Chapter 17.5 Equestria Daily

***Equestria Daily papers***

If you haven't heard of him then you have been under a rock for the past week. There have been two new additions to the royal guard this week nothing out of the ordinary, But not these two. These two new guards are Not I repeat Not ponies. But are called Humans. These new Humans have earned the Princesses favor already as their personal life guards. The humans must have made an Incredible impression on the princesses to reach that position on first encounter. From sources from Ponyville the humans are fearless warriors that are revered amongst the village as heroes.

A statement made by the local mayor tells all as the human By the name Commander Crimson Phoenix who is the life guard of princess Luna. At first encounter with pony civilization Crimson risked his own life and beat back an ENTIRE pack of Timberwolves. A very humble pony the towns ponies commented that he never asked for recognition and did it out of the goodness of his heart. The second Human by the name Commander Dawn Fury is the life guard off our beloved princess Celestia. the towns ponies said that he has a dark brown skin with no mane unlike his "Quote on Quote" Brother. He is described as a very social friendly and charismatic speaker.

We sat down with an interview with the mayor of ponyville she said that one of the most heroic deeds done by the humans was that they stormed a diamond dog cave and confronted the diamond dogs that had kidnapped a few citizens of ponyville who we shall keep anonymous. The humans rescued the kidnapped ponies and brought them back safely to their families.

An expert in Anthropology by the name of Lyra heartstrings gave us very detailed information about the humans in person. She said "Anthony (Crimson Phoenix and James (Dawn Fury) are warriors from their own homeworld. They are bound by a code of brother in arms where they are honor bound as seen as brother even tho they share no relations. The humans are very friendly if approached with good hearted intents but are no pushovers." and that leads us into last nights event

Last night if you've heard the princesses were ATTACKED! by a group of gryphons with unknown origins if it was a government controlled attack or a fanatic group is still unknown but the royal guard are still investigating. However while we don't know why the gryphons attack the humans were ready and used their own bodies as shield to protect the Princesses from the incoming bolts. All the shocked party guests commented that the humans didn't hesitate a second to protect our rulers and looked death fearless in the eye and death blinked.

The human known as Commander Dawn Fury was mortally wounded while Commander Crimson Phoenix stood his ground and single hoof ingly took out an entire battle squad of gryphons. witnesses described Crimson Phoenix in fighting characteristics as a being with titanic strength to rival the magic off All the princesses combined. Unfortunately the night ended with the Gryphon leader responsible for leading the assault against Celestia to (If you are young reader stop reading at this point) perished at the hooves of Commander Crimson Phoenix. But he wasn't the only casualty A phoenix by the name of Inferno by an anonymous source said that the Phoenix sacrificed his life to save the seriously injured Human Dawn Fury. Rumors speculate that he is still alive and well.

Comments by friends and acquaintances who do not wish to be anonymous.

Twilight sparkle: Anthony (Crimson Phoenix) Is a lovable Po- Person. He is a courageous person that since his arrival Ponyville and all of equestria has been safer due to his presence. James (Dawn Fury) Is also a lovable pony a man who always help everyone out of the goodness of his heart and nothing else.

Rarity: First thing Anthony did was to save my little sister when she was attacked by the timberwolves. Although I don't agree with his methods he still did put himself in harms way to protect those who can't protect themselves and I am very grateful for saving my poooor Sweetie belle! (Note: The pony couldn't continue the interview due to her dramatic crying)

Rainbow dash: Anthony and James are cool enough to hang out with me, but in a race I would totally kick their flanks. But if I had anything special to say about either of them is that Dawn Fury is sooo much cooler than Anthony did you know he could bench press 310 pounds?!

Applejack:Mah family and I are very thankful for everything Anthony and James have done for Ponyville. I only wish we could repay them for all they've done. They never ask for thanks or any sort of recognition and Ah respect that.

Fluttershy: eeep.- (Note: The pony was to shy to talk to us and we moved on)

Pinkie pie:OhmygoshJamesismybestestfriendandheydoyoulikepartiesIloveparties..(Note: The pony would not cooparate with us)

Ditzy doo: Anthony and James saved my daughter Amethyst. I...I Don't know how I will ever be able to thank them. If it weren't for them I..I don't know what I would do. They have my fullest support and they are my friends. (Note: We had to cut the interview short because we had to comfort the crying mare. She took a short break and returned with this statement): But what makes me like Anthony the most is that he, out of his own generous heart payed for a music tutor for my daughter Dinky who got her cutie mark for playing the violin.

Cheerilee:James and Anthony saved my sisters and three of my students. Anthony presented himself to my students in my class and they all loved him and wish for him to come back they ask me everyday if he can come in for another show and tell class.

Fancy pants:I didn't meet the other human but I did meet Commander Crimson Phoenix and he was a very polite and nice pony. I would definitely invite him to one of my gatherings, if he wasnt so busy protecting the princesses. I especially take a liking to him because he saved the life of one of my closest friends from one of the gryphons that attacked during the grand galloping gala.
