POV to Luna

We stared into the empty room of the Hunter that was once in under interrogation of our guards. Only thing that was in the room was a chair, cut rope, and outdrawn pony where one of the interrogators were knocked out. The news of the Hunter escape had already spread from one of our subjects, their curiosity had already gotten the better of them and made them seek out their curious thoughts. We only been notified by one of the interrogators when she went back to check on her fellow interrogator, but when she saw him on the floor unconscious she galloped out of their and told the nearby guards of what she saw then we were notified.

The Hunter had already ran away from Ponyville to another settlement, but now we don't even know where he went. A creature that burnt down the town hall, beaten up four guards near death, and now knocked out an interrogator. Our sister will not like to hear of our failure in this mission, we should have paid more attention to the Hunter than speaking with the mayor of rebuilding the town hall.

“Princess Luna, we could not find any trace of the Hunter, but a royal guard in the hospital wishes to speak with you.” A guard notified us then saluted before returning to his ranks. We trotted to the hospital to hear what one of the survivors from the Hunter attack has to report to us, whoever the guard is they may know what happened to them.

We arrived at the entrance hospital, less than a minute, and entered inside to a stallion at the front desk. He was started at first of our appearance, but soon relaxed of knowing that it was us that trotted up to his desk.

“We wish to speak to one of the guards that regain consciousness.” We said, the stallion nodded and picked up a clipboard, with papers, in his teeth and dropped it in front of us. Our magic soon engulfed the clipboard as we read through it.

The guard that woken up was on the second floor room thirty to the far left hall. We trotted off to the room upstairs of a word for the guards.

POV to Cazador

The hot heat from a volcano made me sweat as we continued traveling away from Ponyville to Shoe Horse port. It was necessary to travel through the forest to this volcano, no creature would really go near a volcano or live by one, meaning no intelligent life around. Wyndbain and I had been traveling around for hours from midnight to noon, ours bodies haven't have any rest from yesterday morning soon we would fall asleep without ourselves knowing.

“We must find a cave Wyndbain,” I said before I fell to my knees.” Sleeping outside with smoke will not be a wise choice. My body was slowly going numb from the lack of sleep.

Cazador, do you think a cave would be on the side of the volcano or would it be closer to the ground?’ Wyndbain asked, he made my mind run for a bit before it found a solution. I forced myself up to my feet and took a quick search for a cave entrance.

My eyes scan the only clear view I have of the volcano base, a small black hole in the side of the volcano was either a cave entrance or a giant mole hole. Faith always works in strange ways and even in those ways can be a living hell. I snapped my fingers to catch Wyndbain's attention before walking to the base of the volcano.

Soon after Wyndbain followed me to the base of the volcano. Our stumbling soon changed to dragging as we finally made it to the hole, turns out it was a cave. I was glad that we finally have a place to rest a bit before we start travel again to the east. When we entered in the cave there were no animals in it, but what should we expect from the animals they can sense danger before a human could know.

Sleep soon took a hold of me and before I knew it my eyes were already closed.

“Stop it!” A feminine voice shouted, it woke me up from my slumber. I heard people laughing outside of the cave, my mind began to wake up from my sleep.

“Come on, it’s mating season I thought you dragoness were in heat.” A male said with venom in the end. I pushed myself up to my knees and stretched out my arms, after that I got to my feet. My body wasn't fully awake for any quick movement, but it was no longer numb.

“Yeah, it's that time of the season again when every dragoness are in heat.” Another male voice said, except his voice was pitched. My mind was now fully awake, giving me back the ability to think, I walked out the cave and took a look around the area. Four colored dragons were in a clearing by a tree, the three were males from the color green, yellow, and cyan, the other one was a female with black scales. I couldn't see the details thanks to my blurred vision, but seeing the figures is better than not seeing them.

Great dragon territory. ’ I shook my head and walked over to the four dragons, I wasn't a fan of dragons since they're not very common in my world. Caution can only be taken when I speak to one of them. Before one of them even had the chance to speak to one another, I placed a hand on the green one and spun him around to face me.

“The lady said to stop and you should listen before you end up dead.” I threatened the dragon by pulling out my revolver and aiming it at him, my elbow rested by my hip as the gun was stilled pointed at it or him. The green one laughed his own ass off as the others laugh with him, except the black one.

“With that little thi-” I aimed lower and pulled the trigger, the sounded off with a bang and a cry of pain from the dragon. The green blur fell to his left holding his right leg as he cried in pain. I aimed my revolver over at the cyan one and spoke in a cold tone.

“Pick him up,” The cyan one nodded and picked up his green friend by the arm, the yellow one, to my right, helped him and flew off in haste. I didn't shoot them down, no I let them live to see another day. The black deaconess, in what dragon calls female, was in front of me, her back against the tree as she looked at me.” Go home.”

I turned around and walked back to the cave, those dragons would bring more to stop me. My body was fully awake, but aching from the weights of the guns on my back. There’s no telling of what the dragoness would do so leaving as soon as possible before more comes.

Sound of footsteps in the direction of the dragoness caused me to spin around and aimed my gun at her. The dragoness was no longer at the tree, but in front of the barrel of my gun. I have to emit the dragoness has some courage to sneak up behind, she probably thinks of me as a savior or a demon.

“Go home.”

“No.” I was surprised to hear her say that in front of a hunter pointing a loaded revolver between her eyes, most people would just obey and leave for their life, but she’s different and doesn't know what a gun is. My blurred vision didn't allow me to see the eyes of this dragoness, I still can't tell what she looks.

“Go home or you’ll be shot.” I threaten her against and aimed at where her heart might be at. Again she didn't obey me, she stood her ground and placed her hand or claw on the barrel before talking again.

“You would have done it.” The dragoness wasn't lying I would have pulled the trigger and killed her right where she stood, if I was fully corrupted I would have not care to kill an innocent. I lowered my revolver and let out a sigh of defeat before walking back inside the cave.

Not even a minute the dragoness began to following me to the cave. I started to not care anymore if she follows or leaves, Wyndbain and I have a place go and that is Shoe Horse port. When I entered the cave Wyndbain was already awake, he sat near the spot I once laid down. Soon Wyndbain gaze was on me then on the dragoness.

Why is there a dragon behind you?’ Wyndbain asked as he stared down the dragoness behind me.

She won't leave,’ I answered before speaking again.’ But that's not the problem we have, dragons coming here.’ Wyndbain nodded and walked over to my side, I checked the bag on his side and looked at the dragoness.

“Hey dragoness, if you're planning on following us then remember this I will not help.” I said in a cold tone before tightening the straps of the bag.

“Hey my name is Cynder not Dragoness! And I don't really expect you to help me.” Cynder said, she made it clear that she knew I won't help. After I tighten the straps, I stood up and walked out the cave with Wyndbain and Cynder. I may need to sleep more to regain my eyesight.

POV to Luna

We paced around thinking of what the guard has told us and what he sent to our sister, we still couldn't believe that a wanted griffon had been around our subjects for how many days. Sister may speak with the king in Griffon Stone of the wanted griffon. Our pacing was stopped by Tia opening the door.

“Luna,” Tia started, we went silent to hear our sister.” You tried your best to capture the Hunter in Ponyville sister, and even we all didn't wait for one of the guards awakes. I may have to send Twilight a letter of the misunderstanding of what she and her friends has seen.” Soon our sister walked past me to her chambers, we were surprised to see that our sister isn't mad at us.

We stared at the direction where Tia went and thought back when we heard the report from the guard.

two hours before

“But princess Luna, what I am saying is that the Hunter is not enemy of ours that we thought he was,” The guard said while he laid in the medical bed, while the nurse was checking him of any signs of memory lost. Sadly he didn't have any memory lost or mixed ones.” A griffon had laid down traps and we fell in them. I know what the griffon looked like before he beaten me up with his club.”

The guard looked at the nightstand by his bed and picked it up then shown us. To our surprise the guard description on the picture of the griffon that beaten them. We took the paper in our magic and teleported to our sister of this news.

When we teleported in the throne room Tia was sitting in her throne reading a scroll, not even a second later Tia looked over the scroll in her magic. We galloped to her and shown her the picture of the griffon, the guard told us about.

“Sister, thi-”

“I know Luna,” We were baffled, our sister already knew of what we were about to say.” Luna, I want you to take charge for a view days until the Griffon king and I talk about the wanted griffon.”

We nodded and exited out of the throne and paced around near the door, we needed to think of this entire event from last night and this morning.
