Author's Note

Welcome to the start of the backstory of my ponysona/draconequussona. I've been wanting to do this for awhile and had this little headcanon in the back of my head for quite some time now. Let me know how you feel about the headcanon of draconequus that I developed. I haven't had much opinions about it and I'm curious if others think it could work potentially in Equestria.

Anyways, there will be more to this story of course. The next few chapters focus more on Flusk now rather than the history between draconequus and ponies. Enjoy!

Oh also, shout out to pizzalord since his OC Drizzle Dots is being used in this fanfic. Check him out! x3

Chapter 1: Ebony's Destruction

“Are you all good here? I’ll just be gone for a little bit. I need to pick up some groceries.” Drizzle said.

“Mhm, I’ll be fine.” Flusk nodded.

The blue unicorn, Drizzle Dots levitated his wallet to himself off the table before trotting towards the door. Upon doing so, a white and brown husky with bright blue eyes came running down from the corner of the room and began running around Drizzle, wagging her long fluffy tail in excitement.

“Hi, Luna! Awww, who’s a good doggy!”

The excited husky rolled over onto her back as Drizzle rubbed her belly. Luna’s tongue lolled out of her mouth as the dog continued to wag her tail furiously. His dog particularly enjoyed belly rubs and always enjoyed being given affection by her owner. Flusk chuckled a bit behind her hoof as she watched him pet her a little bit longer before stopping.

“Alright, alright, I have to go now. But, I’ll bring home a treat for you!” Drizzle said as he grinned and booped his dog on the nose.

Luna barked and licked her mouth in response. It seemed she understood exactly what he was telling her oddly enough.

Drizzle looked up at Flusk again. “I doubt she’ll do too much while I’m gone but make sure you keep an eye on her. She’s a bit of a troublemaker when she wants to be.”

Flusk nodded and smiled as her friend exited the home, leaving her and Drizzle’s husky alone in silence.

Flusk had been visiting Drizzle for the day to hang out and chat like they normally did on a regular basis. Although, upon looking for snacks for the two to enjoy, the stallion had realized it was his day to go grocery shopping and completely forgot before inviting Flusk over. So now, instead of having a peaceful afternoon with her best friend, she was dog sitting instead. Not that she minded too much. Luna was a rather well behaved dog when she wasn’t running around and full of energy. Which, for huskies, they were always ready to run a marathon.

Flusk looked downward and saw Luna looking up at her expectantly. “What, is a pony not allowed to think to herself in silence?”

Luna cocked her head to the side in confusion, seeming to not understand anything that Flusk just said. Flusk only facehoofed and rolled her eyes as she gave up on trying to get Luna to understand her.

She reclined in her seat and rested her head behind her, closing her eyes. However, her silence was once again interrupted when she heard the squeaking of a toy invading her ears. She opened her eyes once again and saw Luna with a squeaky toy in her mouth. The squeaky toy resembled a small squirrel. Flusk remembered Drizzle saying that this toy in particular was Luna’s favorite to play with.

“Ah, so you wanted to play, huh?”

Luna squeaked the toy and wagged her tail happily.

“Alright, but not for too long. I feel a bit tired today.”

Flusk’s horn glowed a purple aura as the squeaky squirrel was levitated out of Luna’s mouth. Luna backed up and readied herself to catch the toy as Flusk rose it high in the air. She flung the toy with her magic as the husky launched herself off her back legs and caught the toy right in her mouth.

“Nice catch!”

Luna ran up to Flusk with a bit of a proud look on her face as Flusk took the toy from her and threw it again. This continued on for a little while more as Flusk’s throws started to become a little less far each time. The unicorn seemed to be getting tired as she eventually made her last throw and Luna caught it once again.

“AGH!” Flusk screamed out suddenly.

Luna jumped, startled by her scream as Flusk pressed her hoof into her forehead, her eyes squeezing shut. The husky looked at her worriedly as she opened her eyes again. Her purple eyes almost looked a little hazy as she carefully climbed off the chair and shakily attempted to keep her balance on her hooves. Carefully taking one step at a time, Flusk slowly made her way towards the nearest mirror and leaned herself against a small table.

“W-Why is this happening right now..This isn’t a good time at all..” Flusk mumbled to herself.

Luna slowly walked up to Flusk and sat down. She was close to her but at a far enough distance that in case something happened, she’d be able to run away.

“P-Please..Stop..”

Flusk lowered her head and shut her eyes as she took deep breaths, trying to calm herself. She felt uneasy and like she was going to lose her balance if she didn’t have herself leaned against the table.

“Just for one moment..Only for a moment..He’s not here and it’ll only be just a moment..”

A bright light enveloped Flusk suddenly as Luna barked and backed away from her. Her once pony form started to transform and change as the giant figure started to get increasingly large. This only urged Luna to bark more and back away as a large tail swung near the dog’s legs. Two different horns were the last to form on the strange creature’s head as the bright light faded, revealing the new form of Flusk.

She knew if somepony had seen her right now, they would have screamed at her and called her a monster. She would have too. Her head was almost to the ceiling now as she had a long neck and long fluffy blue chest fur. She also had two mismatched wings now, mismatched limbs, and a rather noodly like body. Her face even seemed to have changed as she had a deer muzzle now where she once had a pony muzzle.

Luna didn’t seem like much of a fan of her new form as the dog barked continuously at the strange creature. Flusk folded her new floppy ears as she looked around nervously, worried that Luna’s barking was going to catch the attention of somepony. She stretched her panther paw out as her purple magic glowed around it and quieted the dog. It was as if she had stolen Luna’s bark as no noise came out of her throat when she attempted to bark.

“Sorry, I can’t have you getting me caught. I’ll fix it later.”

At this point, the husky chose to just lie on the ground and look up at the creature with annoyance since there wasn’t much else she could do. Flusk however was looking at herself in the mirror. She seemed rather disgusted or terrified of her reflection as she avoided making too much eye contact with herself and focused on her task at hoof..Claw?

She brought her two paws together and carefully balanced herself on her hindlegs, quite like how Discord walked on his own hindlegs. Flusk however struggled a bit since she was so used to being on four limbs all the time. Her whole body was enveloped in the same sparkly purple aura as she closed her eyes. It seemed the creature was meditating in some way as she barely made any movement except for the small flick of her dragon tail.

The sound of a door opening immediately awoke her from her meditation however as her worst nightmare was about to become true.

“Hey, Flusk! I’m back! I got some snacks and even a pizza. Ooo, and don’t forget Luna’s-...”

The groceries banged to the floor as Drizzle’s pupils shrunk and his jaw fell open. He couldn’t believe what he saw standing in his living room.

“D-Drizzle! It’s not what it looks like..U-Uh..Your dreaming!” She smiled sheepishly.

Drizzle suddenly pulled out a gun from behind his couch and aimed it for Flusk. She shrunk into herself and shielded her face with her paws.

“Please, don’t shoot!” She yelled.

“Who are you and what are you doing in my house?!”

“I’m Flusk you idiot! Can’t you tell by my voice?!”

“What?..But you’re-”

“Yes, I’m not a pony. We can all clearly see that! I can explain but I’m not going to do so when I’m about to be shot!”

Drizzle stared down at his gun and then the terrified creature in his living room. He lowered his gun and set it aside as Flusk relaxed, taking her paws away from her face.

“So..Um..Magic spell gone wrong?..” Drizzle asked, trying not to be intimidated by the fact she was a rather large creature now that easily towered over him.

“No..I’m supposed to look like this. This is me.” Flusk looked down sadly.

“What do you mean?..You’re a pony. You’ve always been a pony.”

“No, I’m not. I wish I was. That’s why I’m always in a pony form when I’m around others. I hate looking like this.”

“But..Wait..What?..”

Drizzle seemed rather confused and couldn’t believe what he was hearing. For years, he had been friends with Flusk and this had never happened. Neither did she ever tell him she wasn’t a pony. This had to be some sort of prank.

“This is just some stupid prank, huh? You do realize I almost shot you. This isn’t a funny prank.”

Flusk sighed. “Look, just sit down on the couch. I’ll explain everything..I may as well since you already know now.”

Drizzle trotted over to the couch and sat down. However, Flusk sat on the ground in front of him considering she was rather tall now and possibly even more heavy. She didn’t want to accidentally break his couch with her weight. He seemed rather uncomfortable with her being close to him anyways.

“So..If you didn’t notice by now, I’m a creature called a Draconequus. I’m what Discord is. You know, that old guy who threw Equestria into chaos a long time ago?”

“I mean..I figured that out but..Discord is the only draconequus. How is there more of him?”

“There’s always been more of him. Ponies just never knew. We’ve lived among you all for centuries.”

A few years after the three tribes of ponies, unicorn, pegasi and earth pony joined together as one and the cold winters came to an end, Equestria was finally able to settle and regrow their crops. With the settling of the weather, more animals and creatures also settled down. Equestria was known for its great weather conditions including great soil for plant growth. This made it a hot spot for new species..Including hybrid creatures of many different animals.

Ponies were unaware of many different species living around them at the time and as spring drew closer, a new species called draconequus also drew closer to the small village which in the future would become Ponyville.

After living closer to the ponies for a little while, the draconequi sent one of their kind to meet the ponies. Upon entering, ponies were terrified of the strange creature and most ran off screaming upon seeing the odd thing enter their village. However, the leader of the village decided to speak with the draconequus and see why they were here.

The draconequus had told the leader of the village that they and their kind had been observing them and their land. They asked if they too could stay on the land by providing a resource to them that would prove quite useful. The leader asked what they would like to provide in exchange for staying on their land with them and the draconequus offered their magic. By staying on their land, the draconequus would assist the ponies with their magic and help them thrive. The leader agreed and let the draconequus live with them in their village.

At first, ponies were rather uneasy by having hybrid creatures on their land that they had never seen before. But after a bit of time, they found living on the land much easier with the assistance of their magic and accepted them. Some even accepted them even more by growing families with them and having offsprings of both pony and draconequus heritage.

However, as the history of draconequus and pony living in peace went by, so did generations of ponies. Ponies did not live as long as draconequus and the leader of the village soon died as well. However, the leader was replaced with the next pony in line, his daughter Ebony Rain.

Ebony was a rather secretive pony and wasn’t very well known until her father, the leader of the village passed away and she became the new leader. From then on, Ebony was known as a pony not very fond of draconequus and often seemed to have a bit of an attitude with them. This surprised other ponies since draconequus had provided them with so much to live and Ebony seemed to take it all for granted.

However, ponies soon were given their answers on why. Over the course of time, Ebony silently slipped into conversations the idea of using draconequus to their advantage rather than giving them the equality they deserved. In secret, she developed devices that could steal magic and allow ponies to manipulate draconequus magic. She even gained followers that thought her ideas were brilliant while few other ponies disagreed with such a horrible idea.

Eventually, Ebony allowed her followers to use her inventions on draconequus and they were quite successful. This led to a lot of kidnappings of draconequus which made them quite uneasy about staying in the village. It wasn’t long before draconequus fled the village and even a few ponies as well since they didn’t agree with what Ebony was doing and some wanted to stay with their draconequus lovers.

Some draconequus fled to live back in their old lands while other draconequus decided to stay in the village..However, they didn’t stay as their old selves. They proceeded to give up their draconequus forms and turn into ponies as well so they could safely live in the village. And as time went on, they taught their kin to transform and learn normal pony behavior. It became a draconequus tradition.

However, the cost of this being that if a draconequus didn’t desire to be a pony or live in the village, they would be separated from their family. And if ponies found out about them, they would be in serious trouble. So, they kept it quiet and let ponies believe that their species had gone extinct and Discord, the only draconequus who didn’t follow their rules, was assumed to be the only one left.

“Wait, wait, wait..Hold on a second.” Drizzle interrupted Flusk’s story.

“Yes?” Flusk asked.

“You’re telling me..That there are ponies living among us that aren’t actually ponies?”

“Yes, however you wouldn’t know that because draconequus like me were raised in families where the day you’re born, you’re taught to transform. Of course, you can’t do it without assistance first, but learning to use your pony form is absolutely crucial in living in pony society.”

“And..Ponies really changed your species history because..They wanted your guys power?”

“Yes..Draconequus were considered very valuable to ponies. Our magic can be used to quicken their crop growth, make them more powerful, and even preserve their youth. It’s why we live for so long. It’s also why I think Ebony still lives..” Flusk furrowed her brow.

“Wait..How old are you? Last I remembered, you told me you were..Twenty three?..I don’t know.”

“I’m actually six thousand, three hundred sixty seven years old. In draconequus years, I’m considered a young adult so I suppose I’m still around the same age as your pony years.”

Drizzle’s mouth dropped as Flusk laughed at his reaction. She was expecting this from a creature who barely even lived on this planet for very long.

“That’s not fair..You’re older than me..” Drizzle pouted.

“To be honest, age doesn’t really define someone’s maturity. I’d say you’re still older than me mentally.”

“So..If you’ve lived this long..Does that mean you lived during the time of when ponies went after draconequus?”

“Well..I was quite young at the time that I only have a few memories..Memories I never forgot.”
