A Gryphon's Banishment

In the Everfree Forest there walked a Gryphon flanked by a Dire wolf, he left the Gryphon Empire and has been wandering he found a Dire wolf pup that has been with him for three years. The Gryphon is not like normal Gryphons instead he is part of a race from a far northern province of the Empire, they are taller than thier southern cousins, they also have Falcon head and Panther bodyinstaed of an Eagal and Lion. The Gyphons of the north are not well known because they rarely leave the north and the southern Gryphons belive that they are Barbarines. But enough about that for that will come later as for him, he comes to the end of the forest and finds himself in an apple orchard. He shifted the wieght of his Dragon Bone Battleaxe and Dragon rib Great-bow and the great arrows around his waist and looked to his four legged compainon and they continued onwards. As they went they heard some noises from ahead a clearing curious he and the Dire wolf crouched behind an apple tree and saw a group of Gryphon bounty hunters harassing large group of mares.

"Are you sure you have not seen a Gryphon with a mark on his right arm." said the lead Gryphon.

"How many times do ah have to tell you we ain't seen no Gryphon with no mark on his arm. Now get off my families farm." awnsered the Orange mare, not satisfided with that awnser the Gryphons surrounded the Mares and saw three fillies with them and grabbed them, the red and orange mares were smacked away from a yellow red maned filly and a brown red maned filly , the white unicorn mare was pushed from a white unicorn filly and a cyan pegasus was knocked back from an orange purple maned filly.

As the fillies were held hostage two Gyphons started to search the barn, having enough of this The Gryphon and his Dire wolf stepped in the open and said, "I belive you are looking for me." all Gryphons looked at him and tossed the three fillies away and the four mares rushed and held them close. The bounty hunters pulled their weapons which consisted of sword, bows and maces.

"Well, well looks like we finally found what we our big score," The lead bounty hunter said, "You have big price on your head that could set all of us up for life. GET HIM LADS!"

They all rushed him and the Dire wolf jumped on the nearest Gryphon and ripped his throat out and went for the Gryphons with the bows. The Gryphon pulled his axe off his back and made quick work of a few, but got slashed across his chest and a arrow found it's mark in his shoulder after a few minutes eight Gryphons lay dead and one flying away, seeing this he pulled his bow and a arrow and drew it back. When he released the taunt bow it flew throught the air and struck the bounty hunter through the heart. After a few moment the weight of his injuries caught up to him and his vision went black and he fell unconscious.

Applejack and Macareina were just planning the apple family reunion with the help of thier friends when out of no wherea group of Gryphon bounty hunters come down and started asking about a Gryphon that has a with some sort of brand on his right forearm and claw. When they didn't like the awnser that Applejack gave they surrouded her and her friends, then they took Sweetie bell, Scootaloo, Babs and Applebloom. Then a giant Gryphon steps into the open with a Dire wolf they quickly took care of the bounty hunters but not before the Gryphon was wounded and fell unconsious and the Dire wolf has been trying to get him to wake up.

Fluttershy was the first to approach the Dire Wolf amd as it growled at her, she said "It's okay we aren't going to hurt you and your friend we want to help him is that okay with you." she reached out with a hand and the Dire Wolf let her pet it.

The others all got up and started to look over the Gryphon's injuries. After sometime Applejack sent the CMC to find Zicron and bring him back to the farm. Macareina and Applejack lifted the Gryphon up and took him in to the house and up the stairs to one of the guest bedrooms, where Fluttershy patched up the arrow wound in his shoulder and slowed down the bleeding from the wound on his chest. A few minutes later CMC came back with Zicron, and was about to put some healing salve on the Gryphon when the Dire wolf hopped up on the bed and growled at him. Zicron about to back away when Fluttershy said, "Now Jager, be good Zicron here is only trying to help your friend." Dire wolf then backed down and hopped off the bed and walked over to Fluttershy and sat down.

Zicron administered the healing salve and everyone went down to the living room and let the Gryphon rest for a while with the Dire wolf at the foot of his bed. While everypony sat in the room Applebloom, Babs, Scootaloo and Sweetie belle went to get dinner started while all the grown ups talk.

"I say we should call the guard to take that Gryphon away," said Rainbow Dash "I mean those bounty hunters were looking for him for some reason."

"Me and Macareina would have ta disagree with you on that one Dash," said Applejack " We can't turn him over to the guard after he saved the youngsters from those Gyphons at least not until we hear his side of the story at least."

"Okay...fine we hear his story then we decide what to do with him"

They kept talking for awhile until the heard a crash come from the other room and went to see what it was, they saw that the axe that the Gryphon used had fallen over and his pack was open. Curious about what was in the pack they rummaged through it only to find a map of the Gryphon Empire and Equestria, as well as a talisman and on the back was a name 'Joranth Black-Beak' and on the front said, 'May you find a honorable death, motto of the 191st criminal wing brigade'.
