Book 1: Foundation of Equestria
Saga 1, To be a Princess: Barely Amusing
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe school was as dull as always. She managed to learn some things, but it bored her. Her guard was banned from being inside of the building thanks to her snooty teacher, so everything was just dull. The only fun part were the ponies she talked to, and the Hippogriff Novo she brought with her. She too wasn't allowed inside, which really sucked. Celestia kept thinking to what her father said, she wanted to feel his touch, hear his voice, but all she had was the memory. He wanted her to be happy, going across space and time to do so.
Outside the building, Discord watched the chicks growing uneasiness. Due to the storms, Fayard was unable to come and collect his daughter. Despite what Discord's fellow guards were doing, the storms were getting worse and worse. It worried him really. Novo looked up at the being in armour, poking the metal. It seemed really tough, and it was really shiny. He was a funny fella, even if he scared her a little. She wondered if she could get a guard like him someday?
"Hey, thing!" shouted some stranger. Discord looked over, seeing a stallion unicorn. He was dark blue, had a light mane, and had blue eyes. Little too much blue there. He was wearing leather made of all kinds of animals, likely a monster hunter, somehow. This was the first, but not the last hunter he'd come across. Draconequus bones were pretty much gold, so they were valuable. Tell someone you've got a golden skeleton, and you'll know who they are. If they try to kill you, they're greedy. If not then they aren't as greedy.
"Kinda busy!" he answered, his red tail curling around the princess. Discord was able to handle himself, he wasn't as physically strong as the others, but he was pretty good at close combat. If he included his weapons, then the agility really was an unfair advantage. The unicorn was still there "Oh bloody hell... fine, i'll play this stupid game, only so that you go away, alright?" the unicorn nodded, for whatever reason confident he could do something "Since it would be unfair, i'm not gonna use magic against ya."
"I will defeat you!" the unicorn shouted, pulling a sword out of his sheath and running towards the barely amused Draconequus. he stepped out of the way, dodging the unicorns attacked. he dodged, and dodged, and dodged, making a fool of the unicorn "I an Hellsing and i will defeat you, monster!" he accidentally said an and not am, that was a little amusing. Discord got bored rather quickly, so he grabbed the stupid equine be the horn and picked him up, a very bored look on his face.
"Your job is hunting monsters, my job is protecting a princess. how about you bugger off, and we can both do our jobs without any trouble?" he dropped the unicorn on the ground, who didn't seem to know what to do. he tried hitting the Draconequus with the sword, but against his armour it barely did much but leave a mark he could easily wash off. the unicorn saw he was out leagued and ran off, leaving Discord and Novo to watch the dust kick off. the chick climbed out of the Draconequus' tail, standing up to him with a brow raised "What?"
"You din't really do that much against him, even when he attacked you?"
"Honey i've been in a lot of fights, i've dealt with dragons, lichs, necromancers and even a purple shoggoth. not to mention i had to get involved in a civil war once... that pony is nothing to me, the only amusing part was him accidentally saying an and not am." he needed a break for these ponies, they were beyond foolish.
Novo hummed to herself, curious. Celestia was learning how to use a halberd from him, why couldn't she? yeah, she could show to her father she didn't need to marry some noble, and that she could protect herself! the chick wasn't going to be some coward, no, she would be strong, like a warrior! the chick stood next to him, trying to imitate the way he sat, making him look like a realistic statue. he rolled his eyes, already sensing what she was going to ask later... might as well set up a small camp of these nutters.
