A Cold And Broken Hallelujah - MLP One ShotDiscord knew this meeting was not going to be a good one. Celestia had summoned him to the farthest corner of the Canterlot gardens and he was to come on foot from the entrance. This was only the beginning of his punishment and deep down, he knew it. What he did not know was that somepony was following him. He walked through the gardens, head hung low like a heavy weight at the end of his long neck; shoulders slumped as though carrying a burden too heavy for even the strength of a Draconequus; mismatched wings folded tensely against his back. He tried to ignore the statues scattered throughout the garden as he passed by them, but each one was meant to be a torturous reminder. This was why Celestia had summoned him here and commanded that he come on foot. Teleporting would have been a far easier means to travel to this meeting for many reasons. While making his journey, he found himself reflecting on a dream he had experienced only last night. It had shaken him to his core a
The Wife of the Old Draconequus Chapter 3 Part 2When she opened her eyes, Fluttershy found herself in the most unique yet splendid looking tea parlor she’d ever seen. Far more beautiful than her aunt’s tea parlor or any she’d visited thanks to her aunt’s social inner circle.The room was rounded but spacious, made up entirely of moss, vines, ivy, plants, and all kinds of shrubbery. It was like being in a bright, secret garden cove. There were windows all around, leaving no corner in the room without sunlight. Everything was warm, green, and inviting. It felt like being in a mystical greenhouse, but without the humidity. And, as if to further add to its beauty, Fluttershy could see through the windows, allowing the lovely countryside to be visible to all within the room.Strangely enough, none of the furniture was floating like in the main lobby. In fact, neither Fluttershy, Angel, Autumn, nor Discord weren’t even defying gravity in this space either. Of course, Flutt
The Wife of the Old Draconequus Chapter 3 Part 1“Everything in life is unusual until you get accustomed to it.”L. Frank Baum, The Marvelous Land of OzMay Chaotic Showers Bring About Beautiful Butterflies Part 3Before Fluttershy could tell Discord her name or even properly process that the monster from last night was standing before her, Discord offered his gloved hand to her and recited, “How do you do?”“Oh, um, h-how do you do,” She politely but hesitantly responded, lightly taking his hand into her locked grip.Discord then surprised her by jerking her chained hands towards him, which earned a deep hiss and snarl from Angel. But, Discord ignored this and placed the tip of his bone muzzle on top of Fluttershy’s left hand.She immediately blushed at this gesture because it made her think, “Is this... is this his way of kissing my hand?”The cold touch sent shivers up Fluttershy’s spine, which contrasted greatly w
The Wife of The Old Draconequus Chapter 2 Part 2“You can open your eyes now my dear, we’re here.”Fluttershy opened one eye at a time. It took her a moment to adjust to the sunlight, but once she did, she was met with the most beautiful sight they had ever seen.She was standing out in a vast, wondrous green field. From where they stood, they were able to look out and see a long but low stone wall following along a dirt country road, leading to a tan cottage.The cottage’s roof was completed covered by plentiful moss, grass, bushes, branches, and all kinds of foliage. In truth, the abode looked more like a magical tree home than a traditional cottage. It was seemingly protected by a border of a white picket fence, and a quaint but naturally beautiful garden surrounding it from all sides. The garden was filled with roses, peonies, daisies, pansies, and so many more types of flora. There was even a part of the garden that was solely dedicated to growing vegetables and it was
