Fluttershy & Discord - Hades & Persephone

One would think that being immortal meant immortal patience as well. But this was not the case, nor would it even be again, now that she'd made an unknowing yet last impact upon his dark soul. He had to have her, and had to have her now, before any other unworthy wretch finally realized her grace and beauty. Her opinion never factored into his desires.

Now he was watching her in the sunlight, his claws digging into the trees as he hid in the shadows. If he merely appeared, he'd scare her off, so he needed to lure her into his grasp. But by all of his stalking, he knew her well enough to guess what would serve as a distraction.

With one snap of his figured, two darling, adorable little butterflies began to float about, making their way towards the damsel soon to be in distress.

"...I see."

Maybe her worry had been misplaced after all.

"Maybe you could, um...show me around? If I'm going to be here...a while."

The thought still twisted her heart a bit, but if she could believe it would help, she could just get through it.

He finally stopped playing with his face and began to walk forward, though he still made big, wild gestures with every word. "My first time showing someone around... This will be interesting! After all, this place is constantly changing, so what can I show? It is connected to I, and I to it, as one being. I can create anything I desire, or anything you desire."

She shrank back a bit as he moved about, even as she followed behind him.

"R-Really...? So this world is...part of you?"

"Oh yes." A brief pause. "I think so, anyway. You must understand, anything I know about this place or myself is my own guess. It's not exactly like I had mama discord and papa discord come down from above to explain things." He turned around, jumping around his tail. "One day, I merely was! Isn't that exciting?"

She looked up again at him, the familiar worry seizing her once again.

"Really? You haven't had...anyone before?"

"Well, why would I?" Denial and pride showed once more. "If no one bothered to come find me, why would I bother to come find anyone? No, there was never anyone good enough who came along. So I just watched the world pass by."

"But it just seems...kind of sad. How long was it before anyone realized you existed here?"

"Oh, who knows." He twirls his fingers, making them into little flags. "In fact, I bet there's a good chance no one knows I exist still! Why, you had no idea who I was, correct? Not that I mind, no no. Who better to give you a first impression of me than me?"

"W-Well...actually, I...have heard some stories about you. There...aren't really a lot though."

At first, there was some rapid blinks in surprise. "There are stories? Really?"

But as always his moods changed instantly, and now he was twirling her around until she was sitting on a big, fluffy couch, and Discord was propped up on a backwards chair, eyes glittering. "Tell me, tell me, tell me!"

She gave a startled sound as she was suddenly seated, surprised by the soft couch. Then she looked at him curiously.

"U-Uh...well...like I said, there aren't much...But there are a few stories about the...Lord of Chaos back home...causing trouble in the world by making things nonsensical. Almost like you reversed logic itself."

"Oh, how grand." He grinned, one long tooth sticking out. "And very true! No one came to me, but I came to the world, and I did my best to make things interesting. I don't know how you can stand that boring place, where no surprises happen, and things stay the same."

"Oh, but that's not true. There are lots of surprising things in that world, and change happens all the time. Just...not quite to that degree."

"But then what else is the point?" Discord flopped his head into Fluttershy's lap. "If you're going to do something, you should go all the way. All or nothing. That's why I brought you here instead of just saying hello. That would've been so dull!"

She gasped, tensing a bit as she looked down at him.

"Not...everyone's like that, though. I...think I really would've preferred if you'd said hello, and we got to know each other a bit better."

She certainly wouldn't be as scared of him.

"... Well. Good thing it was up to me then." He rolled off her lap, and landed on the floor, not bothering to get up. "You think I don't know I don't belong out there? It's clear, it's obvious. I can't be in that place, so I had to bring you here."

She started a bit when he fell on the ground, moving so that she could lean over and see him better.

"Well...why couldn't you?"

"Because I am Lord Discord, master of chaos!" He sprang up-right into a sitting position. "Being in that world means following those rules, and I don't follow rules... I break them! I defy them! It's my very nature. You may as well ask the sun to stop shining, or the sea to turn into chocolate!"

A head-tilt. "Which I can do, by the way."

Sitting back as he jumped up, she tilted her head a little. "But...couldn't there be a way to cause chaos without scaring or hurting people? Then I'm sure you would be able to visit our world."

Discord turned her back to her, silent. His tail flicked here and there in contemplation. "... You think it would welcome my way of being, just like that? I am not like them. I am not like anything else that exists."

She glanced up at him, her expression thoughtful.

"I think...that's why you could be welcome in our world. You're unique...and I'm sure there are lots of people who would love to learn more about you. And just because you create chaos...it doesn't mean it has to be bad, does it?"

More contemplation, more flicking. But when he turned to look at her, his eyes were narrow and untrusting. "How do I know this isn't some ruse to make sure I let you go?" Even though he wanted her deeply, even she was not above suspicion. Why would she like him anyway? Why would she want his happiness?

She fell silent again as she thought for a moment. She couldn't blame him for being suspicious, especially with how scared she had been before. But truthfully, she hadn't even thought about that.

"Well...to be honest...I would like to go home. But...how about this? If you let me go home, and you try coming with me to my world and getting to know us there...then I promise to come visit you here too."

"You... prrromise?" He rolled the word on his tongue, getting an idea.

"Well, that's fine and dandy, but words are just words. I can't trust you on that alone." Suddenly he was behind her, fingers rattling along her shoulders. "What if we make a deal?"

She hesitated a moment, not sure she liked what he was getting at.

"W-What...kind of deal?"
