Bandit Blue


T

A griffon who found himself as a prisoner of Fate, tried to escape from it but ended up in the midst of a war between Equestria and the Griffon Kingdom. In this war, he chose to save an injured enemy soldier, putting his own life at risk and becoming a prisoner of Equestria.

A prisoner of Fate, a War, a Country, and possibly of other cosmic forces. He might never be able to escape them all. His actions and the action of the ones he saved, will echo through time and decide who will ultimately be his Warden.

This story happens before Luna's banishment.

Ok, I like the start. You got me hooked. :rainbowdetermined2:

I think it was a semi-shaky start, but that's mostly because of how the guards reacted.

What was Moonflower even doing over there during wartime though?

This is supposed to be an early war in Equestria's history so the guards behavior is not what you would expect from a guard today.

As for Moonflower, she was a soldier fighting on the battlefield.

You really set the stage really well, I look forward to the next chapter.

Thank you, that means a lot!

GASP!!!!

Story with Griffon?

Story with Griffon as main character!?

*starts warbling and hopping around happily*

Griffons deserve more love! XD

I'm writing another fic with a griffon protagonist but it has a much lighter tone, here it is in case you wanna check out:

TCommunity Work
A "criminal" Griffon has community hours to serve, and he's going to serve these hours on Equestria's biggest animal sanctuary.

I've been a little scared of continuing this story because people seemed to like it and I don't want to disappoint them. I changed the ideia I initially had for it and now I'm not sure which way is the better way to proceed. I'll try to figure it out soon and get it up and running. Thanks a lot for the interest though, it makes me happy!

p.s. I'm really enjoying your story "Lovely Little Letters", great job!

10786438
EEEEEEE thank youuuu!!!

whatever you write, I'll read it!

specially if there are griffons!!!

Woah
I am so intrigued
and very very very much excited to read more!
I seriously hope this isn't one of those stories that ends up left to rot

10789365
I'm very happy you like it! :yay:

I seriously hope this isn't one of those stories that ends up left to rot

To be honest, me too. :rainbowlaugh:

I'll try to finish it, but I must say it probably won't be a long story with several chapters. I'm not great at "novelization" so I'll try to keep it as short as I can, and try to finish it, even thought it make take a while from one chapter to another sometimes. Good news is I will post a new chapter tomorrow or so, I hope you enjoy it as well. ^^

10789481
I definitely will!

amazing story is like you to work on it till it is complete.

Ps loved the story

Pretty sure the guy was suffering mentally there

I did not expect this turn of events, I wonder what happens next. Keep up the good work.

The plot thickens :pinkiecrazy:

"I didn’t lose a limb, I lost an appendage at best.”

Um...that's technically the same thing, Moonflower. :unsuresweetie:

“My real name is Grover...” He said, still gazing towards the table, avoiding eye contact.

“Prince Grover.” Celestia added.


Oh, not for that much longer though... :trixieshiftleft:

“So I can feed you intelligence for you to massacre my kind and win the war? Even if I would agree to that, they’d never let me get my hands on any sensitive information."

For precisely that same reason, too--C'mon, Celly, you're smarter than that. Surely you knew that little plan was a longshot and a half, and that's being generous.

"And before you protest, no, we do not intend to control or manipulate you in any way"

But you kind of already are trying to manipulate him, by trying to nudge him into doing this in the first place. Sure, you're being sneaky about it, making it like it will only ever be his choice in the end...but that's a lie. You're still trying to guilt-trip him into doing it. And in the end, he's not wrong to suspect you for an ulterior motive--it's clear he's not been freed so much out of the goodness of your heart but rather because you have use for him too important to pass up. True, you probably would've freed him eventually anyway if that wasn't the case, but with much less fanfare and probably many more restrictions and careful observation than this feast, personal visit, and all-around "let's play nice" approach to try and win his favor.

In other words, you can try and disguise it however you want, Celestia...but a bribe's still a bribe. And you're using it to try and get him to play your game for you, one he clearly just wants out of, not dragged in deeper.

And Leone's right to be skeptical of the plan anyway, for I don't doubt his claims about his lack of standing among the griffons. He doesn't have the sort of sway you're clearly banking on him having, so it's still very much a longshot and a half.

I mean, I know he's going to do it anyway--the story practically demands it--but let's not go around pretending like you saying that actually makes it true.

“I… I don’t see that ending well for me. Do I have a choice?”

“Well, you do but, none end up well for you, as you say."

So...no, then.

Really sweetening the deal here, Celly. [/sarcasm] :ajbemused:

“That would depend on their actions. Unfortunately, the further they resist your claim as the new king, the stronger we would have to retaliate."

Oh, Celly, Celly, Celly, Celly--rule number one about taking control of a throne by force: leave no blood heirs to said throne alive to potentially contest it. I know that sounds morbid, but never in the history of ever has NOT doing that ended well for anybody.

"So I’ll hope you are the benevolent ruler Moonflower says you are and that you have the best interests for my kind as well as yours.”

I'm sure she does, but that doesn't change how shady and underhanded it all is regardless, so I'm still not exactly thrilled about that.

But, regardless...you're going to have to end up king at some point anyway, Grover, you ol' charmer, you. :trixieshiftright:

He's in a "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation, right? :twilightsheepish:

I love your comment and all the points you brought up, I want to address all of them but... we'll talk about it after I finish it. :raritywink:

I'd say there's 1 or 2 chapters left, so it shouldn't take too long.

10718247
What about birb pony stories? :duck:

10791256
Gotta love a thick plot

10791513
i mean yes!

buuuuut cat birrrbs

“That would depend on their actions. Unfortunately, the further they resist your claim as the new king, the stronger we would have to retaliate. We also cannot allow any of them to jeopardize your rule, to be blunt, the best outcome for them would be exile, but most likely incarceration. We think your kind would appreciate the change in management, even if it’s supported by ponies, your father has been less than kind or considerate towards then, as did his father before then.”

Towards them

The griffons saluted by clenching their right claw into a fist, bringing it to their chests and quickly throwing it forward

What is this, the mirror universe? :rainbowlaugh:

“I don’t know where it came from, but it didn’t come with instructions. Sometimes they bring a unicorn pony in and try to use it on them. We learned that the artifact works, but it has proven fatal in many disturbing ways for both griffons who used it and ponies who it was used upon.

Well, all the more reason to get rid of the darn thing, then.

“‘For now’, huh? Whose life are you trying to save this time, little Grover?”

Well, everybody's, technically, but let's not get into that right now. :trixieshiftright:

10797475

What is this, the mirror universe? :rainbowlaugh:

This is so cool, I swear I've never seen this before. I just tried to think of a cool but different way to salute :rainbowkiss:

Well, all the more reason to get rid of the darn thing, then.

Well, if they did...
This is a little spoiler, are you sure you wanna see it?

We need moooore

I had to take a break cause of work and that I'm moving to another place/state, but I have the story outline completed and I'll post a new chapter soon!

Also, thanks for the support! I'm really glad you're enjoying the story ^^

Inquires with a most curious warble....

Any chance of an update?

10716810
Sorry for the late reply, thank you for reading my fic :heart:

Yes, life has been hectic for a while now, but I do have an ending in mind that I want to write. I don't know when but hopefully I'll get to it sooner than later.
