{In Griffonstone Chapel}

It was 12:34 in the afternoon, griffons young, and old rushed to the chapel. A few of them hardly made it, but as for others they made it on time. Chris, Glider, King Razor Beak, Queen Frost, and Prince Scar were all together in the same area. The bishop of the chapel held out two red blood cups, each for the bride, and groom.

"And so, by drinking from our holy grails blessed by our long noble bloodlines! You will be blessed amongst yourselves, and your future children!" The bishop said as he gave the cups to the couple.

Glider couldn't help but smile, as she looked at Chris' eyes wondering off, while still holding her cup. "I drink to you my king, now and forever." She said, and the couple sipped both their drinks, the bishop raised his arms into the air.

"By the law of our race, I here by declare you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Chris decided to satisfy Glider's wish. Before anyone could react, he grabbed Glider, pulled her into a hug, and kissed her beak passionately. This took her, along with everyone else by surprise, so the crowd got up from their seats to cheer the newly weds. The royal family was more than thrilled to see one of their own go off. Razor Beak had tears in his eyes, but covered them to show him not crying, Frost on the other hand wasn't even trying to stop her eyes from overflowing. Scar looked over to a pair of heavily armored griffon knights, nodding at them to come forward, and so them walked towards the group.

After Chris was done kissing his blushing bride, which Glider was taken aback from. Scar tapped on Chris' shoulder getting his attention.

"I like to present my new brother-in-law a wedding gift!" He said as the two griffon knights showed up, and held out a weapon wrapped in silk cloth.

Everyone in the room was curious about this wedding gift. Chris looked at the cloth, one of the griffon knights unwrapped the gift, and in a flashing red light there was a sword with red metal on it. Glider could not believe what she saw, as her eyes shot wide open.

"Is this what I think it is Scar?" She asked still shocked from it.

"Yes my dear sister. I have decided to aid our new friend by giving him the blade a thousand fires. Use it well my brother, and thank you for saving our kingdom. My family's castle, is your castle!" He said while bowing at Chris, soon afterwards everyone in the chapel was bowing to him, he didn't know what to say really.

"Now lets get this party started!" A random griffon with headphone shouted, starting up music on loudspeakers that just showed up out of nowhere. Everyone ran outside to start partying, Chris decided to leave the area for a bit, but he was followed by Glider.

"What are you up to stud muffin? Going to play with your new toy my brother gave you?" She asked while smirking at the thought of her husband would play soldier with a powerful weapon, but Chris just sat on a bench nearby.

"No Glider, just trying to figure out my next step towards liberating Equestria from the Caribou." He said with a sad sigh changing Glider's mood, now feeling the urge to comfort Chris she sat down next to him.

"Don't worry about my king. We will get through this, I know we can. Just promise me you won't worry about this, ok?"

Chris looked at Glider who was holding his hands gently, and rough like as usually. He then smiled and said. "Ok Glider, I believe you, and I will not worry about this anymore."

He shot up, leaving the bench, but was stopped by Glider.

"Lets enjoy the celebration. Its about you after all my king, and the king is the guest of honor. And we griffons take great pride in honor, so lets go!"

With that said the couple headed back to the party. Lots of nobles were gathered around to celebrate the union of two great nations joined together. Soldiers were boasting about their achievements, while ours just goofed around not caring about the area around them. Seeing as though some of the nobles were throwing trash around the area, others try to hide their stuff in spot nobody checks or really cares about.

Chris pulled out one of his teleport crystals, a hand reached and grabbed Chris' hand. It was Queen Frost, she was looking at him smiling as she held out a talisman shaped of an eagle with swords on it's talons.

"Before you go my friend, I want you to have this, as an honor of our new relationship" She said.

"Alright, my queen, I will take this in the name of our new alliance"

"Please, call me frost from now on ok? You calling me queen all the time makes me feel old, and I hate it when someone makes fun of my age."

"Oh! Huh, I mean Frost." Chris said while shivering at the thought of the female griffon tearing him apart all because of her age, but figured do as she says. "Also, I'm glad to meet the mother of my lovely princess. I now know where she gets her looks from, not to mention strength from as well."

Frost looked at Chris with a bit of a twinkle in her eye when he said that last part.

"Oh! Well, thank you, I do pride myself for looks, and charms. But really though, Glider takes mostly from her father, and I manage to give her my lustful thinking when choosing a male like yourself."

Chris gave out a heavy blush, and was stuttering about it.

"Oh! Um! Eh! Ah! What?!"

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Haaaa! Your just too adorable this is so funny!"

Just as things were kicking off with the two talking. Glider on the other hand was getting green-eyed from this, and walked towards them grabbing Chris' collar pulling him to her.

"Ok mom, I think my king and I need to go back 'NOW!''' Glider snarled at her mother.

"Ok, ok Glider. Write to me as soon as you get a chance ok?"

"Alright."

With that Chris was dragged through the portal leaving Queen Frost alone.

"[Sigh] My son-in-law my our races join become one. And I hope for you to keep my daughter safe." She said to herself.

{Back at home A.K.A. Zebraic Empire}

The palace was going around with stallion and mare zebras cooking, cleaning, and working hard around the castle. A certain queen zebra was sitting on her throne waiting impatiently for her husband to return.

Just then a couple of Antelopes showed up in front of the queen not before bowing their heads to her of course.

"Any good news?" Honey asked as she sounded grumpy and annoyed.

The two looked at each other, then looking back towards her. "Well, you see your highness." One of them replied nervously. "We manage to organized the food storage for this year but-''

"But what?" She asked rudely startling the two, but recovered a bit.

"But, we still having a hard time figuring out how we are going to reinforce our garrison for our defenses. Do you know when King Chris will return?"

"Here we are!" A random voiced yelled out. The three looked at the left side of the throne room to see Chris and Glider coming out of the portal. Honey got up from he throne to welcome her love back, only to see him being dragged like a dog.

"Uh, why are you dragging our husband like this?" Honey asked while crossing her arms with an angry look.

"Cause, your stripyness, he was getting too friendly with my mom that's what." She replied as she glared at Chris who was now shaking in fear.

Honey now noticing this decide to stand up for him and said. "I'm sure he didn't mean it Glider. Oh, by the way, how was your own wedding?"

"Eh, was fine, 'way' better then this kingdom's wedding ceremony."

"Well, we do like to keep our customs the same like you do, and I'm glad you both are together through the griffon's eyes. That way we have more allies in building up our great kingdom with a better ruler in charge." Honey said proudly while smiling.

Glider calmed down and smiled back. "Yeah, I suppose so. As a member of King Chris' harem, I will follow your law, and let the two of you get some catching up to do, see you later my king."

The griffon left the room not before blowing out a kiss towards Chris. He recovered from this, and looked up to see Honey looking down at him in amusement.

"Two warnings my love. One, never make a griffon angry. And two, never make 'Me' angry. Got that?" She asked.

"Yes, of course Honey." Chris replied as he got up. "So what happened while I was gone?"

"Do you really have to ask?"

"As king, I must be informed as soon as possible, you know that."

"[Sigh] Fine, but let us head for the bridely chambers to check on the others first."

"Ok."

The human and zebra started to walk down the halls of the palace. The stallions and mares bowed to the royal couple as they made their way towards the room. Unfortunately, they were stopped by a little zebra colt who was no older than 5 years old bumping right at Chris.

After that, the colt looked up at the human, and was so scared he ran back the way he came. Just then a zebra mare looked at the small terrified colt, and picked him up in her arms with a worried look on her face.

"Oh my ancestors! I'm so sorry for my son's actions my king! Please don't hurt him!" She cried out in a panic hoping to take the pain for her child. Chris and Honey looked at each other, and back at the mother with the child in her arms. Chris kneeled down to the mare's eye level.

"Its ok my dear, everything is fine. I'm more concerned about your child now. Is he alright?" Chris asked calmly making the mother calm down a bit, and she nodded her head slightly. "Good cause right now, I have to meet up with the rest of my other wives. And make sure your son doesn't run off like that again. After all, the palace is no place for running."

"Thank you my king, thank you!" She said as she left with her child.

Honey looked at Chris with a smiling look on her face.

"That was a very nice thing you did my love, and the way you scared that colt. Shows that everything you done so far, even children start to fear and respect you. Which is both a good thing, and a bad thing."

"I know my queen, I know. But for now lets just meet up with the others." Chris said as the passed by a few maids that were whispering something the couple could not hear.

The maids giggled and started to give out lustfully looks at Chris as he passed by them. One of them winked at him, but quickly ran away cause of Honey's death glare. They began to resume their work, and at a much faster pace now.

"So tell me Chris. What happened at the griffon kingdom anyways?" Honey asked looking at him.

Chris looked back at her and replied. "Well we arrived at the kingdom an hour before the invasion. The caribou brought in a fleet of airships, led by a cocky young general who Glider manage to kill on the battlefield."

"Oh my! What happened next?"

"After the battle, she showed me her kingdom, and I kind of like it, if not for the snow of course. I met her mother, at first she seemed cautious at first, but took a liking to me after she gave me this talisman."

Chris then showed Honey the thing, and she quickly took it from his hands.

"I don't believe it. She gave this to you willingly, and no cost at all?"

"No, why is it special? I just took in good faith that we allied ourselves with the griffons."

"Indeed it is my king. This talisman is a blessing from the griffon's mightiest god in their religion."

"Oh, well that's good, we need that now after everything that has happened."

The couple final reached the doors still continuing their conversation.

"And the weapon they gave you is something no ordinary griffon can wield, and a great gift indeed."

"MY LORD CHRIS!" Yelled out a happy voice. Chris looked over to see Mango running towards him opening her arms out to give him a big hug. "We have missed you so much! I will smother you with all my love my strong husband!"

Chris waved his arms out trying to stop the charging female elephant. "Wait, wait, wait Mango stop! URRGG!-" But it was too late, she was hugging him so tight that the fat from her body was sucking Chris in bit, and with no room to breath. "Can't...breath...Mango!" Mango didn't listen, as she then lifted him two feet away from her, and began to kiss him rather sloppy like smothering his lips with her mouth invading his own.

"Ahem!" Honey faked coughed getting the elephant's attention.

"Oh, sorry my queen!" Mango apologized as she quickly put Chris down, as he stood there with his mouth on agape. She then bowed to Honey. "What brings you to our chambers your graces?"

"We were just checking on you, to see what has happened since I was out. Did anything happen?" Chris asked looking at Mango now full focused.

"While you were out Chris, I been thinking about the city's people, and how they are living their lives. Other than that, the twins dug up something you need to hear my king."

"Ashy and Zashy? They discovered something?"

"Yes my king, and it involves the very future of our kingdom too." Honey said this time, as she then snapped her fingers. A secret door from behind them suddenly opened revealing the gazelle twins.

"We have something for you our king!" They both said, and handed out a scroll like paper to him. Chris opened it up, to reveal that a traitor has leaked information to the caribou about the attack in griffonstone, and he looked at the very bottom of the page.

"Sticky Sap!" Chris yelled angerly, as he crushed the scroll in his hands. "And I made it perfectly clear to him about the new tax law to fix things too!"

This startled the others as they were shocked too at this, and gave angry looks just the same.

"That son of a striped mule!" Mango yelled as she threw a chair at the wall, thankfully not damaging the wall.

"I know this comes as a shock to you your highness, but do not forget there are some who don't favor you, or your leadership like the rest of us does." Ashy said.

"Your right Ashy." Chris said calmly now. "Now we need to focus on our own defense, and hopefully overcome this nightmare of the caribou."

"Uh, aren't you forgetting a few of your harem my king?" Said a voice. The 5 looked to see Puzzle, Flora, Glider, and Midnight waiting at the door to the room.

"Uh, how much did you hear?" Chris asked.

"Everything." Puzzle replied. "I have already told my mother about this, and she has ordered high alert. If they spot Sticky Sap, they will arrest him on site for treason, so you will have nothing to worry about my king."

"Good, cause now we need help from anyone willing to save our land." Chris said.
