Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Crys walked up to a cottage on the edge of the forest and knocked on the front door.

"Oh, Hello Crys why are you here?"

"Hi, I just came to ask where I could find some weird creatures?" Crys asked.

Fluttershy immediately looked at the alicorn amulet, attached to a black cape that Crys always wore. "Oh, I have no idea where to find those." Fluttershy said slamming the door in his face.

Crys stood there in shock for a while thinking 'did Fluttershy just slam the door on me?' He started to walk away, then he heard a roar so loud it shook the trees behind Fluttershy's cottage. He turned and ran back to her cottage, as soon as he got there he knocked on the front door. She didn't answer, he turned once again and bucked the door open. He looked around her cottage and nothing seemed to be out of place. He decided to start searching the house starting with her room, as soon as he figured out where that was. After that he looked in her kitchen and noticed an open door that led toward the forest. He decided to go out and follow the barely visible path,'looks like nopony has walked on this path for a long time,Fluttershy's a pegasus, but even if she was attacked there was no sign of struggle in the house. Even if she went quietly they both had to fly.' His focus was broken by another roar, it sounded close. Remembering why he was out there in the first place he started to run.

The path took him to a clearing in the forest, then he saw a huge creature. It had the body of a lion, the tail of a scorpion, the wings and horns could've belonged to anything. His face lit up with enjoyment as he gasped

"Kitty!" he walked up to the beast as it looked at him, and started to give it rub it's stomach, as it lay serenely on the forest floor . "Aren't you just a pretty kitty." In a baby voice. As rustling bushes behind him startled the creature.

"Oh my, Crys why are you here?" Fluttershy asked.

"Hey, I thought you didn't know where weird creatures were?" Crys said getting off the ground and dusting off his amulet.

"Oh, umm... I might have lied a little about the animals." she said avoiding eye contact with Crys.

"Why?"

"Well since you can travel dimentions, I thought that you might have come to send them back to tartarus."

"That's ridiculous, why would I do that? I love animals, the weirder the better."

"Oh, I didn't realize you loved animals."

"Back to my first question, why would I send them to tatarus?"

"Well Celestia ordered for them to be put there beause they're dangerous, but I couldn't just let them sit there."

"That still doesn't answer my question."

"Well, I kind of wasn't supposed to take them out of tartarus."

Crys facehoofed,"My question was, why would I send him back to tartarus."

"Oh, well I thought that Twilight somehow found out that I took them and she sent you to send them back. I'm pretty sure what I did could get me thrown in dungeon."

"Well it's not exactly a crime because Celestia never expected for anypony to be able to get into tartarus, much less for somepony to get out

Suddenly there was a flash of light as the draconequus Discord appeared holding a thick book in his claws,"Oh, well if it isn't Crystal Hoof. You know I was was just doing a bit of light reading," the book started glowing," and I stumbled upon this peculiar story, The Dimensional Prince. It describes you in great detail. Here take a lo-" He then dropped the thick book on Crys's head, as he rushed over to greet Fluttershy.

Before Discord could get a word out, Crys said with an annoyed expression on his face,"I think you dropped your book. Also, who are you?"

"Umm... I'm Discord, remember I told everypony your deepest, darkest secret. That you can travel through dimensions."

"That's not my deepest, darkest secret."

"Oh, really then, what is your Deepest... Darkest... Secret?" Discord said grinning and getting in Crys's face.

"If I told you it wouldn't be a secret." Crys said not backing down, small sparks coming from his mane and tail.

Fluttershy didn't like the situation at all and in attempt to keep it from getting worse she spoke up,"Stop it, the both of you. Discord it's not polite to keep pestering somepony about their secrets. And Crys I'm sure Discord didn't mean to drop the book on your head."

Crys looked up at the sky,"I gotta get going, I asked Rarity if I could check out the suits at her shop."

"Why?" Fluttershy asked

"Pinkie's been following me around in a bush all week long. I asked Twilight why she would be doing that, and Twilight said that Pinkie's probably planning a welcome party."

"How did you know Pinkie's been following you around?" Fluttershy asked looking confused.

"Let's just say I'm good with disguises." looking a bit nervous. Without a word he left.


Author's Note

Wait, Chris knew Pinkie was following him around. Aso, less importantly, what's up with Discord's book?
