"Hey, Armor?"
>"Yes?"
"How long will it take us to get there?"
>"Siren Keep? By hoof from the empire is roughly about an hour."
"Gotcha"
>You have only been walking for five minutes, yet after turning around the Crystal empire already looked blurry.
>Fucking blizzards, man.
>Looking at Armor you notice a Blue shield made out of the same material of your staff.
"What's the shield for?"
>He turns to see you point to the shield in confusion.
>"My personal weapon of choice. My old one broke, so I had this one made with your staff for our trip."
"A weapon huh. How do you use it, there aren't any spikes or edges?"
>He looks back ahead,"It's...complicated. My sister would be a better person to ask if your really interested."
>Well, there goes your entertainment during the trip. If he was anything like Twilight the lecture would probably last toward and away from your destination.
>One of the reasons you decided to enroll under Luna at the Canterlot School of Magic instead of under the branch Twilight made for Ponyville.
>Scanning your surroundings you confirm that the area has indeed not changed and is still covered in fucking snow.
"How the hell do people even find your empire? The train station might as well be a thousand miles away with this goddamned blizzard going about."
>"Which is why anybody wanting to visit has to submit paperwork so the guard can arrange for pickup. I am pretty sure Princess Luna told you about that before you rushed out."
>Did she? You couldn't really focus due to the Element of Loyalty chasing you around the castle.
>Bitch needed to calm her tits, how were you supposed to know that box of chocolates was edible lingerie.
>Who the fuck puts edible lingerie in a cookie jar anyway!
"Maybe, was kinda busy at the moment."
>God, is there anything you can do to pass the time?
"Wanna play I spy?"
>"...How the hell will you do that in a blizzard?"
 
>You are Sombra
>and you are now covered in sow due to the opening in the ceiling.
>Alicorn damned blizzards in the fucking tundra.
>A few seconds ago you had another magic discharge go up in the air, for all the good that will do.
>"Well, well, well. If it isn't the Edgelord himself in the spirit." says the deity you need, but not the one you expected.
>"Hello Discord, how have you been?" you greet. Trying not to say anything to rash in fear of him making the situation worse.
>"Oh, nothing much. Made some friends, ate some food, summoned a being to our planet that can use gothic magic. You know, the usual."
>Wait, what was that last thing he said?
>"What did you just say?"
>"Made some friends? Yeah you should try it sometime!"
>How did you fall for that obvious setup?
>Reflecting on what you heard, you ask him as specifically as you could.
>"You mentioned a being that could use gothic magic, who is he?"
>He apparently didn't take to kind of you asking such a straightforward question but you need his help not his humor.
 
>"*Le Sigh*Anonymous, or Anon the Shadow as his official title goes, is a human that I accidentally summoned to our realm. Apparently he has a talent for gothic magic and can use it without any of the negative side effects. This of course lead to Celestia and Luna giving him his title to keep him as a potential ally instead of a future enemy."
>After finishing his sentence Discord proceeded to summon a pool of pudding and swim in it as the body just floated in the air.
>But you ignore this as your brain analysed all of the information you just received.
>IF you could get Discord to lure him here somehow, you could potentially posses him and continue with your mission.
>even if he is on your level or higher, maybe you could work out some deal with him. anything to get out of this damned throne room.
>With high hopes you go to ask your question.
>"Hey, Discord. How would you like to make a deal?"
>The draconequus surfaces out of the pool, looking at you with a raised eybrow.
>"If you get the human into this room, I promise I will make it up to you in the future."
>He seems to mull it over, probably calculating some asinine numbers that don't even exist just to messed with you.
>It's not like he actually thinks.
>That be silly.
 
>You are the wonderful and tactical Discord.
>And the Silly Sombra Spectre Slipped his Shit.
>You only told him about Anonymous cause you already knew he would be interested.
>Due to him not having a body, he can't sense that Anon is only about fifteen minutes away!
>All you have to do is make sure that he sticks to his side of the dealio.
>And you know just the right curse.
>"Hmm, maybe" You say nonchalantly, filing your talons while glancing in the air.
>His face grimaces slightly, ruining his poker face he had earlier.
>"But how can I trust that you'll keep your secret? For all I know you could dip out of the deal and leave me hanging when I go prank the Solar Sisters. Do you know how pissed off they'll be if they catch me mid-ruse?" You lie.
>Sure does hurt pretending to be whipped by the mare. You only allow one mare to whip you and she feints even seeing the tool.
>One day you'll get that poon
>One day...
>Gasping aloud, you pretend to get an ingenious idea."How about we use a Promise of Fate"
>With this spell, if one individual forsakes his promise, the other can choose whatever punishment he deems acceptable.
>Oh this gonna be gud!
 
>You are Sombra, world champion of internal freakouts.
>And the Spirit of Chaos just asked you to a Promise of Fate.
>The worst part is you need to agree if you plan on getting out of here anytime soon.
>The reasoning he gave may seem goofy, but that doesn't mean he isn't plotting something underneath.
>Why else would he need you to agree to something so drastic.
>Although he may be on the side of peace, trained dogs can still attack their masters.
>"It's not like I have a choice" You say softly. But your pretty sure that he heard you if his small smile was an indication.
>Taking a minute to collect your regal voice, you reply with your answer and start the spell."I Sombra Onyx, Former King of the Crystal Empire, agree to Promise my Fate."
>Instantly half of your spectral magic rushes out of you and gathers into an orb between you and Discord.
>"I DiScOrD tHe WaRpInG, agree and seal the Promise of Fate." As he ended his chant, somehow coming out feeling and somehow tasting of eldritch magic he uses, the orb that floated in the middle of you two mixed and sent the two different magical energies to the opposite participants.
>"Well, now that business is done I shall go to deliver my part of the deal."
>"Wait!" you manage to call out before he teleported away."What am I supposed to do on my part?"
>He just smiles a sadistic smile that somehow fit his demeanor and responded with the one phrase you feared.
>"Oh, I'll let you know when it matters." and then faded away after uttering two chilling words like a passing breeze.
>"Trust me"
 
>You are Anon, the human mage that is bored out of his mind.
>At least the barrier that Armor's casting is keeping you both from being cold and bored.
>Looking to your left it seems he is reading today's paper while somehow simultaneously checking the map.
>God you wish you had something to do
>Seems that a god did indeed answer your prayers
>Too bad it wasn't the one you wanted.
>"Well, aren't I just popular today, you have to be the second person in this area who called!" says a voice you couldn't possibly forget.
"Hello, Dipcord"
>You can almost hear a growl emerge from him at your cute nickname for him.
>"Aww, how'd you know it was me?"
"Well seeing as how Armor over here is moving at an inch per hour it had to be you."
>For some odd reason whenever Eldritch magic and Gothic magic interact in any way the time in the immediate area is slowed dramatically.
>The only way passed it is to either concentrate on hiding the aura or to be near the Elements of Harmony.
>"Ahh, Gotcha! Say AnoneMoose,"
>Oh god that's horrible, but you can't falter yet.
"What, Dissy?"
>Yet again a pause before his sentence. Success.
>"How would you like it if I speed up your travel by, lets say, a lot?"
>He wants to help you?
>And he dismissed your bait like it was nothing?
>Uh oh, sounds like he's in plotting mode.
"What's the catch?"
>"Absolutely none my fine gentleman! Just thought a fellow magic outcast should help his brother from anotha motha"
>Did he just...
>...forget it
"Okay, but you have to bring Shining Armor in the Exact same position and condition that you bring me, got it?"
>Ooh, seems he had to process that request before answering.
>"seems like someone is learning, very well, your wish is my immediate command."
>Well, this should help you both out.
>All you need to worry about is how to explain the sudden change in scenery to Armor.
>Who is now wearing a pink tutu...
>Goddamn it Discord!
