Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Wolf walked towards the Griffons he cracked his knuckles and drew his kukri, Wolf was not one to back down from a fight, especially when it ment avenging those who had fallen to protect others. Suddenly Wolf was grabbed from behind and dropped his kukri, a Griffon was smart enough to realise the trap that he was being led into and stayed behind.

Upon being grabbed Wolf grabbed his pistol off of his hip and raised it to his right shoulder, once there he shot himself to get free of the Griffons grasp. Upon being released Wolf fell to the ground where he grabed his kukri. The Griffon that uad grabbed Wolf was angry and lunged at him, however even though Wolf could now only feel and move one arm he flung his arm up and impaled the Griffon.

Wolf clambered back to his feet and grabbed his pistol and started stumbling towards the Griffons his vision slowly faded as the pain started to overwhelm him, he knew if ue could cause the Griffons to flee he would be safe if he passed out. Knowing this he holstered his pistol and grabbed one of his flares, ignited it, and threw it in the middle of the Griffon group. As to be expected the Griffons saw the flames of the flare and scattered.

His vision was still fading, the best course of action for him now was to try and get back to the castle. He ripped off his sleeve and wrapped it around his shoulder to slow the blood loss. He stumbled back through the town, he didnt want to use his wings incase they effected the wound. He only just made it into the castle before he fell to the ground

Before he blacked out he shouted "ITS SAFE, WILL SOMEPONY GET ME A DOCTOR BEFORE I BLA-"

Raptor heard this shouting and said "its safe but something has happened to Wolf, we need to find him"

The group all agreed that they should help the man so they quickly ran down the corridor to find him. By the time they found him blood was leaking from his makeshift bamdage, Twilight lifted Wolf onto the back of Raptor before they ran towards the hospital, once they arrived all the ponies started pointing and whispering amongst themselves. Before the group got to the front desk they were stopped by a group of ponies.

"Why are you bringing that thing in here, its propally behind what has just happened to the town" said a large stallion, who was raising his head to attempt to look taller than the alicorn sized Raptor

Twilight was going to handle the situation before Raptor shouted "THIS MAN JUST SAVED ALL OF YOU, YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE MAN WHO HAS BEEN TRAINING THE LUNA GUARD FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS"

Before the argument could go on any further the two princesses came into the lobby, amd quickly arranged a room for Wolf to be treated. The two sisters were ready to use the same spell they had used on Raptor less than a week ago incase his vital signs dropped. It was a long two months in the hospital before there was any change in his condition. Wolf woke up and looked around the room to see three of his friends around him, Twilight was talking to Raptor about the humans anatomy and Pinkie Pie was sat in the corner next to her confetti cannon waiting for him to wake up so she could throw a party.

Before Wolf opened his eyes he said "Why in hell did you lie me on my back"

Everypony gasped is shock before giving Wolf a hug, after they had held tight for at least a minute Raptor asked "Who shot you"

Wolf looked at him and replied "long story short, i got grabbed from behind and couldn't move, my only choise was to shot my self in the shoulder to wound the Griffon that had hold of me"

Raptor laughed once he heard Wolf's story and said "Of course, no one can kill the Wolf but the Wolf"

Wolf sat up and stretched his arms and wings and noticed that his only shirt was gone, he didnt ask where it had gone as he already knew that the doctors would have had to cut the shirt off of him so that they could get to the wound.

Twilight was about to leave the room when pinkie pie asked "what does your cutie mark mean?"

Wolf was confused at first until he realised that she was talking about his tattoo, Which was a pack of darkly coloured wolves, he replied "its not a cutie mark, its called a tattoo, basically a drawing on my body, but it about the loyalty of a pack"

Only seconds after Twilight left the room the rest of the group flooded in saying things like "we knew you would make it" and "you saved alot of lives"

The group gathered around Wolf so tight he could barely breathe. Once the group seperated a lit bit the princesses thanked Wolf for what he had done, but there was still little time to rest as the draconequus known as Discord had escapes from his stone prison and was causing even more havok back in ponyville, Wolf looked at his shoulder to see only a little scar and that he could move his arm with no pain whatsoever. He accepted this task and was told to leave for ponyville in the morning.

In the mean time princess Luna wanted to introduce him to the Lunar guard. They entered a dark room where the man could barely see. Luna brought some light to the room for Wolf to see at least two dozen ponies hanging upside down from the ceiling. Upon the light hotting these ponies they lowered themselves to the ground and lined up into groups of five, with the leaders upfront.

Princess Luna said "Wolf these are my four sergeants Spearhead, Dark Lance, Arrow Bolt and Fluff Ball"

Wolf held back a laugh before saying "pleasure to meet you, im Corporal Wolf"

The four Sargeants introduced themselves properly one at a time, some more polite than others. The conversations were over quickly as Wolf wanted to finish some business in Canterlot, but first he needed a shirt. Luckily Rarity was leaving for ponyville the next day with the rest of the group so she was able to quickly make a shirt for him while he packed his bag. As Wolf knew this was only a short trip back to ponyville he only packed ammo and tools, he also wanted to grab another bag so that he could collect more of his possessions from his camp.

Once he had finished his business he retired to his bunk and quickly fell to sleep, although it was not peaceful

Wolf found himself in a dark room, surrounded by his fallen squad mates calling his name, this occurred the entire night, nomatter how many times he woke up. This nightmare only worsened by the hour, leaving Wolf with short bursts of sleep only to be awoken in a puddle of his own sweat. By morning Wolf had only gotten about two hours of sleep before being woken by Raptor.

"Get up man, I'll buy you breakfast before you leave" he said, making sure Wolf was actually awake

Wolf groaned in agreement before he rolled out of bed and got dressed, pulling his new black shirt over his wing, the shirt itself was nothing special, but it had a spell on it that would allow it to stretch about 2 meters in all directions, and it also had two small holes on the back of it to allow his wings to leave the shirt without having to cut a hole for them.

As Wolf and Raptor walked through the town they noticed that there was a large group of ponies gathered around the train station, as they approached they realised it was a wave of refugees from ponyville, they had most likely fled in fear of the war and Discords appearance. They found Twilight and her friends were attempting to keep the peace before Wolf shouted that it would be a good idea to leave soon on hoof.

Twilight and the group agreed, so they headed back towards the castle so that Twilight could collect the elements of harmony and so Wolf could grab his pack. Once there they informed Celestia about the large wave of refugees at the station before collecting what they needed. They said their goodbyes to their friends at Canterlot and set off towards Ponyville.
