//------------------------------// // Ch 2: WHAT THE !?!? // Story: Flutter Days // by Phantom Dragon //------------------------------// Discord let out a painful groaned, feeling dizzy and woozy. He tried to stand up, instead ended up stumbling around like a drunkard. This caused him to face plant on the grass in front of his cave. He rolled into a sitting position and was mildly confused as to what actually happened. He saw the puddle of droll where he was laying in the cave. How long was he out? As he got into a standing position he heard a soft moan. 'Oh that's right I cast the destiny spell, I wonder who's supposed to be my destined one' He quickly looked around putting his claw to his forehead, trying to see where they were. Discord didn't see anyone around. However, he instantly noticed something odd as he put claw his forehead like it was more furry than usual . He slowly brought his claw in front his face She felt a strange feeling on her back like she was pressed against something. She slowly begin to wake , her eyelids raising slowly seeing a strange gray shape in front her. They looked at each other for the longest time. Both of them processing what they were really looking at. At the same time they let out a very loud scream. She tried to run, however all she was doing was running in place in the midair getting nowhere. She started to cry. Discord would never think this would ever happen. In place of his claw was the top half of a butter yellow winged pony with pink hair. She was fused into him. Rendered completely speechless by this. Discord could only gawk at her in disbelief. The mare's hair blocked her eyes. She used her hooves to move her hair, and took a long look at him "Who...what are you?" She softly said "Please let me go" she whimpered "This is my destined one?!" Discord said feeling a little swindled. She let a scared 'eep' and  then an "I'm sorry" He loudly groaned. "Alright , I should explain things, after all you were just summoned here" Discord puffed out his chest and stood straight "I'm Discord, I am a draconequus" "A what ?" "A draconequus a creature made of different parts. I am also the lord of chaos" "Well...um...I'm..." The mare paused, her mouth feeling real dry all the sudden. She felt as if she hadn't had a drop of water in days. She swallowed some split for some relief and continued "Fluttershy" She said in a sore voice. "Mmm so could you reverse whatever this is?" Discord closed his eyes tight letting out a groan as if he was trying hard at something. He opened his eyes saw nothing change. He sighed and said "You see when I snap my claw, my magic will active" "And since you are where my claw is...um was..." "I'm in charge of your magic" Fluttershy said finishing his sentence "Pretty much" Discord grumbled "So how does it work?" "You mean my magic? It's kinda hard to explain...." Discord then took the time to talk about chaos magic. Which to her sounded like incomprehensible nonsense. He might as well been talking in another language. Fluttershy gained a throbbing headache just listening to him. She use her hoofs to massage her temples to relive her headache. "Sssoo, why did you do this in the first place?" "I WAS LONELY OKAY! It's not like I asked you to be my destined one" "What do you mean destined one? You keep on saying that" "Don't tell me I have to explain what destiny is? I would think a sentient horse creature like yourself would what that is!" Discord was running out of patience for this Fluttershy. So whatever ...goodwill?  He had was running out as well. A few tears fell down Fluttershy's cheek "Why would you call me a sentient horse creature? Am I ugly?" "But that's what you are! A sentient winged horse creature" "Well, what if I called you a sentient ..." Fluttershy stopped and scanned him from head to toe "Brown horse with a head of a pony with a donkey mane, with a deer antler, goat horn...mmm" She cocked her head and peered into his mouth "Snake tongue, lion paw, lizard leg, deer leg" She was almost out of breath when she identified the rest in one fast long sentence. "Bat winged, blue bird winged dragon tailed creature!" She gasped for air, breathing rapidly. Discord actually impressed let out a "huh" "Second of all..." She wheezed "I'm a pegasus pony... not a horse there's a different" "And yes I do know what destiny is, but I am not sure what it has to do with my predicament"  He sighed "Did you know that there's one law that is universally true. There is someone who is your destined one, one being in the whole of all the universes, who is meant to be." " So I cast that spell so I can meet that being ... and that being was you" Fluttershy was awestruck "But I don't even know you" "Destiny and chaos mix about as well as oil and water." Discord slowly said as if he was explaining it to a foal. "I have no control over what that spell does" Fluttershy's thirst was getting even worse her mouth feeling she took a bite of sand . "So in other words you can't fix it" "No... but maybe you could. You are where my claw would be" Fluttershy tried in vain to close her eyes, wiggle her ears, snort but nothing happened. Discord then noticed Fluttershy's wings wasn't moving and was pinned to her body. His eyebrows raised "Do winged... I mean pegasuses usually not use their wings?" "It's pegasi, and... I don't want to talk about it" "It could be a way to cast the magic" Fluttershy looked really sad about that. She stretched her wings but then she suddenly shook her head. A river of tears flowed down and she quickly withdrew her wings. She ended up whimpering. She then spotted a nearby birds nest Fluttershy's sorrow instantly turned to joy. Maybe he wasn't expecting it or she was that strong. But she flapped her wings dragging him to where the tree was. "What!..Hey! You can use those..." She pointed her hooves to her lips "SHHHH! Look a little baby bird it's trying to fly" "Really? This is what you were excited about?" He sarcastically said She completely ignored him and focused solely on the bird. The baby bird flapped as hard as it could at the end of the nest. "Oh come on little guy, you can do it!" Discord placed his lion paw on his face, sighed and rolled his eyes. The baby bird did a leap of faith Fluttershy reacted by gasping sure, that the bird would hit the ground. But then the bird successfully flew. She clapped her hooves above her head in glee. As soon she clapped her hooves,  A six pack of cola suddenly leaded on Discord's head She gasped in worry "Are you okay?" After stars circled around his head he uttered a "I'm fine" Fluttershy looked at the six pack of cola "Oh my, Cherry Colta Cola my favorite" Discord just gave her a look "I was really...really thirsty" she sheepishly said Discord groaned sat up opened one of the colas' lid with his mouth and said "The gods must be crazy"
