//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: Lucia di Lammermoor // by cierragp //------------------------------// Zephyr sees the letter. His anger is ignited as he realized he was right all along. His sister had lied to him. A sinister plan composes itself as he reads it again and again. ~~~ Zephyr knew that Fluttershy would send a letter. He sees her composing the reply through the window, and he waits. Fluttershy leaves, and he reads it. If the lies have already enraged him, the reply made him even more so incensed. She spared him no pain with calling Discord her "dearest" "love" "only comfort". Quickly, he composes a reply and slips it into his pocket. He hopes that Fluttershy will not notice the missing paper. He must make plans quickly - if Fluttershy runs off, he will lose everything. He will not give her the chance. He must seize on to the plan. If Discord betrays her however, it would've been easier for him to persuade her into marrying Blueblood. Blueblood would get bored soon if Fluttershy rejected him one too many times. Soon he flies down and pretends to casually stroll. He sees Fluttershy writing again, and sealing the letter. He sees the light from the candle. First he has to hand the reply. Then he will convince her to marry Prince Blueblood. And after, he shall be able to revel in his newfound wealth, and Fluttershy would live a luxurious life.
