We all make choices. Decisions that are often thrust upon us by circumstance more often than personal desire. For Orion, his choices will lead him through the veil of our world and into the wonder of another.

FEAR NOT, CITIZEN! I've just been delayed, my dude.
Awesome! This chapter was most definitely worth the wait.
We all know that Orion is going to return to Equestria regardless of what happens with Scream. However between this and the last chapter. I can't help but think that Orion actually seems more at home among the griffons than he ever has among the ponies.
Also, With the reaction Orion had to seeing Scream in that dress. (the "New Fetish Unlocked" line had me dying btw) It seems like he's thinking of reconsidering his stance on romance. So with that in mind, is there any chance at all of you possibly doing a one shot or a spin-off story where he chooses to stay with Scream and help her become queen?
Stop right there criminal scum! You have violated the law!
Not sure if I prefer the old Griffonia ark or this one. They both are good in their own ways. This one is fresh and new though so its fun to read. I think I like this one better as long as he doesn't get stupidly kidnapped by dogs like in the old version.
Well this comment may not have a lot of sustenance, I just want to say your story is a joy to read and well it probably won't happen I think it would be funny as heck to see how Twilight and Screaming would react to seeing each other flirting with Orion.
I love Orion, but god if this moment, for one even just an instant, makes me want to strangle him. I know he has his own good reasons for wanting to not get into a relationship, and I certainly agree with them...
...But I still hate seeing Scream's heart get broken. She deserves better than that.

Wasn't expecting it tonight, thanks by the by. But if you ever need a writing vacation I understand. Especially with the size of each chapter, I imagine it takes significant effort and is fairly draining.
This was a great chapter! We see for the first time how Orion starts to reevaluate his options about a lot of important stuff *wink* *wink*.
However I did notice that the way that you ended the chapter makes me think that in the next one, things aren't going to be great for Orion.
One with the Griffin nobility trying to be as bad to him as the Canterlotian one, Screaming revealing, most likely, her feelings for him, Lady Hardwing doing her own shenanigans with him & of course Rosebreast trying to be bitch at him & Scream for her own benefit, while also unknown to him, Shining & the guards trying to find him for a return to Equestria, with or without his consent.
Can't wait for next chapter!
Also,
Comment!

I mean, it makes sense, doesn't it.
The griffons in this story don't give him bull crap for eating meat & most are trying to, at least, tolerate his existence.
Don't forget, that even in little things, you can make people shape their opinions & views of you.
Bloody hell I miss this. Unlike you I have been deprived of inspiration but I have some ideas for what to write next.
Seriously, your story keeps me tethered to Fimfiction at the moment. It's been hell at the homefront.
Other than that, I am looking forward to the political clout that Orion befalls upon him, and what his interest fall upon Griffornia. That and how it might aspire to his new rivals might use this to talk to the Church of Sol, I can see the unanswered question on the building case against him in his upcoming trial. There are consequences to be made here Orion, and Celestia will not like what you've done.
The story is already there but this new version makes me very interested in how Celestia thinks of Orion at the end of the story now...
Keep up the good work Morgan, and congrats on the job, and good luck with everything in between!

It won't last!
Orion & another person will eventually be together!
Like Orion and Scream!
Or Orion and Twilight!
Or Orion and Lazy Rain!
Or Orion and Rarity!
Or Orion with Orion!
Dammit Orion!
You should be with Orion!
(As you can see NNN has been pretty good for me & my mental stage)
COMMENT UNLOCKED
Here is a comment.
This was a really exciting chapter.
Good chapter, much enjoyed as always
I both love and hate (not by a lot) how much you
blueball usleave us wanting more with every cliffhanger? you do with each new chapter you upload.Great chapter! I look forward to seeing how Orion handles this situation and what other heaps of trouble he’s going to get himself into!
I love the political intrigue. It's almost on the level of what you'd see in the level of the Lansraad houses in Dune. It also reminds me of the old Ferengi saying, "The broader the smile, the sharper the knife."

Delayed? Oh well, late birthday gift is better than no birthday gift.
Is my reading comprehension failing, or...?

I don't get entirely the position of Equestria regarding griffons.
On one hand, they are regarded as brutes and bloodthirsty conquerors.
On the other, we have seen several gryphon individuals making a living in Equestria. Screaming herself was allowed in Orion's orphanage, surrounded by foals and without suffering much discrimination. And there was the mention of Gilda in the exchange program with Rainbow.
And of course, there is Celestia. There is evidence she has been crippling Griffonia and contributing to the current starvation crisis. Does Sunbutt want to keep them perpetually impoverished, never to represent a threat to Equestria? Or does she want to see the nation fall? It would be easy to take over and turning the territory into a colony o protectorate while disguising the operation as an act of mercy.

Without getting into too much foreshadowing:
The current view of Equestrians as a whole, is a stance of non-interference. Several times, the Griffonian people have been the aggressor in most skirmishes, including the brief and embarrassing invasion of Manehattan.
Those griffons who do live amongst pony society are heavily regulated by local governments. Many are on visas that must be renewed yearly, and go through an examination process in which agents of the Throne poke and prod into every aspect of their lives with almost pathological aggression.
As far as Celestia is involved, everything she has done had been meant as a limiter on the nation. it's cruel in many ways, but it ensures that future generations of the Bloodbeak Family Line, don't get up to mischief and cause more problems for the Equestrians.
Of course there are a few other reasons, but I will not be going into them at this time.

No, it's fine. I'm just a dumbass.
Thank you for creating this story and chapter!
Personally, I do not mind increased times between uploads. I could start reading this quite easily, and I you have created enough content in one chapter to occupy me for a while.
As long as it is certain that the story will be completed some day, I am content.
I wish you great success with your job (I think that was the reason for longer times. Sorry, I don't keep up and memorize the personal matters of authors) and a long and furfilling life!
Augh this is so good man i dont give a shit about equestria anymore gimme a griffonia story 😭
Muahhahahahhahhahaha! (I’m sure Morgan has come to dread my comments because I ask prodding questions :P)
Are any of the Griffins going to mention that Orion is technically a minor by Pony (and maybe Griffin) standards? I know they probably don’t think about it because he is larger/taller/stronger than all of them, but it seems like an easy and low blow for Grace’s political enemies to land since they can accuse her of taking advantage of a naive young foreigner. The only way for Orion to protect Grace from that is if he proves he’s not young and naive, but the only way I can imagine him doing that is by being overly aggressive/assertive to the point of rudeness, which would itself be a faux pa to Grace’s detriment.
Personally, I think Orion is right to avoid getting into a relationship with Scream. Though his outward reasons are mainly personal, some part of him has got to realize that Grace is probably going to be the one on the throne in the end. (When the current son of the king gets assassinated by political infighting.) Her position as Queen wouldn’t be sustainable if she were seen as married to/influenced by a pony, even one such as Orion. Griffonia needs someone like her to take over rule once Fairheart is gone, otherwise there will be just more war, blood and death.
Of course it begs the question as to why Orion just doesn’t point these issues out to her, and ask her to tone down her intentions because she is laying it on darn thick at this rate. After getting her to back off for some time, it might be easier for him to explain that he doesn’t feel the same way.
Ah yes a good read
Does Orion have another catbird admirer?
Great story!! I'm eagerly awaiting what happens next.
Might be a bit late, but one thing about enchanting has me curious. I think at one point it was mentioned that enchanting is akin to coding, so could you make a "Trojan Horse" enchantment?
Like, place empty runes to detonate something, but not power it, so that when someone interacts with it, their magic inadvertently powers the runes and sets off the enchantment? Like, how one would set off a virus on a computer by downloading something?

bro dont let this guy near any form of explosive
11428266
Wouldn't that just be a bomb? Artifacts are in stand-by mode until interacted with. What you're describing sounds like an artifact that's just designed to explode when activated.
Or if you're talking about an enchantment to remotely detonate a linked object somewhere else, wouldn't it just be a detonator?
Discord is gonna love you
