“I have told our Negotiators in Equestria to gather as much information as they can. Let us find out more about this human race. Let us examine their strengths, their weaknesses. Let us extend the claw of alliance as a measure of respect to their power. And if, by chance, they shun us, then let them feel the terrible vengeance of our race! Let them feel our sharp talons, sharpened by stone, our beaks, hungry for blood – whether or not victory will be achieved, we shall proudly stand on all fours: For we are Gryphons!”
