The Elder Scrolls: The Battle for Gryphus
Chapter 15

"Fus RO DAH!" I shout and blow the door in.

Discord then creates illusions of ponies in guard armour rushing inside making the occupants yelp in surprise.

Fleetwind flies in and slashes at one of the unicorns with her right wing blade leaving a deep gash across his face before twisting her body to put him in a headlock and then snap his neck.

I run inside and impale the left minotaur in the chest and then kick him off my sword.

Rainbow Dash soars past me and slits the throat of the other unicorn with a wing blade and then slams all four hooves into a griffin's face knocking him out cold.

Discord just strolls in and clonks the changelings with his staff turning them into real ponies as they're knocked out and Discord's staff laughs maniacally.

White Star is firing blasts of magic at the griffins wielding bows while the shield baring one's charge at us.

Honour throws his sword with his telekinesis like a boomerang and decapitates the other minotaur and then charges at a griffin with a sword and shield.

I cast a sparks spell at three griffins and they tense up before dropping to the floor (85%).

Razor Beak growls and lunges at me with a longsword and kite shield where he stabs me in the joint of my left shoulder between the pauldron and chestplate (79%).

"Gaaah!" I shout out in pain and swing my sword down at him with my right arm.

He sidesteps the swing and pulls his sword away, a small spray of blood following it. I take him by surprise as I thrust my left foot out and boot him right in the beak. "Aaah!" he yelps as blood drips out of his nostrils and a crack is on the right side of his beak.

"I'm going to kill you right here, right now, and there is no one left to save you," I tell him and stomp over to him as my allies continue to fight off the others.

Discord uses his magic to collapse the main entrance before Razor Beak's main forces can come to his aid.

I swing my sword at Razor Beak which he ducks under and counters with another thrust. I lean to the left and twist my chest to avoid it and lunge out with my left fist and punch him in the face.

He stumbles back and clutches his face with a scowl. "I'll make you regret ever getting in my way!" he yells and pulls out a small bowgun and pulls the trigger, the small bolt bounces off my helmet's forehead and I growl at him in response.

"Then you should have stayed clear of Luna and Equestria you damn harpy. I'm going to enjoy ripping out your feathers before cutting off the rest of your wings piece by piece," I tell him with malice in my voice.

It sounds like the others have finished off the rest of his lackeys so I walk slowly towards Razor Beak with my sword pointing at him.

He looks around and growls at the others before pulling out a crystal and places his thumb claw in the middle, it glows for a second before going dim. "What!?" he yells in surprise.

"Let me guess, that is a teleportation crystal or something? It's not going to work," I inform him and then cast a Frostbite spell at him.

He crosses his arms in front of his face as the Ice begins to cover him. I can hear sounds of metal hitting metal and screams of pain echo throughout the Catacombs as the two main forces clash.

I stop spraying ice at him (30%) and before he could recover, I kick him in the side of his head and knock him out.

"I thought you wanted to kill him?" Discord asks me.

"I do, but I want Iron Beak to have one last chat with this bastard, and if he wants to, he can finish him off. If not, I'll tear this piece of guar crap apart myself," I reply and tie Razor Beak up and then start dragging him out of the room.

The others glance at each other as I walk past them dragging the unconscious griffin behind me. I place my right hand on my left shoulder and cast a healing spell to close the stab wound I received (98%) (12%).

After a few minutes we exit the Catacombs and trudge back to the Castle.


An hour later the battle in the Catacombs has ended, after news that Razor Beak was captured the remaining one-hundred and twenty of Razor's forces surrendered. We suffered heavy loses as well, about three-hundred griffins and seventy-two ponies died in the battle.

We're in the dungeons where King Iron Beak is standing over the now conscious Razor Beak with a deep frown. "How could you do this to our family name!?" he asks him with a hurt tone.

Razor Beak just remains silent and glares at me.

"So you have nothing to say for yourself?" Iron Beak asks him.

Razor then looks at the King. "You're too much of a coward to be a King, we were a warrior race, we ruled the lands over a thousand years ago before the alicorns arrived, and now look at us, look at what you and our forefathers have made of us. We should be taking the lands of the ponies, zebras, and minotaurs and rule them all! Yet you seem content to allow them to walk all over us with this so called peace!" he says and then growls.

Iron Beak sighs at him. "And we would have been wiped out by their combined forces, our forefathers thought about the future and our people. Your short-sightedness has almost cost us our lives. What if your attack on the Princesses succeeded? Who would guide the sun and moon? The world would die should the alicorns fall. You almost destroyed the world with your power hungry warmongering!" Iron Beak yells at his son.

Razor Beak looks away with a frown.

"Living in peace is not weakness, our country has flourished due to trade with the other nations. I have no choice but to sentence you to death for your crimes throughout the world," the King says and turns away from Razor Beak, he then looks at me. "I cannot bring myself to do the deed. Please make it painless," he asks me with a sad expression before leaving.

I look at the glaring Razor Beak. "How unfortunate, I won't be able to make you suffer for what you've done," I say to him and walk over so I'm standing in front of him.

"Go ahead and do it, but Alduin will destroy you," he replies and closes his eyes.

"We'll see, I am the Dragonborn, every dragon I slay makes me stronger. When Alduin and I do meet, I'll rip out his soul. But you won't be here to see it, and you won't be around to threaten my family and friends again," I tell him. I raise my sword and with a strong swing, I cut off his head.

The guards of the castle drag the corpse away and I return to the throne room.

"I take it, it is done?" Iron Beak asks me.

"Yes, I'm sorry you lost your son, but I'm not sorry for ending his life," I reply. "What will happen to the changeling who just wants to live here?" I ask him.

"She'll be allowed to live here, she wasn't harming anyone and her mate, despite knowing she's a changeling, still wants to be with her... Now you may return to Equestria, I wish to mourn the loss of my son, and please tell the Princesses that I'll send them a gift for their aid," he tells me.

"Alright. I hope the future holds better tidings for you Iron Beak, farewell," I reply and leave the throne room.

I head back to the airship and get on board. Discord Is lounging on a hammock sipping on a cup of tea.

"So, we're heading back home are we?" he asks and drinks the teacup leaving the tea floating in the air before tossing it overboard.

"Yes, Razor Beak is dead and his lackeys will either be executed or placed in the dungeons for a long time," I reply.

The ponies that worked under Razor are being brought back to Equestria to stand trial so we're taking the ten top ranked ponies from his army back with us while the rest will be brought via airship later.

"I see, well then, I'll head back first and let everypony know you're on your way home then," he tells me and floats up off his hammock.

"Okay, I'll see you and the others in a few days," I tell him.

He grins and raises his right paw up. "See you then, Farengar. Ta ta!" he replies and snaps his fingers, and in a pink puff of smoke he's gone.

I wait for two hours for the others to get on board, Rainbow lands on the deck with Gilda beside her. "Sup, Farengar! It's okay for Gilda to hitch a ride with us right? She want's to apologise to my friends," she asks me.

"Sure, she can bunk with you in your cabin," I reply.

"Sweet, come on G, let's go get something to eat," Rainbow tells her friend and they both head down below.

Twenty-three minutes later the airship takes off back towards Equestria.
