The Human And The Well

by Zandar13


I Am Human, You Are Discord, And She Is Chaos

---------- 4 PM, Adrians Room ----------

I have no clue as to what my face looks like right now but I am pretty sure it is a completely new look I probably invented in response to what just happened. The Discord Look. Cause it is because of Discord that I look like this now, just a mass of pure confusion and thoughts full of chaos. And sitting all nice and cozy in my lap is a strange multicolored and patterned egg that said God of Chaos gifted unto me.

Oh and said egg was now shaking and wiggling around, getting ready to hatch.

Worst. Apology. Ever.

---------- 1 Hour Ago, Middle Of Nowhere ----------

“DISCORD?! WHAT IN BLAZES ARE YOU DOING?” I shouted at the top of my lungs at the familiar scary feeling of being flown through the sky, legs dangling while the clouds rush past my face.

“Why my boy! I am simply taking you somewhere where we can talk in private! Oh look! You can see Celestias old castle from here!” Discord calmly said while he pointed down with his tail...hand...fluff....thing. Ignoring the weirdness for just a second I followed where he was pointing, I saw an old, ruined castle sitting alone in the middle of the Everfree Forest. I wonder what happened?

“Well what happened was that dear little Luna became jealous of everypony praising Celestia and her Sun while they all ignored and slept through the night and blah blah blah. So she went evil, turned into Nightmare Moon and tried to beat Celestia but failed and became banished to the moon for a thousand years. A little under dramatic for my taste. I would of fired her out of a cannon to the ice moon of Klepto!” he happily explained. But how did he know I wanted to know what happened?

“Oh my dear boy, I can read minds of course! Though Fluttershy has made me promise to cut down on it cause it makes others nervous and distrustful. Hmmm, probably not a good idea for me to do so since I am trying to apologize to you” he explained again.

“Apologize?” I asked just loud enough.

“Later dear boy, later. Much to busy up here in the clouds to talk. Ah ha! Perfect! Please keep your hands and legs inside the cart while we prepare to land. Air Discord out!” he said. He made it sound like a mix between a roller coaster ride and a plane preparing to land. But just as he said, we ever so slightly curved downward and plummeted to the ground at high speeds. He is trying to kill me!

“GAHHHH!” I hollered out in fear. I looked up to try and talk some sense into him but he had his eyes closed and was laughing up a storm. OH MY GOD I AM GOING TO DIE! I shut my eyes and waited for the inevitable.

SPLOOT

Ok, now this is weird. I still had my eyes closed but now instead of feeling and hearing the wind bombard me, I heard nothing but silence while I felt something slimy touch all over my body. Taking a moment to make sure my heart was not about to explode, I slowly opened my eyes, only to see that I was surrounded by something green, slimy, and jiggly. I also realized that I could breathe normally, though the substance instantly filled in my mouth the second I opened my mouth to breath.

Wait. It tastes just like lime. HOLD ON A SECOND. Green jiggly slime that tastes like lime? HE FRIGGEN MADE A LIME JELLO LANDING PAD?!?!

I am not amused. Not in the slightest. But before my scowl could fully form, I heard a loud slurping sound and soon the jello around me disappeared before I heard a pair of lips smacking behind me. Turning around, I saw that it was Discord smacking his green stained lips with a content smile on his face. “Ah, nothing hits the spot better than green jelly!” he declared.

I said nothing as I glared at him. I simply had no words for this but I still wanted to get my point across. So I let my eyes do all the talking, which apparently worked cause I saw his skin-fur tingle and stand on edge. “Burrrrrrr! Now, what is with that chilling gaze? Don't tell me you don't like lime?! Hmmm, maybe you are more of a strawberry kind of stallion?” he said in all seriousness.

“Strawberry banana actually, but that is besides the point! What in the world do you think you are doing? Kidnapping me then giving me a heart attack?! I have not seen you since the Crystal Empire and this is how you greet me!?” I loudly stated in a frustrated tone.

“Hehe, yes. I do apologize for that. I am not the best at friendly interactions, another lesson Fluttershy has been trying to teach me. But for a while I was trying my best to think of the best way to contact you but after two whole days of thinking I threw all those plans away and just decided to do what I do best. Chaos!” Discord explained.

I felt my eye twitch for only a second before I dragged my hands across my face and sighed. “So, what is it you want?” I asked with an irritated voice this time.

“Ah, straight to the point! I like that!” he said. But instead of continuing on in a happy fashion, he slumped over a bit and adopted a sad look on his face, while he twiddled with his mismatched thumbs. “I actually want to apologize to you Adrian. If you are willing to listen to this old fool”

Hmmm, interesting. He certainly seemed serious in his proposal and though he is the master of chaos, I feel like I can trust him in this moment of calmness. So I internally braced myself for anything before nodding my head. He smiled a little before he cleared his throat “Adrian, I really am terribly sorry for.... well everything I suppose. I truly had no idea that something like that would of happened”

“I was honestly shocked to see such a reaction occur and I felt afraid, something I had not felt since Tirek took away my magic and my previous incarcerations. I have been wanting to speak to you but after being talked and yelled at by Twilight, Cadence, Luna, and Tia I wanted to give you space. So I began to stew in my thoughts and one thing led to another and here I am”

“I thank you for not informing Fluttershy yet about this ordeal, I think she would have been very upset and hurt to hear about you and what I did. I hope you can forgive this old troublemaker” Discord concluded by sticking out his clawed hand. I think I surprised him again by almost instantly taking his hand in my own and gave it a firm shake.

“Don't be so shocked Master of Chaos, I had already forgiven you a while ago. And like I told everyone else, I was the one who agreed to the idea and allowed you to use your magic on me. I trusted Celestia and everyone else, so I was sure that you did not do that intentionally. Yes I was greatly surprised and maybe a little mad originally but I think that would be natural if something of that magnitude happened to anyone else. I am very happy though that you found me, cause I had been wanting to talk about all that and tell you my thoughts” I said to him.

“I see” was all he said before he began to stroke his beard. His eyes examined me top to bottom a few times before he bursted out into laughter. “You truly are a mysterious being Adrian. No wonder they all like you”

I don't know why but I could not help but grin at the compliment “It is an honor for the Lord of Chaos to compliment me” I said to him as I did a quick little bow. At this we both bursted out into a laughing fit for a few minutes. I had to wipe my eyes to get the tears out before I regained my normal composure. “Hey Discord, do you have the time?”

Discord stuck his lion pawed finger into his mouth, before sticking the now saliva coated digit into the air and hummed. “Goodness me, it is already four thirty! Time flies when you are being nice!” he informed me.

Ignoring how that told him the time, I said “Well, I think we should probably be heading back soon. Before Twilight and the gang come looking for me since Miss Cheerilee probably has already informed them of what you did”

“Good point. But before that, I want to present to you a gift as a way to solidify our new friendship!” Discord happily exclaimed. But as I was going to ask what it was, he quickly swooped up next to me and simultaneously plucked a piece of my long, white hair and pricked my finger, getting a small bit of blood on his talon.

“Ow! What the heck-” I tried to say but he ignored me as he summoned a small black cauldron, placing my hair and blood inside, and began to stir with a wooden spoon. Then with a snap of his fingers, the boiling pot was replaced with a chocolate bar that strangely looked like me. Ok now this is getting weird.

But once again, just as I was going to ask he suddenly threw the chocolate mini-me into his mouth and swallowed it whole. Ok, enough is enough. “Um. Discord? What in Equestria was that all about?” I asked with a highly confused face.

His response was to give me a wink with a finger held up to his mouth, as to shush me, while his other hand sat on top of what I am guessing is his belly. A minute went by in silence before I saw his stomach expand a little and with every passing second the bump grew and grew. Finally when it had grown to the size of a beach ball, it had stopped growing but the weirdness continued.

Next I saw Discord summon a large, empty bird nest, which he flew to and squatted in a weird position. He began to grunt, pant, and whimper at whatever he was doing, and much to my surprise yet again I saw in the next few moments a medium sized egg simply appear right where he was squatting. It just dawned on me that I literally just witnessed him laying an egg.

My face was askew in confusion once more, in a fashion that made Discord laugh out loud. He then gently picked up the again and cradled it in his arms before flying over to me in order to hand it to me. Now, I am a man that is not prone to swearing but the weirdness factor has just crossed the line. “Ok, Discord. What in the ever living fuck just happened?” I sternly asked him.

“Now now Adrian! This is a time of celebration! And Congratulations! You are the father of our future daughter!” Discord said with a happy smile on his face. “Now I know what you are thinking, how could I possibly know our new child is a girl? Well because when I took in your DNA I thought about how a female would think and feel giving birth, so that thought process of female thinking went into the making and out popped a girl! That and it says so here on the bottom” he informed me by softly turning the egg down and pointed to the small engraving in the bottom that said 'Female Egg'

“Now, now I know what you are thinking again what could be more important than this? Why her name of course! Now, lets see here. Pandora? Nah, already done. Illusion? Eh, sounds more like a Princes name. Eris! No, no, no. Sounds like she should have a wand or something. Hmmm. Don't worry Adrian, I know your thoughts are swirling around like a Maelstrom about her name....” he stopped just as a bell starting ringing over his head.

“Maelstrom! A perfect name for my little chaotic daughter! Oops, I mean our little chaotic daughter! Now, lets get you back to your house. I want her to hatch in a homely environment” Discord concluded as he snatched me up and held me in his arms while I in turn held the egg in my arms. The ride back was a slow and silent one as I tried to piece my shattered mind back together.

---------- 4:15 PM, Adrians Room ----------

I continuously stared at the wiggling egg in my lap, mainly at the new engraving which read 'Maelstrom' on the front, which Discord put there after he dropped me off in my room using his magic to write it with his talon. This is a nightmare, it has to be. I mean, I get that his name is Discord and he likes causing Chaos and disorder, but no one would be that crazy to literally make a child at the drop of a hat and just give it away. Right?

So I gave my arm a hard couple of pinches, which hurt, so that implied that this was not a dream and that Luna was not going to glide it to comfort me. Which also means that sitting in my lap is the egg which holds my future daughter, whose parents are a human from another world and the Lord of Chaos. OH GOD. Does that mean I am the dad and he is the mom? A mom-dad? Dad-mom? UGH. Wait! That is not important, what am I going to do about this?!

I can't be a dad! I am not ready for that kind of responsibility! Discord is a lousy friend, who just gives birth to solidify a new found friendship?! I am not even going to think about how that worked in the first place. Oh man, what do I do? What do I do?! WHAT DO I DO?!?

CRACK.... CRACK.... HISS

Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! OH no, no! NO! This is not happening! Oh gods! Please Luna! Nightingale! SOMEONE PLEASE WAKE ME UP!

POP

And like that, the egg shell seemed to just explode and shatter noiselessly against the walls before fading into thin air. I had shut my eyes immediately after I heard the pop, as to try and maintain what little sanity I have left before gazing upon the abomination that is now sitting in my lap. What do I do now? I can't just get up and leave it alone, as if it is trash to throw away. I could feel the surging of magic and emotions swirling around inside of me again, almost as bad as when I learned the truth about my mother.

I gladly would of gone my entire life without having to feel this again, but here it is, tormenting me once more. My tightly shut eyes began to tear up as I tried my best to ignore the creature which, at the moment, I had no problem doing since my mind was going blank and my emotions overflowed out of my body. I had no idea how to even rationally think about this, I felt like I was standing on the edge of a mountain, trying to balance myself between firm ground of sanity and the bottomless ravine of insanity and fear below.

My eyes starting leaking more and more tears, which fell down off my face and probably sprinkling the little thing below me, sitting patiently in my lap. I could not help but cry out into the open now as my voice gave way to the pain I was feeling. So I just stopped thinking about everything and just focused on good memories, the times with Cadence, my welcome to Ponyville party, the concert, and any other time I was laughing and smiling with those strange and mysterious ponies.

It helped me stitch myself back together, piece by piece, and within a minute or so I no longer felt like a balloon ready to pop. But something greatly surprised me, when I began to sniffle I felt something soft, almost like a paw, gently pat my face and I heard a sad little whimper call out. Forgetting for a moment the reason why I closed my eyes, I opened my eyes back up to see what the soft paw and whimper belonged to.

What I saw in front of me was not a small little abomination or a tiny, freaky creature that would make the town run away in terror. Instead I saw a tiny little ball of fur with legs, and tail, and a pair of pretty eyes that stared at me. Her body had yellow fur that ran all the way back to her back hooves, but stopped at her tail, front legs, and head. Her head fur blended at the neck with yellow but gave way to a gray color like Discords own head.

However, her head seemed more like a foals and she had two little brown stubs adorned on top which was almost covered up by her white colored mane that led down to the small mohawk that led down the back of her head and neck. Her right front leg looked like that of a dragons, a small purple claw while her left front leg, which was still pawing at my cheek, looked like a lions paw but with red fur. Her small tail was exactly like Discords but was colored a dark blue with a white tuft on the end. She also had a matching pair of folded up wings on her back, but I could not tell what kind of wings they are.

Finally her eyes, her pretty eyes were what struck me the most, mainly because they looked familiar. They were a weird combination of Discords yellow eye with my ice blue irises, but she had big eyes that stared at me lovingly with concern. It was like she already knew how I felt and was trying to comfort me. What really struck me now though was that I saw her own eyes start to water, she was about to start crying along with me.

So without thinking I quickly wiped my eyes clean before gently cupping her small face and used my thumbs to wipe clear her own tears. This seemed to of worked since she went back to simply staring at me with her pretty eyes. I stared back as I ran my eyes over her form over and over again, I saw all the different parts of her did not think it was weird, ugly, freaky, or a horrid affront to nature. She was beautiful.

That one word invaded my mind and replaced all the negative thoughts and fears that only moments ago smothered my brain. This small little thing was beautiful and she was my daughter.

“GASP” I suddenly said out loud after I thought that. This beautiful little thing was my daughter, this bizarre and small creature was my daughter. I smiled. I smiled as I suddenly felt happy and giddy declaring that she was my daughter, heck I might have been floating off the ground for all I cared. What made it even better was after I smiled and stroked her cheeks a bit with my thumbs, she gave a tiny little smile in return and giggled.

I could not hold her back anymore, so I slowly wrapped my hands around her in order to bring her up to my neck and gently hugged her against me. I felt her small hands grasp the sides of my neck just as she began to nuzzle me, I even saw her tail slightly swing back and forth. Alright, I guess I can forgive Discord for this one as well. BUT that does not mean I am not going to give him hell when I see him again.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

“Adrian? Are you in there?” I suddenly heard Twilight ask on the other side of the door.

I felt Maelstrom cringe a bit and she curled up into my neck a little. Instantly I brought a hand up and began to pet her, which helped but she still shook a bit. So I did my best to twist my head over to kiss her cheek, that calmed her down immediately as she stopped shaking but she remained curled up. Deciding that is the best I can do for now, I held her in one hand while I stood up and faced the door.

“Yes, I am. Come in Twilight but calmly” I said to her. I did not want her to smash the door open and frighten Maelstrom. Thankfully she did not slam open the door, instead she quietly opened the door and walked in though she already saw the little one on by my neck.

“Thank goodness your safe. When Miss Cheerilee said Discord grabbed and flew you away, I assumed the worst. I do trust him, but I still worry when he does... anything” Twilight said to me. “The rest of the girls are downstairs, worrying about you”

“I see, well I better not hold them up. But can you go first and tell them not to panic or make loud noises and just stay calm? I do not want them to scare her” I told her.

“Her? Who is she anyway? She kinda looks familiar” Twilight said back.

“All in good time Twilight, it would be easier to say in front of you all” I said. So Twilight nodded her head yes before heading out the door, going downstairs. Once she left I gently pulled Maelstrom down from my neck and cradled her in my arms. She was just a little bit smaller than Sweetie Bell but still just as adorable and probably a little more, only cause she is my daughter.

I wanted to make her laugh again before heading down, so I flicked my finger over her belly fluff and sure enough, she was giggling ever so sweetly again. So while I walked I continued to play with her belly until she softly grabbed it, along with the rest of my hand and snuggled up against it with a content look on her face. It is not fair that almost every creature here can be so cute!

So with her all snuggled up, I slowly made my way down into the library where the six of them patiently and thankfully calmly awaited, though they all homed in on Maelstrom with their eyes.

“Adrian, oh thank goodness you are alright. I mean, I knew that Discord would never hurt you but he has poor impulse controls from time to time. So when we all heard that Discord took off with you, well I could not help but worry” Fluttershy said first. The other nodded in agreement.

“Well I am happy to say that nothing bad happened, he simply wanted to apologize about something he accidentally did to me back in the Crystal Empire” I simply said.

“Well thank goodness darling. With Discord anything could happen! But now I am curious, who is that cute little thing in your arms deary?” Rarity asked.

I took a quick look at Maelstrom who happily looked back up at me while she continued to cuddle with my hand. How am I going to explain you? Heck, I was there and I still don't know how it happened. “Ummmmm........ well, ah lets see. I...... alright. I have no idea how to properly explain it, since I don't even know. So I will simply tell you the short and confusion version”

“Basically, Discord got a piece of my hair and some blood, boiled them into a piece of chocolate that looked like me, ate it whole, became pregnant and went full term in a matter of minutes, laid an egg and told me that the egg was our daughter, said egg hatched fifteen minutes later and gave birth to my daughter, Maelstrom. And that's it!” I quickly explained to them all. Good news was that I now knew exactly how The Discord Look looked when I did it earlier. Bad news was I think I broke them. My life in a nutshell.

Minutes rolled by and the only sound to breach the silence of the library was the playful giggles of Maelstrom who was playing with my hand. Glad to know that at least one of us is taking the news well. Twilight finally took a step forward and had to physically close her gasping mouth so she could talk “For the moment, I am putting all Discord related questions to the side, except for one. With this child being born from the two of you, does that mean you two will be together or what?” she asked.

“I do not believe so, he told me that he wanted to give me a gift as to solidify our new friendship and then all that happened. But believe me Twilight, whenever he decides to come back, I will be giving him a large piece of my mind and more. But now I wonder how Derpy will react to this” I sadly responded as I began to think on that last part. How would Derpy react? We just got together and now all of a sudden I have a child?! It almost sounds like a crappy soap opera plot yet it is reality.

It seems at this new thought the others snapped out of their stupor and began thinking on how Derpy will react. “Maybe she will be cool with it?” Rainbow Dash suggested out of the blue.

“Cool wit' it? How in tarnations will Derpy be 'Cool wit' it' Rainbow Dash?” Applejack retorted.

“Well I mean, she obviously loves the big guy here right? So why would she be any different now that he had a magical kid? I mean, yeah I think some times would change but I don't think Derpy is the type of mare to dump him over something like this” Rainbow explained.

Wow, that was actually insightful and thoughtful of her. I think Tartarus just froze over. Heh, that little fact still freaks me out that their version of Hell actually exists and you can actually go in and out of there. Well, not easily and not normally, but still.

“She is right, I don't think Derpy would just up and dump you but I still think you should approach this situation with delicacy and tact. You should probably head over a little early and talk to her, this sort of conversation is not really one you should have over dinner” Twilight informed me.

“Yes, I think that would be best” I said before I let out a tired sigh and slumped on the closest couch.

“Everything al' right partner?” Applejack worryingly asked.

“I dunno, I am happy that I have a daughter and all but I just sort of wished life changing events would stop for a while. I don't even have a house or a job or anything yet in one day I have a marefriend and a kid! I am just waiting for my head to explode into a million bits with information overload on top of everything else” I tiredly said.

I heard the soft whoosh of wings flying over before I felt a hoof gently tap my leg. Looking up I saw Fluttershy sitting there with her kind smile “I don't know how to properly say I know this, since I have never been in any of these sort of situations before, but I think everything will work out in the end Adrian. You are a kind, brave, and strong pony, Adrian and you have so many friends surrounding you who I am sure would gladly help you with anything. So just keep your head up high and just continue being your wonderful self” she happily stated.

I could not help but happily grin at the shy, little pegasus with such a kind and warming heart. I quickly leaned over and placed a kiss on her forehead, which of course made her blossom red and squeaked a bit. “Thank you Fluttershy, I think that was exactly what I needed to hear” I said to her. She recovered pretty quickly and retook her place by the other girls. “Alright, well next thing I need to worry about is what to feed her. Do any of you know what, well whatever Discord eats?” I asked.

Four of five of them shook their heads no, the six head was Pinkies who was still frozen in place with The Discord Look. “I know that Discord usually eats whatever I eat whenever he comes over to visit but I do not know if a baby eats the same. You could probably ask Mr. and Mrs. Cake what they feed their two baby foals” Fluttershy suggested.

“Good idea, that works out well actually since I should probably drop Pinkie off their and hope she recovers from shock” I said. The other agreed and so with Maelstrom curled up in one arm and Pinkie tucked up in the other I made my way out to Sugarcube Corner. It took only a brisk seven to eight minute walk to get to the giant Gingerbread bakery store while the whole town looked over to the bizarre spectacle their newest resident, aka Me, was doing with a strange creature in arm and a paralyzed Pinkie in the other.

Thankfully the only bad thing to happen was me bumping my head on the upper door frame while entering the bakery. Once inside I was greeted warmly by who I assumed was Mrs. Cake, since she looked exactly how Pinkie described her, who asked what she could do for me today.

“Hello Mrs. Cake, well I am here to drop off a sweet package who is currently stuck in place due to shock” I said while pointing at Pinkie. The mare simply gave a light laugh at seeing the pink party pony like this, guess she is used to her shenanigans.

“Just place her in the back kitchen dearie, that usually does the trick after a few minutes” Mrs. Cake instructed. So I quickly placed her in the kitchen and went back out front to ask my question.

“Also, I have a question about this little one here in my arm. Basically due to Discord messing around, she was created and became my daughter. Since I know nothing about feeding a baby, let alone a foal from your world, I was hoping that you could give me some helpful tips and advice” I said to her.

“Oh my goodness! Well I would be happy to then! Here, could you watch the front for a few minutes while I go and write down a list of everything. You will probably need it dearie” the older mare explained. So I agreed to watch the front, with a quick tutorial on prices and how to run everything of course, while she did created the foal-to-do list.

Ten minutes and twenty customers later, Mrs. Cake came back with what looked like a ten page list and took back the front desk. “Here we are! I listed everything I could think off, from changing diapers to when they accidentally shoot fire from their horn to when they fly and get stuck on the ceiling. Also all the food they should eat and when. Though I am not sure if your little one is meat eater or not, but I did my best to compensate with that in mind. If you do need meat then the specialty shop down the way will be the best way to order some. And you have any other questions, then don't be afraid to ask!” she told me.

My throat felt very dry and no matter how many times I swallowed my spit, it would not go away. “It is normal to be totally nervous and have cold feet all of a sudden?” I nervously asked.

“Yes it is dearie, especially if it is unexpected parenthood. But you just have to remember that when times are rough and you feel like giving up, you have to find any sort of strength hidden inside to push yourself forward. Foals need their parent and/or parents to help them, without us they will die and it would be no ponies fault but our own for neglecting them. But most importantly, be sure to always give them love. Love is the one thing that will hold a family together” Mrs. Cake explained to me.

I let out a few nervous breaths before smiling “Thank you Mrs. Cake, I will be sure to do my best to raise her. I just hope I will be a good father to her” I said.

“I am sure you will, from all I have heard from Pinkie and the other girls, I think you will be an excellent father. But like I said, if you ever have a question or need anything, please come talk to me” she said.

“I will, well better go back to the castle and ask Twilight for help in getting this list of items together. Sorry again for sending Pinkie into shock and thank you for everything” I said to the older mare. With that we waved each other goodbye and I headed back to the castle with my little bundle in my arms. I wonder if I will ever have a normal day around here?

---------- 20 Minutes Later, Canterlot Castle: Royal Throne Room ----------

“-and that is the last document for the day. Lucky for you Princess that today was a slow day. Is there anything either of you need of me while I am gone?” I asked the two Royal sisters who were sitting together.

“Hmm, perhaps a nice cup of tea. Since it was a slow day today, I think some nice and relaxing tea would do wonders. How about you Luna?” Celestia informed me before asking Princess Luna.

“Tea sounds like a most excellent idea dear sister, that and perhaps a slice of cake!” Luna replied.

“I suppose we could. Raven, if you could please bring us some tea and two slices of cake and please grab something for yourself as well” Celestia asked of me.

“I would be delighted to Princess! Oh, looks like you have a letter as well!” I said as I saw the piece of parchment materialize in front of Princess Celestia.

“Ah, it is from Twilight Sparkle. Let us see here. …...... Oh, it appears Adrian is doing well and he even asked out that mare he liked and they are having dinner with each other tonight! How wonderful!” Celestia happily exclaimed.

“Tis most wonderful news indead dear sister! What else? What else?” Luna impatiently asked.

“Lets see, oh it appears Discord found him and properly apologized and what is this last part?” Both Celestia and Luna peered over the content of the letter together while I properly organized the scrolls and prepared to have them delivered. But just as I was about to leave, I felt a strange feeling in the air. Looking up, I saw that the two of them were staring at the wall with shocked faces and twitching eyes while Celestia appeared to almost tare the letter in half.

I was about to ask what was wrong when all of a sudden they both screamed at the top of their lungs in their Royal Canterlot voices. They said only one thing and it was a name that usually spelled trouble.

“DISCORD!!!”
