Prince Gwyn, last surviving heir to the throne of Griffonstone, returns to the home he's never known with plans and promises to see the fallen city restored to its former glory. The royal griffon has much on his to-do list; including bridging the gap between Equestria and Griffonstone by seeking the Princesses aid, orchestrating a massive international treaty and... oh yeah, announcing his intent to marry Celestia.
You have my attention.

Huh, interesting. Please continue. I like the idea and this Gwyn griffon, hope we'll know more about him soon.
Keep up the good work my good man
I wonder why no one has asked for proof of royal ancestry...

Seems like a missed opportunity to overcome an initial challenge and prove himself to establish his character.
My itch has been scratch. Please keep scratching my itch.
This is an interesting idea, although it's strange that Grandpa Gruff hasn't been mentioned. He might not be Griffonstone's official leader, but he's been acting as their village elder, so his absence is noticeable.

I've actually got him popping up later with a funny entrance. Funny to me at least. lol.
Huh, ain't that something. Keep going I'm liking this
Please tell me that somepony is going to check out his story in that alleged village...
Whelp, there goes my Gilda x Gwyn or Gabby x Gwyn ship.

My bad. Lol.

It doesn't become a point of contention, but we do get to actually see the village by the end.

It's fine. There's just only a few Griffin romance fanfics. Most of them focus on cross species romance like Griffin x pony. I don't mind them. I like those fics but I have this Griffin romance inch I can't scratch. To my knowledge there is only one fic about Gilda x Griffin OC that I like called the Third Nicest Thing. Anyway, I was surprised about the proposal. Gwyn would still have Celestia's support without the proposal.
"...Oh, and for some reason, all the flowers I sent the Princess...well...she ate them..."
First, pfftahahahahahaha!
Second, wow. Gwyn is one serious romantic. This makes me like him more.
I do hope there's some depth behind Gwyn besides being perfect all the time.
From a political standpoint it makes sense for Gwyn to marry Celestia .
Perhaps you should mention that the griffon food is mostly for carnivorous stomachs.
I'm glad Gruff has joined the team. He's like the only old grandpa griffon we see in the show who knows many things about Griffonstone before the treasure disappear.

Agreed. It would help in some of the relations between the nations, and piss off the a-hole caste of nobles in Canterlot; thus giving us an interesting story to read.
I am really enjoying this story so far, it been very interesting to read since you started writing this.
Wow. This one was REALLY good. So much great info and character development here. I loved it.
Keep up the good work my good man
Yes! This is something everyone should read. 👏

Glad to hear. Thank you.

Thanks. Honestly, as far as reader traffic goes, this hasn't been my most popular story overall so that means a lot to hear. 😁
Oooooo a stag viper. That's so cool.
Gabriel can suck it, so what if the Prince wants to be friends with the common folk it will probably make him a better ruler in the end anyway.
Come to think of it, what clothing style would fit a Griffin?
9692534
There isn't much info on what they wear. The way they portray Griffonstone seems reminiscent of something like an English hamlet so ideally their dress may resemble an old English style. Personally, in my head, I kind of imagine the griffons having formal wear in the style and color sensibility of a place like Morocco. If you look up traditional Moroccan clothing you'll see what I mean.
It's so romantic
Not bad
A hexavirate, that was unexpected...
Sequel?
Huh... Very nice turnout there. Did not see it coming.
Also, Sequel?
Huh, this ended a bit sooner than I thought, but I still loved it very much though
I hope there's a sequel to this
Why did it finish early
Okay I love fanfic s where the main character is a griffon. And gilda my favorite griffon is in this one even.
I cant read it though...I got this far in and I just feel rushed.
"Hi I'm gwyn, I'm a prince, imma fix this place. Here is how. Oh hi griffons, accept me, accepted? Great? Princesses? Oh I'm in love already with one. "
....I feel like it's a list of events, and not a story...it feels..too fast. A. I'm here to fix things. B. I'm proving myself. C. Done.
It Needs more depth. More time between things.
On the other claw, it's a story where gilda gets some limelight, where she not a human. Not anthro. And just herself. which is rare! So kudos to you writer for that. I appreciate it...I just cant read the rest.

That's a very naive way of thinking. Gabriel known what he's talking about. There are very good reasons why royal shouldn't get too personally or emotionally attached with friends and those around them or it will cost them dearly if a opposing foreign power decides to use the people they're attached to against them in some way. Being a ruler of a country is always a risky political game.

But a Monarch that's Popular with the Common Folk is arguable better than one who sucks up to Nobles and Pretentious High Society Members because the one who listens to the Common Folk will more than likely be able to see what is wrong with the Common Folk and try to fix the problems.
That was the best story that I ever read. I'm giving you a trophy for finishing The Prince Of Griffonstone. Congratulations. 🏆
I'll be willing to read the sequel when you make it. Believe in your infinite potential. Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself.
Is it alright if I can edit your The Prince Of Griffinstone story?

No, I don't let others edit my work.
