- “Dad, please don’t do this. You’re still hurt from fighting that asura.”
- >You are begging your father not to fight the Griffon prince.
- >Radiance nor you are gamblers, but you wouldn’t bet on dad on his condition.
- >He has to use a cane for now. Something you thought you would never see.
- >Even for a human, it will still take at least a few weeks to recover.
- >Ironclaw wants to duel him next week.
- >He gently grabs your hand.
- >”Dawn, I have to. I don’t want you to end up with him. His father tried to do it with your mother once and I was able to stop it. I’m sure I can do it again.”
- >You don’t want to see him go.
- >You’re wiping your tears away.
- “There has to be another way. Anything, just think about it.”
- >”I’m sorry, but it’s final.”
- “Okay. Please don’t get hurt.”
- >There is another way.
- >Dad isn’t the only bipedal in Equestria.
- >He can’t know this though.
- The Next Week
- >You are Anon.
- >And jesus, does your leg still hurt.
- >Damn asuras and their cheap shots.
- >Today is the day.
- >You’re going to go to the armory and suit up.
- >You get out your bed and do your morning routine.
- >Strange, someone is yelling across the hallway.
- >”Anon!”
- >Celestia?
- >She bursts through the door.
- >”Have you seen Dawn?!”
- >Your wife yells coming to your room.
- “Wait, is she not in her room?”
- >”No she’s not anywhere. Radiance hasn’t seen her at all this morning either.”
- >Someone is knocking on the door.
- “Come in.”
- >It’s one of your rookies.
- >”I came as fast as I could.” He said huffing and puffing.
- >”Your armor...is…missing.”
- “What!”
- >”Your sword and cape are also gone.”
- >Everything came together like a final piece of a puzzle.
- >Shit, you know exactly what she’s doing.
- >You are Ironclaw the Great, son of Ironpaw.
- >Today, you will best the human king that calls himself Anonymous and take his daughter’s hand in marriage.
- >The tales from your father taught you one thing, humans are beings that can’t be bested fairly.
- >That is why you summoned that asura so it could at least hinder him.
- >Sure it did cost a few gryphons so it wouldn’t go hungry, but it will be worth it.
- >If the human refused the battle, you win.
- >If he fights you with his conditions, you will still win.
- >From what your ambassadors told you, the bipedal needs a cane.
- >Speak of the devil.
- >He’s already wearing all his armor.
- >His Templar helmet is completely covering his head.
- >His tunic is also long, covering his legs.
- >Sap probably thinks you don’t know of his leg already and wants to hide it.
- >”Ironclaw.”
- “Hello anonymous. Where is your daughter? I do wish to tell her all the wondrous things we will do together when I win this duel.”
- >He cringes.
- >”She is on her way from Canterlot.”
- “Fine with me. I’ll just tell her after.”
- >The two of you head to the colosseum.
- One hour later
- >You get yourself prepare.
- >Your armor covering all the parts it needs to.
- >The finishing touch is the spear that your father lost with.
- >Colleagues are all around you, saying you got this.
- >It may take only five minutes tops.
- >You finally enter into the arena.
- “People of the Gryphon Kingdom, watch as I, Ironclaw, win the hand of your soon to be new queen, Dawn!”
- >The crowd is roaring for you.
- >All that king has is a sword he can barely lift.
- >You fly to the king as he just stands still.
- >50 feet
- >30 feet
- >20
- “I have you now, Ape!”
- >You pull back your spear and prepare.
- >10
- >5
- >Suddenly, something hits you in the head.
- >It knocks you several feet back.
- >Sweet Ra, your head is ringing like crazy.
- >You look up to try to figure out what happened.
- >He’s holding a shield made of his magic.
- >It disintegrates.
- >Cheeky.
- >You get up and prepare again.
- >Grabbing your spear, you lunge and have it head straight to his leg.
- >He dodges it.
- >Your eyes are wide as plates.
- >He grabs your spear and uses magic to push you on your back.
- >The king holds it by both ends and just breaks it.
- >Like a toothpick
- >The crowd that was cheering on for you is dead silent.
- >”Do you yield?”
- “Never!”
- >The human holds you up with magic.
- >His fist is glowing as bright as the sun.
- >He punches your chest plate.
- >Impossible!
- >It just cracks wide open.
- >Both of his hands are glowing bright now.
- >He’s just shredding your armor away like it was paper.
- >”Do you yield?”
- “No!”
- >He grabs you by the throat.
- >He slams you on the ground, knocking the wind out of you.
- >And he just beats you down.
- >What was probably minutes, felt like hours.
- >Blow after blow.
- >Broken ribs.
- >And at least a cracked beak.
- “I…yield.”
- >Five minutes
- >He just stands up.
- >”Finally.”
- “I don’t understand! Was that all a lie, you barely walking!?”
- >”There is some truth in every lie.”
- >Your guards start to surround him.
- “Let him go, the human deserves it.”
- >Everything goes black for you after saying those words.
- >You are King Anonymous.
- >You and your wife are preparing to head to the Gryphon kingdom.
- >Radiance said he will stay here in case of any invaders.
- >If you have to fry every bird that calls itself a guard there, you will.
- >With your mace and shield in hand, you finally head out.
- >Wait is that…
- “Dawn!”
- >”Mom! Dad!”
- >Voice modifier?
- >She takes off the cape and her helmet.
- >Your little girl flies towards you.
- >Dropping your weapons, you and Celestia run toward her.
- “Dawn, where have you been?”
- >You know, just want to fish out what happened.
- >”Taking care of that Ironclaw.”
- >She hands you a paper that is from their kingdom.
- >”King takes Prince.”
- >You start reading it.
- >”It was a blowout of the decade as the crippled king from Equestria Anonymous, defeats our Prince Ironclaw, denying his chance in marriage.”
- >Crippled?
- “Did you do this?”
- >She just nods her head.
- “Well then. I say this will call for a celebration tonight.”
- >She really is your little fighter.
