Melody was walking down one of the halls in her underground castle- witch the foxes liked to call 'the burrow'- she had no idea why.

She was humming a... well-- melody that her parents used to sing to her when she was a pup.

'funny really,' she thought 'you could call a young draconequus just about anything. Of corse there was an actual term used by the elders before the extinction event... what was it again?...'

She padded into a sitting room she used for important thinking... and tea- but thinking for now.

Melody jumped onto a stack of pillows and circled a couple times before setleing. She didn't have anything important to do right now. She knew Celestia would come round eventually. How did she know this? Well a foxes natural sneakiness made them amassing spy's.

'Well I remember I met Soarké... or was that Erikled? Well one of the elders mentioned... Ah! draconequii young are called Esperki!' she smiled.

She had lived in a clan for the majority of her childhood. Until the extinction event that is... at least one hundred species were wiped out via earth quake. Draconequii were nateive to Maratie, a land that didn't even exist in this dimension! she had no idia how Discord escaped this in the first place. She had noticed how he talked, he was most definitely from Maratie.

Not all draconequii had magic. in fact, magic was extremely rare in a draconequus, usuley only those of pure bred(as pure bred as draconequii could get that is) even had the slightest amount. Now she- and obviously Discord- were the exception. For some reason. She knew that they weren't related, she would have known something like that the second she saw him, Instinct and all.

She sighed and rolled onto her back, unfurling her wings and spreading them out behind her. She rased a paw and examed the long, silk-like snow white fur. She had seen drawings of Discord, he had shaggy brown, gray, and yellow fur. She had no idea if he even brushed it. His mane and two of his limbs were pretty much the only physical things that had in common.

'Discord is most definitely not pure bred. But neither am I and I've had magic all my life...' she thought.

Pure bred draconequii weren't all that special looking, that tyipicly only looked like one animal with something it shouldn't have. Like a dog with antlers or a bear with wings. Definitely not Discord.

"Well lets see... lion, pony, horse- not to sure what the difference is in this dimension-, egal- or chicken. I'm not to sure, dragon, lizard- or different coloured dragon. Again, not sure... dear, antelope, his body... well I'm not to sure what the hell that's supposed 'ta be, bat- animal not sport, and pegasus...?" She listed his body parts, counting on her fingers "so... eleven? Or eight- depends on what you count. And me... lion, dragon, wolf, ram, horse, snowy owl, body... again i have no clue. Seriously, what serpent-like creature of mythology has fur? FUR?!?!" she rolled onto her stomach.

The only way she knew she had the wings of a snowy owl was the small gray flecks that were hardly visable, only a few shades darker then the rest of her body save for her mane and tail.

She could only gess how horrifyingly normal pony anatomy compared to draconequii. She had two hearts and huge lungs, four kidneys, three stomachs, the normal amount of digestive organs- she guessed, one brain of corse, a froked toung, and she had no idea how one could talk a advanced language and bark and howl like a wolf plus all the other animals she was made of.

She shook her head. It wasn't all that important. She would just ask Discord how he escaped the extinction event. It didn't have a name still after 8,500 years. Not that she knew of at least.

"Maby Discord will want to name it..." she thought out loud. She had never had the heart to name it. Her ears pressed agenst her skull as she remembered that week. It took her days to sift trough the ruins.

She shiged and opened a portal

The six friends and one dragon were on the train to Canterlot.

Twilight was thinking of all the was she was going to kill her brother when she saw him.

Rarity was beyond ecstatic, most probley making a mental note of all the supplies she would need.

Rainbow dash was trying and failing to sit still, ocasonaly doing a air born lap around the train cart.

Fluttershy was... being Fluttershy... so not much of anything really.

Pinkie was literally jumping for joy and speaking so fast her mouth was just about a blur. She only sat down when everyone told her to, not that it did any thing to stop her bouncing.

Applejack was cool as a 'apple in winter' or something like that, none would put it past her to say something along those lines.

Spike was being as irrelevant and annoying as usual. To an extent thankfully.

They were almost there now. They found the large pink bubble a little odd, but ignored it for now.

Discord was in the garden as always. The forcefilled around -what he could tell- was all of Canterlot. Might delay Melody if it stays up over night.

He had access to little to no acsess to his magic, But he could practically taste all the magic being pored into the air. If he could actualy taste that is. It felt nice.

But it didn't quite feel as nice as chaos magic. Regardless, it was a feeling other then boredom or loathing so he wasn't going to complain.

Probley one of the reasons he talked with that other draconequus. The mane reasons for it were, boredom, more boredom, boredom, mutual pigeon hatered, and oh! More bucking boredom!...

Well that and... he was lonely. He had always felt lonely- no matter how many sentient things he had around him he always felt they were... different. no matter how hard he tryed to ignore it. no matter how many times Celestia or Luna said they were his friends... there was always a nagging feeling not to trust them, or at least take everything with a grain of salt.

It never mattered. Melody, was difrent, he felt trusting of her. like she was the one fleck of white paint on a wall of black paint. Or some other, more relavent metaphor.

Mabey it was because thay were the same species. He had no idia where he came from, other then biology, he had no idia what happened before he woke up in a cave with a note, a pile of books and a Phoenix.

'Yes... that note' he spat. He scanned his memory for what it said. Luckily, he placed a spell on every memory pre '1000 years in stone and the effects on a male's psyche' that allowed him to access it as though he were still there.

He groaned and slowly got up. He was in a cave.

"What the..." he whispered

He jumped as he heard a shrill from a large orange, yellow and red bird. It had a note in its beak. He took the note.

"Thanks? '8/12/26863: If you are reading this, you aren't dead. Hooray!' Uhh..." he sat up on his haunches and continued to read 'Now, if you can't remember any thing, here's the low down. I am your father, Martom, me and your mother, Aliled, decided if anything were to happen we would have a fail save for you. Currently you are only a few months old, but better safe then sorry. Now if any thing bad were to happen a spell would activate and you would be sent away in a flash of light. If you do not remember your name or age or anything like that, here's the basics, your name is Discord Qwaillmar, your current age will be implemented via magic -1,743 years TEEN-'"

He looked over to the bird "Discord Qwaillmar, 1,743 years old. I like the sound of that" he looked back to the note and continued

" 'Your birth date is Tuesday 4/1/26863 7:37 pm, your gender is male,' well I knew that 'dad'!" He said "Anyway. Ware was I... 'you are an animal called a draconequus, and you have access to grate amounts of magic- almost jaw-dropping- and you aren't even 1 yet! Anyway, The bird with you is called a phonix, she will help you. I hope from the bottom of my heart that you never have to read this, if you do... your mother and I are sorry we couldn't protect you. Good bye my son, and good luck. 4/1/27163, PS, This is your mother writing this. It is your 1,000th birthday today. Here is a sketch of you, your father and I. I decided if something were to happen... I love you my son. You should never give up, believe in yourself. I know I do. If we never met again... good bye.'" He exhaled. He felt sad... but he dident know why.

He took the sketch in his claws. The paper was a light brown and the picture was in colour. On the left stood his father. he had no idia how he knew this was his father, he just did. His father had a tan leopard left hind leg, the green right hind leg of a lizard, a yellow eagle right arm not unlike Discord's, a sky blue scaled dragon left arm, a chestnut equine head, deer antlers, his eyes had bright yellow sclera, red irises and black slit pupils, two rather large white fangs, a long orange tabby cat tail that ends in a white tip, a short black mane that went all the way between his antlers and to his forehead, and a furred dark brown serpentine body witch hosted two large unfurled black bat wings. He had a gentle smile on his muzzle.

His mother was standing to the right.
She had the right hind leg of a brown bear, the chestnut hind left leg of a horse, a tan lion left arm, the right arm of a gray wolf, a light gray equine head, pail blue antelope horns, her eyes had light blue sclera, blue irises and black slit puples, with one small fang that came out of the mouth on the left, a red dragon tail with a black tuft of fur on the end, a long, braided white mane that circled her horns, a furred dirty blond serpentine body which held large unfurled light blue feathered wings. She to had a warm smile.

In the middle of them was him, Discord. He had a green lizard left hind leg, a chestnut brown horse right hind leg, his right arm was a tan lions leg, his left a yellow eagle tallon, a light gray equine head, a white antler on the left, a blue horn on the right, his eyes were like his fathers, one medium sised light yellow fang on the left of his muzzle, a red dragon tail with a large white tuft on the end, a short black mane on his neck and a small section of long white hair in between his horns, a furred brown serpentine body witch had a light blue feathered wing on the right and a dark purple bat wing on the left, both wings were an admiral size.

Discord looked over to the so called phonix "You're going to help met out?"

She thrilled.

"Good, now lets get out of this cave, eh?"

The memory began to fade and Discord was pulled back to reality... and about two thousand bug ponys.

'Of corse the first interesting thing in five hundred years happens wale I'm not paying attention! I blame the bucking sky rats... I wonder if Celestia still has that phonix I gave her?'

Melody stepped into the field. The grass was golden yellow. There were oak trees spaced trough out the field, instead of acorns thay had flowering poppies.

She smiled. Her species may be nerely extinct but Maratie was still just as beautiful as she remembered it.

A wide shallow, clear, mint green tinted river was next to her. It had a slow current and the bank and bottom of the river was coated with sparkling diamonds. A large, hevaly bilt fish slugged trough the water.

In the distance were the mountains, covered in large clusters of gemstones. A herd of silver jackalope galloped past, there long tails waveing behind them.

The gentle wind rustling the grass and her fur. She sighed.

A sea blue wyvern glided miles above the field, his long, full, navy blue mane blowing in the wind.

Her attention was terned to two Wolfeian shapeshifters who looked at her from across the river. They were surround in shadows. When the shadows cleared... they were gone.

She tilted her head. A loud zapping sound made her jump. She whipped her head over to ware the sound came frome. Thare stood the two shapeshifters in there human forms.

She could tell thay were twins. Thay had fiery red hair, emerald green eyes and pail skin. Thay both wore simple white linnen under shirts, black linnen pants and dark tan deerskin waistcoats.

The one on the left smiled and terned to his brother "Phoenix? What is that?" His tone was sweet but in a almost psychopathic way.

She knew who thay were, Griffin and Phoenix, the twin prince's born to Jade- sister of the monarch, Luner- and Marson, son of Eric 'The Dragon Blooded' they are the most insane, Bloodthirsty, Mersey-less, Powerful, sociopaths of the Farimore monarchy, rivaled only by Queen Luner herself.

Phoenix shrugged "No clue..." he terned to his brother "Never mind that! We have to find Levi, remember?"

Ah Leviathan, known in many dimensions as 'The Tormentor' he had the ability to enter someone's mind and drive them insane.

Griffin nodded and the two left.

Melody shiged and opened a portal back to Equis.

If they ever tryed to get Discord back into stone, she would have to make him come here. Witch she didn't mind. She loved it here.

Author's Note

Sorry for my awful spelling and grammar! I'm just the worst, I know. Anyway, hope you like it! I've had these characters and the dimension 'Maratie' for years. I decided they would be good in this story. I'll try to explained it better in later chapters. Sorry again.

EDIT: I fixed some of the spelling errors and plot holes. 'Luner' is long for Luna. Witch was her original name. I thought it would be confusing because… cough cough Princess Luna cough cough.
