Where Is The Hope I Once Knew?

Discord was back home, in Chaosville. The draconequus was turning, and groaning uneasily in his bed, as he experienced a troubling dream.

In his vision, Discord finds himself in what appeared to be a dark endless void, while following the sound of Fluttershy's cry.

"Fluttershy?" Discord called. "Fluttershy? Fluttershy? Where are you?"

The draconequus stumbled blindly in the darkness, before he finds himself, in the halls of a murky, dank, dark dungeon. It wasn't long, before he heard Fluttershy's voice again. Only this time, she was singing.

While listening closely to Fluttershy's singing, Discord couldn't help but feel a slight pang of heartache, in his chest. Discord kept following the sound, before he found Fluttershy, covered from head to hooves, with chains and shackles, her once vibrant fur coat and mane, dulled and dusty. The very sight of it, brought tears to Discord's eyes.

Initially, her song sounded sad. But half-way through the lyrics, when Fluttershy sang the second verse, a newfound hope glowed, from her smile of confident. Leaping from her straw bed, all the while dancing gratefully in the air for a moment, Fluttershy went towards a barred window nearby, where she looked outside, to see Celestia's beautiful sun, shining over the ocean, sparkling off of the water's surface.

Discord, who had been blue and transparent during the entire song, couldn't help but cry a long waterfall of tears, as he repeatedly tried in vain to hold Fluttershy close.

Before long, his whole world disappeared around him, and Discord finally snapped himself awake.

Looking over to his counter, Discord picked up a small heart-shaped locket, containing a picture of Fluttershy.

Holding it close to his chest, Discord had a look of determination, "I'm coming for you, Fluttershy," He whispered. "Wherever you are. I'm on my way! I promise! Pinkie promise!"
