Author's Note

50 messages I got for people telling me to bring this back. I'm working on another story but I guess I can work this one on the side. These are just simple short stories, not my best work. My other story I'm working on will be.

Sliver Feather

Date: September 2, 2016
Location: Griffonstone, War Claws Restaurant

Silver Feather was at War Claw's Restaurant getting impatient. He tapped his claw on the table. "Hurry up where are they at!" Finally, he heard some laughing. He saw his wife and his daughter laughing with as well as her suitor. "Took you three long enough to get her."

"Relax father we're here and let me introduce you to Metal Wing," Scarlet said. Scarlet was Silver Feather's daughter. Metal Wing was a Pegasus that had lost his wings and replaced them with metal ones. However, Silver Feather didn't like ponies. He believed Metal Wing wasn't good for his daughter Scarlet. His wife knew so that's why she talked him into inviting Metal Wing to a simple Griffon Feast. Hey Gilda, do you know what a Griffon Feast does

"Us gryphons when we are getting married, we do something called a Griffon Feast. This not only serves as a feeding purpose but it also brings the whole family together. Us gryphons really don't show much of our affection but during a Griffon Feast is another story."

Bringing the whole family together was the last things on Silver Feather's mind. He picked out the menu for this feast to drive his daughter's suitor away. The waitress came in to serve the first course. It was live shrimp. Ponies are not carnivores. However, the rest of the gryphons ate it so Metal Wing had to as well. Silver Feather was watching him like a gryphon. He chowed down. The shrimp wiggled its way down his throat. However, this feast was just getting started.

"Ah, this is my favorite.” Silver Feather said smiling evilly as he looked at what was on his plate. A slab of meat.

The family ate. Metal Wing was not going down that easy. He ate the meat just like it was nothing. He was going to finish this feast to the end. He ate everything Silver Feather asked for this feast. Then the last meal came for this feast.

The last thing to eat for this feast was live octopus. Metal Wing was about to cry uncle.

"You going to eat it?" Silver Feather asked smiling evilly at Metal Wing.

"Dad stop it! I know what you're trying to do and it's not going to work! Metal Wing doesn't have to eat if he doesn't want to! I love him and you have to accept that!" Scarlet shouted.

"He's going to eat it!" Silver Feather shouted.

His wife had enough as well. "Eat it yourself we are out of here."

Silver Feather's family left. Metal Wing would have eaten the octopus but was happy he didn't have to and left as well.

"Yeah whatever go ahead and leave!" Silver Feather shouted at all of them.

Silver Feather ate the live octopus whole. Well done.

*Ack! Ack!*

However, something was wrong. Silver Feather couldn't breathe. The octopus he just swallowed was a fighter. Silver Feather tried to swallow. When the waitress saw what was happening, she tried to save him by doing the heimlich maneuver. It wasn't working. After two minutes of struggling.

*Plop!*

Silver Feather fell to the floor dead. With a tentacle sticking out of his mouth still moving. Hey Red Heart how did this kill Silver Feather?

"When the live octopus lodged itself in the throat with its tentacles inside the windpipe with the trachea. This gryphon was unable to suck in fresh air and he effectively asphyxiated or choked to death."

Silver Feather didn't think anypony was worthy for his daughter. He was stuck in his old ways. That kind of thinking...It'll kill ya.
