As the light died down I took a look at my new surroundings; a forest clearing not unlike the one I use as my training ground, five creatures that looked like griffons, and what appeared to be a light blue unicorn with a darker shaded mane and a rip-off wizard cloak and hat with stars embroidered on them. "Where am I? This isn't my training ground." Ignoring me the unicorn said, "There, Trixie has brought you a great warrior just as Trixie said she would, now I believe you have something for Trixie." I looked at the unicorn named Trixie with confusion. "Great warrior? No you must be mistaken, I am no warrior. Also on a side note, could you stop referring to yourself in the third person, it's giving me a headache." "You dare speak to The Great and Powerful Trixie that way! You shall pay for your insolence." "Great and Powerful huh, All you did was drag me from my world to... wherever the hell this is." "You insolent worm, you have no idea how powerful The Great and Powerful Trixie is. Here let me give you a taste." With that said Trixie began to fire strange beams from her horn, not wanting to find out what those beams do I began dodging them and deflecting them with my Tanto. Just as I was about to strike Trixie, the lead griffon intervened "Enough! Trixie we thank you for bringing us this warrior, here is the ruby you were promised." Turning to me he said "As for you, you will be coming with us." "I will not be going anywhere, you drag me from my home and expect me to listen to your orders, ha fat chance, you have no control over me." "Is that so? Well then, so be it." With that he struck the back of my neck faster than I could register and rendered me unconscious.
Time Lapse 25 Minutes
What felt like hours was only minutes as I was being shook awake by a griffon with a scar going across his chest. "Wake up warrior." Finally opening my eyes I tried to move my hands to rub my eyes but found they were bound to a post above my head. "What the hell is going on here?! Why am I here?" "You are here because you hold information we want plus once you begin to obey you shall be sent to work against those damn ponies." "Those ponies have done nothing to me and as such I shall not help you in any way." "We'll see about that." With that he left me alone in my cell, taking a moment to look around the room I saw it was a simple stone cell, metal door, barred window, yup just your standard holding cell. Sighing I looked at the ropes holding me, they looked to be old and worn out, with enough force I could break them. Struggling against the rope I pulled my hands apart with all my might until the rope snapped. Walking to the door I found it was unlocked. "Strange, best to be on my guard never know if this was a simple mix up or a trap." Crouching low I slowly made my way out of the cell looking in both directions to see if the coast was clear. Seeing no griffons I made my escape, slowly passing the rows of cells until something in one of them caught my eye. It was what appeared to be a red Pegasus with a maroon mane quietly sobbing in the corner of the cell, looking around I quickly broke the lock with a swift kick from my steel toed boots and freed the Pegasus. "Come on I don't have all day, we need to get out of here." Nodding she stood up and began to follow me. Looking around, I spotted a wooden door, guessing this was the way out I opened it, only to come face to beak with about twenty griffons. "Uh, well I can safely say that shit just hit the fan." Turning around I picked up the Pegasus and quickly ran up the stairs to my left. I didn't stop, I just kept running until I came to an open window. Looking out the window I saw we were close to the top of a large castle. I set the Pegasus down before asking, "Can you fly?" Nodding her head she spread her wings. "Good, fly until you get to safety." Nodding she flew out the window, turning my attention to the approaching sound of claws on stone I took up a defensive stance and prepared for the fight ahead.
