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.

Another set of vines began to grow, creating a seat for the dark lord. He laid his legs up on the table after taking a cup for himself.

"Was I not clear enough before? I suppose the simplest ways are the best... That world has had you for long enough. I want you all to myself."

She took a shuddering breath, her heart racing in her chest. "B-But why...? Wh-Why me?"

"Oh, I could give you a million and one reasons." He waved a hand, popping an actual list into his hand that ran down onto the floor.

"Aside from your graceful beauty - bravo, by the way - you have a generous personality, a gorgeous voice, a loving heart, bravery, kindness, honesty, loyalty - your tea is getting cold - a remarkable way with all living creatures..."

She took in a breath as he continued listing the reasons, not even thinking about the teacup still in her hands. While she normally would have been flattered that someone thought so much of her, coupled with how he had just kidnapped her simply made the whole thing...disturbing.

"H...H-How long have you been watching me...?"

With the sun long gone now, the earthly walls around them began to crumble. The creature took a long drink of tea as their new location was revealed - a bizarre place where the sky was multiple colors, where plants and trees floating like clouds, and sounds from all living and nonliving things echoed back and forth, despite not being able to see where they came from. A place of supreme chaos.

"I don't like to keep track of time." He admitted. "So... let's say a year. Yes, I like the sound of that, three hundred and sixty five days of devotion."

She took in a breath as the world changed around them, becoming topsy-turvy and strange. It could almost be beautiful if she wasn't so scared.

"A-Are you...planning on keeping me here forever?"

The list had begun to evaporate, the written words wiggling away like worms. "Yes, unless I get bored of you... which I sincerely doubt would ever happen."

With that, he suddenly kicked off into a standing position, knocking over several cups and trays so he could dramatically gesture. "Welcome to my home... for am I Lord Discord, master of chaos!"

She couldn't help flinching back a bit as everything clattered to the ground. But she drew in a breath as he introduced himself.

Discord...she had heard of that name. Twilight had told them stories from Princess Celestia about the lord of Chaos, and the trouble he could cause in the world. How he was capable of terrible things if it suited his mood.

And as much as she desperately wanted to be home...what would happen if she continued to resist him? Clearly he had no regard for her feelings anyway, but if she kept fighting...would it anger him? What would he do then? Would he take it out on the rest of the world? On her friends?

...She couldn't take that chance.

"I-I...I-I am...honored to be here, Lord Discord," she replied quietly.

Upon hearing that, Discord's eyes almost seemed to pop out of his skull. He then threw himself on the table, sending even more broken pieces flying, as he grasped her hand - and revealed a long, lizard-like tail flopping out of his robe. "Oooh, how I've longed to hear that!" He held onto her hands tightly, but not enough to cause pain.

"Come, tell me what you want! Anything, you can have it!" Except for her freedom, naturally. "I know you're a fan of flowers," and in seconds flowers with impossible colors grew around her. "Or how about some creatures to befriend?" as a six-eyed deer laid its head on her shoulder. "How about a new dress?" He held his fingers, ready to snap...

She gasped, her body tensing a bit as he took her hand. Her mind still reeling a bit with everything happening so fast, she barely had time to process what he was saying. She did manage to stop him from snapping up a new dress for her.

"A-Actually...um...M-Maybe you could...have the vines let me go?" She gestured to the vines still wrapped around her, holding her down. "I-I promise I won't run, but...i-it would be easier to...appreciate your home if I could...move around a bit."

Discord blinked once, then looked down. "Oh, yes. My manners are absolutely atrocious." This required two fingers to snap - the vines shriveled up and down, shrinking down into the ground lifelessly.

She breathed a sigh, gently petting the six-eyed deer's head before rising to her feet.

"Thank you..."

Rubbing her wrists a bit, she took a moment to glance around, finally taking in more of the strange world around her.

This place...could she really be happy here?

"S-So...what should we, um...do now?"

"Celebrate, I say!" He clapped his hands, finally getting off the table. "An endless party to welcome your arrival! All singing, all dancing, all happiness!" Where was that music coming from? Who knew. But all the inanimate objects had been to move around.

"Oh, happy day! I've never felt so joyful in all my life... Seriously, never." He then cupped his chin, looking around. "In fact, this is the first time someone else has ever come here, in all my thousands of years."

She turned to him again, looking at him in surprise.

"Really? No one's ever visited you...ever?"

That was...really sad.

"Oh, goodness no. I mean, there's a good population of the world that doesn't know that I exist." He pointed and pushed into his own big cheeks. "At times, I've doubted that I exist! Maybe this is all on e big hallucination I dreamed up after losing what little marbles I had."

Oh, wasn't that a good idea? He jotted it down on his hand. "On to-do list, play marbles."

Her frown deepening, she turned to fully face him.

"But doesn't that get...lonely?"

She couldn't imagine what she would do without her friends.

He continued to poke and pull at his face, twisting it into different shapes and expressions.

"Lonely? No, how could I ever get lonely? I am Discord, loneliness is for lonely people! Who could ever be as amazing as I am? No one, that's who. My standards are very high."

Possibly denying it, possibly insane, who knew?

"...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?"
