Thousands of years have passed since Starlight fought Queen Chrysalis, and Discord is old and tired. When his estranged family drops by for a holiday visit, he reminisces about the past and relives a painful memory.
Still waiting for Fluttershy to put two and two together, Discord rushes to help her when she needs him most. Will this result in something new, or will his impatience push her away?
Deep in the night, the statue cries. This is its story, its tale of how the stone would be much more of just a barrier preventing escape. Even once it escapes its imprisonment, the statue will cry on.
Fluttershy doesn't know what to think of Discord anymore. She wishes she could understand him. Little does she know that, with the help of a mysterious stranger, that wish is about to come true...
Grey walls. Doors that only go in. Inexplicable sewing paraphernalia. Discord's been through worse. There's no way this little setback is going to get to him. Still, those walls seem awfully close. What would Twilight do?
A year after the events of "The Draconequus with the Dragon Tattoo," Fluttershy and Discord's paths cross once again when two of her close friends are murdered and the evidence seems to point to a certain draconequus.
All the wild mood swings, strange and obscure cravings, increased appetite, nausea, lack of energy, and swollen hooves had led up to this very day… and she can't do it.
As a way to further apologize for his deplorable behavior at the Grand Galloping Gala, Discord escorts Fluttershy home in a way that only the Spirit of Chaos can conjure up.
