“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.
