Preview: Discord's Rewrite Chapter 12

AN another little surprise. Amusingly, I don't need to binge MLP for this.

Lily smirked as she walked a respectful few paces behind the trio of immortals as they wandered Fundony, the alicorns pointing various sights and future locations out to the draconequess. "Well, stereotype or not, Earth Ponies certainly have this baking thing down," Discord remarked as he ate another olykoek. "How did you even get the flour for this?

"Well, you did give us permission...," Luna mumbled before answering. "Some ponies were already venturing to the edge of the Strangelands and managed to get some of the flour. Albeit, they won't....or can't explain how."

"I have a good idea," Discord mused with a snicker as he imagined his Willownut Trees. Some willownuts- coconut on a willow tree-were filled with milk, flour, or sugar. Others had mud, pickle juice, and the rare prize of ambrosia.

"Of course you do," Celestia remarkd fondly as they ended another section of the growing town. A much cloudier one at that.

"Don't need a tour guide to know this is the Pegasus side of town," Discord remarked, glancing up the vapor-based buildings.

"They did decide to make a few things landbound," Luna commented, motioning to several buildings across the less developed area of Fundony. "A secondary armory, a smithy, the arena-"

"We have a pony coloseum?!" Discord exclaimed with a wide grin. "Ohh, I know this'll end badly one day, but I still don't care!"

"Wisdom of the ages without the will to act on it," Celestia made a jab with a shake of her head.

"Wisdom overused pushes ignorance on others, Celestia," Discord scowled playfully.

"What does that even mean?" the white alicorn questioned with a furrowed brow.

"That in preventing others from falling at all times, you might rob them of learning how to stand back up when they do fall."

The immortals turned to Lily Frost, who smiled under Discord's approving gaze. "Did you sard wisdom into her mind, or something?" Luna asked curiously.

"Maybe?" Discord answered uncaringly. "I give it five years until Earth Ponies dominate the fights."

"Earth Ponies?" Celestia asked skeptically. "Granted, they are normally the physically stronger."

"Do you really want to bet against him?" Luna asked with mirth.

"No, no I don't," Celestia confirmed bluntly. "The arena is just for practice and sparring, or so I'm told."

"Until it isn't," Discord mused vaguely, ignoring the odd look from Celestia. 

"And really, Lily Frost, you don't have to remain behind us so much. I'm sure your Master doesn't mind his pet joining us," Luna suggested with a grin.

"I never did get that analougy. I'm all for doing things chaotically, but pets usually walk infront of their owners, not behind them," Discord mused idly as said mare sauntered on up to them.

"Some let their pets ride on-" Celestia started, only to stop with a blush.

"Oh, don't stop now, Celly," Discord teased. "Do go on."

"No, I realized what I was about to say," Celestia said with a sigh. 

"Yes, yes we do," Lily Frost agreed in amsuement. "So, are you three going to visit the Cloudony region?"

"Cloudony?" Celestia and luna questioned.

"I'm glling it that until giving a beter name for the cloud disctrict of Fundony," Lily answered playfully.

'Yes, we are, but it will be all four of us," Discord answered, raising an eyebrow at his pet. "You don't know the Cloud Walking Spell?"

"Of course I do! But that eats up a lot of magic quickly," Lily explained.

"Hm? Of, you unicorns haven't figured out the more efficient version of that spell yet," Discord realized in understanding.

"Why ddo you even need to know the Cloud Walking Spell?" Celestia questioned, eyeing Discord's wings and utter refusal to conform to gravity, among other things.

Discord shrugged, ointing at Lily, who was suddenly but harmlessly zapped by magic from his talon tip. "There you go. Now you just needa ride."

"Why Master, right here ,in fornt of everyone?" Lily Frost asked, trying to look sccandelized but only looked interested.

"Not now," Discord said, picking her up with his tail and placing her on his back.

"The implications speak ill for public decency," Luna remarked, just as all three took flight and rose up.
