"Alright princess, we won't fail you," Twilight said as they all left for their individual rooms. Mostly to talk amongst each other in private.

"Alright sister. Why are you so adamant to redeem the griffon that attacked and one that you connect to what I hear was a brutal warrior and commander? Why would you want to redeem somepony that evil?" Luna asked. I took a deep breath, thinking my answer through carefully.

"To put it simply, It's the guilt of me killing it when it was human back then. It was a mistake that I want to make it right" I said. "When I think about it, I guess that's not the only reason. I wouldn't let guilt be my only reason after all. I believe that her abilities could be taught. If they can be then her abilities could be tremendously helpful for Equestria, now and in the future." I said. Luna raised an eyebrow at that.

"What it can't be taught?" Luna asked.

"Well, she could still use them to help."

"How?" Luna asked, still skeptical that a power like that could be used for good.

"Well, she could likely stop a volcano, move islands or something along those lines. We still do not know her full potential." I said.

"Really? Stop a volcano? Are you being serious with me Celestia?" Luna said in disbelief. I looked at her for a moment before continuing to walk the halls to discuss the subject further.

An hour passed as Celestia and Luna discussed what to do with the griffon when they capture her, but then a question came up "Sister how did you defeat Zehire?" Luna asked. Celestia gave it some thought as she had to remember the details. This fight happened roughly 600 years ago and so naturally, her memory of it had faded slightly.

It was raining at the time we got to the battlefield. Zehire was waiting for use with his troops.

"So you came yourself," he said as his troops got into position.

"Yes I came to stop you personally," I said, my troops moving to battle positions.

"Just as you did last time we met," he said throwing me off.

"We've never met," I said coldly. He just smirked.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night," He said before he started turning in a circle. The raindrops gathered into a large blob of water floating above him before launching shards of ice from it. I managed to dodge the shards and retaliated with a magical bolt.

He blocked it by turning the ball of water into ice.

"So this is the 'legendary' power of the Sun Princess? I'm not impressed. ATTACK!" he shouted as the zebras behind him ran onto the field.

"Troops, advance!" I ordered. my army ran on to meet the zebras in combat as I cast another magical bolt at him, catching him off guard and knocking him to the ground a few meters behind himself. As he got up, he slammed his hoof down causing a slab of earth to rise beside me, which I dodged by going into the air. As the slab flew below me I thought to myself,

'Wasn't that creature capable of magic like this?' I pushed the thought to the back of my mind, moving to deal with the problem at hoof.

As the battle continued, the zebras were being pushed back from the battle and I was beginning to beat Zehire down but as the battle raged on, he tried more tricks. One such trick was taking the air out of my lungs, which would have killed me if a nearby soldier hadn't attacked Zehire, knocking his concentration off and giving me just enough time to escape. I wish I could say the same about the soldier but he had his head cut off by a shard of ice. The battle was nearly done as Zehire laid on the ground.

"It's over. You've lost" I said. However, instead of surrendering or shouting obscenities, he just chuckled.

"I still have one last trick that will guarantee that this war won't end anytime soon," He said as he struggled to move his hooves, I flew into the air not of my own power but as a puppet by his movements.

"W-what are you doing?" I asked, unable to even use my magic to get out of there.

"This," he said as I rocketed forward lowering my head and impaling him on my horn as he struggled to laugh he said "I win, this war won't be over anytime soon" he struggled to say before falling limp.

"And that's how Zehire died. I wouldn't say I defeated him as it was more of a suicide" I said as my sister looked in horror.

"How did he control you?" Luna asked when she recovered from the slightly horrific story.

"Well, I didn't learn that 'till 200 years ago when we learned there was water in blood and I guess he used his water magic to control me," Celestia said. Luna continued to ask questions throughout the night, and I was more than happy to answer them.

Bajin City

Bajin city. A wretched hive of scum and villainy. If anypony could smuggle me out of Equestria, it would be here. Luckily, I didn't need to pay anypony as I could just hide on one of the ships and sail away to the griffon kingdoms. But I thought against it as I didn't want to fight against a whole ship. If I did then I would need to take the ship over it was just a hassle.

"Last call for Griffon isles. Buy your tickets now." The boat captain said as he went back to his ship to prepare for the trip.

"How much for a ticket?" I asked.

The teller took one look at me before saying "We don't sell to griffons."

I looked at him as if he was joking before I remembered the royal guards here don't enforce any of Celestia's laws. Including the one that stands against racism.

"Okay then, looks like I need to beat the tickets out of you," I said. He smirked in response.

"Tank! Teach this featherbrain a lesson," he said. A large minotaur came out from behind me.

"Is there a problem here, boss?" the minotaur asked. I just smiled.

"No there's no problem..." I responded before launching the minotaur into the water with a single motion.

I turned around and found the teller with his jaw practically lying on the floor.

"...just teaching your boss not to mess with griffons," I said as I grabbed a ticket from the ticket vendor and got on the boat.

'Hopefully they won't be looking for me in Griffonstone' I thought to myself as the boat started to leave.
