The psychotic gentlegriff

Anubis was walking through the passageways he had made, following this mare’s scent through the walls. She had entered a castle restroom witch gave Anubis the perfect opportunity.

He ignited his claws with a green aura and the walls slowly began to open, then he fed a small pipe through and released a nerve agent to incapacitate her.

“Wha!? Cough!* cough* Who’s there….”

Thud*

“Sleep well, bitch.”

Putting on a gas mask Anubis completely opened up the wall and found the blackmailing mare out cold. Picking her up he took her back to the main observation room as he called it. By the time another pony would use the restroom, all traces of him or the noble mare would be gone including the gas.

20 minutes later the mare woke up but she quickly began to panic as she was strapped to a table and the griffon that the princess had been seen with was grinning grimly at her.

Her mind froze at the sight of him, he was in a black and red suit spinning a scalpel around in his claws but the show stopper was that he was completely fine. She had been told that he had most of his fur and feathers burnt off but there he was completely fine with a sinister gleam in his eyes.

“W-Where am I?!”

“Oh don’t be scared now, after all you bought this upon yourself…. But if you must know, you’re at death’s doorstep…. I should ask you if you have any last words but I frankly don’t care, so I’m going to remove your voice box now.”

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH PLEASE D!!!!!!!”

Anubis grabbed her muzzle and slowly began to cut into her throat, exactly where her vocal cords were. He took his time, insuring that the cuts were perfect. He used his magic to open up the incision and he carefully began to remove them.

Looking into the mare’s eyes he could see pain, regret and hatred but there was another emotion. One that soothed his very soul…. Fear, he felt so alive seeing this mare suffering, he loved it and he wasn’t done yet.

“Now that I don’t have to listen to your voice, the real fun can begin.” He picked up a glass vile that contained a green glowing liquid, the mare’s eyes widened in terror as he popped the cap and took a syringe. He filled the needle with the substance and injected it into her, she tried to break free but it was hopeless. She could feel something happening to her body but it didn’t hurt…. In fact the sensation of feeling stop completely.

When she looked down at herself, panic took hold of her. Her lower half was melting and bubbling, even the bones were being dissolved and she couldn’t feel a thing.

“Wow that’s interesting…. But you can’t feel it can you?” At this point tears were streaming from what was left of her but he didn’t care. She had tried to blackmail the most selfless mare in Equestria.

“Anubis!! Are you here?! Hello!!” He completely froze at the sound of Silverfeather’s voice, he was about to end the mare’s life but stopped upon being caught in the act.

“ANUBIS?!? Oh my gosh! What are you doing? you…. You….” Silver began to hyperventilate from the shock, Anubis pulled a small L shaped tool and pointed it at what was left of the pony on his table.

BANG!*

“Aaaaargh!” Silver ducked and was reduced to a sobbing ball on the floor. Anubis approached her using his magic to clean himself off of the brain matter that splattered on him.

“Silver are you okay?”

“GET AWAY FROM ME!!!” Anubis stopped in his tracks. “Please don’t hurt m-me, I’m begging you.”

“What are you saying? I’d never hurt you, I love you with all of my heart.”

“No! You’re a murderer, you’re evil Anubis! You don’t have a heart! How could you do something so horrible and not even feel bad?!?”

“Sigh* I-I don’t know…. I’ll probably never know but Silver what you saw here was a one off? That noble deserved it….””

“I…. Love you but…. no creature deserves that! What even is that! She’s turning into goo…. Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t turn you in?!?”

“Silver? You heard me, she deserved it.”

“What are you saying? You know what I’m turning you in because I love you, You need help!”

Don’t do this, look I know I’m a bit messed up but what will your parents think? They’ll never let you near me ever again, we’ll never see each other again.”

“I want you to promise me that you’ll never do anything like this ever again, then!”

“How about we compromise? I’ll only kill those who deserve it, like rapists and really bad criminals and you can come with me when i leave Canterlot to work on another project I have planned.”

“I…. I don’t know, I mean you murdered a pony!”

“But she was a bad pony.”

“Two wrongs don’t make a right Anubis.”

“….well.”

“Don’t even.”

“Okay, so do we have a deal?”

“You promise not to hurt anycreature that doesn’t deserve it?”

“I promise.”

“Sigh* Look I-I need to think about this, it’s a lot to take in…. Um where did the blood go? You were covered in it?”

“Magic.”

“Don’t be stupid….” Her words died when Anubis began cleaning up the deceased body up off the operating table.

“See, magic my dear.”

“I think I’m going to throw up, gag!* gag*”

“Yeah it’s very unpleasant but therapeutic.”

“HOW!?”

“I had a fucked up life so I’m used to this, it’s a bit too mundane for me to not see blood or dismembered corpses.”

“How did i fallen for a psycho?”

“Well it’s pretty obvious dear I’m sexy, if you want I could show you what I do to calm down?”

“Sigh* you know what, yeah why not. I mean it can’t be that bad.” She pointed at the now clean table.

“Here.” Anubis gave her a knife and she looked at him with trepidation.

“Um what do I do with this?”

“Just watch.” His claws began to glow green and the pile of fleshy goo began to take form into a griffon. A rotten griffon, bits of flesh were falling off it.

“Oh my goodness, how?”

“Doesn’t matter how, now go and stab it. Don’t worry it’s not alive, there’s no soul. It’s just a body.” Silverfeather looked at him in surprise and curiosity with a bit of horror, Anubis had just made a zombie and now she’d get to kill it.

She thought about the books that she would read about a noble knight fighting hordes of the undead, trying to defeat the evil necromancer and save the princess. She always wanted to be the knight.

“Wait Anubis who did you kill?”

“Some noble bitch name Silver Blood, why?”

“As in lady Silver Blood, we need to find a way to fix this! Oh no oh no oh no, this is bad.”

“Why is this bad?”

“She’s one of Canterlots highest ranking nobles!”

“I remember what she looks like, so it’s not a problem.” The zombie griffon began to change back into a complete form of the mare and Silver fell on her rump, dropping the knife.

“This is fucking insane….”

“Thank you my dear, I do try.” Anubis kissed her on the cheek.

———————————————————————

“Princess Celestia, I’m pleased to say that todays been a very good day. Wouldn’t you agree?”

“Yes it has Sir…. Prince Upper Class.”

“This new bill that has allowed my esteemed family to become royalty is just splendid.”

“Y-yes it is but remember that you gain no power from this.”

“Yes yes I understand that it is in title alone but I must be going now, got a function to attend. By any chance do you know where my wife has gotten off to?”

“Can’t say that I do but I’m sure she’s somewhere in the castle.”

“I’ll go look for her then, oh and good bye princess. I hope you enjoy the rest of the day.”

“I’ll try….”

Celestia was walking down the hall when Silver Blood bumped into her. “Oh sorry your highness, I didn’t see you there. I’d love to chat but I’ve got to find my husband, ta ta.”

“Well he just went down that way, I believe he might be heading to the gardens looking for you.”

“Thanks your highness.”

“Good by p-princess Silver blood….” Calling that mare by that title made her sick but there wasn’t much she could do.

She continued on her way to take a nap like Anubis had requested of her.

Meanwhile Anubis and Silverfeather hid behind a corner, they were shocked to hear Celestia address that mare as a princess. They quickly retreated to his room by taking an improvised shortcut.

“Anubis what have you done, she was royalty.”

“Well I’ve saved Equestria. Now I have control over a large portion of the nobles, that means less headaches for Celestia. oh this is good.”

“Anubis!”

“What?”

“But won’t somepony notice that she’s acting different?”

“Nah because she thinks she’s alive but doesn’t know that she’s hasn’t even got a soul, she’s just a carcass that thinks it is Lady Silver Blood…. Or princess and don’t worry, she won’t expose us because I control it.”

“This is crazy, no book I’ve ever read has there ever been anything like this. I should write this down, yes a story about a princess being replaced with a fake and an evil master mind pulling the strings.”

“Please don’t because if you do the citizens of Equestria might think that it’s real.”

“No they wouldn’t, would they?”

“You’d be surprised, anyway what are you doing because Celestia should be here any second now.”

“I’m going to be joining you but was it really necessary to set yourself on fire.”

“Yes it was my dear, this has to look authentic.”

“Why don’t you just tell Celestia that you can heal yourself and change your form at will.”

“Hahahah! Because…. Look I don’t need to and it’s better this way. The less creatures who know, the better.”

“Are you scared that she might be disgusted by you?”

“No…. Anyway let’s go, I can hear Celestia coming.”

“Sigh* what ever you say, just don’t lie to yourself Anubis.” She kissed him and went out to greet a stressed Alicorn, Anubis shook his head and followed.

“Silver! Anubis! How’s the day been?”

“Fairly quiet, well except Silver here fussing over my health.”

“I have not been fussing over you! Anyway how’s the day been going Celestia?”

“Heheheh stressful but nothing I can’t handle…. Anubis I know I said that I’d take a nap with you but…. I have to go through the monthly tax papers today and there’s a lot to get done.”

“I’ll help you with it and then you can take a nap.”

“But.” Silverfeather cut her off.

“That sounds good, so I’ll be joining you two but not with the tax thingy.”

“Why not? It’ll be good for you to learn now instead of later and based on your performance I might reward you.”

“Heheheh…. Okay I’m a little bit more willing to learn.”

“Good and Celestia, I’m not soft and fluffy at the moment but Silver is an amazing substitute.”

“Mhmmmm I guess but what if I want to cuddle with both of you?”

“By all means, don’t you agree Nimrod.”

“Wha? stop calling me Nim!?!?!?” Anubis picked her up by the scruff of her neck and she fell silent.

He started walking towards Celestia’s room with a blushing hen in his jaws. Celestia caught up to him and giggled at the look on Silver’s face. She then began tracing the suit that Anubis was in with her eyes and involuntarily flicked him with her tail.

“Sorry Celestia but not today.”

“Eeeep* I wasn’t asking!”

Anubis raised an eyebrow. “You flick me with your tail.”

“I didn’t mean to.”

“Mhmmmokaaay.”

“….I really like the suit….”

“Sigh* you’re being awkward, stop…. And don’t think just because I said no, that I don’t love you…. As soon as I’m all healed up, I will have my revenge.”

Both Silver and Celestia’s wing shot up, Silver’s hit Anubis’s chest and he giggled. “You two have filthy minds…. Ah hi Glacier, looking good.”

“Um you’re looking….”

“Spooky? Yeah I know.”

“So um why are you carrying Silverfeather around like that?”

“She likes it.”

“I do not! Put me down…. In a minute or two.”

“Oh so you do like it.”

“I-it’s comfortable….”

“You two are so cute.”

“Thanks.”

“Anubis please put her down.”

“FiNE!!!!” Celestia nipped his ear and he dropped Silver.

Thud*

“Ouch you idiot! That…. Oooohh so that’s your weakness.”

Now Anubis was on the defensive. “Hey ladies let’s not get any ideas now, remember I’m injured…. Celestia? Silver? Glacier help me?”

“Yeah about that…. I’m on break in 3… 2… 1… have fun you three.”

“Please…. Be gentle….”

2 hours later, Celestia was humming away doing paperwork whilst Anubis and Silver snoozed in her bed. She originally would have loved some help but after she discovered his weakness, she couldn’t resist.

To think that his big fluffy ears were so sensitive, he basically buckled when she and Silver pinned him down and began to nibble, nip and nuzzle them.

Silver began to stir, this caught Celestia attention. Stumbling out of bed She lazily made her way to the Alicorn’s side, leaning against her.

“Why are you awake so soon Silver?”

“I’m struggling to sleep, there’s a lot on my mind….”

“Do you want to talk about it?”

“Y-yeah I would…. Sigh* I want to know about his past, I need to know why he doesn’t see death in the same light as everycreature else.”

“Oh…. Well have you asked him yourself?”

“Celestia he’s not going to tell me, he made that obvious when my parents asked him.”

“F-fine you deserve to know but I warn you that it’s not anything as simple as a bad childhood or awful parents…. It’s a lot worse.”

“I need to know.”

“….Okay…. Please take a seat but don’t say I didn’t warn you Silver.” She sat down and Celestia wrapped a wing around her.

“So Anubis’s past is a unpleasant topic for him and I believe that he’s trying to ignore it, which isn’t the right way of handling it but I don’t want to try and force him into facing it either.”

“But if it will help him, then he should do it.

“Sigh* he doesn’t believe that it will help Silver.”

“So he’s scared?”

“Maybe but I think there’s more to it.”

“So why is he covered in gruesome scars?”

“….He was foalnapped as a cub…. and experimented on, with others of his own kind…. He’s stated that he’s been forced to commit cannibalism, he’s been cut open, dissected and made to kill….”

“That’s horrible. Who would do something so evil…. And I guess that explains a lot about him….”

Celestia looked at Silver in shock. “What do you mean?”

“Sigh* he doesn’t see murder in the same way we do…. What we call murder is just an aspect of life to him, I mean imagine going from that to this.” She gestured to everything.

“Sigh* I’ve thought of this too but I’m sure Anubis will adjust fine…. I hope.”

“Do you know of any other times he’s…. Killed, other than when he saved me?”

“….Yes…. The first time I saw him, he was so small and thin but when I found him. He was scared, angry and tearing apart a dead pony. That pony was a very bad pony who foalnapped him and a bunch of other foals who are still dealing with the trauma…. But I didn’t just see fear and hatred in his eyes…. There was satisfaction….”

“Satisfaction? But why? Why would taking a life bring him satisfaction?”

“I-I don’t know but I believe that it has to do with the individuals pasts that brings him satisfaction. I think he wouldn’t kill anypony or griffon who is innocent but I’d prefer that he doesn’t bloody his claws any more than he already has.”

“I think that he’ll be fine, he just needs us to help him learn right from wrong.”

“Yes. I believe that’s a good idea Silver, we’ll help him get better.”

“Sigh* I hope but look on the bright side, he understands what yes and no means….”

“Heheheheh yes that is a good thing but….”

“No. I know what you’re thinking and it’s wrong.”

“I was just thinking out loud and don’t even deny it, I know you’ve thought about it before.”

“So what if I have, it doesn’t change that it’s wrong.”

“But just think about it, would you say no to him if he pinned you down?”

“….well…. Um it depends.”

“On what?”

“That doesn’t matter Celestia.”

“Well I know I wouldn’t.”

“You have issues, no offence.”

“None taken but when you’ve never been over powered or dominated in any way, shape or form. You tend to want that and Anubis can give me that…. At first I liked his brashness and company but then he had a growth spurt and apparently he’s still growing…. According to Dr Tender.”

“Celestia you don’t have to justify anything to me, I just have a different outlook on that stuff.”

“But Anubis is my special somegriff and the thought of being chased by a powerful predator like him, excites me….” Celestia covered her muzzle and blushed, Silver smirked.

“So that’s what you’re really into, wow to think the all powerful princess of the sun has a predator-pray kink.”

“Ssssshhhh Silver, not so loud.”

“But if you just tell him then he’ll probably say yes to something like that.”

“But what if he thinks I’m weird.”

“Sigh* I don’t know but how’s he meant to please you if he doesn’t know what you want?”

“He’s smart, I’m sure he’ll figure it out eventually.”

“Okay well I’m gonna go back to bed, please wake me when it’s lunchtime.”
