We think that went well we thought to ourself.Though we could have handled our interactions Luna better.

Ah yes Luna, the self proclaimed goddess of the night and sovereign of dreams, we would have to see how she handled the fragile minds of her citizens. So we cast our perceptions to the land of dreams in search of our target, five targets to be more exact after all,shouldn't we be the one to introduce ourself to the element bearers rather than have their royal friend turn them against me before I had a chance to say hello. We searched far and wide doing what we did best, observe. We have seen many dreams in our time, dreams of success, dreams of fear, and dreams that were not worth mentioning for one reason or another. But the dreams in Ponyville on the other hand were...different. These were the dreams of a people who experienced world ending dangers every other week, the Princesses themselves had said that the gap between the elements being rediscovered and Twilight's coronation had been only a year long, how Ponyville had managed to not only survive but quickly recover from a forgotten goddess, an ineqine chaos lord and a thaumophage who was equal in strength to all known alicorns was honestly beyond us. If these did not phase their minds then it would take quite the nightmare to scare them.

Nightmares, now there was an interesting idea. Why bother introducing ourself to the Elements when we could toy with them instead? That would surely provide me with enough to talk to them about.

With a new plan in mind we made our way to the first of our targets, that apple farmer who lived at the edge of the town. Applejack was her name we believe Element of Honesty and annoyingly stubborn we wondered what she would be dreaming of.

Apples. She was dreaming of apples. Predictable.

An endless field of trees bearing apples of all varieties stretched across to the horizon ripe for the picking. Applejack was happily galloping from tree to tree bucking them clean of their apples into the barrels below.

Now what would a hard working farm pony hate more than anything else? we pondered. Why pestilence of course we concluded, and with that we manifested in the form or a particularly large vampire fruit bat swarm which was on fire for a bit of added affectand descended upon the fields below.

Not a single tree was spared. every apple was drained and every trunk scorched.

The look of utter horror on Applejack's face as her little slice of heaven was completely destroyed was worth the effort. Too bad she had to wake up so soon after the fun began.

Oh well we thought to ourself. There are others to play with.

Who to chose next? That was a difficult choice, whose mind would we shatter against the rocks of madness next?

Rock...That gave us a truly evil idea. We went to Rarity's dream next where thousands of ponies were in awe of her wearing a dress with an illogically large amount of sequins. She looked so content here on the stage being loved by everypony and finally achieving her life long goals.

We would soon remedy this.

"Rarity?"

She looked around trying to find the source of my voice.

"Why did you leave me? I thought what we had was special,"

She turned in my direction and immediately started backing away from me.

"What are you doing here? I thought you went away after that ruffian Discord was locked away,"

As you probably guessed I had manifested as that boulder Tom that Rarity had carried around after Discord made her think it was a large diamond. Clearly that had been something she had tried hard to forget.

"It gets so lonely in the maze, please come back, the kids miss you", around me a few smaller rocks shaped like pony heads appeared.

"Please come back mommy,"

"We miss you mommy,"

"Why did you abandon us mommy?"

The crowd clearly did not take well to this revelation yelling 'dead beat mom' and 'horse' at her as she avoided rotten tomatoes and small stones and eventually food carts. She ran away as the stage crumbled behind her into the void as the most generic giant phantom ponies ran after her as she let out one continuous scream.

Well we thought to ourself That escalated quickly and on that not we moved on to the next dream.

Fluttershy's dream was different from the others in the sense that there were no ponies to be seen which made sense for such an introverted pony such as herself. In this dream it was only her Discord and a few animals in an open field eating cucumber sandwiches.

It was only her and Discord. Discord had manifested in her dreams.

This is most interesting we thought to ourself. Someome trusts him enough to allow them into their mind. Two nightmares for the price of one we thought with glee.

Now if we remember correctly Fluttershy was particularly afraid of dragons, and with Fluttershy being Discord's only friend it would be safe to assume that he would fear losing her.

Now, how to ruin this little get together? we thought. First we added a dense layer of clouds across the sky blotting out the sun in the sun in the process to add some atmosphere.

"Discord?" Fluttershy asked "Why did you bring those clouds here?"

"Clouds? I have no idea what it is you're talking about my dear Fluttershy," Discord replied as he look up to the new clouds intruding on his sunlight.

Now to make things really ominous we made every last plant and animal shriveled up and died.

"D-Discord is this is your idea of a j-joke?" Fluttershy stuttered clearly being disturbed by the sudden death of her animal friends and the surrounding flora.

"Fluttershy do you honestly think that I would ruin our picnic as a joke? Whatever is doing this is clearly is out of our control,"

And there was our cue.With a resounding roar we manifested a colossal black dragon and began to set the dried field ablaze in emerald flame. Erasing any signs of life in sight.

"Discord,"

"Yes Fluttershy?"

"Could you- that is you want to, please make the big scary dragon go away?"

"Consider it done," Discord replied as he snapped his talons with a spark of chaotic magic. But I was still there. Discord tried again, and again, and again getting more panicked with each attempt.

"Oh it's going take a lot more than that to get rid of us" we boasted as we swatted him aside with one hand and grabbing Fluttershy by the tale with the other.

"Discord!" Fluttershy screamed in pure terror.

Discord grew in size to a size matching my own with pure anger etched into his features.

"Put Fluttershy down," He growled.

We simply grew even larger as we just barley held onto the small yellow mare in our hands.

"And why should we?" we said down to him. "You couldn't save her from Tirek, what makes you think you can save her from me?" Discord began to shrink back down to his normal size as he crumbled under my ridicule.

"Poor little Discord a being who brought the world to its knees yet he can't even save his only friend in the world, such a shame,"

We threw Fluttershy into the air directly over our gaping maw.

"Discord!"

"Fluttershy!"

And with a muffled crunch the dream came abruptly to an end.

I wonder we thought to ourself at what point did we shift from comically mischievous to disturbingly malicious?. We would have to find out later.

Pinkie's dream was one large party in the Manehattan Square where every pony, dragon and what have you were there dancing or drinking punch and gorging on inequine amounts of baked goods. All the while Pinkie was on the stage singing about happiness and friendship and never being afraid of monsters. Sometimes it was somewhat annoying just how cheerful Equus was, most of them wouldn't last a day in the Whispering Isles or The Plane of Screams if we were to send them there.

But underneath that happiness we sensed some kind of...instability in the pink mare, as if she were a balloon stretched to the point of near bursting.

With a mind so fragile this will be easy we thought to ourself as we manifested as just another stallion in the crowd, waiting for our chance to strike. That is until a particular party pony snuck up on me.

"Hey Animad! What are you doing in my dream party?" she asked.

"Oh you know, having a few drinks, catching up with friends and-wait a minute how did you know I was here?"

"Silly Annie, I know everypony and everydragon and every-ancient-elder-being-from-beyond-the-veil-of-knowing,"

"Do not call me Annie, the last person who did that began an intimate relationship with a high velocity boulder," I growled at her in a attempt to intimidate her. But to no avail.

"Oh I was right about you Annie, you're a big meanie pants who only wants to hurt ponies with boulders. You know what happens to ponies like that? They go to the naughty corner,"

With that said a small stool with a dunce cap appeared next to her.

"You cannot be serious, we are powerful beyond knowing, we have ended more worlds than you know of, we have vanquished creatures you would perceive as gods! There is no way you can just 'put us in the naught corner' like some common foal,"

She put me in the naughty corner. Like a common foal.

Animad, ender of worlds, spawn of shadows and bringer of nightmares had been relegated to the naughty corner.

This may have been the most embarrassing moment of our life. Any attempt we made at leaving resulted in Pinkie Pie appearing from nowhere to tell me she was watching and that if we tried to escape again we would be sent to the 'super naughty chair'.

We were stuck there all night, which was a shame. We didn't even get a chance to torment Rainbow Dash or Twilight Sparkle. We had this plan laid out involving a failed Wonderbolts audition and Sombra returning respectively, too bad that would never come to pass.

Around the time that the sun began to rise in the material world Pinkie Pie came back to my little stool of shame.

"So Annie, what have you learnt today?"

"It's wrong to hit ponies with boulders," we grumbled indignantly.

"See? Your learning! Now you better get back to Canterlot I bet Twilight and the other princesses are probably waiting for you,"

We began to fade out of the land of dreams then Pinkie grabbed us and look us dead in the eyes.

"But remember I've got my eyes on you,"

We do not believe that this will be the case for we immediately replaced her eyes with wasp nests.

Because no one calls us Annie and gets away with it.

Author's Note

At no point did Pinkie say anything against THAT!

Anyway I got the second chapter done
