Rebellion of Caribous Kingdom

Sky goes home after a long working day. He is not sure how that griffin can find his home. "I'm home." Sky opens the door and Leaf Cutter is waiting for him. The blue caribou feels weird and asks. "What happened?"

The unicorn bows. "Master, you got a guest. He is a brown griffin."

Sky is surprised when he hears that. The blue caribou says it calmly. "I will talk to him. We need some time alone. Make sure that no one come here." The unicorn bows and leads the caribou to the living room to meet the guest.

When the blue caribou goes inside the room, he sees the brown griffin is enjoying his tea. The brown griffin smiles. "Sorry for introducing your house."

The blue caribou turns to the unicorn and nods. Leaf Cutter bows and goes out of the room. The blue caribou sits down. "What are you?"

"Just a normal griffin who joined a rebellion to take down this king." The brown griffin puts the cup down. "Is that what you need?"

"No. I mean you can go inside without being hypnotized." retorts Sky. "I believe that you are not coming here just to visit me."

The brown griffin smiles. "I see. What's your name?"

"Sky." The caribou looks away. "That.. the name I remember. I don't know."

"Eldaro." The brown griffin smiles. "Nice to meet you."

"Eldaro? That... the strange name for a griffin." Sky rubs his chin. "I honestly don't know if a griffin have that kind of name."

Eldaro leans on the sofa and puts his claws behind his head. "Anyway, I will talk to you a little bit, if you are interested." Sky turns away as he doesn't know what this griffin wants. Eldaro smiles, "Or at least I will answer your confusion." Sky turns back to the griffin as Eldaro grins. "Bet that you have questions on your mind while being dispelled."

Sky sighs in frustration. "Fine. I will ask you some questions and I need you answer honestly."

Eldaro takes a sip to the tea. "Sure. I will answer whatever I can, but if you ask questions about our private life, I will not answer."

Sky nods. "Deal. Give me a moment." The blue caribou walks outside and tells his slaves to prepare some teas. The brown griffin looks at the window and sees that the soldiers are patrolling around the city. Eldaro lies on the sofa and waits for the caribou to prepare some tea.

The day has come as the guards open the prison to release the griffin, but he is still in chains to keep. The guard leads him to a room. When they enter the room, Degan sees Aria is sitting down and whispering. Looking around, he sees no soldier around.

"I thought this room will have a lot of soldiers." Degan gives her a smirk. "I bet that you don't want to have pressure. How stupid!"

"No." Aria shakes her head. "They don't want to see you after this battle, because you are going to lose anyway."

"What!?" Degan grits his teeth. "No way I am going to lose. Give me my sword."

"I think that you will need your armor too." Aria shakes her head. "For protecting you."

"You don't wear armor, so why would I?" Degan steps on the arena. "That will be offended."

"As you resist."

Degan starts looking at the old mare with the halberd. From what he sees, that halberd is quite heavy for an old mare to hold it as the old mare grins. Degan takes a step back and spreads his wings, then charges at the old mare with the high speed. When the griffin is going to slash Aria, he sees the halberd is coming to him. The griffin blocks the slash but the force is too strong, because he can't hold the sword and drops it.

'What... What kind of strength...' The griffin picks the sword and points at the old pegasus as she is walking close to him. Aria raises the halberd and slams it near the griffin. The slam blows him away. The griffin stands up and charges at her immediately.

Degan tries to slash at the old mare continuously but Aria dodges them easily. The mare feels bored as she catches the sword with her hoof. The griffin tries to pull it out but he can't. "What... What are you?"

"Familiar question from the opponent." Aria punches him in the stomach and sends him out of the arena. The griffin coughs some blood and lies there. "But only one answer from them."

Degan gets up and dashes at her immediately but the old mare steps aside to dodge the thrust. The mare kicks the griffin up, cause Degan flies up, then Aria catches him in the mid- air and increases the speed to the ground. The griffin is trying to struggle but he can't due to the strong grip.

The arena is covered by smoke as Trevor is walking inside to see what's happening. He sees the old mare is walking out and cracks her neck while Degan is lying on the floor. The guard takes him back to the jail. Aria puts her front hoof on Trevor's shoulder. "Nice way to push the responsibility to this old mare."

"You are a monster that disguises as an old mare." Trevor turns away from her. "I don't know if you can kill me anytime."

"I enjoy your suffering more than your death." Aria bucks him at the belly, cause the caribou hold his stomach a long time as the old mare walks out of the room. "Be prepared. Eldaro is successful in going inside the city. We will take Taco and Gaze go inside."

Taco and Gaze are looking at the line that many creatures are walking inside. The griffin is worried while the Abyssian is hugging Gaze and whispers, "Hope that we will pass this."

"I don't scared anymore." Gaze's face is blue. "After being carved by that stupid eagle."

"I know her reason, but carving the spell into the skin is ... overdo thought. Why didn't she get a neck ache or a ring?"

"I don't know." Gaze sees the speaker say 'next'. "Wish me luck."

The griffin goes inside the station and sees the blue caribou is checking the paper to a minotaur. The blue caribou is pressing the red stamp on his paper. The minotaur nods and goes out of the station.

The caribou turns to the griffin and waves his hoof. "Paper." Gaze gives him some papers as the blue caribous ask him. "The reason to come here?"

"Visit my friends." answers Gaze. "My friend wants to meet me."

The blue caribou smiles. "You don't have ID paper, and that slave of yours is not your property too, right?" The griffin is turning away. The caribou presses the green stamp, making the griffin surprised. The blue caribou gives the paper back. "Cause no trouble."

Gaze takes it. "Tha... thank you."

"You're welcome." The blue caribou turns to the door. "Next."

Gaze quickly runs out to get the Abyssian. When he gets there, he sees the three-colour Abyssian is sleeping. Gaze finds it cute and puts her on the cart, then he pulls the cart to the rendezvous point.

Looking around, he sees many female creature corpses hanging in front of some houses. The griffin is feeling disgusting when he sees that. He is jealous when the Abyssian can actually sleep without knowing anything.

The griffin pulls the cart to a house and sees a brown griffin waving his claws at them. Gaze quickly runs to him. "Right. You are..." but the brown griffin puts his claw to Gaze's mouth and shakes his head. He looks around and waves his claw to lead Gaze to the hideaway.

Gaze follows him to a big house. Walking inside, he sees the hall is quite big while there are many rooms around. A pegasus is walking out and bows to them. "Oh, you are my master's friend, right?"

Gaze whispers to the brown griffin. "Are you trapping me?"

"No," whispers the griffin. "This is not my slave though, and this is not my house too."

"I see."

The pegasus leads the other to the living room and tells that wait for her master to come here. Gaze carries Taco and puts her on the sofa as the Abyssian is still sleeping. Looking at the brown pegasus, Gaze asks. "So, can I know your name?"

The brown griffin asks. "You know Eldaro? That's my name."

"Liar." Gaze huffs. "Eldaro is a human... if I remember right, but I'm sure that he is not a griffin."

"oops. Your memory is quite ... crashed anywhere?" The griffin puts his claw on his forehead, cause Gaze slaps his claw away. The brown griffin shakes his head. "Anyway, the caribou that you are just talking to is our allies."

Gaze is going to talk more but he feels some familiar paws wrapping him. The griffin looks at the left and sees Taco is hugging tight. Gaze is going to push but seeing the Abyssian is cute, the griffin huffs and lets her hug him.

Eldaro shakes his head. "Careful. You don't want to make her angry."

"I don't know though." Gaze huffs and hugs the Abyssian. "Anyway, what is your plan?"

"I assume that she is still awake." Eldaro looks around to see if someone is here. The blue griffin gulps while stroking her fur. The brown one sighs. "Joke aside. We will wait for that blue caribou to discuss the plan. I will talk to Silver right now."

The blue griffin tilts his head, "Wait how you..."

Eldaro is attracted to the ring and starts to talk with it. Taco yawns and lies on Gaze's side as the blue griffin feels okay with this. Suddenly, Silver's voice is coming somewhere, making the duo stand up and look around. Eldaro closes the door and starts to talk. "You got the position."

Silver replies through the ring. "I got it. It's on my radar. It is quite disadvantage when we don't have any satellite in this world, and I can't cast spell directly like the original creature,"

"That's why some modern tactics will not useful here." Eldaro signs. "You know even humans have something that they wish for from robots, right?"

Silver giggles. "Right. Anyway, what if your caribou will not cooperate?"

"I have a plan B for that. Don't worry." Eldaro looks around. "Did you get the digging team?"

"Somehow Aria manages to recruit a lot of Diamond Dogs. I don't know how she can do that though."

"We can trust her." Eldaro smiles. "Honestly, this will be fun. Anyway, Sabrina will lead that digging team and I need you to go to Arkala."

"What for? That snowy city is that important?"

"I see Dainn is wasting the potential to do that. I will give you to capture that city, or at least, make Damn feel that Arkala city is important to him."

"Oh, I see. I think I can do it." Silver is going to switch the ring off. "Good luck in there, Eldaro."

"Good luck."

Eldaro shuts down the ring and turns back to the living room. He sees the blue caribou, Sky, is talking with Taco and Gaze as the air around is quite stressful. The brown griffin walks inside and starts the meeting.
