Another Chance at Life
Chapter 60: 60. A Big Problem
Previous Chapter Next ChapterA/N: here we go again! Another arc, this one will be a good one I can assure you. I will be having chapters and some of them will be of only one character, but on the chapters when there is a switch I will do a break like *****K*****, *****R*****, etc… This chapter is just going to be of Kyle, just to get things rolling, let’s see where this goes shall we? On with the chapter!
I was starting to get pretty bored with the endless flying and nothing to do. BOOORRRIINNGG!!! I want something interesting to happen now! That or I want to get to Stalliongrad! Luck must have been on my side, because I saw Stalliongrad in the distance. From what I could see it looked to be a city that relied heavily on resources, seeing as smoke was pouring out of chimneys across the city.
I could also see in the mountains of Grydon in the distance. They were massive in size and I was a little intimidated by that. I am so glad that I do not have to go there! I don’t even know how the griffons would take me; they probably would just kill me! I stopped thinking about that and landed on a trail. I started to walk towards the industrial city and I could smell the smoke from here. Smells like the twisted steel of industry! YUM YUM! *insert sarcastic voice here*
After a little bit of walking I found myself feeling like I was being followed. I turned around and didn’t see anything, so I shrugged and continued walking. I am starting to get concerned for this place, it seems intimidating, and not to mention it looks like a dump! I looked on the sides of the trail and saw that garbage was strewn about everywhere, not a lot, but enough to make you wonder what is going on here.
I stopped when I saw something shining on the side of the trail. I walked over and picked it up, it was a small mirror. I thought it looked kind of cool, there was nothing wrong with the glass and I thought the border was pretty cool. It looked kind of like an eye and it had a red border. I looked into it and saw my reflection and smiled, and then it turned to a frown when I saw something behind me. OH SHIT SON, what in the hell is that!?
I turned around and saw a griffon standing a few feet away from me. He was wearing a black bandana and had on a black vest as well. There was a strap on his side and attached to it was a curved blade, it gleamed in the dull light of the sun. What a surprise! A bandit or at least that is what I am hoping it is. I think I am going to start shitting bricks soon!
The griffon whistled and soon it was accompanied by 3 others all dressed in the same attire as the first. I was silently wishing I would disappear and they were all looking at me like I was an enemy. The 3 others all had different weapons than the first. There was a scrawny one that had metal claws, they looked pretty nasty. Then there was the stout one that had a flail type thing, also disturbing, and the one that looked most like the first one I met, he had a long sword.
I was looking at them with a mixture of fear and mock confidence. Why are they looking at me like this? Do they have a valid reason, or are they going to beat the shit out of me then leave laughing at the fact that they did so. I tried to be nice and I wanted to talk to them like they weren’t about to pound me into a pulp. “Hello”
“Shut up, you have no right to talk to us. You are wanted by the Grydon officials for being a potential threat to the Griffon race” The first one spat out at me like the words were acid.
“Why!? I’m still in Equestrian territory and you have no right to talk to me like that! How can you think I’m a threat, you haven’t seen me for more than 5 minutes!” I said to him in just an aggravated tone. Fuck them and their scary weapons! I am not a bad guy!
“Does it look like we care!? Now are you going to come with us and accept your fate, or are we going to have to force you to go?” The griffon said to me in a tone that all but screamed ‘I want you to resist’. They are going to try to take me into griffon territory? Nope, not going….EVER!
“I’m not going with you when there is no valid reason as to why I should” I said to them with a cold tone. I was watching them as they took off their weapons, except the one with the sharp metal talons, and throw them on the ground.
“You want to disobey, we don’t take too kindly to things that disobey our orders” the first griffon said before flaring his wings and shooting off towards me.
I managed to dodge him, but he stopped right after he got past me and turned around hand grabbed my back with his claws. I reached around back and grabbed his claws and then proceeded to jump into the air and do a somersault, sending the griffon into the ground after flipping over me. His talons never stopped gripping until he hit the dirt, so it was extremely painful. I hate you griffons already; you make me want to set fire to school houses! Mother of god, this is more painful than…..well its painful!
I backed up and could feel the wounds on my back start to ooze freely. I winced as I moved my shoulders and then got ready for the next one, but the first got up again and charged. I jumped up right as he got close and thrust my feet out sideways and connected with his face. He flew back and landed on the ground, his beak dripping with blood. He stood back up and wiped his beak and glared at me. Oh shit, what is he going to do now? Just leave me alone you rats with wings!
He flew up to me and I didn’t have time to react before he picked me up by my head with his claw and walked me over to a nearby tree. He pushed me up against it and then started to repeatedly punch my stomach and chest with his free claw. This…Ouch….Is…..Shit….The….Worst….Ow….Pain….EVER!!! I’m going to get beaten to an inch of my life by some low level thugs! Life sucks!
I got pounded in the chest for a good 5 minutes before he released my head and I fell to the ground coughing up blood. I spit on the ground and the crimson liquid covered the dirt and grass. I turned my head and looked at him. He smiled a cold smile at me and then swung his leg out and it connected with the side of my head. I flew a few feet away from him and landed on the ground with a thud. Shit, here comes his finishing move! Finish him!
I watched as he walked over to me again and knelt down to my face “The high officials of Grydon will be deciding what happens to you. If it was my choice, I’d just kill you here and now, but for now…” He punched my face with his claw again and laughed.
Eeeyup, going to pass out. I can feel it like I felt that! I am in so much shit right now; it’s up to my eyeballs! I looked at him and then smiled “Fuck you.” I passed out after I said that.
The griffon picked the unconscious Kyle up and set him on his back. Then he walked over to the others and signaled that it was time to head back. “C’mon, we have him. Let’s head back to Gri’Shul and tell the general we have him.”
When I came to I was in a new place I have never seen before since my time here….a dungeon. I was in the center of a medium sized room and I was tied to a wooden pole. Great, where is the guy that is going to torture me? I can only hope that he just kills me and saves me the trouble. I guess I won’t be home in a day or 2 Dash!
I stood there and waited and just when I was going to scream I heard a door open. I looked over and saw a very large griffon walking towards me and he didn’t look happy. Geez, nice to meet you too!
I put on a smile which only soured his mood more. He walked right up to me and slapped my face hard with his claw. Seeing as it was a claw, he scratched me as well. He leaned in real close to my face “You are in a whole mess of trouble you freak.”
HE JUST CALLED ME A FREAK!!! That bitch, imma slap a griffon in a second if he keeps up! Wait, I can’t slap anything when I’M TIED TO A POLE!!! ARGH! I glared at him in anger “Yeah, and how so? I have been brought here on false terms; I was on another provinces land. I never did anything wrong, so you can take your orders and shove them up your own ass!” I said as I started to practically foam at the mouth.
The griffon smiled at me coldly “Ha, you are really funny. WE don’t care if there are boundaries separating out provinces. You go too close, we see you as a threat that needs to be detained, so we captured you. You can’t do anything about it. We don’t like seeing a freak like you close to our borders, and you were a threat to us from the start. So now it is up to the high order to decide your fate, but as of now you are going to be held here” The griffon said before slapping me again, in the same spot.
I could feel the cuts dripping out blood and I looked at him “You can’t hold me in here forever. When my friends find out I’ve been gone for so long they will come looking for me” I said to him with a smile. He doesn’t know that I have telekinesis yet. That is a good thing on my part!
He laughed at me “It will probably be too late for them. You’ll be dead, and there won’t be anything they can do.” He walked back towards the door and then turned around and smiled “Welcome too your new home.”
I stood there as he left and thought about what to do. Ok, if I can manage to get out of this dungeon, I can try to make it or break it out of here. If I do that, how will I find my way back to Equestria? Do I even still have my bag? I looked around the room and saw my bag sitting on a table with the contents all scattered about on it. Ok, everything’s there. If I do get out of here, I guess I can gust start wandering around until I find some sort of spot to hold down in until I figure out what to do. I smiled at myself at the thought of breaking out of jail again. Ah, just like old times!
A/N: This was the first part of the new arc. I am already interested in this one a lot. I have a lot planned for it, so it might be longer than 10 chapters of this arc. I may have another chapter up by tonight, but if not, tomorrow morning. Hope you will like what’s to come!
