"Discor-oh." Twilight said, staring at the tiny Draconequus sitting between Fluttershy's wings.
"Uh...what happened to Discord?" Spike asked.
Discord glared at Twilight and Spike and leapt off Fluttershy's back, tiny wings fluttering in order to slow his descent. The small Draconequus stood tall, or as tall as he could stand, at least. He clearly was not eager to let Twilight and Spike baby him, Fluttershy doing so was fine since A) Discord had been still dazed from what had happened last night and hadn't thought of acting like he had simply shape shifted and B) it was Fluttershy, Discord trusted Fluttershy. But letting other ponies baby him did not sound fun at all.
"I don't know." Fluttershy replied, watching Discord. "I found him like this in the woods."
"Whoever did this was clearly skilled with magic to be able to use an age spell." Twilight mused, more to herself than to Spike or Fluttershy.
"Do you have any idea of who or what could have that kind of magic?" Spike asked.
"No. The only pony I can think of besides the Princesses would have to be Trixie. But she loves making a show of things, if it was her, we'd know of it."
"Do you know any counterspell?" Fluttershy asked.
"Unfortunately I do not. Age spells are advanced and difficult to learn. They also take up a lot of a unicorn's, or an Alicorn's, magic." Twilight replied, looking at Discord. "But I promise I will try my best to find a counterspell or learn to use an Age spell."
"Okay, then. thank you, Princess." Fluttershy said. "Come on, Discord."
Discord looked at Fluttershy, then to Twilight and Spike. He didn't appear very eager to ride on Fluttershy's back or anything of the sort as long as they were around.
"You don't have to call me princess, Fluttershy, we're still friends." Twilight said as Fluttershy and Discord were leaving, Fluttershy having decided to let Discord walk if he wanted to.
Twilight shut the door of the library and began searching through the books.
"Spike, where is that book Celestia gave me as a coronation gift?" Twilight asked.
"Right here, Twi." The dragon replied, holding a large leather bound book.
"Thank you, Spike." Twilight said, picking the book up with her magic.
Twilight began flipping through the pages, muttering to herself about age spells and other things Spike couldn't make out. Suddenly, Twilight stopped flipping through the pages.
"Spike, do you feel something?" Twilight asked.
"Like what?" Spike replied.
"I'm not sure, but it feels like a powerful source of magic is nearby. And I don't think it's friendly." Twilight said. "It feels like...Dark Magic."
"Like the kind we discovered in the Crystal Palace when you opened that door?" Spike asked, shuddering when he thought about what he'd seen through the door.
"Exactly, only this feels more powerful." Twilight's wings twitched nervously, as if Twilight wanted to fly away.
Suddenly, a powerful burst of magic shot through the window. Twilight knew the dark purple and green tinged colour. it was Dark Magic. Twilight spread her wings, a powerful bolt of violet magic shooting from her horn to form a shield around herself and Spike.
"Princess twilight Sparkle." A voice rumbled.
Twilight looked around, the voice seemed to come from everywhere at once. Spike noticed something laying on the floor. It was a page from the book Twilight had been looking through. How it had survived, Spike had no idea, but he grabbed the page.
"Uh...Twilight?" Spike said, handing the page to Twilight.
Twilight looked at the page.
King Sombra was not alone when he took over the Crystal Empire. The Crystal Ponies would have been too strong for a single unicorn. Sombra had the help of his brother, Obscuro Noctis,more commonly known as Noctis, a powerful unicorn who had discovered a way to make himself an Alicorn using Dark Magic. Noctis was skilled in Dark Magic and was the one who taught Sombra to control shadow, which Sombra had quickly showed a talent for.
Twillight looked at Spike. "Sombra had a brother? Why didn't Princess Celestia tell me?"
"Maybe she didn't know." Spike suggested
"Could Noctis have something to do with Discord being deaged? But why would he attack Discord? Why not the princesses, Equestria's rulers? Or the Elements of Harmony, Equestria's defenders?" Twilight mused, speaking more to herself than to Spike.
"Spike, send a letter to Princess Celestia, tell her about Noctis. I need to tell the girls." Twilight said, looking around to make sure Dark Night was gone.
"Yes, ma'am!" Spike said, grabbing some parchment and writing the letter.

OOH THIS GON' BE GUD~
he is the dark night equestrian deserves, but not the one it wants
Leather? In Equestria? The cows are not going to be happy about this...
Amazing! My day is literally the best I've had in years, and an update, even if a small one, appears suddenly! :D
What I like about this fic, is that for now, it gives me same feel as an actual episode would. It's so packed with awesomeness but it just flies through the story. This is not a problem in my opinion, but I'd like to see as much of cute Discord taken care by Fluttershy as possible.
And nice job, the villain is "meh" but at least it's not "ridiculously meh" xD
I can see Dark Magic being able to do that to Discord, but only Dark Magic. And since we know near nothing about Sombra, it's fine to throw a brother in.
Good job!
3652462 Thanks! Your comment is greatly appreciated.
And about the villain, I'll try to make him more interesting and less "meh". But I did figure Dark Magic would probably be the only thing that would stop Discord. I'm planning on writing some more about Noctis, like his past with Sombra. I'll most likely write in the form of a seperate story/one shot since i don't see any places where I might squeeze a chapter about them in.
As for more Discord and Fluttershy, there will be more in upcoming chapters. This story does revolve around those two, after all. So don't worry about not seeing them.
Great chapter
the story so far
-Sly Moon-
My only questions are:
How did Noctis get resurrected?
Why didn't he help Sombra take over the Crystal Empire?
Why has he decided to reveal himself now?
3652610 I'm still working on Noctis, but he and Sombra were seperated when Celestia and Luna defeated them. Sombra was able to return, but Noctis had used much of his power fighting the princesses, so it took longer for him to gather enough strength to resurrect. But that theory is still being worked on, I'll be working on a little side story (most likely a one shot) about Sombra and Noctis that will hopefully anser your questions better. In this chapter, I justwanted to establish who Noctis is, laer chapters may uncover more about him. And keep an eye out for my Sombra/Noctis side story.
3652662 Okay, thanks for explain it that. I also think you should do a one-shot.
And I am also glad that you dealt with everypony' s questions concerning why Discord was so eager to be babies and have Fluttershy to be his mommy, not in a shipping way. (And I guess this would include diapers and bottles and stuff.)

The only reason it's"meh" so far is because I simply don't know anything about it.
It's actually more of a "cool meh" than "nah meh"... lolwat
So yeah, the villain seems pretty awesome, just a bit overpowered but HEY! Villains are always a bit OP in a way!
Edit:
HAPPAP! Posted before meant to.
He is not "OP OP", but rather "Show-accurate OP".
Sombra is also my 2nd favorite villain, but I think it's only for his powers and lack of backstory. All we know about him, as a character, for certain is "spooky smoky dark magic, BLEH".
3652662 I have a few idea for Noctis
1. He put himself in a state of suspended animation and was in the everfree forest and once he freed himself he used dark magic to steal the life force of the trees around him
Daaaaang! I was kinda assuming Trollestia was the one that zapped Discord
Nice 2nd chaoter with a nice touch of foreshadowing. Good job
Soooooo? Nightmare Moon on Striords
But she had the Alicorn Amulet
I honestly don't get dark's intentions, just like twilight. On of the princesses or the element bearers I can understand, but why discord?
The only idea I can come up with is that discord's chaos magic has a resistance to dark magic, so to make things easier, he unsourced discord wouldn't be able to use chaos magic by turning him into a baby?
