Chapter 1 - What is so Interesting about your Coltfriend?
"What's so special about this.... Oh, how do I put it... this, stallion of your's Solitaire?" Discord floated in the air staring intently, yet curiously into the young purple mares slitted blue eyes and frowned with his arms crossed. It took a few seconds for her to react and stared at him with a scowl across her face but soon turned around and etched her hoofprint into the ever shifting ground.
"Whats so special about about Minty Fix? Now, now my discorded friend, what has sparked this crazy curiosity of yours?" She replied contently and yet in a calm like manner as she watched her hoofprint quickly disappear from its place, causing her just jump slightly "I know you have been watching him for a few days now,"
Discord shifted in his place and pulled a sort of disgusted look from the tea he was drinking earlier before pouring the rest of it on a tree which had seemingly enough turned to chocolate. "Me? Watching that pony? Haha, you must be mistaken why would I, the Chaos Creature of magic, have an interest in him?" He chuckled uncomfortably, not liking his questions being answered with another question, it made him quite flustered with anger. With a quick snap of his claws he picked up the purple pony by her tail and hung her upside down in front of him. Seeing her un-amused face staring right back at him, knowing full well she did not like ponies or even him touching her tail, since it made her frantic.
Solitaire growled with anger and swung herself forward back and forth until she felt her hoof touch him and swatted Discord's nose, making him drop her onto the ground with a whim-perish yelp. "Just tell me you chaotic buffoon before I turn you into jelly and throw you down a well" She snapped, knowing full well the dark spirit inside her was growing restless as she lay on her back. Her will was able to hold it off for a while as she continued with herself. "Well?"
He winced, holding his nose and flicked his tail, slightly surprised by the mares new tone of voice "Sorry for awakening your viciousness. Princess." Discord snapped back "You have changed ever since your disappearance from this land"
"You mean banishment. I'm not a princess here anymore. I'm exiled remember! You knew I never wanted to leave Chaotic Wonderland in the first place" she snarled, her lips uncurling at the hiss in her tone of voice "And I never asked for what had to be done to me, but you were still confined to the stone then, only your spirit could roam free in this world."
Solitaire got up from her back and soon began pacing back and forth, frantically thinking hard of ways to stop the darkness inside her growing, since it was causing her pain.
Discord watched her frantic pacing back and forth, wondering what was causing her to even raise her tone at him. She had never done this before, not even when she was loved by many in the land.
"Solice, Calm yourself. Your sending me dizzy by that pacing your doing right now. What has got you so frantic anyway and why did you never tell me about your banishment? You know I am your best friend," Discord picked her up with his paw looking into her eyes, seeing the pain well up inside them. "You sound like you have the dark spirit of this land inside you,"
Solitaire stared at him, before slowly nodding, her eyes soon welling up with tears. He stared right back at her in shock, knowing what the nod had meant and growled "That Mad Hatter will pay for what he has done to you. Solice."
Hearing her nickname made her smile weakly and wiped the tear from her eyes with her silk green scarf and calmed herself. "I never really got to tell you about that dark secret, Father would have my throat back then, he probably still does right now since I'm back in Wonderland again, hehe...." she hiccuped holding her mouth with her hoof.
Discord smiled seeing the small smile she had somehow managed to pull out of the dark situation she was in and hugged her. "There's the Solice I know, always smiling and always so crazy. Why wouldn't anyone love this silly little mare?" He chuckled and lay down, seeing she had curled up in his lap and fallen sound asleep. "I'll make sure you get your home back somehow, but first, lets get you to bed"
Author's Note
Its been a while since I made a new story and I am sorry for not updating The Nonary Game it has become quite difficult to continue it but I shall try my best to update it. I thought I should share with you my backstory for Solitaire.
For Madness, Comes a Price
It had been a few hours since she had fallen asleep. Solitaire had woken up in her home with Minty right beside her, asleep in a chair he had managed to put next to her bed. She smiled softly and sat herself up carefully, not wanting to wake up the sleeping stallion and stroked his mane carefully looking at him with a loving gaze.
" So the sleeping beauty has decided to wake up finally." She heard a voice say with a wicked laugh "There has been quite an event while you had slept."
"What do you want from me now demon, you have already caused me enough pain as it is." she snarled knowing fully well who was speaking to her.
"Oh, I thought you already know what I want child. it had replied with such an eager tone as if it was pleased with her anger."
"Well you know fully well you will never get what you want. Your stuck with me." She casted her mind away from her raging thoughts that boiled deep inside her, trying to stand her ground.
The voice hesitated inside as if it was thinking carefully "Well don't you know what has happened since you were asleep, princess in exile?"
"I do not want to hear your tales, dark one, keep your mouth shut I do not want to hear your vile words or dark tales anymore"
"You will keep you smart remarks to yourself brat! You know what I can do to you and your loved ones if I choose to take over you again" The voice snarled. "For now I will stay quiet but you will learn soon enough of the events"
Solitaire clawed the bed with her hooves scowling angrily, trying to calm herself from the demons talk with her, lost in her own thoughts about it before feeling a gentle touch on her nose and snapping back into reality, seeing Minty, touching his nose with hers and holding her forehooves.
"Everything okay my sweet violet mare?" he replied in a sweet tone that always made her smile. "You had me worried these past days when you didn't wake up"
Solitaire looked at him slightly confused and then smiled, remembering that she had been in Wonderland for a few hours and had fallen asleep nearly forgetting about the time differences in their worlds. She lay back and giggled softly "I am as crazy as a mad hatter to his tea, my Mintyness"
Minty growled playfully and lay on top of her, resting his muzzle in her mane "Your my crazy mare~ Glad to see your back to your normal self again"
She returned his playful growl with a soft lick on his ear, before cuddling him lovingly "Mmm, I know I am...." She sighed happily, knowing she was safe in his arms.
It must have felt like minutes when Discord had walked into them cuddling on the bed, making Minty and Solitaire jump. Minty scrabbling back onto the chair and Solitaire sitting up on the bed, both of their cheeks slightly red with embarrassment each trying to hide their faces from the chaotic creature.
"Oooh.. so that's whats so special about him then?" Discord gave her a cheeky grin as she shifted in her place.
"I don't know what you mean, Discord" she replied quickly, looking away at a painting on the wall hearing the chaotic creature chuckle. Her hooves gently dug into the mattress of the bed again.
"Oh Solice, you know you couldn't keep things like this away from me, not even when you were." he stopped himself nearly forgetting that Minty did not know where or how she was got to Equestria from Wonderland. "Anyway while you were asleep someone decided to take advantage of your sleeping state" he swallowed hard, feeling uneasy.
Minty's gaze fixed at Discord for a second wondering what had made him so uneasy to talk about Solitaire's past with him soon finding himself tinkering with his metallic wing's checking them over if he had found any screws loose. Solitaire's interest with them had only grew curiouser than usual as she tapped one of the metal feathers with her hoof, her head was laying on the bed as she carefully looked at the detail and the hard work he had put into them. She longed to help Minty with his work but he was either too busy tinkering with his little robotics or out somewhere where she didn't know, which often made her worry.
Her mind soon snapped back into reality and turned to face the draconequus before placing her head in her hooves in a more comfortable yet hiding position, dreading on hearing what the demon's actions had caused what trouble . She swallowed hard trying to not sound as disturbed as she felt inside causing a lump to form inside her throat "She decided to make a move again... what did she do this time?" she replied, tiredly but in an uneasy voice.
"Well apart from running rampant at my dear friend Fluttershy she ripped and tore up your clothes. Minty had managed to salvage the silken green scarf and fixed it together but we are going to have to get you some new clothes." Discord replied, his claws and paws fixed together as he watched the purple mare try to hide herself and her feelings away from the world, knowing fully well she had too much pain spent enough as it is but still continued to stab at her helpless self.
Solitaire flung herself back into her bed and pulled the covers over her head, retreating into the darkness with her eyes swelling up with tears that soon dripped down her silky furred cheeks beginning to cry "I'm a monster..." she whispered, clawing at the covers she held so closely to her body.
Minty was already tugging at the covers to reveal his favourite mare underneath and pulling her close to his chest. "Your no monster Solitaire, you know you have no control over Cresent, and Fluttershy understands this after all we are your friends,"
"Someones more than a friend here," Discord replied in a slightly happier tone trying to brighten up the situation, his tail flickering to and fro, contently watching how Minty was trying his best to comfort his friend in his arms.
She shifted in her place and pulled away from Minty, giving him a sorry look before getting onto all fours and walking towards the door "I'm going for a walk..." she replied softly picking her black cape with her magic and putting it over her, pulling up the hood to cover her face "And don't try to follow me, I'll be fine, I just need some time to myself. Make yourselves at home while your here."
It was the last thing she had said before slamming the door of her teapot house and sprinted for the dark and creepy Everfree forest, tears flowing down her cheeks but her fangs bared.
For Madness, Comes a Price
Darkness had soon fell over the sunny blue sky, the stars gently poked out from behind the clouds and the sounds of howling tinderwolves had filled the forest that Solitaire was running through, the thumps of her hooves pounding on the ground had disturbed some of the creatures that lived there. Tears was streaming down her cheeks with the wind blowing against her ears causing its slight howling, each thump of her hooves left the mark of its tips dug into the rich soil. Though, through the mixed feelings in her heart, her mind was filled with rage, of which she could not control or convey in the ways she would have liked. It was already causing the pain of the restless demon to pierce its influence onto her body, her purple coat slowly turning grey, her own will was broken through by its sheer force but her determination of her mind was not going to let it take over her body once more.
Her small pants of her breath and her sniffled crying was slowly becoming quiet as she had found herself stopping in front of the old princesses broken down and cracked grey castle. Its walls had ivy and other sorts of plants growing and twining themselves against the grey stones that helped it to stand tall, Solitaire knew the castle had seen better days.
Taking a deep breath as she closed her eyes and focused on her power to her horn as it glowed a darkened blue shine of which, was the very same color of her eyes. Soon her anger had got the better of her making her swing her head forward and shouting into the clearing of the dimly lit forest.
"So you want to talk demon! Let's talk!" she growled, casting the blackness sphere from her horn and onto the ground, the faint glowing green chains that bounded the demon to the the heart of the purple mare that stood in front of it. The very sound of the chains made Solitaires hooves dig into the ground. Oh how she hated it when she had to talk to the demon that had ruined her life that held her so strong, how she was welcomed from all the lands of the Wonder she had once called her home.
The blackish grey demon laughed, spreading its tainted blue wings rattling the chains that held her. Its dark glowing eyes peered at the unicorn that had casted her out of her prison into the fresh damp air of the forest, and the soft wet grassy ground to pillow her fall, the blackness of her ghostly like form drifted into the air lick smokey grey flames. It did not crackle like a fire though it was too weakened to show its real form making her look like a hideous darkened spirit of the underworld.
Solitaire knew what she was doing was dangerous but she could easily seal away its powers from harming her granting she too sealed one of her own in return of its power which she didn't want to resort to.
"Ahhh it feels so good to be out again..." The greyish cloud looked at the purple figure that stood before her and smiled with a sort of dreamish gaze, before shaking its head, rattling the chains that bounded her "Oh.. these things... what a sensible young mare,"
It appeared to be unhappy about it's confines of the green metallic, yet ghostly chains that binded it so she wouldn't escape. Taking small deep breaths the gastly grey cloud lowered itself to the ground and reshaped itself into an alicorn, stand on all fours. The blue-ish tinted grey wings still released its smoke as they stood spread in front of Solitaire who was trying to stop herself from shaking and cowering at the demons appearance, though her legs nearly gave way to the spell she cast. With much of her strength spent she had decided to sit down to concile her weakness away from the demon, though it didn't matter much to it. She was already weak enough for the monster to take over her when she was most vulnerable, it caused her great dismay when the silence was soon broken with the demon hissing softly within its tone, calling her name.
"What is it demon? I was enjoying the peace of the silence, until you broke it" She spat, refusing to look at the monster and continued to stare at the blades of grass she was sat near, fascinated at the different patterns that never looked the same as the blades of grass at home. Home. What was she thinking? She had no home now, though the teapot house she confined herself to within this world was not much of a home to her.
A certain snap of jaws clamped together as the demon began to speak, keeping a keen eye on the pony before her studying her movements and trying to peer into the pony's mind. "Your the one to ask the questions Oh, Exiled One"
The words rang through Solitaire's head as her ears flickered to the back of her head causing the hood to fall and the light to shine on her face. She stifled herself from cursing at the clouded alicorn and lifted her head. Her mind raced with lots of questions but she never knew the answers to them, let alone dared to ask the demon she was forced to share her body with. Returning her gaze to the blades of grass she had noticed she was pulling them from the ground with her forehoof.
"You took over my body again while I was sleeping and caused quite some damage to my friends..." She spoke calmly though she was boiling with rage, continuing her picking at the grass and trying to fix them together in a puzzle which she had seemed to often do when lost in thought.
"So what if I did? Its not like you need them, you much of a monster yourself, you know. It's like-"
"Do not compare me to you and say that we are alike!" Solitaire spat, her lips curling to show her long white fangs "I am nothing like you! Your the one who caused me to be in this mess in the first place... If only you had stayed in the confines of your prison! All of this would have never happened in the first place! I never wished to be confined in such a strange world with a monster to share my body, in which it- No, you can still cause harm to the ponies around me! And yet here we are."
She stood up shakily, brushing off the cold chill that had suddenly dawned upon her, her mind filled with rage though she had been accustomed to it for at least five years. It had been a part of a new thing when her father had told her the truth about the attacks in Wonderland and then casted her to Equestria when she had failed to run away from him and his few commanders of his army. Even her father, the only one she could call family disowned her. She had no family now, unless she could count Minty as her family now. Could she? Now there's a thought that had never crossed her mind before. The rattling of chains behind her had freed her from her thoughts and her eyes soon trailed to look at the demon once more.
"Tut tut, that's no way to speak to an elder, let alone how you used to speak. Now where has that cheery personality gone to?" The Demon mocked teasingly, trying to earn another reaction from her, only to see that the purple mares tail had swished from under the cape she was wearing as if she was hiding her own body from the world.
"Do, not mock me Demon." The words trailed out of Solitaire's mouth before she even thought about them, her eyes fixed to the alicorns dark blue eyes as she stood her ground. Her personality that she bore with such pride had dissipated into nothing but thin air. The only time she used what was once her joy and her fun was now turned into a mask to protect herself from ponies and creatures alike finding about who she really was and the dark secrets she was hiding. There was little happiness she could draw out of her life now, if it wasn't for that she would have let her father kill her back then.
For a short while the was a foreboding silence around the two figures that stood within the courtyard of the broken castle. They stared with not an expression on their faces, their eyes fixated on one another before the demon broke the silence that held them in their place.
"Your often lost in your own thoughts now. Not a lot of fun now are you, She-who-once-was-the-new-Mad-Hatter" The grey alicorn floated in the air now staring at the night sky, bored with the stare down. It appeared that the bottom half of it's body had disappeared from sight apart from the small grey wave that resided below it.
"Such a title could have never been accomplished by the hooves of a..." She dared not to say it pausing for a second and then continued "Good Riddiance I say." Solitaire replied mourning the loss of her most treasured memory when she had found out her cutie mark. The look on her mothers face cause her much joy only to have it taken from her within an instant as another one of her 'attacks' happened in front of the entire city of Cardell. Her birthplace. It was the start of her downfall when she had found her mother laying in front of her, unmoving and soaked in blood when she had awoken from the attack. The last thing she remembered was looking down at her own bloodied hooves and crying out in a terrified painful cry.
She spent the rest of the months nights of nightmares seeing the mangled twisted corpse of her mother in front of her shouting in a twisted demonic voice saying "It's your fault! All your fault! You monster! You did this to me!"
Solitaire shuddered at the thought and began to breathe deeply, she always seemed to remember that dream so well as if it etched it within her memory that she was never able to forget.
"Such a painful memory you have to deal with.. It is a shame about Ismirelda Alicen" The creature spoke to her as if she had read her mind, but it had only studied the reactions she had produced in front of the demons presence.
That was the breaking point of Solitaire she screamed into the air, tears running down her cheeks, sickened with rage and guilt "ENOUGH!" with that she had used the last of her strength to confine the demon back in her body and stripped of it's voice temporarily. Her body collapsing into the ground as she screamed and writhed from the pain that it had caused her.
The shrieks and screams echoed through the forest as it lasted for several hours, causing the animals in the forest to scatter and shout in fright. Small hardened pants followed afterward coming from the pony that had cause the noise in the first place. Steadily she rose up and onto her hooves, covered in cuts and soft faint bruises she had managed to harm upon her forehooves and two long scratches down the right side of her body down to her flank due to the thorn bushes where she had collapsed against. Her body still unsteady as the cuts ached with a pinching sensation, trickled with the red liquid down onto the grass. She wasn't bleeding heavily or majorly although they looked like she took a nasty fall, but she slowly made her way back to Ponyville with her cape over her face that was covered in tear stains down to her chin.

Chapter 4 - Home is with her love.
When Solitaire made it back she was still surprised that Minty and Discord was sat in the living room talking worriedly among-st themselves. She had tried to remain quiet whilst entering the house but it had only caught the attention of those she didn't want to see. Especially in the state she was in. Minty quickly rose out of the sofa he was sitting on and started to ask questions and fussing over her. She took no notice of the worry for she was far lost in her own thoughts and mumbled quietly "I'm going for a shower." And then walked up the stairs leaving the worried minty green stallion fixed in his place and his voice trailed off. She hated doing that to her beloved Minty, but she didn't want to be fussed over just because she had been out for a few hours and had injuries on her. It reminded her of her Mother when she was a filly which sickened her, causing the aftertaste of bile in her mouth.
She turned on the shower and slid the cape off her messed up purple fur and grey and blue tinted mane as she stared somberly into a mirror staring at the saddening sorry mess that lay before her that she called her own reflection. "Such a pitiful thing.." she grunted, smashing her hooves against the mirror as a crack and a shatter of glass filled the room with its noise. She flinched from it, but otherwise her expression did not change from what it once and still was, before heading into the shower.
It had been over an hour since she had came downstairs from having her shower. Discord had rose from the sofa and hugged Solitaire before departing back to his home leaving Minty and her in the quietness of the room. Minty had too rose from the sofa but soon sat back down, refraining himself from asking questions, knowing she was in no mood to speak much.
Again it had pained Solitaire to see what she had done to him. Out of all the creatures she cared about, it had to be the one she loved the most. Tears started to form in her eyes as she quickly turned towards the kitchen and made them one of her finest teas she had made herself. Though with Minty asking her to start a tea shop she always said she would think about it and never gave him an answer. She never really thought over it much but she continued to experiment with new flavors and used Discord or Minty to taste test them for her. It was quite a hobby she enjoyed to do in her spare time, though she rather missed her silly, yet strange hobby of bathing in a giant cup of tea in Wonderland.
She chuckled at the thought as she returned to the living room and placed the tray of tea and biscuits down on the table in front of Minty. She decided that she was hungry and wanted biscuits with her tea, making sure there was enough for her and Minty. She smile a little at the concerned stallion and sat on the sofa, snuggling herself up to him. She cherished the feeling of warmth Minty was producing. It always seemed to be one of her small amount of comforts, but she had her forehooves lifted, flicking her ears at the sound of Minty mumbling and fussing over such cuts and bruises that was noticeable on her upon close inspection. She gave up trying to tell him she was fine and it wasn't much of a big deal. So she closed her eyes and rested her head on his chest, it wasn't long before a smile had crept upon her face. It may have been a pain for him fussing over the injuries she had but she was all the more glad he was there for her, no matter what happened.
She awoke shortly finding herself sat on top of Minty's lap, her head resting over his shoulder. His breathing was calm and his heartbeat thrummed softly, cursing herself for falling asleep Solitaire casted her gaze towards the cold cup of tea she had not touched.
What a waste of tea She thought to herself before feeling Minty shuffle underneath her causing her to look at him in a sleepy-like daze.
Minty had put on a playful pout as he mumbled softly "Aww... you looked so peaceful sleeping like that. I hoped you would have stayed like that for another five minutes.."
"How long have I been asleep...?" she yawned, covering her mouth and stretched herself, still keeping herself on Minty's lap.
"About thirty minutes. Not too long though.. well not for my liking" he chuckled, wrapping his forelegs around her as she did so to around his neck loosely so she wasn't strangling him.
"Is that all? I thought I was asleep for a lot longer..." she trailed off into another yawn.
"If you were Sweetie I would have taken pictures of that cute adorable face of yours" he replied smugly.
Before she could say anything more, he rubbed his muzzle with her and rested his head against hers with his eyes closed, smiling to himself as if he was cherishing the moment between then. She too, cherished the moment before feeling her cuts ache. They had healed but it seemed they cracked in the midst of her sleep but no blood was on her fur.
Minty must of cleaned them. Such a worrywort She chuckled rolling her cat like eyes playfully.
Minty had caught her playful eye roll and pinned her against the sofa, being careful not to hurt her "Is that an eye roll I see?" He hummed with a mischievous grin on his lips, his tongue slowly licking his teeth as he stared down at the purple mare lovingly.
She couldn't help it but blush a slight pink against her cheeks as, she too smiled cheekily.
She loved that smile, it always made her smile no matter how grim and horrible the situations were. She always complained to him about him making her smile when she as in the darkest of moods, but he knew she didn't mean it. Instead she stared up at him, feeling happy that he was with her. She would never want anything else in the world as long as she had him with her.
She soon felt his warm lips press against the side of her neck, furthering her blush as her blood rushed to her cheeks and her body hot with a tingling sensation spreading around her. "Mmh... I wish you didn't use my weak spots to your advantage" she murred quietly into his ear, hearing his playful growl.
"How else would I have my fun with you?" He replied contently, continuing to kiss up and down her neck at a steady, calm pace as he caught the scent of her freshly washed mane, to him she smelled irresistible, finding it hard to keep his hooves to himself in front of their friends whenever and where ever they were. But it was different when they were alone for he knew exactly what he was doing.
It was tempting enough to have his way with her right then and there, but he also wanted to savor the moment he was having with her, listening to her breathing that was deepening from each touch of his lips against her neck.
Solitaires body tingled with pleasure and excitement as her eyes closed, listening to a song that popped into her head. It was her favourite song out of all things causing her to gasp out then next time Minty had kissed her neck, just below her cheek bone with such care. "S-Snow..."
Minty got himself up stopping his little wanderings of his lips and his hoof on her chest understanding what she had meant by the word. He saw her eyes open slowly though her gaze towards him was of slight irritation and mostly dreamy. Turning himself around he found the CD player next to the T.V. and grabbed the disc with that song, gently placing the disc into the disc slot on the CD player. Solitaire had already sat herself up watching him fondly as he fiddled with the buttons on the machine, her hooves by her side as she heard the soft rhythm of Snow Patrol's first part of The Lightning Strike, contently humming herself along with it, her eyes closed yet not noticing Minty had gently grasped her shoulders as her whispered softly in her ear "Now where was I~"
Each word made her heart pound harder as she felt a flutter of different feelings surge up inside her as Minty had pushed her back onto the sofa with such care, climbing back on top of her and pinned her forehooves to the soft fabric with his own. His body was close to hers now as she felt her body shiver slightly from each delicate yet well placed touch. He knew exactly where to tease her as he gently bite her neck, pulling slightly as he suckled. Her quiet groans pleased him, his heart pounded with hers as if in a harmony of their own for the song had managed to stir her from her usual mood and into a mood he had seemed fit for the situation. Letting go of her neck her moved onto another spot and did the same, only her made slow grinding movements against her body, ruffling the fur between them. He could tell her body needed him badly but her mind would playfully ruse his trying to convince him that she was refusing to accept the feeling of pleasure and the teasing he caused her. That had only aroused him, she had shown she was vulnerable underneath his touch but she had made small movements playfully showing she was fighting back.
"N-no...." she gasped softly, panting between the hitched breaths of her breathing as her head tilted out the right side, towards the TV.
"No?" She heard Minty chuckle softly as he continued to kiss and nibble at her exposed neck, feeling him grind against her body slightly harder as she gasped again but in slight pleasure "Oh.. my dear your far from having the authority to tell me no.. when your body... mmh... says yes~" a murr gently erupted from his mouth as he to gasped in pleasure.
She gave a gentle tap against the side of the sofa with her left back leg, feeling him pry her legs open in such a careful manner with his own and repeated the same word she had said earlier to him wich only caused her to feel more teased with his grinding, but she bared with it, enjoying herself as she toyed and denied with her own feelings as well as Minty's. For she had made it clear to him that she needed and wanted him.
He had also denied her from getting what she wanted even though she was resisting to him, but he continued to speak in a seductive tone grinding against her with his body, feeling the slight throbbing of his slight erected shaft against her warm, wet marehood "Oh.. but you want me~ Yesss.... You cannot resist me for long my dear.." he grunted for he knew exactly how to tease her, feeling her legs tense around his. The song playing in the background which had made his mood more settling to his teasing, but it waned on him that he was struggling to not take her delicate yet vulnerable body beneath him, He didn't want to... not unless she had gave him a signal with her body, mind or voice that he seemed fit to take her. He knew it wouldn't be long until that happened.
Solitaire had turned her head from side to side a few times as she felt him persist with his teasing although she had gently grinded and pushed herself down on his shaft with her body, aching with sexual frustration as she gave up on tying to resist him but still muttered the word, No, every now and again. It was him that was teasing her more than before, building her frustration up more and more to the point where she though she could take it no more but it had only continued her denial of what she wanted so badly as she lay at his mercy, letting out soft grunting moans escape from her lips, her eyes closed as she pleaded him to take her in her mind.
Then with a soft gentle touch of his shaft hard from the teasing he had done, he positioned himself against his beloved mare who shifted uncomfortably from her teased up, tensing body he pushed himself inside her with a soft grunt, seeing the blissful expression overcome her face as she bit her lip. She was still tight around him as he pushed himself further, slowly pulling himself nearly out of her before pushing himself back in, but deeper. He felt the warmth of her surrounding his shaft as he heard the pleasuring moans of her voice touch his ears. Her voice was so soft yet so enticing, alluring even. Though he refrained himself from slamming into her delicate body so savagely even though his own body ached with pleasure and wanting.
"M-minty.... Ahhh" she groaned out as her back arched up towards his body pushing into his gently thrusts "P-please..."
Though he did his best to ignore her pleas with him so she could get used to having him inside of her her grunted with a smile upon his face, pulling himself except the tip out of her again before slamming himself inside her once.. then twice and then another. She had moaned out his name feeling him take her again and again with his steady thrusts following each slam, her legs quaking from the pleasure still building upside of her. Her hair sprawled out upon the sofa as they mated with such intimacy and such a loving, strong bond they only shared when together.
His thrusting began to increase in strength but in tender loving care being careful not to hurt her, his body straining from him to release himself, not until he wanted her to break first in their intimacy which he felt she was close to her own release, it made him smile to see her in such pleasure, not by any pony, but by him, he was the one who created this pleasure with her. Her legs tensed against him as she shuddered, clawing at the sofas fabric with her hooves and tilting her head up as she moaned loudly. She had broken in front of him right then and there as she felt a warm gushing feeling of her semen against the feeling of him inside her. She opened her eyes and gazed at him panting hard as Minty gave a few final pounds arching his back and gasped as he too had found his release before collapsing onto her body with exhaustion humming contently as her nestled his face in her neck mumbling "I love you my sweet.. Sexy purple mare~"
She smiled, exhausted from their eventful night and purred into his ear "And.. I love you my handsome, most irresistible stallion in shining armor," She had kissed his ear and gave it a soft loving lick before she groaned at Minty pulling out of her, feeling their warm liquid trickle out causing her to shudder.
They quickly cleaned themselves up still exhausted from the event and retreated to her bedroom, clambering into the soft silken layers of the quilt and the comfy memory foam mattress and snuggled up against one another drifting into a pleasant sleep.
For Madness, Comes a Price
Chapter 5- The hunt for new clothes.
The next day had came so slowly for the young couple, awakening from their pleasant slumber. Long as their eventful night was, Solitaire was the first up from her slumber seeing Minty holding her by the waist and mumbling softly in his sleep, cuddling her tightly. When she had tried to get up out of bed Minty held onto her tighter "N-nu... Stay in bed with meh" he whimpered in a half dazed sleep.
She smiled and rubbed his head softly, ruffling up his short black and silver mane, noticing his metallic steam-punk wings were on the floor. From a distance they looked as if they were bent on one of the wings and frowned. "Must have took a midnight crash." She sighed and slipped out of Minty's grip, replacing her spot with a stitch plushie. Once she had thought Minty was fine with the plushie she carefully and silently picked up the wings with her magic and went downstairs, into her garage.
There was many various and confusing rooms in her little teapot house, it looked like it held about two stories but in fact the house was about as many stories as Solitaire could think of. It had often confused her guests but the only creature who was not confused about the house was Discord. He rather liked it, reminding him of the chaos he had created here in Ponyville, Solitaire had longed to see why his little chaos was so bad to imprison him in stone not once but twice. She was angry about it but Solitaire refused to show any signs of it, here in Equestria, the two princesses didn't know they were storing a fifth princess in their realm though not all princesses had to be an alicorn to rule a land. They saw alicorns as the most powerful creatures before the Earth ponies, Pegasi or Unicorns. Solitaire in that matter did not care, Only seeing them as a sign of a gift to have all of the attributes of each race of pony. Her mind wavered off for a second as she reached the door of the garage and opened it slowly. She then made her way inside placing the wings on the work bench and turned on the light, she didn't have much skill in mechanics but she had one of the most creative minds when it came to make designs. Her reason for trying to fix his wings is because she wanted to thank him for everything that he had done for her and planned to make this special, her own hooves didn't have to make much of a difference to the earth ponies work but in all respect she looked up to Minty, he had influenced her life and changed it for the better and it was all because of the metallic wings she held in front of her.
Quickly running out of the garage she had rummaged around to find her phone and her green coat, but she realized her clothes had been ripped from the attack she had. "Curses and Cheese!" She hisses and grabbed her cloak which had been washed and headed out towards Rarity's, she had made one of her favorite tea flavors and brought it with her as a thank you gift and some bits to pay for the clothes.
When she had reached the boutique she knocked on the door with three loud taps of her hoof and waited until Rarity had opened the door.
"Why darling, welcome to my boutique. What has made you want to come her at this hour" she smiled softly, letting Solitaire inside.
Solitaire smiled weakly and looked at Rarity before sitting on the boutique couch "I'm sorry to bother your busy scheduled Rarity but I suffered one of my attacks again just a few days ago only this time my clothes had been torn to pieces. My silken scarf managed to be salvaged out of all the things I had... And i was wondering" She paused in the middle her explanation still looking at the white mare before her who had sat in the chair in front of her picking up her sketchpad and pencil with her magic "If you could make me my clothes, just the same ones I wear. Not too flashy and girlish, but I don't mind little changes to the design. I wouldn't mind a green waistcoat or a blue one to go with it as well or some green or blue with black striped socks. I would like a set of white long sleeve shirts, but a green top hat and a blue one too. The same with the coats I wear. I know its much to do but I really cannot stand walking around with nothing on, even with this cloak I feel bare"
Rarity was scribbling down the notes of Solitaires two sets of clothes in her sketch book and smiled softly "Its not much to do since your a small size and the fabric you prefer is not to hard to find. But I would do anything for a friend at the most."
"Your too generous Rarity," Solitaire had complimented her and set down the bag full of her special tea and a bag of bits "This should be enough right? The tea is something i thought you might like to relax yourself and unwind from the stress of your work."
"Darling you really didn't have to make me this, but your tea that you make is exquisite. Minty is right to pester you to make a tea shop." She replied picking up the tea and the bag of bits with care. "Haven't you considered to start one up?"
"Its not that I don't want to Rarity, but I have other things to take care of..." she trailed off beginning to think of Wonderland and how she would manage to get back home when she saw Rarity looking at her in question
"Like what dear? Your quite the card entertainer but you are worth so much more than that, Unless your talking returning home so soon after you got here. It was quite the fright I received when you appeared out of no where with quite the bashing" She had spoken calmly for it was not the first time she talked about it with her.
Solitaire shuffled uncomfortably and smiled weakly "I know i have not been here that long but I miss home. I still do want to stay here but I am torn between the two lands. I will take you to Wonderland and show you how beautiful and crazy the fashion designs are, you can count on that but I need to have a talk with my father. I'm sure you have heard of Discord how surprised he was when he saw me in this land."
"I'm still wondering how you even got here darling. Its not everyday you see a resident of Wonderland yet daughter of the Mad Hatter to appear in Equestria unannounced." Rarity was still scribbling in her sketchbook as she talked with her, being careful with the design she had planned for Solitaires clothes.
"Rarity.. I have something to---"
Solitaire was cut off when Fluttershy had walked into the boutique and saw them. Solitaire looked down at the floor and tried to remain calm when Rarity greeted her and asked her to sit down in the chair.
"Fluttershy, I'm sorry about what happened. I didn't mean to scare or hurt you like that" She apologized quietly as she had sat down next to her.
"Its fine Solitaire, Discord explained how devastated you were for that attack you had and I forgive you. I didn't get hurt though, I am pretty lucky to have discord there when it happened." She replied softly, fluttering her wings a little before speaking again "I'm guessing your getting some new clothes then?"
Solitaire looked up with a soft smile as Rarity had walked in with three cups of Solitaire's special tea and some biscuits. All was quiet when each of them sipped their tea, relaxing the tension between them, though it was mostly Solitaire who had created that atmosphere herself. It was until Rarity had spoken to try and pick up the conversation where they last left off.
"What was it that you wanted to tell me Solitaire?" She asked showing Solitaire the designs of the clothes just to check if she liked them.
Solitaire replied calmly shaking her head "Its nothing important Rarity, But these designs are perfect." She had gotten up placing her cup on the tray "But I must be off if you do not need me for anything. I have to fix something for Minty Since he's been crashing into things with those wings of his" She chuckled remembering how she had first met him as well as hearing some chuckles from the two mares.
"I don't know how he can keep going with those wings he makes, He certainly goes through quite the trouble with them" Fluttershy giggled quietly
"He should have Rainbow Dash teach him how to fly," Rarity answered back happily "Well your clothes will be done within a week Solitaire, please do drop by sometime, you don't get out much,"
"I guess I should go out a little bit more than I should, but it was really nice seeing you and Fluttershy again." She spoke and headed toward the door "Thank you very much for the tea and biscuits, as well as taking some of your time to speak with me."
"It was my pleasure Dear, " Rarity smiled opening the door for her and waving her off.
For Madness, Comes a Price
Chapter 6- Finding out the Truth
Solitaire walked off into the town with a smile on her face, she felt so warm and fuzzy from seeing her friends again. The ponies were really kind around here, though it is not surprising why Princess Twilight had settled here. As she trotted into the square she had seen Minty talking to a few of his friends, but he wasn't wearing his wings like he usually does.
Probably doesn't know where they are. He doesn't really check around the house Solitaire thought to herself and continued to walk. The day was warm with a soft breeze from the pegasi, you wouldn't have expected such a nice day in the middle of spring but it did brighten up her mood.
"Solitaire! Solitaire! There you are!" She had heard a stallion call out from behind her, some other voices were calling out her name as she stopped to turn around to see where the voice had come from. It wasn't much of a surprise to see Minty and his friends running up to her, though Minty had tackled her to the floor unable to stop himself from running.
She squealed and wriggled underneath him, her hooves waving in the air frantically "Minty! Get up off meee!" She squealed again, now trying to push him off her.
He pulled himself up and picked her up off the ground and began to dust himself off "Sorry Solly" He giggled embarrassed about his fall as Solitaire shook herself making her mane messy than it already was.
Solitaire frowned at the dirt that was on her coat and sighed, blinking as she did "Your a clumsy fellow aren't you Minty? But hello there. And hello Smasher, Clear, Strider and Murk." She greeted his friends with a polite smile "Please excuse me of the lack of outfit i usually wear. I had been to Rarity's to order some new ones, Since I managed to rip them in one of my shows."
Minty wasn't convinced about what she had said but it was more than easy to convince the others. She didn't need to convince Minty since he already knew the truth about the attacks that happened. She didn't want many to know though. The mane 6 did because the demon inside her was a threat to the land of Equestria, as did Discord and Minty. She only wanted to take precautions before anything happened to the citizens around Ponyville or where ever she went. But in another way her answer prevented Minty asking where she went when he had woken up. She had smiled thinking of minty asleep, snuggling up to a stitch plushie and chuckled to herself.
"Well is there anything i can do for you Minty Fix and Company?" she chuckled softly, sitting on the bench nearby them as they had followed her, Minty sitting down next to her and laying back, trying to get himself comfy. Though she had sat next to him, he had instantly picked her up and placed her onto his lap, letting the last of his friends to sit down and smiled at her.
"Well it is only suitable that the lady should feel like a queen, Don't you think?" he chuckled so all his friends could hear.
She had gotten flustered as she sat on Minty's lap, though she did try and struggle to get him off of her, but he held her firmly in place "M-Minty! What are you doing!?" she squeaked in a high pitched voice, shutting her eyes tightly as she blushed bright red with embarrassment.
"Aww you don't want to sit down now? I thought it would be nice for you to feel taller than us stallions, at least feel comfortable?" he questioned a cheeky grin on his face
She stared at him still bright red in the face "It feels weird like this. Please let me go Minty." she spoke firmly waiting for him to let her go. He did after a few minutes and sighed unhappily.
"Very well. Though i tried to enjoy the little fun, but you ruined it" he spoke with a pouted face.
Solitaire's muzzle screwed up and sneezed, falling off of him and onto the floor. Her fur had fluffed up at the reaction of her sneeze causing Minty and his friends to stare at her in surprise.
"That... That is so cute!" Murk gasped staring as Minty picked her up, hugging her tightly
"No! Nuuu it's not cute! Not cute" She squealed, pulling Minty away from her "Lemme go!"
"No such a cute violet fluffball should be cuddled tightly" He chuckled and nuzzled her fluffy fur, her mane had done the same.
Solitaire squealed once more before pouting angrily, though it made her look more cuter than angry especially when she was looking like a life sized fluffball.
A click of fingers had snapped and the fluffy mare disappeared out of Minty's arms and into the Draconequus' arms who had appeared when he had heard the sneeze. "I heard an adorable sneeze! And now i have the little fluffy Pony who did it!" He chuckled squeezing Solitaire in his arms as she growled pawing at the chaotic creatures face.
"Put meh down! The great Fluffeh Solitaire does not need to be squabbled over!" she squeaked, struggling and pawing at him.
"Discord! I want the fluffeh Pony! Give me her back!" Minty protested stomping his hooves against the ground, his friends backing him up.
Discord floated in the air holding Solitaire in one of his claws before throwing her up in the air and pawing at her fluffy body, bouncing her up in the air again as she shrieked and squealed telling him to put her down, which he ignored. His head turned to Minty and then pointed at Solitaire "Explain why you want my Fluffball Violet pony friend Minty and then I may give her back to you?" He giggled watching him curiously
"I'll give you both the polka dots for a week if i don't get put down this instant!" Solitaire shrieked as she flailed in the air, trying to get her self away from Discord, but each time she teleported away from him, Discord had instantly brought her back into his paw and threw her up in the air again.
She soon began to feel a bit queasy from her being tossed in the air, listening to the talk between Discord and Minty before she sneezed again, flying back as Discord tried to grab her, only she had managed to slip out of his claw and paw landing into Minty on her back, squealing in fright. Minty too was shocked but held onto her tightly as he fell back her fur cushioning both of their falls. "No... more throwing me in the air" she coughed, picking herself up as Minty did the same. Though she was still dizzy from being tossed up into the air she began to sway as she tried to walk forward, giggling "I look as if I am drunk right now don't I?" she managed to grab the bench and rested her head on it the world spinning around her, her hoof weakly tapping the upper wooden planks "The world is spinning... Make it stop," she mumbled weakly.
Minty had sat behind her and held her softly as she tried to recover from the dizziness her ears pressed against her head as she held it on the bench.
"Is everything okay Solly?" Minty spoke softly stroking her fluffed up back as he heard her giggle weakly.
"I'm fine.. just.. dizzy by Dissy" she murmured again the bench still tapping it with her hoof, she had closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down, breathing in and out, a usual trick she used to help herself. Though she was tired to even want to stand and decided to rest on Minty's lap since he shifted her to sit properly on the bench with him and dozed off.
"Well that didn't take long, hehe." Discord purred, floating besides them as he poked Solitaire's ear.
She mumbled against Minty's shoulder and flicked her ears as her hoof wavered in the air, though they couldn't hear her.
Discord was amused by her reaction and poked her ear again this time she had lifted her head "Discord.. you annoying creature.. staph" she mummered, snuggling back into Minty's shoulder again.
"But it's fun, fluffy widdle pony" he giggled poking her again.
"I ain't lying about giving you polka dots for a week Dissy.. stop it" she yawned holding onto Minty as she placed her chin on his shoulder realizing she won't be able to doze on him unless Discord stopped his persistent poking.
She was right, over the course of five minutes she had puffed out her cheeks and stared at the back of the bench, trying to ignore the Draconequus' poking, hoping he would get bored of it. Of course, she was wrong and his persistent poking continued. She closed her eyes and let her horn glow a pale blue casting polka dots on him, from head to tail.
"Hey! That's unfair Solitaire!" Discord whined, flicking is tail from left to right slowly and whimpered.
"That's what you get for messing around with a princess.." she yawned tiredly, not realizing what she had said.
Minty had jumped underneath her exclaiming in surprise "Your a princess?"
"Of course she's a princess Minty? You didn't know that?" The polka dotted Discord questioned the minty-green pony
"H-how? She's no alicorn." Minty replied quickly feeling Solitaire shuffle into him, humming softly from the warmth of his body.
"Mnn.. Not all princesses have to be an alicorn Mintiness," Solitaire purred, nibbling his ear "I want ice creeeaaaam..."
"You act as if your a child Solice," Discord chuckled and lifted her up from Minty's lap, hanging her like a kitten held by its mother. Her face tired and droopy now that her fur had settled down from her sneezes, she let out another yawn showing her white fangs as Minty stared at her with wide eyes.
"I still want ice creaaaaaaaaam." She wiggled in Discord's claw, her forehooves pawing the air "Pay me in ice cream you jelly beans!"
"She has no idea what she's saying does she?" Minty asked Discord, looking at him slightly confused.
"Well you would to if you were tired from the days events, plus I doubt you got much sleep last night, You must have been talking for a while from Solice's trip" He replied and headed over to the ice cream shop, holding Solitaire with his tail now as he floated into the air.
"Well it's not every day seeing a Draconequus carry a sleepy Solitaire to the ice cream shop," He chuckled listening to Solitaire's whines for ice cream
"Ice Creeeeeaaamm, jelly beans and Mustard!" she had mumbled against Discords tail pawing at the swishing end of his tail.
"So, theres a question I want to ask you Discord." Minty chuckled softly watching Solitaire amuse herself with Discord's tail.
"What is it you want to ask? or what is to ask of me?" He replied with a chuckle of his own feeling the purple pony paw at his tail "Next thing you know she'll be hanging from it by the mouth," He had turned to look at her checking if she was ok.
"How long have you known Solitaire, you two seem to be pretty close" Minty replied as they entered the shop and headed to where their favourite ice cream was.
"I have known her longer than I have known the mane six, She was only a filly when she and I first met, though she came with her mother and father. At first she stared at me fascinated by the way I looked in stone when her father explained my story with the princesses. So your guessing around four or five years old." Discord went on with himself, picking one of each ice cream and buying them "She came to visit me every day or when she could after then. It seemed I was her only friend and I was right. Though she is lucky to have you Minty. You have made the mare more happier than I could. For that I thank you,"
"She sounds like she had a rough childhood" Minty spoke walking with him as he carried some of the bags of ice cream towards Solitaire's house.
"She did, quite a few times I have heard what has happened in her home. Back in Cardell, it's a place in wonderland if she hasn't told you. Though she hasn't told me much of what happened to her. She was most happy perched on my head like the Cheshire cat when i was set in stone, that is until she met you." Discord replied opening Solitaire's door and let Minty inside, going into the house shortly after. "You don't mind if I stay in the guest bedroom tonight, I would like to keep an eye on her, I don't want Cresent to hurt her like she did last night."
"I don't mind Discord, you are a good friend to her after all and to me, your only just looking out for her" He smiled and placed the ice cream in the freezer before turning back to the living room though he was surprised to see Solitaire was licking the ice cream out of one of the tubs he was sure he had put in the freezer "Well you are certainly the most confusing mare I have ever met,"
Solitaire lifted her head and looked at Minty, her tongue out and ice cream on her muzzle blinking a few times before going back and licking the ice cream again.
"You get used to her crazy ways, though she always manages to surprise you every now and again" Discord chuckled as he watched her in the guest chair, contently enjoying her ice cream from the sofa.
"Your not wrong about that Dissy.. If I may call you that" Minty replied, sitting down next to Solitaire and wiped the ice cream from her muzzle. "So if its alright with Solitaire, Darling.." He looked at her with loving eyes and rubbed her forehead with his hoof when he spoke "May I ask how she had got here?"
Discord hesitated for a second and looked at the purple pony who had placed the empty tub of ice cream onto the table and licked her lips, now trying to lick the ice cream on her nose with her tongue, failing.
"I do not know much about why and how Solice had got here, though I would like to hear it myself to be honest" Discord answered Minty's question still watching the pony in amusement as she did her best to lick the ice cream on her muzzle "Would you like to help her there Minty.. Hehe she seems to be quite in the predicament"
Minty chuckled and leaned close to Solitaire, her eye crossed, trying to focus on the vanilla ice cream that had sat on her nose for the past two minutes, melting. Her Nose had scrunched up from the coolness of the tasty dessert, not noticing Minty was staring at the ice cream with similar interest before she felt a wet tongue lick her nose causing her to blink in surprise and her tongue hanging from her mouth not happy about loosing her little entertainment.
She recoiled her tongue into her mouth, hissing a little like a snake and went back to her usual purring, reminiscing the taste of vanilla in her mouth before she felt Minty rubbing her ears. "Mmmnhh... Staph your disturbing my reminiscing of the vanilla flavor," she purred, pressing her hoof lightly against his nose
"Well my question has still been left unanswered..." He reminded her making her eyes snap open from her usual blinking.
For a moment she shifted uncomfortably, moving her hoof, slowly, away from Minty's green nose and stared at the wall. "So you wish to know about how I got here?" She said quietly, looking at her forehooves.
Discord shifted slightly in his chair and took a deep breath "It's something to do with that banishment thing you were on about in Wonderland wasn't it?" He spoke calmly trying to ease the tension that had suddenly built up in the room.
"Banishment?" Minty asked curiously staring at the two creatures in confusion.
"Yes, banishment. I'm an exiled princess Minty. Wonderland or my Father doesn't want me back, if I do return it will result in my death or worse." She replied, laying down on her front, staring at the wall gazelessly. "It only happened because of what my fathers choice was ages to save Wonderland."
"Which was?" Discord asked curiously
"You should know by now Discord, or at least have figured it out." Solitaire looked at him, her gazeless eyes still showing, coating all emotion from them. "Remember when Wonderland was plagued by a terrible threat of the old queen of the country of hearts and her demonic princess spirit. Which her name is known to the both of you."
"You mean Cresent?" Minty asked
"Bingo... Got it in one," They heard another voice say in a ghostly like voice.
"So you want to tell the tale Demon?" Solitaire snarled quietly, digging her hooves into the soft fabric of the couch she and Minty was laying on.
"I could cause you more pain if you want child! I am only trying to keep the damn peace here so don't get snappy with me!" Its shrieked in anger as Solitaires fur was slowly turning greyish on her back, in small patches.
Smoke or a hazy mist had soon rose from Solitaire's body growing until it touched the ceiling. It had soon sharpened itself into a half body of a Unicorn, with greyish blue wings sprouting from what it looked like its back, purple and blue spiked hair had flowed from its head like smoke disappearing at what looked like the end of its hair, the same for its wings and the lower half of its body. Two Z red shaped marks appeared on its eyes and a tear drop at the ends of its mouth with two splotches on its nostrils. When its eyes fluttered open revealing its piercing dark blue eyes stared at the creature in seriousness but filled with rage and anger, enough to make the creatures around her quake in fear.
It floated above Solitaire for a few seconds before settling itself in front of the TV. Its ghostly like body was partly transparent just enough for them to make out the shape of the objects that stood behind it. Its horn stood tall with power as the creature opened its mouth revealing its brilliantly white sharp, long fangs and a dark turquoise tongue.
"Now as I was saying, you are correct Minty. Do not worry I am not going to attack you unless provoked. But be reminded that Solitaire's life is in my hooves." It spoke calmly unlike its usual shriek of anger and terror.
"So you have decided to show yourself Cresent, but in the most intriguing way, if i must say myself." Discord replied as if he was expecting her to reveal herself.
Minty's eyes widened seeing the ghostly version of Cresent and stood up of the sofa stiffened by its gaze on him "Cresent... So we meet again...." He shivered, speaking shakily.
"Do sit down Minty, you do not have to be so afraid of me every time I am stood in front of you. I cannot harm you in this form." Cresent chuckled tilting her head to the side in amusement of the young stallions actions.
Minty sat down, edging closer to Solitaire who was laying down and breathing slightly deeply, resting his head on hers. "I know but you still make me quite cautious of you."
"I don't blame you after what i did to you when we first met. I have the most unusual outbursts and tempers at times," She chuckled "You had sensed my coming Discord? Why doesn't it not surprise me, former evil creature,"
Discord sighed and slumped in his chair, his tail curling "Ah I was once evil but you find it boring from time to time. After all its fun being a bit mischievous, but my friends are more important to me now"
Cresent was surprised by his answer and frowned slightly "Well it is your choice in the end.. Not all creatures are cut out to be evil all their lives, including you who got the severe punishment of being set in stone for a long time"
"Well my dear all that's changed now so it really should be me asking all the questions including Minty Fix himself. After all you did put Solitaire in a lot of trouble," Discord replied with a now serious tone, his fangs slightly bared.
For Madness, Comes a Price
Chapter 7- Cresent
"Discord, Discord.. how very rude of you to bare your fangs at me," The demon spoke with a soft chuckle, staring at him with her piercing blue eyes. Her head resting against her hoof and her smokey black wings fluttering slightly causing more of the emitting smoke to disperse around her.
"How can I not bare my fangs at you Cresent, you question my past and yet you think this is all fun and games to hurt ponies and creatures alike with your stupidity," Discord stood up as he loomed over the beast in front of him, his red and yellow discorded eyes glaring at her filled with anger and hatred. "Tell me why you decided to show yourself and yet cause Solitaire her pain of enduring you deep in the embodiment of her soul?!"
"You wanted to know how and why poor little violet pony had to deal with me in the first place, even that filly doesn't remember why she was chosen to keep me in chains!" Cresent snarled, slamming her hooves on the table causing her chains to rattle and shake ferociously/ "Now sit down you over grown messed up beast or I swear I'll make you rue the day you came out of stone!"
"I'd like to see you try you pipsqueak of a demon! You underestimate my powers of the very being of Chaos!" He snarled, pressing his head against hers only to fall through it and onto the table.
"I see you forgotten I am not fully in being. Haha, you are as stupid of a beast as they come. I could tame you with a tap of my hoof." Cresent chuckled, her lips curling into a sinister smile. "After all isn't that what Fluttershy did to you when you realized you had used her for a fool and took her friendship away from you, fancy that."
Discord's tail flicked wrapping it around Solitaire's limp body from her passing out a few moments ago, her eyes shut but her breathing troubled from the strain of Cresent summoning herself out of her soul. "You need to get out.... Now! No more of your stupidity here Cresent, not until you realize the pain you have caused my dear friends, I know you killed Alicen. You made her father look upon her as some sort of demon I hear things and I see things when I was set in stone, I heard Solitaires pleas to give her the strength to deal with you but she could never manage that could she.. because your always targeting her weakest spots to get out with any way you can!"
Minty interrupted them both by pulling Solitaire onto the couch again and holding her close. She had sort of regained her consciousness during the argument and groaned softly. Minty sighed and looked at Discord and then at Cresent.
"You caused a lot of trouble for Solitaire, Cresent and you're still causing it now." He spoke almost too calmly for his manner.
"Depends what you mean by A LOT of trouble..." Cresent sat down curiously with a smile upon her face before turning it into a curious face "Like.... Trying to get out or just causing her some pain to roam free for a bit, nothing to tedious if you ask me."
A rumble echoed from the room causing Solitaire to look at Discord tiredly, she was sweating now, the strain was causing her to be on the edge of unconsciousness and consciousness.
"Make... it.. stop.." she gasped shutting her eyes.
"The poor pony doesn't even know what shes on about, just slightly pulling on her life strings but nothing too bad" the grey wispy pony was teasingly stroking her head with a soft giggle.
A green hoof smacked right through the head of the pony making her look at the now angry stallion that had pulled the meaner strings of himself.
"Whoa green pony.. what was that for? I was only messing." Cresent sighed floating back in front of the TV. She could see that Discord had to hold his claw to stop himself from doing the same thing.
"You know fully well why I did that Cresent, if you don't stop messing around and leave us, then tell us why the hell you're around here in the first place" Minty hissed.
"Jeez, calm down mint leaf," Cresent sighed rolling her cat like eyes before tapping her hoof through the table "You want to know why the little princess got casted out of Wonderland? here I'll tell you why,"
For Madness, Comes a Price
Before Solitaire had even came to the existence of Wonderland. Wonderland didn't exist. Instead, Wonderland was made up of three kingdoms. I, Cresent, the ruler of the Heart Kingdom was ruling with another. The one I called my special somepony, my husband Corrupted Darkflame, a handsome midnight grey pony with deep red striped mane and tail. He was a mighty powerful Pegasus who well, liked to research and play mind games with the neighboring kingdoms. You see, wonderland had not become wonderland since it was at war with Cardell in the Madness region and the Spadians, in the spade and club region.
I could never really tell why they couldn't pick a better region name but that's just how they were.
The Madness region used to be a big and I would not lie, they were a Mafia country all sorts of villains and nastiness happened there. The Club and Spade's however, they were a quiet and peaceful kingdom, always relying on their many friend's across regions. By friends I mean spies.
Now my kingdom was strong and powerful, we relied on knowledge and magic. We didn't have many threats but when it came to them we found our way around, lies, secrets, blackmail... you name them. Hardly anyone could be trusted and everyone knew that.
The reason we were all at war was because the Mad Hatter had declared that our countries should join and be ruled under one leader. He wasn't brought and raised under the madness land. No one knew where he had come from but he made himself very know on how much power and how much he knew how to stir our countries into pure chaos. He announced a meeting for him and the three leaders to discuss this matter as a tea party at the border and center of wonderland. Though it didn't go according to plan, Our "tea party" was used as an assassination event killing one of the club and heart leaders and the madness big boss.
We were all shocked, all except the Mad Hatter who was giggling insanely at the whole event. This Mad Hatter was Solitaire's Great Grandfather who we call the Mad Joker. He was the only Stallion that forced us to create the peace treaty and Join the kingdoms otherwise his power would cause the whole world to burn to ashes. It was only 3 years later that chaos stirred up again once another meeting was put into place for the King of Wonderland.
Where I had become a dangerous soulless creature by my own husbands and the Mad Jokers hands. They had secretly came up with a plan for me to kill or go on a killing spree to murder the rest of the leaders, in which they had succeeded. Corrupted Darkflame had became King of all wonderland and had me and the Mad Joker right in his hooves. I had no sense of mind, but I know I was locked up in chains. I was not an alicorn when I was queen. I was a regal and once beautiful unicorn. Alicorn's were classed as monsters and dangerous creatures that would eat and tear at the flesh of any pony or stallion that would cross their path.
It had come to them that i was a great asset to their devious plan, though i thought otherwise. My main objective was to be free and cause eternal chaos throughout the regions and perhaps the world.
The Mad Joker had soon found himself a mate, though the relationship was terrible in many eyes who were not criminals, Corrupted on the other hand was soon finding himself driven to madness, causing the countries to wager war on each other. They were blind of my rising power as i was hidden away in the throne room, just under the throne itself. I was growing hungry for the power and flesh of the creature that made me this way, it was my main plan.
It was fortunate that the guards had left my cage open one night and i slipped out grabbing the horses in my power feeding on their flesh to gain more of my strength before moving onto the main course, i was the one who caused Darkflame to go into complete madness, I stripped him of his power and every memory except where he had transformed me, i etched it into his mind completely. What evil creature would i be if i didn't let my prey suffer?
The Mad Joker ended up getting himself killed from his adventures leaving his wife and his own son, Solitaire's father ,Baticuron, to fend for themselves. I clearly shown my power and drove the land back into chaos, feeding off the power of gifted unicorns until Allicen arrived, I couldn't do anything to her. Baticurion had done something to keep me from harming her they were the ones who sealed me into Allicen's Purifying vase. It had kept me there for many years only to slowly crumble into pieces not long after Solitaire was born, I was becoming a threat to Wonderland again. Of course Baticurion had tried several attempts to keep me in chains or remain me into the vase but it wasn't happening. He then resorted to imprisoning me into Allicen's body but the spell rejected it forcing him to seal me into Solitaire. Each time she hit her birthday my attacks had grew more and more viscous on people, No matter how Purple mare tried she could not contain me to her limits. I would have always found a way out to control her, resulting in her mothers murder.
"ENOUGH!!" Solitaire cried out "I do not want to speak of this, that memory, that nightmare.... should not be spoken of"
A sudden silence entered the room as Solitaire panted, sweating from the endurance of Cresent's appearance out of her body. Her violet hooves digging into the fabric.
"My... Mother was murdered by Cresent, My father grew to hate me and lock me in the castle and away from people Until my dad came to me drunk, trying to kill me with a knife. I was the one to escape the palace and forcing my dad to banish me, Now here i am"
Cresent looked at Solitaire and chuckled "Seems I hit a delicate spot then... shame though."
"You're mocking me again Cresent... I don't want to force you back in the prison again, i'm not going through the pain of that again, so either you seal yourself away or just make it hard for yourself i suggest you stop speaking"
"Well Solitaire you certainly snapped dead easily, fine..." Cresent replied
