The sun shone down brightly on the city of Canterlot, promising a great afternoon to the citizens of the Equestrian Capital. The sun of course wasn't obligated to keep any promises and silently watched the city as the heavy knocking on a door filled the air of the busy residential district of the upper class metropolis.
Inside the home that belonged to the door, the resident was rudely awakened having slept in well past noon. The large resident was jolted awake and hopped out of his bed, stumbling out of his bed before landing on the ground in a crumpled mess. "Wha? Who is here? It's barely past noon, I should be asleep..." a deep and tired voice called out to the door as it beckoned him over.
"Sir Gerrard, your assistance is required immediately. You are the only qualified person in Canterlot who can aid in the plight of the city," a formal voice replied to him from outside his house. The sleepy character blinked his golden eyes and collected himself and stood back in a normal posture, quickly becoming identifiable as a black pelted griffon with silver head plumage. He wiped his eye with a black talon and let out a loud yawn with an equally dark beak as he walked over and opened his door.
A tall unicorn mare shrouded in a black cloak peered across to him with crimson eyes as he opened the door to spot a courier. The griffon strangely wasn't alarmed by her vaguely frightening appearance, probably used to speaking with the unique looking mail mare. She levitated a scroll with a royal seal imprinted on it and handed it to the griffon, placing it in his dark talon. Gerrard quickly opened the document and sighed, darting back into his home as he collected large saddle bags that seemed to be brimming to edges with supplies. "I gotta go immediately, talk to you later Asteria," he explained quickly, the dark pelted griffon giving a powerful wing flap as he took to the air and flew off towards the Canterlot Park. Something important must have been happening there to get the large hybrid flying across the town so fast.
