“Honestly did Rarity have to throw me into that wall so hard? It’s a nightmare living around these insatiable ponies let me tell you” Discord whined as he stretched and twisted his back. “ My chiropractor is going to have my hide when he sees the state I’m in” Maud simply shrugged and walked on. “ I mean this flexible limber body takes time to maintain y’know?” Discord motioned for Maud to stop and looked around. “ Now where to go next,hmm so many choices so many ponies to infuriate and so little time”
“Ooh I know how about a little soiree to sweet apple acres, where the apples be the best in good ol’e Equestria” Discord said in a terrible apple family accent.
“Very well” Maud nodded. From what she remembered Applejack was a very welcoming pony if not a bit too friendly at some times. A loud rumbling noise suddenly burst from where Discord had been standing. Maud sharply turned around to view Discord sitting on a Harley Davidson. A large,chrome Harley Davidson with massive handlebars. Not that Maud had any clue what it was.The engine rumbled and thrummed with power while the bikes frame remained steady despite the power coursing through it. Maud took one look and automatically knew that she was going nowhere near it. Discord himself was wearing a biker jacket and a pair sunglasses complete with an evil grin that would make a super villain jealous.
“Care to take a seat?” Discord motioned behind him to the empty patch large enough for one pony.
“No” Maud replied and starting walking away to the dirt path that led to sweet apple acres.
“Spoilsport” Discord mumbled as he clicked his talons and the Harley Davidson disappeared. The sun was now beginning to show signs of setting as discord floated himself to Maud and began walking with her.
Neither talked for a while. A break that Maud finally deserved. As she walked she took in the scenery. A stream gurgled over a brook washing over stones and breaking apart the rocks into sediment. A welcome sight that she was used to in this unfamiliar land. A couple of birds sat on a tree singing a perfect harmonious song together, Bugs and insects of all kinds flitted through the undergrowth and made their own noises. Maud preferred it this way nice and calm. True the scenery held nothing to the beauty of her rock farm but this was a nice change from the fast pace of the town.
“Ooh look Maud a wittle doggy” Discord suddenly exclaimed causing Maud to again turn sharply to find the disturbance. This path headed close to the Everfree forest and looks like something had come to give her a welcome party. A timberwolf slowly emerged from the bushes. It’s limbs creaking in the gentle breeze as it slowly stalked towards them. The wolf’s bark was deafening as it tried to make sense of Discord. Then it’s whole body flexed showing of it’s impressive size for a timber wolf,It stood a full three feet above Maud and probably was twice as heavy as her despite being hollow.Drool hung limply from it’s jaw set full with rows of teeth. Scars crisscrossed it’s body showing it had probably been in a couple of fights. Finally the dark green eyes held them with a predatory gaze sizing them up to see if they were a potential meal. Odd that it was alone as timber wolves generally travel in packs. Maud had limited knowledge on creatures such as this but what she knew would have to do. She also knew it’s bite was extremely poisonous and she didn’t feel like a trip to the hospital. Judging from it’s size it probably was an alpha.
“ I would hardly call that a little dog Discord” Maud shifted her weight and eyed the wolf cautiously. The wolf seemed to be wary of Discord as he still towered a good four feet over it.
Discord looked away from the wolf and gazed in her direction. “ Feel like playing a game” He said looking at her with a truly devilish grin.
“What do yo…” Maud was cut of as Discord picked her up and threw her at the wolf. The wolf licked his chops and opened his mouth waiting for an easy meal. Maud resisted screaming and simply closed her eyes awaiting death. It did not come as Discord had looped some string around her midriff and pulled her back.
“ Ohh I was sure I had you there,damn your good at this no emotion game” Discord complained in a frustrated voice, seemingly paying no mind that he had thrown her at a timber wolf. “ Oh well better luck next time” He said.
“ What type of game was that” Maud shouted allowing anger to creep into her voice.
“That wasn't the game my dear that was just me warming up my arm muscles” Discord replied smugly reviling in the fact she had finally shown emotion.”This is the game, it’s called how long can you hold onto a rabid timberwolf without getting thrown off, here i’ll go first”
Discord suddenly teleported onto the timberwolf’s back. The timberwolf grunted and tried to shake him of. As Discord hung on a cowboy hat appearing on his head as he rode the great wolf. Howling the wolf took of along the path trying to dislodge his attacker. As they disappeared down the track Maud facehooved but allowed herself a little smile. She may not want to admit it but Discord certainly was an interesting character to have around.
Sergeant Summer Storm and Private Strum Marley two large pegasi and the only two guards of Ponyville were enjoying a pleasant stroll down the path from sweet apple acres. They had just finished their rounds and were enjoying an apple they always received when they visited sweet apple acres. “ Ya hear that sarge?” Marley said confusion evident on his face as he listened.
“ Yeah I hear it” Replied Storm straining his ears to catch the sound.
“Sounds like a stampede or somthin” Marley suggested
“ Could be… Wait what the” Storm and Marley both jumped back as the largest timber wolf they had ever seen came thundering down past them with what looked like a large brown bat clinging to it’s back. The two howled and Yee Hawed as they made their way down the slope and onward to sweet apple acres.
“ Should I ask Sarge” Marley said dumbstruck.
“ Nope we are off duty best to just walk away and forget what we just saw”
“ Yep” Both stallions walked away without saying another word.
Applejack was up in her room sorting out some bills when a loud thumping noise sounded from outside. “ What in Tarnation!?” She exclaimed as she rushed for her window. She saw what seemed to be the largest timber wolf she had ever seen outside howling and shaking as it tried to throw of… Discord.
The wolf and Discord finally headed for the barn. Applejack just stood there taking it all in. “ Mac you put somthin in ma drink?” She said unsure if what she had just seen was a mirage.
“Nnnope” came the reply. Applejack walked down the stairs to find Mac staring out the door look of shock pressed onto his normally impassive face. He must have seen the insane duo as well.
“ Maybe we should go check the barn”
“Eeyep”
