If anyone says that being a statue is a bad thing they haven’t tried it. It’s oddly calming not in an insane way, kinda. So here I was, being a stone statue because two anthro winged ponies fired a rainbow beam at me and turned me into stone, the question I wanted to ask is why? Did I do something wrong? I didn’t eat anyone, was it because I was a dragon? No, that’s not it I was in more of a half human half dragon form, just flying around. I have to ask them why when I see them next time.

Now I was in some town or park somewhere. I couldn’t tell since I couldn’t see but from what I could hear and sense I could tell there were others around me at times, even when they ask what I was, they didn’t know but I didn’t blame then I was an odd sight, a human girl about the age of nineteen with dragon wings, tail and claws as a statute is a sight. I didn’t really care about the odd questions like ‘Mommy, what’s that?’ or ‘What in Equestria is this statue supposed to be?’ and my favorite ‘Ugg, why is this ugly thing here?’

Only one kid said that last one, I bet she’s a spoiled brat.

Now one might think that being a statue is bad for one’s mental state since your only see whatever is in front of you, well one; I can only see blackness in front of me. And two; there’s a neat trick called using your head to make a room for one’s mind. So that what I did, I made a nice room for me with a bed, a small kitchen, a wood stove, and bathroom. I had a couch in front of a tv and outside is what I could paint with the sounds from I could hear.

Now I wanted to say that today was a nice day but then I would be lying because I heard screaming from all around me. What was going on? Why is everyone screaming? My thoughts were interrupted by the feeling of someone picking me up and carrying me somewhere.

‘H-Hey! The hell are you doing?! Put me down!’ I yelled in my head. I then just realized that I was yelling to whoever is carrying me in my head and they can’t hear me. Great~.

I felt myself being put down on something, I couldn’t place what it was but so far it felt like grass.

“Now you stay right there, I don’t want you running off now.” a voice said in front of me.

‘Oh sure, now how am I supposed to run as is? I’m a flipping statue.’ I said mentally. I heard the being chuckle.

“Ahh Chaos, it’s a wonderful, wonderful thing.” he said.

“Not wonderful as friendship!” a female voice yelled out. If I could I would have facepalmed, that was so corny. I heard the being groan at this.

“This again?” he said as he drank something. I then heard something explode behind me and rocked me.

‘Oi! Watch it!’ I yelled again.

“That’s right, you couldn’t break our friendship for long.” a southern voice yelled out.

“Oh Applejack don’t lie to me, I’m the one who made you into a liar.” the being said. I then heard the sounds of some people struggling with something. I heard some popping sounds and the feeling of magic near me.

“I’ll tell you what we learned Discord,” Oh so the being is named Discord, that’s nice to know. “We learned that every friendship isn’t easy,”

No shit Sherlock. I mentally rolled my eyes at I block out the rest of this ‘friendship is great’ speech.

“Uggg, gag fine try to use the elements, ‘frenemies’ just make it quick.” Discord said as I felt his presence near me again. “I’m missing some excellent chaos here.”

“Alright ladies, let’s-”

“Ahahah, wait I forgot to mention something,” Discord said as I felt his hand, claw, paw, I don’t know on my shoulder. “I’m betting that you all wondering why there’s a statue next to me.”

‘Yay, someone’s going to say why I’m here. Please tell me why I’m here’ I thought. After a few moments of silence, I heard a groan from beside me.

“Well allow me to give you all a lesson on dragons,” again putting a paw, going with a paw, on my shoulder. “There are normal dragons, then there’s shadow dragons.”

“Shadow dragons?” one of the voices asked.

“Yes, give the smart one a prize.” Discord said as I heard some party noises go off. “Yes and right here trapped in stone is one of those shadow dragons, now do you think you can deal with me and a shadow dragon at the same time?”

There was a pause before I felt the same kind of magic that turned me into a statue. I heard Discord yawned a bit as the power was building. I then felt that magic start shooting pass my head.

“What’s this?” Discord said confused. More of those magic bolts shot past my head a few times. “No, this can’t be happening, I thought...”

‘Hey your big plan failed, good guys; one. Bad guys; zero.’ I thought as the power began to build in one spot.

“Well, I was hoping to not use this but,” I then felt my stone form began to crack and break. The room I made started to make cracks in the walls.

I was getting out, I was being freed! For once I was excited to be free from being a statue. The cracks became bigger and my room started to break down. I frowned sadly that I’m losing my mental home but I knew that it was the price to pay for freedom. After a few moments, I felt my magic return to me, which made me explode into my dragon form.

I let out a loud roar that shook the ground. As I closed my mouth I ate… something, it tasted like cotton candy. I blinked a few times at this as I began to look around. At first I didn’t see anything, only blackness. I clicked my tongue a few times until I started to see shapes, well that’s helpful, kinda. I then heard the sound of Discord laughing.

“HaHA! There, now with you out, they have to deal with us!” I felt Discord floated up to me into my face. “Now, how about it, want to create mass chaos together?”

I simply stared at him for a moment before raising my claw up to him and flicked him back to the ground. Looking up I unfurled my wings and took off into the sky. The felling of the rushing air was welcoming as I flapped my wings and soared in the air. I smiled as I flew away from all the craziness and into the open sky.

~Ω~

I sat in the throne room drumming my fingers on my throne nervously. It’s been a few hours since I sent all of Twilights letters on her lessons back to her. I hope they helped her in her task.

But… what if they didn’t? What if Discord beat them? Without Twilight and her friends, there’s no way to stop Discord rule.

“Sister, are you alright?” I heard Luna ask me. I looked at her with a smile.

“Just… Nervous.” I told her. She came up to me and put a hand on my shoulder.

“Tia, have faith in your student and her friends, they’ll win.” she said. I smiled at her as I put my hand on hers.

“Thank you Lu, thank you.” I said to her. She was about to say something but then we heard a loud roar and the presence of something dark. I ran to the window that faces towards Ponyville. Even from this distance I saw a large black shape flying up into the sky and away from the town.

“Tia, do you think-” Luna said but stopped as I looked at her.

“Yes, sister I think it is.” I said as I looked back towards the window. “A shadow dragon has been freed.”

~Ω~

I groaned as I pushed myself up from the ground. I looked around to see my friends lying on the ground, groaning a bit. I looked over to see Discord standing up from his small crater that he made when he fell. He looked up at the sky with a confused look.

“I… I don’t understand. That dragon should be insane, why isn’t it?” he asked himself. I stared at him for a moment before I heard my friends slowly come to.

“Well… that sure was annoying.” Applejack said as she pushed herself up.

“Is everyone alright?” I asked them. I heard some groans from my friends and a complaint from Rarity that her outfit is now dirty, so everyone’s fine. My eyes went on Rainbow as she looked over at Discord then to me. With a head nod to him was her way of saying that this was a good time to deal with him. We all gathered and redo the spell, a rainbow shot into the sky and arched down to Discord. He looked up at this and stared at it for a moment.

“Oh… great.” he groaned as he pulled a small umbrella out of nowhere and opened it. The rainbow slammed into the chaos being and petrify him.

After the rainbow dimmed and returned the town back to normal I saw Discord as a statue holding a small umbrella and wearing a shirt that says ‘I went to Equestria and all I got is this lousy t-shirt!’

With a sigh I smiled, with all that happened everything ended up alright in the end. I looked over and saw Fluttershy still looking up at the sky with a look of concern and worry.

“Fluttershy, are you alright?” I asked her. She looked over at me for a moment then back to the sky.

“The way Discord was talking about the shadow dragon that they were evil or insane,” she said thoughtfully.

“I don’t know Fluttershy, but if shadow dragons are like any other dragon,” I winced a bit as I said that since not all dragons are greedy and mean.

“Well, I saw the dragons face I saw a face of joy that its free, also did you see its eyes?” she asked. I frowned in confusion.

“What do you mean its eyes?” I asked her.

“They were somewhat clouded over, I saw something like this from one of my mouse friends,” She looked at me. “I think that dragon is blind.”

~Ω~

I flown over the land for a bit just so I can get a bit of my sight back, didn’t realized that being a trap in stone would mess with my eyes but flying was helping a bit, that and I also just wanted to fly through the sky.

As I soar through the sky I slowly began to see again, sorta. I started to get a sense of what’s around me and able get out of the way from it. I slightly curse myself for the fact that I’m not used seeing during the day, being in the Shadowfell for a long time can do a number on one’s eyesight. So far I can sense stuff about thirty feet away from me but well I’m feeling a bit better than now it will become a bit easier.

I flew around in the sky until I felt a familiar source of magic. It was subtle, something any mage would miss at first viewing. I glided down towards it and landed on the ground. I looked over to the small cave in a large mountain.

I slowly walked into the cave, my eyes adjusting to the low light of the cave. I saw random piles of gems and gold on the ground.

‘Someone been using this place to store their horde,’ I thought as I looked at the piles, seeing that some coins and gems laid on the ground towards the exit. ‘Thieves, it seems that whoever was here isn’t anymore.’

After being here for a few moments my presence began to change the surroundings; the light began to dim as the spells began to fall.

The cave opened up a bit more revealing a large cavern with nooks and crannies. I saw the shapes and somewhat shine of my own horde in different places of the cavern, unlike most dragons I like to have everything neat, tidy and organized.

My sight became much better here as I moved into the cavern, giving a quick glance back to the small piles. They started to float in the air and went over to the piles they’re supposed to go. I walked over to a tunnel which opens up to space for me to sleep in, I saw that in the walls were some grooves big enough for books, which were filled with that. There were books on ever school of magic which I read and practice every spell that they hold.

I went and laid down in the middle of the room and let out a sigh. My eyelids slowly started to fall even though I was free from being a statue. I closed my eyes and fell asleep in my cave with a smile.

a few hours later

I was awoken to an odd smell. I groggily lifted my head and sniffed the air, I smiled alcohol and something else, banana? Curious, I stood up and walked out towards the smell was coming from.

As I got closer to the smell I heard noises from the entrance of my cave. What I saw made my head tilt. I saw what looked like a human but with fur instead of skin, a monkey’s tail stirring something in a pot.

I watched this creature as it was making something in a pot. It sprinkled something into the pot and the smell became stronger. More curious I walked over to this creature and what ever it was doing. It turned to me with wide eyes.

“Ahhh! Dragon!” It, who I can tell was a he, screamed as he grabbed what looks like a frying pan. “Don’t eat me, I taste awful! Trust me I know.”

“I’m not going to eat you,” I said looking at what he was doing. “What are you doing in my home?”

“This is your home? That’s clears up why all the shiny stuff is all gone.” he said as he through the pan away, going back to stirring.

“What are you making?” I asked. The monkey looked at me and smiled.

“Monkey King Brew, want to taste it doesn’t taste like a shoe.” he asked. Looking at the pot I raised an eyebrow and laid down, I gave him a nod as he pulled out a large bowl and poured me some of his brew. Taking it in my claw and looking at it before I drank it.

“So, how do you like?” he asked me. I tasted it and blinked, it was odd in a good way. It was fruity and sweet yet strong, I tasted bananas with some other fruits in it.

“It’s interesting, it’s fruity and strong,” I said as I lick my lips. “You have some more?”

“Yes I do,” he said as he stirred the mixture. As I set the bowl down I looked over at the monkey man.

“If I can ask who are you?” I asked.

“I’m known by many names but mostly every monkey calls me Monkey King!” he said with a smile. I tilted my head that him.

“So, your name is Sun Wukong?”

“No no that’s someone else, friends call me King.” he said. He poured me some more and some for himself. “Now friend-”

“You just met me, why call me a friend?” I asked him. He just shrugged.

“You’re a dragon that didn’t eat me so we’re friends.” he said simply as he downed his drink. “So friend, got a name?”

I thought about it as I drink the beer. “I’m Telyn Gwynn.” I said and for the rest of that day we talked and drank beer, laughed at silly stories and having a good time.
