My name is Scythe, I'm a pegasus. Well I was, but now I'm a gryphon. I'm currently having problems pertaining to an identity crisis, and I figured telling my story might help me work out exactly what I am.

I mean, I am a gryphon, but does that make my time as a pony no longer true? Or am I a pony with just a gryphon form? What creature am I? Does it even matter?

I just don't understand why someone in the Equestrian government did this to me. A simple everyday pony sent out for such a strange mission. It also seems like somepony there has a grudge against gryphons in general.

I'd best start from the beginning
