Once again I was walking through the darkness that is my dreams, I kept walking in the darkness until a bright light appeared and Discord was standing in front of me with a not to pleasing look.

"Well hey Discord I thought you would appear sense I don't really dream anything anyway." I joked rubbing the back of my head.

"What in the name of tardis are you doing boy?" Discord asked leaning into my face with his.

I raised a brow, "What did I do?"

Discord groaned and backed away from me, "I mean why aren't you using your power I didn't give you the power of chaos to brag about." he said pointing at me.

I sighed, "Look man I've been trying really I've been using my emotion like you told me and thinking with my imagination but when I try to use my magic all that comes out are tiny things." I retorted, I have been trying to use my power like he told me to and I only succeeded in only making a tiny cotton candy cloud and a sheath for my new sword and that alone was hard work.

Discord raised a brow, "What emotions were you using?"

"Uhhh Happiness, Joy other emotion like that." I replied and suddenly the guy slapped me across my face and I went falling to the ground rubbing my I looked up at him, "What the hell!"

He shook his head, "Boy I knew you were stupid before but now you really pass my expectations." he said and sighed I got up from the ground and scorned at him.

"And please tell me what I did wrong?!" I demanded.

"What you did wrong," Discord said as he but his hand to his hips, "how strong is you happiness and joy Boy?" 

I shrugged, "I don't know strong enough, what does this have to do with my power though?" I asked.

"Boy what did I tell you before your power is based on how strong your emotions are.." he paused to put his hand on my shoulder, "..and be honest...do you really have any happiness left in your heart?"

I opened my mouth to answer but it closed and I bowed my head, did I really have any happiness left in me....after losing her, I looked back at Discord, "Alright if I don't have any happy emotion left then what should I do?" I asked.

"What else but to give into your dark emotion." Discord said holding out his claws evilly, "Think boy you have other emotions Hate, Anger, Fear, Frustration use them!"

I thought about it for a minute, "But what if I don't want to use those emotions?

Discord sighed, "Well I guess you don't have to but it would be more fun to see your power reach It peek plus," he said then lifting his hand, "Aren't you curious of what chaos you could bring." he snapped his fingers and an anvil hit the top of my head.

****

I shot up from the ground fully awake in pain, "Ouch!" I screamed that anvil felt so real I could feel it now, after rubbing my head I looked around to find Star shield working on the map.

Star shield looked up at me, "Oh your awake good, you know your a pretty heavy sleeper." he said I got up and walked to him.

"So did you figure out how to get to Ponyville from here?" I asked.

He nodded, "Yup its a long way to get there but we can make it if we take a train from Trotting Ham and ride there." Star replied pointing to a what I think is a city on the map.

I smiled, "Great so how long till we get there?" 

"Two weeks."

My smile instantly disappeared, "Two weeks is it really that long!?" I asked astonished Star nodded and started putting his saddle bag, "Yeah I know its a bit long but hay lets look on the bright side we now have a way there."

I sighed and nodded but then I thought of something, "Hey were did you get that saddle bag?"

He looked at me and scowled, "You have a sword I have a bag lets stop it there and get going." he retorted continuing to pack.

I shrugged and went back over to my now sheathed sword picked it up and slung the strap over my shoulder, "Alright lets go."

Back at the Bar we abandoned yesterday the barbarians were having their usual fun drinking and fighting with one another till suddenly the door busted open everypony looked to see a least likely creature entering the building, standing in the door way was a small group of Changelings standing in the door.

One came forward dressed in armor and slightly bigger then the rest, "Did anypony here see a Unicorn and a strange creature roaming around and coming past her earlier?" the Changeling hissed.

"Maybe so what if we did, what about it?" asked the bartender at the counter rudely.

The Changelings behind the armor one hissed until he raised a hoof and they stopped, "You see my good stallion one is very important and the other has to pay for killing our comrades."

A pony at a table scuffed, "So what if one of you bugs die." 

The Armored Changeling looked at him and stopped his hoof as soon as he did five of the Changelings behind him jumped at the pony at the table and attacked him, the pony screamed in terror as the Changelings ripped at him and when they got off of him he was covered in bite marks and blood.

"Now that I have your attention," the leader said getting everypony's attention back, "we are willing to pay anypony to hunt down these two and bring them in to us." then pulling out a bag from his side he threw it down and when it hit the ground a bunch of bits fail out.

"And there is more if you bring back the unicorn unharmed and safe as for the strange creature you can do as you please."

"So what do you need of the unicorn?" said a deep loud voice in the back.

The Changeling looked to see the minotaur, "That is none of your concern all we wish is for you to find him and bring him back to us and all this is yours." he said pointing to the coins on the floor.

The Minotaur got up from his seat revealing his true length he was so tall he almost reached the ceiling he walked in front of the Changeling and bend over to be face to face with him making him a bit nervous, "I accept your offer," he said then looking back at the rest of the ponies, "come on boys lets make some bits!"

Everypony yelled in the room and followed the giant out the door to their targets, the changeling leader smiled as he watched them leave and chuckled, "The queen will be very please when we bring back her 'little pony'."
