A large storm unleashed its fury down onto the forest below. It's lightning striking the ground below. Followed by the mighty roar of thunder. Inside the castle the small group rested; each of them staring up at the ceiling. Thunder echoed through the crumbling walls of the castle. Ocellus shook a little out of fear from the sound. Smolder noticed and put a gentle wing around her friend.

“It's messed up about what happened yesterday.” Gallus muttered.

Sandbar looked at him, “No kidding,” He replied, “Friends, Ponies we knew, even our own teachers attacked all of us.” He finished.

“Not their fault,” Yona quickly defended, “That mare Apani's fault. When Yona get hooves on her! I will SMASH her!” She finished.

Silverstream shook her head, “Yona, That mare is somehow able to control minds. If you get close to her; all shes gonna do is turn you against us.” She said receiving a glare from Yona.

“You have better idea, fish-breath!” Yona yelled back at her.

As the two argued Razor had separated himself from the group. He walked to the main hall of the castle; where he then walked up the stairs. After walking through a few hallways; he found himself standing inside an old look-out tower. He walked over to a open window and looked out. He saw a group of ponies searching for them in the distance. But, thanks to the camouflage crystal they were given. The group moved on; never seeing the castle they were hiding in. He then gazed out towards the horizon. Looking in the direction his home would be in. For a few minutes all he did was sit and stare.

“I need to go get my forge.” He said to himself before he began the long walk back down.

When he reached the main hall again; he could hear his friends yelling at each other. It bothered him not only because of the echo in the castle. But, also because he hated it when people would yell or speak loudly. With a sigh he walked towards the large double doors of the castle and walked out. The rain immediately drenching him; almost like he had just stepped into the shower. He slowly walked across the bridge. Looking back only for a second before he walked through the magical field.

He looked to his left and then to his right. Once he saw everything was clear; he began to walk into the forest. Flashes of lightning illuminated the darkness of the forest. Followed by the thunder that roared loudly. Razor was unfazed by both of them. He just kept walking through the forest; a single thought was on his mind. Get to his home and get his forge. He came to an immediate stop when he heard the breaking of a branch. He stayed completely still; listening for another sound. Only to get dragged down behind a tree.

“What are you doing?!” Gallus yelled in a hushed tone as he pressed Razor against the tree he hid behind.

“I was going to get my forge from home.” Razor answered.

“What?” Gallus replied as he shot him a look of confusion, “Razor, your forge is at the school.” He finished.

“I have a second one at my home,” Razor responded, “Now, please, let me go. I have to go get my forge.” He finished as he pushed Gallus back. Only to be grabbed by him again, “Let go of me.” He said.

“No,” Gallus said sharply, “You're not going anywhere near Ponyville,” He added as he began to pull Razor back, “You're coming back to the castle now!” He nearly yelled.

“No! I need to get my forge!” Razor yelled possibly giving away their position.

The two were locked inside a pulling match. Razor trying to pull himself free from Gallus's hold. While Gallus tried to keep his friend safe. A bolt of lighting struck a tree near them; it ended up falling towards them. Sending both of them running and falling into a small ravine. Both of them rolled on the muddy ground. They came to a stop at the bottom of the ravine. Gallus had landed on top of Razor. Both of them were panting heavily; as they lay there. Gallus looked down at Razor while he looked up at him. They stared at each other for a few seconds; until Gallus suddenly kissed Razor. Who kissed him back. They held the kiss for a few seconds until they broke it.

“Razor?” Gallus asked.

“Yeah.” Razor replied.

“Please,” He begged, “Please, lets go back to the castle,” He continued before he gently nuzzled him, “Please.” He finished.

Razor was silent for a moment as he gently wrapped his hooves around the gryphon. He then slowly nodded his head. The two then got of the muddy ground and began walking back. The rain helping wash the dirt off of their bodies as they walked back. It didn't take them long to reach the castle. Their friends were very happy to seem them both; alive and unharmed. Razor apologized to everyone for leaving. But, they quickly forgave him. The group then moved back into the castle; just as it began to rain hard again.

The group rested inside their room; each of them laying next to one another. Providing each other with a sense companionship and warmth. Both Gallus and Razor are shown resting together. Gallus had Razor snuggled into his chest. He had a smile stretched across his face; before he wrapped a gentle wing around him. He then moved his mouth close to his ear.

“I love you.” He whispered to him.

“I love you, too, Gallus.” Razor whispered back.
