//------------------------------// // Farewell Sun part 1 // Story: After Rain Comes Sunlight // by Himewhite //------------------------------// The next morning at sunrise Fluttershy went to help out with some of the chores around the castle, like cutting wood. She wanted to keep her mind of yesterdays event with Discord. Fluttershy took the axe in her mouth and chopped the piece of wood in one swing. Rainbow dash was surprised too see that Fluttershy had quite a lot of strength in her. " Fluttershy, you okay with that ? " Rainbow dash was a little scared if Fluttershy wouldn't get hurt doing this kind of chore. Fluttershy was about to hit the piece of wood again when she finally noticed Rainbow dash flying next to her with wood in her hooves. " Huh ? When did you get here ? " Fluttershy said dropping the axe leaning almost on her hooves. " That's some impressive cutting ! " Rainbow dash said looking at the piece of wood Fluttershy cut already. Rainbow dash got a other chore for her and Fluttershy to do, she didn't want Fluttershy to swing a dangerous weapon that could likely kill somepony if they got to close around like that. " Today's the Rain king's welcome feast, and all..... " Rainbow dash said as she and Fluttershy were pealing potatoes in the kitchen. " So we can never have too much firewood...... " Rainbow dash looked at Fluttershy if she was doing right, but seeing three baskets full with pealed potatoes behind Fluttershy. " You know, we don't need that many potatoes. " Fluttershy got carried away with the pealing but her mind was somewhere els today, and she couldn't get it out off her head. Rainbow dash sent her away to relax a bit, but it didn't help as Fluttershy wandered around the castle halls. " It's so strange. Ever since last night...... " Fluttershy said to herself, thinking about the kiss made her completely red, she tried the breathing exorcises that Twilight learned her to do in situations like this one. Fluttershy breathe in and out, but all she could think of was the kiss she shared with Discord. " C-Calm down ! You've done it with him a lot, haven't you ? " Fluttershy said to herself. " Be calm. Be very calm. If my heart keeps pounding like this, I won't be able to hold out much longer. " Fluttershy got finally calmed down as she approached Discord's room. Fluttershy opened the door and said. " Discord, i'm coming in. " But as she looked at Discord being naked she completely lost it and screamed her longs out with red al over her face. Discord was trying to put his clothes on, but the screaming Fluttershy wasn't making it easier. " Hey ! Don't open the door so suddenly ! " But soon reality hit him. " Wait ! We normally don't wear clothes, so what are you screaming for ? " Discord said but Fluttershy wasn't listening as she covered her eyes with her wings and turned around facing the wall. " I-I-Im sorry, I-I d-didn't see anything ! I'm Here.....f-for the middle of the afternoon......put on some pants ! Please ! " Fluttershy knows that pony's usually don't wear clothes, but Discord is alway dress in royal attires that it was rare for her to see Discord with out it. " But I'm used to seeing Discord naked, aren't I ? " Fluttershy thought to herself as she hide herself in the corner of the room, blushing like crazy. Discord couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Fluttershy's out burst of embarrassment as he puts on some clothes for her seek. " I went for a walk, but I got sunburnt, so i came back. " Fluttershy took a little peak seeing that he was standing behind her. Discord took this opportunity to have a little bit of fun with his embarrassed little wife, Fluttershy was starting to shake as Discord moved his claw though her mane playing with the stings of hair between his claw. " Capes and parasols really are useless against this heat. " Discord said as he whispered the word in Fluttershy's ear. " How about taking a stroll around the castle, together ? " Discord said was he looked deeply in Fluttershy's eyes. Fluttershy's heart could burst out any minute now as she said with a trembling voice. 'Y-You want t-to take a w-w-alk together ? " Fluttershy cover her eyes with her hooves, if she starred at those red piercing eyes of him a second longer she could die of a heart attack. " I can bring a proper sun umbrella, then " Discord thought for a second that Fluttershy was making fun of him that he used the wrong kinds of method for protecting him against the sun, but it was kind of cute that he could see Fluttershy so flustered for a chance. " R-Right. " Fluttershy and Discord went to take a walk around the castle, as Fluttershy opened a big red umbrella holding it tight with her hoof. Discord looked closely at the material of the umbrella, seeing that the light of the sun didn't got though the material. " I see, It's repelling the light. " Discord said. " Yeah, It's coated in a substance made from the fermented pulp of compressed fruits. It makes it that much heavier, though. Want to carry it ? " Fluttershy said as she couldn't hold up the umbrella to Discord's hight, even if she flew up there herself with the umbrella being so heavy. " If i carried it, you'd probably get a sunburn. " Discord said with him being so tall and all. " I-I guess, but i'm used to the heat by now. " As Fluttershy thought looking at her hooves shyly. " I-I can't keep the dialogue going. " Discord wanted to break the silence, but didn't know how to as he looked at her. Discord grabbed Fluttershy and the umbrella, carrying her bride style making both of them blush slightly. " I'm sorry about....this, but at least both of us won't be burnt by the sun. " Discord said as he started to walk. " And i'm sorry about..... that. " Discord said. " "That " ? " Fluttershy asked. " About threatening to burn your country to the ground. " Discord said as memories filled his head and Fluttershy's. It was about the time that Discord lost control over his anger and imprisoned Feather bangs for flirting with Fluttershy. " Oh, that's right, You did. " " I'm glad this is a sunny and hot country. " Fluttershy looked confused at him just a minute ago he was complaining about the weather it self. Discord looked at Fluttershy who looked like a little filly in his arms. " You're so close to me. " Discord said as he looked at her. Fluttershy tried to hide behind her hooves as she said. " We were together in the Rain Kingdom, too, weren't we ? " " I can't express it well......When we're under the covered skies, you look so sad. Sometimes i think you might just wash away with the rain. It's such a sad, blinding scene and yet...... it's strangely heartbreaking. Here, we're closed in by the warmth. Like there's no one but us in the world. " Discord pressed his head against Flutershy's head and said. " it's like freedom and i never want to lose it. " The moment lasted not long as a sound of a snapped twig was heard. " Fluttershy ! " The voice said. Fluttershy looked at the pony standing under a blue umbrella. " Thunderlane ! It's been so long. " Flutterhy flew out of Discord's hold, towards Thunderlane. " That's right, so you're back, too ? " Fluttershy faced Discord again and said. " This is my cousin, Thunderlane. He'd been traveling the country with grandma until recently. " Thunderlane closed his umbrella and bowed his head towards Discord. " O, great Rain King. It is our deepest honor to have you in our presence. " Thunderlane said. " You're as earnest as ever, I see. " Fluttershy said. " This is normal. You and your sisters are just too frank, Fluttershy. " Thunderlane said rising his head, looking at Discord intensely. Discord on the other hoof didn't like the way he looked at him. " By the way, what are you doing in a place like this ? " Fluttershy asked. " The King wanted to take a walk, so I came with him. " Thunderlane said as he pointed at King Sombra hiding behind a tree, King Sombra cleared his voice and came out of his hiding spot. " It's fine, it's fine. " King Sombra said taking a deep breath. " My own Daughter has forgotten all about me, that's all " King Sombra said with a strict look in his eyes. Fluttershy forgot all about introducing Discord to her father or her mother. Discord on the other hoof was nervous as he could be and you could clearly see it as Discord popped in front of King Sombra with flowers in his paw. " W-Well, Father ! I-I was just thinking I should introduce myself ! " Shaking as a leaf as Discord introduced himself. " F-Father ! It's been so long ! " Fluttershy joined the crazy event also shaking as a leaf, nervous about what he would think of Discord. King Sombra invited Fluttershy and Discord for a cup of tea in the dining room as they spent time talking with each other. " Well, I hope you'll excuse me. I am the king of Sunlight Kingdom, King Sombra. A pleasure. " King Sombra said bowing his head in respect before Discord. " N-Not at all ! Please forgive my rudeness. " Bowing also before King Sombra. Discord was quite nervous to meet Fluttershy's father for the fist time. " No, don't worry. Honesty, I just carry the title of the King, and I'm just the son-in-law. It's actually Fluttershy's grandmother who really controls things. Queen Amore is like the Spiritual Fulcrum for the ponies of our Kingdom. She first took the throne when she was not much older than Fluttershy. At the time, there was a certain amount of drought around the world, and our country was at the center of attention..... We had always been a small country, and many ponies were passionate that this was our chance to expand into the world, but she knew better. By closing our borders and forbidden even the slightest contact with the outside world, she protected out secret talent. She prevented our " Power " from getting mixed up in ugly wars. I mostly deal with the ugly stuff so that my family would never experience the terrors that comes form it. Queen Amore makes no mistakes in her actions. " King Sombra said. " That's right, she's always righteous ! " Fluttershy said proudly. " And I.... in her absence, acted selfishly..... " thinking about the little game he putted up for choosing a bride for the Rain king ( Chapter 1 ) " And got her very angry with me. " Remembering the outburst when he told her that Fluttershy was getting married to the Rain king for the sake of the Kingdom. " What ? You sent Fluttershy to get married ? " Queen Amore said bursting up in flames, or at least that's what he remembered. Fluttershy could understand with her grandmother at that time, but see wouldn't have met Discord i it wasn't for her Father. Rainbow dash was carrying box's of party decorations and hat's as he flew by the dining room and saw Fluttershy and Thunderlane. " Fluttershy, Thunderlane ! If you're here, you should help out ! " " I'm Sorry Rainbow, I'm coming ! " Fluttershy said before saying goody to Discord. " All right. See you later at the feast tonight, Discord. " " Right...." Discord said watching them go, but before leaving Thunderlane looked at Discord for a quick moment. Discord didn't like the way he looked at him and got suspicions. " Thunderlane lost his parents when he was a filly, so he and Fluttershy were raised by Queen Amore. " King Sombra explained. " They're like brother and sister. " " Pardon me for asking, but where is Fluttershy's mother ? " " My wife has always been sickly. Even now she's on her sickbed. In addition, Fluttershy and Thunderlane were the black sheep of the royal family. The two of them couldn't call the sunlight at all. Somethings, i thought it might stay that way all their lives. But Fluttershy was different, thanks to Queen Amore's teachings.... She endured the overwhelmingly severe training and became the best singer in the Kingdom. Seeing that she wasn't crushed despite bearing the same handicap, Thunderlane admired her from the bottom of his heart. You could even call it " Adoration. " " King Sombra said. As night fell the A huge concert was being formed, big lights and colorful lights were shining though the night, a big stage with music instruments and big speaker an the end. The audience was going wild as Rainbow dash came up on and did the entry of the concert, holding a mic and a blue guitar hanging around her neck. " Mares and gentlecolt, sorry to keep you waiting ! With all of our hearts, let's make a warmth light of welcome fall for the Rain King ! Third sister Rainbow dash, with Hot Five ( band name ) will sing......" Awesome as i wanna be " Hot five " Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! " The crowed went wild as Rainbow dash sang and played her guitar. Rainbow dash " Awesome as I wanna be " Backstage Twilight and Rarity were looking jealously at the performance of Rainbow dash together with Fancy pants who had now idea what was going on. Hot five " Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! " " Hey. Who left the planning of the feast to her ? " Twilight said. Rainbow dash " Awesome as I wanna be " " What ? What is that shining thing ? " Fancy pants asked about the lights never have seen something like this. " First you see me riding on a sonic boom " " Got my guitar shreddin' up my latest tune" " There is nothin' you can do to beat me" " I'm so good that you can't defeat me " " She wants to make us sing, too ! " Rarity said showing Twilight the program book. as Fancy pants still is shocked by the electronic devices. Rainbow dash and Hot Five Yeah, I'm awesome, take caution Watch out for me, I'm awesome as I wanna be (Yeah!) I'm awesome, take caution Watch out for me, I'm awesome as I wanna be " What's that in her wing ? " Fancy pants said revering to the mic Rainbow dash was holding. Hot five Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! As Twilight and Rarity looked at the program book, saying that Twilight has to sing " Find a way " And Rarity has to sing " Becoming popular " with a light show surprise. " No! No way ! i'm not doing it ! " Rarity said. Rainbow dash Step aside now, you're just gettin' in my way I got sick chops you could never hope to play When it comes to makin' music, I'm the ruler You wish you could be twenty percent cooler " Are you just going to let it continue ? " Fancy pants said as he looked at the program. Rainbow dash and Hot five Yeah, I'm awesome, take caution " Don't wear the details ! by the way, where's the King ? " Twilight said. " We brought so many cute thing for him to wear ! " Rarity said showing a red attire with pink heart on it. Watch out for me, I'm awesome as I wanna be (Yeah!) I'm awesome, take caution Watch out for me, I'm awesome as I wanna be! Discord was hiding in a tree looking at the big light show that was forming in the sky. " Good grief.....I can't slip away with Fluttershy if i get involved with that. " Hearing what the two sisters were saying. Discord looked around the concert and saw that Flutershy was nowhere to be found. " Where did she disappear to ? Fluttershy..... " In the western side of the castle there was a big tower standing where Thunderlane was sitting in the top of the room burning down some herbs in a pot. Thunderlane was deep in his own thoughts as he looked at the smoke coming from the herbs, thinking back about his past with Fluttershy. There was this waterfall nearby the castle, Young Flutershy always went their if she was feeling down about something. Sitting on the edge of the cliff with a tree growing on de side of it. " Fluttershy. Eat this " Young Thunderlane had a peace in he wing and in the other where more peaces to be found. " Your voice is hoarse from over practice. " " So many.....thank you. But i don't need it. " Young Fluttershy said with a hoarse voice. Thunderland placed a hoof on Fluttershy's head patting her to make her feel batter. " It's okay. I know you'll be able to call the sun, Fluttershy. " Thunderlane said with a kind smile on his face. Thunderlane's thoughts were broken as her heard the door open and hoof steps coming closer. " Why did you call me to a place like this ? if you don't mind asking ? " Fluttershy said walking up to Thunderlane. " It's rare for you to ask for my advice. " " No, it's not about advice. I just wanted to talk with you in private. " Thunderlane threw in some special kind of herbs in the pot with the others as it burned quickly into asses. " Really ? I wanted to talk to you, too ! The last time I saw you was just before you left the Kingdom. " " I was surprised when I came back you weren't here. " Thunderlane said watching the herbs burn. " Yeah. It was so sudden, after all....." " If I had been here......" Thunderlane interrupted Fluttershy raising his voice. " I wouldn't have let you go ! " Surprising Fluttershy because Thunderlane never raised his voice to her. " Thunderlane ? " A little worried what was going on with Thunderlane. " Are you oaky with this ? Being married off ? Made into a sacrifice to appease that Kingdom ? " Fluttershy was a little scared by the way Thunderlane acted. " It's not like that ! I......" But Thunderlane interrupted Fluttrehsy again. " Are you in love with him ? It just looks like playing house to me ! " Thunderlane taught a bit know that Discord is a creature of chaos, everything is a game to him. " It's true that i was pressured into it, at first, But I started to learn about him in my own way. I saw his weakness and his kindness, and now i want to support him ! I want to stay with him ! " Fluttreshy said. Thunderlane stood up form his seat and faced Fluttershy directly. " And then..... are you going to become his slave ? That's not love ! The Rain King is just taking advantage of you, because you can't abandon somepony who's damaged ! " " You're wrong ! " " You just feel sorry for him because of his sad upbringing, right ? " " You're wrong ! " Fluttershy stared to raise her own voice as she said it. Thunderlane grabbed her hoof and made her look at him. " If i'm wrong.....Have you ever made love to him ? Have you ever felt....." Futtershy couldn't help but tremble as she saw the anger in his eyes. " On fire for him ? ! " But as she tried to get out of Thunderlane's grip her legs started to give out on there own, making her fall on the ground as Thunderlane held her for hooves with his own. Fluttershy's sight went blurry as Thunderlane spoke to her. " An imported herb. " Fluttershy couldn't hear Thunderlane's voice clearly it sounded as it was coming from far away. " It works quickly on those who haven't built up an immunity. " Before the darkness consumed her she spoke her last words out " Dis..... cord......" Before she fell into a deep sleep. Thunderlane caught her before falling down on the ground and carried her on his back before saying. " Don't worry. By the time you wake up, it'll all be over. Isn't that right, Grandma ? " Queen Amore was standing in the back of the room as moonlight showed her face in the darkness. After the concert Discord was asked to meet Sunburst the royal adviser regarding Fluttreshy's absence. Sunburst was a unicorn with a brilliant gamboge coat and a vivid and brilliant vermillion mane. " Sick ? " Discord said as he was talking to Sunburst. " Fluttershy is ? " " Last night, she was struck by a sudden fever. " Sunburst said pouring in some tea for Discord and Fancy pants. ' It seems to be a local disease. She could end up in bed for a month. " " I'll go see her. " Discord said about to leave if Sunburst didn't stop him. " You mustn't. We can't allow somepony without immunity to see her. " Sunburst said. " Majesty, awe can't possibly remain here for a month. " Fancy pants said whispering into Discord's ear. " once she recovers, we'll send her back to Rain Dukedom immediately. " Sunburst said. " I urge you to go ahead of her, Majesty. " Meanwhile Fluttershy was waking up slowly as she opened her eyes seeing that she was in a wooden cel. She looked around if she recognized the place, but a voice answered her unspoken question. " The Black Lotus Tower. " Fluttershy looked closer at the pony standing on the other side of the wooden door. " I'm shocked. I thought you wouldn't wake up for a while yet. " Thunderlane said looking down on. Fluttershy was trying to get up. " What are you doi- " But her body felt paralyzed as she struggled to move forward. " It's better not to move. " Thunderlane said sitting on the floor in front of the wooden cel. " This is the tower where they put royalty who have broken the law. Why am i here ? " Fluttershy asked. " You haven't broken any law. there's a barrier here that restrains our power. We just need you to stay here until it's all over. " " What do you mean " It " ? What are you trying to do ? " Fluttreshy was getting scared at what was going on but at the same time she felt like she could explode with anger. " Thunderlane ! " " We're going to hypnotize the Rain king. We'll put to rest his attachment to you and give him a change of heart. Then he will nullify your engagement. " With every word Thunderlane was saying Fluttershy's heart shrieked little by little. " We'll use the hypnotism a little bit every night. It will be complete in three day's time. If he sees you before then, the spell will be broken. That's why i need you to stay here. Grandma decided it. " " What ? Grandma.....I don't understand. What about the changelings ? If we cut off the engagement, Discord won't help us defend the Kingdom from them. " " You don't understand ? The Changelings have changed since you have been gone, their good now. Fluttershy, we need you to stay in this country, support it, and protect our secret art. " Thunderlane puts his hoof against fluttershy's cheek as he watch her tremble in fear. " That's the reason, I've been watching over you all this time. " Fluttershy backed away from him. " Thunderlane ? " " It wasn't right to give you to a monster like that ! " Back in the Castle. Sunburst and the three sisters were discussing the plan as Discord and Fancy pants waited in the other room. " I offered him tea laced with myrrh. He should be deep asleep by now. " " Sunburst...... You're really going to do this ? " Twilight asked. " I will handle the hypnosis. I implore Your highnesses to make up your own minds. " " I feel bad for Fluttershy, but this is important, too, right ? " Rarity said. " But... We greeted him like friends. To tear him away from Fluttershy like this....." Twilight said feeling guilty. " I know that, but there's nothing else we can do ! " Sunburst was about to go as Rainbow dash couldn't help but do something about this situation and followed Sunburst. As Sunburst looked in the room were he felt Discord and fancy pants, they were fast asleep as Sunburst predicted. Sunburst went to the sleeping Discord who was sleeping in the chair leaning against the back. " My. He looks so innocent when he's asleep. " Sunburst placed his horn against Discord's head and spoke hypnotic word's out. " Ruinous Rain king, your memories lie beyond the mist. " But As Sunburst was about to cast the spell Discord opened his eyes surprising Sunburst. Discord snapped his fingers and a sword appeared before him, taking the sword and putting it against Sunburst neck. " Stay where you are ! " Discord said. " You ! The medicine...." Sunburst said shocked. " I never even tasted what you gave me ! Fancy pants ! " Fancy pants stood up from his sleeping form, surprising Sunburst more. In a panic Sunburst yelled " S-Somepony come here at once ! The Rain King has lost his mind ! " Guards came running in and saw that the royal advisor was in danger. " Advisor Sunburst ! " The guards said. They were going to attack the Rain king but Fancy pants used his magic to hold of the guards. Sunburst was able to escape Discord's sword as he teleported himself to safety. " Tell Grandmother ! " The said to the Guards. Fancy pants said how many guards there were and said. " Majesty ! " " Got It ! " Discord flew out of the window, down into the bushes. " He flew downstairs. " One of the guards said. " After him. " " You'll need to get throught me, first ! " Fancy pants said blocking the way. Discord looked carefully around if anyone could see him, but he was soon discovered by Rainbow dash indicating that he should follow her to safety. Trusting his guts he took the risk and followed her into a underground cafe. " It's slippery, so be careful " Rainbow dash said holding torch in her hoofs as she flew down the staircase. " An underground passage ? It's a it like the one in the palace, I suppose. " Discord said looking at the long dark hall ways the underground passage has. " The Black lotus tower where Fluttershy's being held is through here, But you you'll need Grandma's key to get inside. " " Just as i thought, that old granny is behind this. " " I'm sorry. None of us can go against her decisions. " " No, i actually find it amazing that she can achieve this kind of control over ponies without employing the politics of fear. Will you be okay ? " Rainbow dash stopped flying and looked at Discord. " Who knows ? I'm doing this for Fluttershy, not you, just so you know ! They might gang up on me if they find out about it. They all do whatever grandma says. But.....I want to think for myself. Even if the answer I reach is different from my Grandma's. I want to follow it. " Discord couldn't help but laugh as he heard this. " You two really are sisters. You're so brave. " Discord and Rainbow dash finally reached the Black lotus tower. " Is that it ? " Discord asked as he looked at the big tower. " Be careful. If word gets out that Sunburst failed, she might try to make a move personally. " Thunder clouds were forming above the dark blue sky for the first time in history. As a thunder strikes the ground on a mountain, Queen Amore could be seen in it as she was standing behind Discord. " You work quickly, Rain King ! " Queen Amore said. Discord didn't hesitated for a moment and place his sword against Queen Amores neck. " I was hoping to meet the mastermind ! " Discord said. Queen amore didn't even blink at the sword came to het throat instead she didn't anything at all, but the sword broke in have by power she had. " When did you realize it ? " Queen Amore asked. " From the start. " Discord said throwing the broken sword away. " Somepony as formidable as you, calling back your engaged granddaughter over a strained back ? You were after Fluttershy from the start. " " You're certainly a bright one. Let's go elsewhere. Come with me. " Queen amore went to the lake outside the castle ground where a pier was placed in the middle of the lake to the end of it. " I miscalculated. I didn't know you were this obsessed with Fluttershy. You'e making me work harder than I expected. " Queen amore said walking on the pier with Discord behind her. " Serves you right. " Queen Amore stopped at the middle of the pier and made a big key appear with her magic. " This key is imbued with my magic. no one can enter or leave the tower without it. " Queen amore threw the key in the lake without any warning. " What ? " Discord watched as it was thrown in the lake. " I will not give Fluttershy up ! Even if you are the king of the world, that refers only to the world of creatures. She can alter the world itself. If she wished it, she can call down it's terrible wrath. Can you swear that you will not make use of it ? How about your children and descendants ? " Discord wring his paw/claw and jumped in the lake. The lake wasn't as deep as he thought as the water only hits his legs. " Ma'am, you speak righteously. But i am, as you say, the king of creatures, so i'm less concerned with future than i am with what i want in the present ! What i want, i always get. " Discord said smiling devilish at Queen Amore. " She is my mare ! " Queen Amore used her power to make dark clouds appear as she said. " Our negotiations have broken down, but in deference to your spirit, i will give you one chance. " The dark clouds dropped rain faster than lighting it self filling the lake with water from the rain. " If you can find the key I dropped, i will let you take Fluttershy back. " Discord started to look around feeling the grounds for the key but their was so much mud and it was too dark to see anything underwater. " What's wrong ? Rain king, you've stopped looking. If you don't hurry, the lake will soon be over your head. " Queen Amore said as she looked at Discord struggling to find the key. " You damned old granny...... " Discord said getting frustrated. Meanwhile In the Black lotus tower Flutershy looked at the window seeing that lightning was getting closer and closer, she was surprised that it was raining outside. Her family could do Rain-Summoning but they only use it in the dry sessions. Another lightning strike was heard. " That one was close. I wonder who summoned that lightning. " Fluttershy looked over her shoulder seeing that Thunderlane was still watching her outside the wooden cel. " To a monster like that, " he said...... " Thinking about the time she had to face a heavenly mission in order to get married. " I wish i'd brought that ring. " Fluttershy was about to cry as she thought about the plan her grandma was about to do, she gripped her heart as it was in so much pain. " Discord will lose his memory ? " But as she thought about all the times he fought for her, she was willingly to do the same. By the lake. Discord was out of breath as he kept looking in the water, the water has raised to his hips by now. " Do you understand now ? " Queen Amore said watching Discord heavily. " It's not possible to find that key. if you admit defeat, i'll let you out right now. " Discord couldn't give up now, he had to save Fluttershy. " Shut up ! " Discord said as he continued searching. The three royal sisters and some of the guards were running to Queen amore and saw that Discord was searching the ground of the lake desperately. " You are the beast who has ascended to rule over the world. You don't want to die over something so trivial, do you ? " " Something so trivial ? Losing my future life with Fluttershy would be the same as dying ! " Discord said continuing to search but as a huge rock fell of a cliff and into the lake it created a big wave heading towards Discord. The three sisters tried to warn him but it was to late. Discord was washed away by the big wave, being pulled underwater by the force dragged away. " Fluttershy....." Meanwhile. Fluttershy took a sprint and slammed herself against the wooden door, hurting her shoulder in the process, but she couldn't careless about the pain she had to get out. Fluttershy took a few steps back and tried it again. Thunderlane begged her to stop but she didn't listen. " Stop it ! What are you doing ? ! " Fluttersy slammed herself against the wooden door but it didn't break. " Getting out of here ! " Fluttershy said with heavy voice. Fluttershy tried it again and again. " Don't be ridiculous ! what can you do without your powers ? What you're doing is pointless ! " Their was the sound of a bang overtime Fluttershy slammed herself into the wooden door, her whole body was in pain as she slammed herself over and over into the door. " I'm leaving ! " As this continued Thunderlane remembered a time Fluttershy pushed herself past the limit of her own body, Thunderlane and Queen Amore were making baskets out of straws. " Grandma, did Fluttershy collapse again ? " Young Thunderlane asked. " She overapplied herself at her training. she'll remain stubborn until she gets it right. " Queen Amore said. " It would be easier on he if she just gave up. " Young Thunderlane said. " For Fluttershy, that would be even more painful, i expect. " Queen Amore said. Thunderlane couldn't hold back the tears as they ran down his face. " Stop it ! " He yelled before another slam was heard against the door. " Don't you realize what you're doing ? To go back on grandmother's decisions is akin to treason ! This won't be forgiven ! " Thunderlane said as Fluttershy rested on the wooden door. Thunderlane finally noticed that Fluttershy's head was bleeding by slamming herself to hard on the door creating a wound on her head making the blood drip on the floor. " I don't care if it's forgiven. " Fluttershy said breathing heavily, exhausted and in pain. " Thunderlane.....just now....." Fluttershy looked in his eyes, seeing that blood was running down her face. " I feel like i realized.... what you meant. " Fluttershy backed away again ready to slam against to door again.
