Discord looked around the now chaotic Ponyville with glee, laughing in his throne as the Mane Six approached him with the Elements of Harmony. They all each had serious expression on their face and he laughed even more, almost falling out of his throne with how much he was laughing.
"Oh ho oh. Those serious expressions on your faces!" He cackled. "Like you're actually going to beat me again." He smirked at them and snapped his fingers, the Elements suddenly disappearing and reappearing in his golden magic. "Sorry ladies, not happening again. I'm going to hide these trinkets somewhere you won't find them." He tore a hole in the air and tossed the elements in, listening with glee as the mares gasped in horror and closed it back up.
"Give those back you son of bitch!" Rainbow shouted and flew at him, trying to hit him, but failing as he avoided the blow. "Come here Dipcord."
"Hmm, maybe I should go too." Discord said calmly. "Arrivederci!"
He then teleported away, appearing at the entrance of a cavern hidden in the Everfree Forest. Though, to normal ponies, it was magically hidden, but just to be sure, Discord had put a spell on it a thousand years ago so that there was a mile wide barrier that unknowingly teleported ponies that came into contact with it to the other side of the barrier.
With a grin, he flew down the tunnel and into the huge open space within that surprisingly wasn't a big chaotic mess. It was a normal, large meadow full of all sorts of flowers and trees with fruit and a lake with crystal clear water. Also in the center was a castle with beautiful white walls.
This place was home to Discord and he didn't feel like ruining it, but that didn't mean that his magic wasn't at work here. His magic was what was keeping the plants alive and the water clean, making sure that they wouldn't die.
Discord inhaled deeply and sighed as he looked around his home, flying over to the castle with a warm smile. It had been over a thousand years, but he was finally home.
Gleefully, he teleported into the den and looked around the room, curiously finding that the fireplace was lit.
"That's strange..." He muttered. "Why's it lit? Is there someone here?" As if to answer his question, there was a soft mumble and Discord turned to see somepony sleeping on the chez.
Moving closer, he saw that it was a draconequus, but not just any draconequus. The one lying there in front of him was none other than Chiaroscuro.
At first, he was slightly angry and confused at how she got here, but all those thoughts left him as he watched her fennec fox ears twitch adorably. He sighed softly and chuckled as he looked at his old friend, looking over the odd draconequus.
Indeed she was a strange being, even for a draconequus. Her body parts were made up of different animals, but there was a bit of order in them. Each pair of corresponding body parts belonged to the same family of animals.
Her arms both belonged to the feline family, her legs belonged to the canine family, and her wings belonged to the avian family. Her right arm was a clouded leopard paw while her left was that of a tiger, her legs were a maned wolf and an artic fox, and her wings were a dove and a raven. Finally her tail was a fluffy chinchilla's and all of her body parts were shaded down to match her black furred body and bluish gray furred head.
She mumbled softly and slowly opened her crimson eyes, looking up and gasping in surprise as she saw Discord. She covered her breasts with the blanket, which had fallen on the floor, and hid behind her black mane.
"Discord... why... why are you here?" She asked shyly and looked away.
"Does that really matter?" He stated grew curious when she gripped her side. "What's wrong?"
"I got injured during the really bad storm yesterday." Chiaroscuro answered as she looked away. "That's when I found this place. I came in looking for help but found no one here. Instead I found a whole room full of medical supplies and treated my wound. Afterwards I figured that I wasn't fit to move around much, so I decided to stay here a while."
"I see..." Discord nodded. "Well, the reason that you couldn't find anyone is because this is my castle and only I and I guess you can see the entrance."
"Oh... well, um..." She sighed. "I'm still not sure if I can leave yet."
"Good, because your not leaving." Her eyes widened as he said that. "Can't risk you telling anypony that I'm here."
"How can I tell anyone if I'm stuck here anyway?" She questioned. "I already told you that I have to stay."
"I know, but..." Discord suddenly grabbed the blanket and yanked it off, causing his guest to squeak loudly. "Relax Chiaroscuro, I'm not going to do anything bad. I just want to see that wound."
Carefully, he unsheathed his lion claws and cut through the bandages, gently removing them as the female covered her breasts. He swallowed hard as his eyes landed on a nasty gash on her side, looking at the slightly swollen flesh and fur matted down with blood with a grimace.
With a shuddering breath, he reached forward as his paw began to glow and placed it on the wound, almost pulling away as she inhaled sharply. Even though she was here without permission, he didn't want to hurt her, for she was still his friend.
"Wha... what are you...?" She gasped as her wound healed and the pain she felt disappeared. When the light dispersed, she looked down and saw that her wound was completely healed. "You... you healed me..."
"Of course I did." Discord said and smiled slightly. "No need to thank-mmph?!"
He was suddenly cut off when she gripped his head and gently pressed her lips to his, catching him off guard and causing his fur to fluff out. Why was she kissing him?
"Thank you..." She said breathlessly as she pulled away. She then blushed deeply at what she had done and looked away. "Sorry..."
"Why did you...?" He asked as he tried to straighten his fur out. "Chiaroscuro, why'd you kiss me?"
"It's nothing..." She answered immediately. "Just a way of saying thanks. And just call me Oscuro."
"Alright then." He responded as his old feelings for her started to come back and tried to fight them back, but found it very hard. And it didn't help that she was not longer covering her breasts. "Um... you look beautiful in the firelight-er... um... damn..."
"Oh... uh... that's very nice of you to say." She said awkwardly before yawning. "Oh... I'm still very tired."
"Yes, yes... um it is a bit late." Discord agreed. "So why don't we go to bed?"
"Alright." Oscuro suddenly teleported them into a bedroom. Discord's bedroom. "I guess I could go back to bed."
"Um... this is my room." Discord swallowed again as Oscuro lied down on the bed. "But... I could always sleep in another room."
"If it's your room, then you can stay." His eyes widened at her comment. "There's enough room on the bed... besides, those other mattresses aren't as comfortable as this one."
"Oh, I don't know. Those beds are pretty comfy." Discord stated and suddenly found himself in the bed beside Oscuro, blushing madly as she mumbled slightly. Why was she suddenly being so bold when she was so shy a few minutes ago. "But of course, if that's what you want, I'll stay."
"Thank you..." She sleepily said and snuggled into his chest. "Mmm... your so warm..."
Discord couldn't help but smile as he watched Oscuro slowly fall asleep, a very light snoring alerting him that she was no longer awake. Eventually, he sighed as he began to join her, closing his eyes as he drifted off into a blissful slumber.
