//------------------------------// // Friend or foe? // Story: dark destiny // by treeant //------------------------------// "Okay the this isn't funny Discord, so quit hiding and show your self." Ertenots had been looking for Discord for hours. But all he found was chaos. Birds flew backwards, the ground turned into sandpits and then it started to snow. "Why can't he just show up and say, hello Ertenots I'm tired of tormenting you. Lets change you back to your normal self." Ertenots sighed. "That is never going to happen. So I better find him. Who knows maybe he's in a good mood." Ertenots hoped off the ground. "Lets fly." But he could barely stay airborne and it was harder to move forward. Ertenots landed on his hooves and looked up. "Why is this so hard. It was easier last night." Ertenots stopped. "Could it be that my powers don't work well during the day? well at least I look normal" Than he suddenly heard a twisted laugh he had only heard before he ran away into the Everfree forest. "Discord." Ertenots ran towards the laugh but stopped dead when he saw Discord and two..... "Oh no." Ertenots ducked behind a nearby house. "Princess Celestia and Luna why are they here... and why are they in a magic bubble?" Ertenots heard Discord laugh. " You should see your self's right now. The expressions on your face. So intense, so sure of your self's." Discord said and laughed harder, while the princesses put there horns together. Then a rainbow shoot out and headed for Discord. "hilarious ha ha ha haaa....." The rainbow hit Discord and turned him to stone. Then there was a rainbow colored explosion that passed right through Ertenots but change everything else to normal. Ertenots looked around. "This is so not fair." Than he heard Celestia and Luna talking. "What do we do with Discord now sister?" "I don't know Luna but we'll find a place for him somewhere. It's to bad he would not be our friend he could have done great things with his magic." "Can we be sure all is as it should be again?" Luna asked and looked around. "The Elements of harmony can undo all magic. The one thing they can't do is raise the dead. we are lucky Discord doesn't kill." Ertenots slipped away and ducked into the nearest house. And closed the doors. "So I'm not under a spell. I'm just undead." Ertenots sunk to the floor. "What now? the princesses elements can't help me, Discord is to stoned to help me." Ertenots looked at the sunlight coming through a small window on the house as the sun set. " I have to get out of here. now that Discord is gone the owners of this house might come back home." " No one lives here anymore." Ertenots stopped dead in his tracks and turned to see a pony with a mask, in a hooded blue robe standing in the middle of the house. "Oh sorry just hiding form Discord didn't know this house was full..." Ertenots said and tried to open the doors. "I know what you are and I have an offer for you vampire" Ertenots was startled. "A vampire, where?" Ertenots looked around. "I don't see any vampires here. You should get you eye sight checked." Ertenots got the door open and quickly and jumped out, slamming the doors behind him. Than he ran and he didn't stop running until he was miles away and the moon was high in the sky. "Okay that is one pony I hop I never see again." "You really should hear me out." If Ertenots had been still a live, he would have died from the shock of hearing that voice coming from behind him. He turned and looked at the pony standing behind him. Who was that? "I'm somepony who could give your live meaning." Ertenots backed away. He couldn't tell if it was a female or male pony and why was the strange pony following him?. Ertenots Turned and was about to run away again. When the pony said. "You know you can't die right? So you have two options. Run away and walk this earth aimlessly forever or work with me. Together we can put your powers to good use. What do you say?" Ertenots looked back to the pony and thought for a moment, then he smiled nervously. "Well if I'm going to live forever might just as well have company for awhile." "Wise choose, here." The pony pulled out a red cape from under it's rope and a pair of glasses. than magically threw them to Ertenots. Who looked at them and than looked at the pony puzzled. "The cape will let you use your powers no problem during the day and the glasses will magically hide the purple in your eyes." Ertenots dried to but the cape on but was having trouble doing it. "You do have Telekinesis you know" Ertenots looked up puzzled. "You can move things with your mind, here just let me." Then the cape fixed it self on him and the glasses settled on his nose. " Come. We should practice your Telekinesis control so you don't blow something up with your mind when you sneeze." Ertenots and the pony walked off together. Ertenots felt uneasy but following this pony seemed wise at least for now.
