Discord flew over the everfree, scanning the forest floor. It sent shivers down his spine every time he saw it, her little cottage. All her animals stood just outside the door with worried expressions on their little furry and scaly faces. And saw some of her beloved flowers wilting in the hot sun, so discord snapped his fingers and fed all her animals and watered all her plants. It was all he could do for them in this time, he knew how much they would worry, and how sad some of them would be without her.

Discord sighed, Celestia had sent him back to the scene of the crime, and told him to trace the enemies magical energy, and collect some to bring back to Celestia, her and Luna would use their abilities to search high and low for this monster that would kidnap a helpless mare.

Discord stopped when he reached the bedroom, the room seemed stuffy, like nothing living resided there to begin with, a tear welled up in his eye, but he erupted into flames remembering what he was here for. He settled his flames and took a breath before summoning a little hand mirror, it had a soft pulse going across the screen like a hospital monitor. He waved it in the area he remembered seeing the mystery colt, and the pulse quickened. He then took out a small glass bottle and set it in front of him, before snapping his fingers sending all of the colts magic energy in the room directly into the bottle. The bottle was then corked and shook before it looked as though it were filled with a sparkling yellow liquid. This room gave him the shivers, and sent chills through his brown fur, he gazed down at her bed once more, still disheveled.

Discord used his magic to float a pillow up to him, he hugged in, taking in her sweet scent, more tears were ready to fall an land on her pillow, but he stopped himself short. He put the pillow back exactly as it was, and poofed himself to the castle in front of celestia. Who happened to be in bed with a night mask on over her eyes. He wanted to stick a bowl of chocolate milk under one hoof, but he wasnt in the mood.

He summoned a cotton candy cloud that released a loud clap of thunder. Celestia woke up bolt upright in her bed "of course it would be you" she lifted her night mask

"Yup, i have what you sent me for"

"Brilliant; go take it to luna, she will know what to do" celestia then sighed and placed the mask back over her eyes and laid herself back down. Discord sighed, snapped his fingers and he was behind luna, who stood on the balcony her horn glowing, she seemed to be looking beyond. Her eyes were clouded in a pale moon color. Shining. "Luna.." her eyes returned to normal and she faced discord, her horn no longer glowing. "I have his magical imprint" he said. Her eyes narrowed and she nodded her head , she summoned the bottle from his hand and opened the cork, allowing for a small amount to flout out and touch her horn. She closed her eyes, and then opened them to reveal them to be a color of aqua green. She closed them again and opened them. Looking quite frustrated.

"Well?" grumbled discord he raised an eyebrow.

"Discord….Fluttershy is in no immediate danger…. But we need to hurry and find her before its too late" Luna looked out toward the horizon towards saddle arabia.

"Well who is it?" it was driving him mad but before he got an answer luna began to fly in the direction she had been looking. 'Saddle Arabia, is she there?' he thought, as he took flight and followed after the alicorn.

Meanwhile Fluttershy had been taken out of the cellar and lead to a small hut. She was restrained by magical rope that pulled her along, there was no need to shut her mouth, there was nopony for miles and miles. "Where are you taking me?" she asked the hooded stranger. "To my Master" a male voice. Strong and deep. "Who is your master?" she asked a new one, but this time the stranger remained quiet. He set her down inside on a green couch, " ill be back" he said as he turned and walked through a yellow door. Fluttershy stood up and looked out the window, a blue ocean just past some bushes, and a pier looked over the water for about 100 feet or so. "How pretty" she said aloud

"Im Glad you think so" a new voice startled her and she let out a high pitched squeal, and turned to face it.

A tall Unicorn stood before her, he had short Jet Black hair, an light blue coat. His cutie mark a goldenrod embroidered in jewels. And he was indeed tall, Taller than Celestia herself, his horn nearly touched the ceiling of the small hut and it scared fluttershy, she began to shake, collapsing to the ground in fornt of him. "w-W-who are you?" her soft voice even quieter with fear.

"My name is Golden Scepter, i am the prince of the Merponies." he looked down upon her and she stared up at him. But now her eyes softened

"But Merponies are only a myth...they dont really exist, besides if your a merpony why do you have all four hooves?" she mumbled.

"Really?" he asked "Then lets see for ourselves shall we?" he walked to the door, and opened it, and just before Fluttershy was going to remind him of her restraints, they disapeared in a bolt of blue light. She followed obediantly afraid to upset him. They walked together to the pier and looked over into the water. Fluttershy sat down, and looked into the beautiful water surrounding her. Golden Scepter looked to her "are you ready?" he asked. "For What?" her ears pinned behind her, concern flooded her face.

Golden Sceptor using his majic floated into the air. Bolts of lightening showed up out of nowhere in the sky above them, blue light surrounded him shining so brightly fluttershy had to squint to see him. A moment later he wasnt there anymore, Fluttershy quickly looked around for him before letting her teal eyes fall to the water where Golden Scepter was. His hair was now longer, he was in the water so fluttershy couldn't see his back hooves. He opened his golden colored eyeswhich seemed to glow and flashed a small smile, "Come on in, the water is cool" it was a peculiarly warm day, and something told fluttershy she was no longer in the country of equestria. The offer seemed kind and very apealing. Just as fluttershy was about to dip her hooves in, a loud booming voice shouted "STOP" fluttershy, jumped back about a foot from the water and looked to the sky. It was princess luna's voice and she began her desent towards fluttershy. "Fluttershy! Get away from him!" she called out her voice thick with decorum and a little bit of worry. Fluttershy ran off the pier and onto the sand as luna landed in front of her. Golden Scepters eyes had turned from a liquid gold to the color of rusting metal, he was not happy and his eyes showed it. "I would suggest you not interfer any further Princess" his horn glowed a little, a pale yellow color.

"And i would suggest finding one of your own to wed Prince" there was a strange hint of menace in her voice. Fluttershy began to shake "WED?" she "shouted", her tiny voice making barely any sound. Wait… she stopped right where she was and began to search the skies. "Where is Discord?" fluttershies voice was concerned. "Dont you worry about that fluttershy, hes watching over this encounter as we speak." luna whispered so only fluttershy could hear. "Well Well Well, Luna honstly you are the most beautiful mare in all equestria, but when you broke my heart you gave me no other real options.. So i decided…. Second prettiest would suffice." he glanced at the pegasus hiding behind Luna. This annoyed Luna somehow and she seemed even angrier. "Who broke Whos heart now? I saw you cheating on me you scoundrel! With Aquamarine no less! That trampy Princess from the Southern sea!" Fluttershy stared off as this exchange occured, and began looking between the two of them. Discord poofed out of nowhere in front of fluttershy and next to Luna, with an annoyed look on his face "hold up." Fluttershy who was half happy and half horrified discord appeared backed up a few hoof steps "not only do you two know eachother….but u were dating…..?" He looked at Luna accusingly, who held her head pridefully and glanced at discord with a slightly embarrassed look "AND WHO ARE YOU TO CALL FLUTTERSHY THE SECOND PRETTIEST" he burst into flames for a moment before hearing a small gasp behind him. The flames immediately extinguished, a sheepish grin on his face "oh um. Hi fluttershy" fluttershy took the 5 steps forward from where she was and wrapped her front hooves around him, she had a little bit of a blush on her face which she hid in his fur, he on the other hand had no place to hide his blush and looked rather embarrassed as he wrapped his arms over her a sheepish grin on his face. And holding back tears whispered in her ear "thank god ur safe"
