We went to what looked like a maze entrance when the creature appeared again.
"So this is where the search begins," I said.
That moment twilight and rarity lost their horns and Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy loosing their wings.
Those four want into a slight panic.
The creature then appeared again, laughing his unearthly laugh.
"You should see the looks on your....." He started before I kicked a stone at him which bounced off like a rubber ball.
"It is always the same with villains," I said complacently annoyed, "Always, only delaying the inevitable. So do us all a favor and get to the point."
The creature frowned, "Well spoil sport this is just to keep you from cheating in the game," He then sliped right behind me and continued, "Everypony must play or the game is over, no magic or flying is allowed." he then vanished as if he was never there.
"Coward!!" I yelled.
Unannounced to me the other six had stepped into the maze, that was until they let out a blood curdling scream and the maze being sealed off.
"You seriously didn't pick up on his word play," the gem in my hand said.
"Me, Discord, use petty word play, nonono," The creature said appearing on my shoulder, "I use an assortment of gags and tricks to create an art of chaos and fun in an array in which I see fit," he said rather quickly and vanishing before I could crush him like an insect. He then appeared in front of me, "Man of two worlds, madness swirls, and your mind is mine to undo," He said his eyes flowing in a flurry of colors but in a pattern that was just barely noticeable.
"Do you think my mind is weak enough to succumb to hypnosis," I started my eyes turning a shade of grey and my voice slowly becoming aggitated in tone, "The change that you want...... will not change me to your liking!!"
"My work is done time to mess with something less resistant."
I yelled in agony as my grey eyes started going the same flurry of colors that discords were stopping when they hit an azure shade in one eye and black in the other.
"The blue fire demands freedom," A voice yelled as my eyes turned back to normal as all of my energy was forced into a small sphere with a blue blur launching out and turning towards the sky and vanishing leaving me with only exhaustion and a weight on my shoulder.
"Please tell me you haven't lost them," the voice said, calmer and clearer then the first time.
A bit disoriented from being yanked out of a failed hypnosis and something using all of my energy to come here wasn't the best combination.
"Anyone home," the voice said the clarity of the voice reminded me of a phoenix. yet reminded me of the Black Terror.
