It was only a 5 minute flight from the lake to the castle. Usually Fluttershy expected anyone crossing the Everfree forest being scared to death like she used to be, but no, NightShard was pretty confident. He showed no fear. Once they had arrived Discord greeted them.

"Have you seen Lydia anywhere?" Discord asked his wife.

"Did you lose her again?" Fluttershy said.

"Hey, her magic is strong!" Discord said. He looked at NightShard. "Who is this?"

"That's the fillysitter." Fluttershy said.

"But he's a colt! I'd expect a mare to do that fillysitting stuff." Discord said.

"Well Pinkie convinced me that he is a good fillysitter." Fluttershy said.

"But what if he is dangerous? For all we know he could tie her up and-"

"DISCORD! He is going to fillysit Lydia. Unless of course you'd rather stay here and not leave."

"Ugh..fine. How much money you want?" Discord asked NightShard.

"I'll fillysit for free." NightShard asked.

"Hmm a free fillysitter huh? Sounds suspicious. Just remember, i'll be watching your every move, even when you think i'm gone and your alone, i'll be watching you." Discord said.

"It's okay, people didn't trust me the first time either." NightShard stook out his hoof. "I'm NightShard, glad to meet you." Discord shook his hoof. He had just then noticed his wings.

"Say your a pegasus? How fast are you?" Discord asked.

"I don't know, people called me faster than lightning but I doubt i'm that fast." NightShard said. Discord chuckled.

"I know someone who would like to meet you." Discord said.

"Hey Discord I found Lydia!" Fluttershy said.

"Where?"

"On your back." Discord turned and saw his little filly on his back, smiling. He picked her up.

"This is the one who you will fillysit. Careful though, she's a trickster." Discord said.

"I probably can handle her. I've dealed with earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns, as well as Pinkie's sister." NightShard said.

"Pinkie's sister you say? Well if you could handle her then you could probably handle Lydia." Discord said.

"I won't let you down, sir." NightShard said. Discord nodded his approval. Discord sat Lydia on the ground and left with Fluttershy, expecting nothing bad to happen. "Alright NightShard, you can do this. How hard can it be?" He said to himself. He looked at Lydia, who was playing with one of her toys.

Fluttershy told him that Lydia had already eaten before she left, and that she shouldn't need food until they returned. He looked at Lydia again. It shouldn't be a hard task. Lydia took notice of this. She giggled and poof! She disappeared. NightShard looked around, unsure where she went. He knew that babies' magic and strengths weren't something to fool around with.

He learned that the hard way.

NightShard set off in search of Lydia. He had much trouble because 3/4 of the castle was a maze. He spotted her on the roof. She spotted him as well. She disappeared again. NightShard looked around. He grunted. He had not noticed the filly on his back until he reached the main room. NightShard sat her on the ground.

"How come you are so light?" He wondered out loud. He knew Lydia wouldn't have understood him. Or maybe she did. He looked into her eyes. Lydia giggled and a stuffed bunny appeared on his head. He took it off and sat it next to her. Lydia's magic was pretty strong, though she was an earth pony.

But she has draconequus blood in her. NightShard thought. He looked at the time. 2 hours had already passed. "You did something, didn't you?" He asked. Lydia looked at him with her purple swirly eyes. Discord and Fluttershy would be back soon. He looked around, expecting a mess, but everything was clean.

He sat down. He was tired. She was more than a handfull. Lydia started glowing. NightShard hoped she didnt teleport again. She teleported, but onto his head that time. NightShard laughed a bit.

When Discord and Fluttershy returned they were surprised to see everything not messed up. "See Discord? Told you he was a good sitter." Fluttershy said. Discord grunted. NightShard emerged from another room smiling, and Lydia was on his back, laughing.

"Looks like you had a good time." Fluttershy said.

"That I did. Lydia has a great sense of humor." NightShard said.

"Well she is my daughter, of course she should have one." Discord said.

"So anyway, i've gotta head back to Pinkie, see you tomorrow?" NightShard said. Fluttershy nodded.

"Until tomorrow." And NightShard flew off.
