This is merely the first part in Riptide's story of how he gained his scars.
............................................................................................................................................
One pleasant morning, Caramel Apple, Ophelia, Viridian, Darius, Lucky Clover and Marzipan Pie were all getting ready for a friendly picnic together. The group rarely got to spend time together since they were all so busy with either their families or jobs. One other member, Riptide, didn't feel like he needed to prepare for the picnic. Instead he he felt like flying to give his wings some exercise before returning for the picnic.

On his way out, he passed over Sweet Apple Acres where Lucky and Caramel were. He flew down close to them.

"Hey guys. I'm going to go for a quick flight before our picnic okay?"he told them just in case he was late and somepony asked where he was.

Lucky nodded. "Alright, but you better not be late. Marz will have kick your hindquarters if you're late."

The dark blue pegasus chuckled. "Just tell Marz I'll be there on time. Oh and tell her to save me a chocolate cupcake. She knows I love those."

Both Lucky and Caramel laughed. "Alright. Now be careful."

Riptide rolled his eyes. "I'm always careful."he boasted proudly.

He spread his wings out a little more before blasting off toward the mountains. He preferred flying by the mountains since they were so peaceful and it was a great view.

After awhile he landed on a gravel path to rest his wings a bit before he continued his flight. He stretched his wings slightly and heard his joints pop faintly. "Hm..One day these wings will give me a chance to fly with the Wonderbolts alongside my parents.."he muttered to himself.

"Oh look boss...a pwetty little pony.."a rather weaselly voice said just a feet in front of him.

Riptide jerked his head forward and gasped spying two griffons standing on a large rock in the middle of the path. The smaller gray griffon was eyeballing him with a mischievous look in his eyes, while the larger brown griffon stared him down and looked like he was ready to strike.

"Looks like we have, Goony."the brown griffon answered.

"Can we eat him Gideon?" Goony, the gray griffon asked excitedly.

Riptide stiffened just at the thought of the griffons even attempting to eat him.

Gideon made a face and shook his head. "How many times have I told you Goony? We don't eat ponies. Besides, they taste too sweet."he answered.

Goony pouted. "Awww..."he whined lightly.

Gideon turned back to look at the pegasus. "Ignore my companion. He was dropped on his head as a hatchling." He smirked lightly. "But you are invading our territory and we can't have that now can we."

Riptide uttered a growl deep within his throat. "Last time I checked, this land does not belong to griffons. High tail it back to Griffonstone!"

Gideon chuckled. "We left that garbage dump a long time ago."he answered calmly.

The large griffon jumped down from the rock and stepped closer to Riptide. "Since you seem to know about Griffonstone, then you should understand how...territorial us griffons can be.."he told him while flexing his talons.\

Riptide narrowed his eyes. "Well I'm not leaving without a fight.."

Gideon grinned. "Well if it's a fight you want.. then it's a fight you shall receive.."

[ I'm not going to write the fight part but in the next couple parts you will get to see the aftermath and...things do not go well for Riptide.]
