When ponies get married they are mare and groom until "death do them part." When a griffin gives out its heart, it is for life: no refunds, no exchanges.
Unfortunately for Condor, rarely do we pick who we give our heart to. The heart knows what it wants. Sometimes what it wants is untouchable.

This story is inspired by the one shot Sacrifice for love untouchable written by Reflective Vagrant.
As such it is written with the authour's permission.
