Nice chapters. I'm confused a bit about what's up with Equestria and if Mount Aris is in favor or against The Lion, but it's intriguing none the less.
It was nice seeing Gilda having to do so such a careful type of service and I think you handled it really well.
Nice work so far, keep it up!

Mount Aris is against both the Chancellor and The Lion. Gilda doesn't understand much yet, but the Chancellor has the accusations of coruption and The Lion has stuff Gilda doesn't understand yet. But the pony in the cafeteria implies that The Lion has some rethoric that displeases Queen Novo. This story takes place somewhere between season eight and nine, but is an alternate universe. Cities have local law enforcement in the form of local militias, Princess Celestia is kind of the 'high queen' of this confederation of nations (they all use Bits for currency, and that will be an important detail).
Part of the reason the news and conversations about the situation are there is meant to create an atmosphere of uncertainty and to place this story in the context of Piece of Parchment (though I prepared this one to be fully independent other than being part of the same world). There is something weird going on. There is one important detail is that the hospital's restaurant is well supplied and the general mood and work conditions are good, despite all the mess going on. More on that in the next chapter.
But Gilda isn't aware yet of all the details and I would spoil the story for you if I said more right now. It starts slow, but it picks up the pace next chapter.

That explains a lot, thanks! I might read your other story then, whatever is going on there seems interesting.
(The huge chapters make it a bit daunting to take on if I'm being honest but I might do it XD)
Also I loved the "It's her face on the coin" bit, until then I've never thought about it and it makes perfect sense. But I must say, aside from this "big picture" talk, I'm really enjoying Gilda's personal struggle. I'm curious to see how will her next encounter with the mayor's wife and son gonna be and if working on the hospital will make her more empathetic or more "pony like".
(Even though the perception of how a griffon should act is attached to their culture and that is another giant pickle on itself that circles back to the "Big Picture" talk XD)

Piece of Parchment grew into a monster and is still going. But at least the whole story is outlined and I know where it ends. I meant to make much smaller chapters, but then I realized that I was leaving out too much that I wanted in. That story is meant to anchor the alternate universe with its politics and technology, and it goes around the world, from Ponyville and the Crystal Empire to the the changeling home all the way to the northern griffonian cities. Not to mention the past. I wanted to inject a in-world mythology and a creation myth. It is incredibly fun to write with the 'pony nonsense' and the 'oh no! Princess Celestia lied to us!' with the serious stuff that is going on in the griffon lands.
It's great that you mention this, because 'griffon culture' is pivotal in the story. But a fair warning: Fólkvangr is marked 'adventure'. Gilda will be forced to leave. And she is not going the way you think she is. Surgical wounds are gory, but that is not the reason that tag is there. The same goes for the Dark tag, especially when Gilda starts delving into the past and finding out stuff about herself.

Thought so, first thing I did before starting to read was looking up it's namesake on google.
Looking forward to reading how you're gonna handle it. Not looking forward to the gore but I guess that's what I signed up for, so you do you.

Don't worry too much. It's not exagerated as Gilda's journey is the important part of the story.
Loved this chapter!
You've got some intriguing mysteries regarding the external affairs around Griffonstone. I like how the news media are just as incompetent in their journalism as the local authorities are in their business.
Seems like Chekhov has several guns loaded and ready to come into play once Gilda gets tossed into the middle of all the shit that's really happening!
Also, I'm willing to put money down that it wasn't Luna going in with Chrysalis, and it wasn't Cadance who was seen leaving the Candy Bordello....beyond that, I think I should pause and take a look at your other story before going further here...
Suspicious Kevin Lee is suspicious

Even f they intertwine, you don't need both to understand each. They are part of an overarching alternate universe and that is why they mention each other. Piece of Parchment goes around a lot and things that happen in it have an impact in what happens to Gilda, but if I say more I'll spoil the story for you. And if you want to read Piece of Parchment, I really shouldn't say more. It's enough that what Gilda is experiencing is a direct effect of the stuff going on in Piece of Parchment and both stories kinda tell different parts of the same story, as in, they're complementary. For example, the scene in chapter 4 is told from the other character's point of view. And the whole mess that led to that is shown.
I'm writing both at the same time because Fólkvangr is a spin-off and their endings can spoil one another. Honestly, I would recommend you read Folkvangr at least until chapter 12 before getting into Piece of Parchment.
About the media. It isn't the intention that they are incompetent. They don't know what is going on because Celestia is trying to keep a situation under control.
