Negotiations

"We are getting tired of your excuses Celestia." said the Griffon ambassador.

Celestia looked around her self. The negotiation room was dimly lit chamber, with sound proof walls to ensure that nopony would be distracted during the conversation.

Celestia hated to admit that they where right, but they were. The two nations had always greatly disagreed with each other, but in the past couple of years, they had begun trading resources with each other in hopes they could finally get along. The Griffon's would trade the ponies oil from there oil rich homeland, in change for food and water, as there country was dry and sandy, making it nearly impossible to grow food. Unfortunately though, the princesses had not sent any supply's to the Griffon's for over two months now, as the there had been a terrible dry season this summer, leaving the supply crops without the necessary amount of water to grow.

Celestia looked down at a glass of water in front of her. "Such a substance water is. It's the life force of every living being on this planet. It's purity is unmatched to any other in the entire univer....." she began.

The rooms door slammed open, welcoming a new griffon to the room. The griffon kings son, Razorbeak.

Celestia groaned at his arrival, for the young griffon prince had an attitude to match that of an Ursa Major. His feathers were a charcoal black colour with red tips. His eyes were a nice sky blue, only to be ruined by his always bloodshot eyes and dark bags. Out of all the flaws the prince had, there was one that Celestia feared the most about him, his utter hatred of ponies. She had heard rumors that Razorbeak had recently captured a group of pony assassins, brutally torturing them until they lost all sanity, only then choosing to end there lives, but that was only a rumor being spread by some griffon guards... hopefully.

"SO! has the pretty. pony. princess given a reason for the lack of supply's yet ambassodor?" the griffon prince asked, rudely interrupting the solar princess.

"No Prince Razorbeak, she is merely making excuses, again." the ambassador stated matter a factly.

Princess Celestia was about to give her reasons to why the supply's had not been delivered yet, only to be yet again interrupted by Razorbeak. He was chuckling to himself while clapping his talons together, his eyes tightly closed and a smile plastered on his face. He opened his eyes and began to walk towards Celestia, still chuckling and clapping.

"You know princess, that's funny, that's really Fucking funny. It's funny that we give you our Fucking oil, but you give us fucking EXCUSES! It's really funny how we give and give and give, and you take and take and fucking take." the prince said menacingly as he sat beside the princess, making her very uncomfortable.

"Prince Razorbeak, I understand your anger but..." Celestia began.

"Do you know what I find the funniest out of all of this though princess?" Razorbeak asked with an expression of disgust " What I find the funniest out of ALL of this, is the fact that my father, the fucking KING of my land, is giving you more time."

The princess of the sun looked at the prince with a shocked expression "He..... more time." she said, hoping her tone of voice didn't reveal her relief.

Razorbeak took the princesses water and drank it all in one gulp, then proceeded to burp in her face, sending a noxious smell of sulfur and rotting tuna in her nostrils. Celestia did her best not to vomit at the stench of the griffons breath, she merely scrunched her face and looked down at the table.

The prince placed the cup gently on the table and nodded "YEAH, he says that 'our trading of oil for food is the best thing we can do for our kingdom'. To me though, it's just a bunch of bullshit. The fact that he's giving you two more months when your two months overdue on your shipment. So, while you get our oil to keep your machines running, while we starve to death but HEY, if that's what the king wants that's what he wants!" Razorbeak stood up and walked towards the door "Come ambassador, I'm done talking to this mare." he stated.

The ambassador gathered some stray papers on the table and made his way over to the prince.

"Celestia..." Razorbeak said as he looked stared at the princess, raisng two fingers as he did so "Two months..... or else." he said with the utmost serious tone of voice befor closing the door, leaving Celestia alone in the dark room.

What Razorbeak had said befor he left had shook Celestia 'or else'. What did that mean? Celestia sighed as she felt a headache coming on. She stood up and trotted out of the room and headed to her royal chambers. When she reached her room, Celestia removed her crown and placed it on her bed with her magic. She then walked out to her balcony to look at the courtyard, unfortunately noticing Razorbeak and the rest of the griffons making there way towards a large air barge that had brought them to Canterlot. As all the griffons got on the barge, Celestia noticed one of them staring up at her, it was Razorbeak. This made the princess nervous, making her want to go back inside, but what the griffon prince did next was unexpected, he smiled. This smile however was not a friendly one. Razorbeak raised his right arm, extending two fingers, nodding while he did so. This sent a shiver down the princesses spine and she slowly began to walk back inside her chambers. She closed her balconies glass door, and then laid on her bed, and tried to get some sleep.

"I hope your having more luck than I'am sister." she said as she began to drift to sleep.
