worth it." Altair then turned to the despicable being before him.
"Get out of my sight, " Altair said as he dropped the griffin like a bad sack of potatoes. Gilda then glared at him, and flew off as fast as her wings would let her.
"I wasn't going to kill her you know, " said Altair as he turned to twilight, but instead found the biggest surprise of his life.
Before him stood an alabaster white alicorn with a pastelle mane and a brilliance that rivaled the sun itself.
"I don't believe we've met, " said princess Celestia as she smiled at Altair.
