I was standing in the waiting room to meet with the princess, drinking a surprisingly lovely tea before a guard came up to me.

“Mam Its your turn to meet the Princess.” He said when he got a bit closer.

"Thank you" I said, getting up from my seat. I walked into the throne room to see Princess Celestia talking to a guard.

"Are you sure about that, Princess?" The guard asked.

She looked at me for a moment before turning back to the guard "We will talk about this later with Princess Twilight" she said before turning her attention to me "Hello, It's rare we get a Griffon in court what can I help you with?" she asked.

"Yes, somebody I know was killed on your soil and I need your permission to bring them justice" I said partly lying. I almost broke down with laughter when I saw her look of pure shock.

"Of course you have permission to bring them to justice. Let my guards help you, but if I may, who is the killer?" she asked as I smiled.

"You."

I slammed my talons down making two tiles next to me to fly up before punching the air. The tiles flew towards Celestia but were quickly blocked before they could hit her. She retaliated by sending a magical bolt which I blocked with another tile.

"Your going to need to try harder to kill me this time.”I said, getting ready for another attack.

But before I could even begin, I was shot out the room into the gardens.

"Okay... that was a good shot" I said as I got up. When I finally arose, I noticed my leg was twisted. Looking around, I saw a fountain near-by. Coming up with a plan, I limped to the fountain. As soon as I arrived at the fountain, I was surrounded by guards.

"Freeze we have you surrounded. Surrender!" A guard shouted as I waved my talons. Water flowed out of the fountain onto my talons and made my talons glow before I placed my glowing talon on my leg. The guards looked at me in confusion, not really sure on what to do.

"Let's go" i said, taking a long breath and exhaling fire, burning the guards. Some of them ran into the fountain to put out the fire, others just started rolling around on the ground.

"What's the matter? To hot to handle?" I quipped as I flew back into the palace to find Celestia, only to find her in a suit of golden armor.

'really wish I knew how to metalbend right now' i thought to myself as I was hit by a magical bolt to my back

"Sister, I saw this griffon attacking... why are you in armor?" Luna asked, flying down to the hole in the wall.

"I will explain later but right now we need to contain this griffon before she escapes" Celestia said. Luna nodded in response and looked down to see the griffon escaping.

"Since when were there two of them?" I asked to myself as I ran towards the walls. A magical bolt hit the ground near me, I would have shouted something back but I was busy running away to fight another day.

"Get back here!" Luna shouted while I turned around to launch a fire ball at her. Thankfully, it hit her. As she fell to the ground I grabbed a near-by pony.

"Let me go, or I kill her!" I shouted as Luna looked at me with a look of hatred. Clearly thinking I was bluffing, she tried to take a step forward. Only to end up being stopped by Celestia.

"Stand down" Celestia said to her guards. They backed down quickly as I walked into a stone wall.

"Now let her go." She ordered, seeing no reason to let this drag on, I let the hostage go before pounding the wall behind me and flying off.

A guard looked at Celestia and asked "shall we pursue her?"

Celestia looked at the guard "No by the time we ready a squad to follow her she will already be far gone, Instead send a messenger to Ponyville and gather Twilight and the council of friendship" she said as the guards looked at her confused.

"Its what the former Elements of Harmony are calling themselves" she explained as the guards looked even more confused "Just go" she ordered. The guard ran to gather some pegasi to fly to Ponyville.

An hour later
"Okay I think I lost them" I said as I landed, "Assuming she sent guards after me."

"Where am I?" I asked, looking around me for a familiar landmark, only to see nothing but unfamiliar terrain. I tried to stretch my wings but the sudden pain from overusing them forced me to close them again.

"Okay wont be flying for a while. Sure would be nice to have a giant dog or a six legged bison around" I said to nobody in particular.

I closed my eyes to sense near-by hoofsteps and I found a large concentration of them to the south of me which meant I was hopefully far away from Canterlot. Luckily for me Canterlot was to the west of here I could see the mountain from here so I started walking towards the town with nothing to lose.

Meanwhile Twilight PoV
We got off the train to be greeted by a group of royal guards.

"Twilight Sparkle, you and your friends must come with us" one of the guards said as we all followed him.

After a short walk we made it to the Palace throne room where I saw a hole in the glass window "What happened" I asked myself as I walked to the princesses "Prin- Celestia what happened here?" I asked.

Luna looked at Celestia before Celestia responded, "I will explain what happened soon but for now we need to head to the meeting room."

I nodded as we walked to the meeting room where some maids where finishing placing chairs.

"So what was with the hole in the wall?" Rainbow asked as we all looked at her.

"Rainbow Darling that is no way to ask... but In all honesty, why was your window broken?" Rairty asked.

"An hour ago, a griffon attacked me using abilities to control fire, earth and water." Celestia said. I gasped in astonishment while my friends looked at each other, confused.

"How could a griffon do these things?" I asked.

"Have any of you ever heard of Zehire the Executioner?" Celestia asked to everyponies confusion.

I raised my hoof "You taught me about him when I was your student, but what does that have to do with this?" I asked.

"Well I haven't told you everything about him, as he too had the these abilities and I believe they are connected via reincarnation" Celestia said as I tilted my head.

"How are you sure?" I asked.

"Simple they both referenced a similar event" she said as she clears her throat "600 years ago, there where some calls for aid at several border towns that a creature was attacking them when I got there I encountered a Bipedal creature whom could control fire and earth, In a quick battle we sent it retreating into a cave where it fell into a small chasm and broke its neck. When we returned to the village where we found it, I learned that it wasn't the creature that was attacking the towns as the villagers only started seeing that creature that day." she explained "I took the creature back to Canterlot to have it examined but we couldn't find anything of note on it. Its almost as if it appeared out of thin air" She said.

"Do you still have anything on it?" I asked.

"Why yes I do in fact have something here" she said as she unrolled a scroll, I noticed something familiar about that diagram.

"Hey Twilight isn't that a..." Spike began.

"...A human" I finished as everypony looked at me funny.

"Whats a human?" everypony asked.

"Well they are kind of hard to explain." I said "Basically they are the inhabititants of the world beyond the mirror portal" I explained.

"I'll contact Sunset and ask if she has any info that could help us" I said before asking "Why did you ask for all of us when spike and I would have been enough?" I asked.

"Well that is simple I wanted to tell you all at the same time When we find this griffon I want the six of you to reform her" She said to our confusion.

"Sister, why? She attacked in the middle of day court!" Luna said.

"Simple her abilities could help the world similar to Discord" Celestia said.

"Alright princess, we wont fail you" I said.
