Fluttershy was EXHAUSTED!!!! The Veterinarian's convention had been bigger than intended, and there was that incident where all the bunnies had some how escaped....all that white fur.....running all over the place....everywhere....in her eyes and ears....*shudder* she was glad Angel wasn't there to see it.... Although the bunnies did say something about a leader who sounded a lot like him....hhmmmm....NAH couldn't be. Fluttershy just wanted to get home and enjoy a nice cup of Tea.

Meanwhile:

Curses. They may have defeated us today, but they shall not keep us for long! ONE DAY WE WILL BE FREE!! VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!! I SWEAR TO YOU MY BROTHERS, WE SHALL BE FREE OF THEIR TYRANNY OR MY NAME ISN'T ANGEEEELLL BBUUUNNNYYYY!!! 

*click*

Shitshitshitshitshit Somepony's coming! Run my brothers! We shall meet in a fortnight. 

"Angel? What are you doing?"

"....."

"Nothing huh?...Well okay then. So how was your day?"

"Just the usual huh?...You must have it so lucky Angel. You don't have to worry about anything."

"......"

"What do you mean I know nothing! Why I aught t-.....what's that noise?"

Angel stopped and listened. There seemed to be a mysterious melody emanating from somewhere in the house....It sounded as if it came form....Discords room!

Both Angel and Fluttershy rushed into the young prince's room only to find there to be...two Discords? Or at least what appeared to be Discord. Although they looked the same, the second Discord had grayer fur, a scar over one eye, a cheetah paw instead of a lion's, falcon wings, and a snake tail with polka dots.

Just as Fluttershy was about to ask how, and why, the second Discord began to sing.


"nd who are you, the proud lord said, 
that I must bow so low? 
Only a cat of a different coat, 
That’s all the truth I know. 
In a coat of gold or a coat of red, 
A lion still has claws, 
And mine are long and sharp, my lord, 
As long and sharp as yours. 
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, 
That lord of Castamere, 
But now the rains weep o’er his hall, 
With no one there to hear. 

Yes now the rains weep o’er his hall, 
With not a soul to hear. 
And so he spoke, and so he spoke, 
That lord of Castamere, 
But now the rains weep o’er his hall, 
With no one there to hear. 
Yes now the rains weep o’er his hall, 
With not a soul to hear."

His eyes glowed gold in the night, a gentle smile crossed his face as he tousled baby Discord's hair, or at least appeared to. His hand faded through Discord's head, revealing himself to be an illusion.

"Forgive my intrusion" he said in a deep, resonating voice."I only wished to see my son once more."

"Y-your son?"

"Why yes. I am Discord's father. In our tongue it would take a life time to say it, as does all draconequian language, so you may call me Mercy."

"Mercy? I thought that all Draconequi were chaotic and evil. Does this m-mean you're....nice?"

"Why yes. Most of my people were kind. We often used our powers to cure ponies and all other creatures of diseases that had no name, restore lands that had been devastated by war or disasters, and keep this world moving. "

"B-but Celestia said that you all turned the world into chaos! How can this be? A-and if you're his dad, how are you here right now?"

"Ah, my dear. That is a story for another time. And how I am here before is simple. All of us, all of our kind, are inside this boy. It's the reason he's the spirit of chaos. All of our souls combined, our voices in his head, turned him mad. Such a fate I so dearly wish did not have to befall my son. He was the gentlest of creatures, and I am glad I can see him as he once was."

Tears began to drip from his eyes, and the Lord of the Heart wept for his son, and for his people.

"F-forgive me. It has been so long since I have seen my son's face. The sun is fading, and my time here will soon be over. Please tell him, that if he needs guidance, to listen to the sound of a thousand breaths, and the beating of a thousand hearts. He will know when the time comes. And please, tell The princess of the nox that the demon has not consumed his soul just yet. I will tell you of our people on the next setting of the sun, of the harvest moon."

And as the sun set, Mercy faded from view, as if a pebble had been dropped into a lake, and disturbed the reflection it cast. And all that remained were his words echoing in Fluttershy's head.

"Setting of the sun.....harvest moon... What do you think it means Angel?"

"................"

"You're right, I need the girl's help for this. It's a bit big to handle on my own. But I'm sure we can do it together."

Then, Discord awoke, and pawed sleepily at his eyes.

"mmm....mama?"

"Mama's here Discord. Let's get you all nice and fed. I'm sure you had a long day. Now c'mon, I've got a special surprise for you.....and it's not the green goop of death."

"YAAAAAAAAAAY"

*giggle*

And so the sun set, and Fluttershy left to attend to the lord of Chaos, with the words of his father still ringing in her ears. Little did she know, that she, the meekest of ponies, would play the key role in uncovering the truth of the Princess of the Sun.
