Discord was shocked yet again by this Pegasus. Galewing wore a smirk as Discord Simply stared trying to comprehend

his day. "Ahem yes um Galewing was it, what was that thing about the worlds destruction again." Discord asked choosing to believe the Pegasus's word. "Finally came to huh, guess you do have a bit of sanity in that head of yours."

Galewing said gruffly. Discord snorted at that comment and replied "Every genius has a touch of madness." said Discord indigently. Galewing chuckled slightly at that agreeing with that statement. "Yes about the worlds destruction, an

old enemy of mine has begun to rise once again and thanks to our last fight i can't intervene but merely choose a champion to fight in my stead. You Discord are going to be my champion and save this world and everyone in it. After all if

you choose not to than those you hold dear will suffer because of your decision." Galewing said all of this calmly and patiently waited for Discord to choose. Discord rubbed his chin with a talon before smirking and finally gave his reply

"I like the way you play Galewing, i don't have much of a choice in the matter so oh hay might as well go out with a bang right? But what happens after, no doubt Celestia and Luna will use the Elements of Harmony on me."

Discord sighed at that last part knowing that he would still be viewed as a monster by everypony. Gale wing nodded in understanding and simply said "Leave that to me, I will make sure that wont happen to MY champion of course."

Discord felt slightly better at that statement and stood a little straighter. "Now down to business, you'll need to keep the Elements of Harmony same mostly for moral support so the ponies wont panic as much. They'll need someone to lead them other than the princesses. The evil has a army i simply called "The Mangled". They are a nasty bunch made up of Demons and creatures from myths and nightmares. In a way they are nightmares. They will gladly kill anypony and anyone. I suggest that when combating them that you fight to kill."

Discord nodded with a grim look but not because of the thought of killing but the thought of these "Mangled" trying to harm his ponies. The simple thought enraged him greatly but quickly suppressed his anger. After regaining his composure Discord looked at Galewing "How long till they come?"

Galewing sighed before answering "At least a month, I have already slowed them down destroying their portals to here. The rest is up to you, but don't think i will just leave you by yourself. I will aid you as much as i can on your plight."

Discord merely nodded at the seriousness of the situation at hand slightly frowning before asking "Can i at least have allies?" Galewing thought for a moment and nodded "Aye you can but as long as they realize the importance of this war to come."

Discord acknowledged this with a grunt before again speaking up "What am i to do for the time being?"

"You will protect the Element bearers and make sure no harm comes to them. They will play a key role in this war as will a few others that i am sure you will recognize their talents and skill as well will, Good luck Discord i need to rest now but remember i will always be there for you when you need me most."

With yet another blinding flash Galewing was gone. As Discord began to rub his eyes while muttering showoff he realized that he was in the Everfree forest and sice he was close to Fluttershy's home he should check on her first. He began to make his way through the undergrowth when a thought struck him, why hadn't Celestia noticed his absence.

"I put a double with a copy of your presence in the gardens and casted a spell that hides your chaos magic so well its as if it doesn't even exist. So yes you can use your magic." replied a slightly tired Galewing in his head.

"Thank you Galewing i appreciate that very much." "No problem." was his only reply. Well than Discord though might as well make use of his power. *Snap* Discord appeared just a few feet away from Fluttershy's cottage. Discord quickly located her, she was feeding her chickens with a impatient looking white rabbit. Discord quietly looked around before spotting a tree slightly taller than the others "Excellent."

Discord quietly made his way to the tree and quickly scaled it before resting on a fairly thick branch. He had a good vantage point and was able to survey Fluttershy's cottage and her. "Might as well as get comfortable huh?" with a snap of a talon a tall cool glass of chocolate with a pink and white striped bendy straw.

He absently sipped on his drink while watching Fluttershy's activities which in truth wasn't much. All day she just would walk around her cottage tending to her animals and taking care of those that were injured. Discord yawned as Celestia lowered her sun and Luna raised her luminescent moon and her twinkling stars that shined just as brightly as the moon itself. Discord could see a light on in Fluttershy's cottage so he assumed she was still awake maybe eating dinner.

Just than Discord heard the crunch of leaves as if something was putting pressure on them. Discord immediately located the source of noise, a clump of bushes roughly about 20 feet away from her cottage. Whatever it was it seemed very hostile Discord thought as he could feel the killing intent from whatever it was.

Just as that moment a a cloud shifted against the winds letting the moon shine through into the area lighting up the area around Fluttershy's cottage. Three very large bloodthirsty looking timber wolves stepped into the clearing with a stream of saliva running over its knife like teeth. Their yellow eyes held so much killing intent. Discord felt a familiar rage well up in his chest, how dare they try to take HIS ponies life and in front of him nevertheless.

They will die and painfully too, very painfully indeed Discord thought darkly. "Fucking termite food" Discord than smiled sadistically as he had an idea on how to deal with these pests. With an audible snap vicious termites were teleported inside the timber wolves. With another pop a sound proof spell was cast over them. The wolves advanced towards the cottage slowly before stopping and than began howling silently in pain.

The largest of the trios eyes began to bleed as termites began to tear them up from the inside.

The second largest watched in terror as his limbs began to be tore up from the inside before stumps were left of his once forelimbs and blood quickly began to spray all over his comrades as he fell backwards with a silent thump.

The third was perhaps the unluckiest of the three as his stomach began to vibrate as if a beehive was lodged in his stomach. He wore a pained expression before his stomach finally ripped open from the termites excessive shredding of the stomach began to take its toll. His innards and organs began to spill mingling with his and comrades blood and stomach acid as well as insides.

The termites from all three bodies began to quickly eat what was left of the timber wolves leaving only blood, organs, bones, and stomach acid. Satisfied with his handy work Discord snapped his talon's yet again and the remains and termites vanished as if they were never there in the first place.

Discord turned his head to Fluttershy's cottage noticing that her light was now finally off. With a sigh Discord conjured up a very comfortable beanbag bed on the branch was some how wide enough for it. Discord curled up on the beanbag with a relaxing sigh and slowly closed his eyes after muttering quietly to no one in particular "Goodnight.".

Unknown to him though a quiet and slightly terrified voice was able to squeak out a timid "Goodnight." before Fluttershy to went to a fitful slumber.
