Celestia paced in her room, the doors heavily locked. The rainbow one said she was to stay here while he dealt with some visitors from Abyssinia and Drapan. She didn't understand what was so important. She paced, and paced, and paced. Until she heard a knock at the door. The smell wasn't that of a pony, but she was just happy to have someone here. When she felt the door lose its magical barrier, she opened the door. Revealing something strange that walked in, looking just as nervous as she did.

The creature was purely white with the mane being a silly blue. The eyes were brown, and it looked a lot like a pony that had gone through a stretcher with armour. She didn't like it, she could tell it was illusion magic. Thanks to Starswirl's constant attempts at magic tricks to cheer her up. He frowned, deciding this wasn't a good idea. Well, he'll let her decide what is worse. His real form, or this fake on. Fuwa took off he helmet, and the illusion was dropped.

His head was horse-like, much different from other, pony head styles. He had a deer antler on the right, a blue goat horn on the left, one long fang sticking out from under his lip, different-sized pupils, a snake tongue, a goat beard, and white bushy eyebrows. He had the right arm of a lion, the left claw of an eagle, the right leg of a lizard, and the left leg of a goat. In addition, he had two very large wings, a bat's right wing, a Pegasus left wing. He also a horse's mane black mane, and dragon-like snake's tail with a white tail tuft. The shape of his body resembles that of a snake. Discord held a resemblance to a Drapanese dragon, or Lung Dragon, a creature often depicted with a serpentine body, facial hair, feline claws, and antlers.

But his armour changed as well. the helmet had a kind of spell on it, with it willingly taken off, the spell can be undone. Covering the back of his neck were golden plates that went along his back and stopped halfway up his red tail. The gold plates also went over the sides of his lion arm, his eagle arm and the front of the lizard leg and goat leg. He had darker gold shoulder pads that ended in points, which also went over the sides of his legs. His underbelly, Undertail, the rest of his arms and legs were covered in a jungle green like material. It looked soft but was actually from a special tee in the Draco Dimension that was stronger than mithril. Only for the very best guard.

Attached to his back was a golden halberd, a bow and oddly no pouch for arrows. Two parts of the halberd pole were made of gold, the middle made of obsidian. The actual blade was half of a circle that had the depiction of the sun on it and had a pointed spear head that was separate to the blade. Like an axe attacked to a spear. his bow was, strange. the string was made from pure light, and it looked like the bow itself could possibly break in half, the curved parts also looking rather sharp. almost like... the bow was made out of two blades?

"Uh... Hi? I'm, supposed to be watching you, apparently," said the talking petting zoo. Celestia just stared at the strange creature, never seeing something like him before. And he'd never seen an Alicorn before, so it was a first for them both "I'm Fuwa! Or, well, you could just call be Discord. It's my names translation," he shrugged. Alright he was good with cubs, but this was a completely different species! She was a herbivore at that! he snapped his fingers and some flowers appeared, which he gave to her. ponies liked flowers right?

"What in the hell are you?" she asked Fuwa. or Discord. whatever he was. she was most interested in his weapon attached to his back "And what is that?" she wanted one. she just had to have one. he pulled his weapon from his back and put it to the ground, saying it was a halberd "I want one!" a smile grew on her face, and the Draconequus didn't know what he should do now. from what he'd been told, she'd nearly gotten her sister killed because of her inability to control her emotions. and almost killed a King.

"I suppose i could show you how to use it, but i don't want to get in trouble either. first time out of the country, first time around none Drapanese ponies... first time around a demi god." Celestia was determined to learn it. she wanted to take her mind off of the events that had been going on lately, and she was afraid what they'd do to her if they decided they didn't need her. the rainbow one wanted to kill her after all. he hadn't said anything, but she'd seen the rage in his eyes. he wanted to kill her, and badly "Alright, i guess i could give you a few lessons?"

"Awesome!" the Draconequus shrugged, at least he'd started somewhere with her. no way in Tartarus was he letting a filly actually hold a halberd, he didn't even think ponies had the magic to do that. out of everything he expected her to like the bow, but it seems not "So, when can i learn how to swing that thing around?" she almost bounced at the prospect of learning something new. having something to take her mind off of everything was extremely needed, and the Draconequus would be happy to help her in her endeavour.

"Well, we're going to have to use sticks first, you could hurt yourself with this thing and i happen to like my head being on my shoulders." it wasn't an actual penalty, at least he assumed it wasn't, first time guarding a none Draconequus royal. well, by that he meant guarding something that isn't a Draconequus. this is going to be a long ass day.


"I see..." Noche said as he looked the Guard Captain up and down. this was an adult, definitely different from the bunch of cubs he'd brought in. those five were kids, it was annoying how young these were yet they were somehow the best. the one Celestia was with was apparently good with children, but he highly doubted that he'd get very far with her "Does the Great Sakura of Chess Cheating want to send some of his own guards as well?"

"Not that i'm aware of, King of the Mountain," Konran said, looking at the stallion who glared at the drake back. inwardly Konran smiled, knowing the Doragon No Uma Emperor liked to cheat at games. he was a masterful tactician, but when it came to playing just for fun, he always cheated. nice for the King to call him out on it "Do tell me of the Abyssitire and Ahuizotl you wanted Roki and Ihō to guard, i haven't heard anything from Abyssinia as of late... and for two Abyssinian's to travel all the way to Shadowlogia for help when Drapan is much closer, it is suspicious."

Konran was a wonderous sight to behold when it came to Draconeqi. His head was pony like, though with little fangs pointing from under his lip it was more of a white Umbrum head. He had two golden antlers that curved beautifully, and two smaller horns that pointed backwards. His mane was long, black like charcoal, and against the wind it seemed it was ethereal, much like an Alicorn’s. His eyes were a lustrous emerald sheen that stood out against his white coat. Around his neck was a golden band that had emerald spheres imbedded inside of it going in the patter of big, small, big and small all around it. The fur above the band and on his chest was much fluffier than the rest of his body and had signs of a mixture of feathers in there as well. He was a Titan Tail, much like his King, meaning he was wingless as they didn’t need wings, their levitation skills were only matched by other Titan Tail’s. Starting on the middle of his back were platinum scales with gold rims that went up his back, reaching his shoulders and covering his arms up until his elbows. His two front legs belonged to a lizard, the scales a wondrous grey that had a black stripe on the middle of the forearm and two on each hand that had four talons with a thumb. On the left arm were two golden bands that had emerald jewels embedded in them. At the end of his long body were two equine legs with golden flawless hooves at the bottom. On his thighs were three gold stripes, and on his hind legs above his hooves were two more stripes. His tail was long and was a silvery grey instead of the common ruby. It was dark against his back end, but slowly became lighter and lighter. He had black hair that started on the third of his tail that went down to the tip, flowing like his mane. he had another golden band with emeralds in it on the upper third after his tail hair started, making it look as if the black made way for the gold. Behind the band were two darker grey stripes and after it were four that got smaller the closer it got to the tail tip, like his arms. Finally, on the back of his tail where it sprouted from his pure white body, was a golden piece strapped on by leather, a place of gold with, you guessed it, emerald. He also had emerald embedded in his deer antlers now that Noche noticed.

Konran was Drapanese for Disarray, the complete opposite when you got to look at him. if he swung that way, Noche was sure he'd go for that. shame really.

"The Abyssitre is called Catrina, a very silver tongued feline. the Ahuizotl for whatever reason wants to be called Ahuizotl," Noche sighed, rolling his eyes at the stupidity "Yes, it would be as retarded as you being called Draconequus." it was funny, because Konran actually knew someone who had such unimaginative parents to name their cub Draconequus... it was ridiculous, yet hilarious "Something isn't right about them. the Ahuizotl is a fool, my guards even have fun playing with his naivety... but Catrina. i don't know, but suddenly my son has gotten a fever. it happened very suddenly, and just to happened to have happened when that witch came..." Konran nodded, understanding Noche De Neón's concerns. Abyssitire were natural concats, good liars and VERY good with potions. rivalled only by the Zebra of Zebrabwe... these days they were just normal citizens, but they did have the capability to do the things he'd just listed in his head.

"Alright, Kanashimi will be by his side at all times. he's gifted with healing magic, so whatever this fever is, it'll be held back by his abilities. your son may remain sick until we know what has caused this affliction, but he'll stay alive... it's best we don't reveal that we're onto them. just, act like a very worried father, like you already are." he nodded, Konran sighing at the stallions sad eyes. he really cared for his son, and now Konran thanked his King for sending them here. they needed help, especially thanks to the rogue chaos energy and this whole debacle...


Catrina eyed the very large Umbrum King in his bed from a mirror she had brought with her. she smiled, watching silently. it was a shame the Draconeqi sent such a skilled healer, but it mattered little, her work was done. they had no evidence to say anything was her doing, they could only assume because she was from Abyssinia. it was true they were in trouble, but Catrina had her own goal.

Ahuizotl was doing good work as well. he pretended to be a fool to get close with the guard around the area, and so far it was working. she knew a lot of the layout of the castle, and she knew much of their schedules. it was mostly coming to how the master predicted. but Catrina was going to play out a little longer than planned, for there was the potential to get a certain little filly on their side.


Author's Note

Yes, he is where Celestia learnt to use a Halberd. I wonder how painful it'd be to have all of your friends, to have all of your family completely forget you? for your memory to be erased from existence and become a god? your influence is still around, but nobody remembers you. wow. that's far more depressing than i intended it to be fuckin' hell!

And yes, i am a nut for description.
