Chapter 13
The escape
21st of Gryflius, 997 Years After N.M.M.
“He’s over there! Don’t let him get away!” A group of Gryphons were running in the street of Altair, the capital of the Gryphon Empire. The moon was in the sky and it’s pale light was illuminating the city. The freezing, cold air of the mountain howled over their heads, and the fact that it’s the Gryflius month, the fountain that was in the main place had frozen.
“You two, you’ll go block the main entrance of the city, you are with me, we will catch this dirty rat.” Then the commander, followed by 4 other Gryphons, ran between the houses of the city, until one of the guards spotted a shadow climbing it way up the wall that encircled the city.
“Commander over there!” The guard yelled, he took out his crossbow and aimed at the shadow, but before he could shoot the shadow the commander slapped the weapon away and the bolt shot up into the sky.
“No! The Emperor wants him alive, we’ll use the net.” One of the Gryphons took out another crossbow, but this one instead of a bolt, there was a small net attached to the bolt.
“Don’t miss him, I want to finish this as soon possible, my wife is waiting after me.” The Gryphon laughed and shot.
“Don’t worry commander, I never miss my shot.” he said with a smirk. The net flew across the sky, and like the Gryphon had said, it got the shadow on the wall. When the commander and his group finally reached the base of the wall, they saw the shadow trying to get off the net of him.
“So, you tried to run away from your father again, huh Onyx? Maybe next time, you’ll finally able to at least reach the gate of the city.” They all laughed at the little joke, Onyx who’s on the ground in the net, spat on the face of commander.
“He is not my father. He’s just a tyrant that keeps me here for his own purpose.” The commander wiped his face of spit and punched the ex-prince of Equestria. The soldiers then picked him up and escorted him back to his room, but before they could move him, the Gryphon approached Onyx and whispered in his ear.
“If it was me and not the Emperor, I would cut your little arms off and let you bleed to death and then throw your body off this mountain and watch it crash at the base of the mountain. You’re lucky that the Emperor still thinks he can make you one of us.” Onyx was not listening to him, and spat in the Gryphons face once again, which the commander answered back by hitting the head of Onyx with the base of his crossbow. Onyx’s vision started to dissipate from the beatings he was taking and he fell unconscious

17th of Heart Warming, 987 Years After N.M.M., 3 months after Onyx had left Canterlot
.
Three months, it’s been three months since Onyx had seen his mother or his friends. Yes he was writing letters to Celestia and Twilight, but now Hearth’s Warming Eve is coming in one week and he wants to go see them, and this is why he was in the throne room, waiting for the Emperor to meet him.
“Onyx... Ha, ha, ha, ha, what are you doing here, I heard that you wanted to ask me something... So ask me.” The Gryphon Emperor said with a deep voice, Onyx rose up from his seat and bowed to him, like the emperor wanted.
“Yes, I was wondering if I could go see my mother this week, it will be Hearth’s Warming Eve and I would like to see her for the occasion.” The Gryphon immediately lost his smile, and his piercing look fell on Onyx.
“I already told you, you can’t return to Canterlot, your not ready yet, a-and it’s too dangerous.”
“But... but I have done all that you have wanted since I’ve been here. I given my best on every task you ask me to achieve, and I never whine about it, even when it was hard, please Mister Gryffin, just this once.” The Emperor, frustrated by the fact that Onyx is still arguing with him decided to punish him.
“So you really want to go see your dear mom if I understand... right?” Onyx thought the Emperor had changed his mind because he was smiling.
“Yes, and I promise to come back after.”
“Good... but before, we should send a letter to your mom right away, this way she could come here and take you with her... Come back here with your things and bring all your scrolls, we want this letter to be perfect. I will wait here to help you with it.”
Onyx quickly ran to his room, and took his backpack that Cadance had given him before he came here, inside his backpack he had all his stuff that he had written to his mother and all the letters he’d got from her and Twilight. When he finally returned to the throne room, the emperor was waiting for him beside the fireplace, where a new fire was made.
“Come here, it’s always better to write besides a good fire, it helps to clear the mind.” he said showing a little table and a seat near him. Onyx put his backpack on the table and took a seat.
“Did you bring all your stuff? It would be a shame if you need to return to your room and leave this comfortable spot, right?” Onyx nodded and tried to take his backpack but before he could reach it, the Emperor swiftly took it from him, then he held it above the fire.
“Hey! What are you doing!? It will catch on fire if you do that!” Onyx said, trying to take it back but the Gryphon only pushed him away.
“Listen to me Onyx, I will teach you a new thing called ‘taking something hostage’ you see I don’t want you to leave my city and you, you don’t want your precious bag to go in this fire right?” Onyx only nodded, tears falling down from his eyes.
“Good, so the principle of taking something hostage is to make a deal, if you stay in this castle and don’t ask again to leave this castle, I will not let your bag fall in this fire... Do you understand?”
“YES! Yes I understand. Please give it back... Please mister Gryffin, I won’t ask you to go out again.” Onyx was in tears, and pleading with the Gryphon to give him his backpack, he felt his stomach knot up when he saw the backpack starting to get scorch marks.
“Good, good... You see it’s not hard to understand... Oh, and one last thing... Never trust your opponent.” Then he dropped the backpack in the fire.
“NOOOOO!!” Onyx tried to get it out of the fire, but the Gryphon blocked him.
Once Celestial finds out about this, he is going to get it bad.
Hmmm I imagine that Onyx is going to have some very not nice things to say to Celestia for sending him to the Griffins I know I'd certainly be angry at bewing left with those assholes.
im sticking with this story no matter what. and why would blackwing ask you to changer it. his character is a human turned gryphon thats called griffin. your character is a gryphon called grphon thats always been a gryphon. the names are completely different.
Ah nothing like losing the things you hold dear to toughen you up. Also i fear for Gryffin's life once Onyx can fight.
Wonder what fired griffin tastes like... nah by the time Celestia get through with him he would be charcoal
woah. shit just got real.
Ok, now I want to unload an entire Thompson SMG Drum into that bastard gryphon...

Please till me he pays for this, please! I don't care if the next 3 chapters feature this bastard's tyranny, if you tell me he suffers for it I can bide until his pain. Just tell me he pays!
Next leason: Man up and don't take shit from nopony or gryphon in this case.

I don't think him being mad at Celestia, the Griffin probably tell him the true, at some point, about the plan and everything they have done, so he will become more aggressive and cold. But its looks like he still hold his humanity and actually is backfire them.
Wait aren't Onyx and Twilight still like 5 years old if he's only been there for 3 months? Why is it 997 years after Nightmare Moon, is Twilight going to be 8 years old when she goes to Ponyville?
He is 17 years old now?
Silver I think you make a mistake with the dates. Its said 997 but you tell that is has being 3 months and is clearly a flash back so is should said 987 to avoid confusion. Its has being 10 years or 4 or 5 mounts? I confused
The king was kind of a moron, destroying his bargain chip, they clearly will not allow him to send letters or send fake ones. So when the letters stop their flow Celestia clearly see something is fishy, I don't see why she didn't notice for 10 years. Also, he is just constructing his own grave. Teach him someone anger AND how to fight will only lead to his own death. Is just suicided.
I hoped Onyx make a void not to kill, so he can save his humanity…but make sure the King NEVER move again, or if he fill compassion, just never be able to fly.
Hey Onyx, an idea: Some ropes, morphine, a iron stick expose fire and some garden scissor expose in fire too. That will make the message clear
P.S: the next chapter will come out tomorrow
2064446 ever had bear it tastes the same
2064519
iin the chapter "i'm so sorry" Onyx have 7 and twi 5. In this chapter inthe first part Onyx have 17 and twi 15 in the flashback onyx have 7 and twi 5 and finally when she will go to ponyville Onyx will have 20 and twi 18
2064568
No never had bear... let me guess it tastes like chicken.
2064577 no those are two completly diffirent tastes
2064588
Ah... well now the joke is done, with Mythbusters proving the saying is wrong... never had bear and the only mythical animal I can get meat for is an unicorn. Don't think the Emperor would be good eats though, problem full of parasites and fat.
I hate what's happening to Onyx, but while some people's stories don't have the greatest beginning's it doesn't make them who they are. Onyx will make it to the other side of this.
Plus, I want to see Onyx and Celestia kill that bucking son of a bitch
nahhh i am out of here saw that to often cireo
I know its still a ways off but when Onyx has to return home to Earth will it be because Celly found our Universe or because another human pops up? If its a human it would be cool if he popped up in the Griffin capitol, fucked up their shit and proceeds to rescue Onyx.
2064760
only one hint
same way as the chapter one
2064803His father or mother possibly? Or another dead baby?
I hoped this tyrant will not make Onyx hate the griffons, there are good griffons too and one of Onyx friend was a griffon. By the way, base on the chapter name I assume this is like two parts and the next chapter will pick up when "fell" unconscious and then escape for real, correct? Because I will love if he return home 3 years before Nightmare, that way he can catch up with Celestia.
P.S: Did Nightmare will do something to the griffons as soon she find up, what have they have done to him? I imagine she can related, with her being a prisioner herself
Kill the Gryphon, off with its head.
fuck dude. this made me MAD AND SAD....
2064861
i say only one hint sorry
I really hope the griffin emperor gets what coming to him.
How old is onyx again in this chapter
Hmm...wait......Gryphon characters....................hm..
I bothers me on how you don't tell the readers exactly what the Emperor is planning to do with Onyx, unless you have a particularly good reason for us not knowing for now.
2064588well spam tastes like chicken so I wouldn't put it past anything that I haven't tried before
2059201
I have to agree, sure we didn't all like the conflict but its what builds a story. If there is no plot and no conflict, then its just boring, that's part of the reason we like FIM in the first place. It has character development, plot, conflict, and depth. So I must say Mister Pure that I am disappointed to have a fellow brony such as you. And maybe instead of unfaving the story you might stop being a JACKASS and read on to see how this new development effects our plot and character. And SECONDLY I must make a point to you All that our delightful author's first language is not English so get off him about his grammar, it is not easy to learn and properly use a new language especially with one such as written English. So as someone who has enjoyed this story for the hard work that has been put into it, I must say GTBO(!) if you plan on downing on Silver_Fang.

Just had to get that off my chest.

That son of a bitch...
Wow...douche move Gryffin bro...douche move. I say he needs to die.
That asshole... I like Griffin the gryphon way better. I hope he dies or at least Onyx escapes later.
Onyx. Kill him. Kill him with the same fire that killed your backpack... NOW!
still love it don't you stop
...gimmie five minutes and a magnum.
I hope that gryphon dies a fiery painful death
I'm still waiting for the point of actually sending him to the Griffon kingdom. Seeing as this seems that all it's going to do is make a war start. There is no hints that He's actually learned to fight at all seeing as he can't even escape a patrol.
wow amazing writing, the gryphon make me think of blueblood...
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GRYFFINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN I WILL MURDER YOUR EMPIRE TWILIGHT DOES NOT APPROVE GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
seriously, this story is making everyone like and hate at the same time!
this is awesome!
Altair...*immediately thinks of Acre on Assassin's Creed 1*
Celestia should be suspicious for two reasons:
1) WHERE THE EFF IS RAYNOR!?!
2) I don't think Onyx would just stop writing letters.
2064760 I dont think he will return home, because he never was born,he died before. And his home is Equestria now.
Wow, gyphons are dicks
