Forbidden love

It was a dark sunrise in Ponyville. Clouds lounged lazily in the sky, a purplish-pink color as the sun slowly rose. The ponies in the town milled to and fro with the things they were doing. A small sigh came from one of the royal guards, as he shifted his weight from one hoof to another. I wish i could do something other than stand guard everyday at this castle. The white pegasus resumed guarding, as he pushed some of his blue mane out of his face.  Suddenly, there was a flash of brown, followed by a crash. "I wonder what that was." So he set out to investigate. As he followed the path of wreckage, through a few downed trees and churned up soil, there was something sitting in a crater. He drew closer, cautious, and spear ready.... but the brown pile of apparently all feathers didn't move. Curious, he crept closer, until when he caught the face of the downed creature, he gave an astonished gasp.

I..i... I must help them! they could be hurt... He got closer, and found out it was a Griffion. I..it's a griffon! What's a griffon doing anyway in ponyville? :rainbowhuh:
