Discord and Maud walked away from the gate that signified the start of sweet apple acres. Well, one walked the other floated on air humming to himself. “ Ahh I’m boored!” Discord whined as he floated back onto the ground. “ Why does nothing happen around here” he continued to gripe. Maud simply shook her head and walked on. Only 20 more minutes of being escorted by a draconequus with a sadistic streak a mile wide to go before she was in the presence of Pinkie who could hopefully put a stop to his antics.

Maud frowned inwardly. During their little escapade in sweet apple acres she forgot how infuriating Discord could be. Suddenly a high pitched scream echoed throughout the landscape even bringing Discord to a standstill. Ferocious roars echoed over the scream as they listened.  

“ Someone is in trouble, have no fear Discord is here!” Shouted the draconequus. A deep red cape and blue suit suddenly appeared on him. The suit had a large red D on the front. Maud had no time to wonder what that suit meant before Discord gallantly charged into the forest. 
Maud snapped out of her position of thought and internally decided whether to follow Discord.
