Chapter 4 - Pinks & Glimmglam vs. Griffons

The rest of the following day, did Pinkie Pie and Starlight Glimmer let pass in relative silence.
Starlight set up a few guarding wards, when Pinkie made strange comments about Angel Bunny familie making a apperance for their next breakfast time.

The night seemingly was over in a eventless moment for Starlight. Pinkie Pie had to sleep with a eye open knowing about the coming day.
Yet when Starlight was woken by Pinkie Pie, while she danced around as if she had been unable to find the little fillies room to pee.

She was about to scold the water filled Pie, when she suddenly realised that they were surrounded by white-ish or rather light pink-ish Bunnys.
Bunnys that totaly take over every inch of her shield guards wards that protected against intruders. Bunny with very long and sharp looking teeth. Now that she was wide awake she noticed the smell. It was like metal with a hint of rotting.

The Bunny could'nt be possible be coated in dried blood? Could they...?

Pinkie Pie really wanted to leave, but could'nt. The shielding ward Starlight set up keep things outside but themself inside. When needed it would keep rain and accumulating water out, but air would flow in without a chance of causing suffocation.

Pinkies powers work for pranks and light hearted mischief not life or death situation with someone having murderous intend towards her, despite her pokerface that made any of her bluffing quite convincing.
Mother Pie raising no fool after all!

As well as her blink movement normaly worked over short or long distance, overlapping observations from over fifty very hungry and not so cute looking Bunnys negated her ability.

When Starlight Glimmer stopped denie the truth of the situation, that they would be literally Bunny food if they didn't get out of here.
So she grabbed Pinkie Pie, before teleporting them both into the air, charging up her self levitation and taking hold of the flailing pink pone with telekenasis.

Said pone was very thankfull and had slightly bloodshot eyes from tears unshead as of yet, do to how close they came to death by being devoured alive. That was a first time experience she really could have passed up.
Like that one time were she learned of Spikes Dragon scale Cupcakes. She didn't expected Spike to literally use his old scales as food addition. Anyway...
Where ever they are, where ever they went, when ever they went, they be sticking together for safety and keeping night watch from now on.

Pinkie kissed the grass grown earth under her when Starlight set her down, milliseconds before her self levitation give out.
Keeping active ward without magic chalk was a rather advanced spellward, keeping the mana flow over sleep while said ward were working at onehundred procent capacity to ward of attackers had her more drained than she expected.

She self levitated with Pinkie in tow hundred of meters over the ground as to lose this predatory Bunny subspecies. The mental passiv drain of the still activ Bunny trap really did a number on Starlight.
Now she could almost go right back to sleep from the mana drain alone, not to speak of her mental stamina tanking rather impressive punishment.
They had to get the Tarterus out of this area. Meat eating Bunny are unnatural in her view.

Bunnys are suppose to be cute and cuddley, not meat eating, blood bathing carnivores!
Pinkie was kind enough as to shoulder the burden to increase the distance between the campsite of last night and their current location. She also made a referance about really needing to stock up on holy hoove grenades, what ever that was suppose to mean.

Pinkie Pie despite looking a bit more voluminous on her flanks to be well trained. Her muscles were very firm as far Starlight could tell from herself laying over Pinkie's back, draping like a wet blanket. Candy flanks also used Cotton Candy scented Shampoo. Starlight Glimmer fatigued mind wonder if she tasted like it to.

Minutes past when Starlight dosed of to get some more sleep time in when Pinkie Pie see a bipedal light gray thing run almost her and Snoozelight Glimmer over. When she looked at the reason from were he came from as well why he was in a full sprint , she sighted a lone Blood Bunny coming straight for them.

Pinkie Pies eyes grow cartoonishly to twice there size before she take a full gallop back from were they come before and into a random bush.
Starlight had been rudely awaking by a sudden galloping Pinkie Pie holding her not so limb body in her place via coatmagic hold.

When she was about to ask what the sugar flank lunatic was doing, did the Blood Bunnys war cry take her full attention from the mares Pie.

The Blood Bunny was about to sink its teeth into its next meal when it lunched into the air with a leap. Just to smack right into a see trough impact shield spell against physical objects. That stunned the Blood Bunny long enough for Pinkie Pie to take aim, turn around and buck the living horseapples out of the little fucker.

That day Rabbit and Bunnys could claim to have seen one of them fly gracefully in the sky.
Just good they didn't see the impact or what become of the legendary flying Rodent upon touching back on ground.

The tree it hit had a fashionable red nightdress tint to it until the next rain would wash its blood and guts away.

After taking a break and deciding to follow the gray biped Pinkie Pie claim to see running away from the Blood Bunny, did they follow his last direction. When coming to a river, they take a good long drink, released unnessesary bodywaste while keeping in sight of eatch other in case of another Bunny coming for a free flight lession by Team Pink.

They than followed the River downstream as to hope meeting with any sapient life as to ask for directions to where ever they be safe and away from this nightmare forrest.

As they reached the rivers end point they behold quite the sight. A huge sea was infront of them and in the distance was a gray biped apparently playing some sort of game with many ponys on the other side of the seabed.

Why would Pegasus dance around him in opposent flying directions like in a theater playbook story, would they found out a day later. There was no heartsong she could feel coming up, taking her by surprise. Coordination without a heartsong would need months of training with one another.
They keep watching while slowly making there way to them.

When they were half way across the distance, did two Griffon tried to ambush Pinkie Pie, as if she know what was coming she leap to the side.

The two griffons bearly pulled up in time very nearly crashing into Starlight's very flimsy impact shield spell created on reaction alone.
When they come around for another pass did one of them break of to eatch pony.

The Griffon coming for Pinkie missed her, when said party pony took a confetti party pooper out of her mane and blinded the Griffon with it's rainbow colored paper pieces.
Starlight Glimmer simply used telekenasis to hold the Griffons momentum and hold him in place.
Magic bullshitting regular physics like force of momentum for the win.

The Pink pony had blinded one of the attacker quite unexpectedly longer than predicted. The blinded Griffon pulled up and keep on a hard climb to win distance, until it eyes were free of what ever clogged his eyes and face up.
It was sticking to his beak and feathers worse than mud or treesap.

Leaving one Griffon to deal with.
Said Griffon was ineffectiv flailing in the air, having his wings painfully restrained by his horned meal. The preys horn was alight but instead of a short burst of magic, did she keep a steady stream of light on her horn and a tight grip around him.
The Griffons panic skyrocket when he realised that the prey had become the predator.

Starlight Glimmer's patience was running low, the Griffon in her telekenasis grip was flailing like it was on fire or something, screeching and hissing like a wild beasty trapped in a vice deathgrip.

No matter what she said to the Griffon, he would not calm down. So when she lowered him to the ground as to release him and giving him a chance to leave, she was quite surprised when he lunched himself at her face with his Talons ready to 'rip & tear, until it would be done'.

Unlucky Griffon forget Pinkie Pie!
That crafty 4th wall bending prankster had pulled a red cape out of her mane and throwing it in the Griffons attack charge. Starlight Glimmer had no idea were the Catbird dissapered to.

When the Griffon wake next he found himself surrounded by Blood Bunnys. They welcomed him with wide smiles on there cute little faces.

Both newly battletested mares were releaved to see the sky fleed Griffon make a run for it. Hopping from cloud to cloud, despite being so thin they could see his dark feathercoat troughout the clouds vapors.

Razor Beak had enough about this ponys surprises and this new intruder in there clans territory. Once his brother Razor Claw come back with him to there nest would they come in force to chase the ponys away from there fishing grounds!

When Razor Beak returned to the nest, did his mother welcomed him back. The old hen was looking better, since the Harpy attack two months ago. By the time summer ended, her wounds would be healed enough to take to the skys again.

She was slightly concerned when the unseperable chicks of hers didn't return home together, but perhaps one of them had been lucky catching a pony for dinner or even better, finding a mate. Both were already fourtteen and are losing there fletchling feathers soon. She would really love to see grandchicks. While she could in theory last many summers more, it would be good to teach her sons chicks the art of hunting ponys, Phoenixes or if they feel very brave, Blood Bunnys.

It was really kinda ridicules that a rodent subspecies had evolved into carnivores and there for a Apex Predator with its swarming tactics.
Many bites to non vital areas still bleed.
A lucky or unlucky attack could cripple or kill.
Griffon on Bunny or the other way around.
They only give away about being a Blood Bunny or a prey Bunny by getting into range to see a pinkish hue do to blood remains or the smell of rotting blood and/or meat.

When both brother would have returned would she teach her only familie the art of cooking meat in hot water, she traded with a Abesinian for the boneknifes she had made out of horned ponys magic bone and legbones from sturdy earthponys.

Gabriel collected many fruits for his future cuddlebuddy and perhaps friend. Since he was butt naked he could'nt actually collect to mutch at once, but he faithfully bring the fruits and berrys to there former cuddle position, and keep pilling the foods up.

He was not surprised that around the tents the trees were almost picked clean, but only just. Some harder to reach areas still had some.
Even if the pony would not take his offer at first it would supply him for the next three days, more or less.

Faithful Wings was confused, beyond any expectations did the predator stallion behave like a common mare in a herd. She tried to explain the reason to herself.
The self proclaimed predatory mate of hers did for her what a mare normaly did for stallions and foals!
Perhaps her guess was correct. With Predators have reversed gender roles.
What a mindblowing revelation!!!

He was kind and gentle, while being strong and intimidating. He was positivly male, yet he was acting like a female should.
Maybe, just maybe having a predator as mate would be actually pleasent after all. Her mind was in a rollercoaster ride of theorys.

Still she was beyond terrified thinking the gray predator on two hindlegs was only acting like it because of delusions caused by poisens that was rather plentyful in this valley.
Most likely she had to wait until the next time the sun would rise to see if he was under the influence or not. She really hoped that this stallion would be hers. He would be perfect on hindsight. Working to keep her feeded, protected against Blood Bunnys and other dangers and his rather dull claw things were devine on her coat.

Creator have mercy, she almost came from him clawing gently troughout her feathers. She wondered how a non winged fellow sapient could have learn to preen a wing so diligently, while not even looking at it. Unless his vision of field was bigger than she expected it to be.
But most puzzling of it all? Why did he show dominant behavior, got her to submit to breeding her, only to leave her all hot and bothered.

Perhaps he was making sure she would submit in the first place to him when dominance was established. Right now she had to fly fast to her mother, get to know how she pleased father well enough to have become a permanent herd mate and claim him as her herd mate. If he was actually interessted in her more than a meaty meal she would be the first head mare of a predators herd.

She would totaly invide all Thestral mares and keep any other head mares from claiming the prestige she had most bravely earnd. Noone would ever guess her perhaps slightly mad gamble to impress stallions.
She would not end a foalless mare no matter what!
