Burning Wings

'Hero'? That sealed it. Rhenn no longer thought of the changeling as much of a threat, just more of a dillusional exoskeleton. Where in Equestria did she get this 'hero' idea? Probably some silly prophecy of some kind that her accursed people conjured up.

That mattered little though, what mettered was that Zecora had apparently arrived here? How did Z'cora ever think we were 'ere?! We never called out t' the nut! Rhenn thought ill-temperedly in remembrance of how unhelpful his encounters with the zebra had been. Rhymin' in th' middle 'f a crisis... I don' need more 'f her 'n mah life.

Rhenn just kept behind the other two and acted inconspicuous in order to avoid having to speak to the crazy forest hermit.

"Okay, wait... what?" Zed asked. It seemed that the whole 'hero' concept caught him a bit off guard. "What do you mean by 'hero'? Celestia didn't say anything about that in the letter." He said with a shrug. Unless she didn't plan on telling me anything until she met me in person..." He thought, but he shook the thought away. He rolled his shoulders as the muscles began growing stiff. "Zecora? Is she here?" He asked, then ducked away when she began pulling up the rags.

"I am here strange creature I see that you bleed, follow me I know just what you need," her body appeared from the forest as her hooves clopped along the dirty brown path as she begun to walk away towards her hut.

"My my my, what it it we have here, another strange creature is what can be clear," Zecora looked at the Changeling with a nod and to the guard with a bow, her small hut was just up ahead.

---

Shadow jumped as Zecora appeared out no where and checked the rags and begun to walk away.

"Oh sorry, no I wasn't told anything about that, I just assumed, I doubt she'd ask for you just to be killed or something for doing nothing," she paused as Shadows hooves rubbed into the ground.

"Apologies but come along now, you don't look to well,"

Rhenn followed behind the others without much of a word. He wasn't one to be silent and brooding, but neither did he feel like getting involved in sidetracks.

Z'cora can jus' work her mystic'l potion jumbo, then we c'n get on with this... He thought with a fresh new breath to cool himself a bit.

when the four of them arrived at Zecora's hut there was another arieon waiting by the door this one looking vary angry.

 

"CORPORAL RHENN! EXPLAIN TO ME WHY YOU LEFT THE SUPPORT TROOPS IN PONYVILLE AFTER PRINCESS CELESTIA HERSELF ASSIGNED THEM TO YOU!"

 

Everyone,but Zecora, stoped at the sudden shouting from the Lunar Guard General

 

"Welcome to my home ShadowShield, as you can see this creature needs to be healed. So please keep it down, and also remove that frown" Zecora rhymed as she opened the door

 

"Thank you Zecora, and i will try to be less of a disturbance" ShadowShield replied then Noticed the Changeling (ill deal with that latter for now deal with Rhenn) he turn his gaze right over the strange two legged creature and directed his glare right at the still stuned corporal.

Discord was on an errand for celestia when he notice a light in the sky and something that looks like a metor crash after thinking for a bit he decided to investigate this strange light. He started to fly to where he thought he saw it land and he found himself by the everfree forest. He landed in the forest and took a look around he didn't see anypony but he saw some recent hoofprints so he decided to become a bird to not cause a panic in bird form he flew along the trail and found himself at zecora's hut there was Zecora of crosure,2 arieon, a changeling, and a pony or creature he didn't recognize.He landed on a branch about the door after they finished talking.

"well well well what do we have here" he made a pair of glasses appear out of then air even though he doesn't need them "2 arieon and a changeling" said discord then he made the glasses disappear and he started to fly after a bit he landed on the changeling back "my you are a unique one tell me since you don't belong to chrysalis brood whose do you belong to" asked Discord

"Please keep the violence out of my way, I have a patient I must begin with before the end of day," her voice rhymed easily as she got to work mixing and heating ingredients. Zecora trotted in as Discord appeared.

-

Shadow jumped. "Discord? In the flesh? Here? My Zed you are special!" Her eyes looked at the Chaos maker and nodded.

"Correct I'm not apart of her Brood I'm my own brood and I have no offspring, your looking at a Queen here, I'm just not that age yet," she smiled before walking away not wanting the guards to be even more worried.

"Discord? Why are you here, oh and Zed obviously this is Discord, he's reformed!"

ShadowShield sighed heavily

 

"discord, arnt you suppose to be in Buckago" he said through his teeth as calmly as he could wail not taking his eyes off Ryenn

"you know what i dont want to know go bother them i have to deal with Corporal Ryenn"  Shield said wail walking over to the arieon, the changling, and the creature

(hmm, seams like the beginning of a bad joke)he thought

Rhenn cursed his unfathomably wretched luck. What was described as a simple escort mission was likely to get him in deep boiling trouble; it would be a miracle and a half if he came out of it with his current rank.

"Ah, Gen'ral Shield. Y'ain't happen t' be 'n a good mood, eh?" he motioned the general to follow him aside away from the sudden commotion. The last thing Rhenn wanted was more difficulties, which all seemed to pop up at once.

"Jus' clarifyin', do ya mean to say that my 'comrades' gave up? They jus' returned home after doin' nothin' but fool 'round an' disrespect th' head 'f their squad? I can hones'ly say that I'dn't've stopped 'em! Not a bone 'n their bodies could hold a blow." Rhenn paused a moment holding up a hoof requesting a moment of silence before he continued. "Yeah, I know tha' it was an irrispons'ble move on my part, an' I deserve whatev'r you've got comin' at me." He handled everything quite calmly despite previously being frozen in the unexpected shock of Shield being right there. But now Rhenn had regained his poise and would take whatever would be thrown at him in confident stride.

"No im not as you can see it daytime witch is nighttime for me" Shield informed him

 

"and no i meant you left with out them they where sitting there at the train station when i arrived to lead the group to Zecoras when we retrieved it but seance you weren't there i told them to go back to canterlot, i also told Zecora that the creature was mos likely injured from its crash and to retrieve you before you guys went to ponieville." Shield took a quick glance over to the changling and discord when the bird turned back into a draconequus

 

"as for your punishment you'll be staying with me untill i see fit. By the way why is Shadow Cocoon here. and what do you know of the creature."

As he followed the three to Zecora's hut, he jumped in surprise at the sudden loud voice of the general. Rhenn? Huh... So that's his name. Zed thought. It was more than a bit surprising that he had not learned the name of the batpony that had first found him. What was worse, the boy didn't even have time to realize it. Blinking the thought away, he turned his attention back to the general, and it sure did not take a genius to figure out he was angry. He had not realized how important this "mission" of his was, and surely the general had some sort of punishment planned for the batpony. Oh man, I'm sorry Rhenn. At the appearance of the bird, who was apparently named Discord, he backed up a bit. "S-special?" I hope not! He thought. Nothing good ever came of him being the center of attention. That was one thing he was sure of after nineteen years of existence. Not only that, but he was in the presence of a queen! His heart raced and the room began to spin, but luckily he stayed standing. All of these surprises were going to be the death of him.

(( correct me if i am wrong but i don't remember saying that discord turn back to his normal self. if i did i apologize if not brave i would recommend not control my character aka god mod or whatever term can't think of it right now))

"anyway changeling if you are a queen like you say you use to belong to a different blood because that's why you was hatched you can't just can't come into the world only i can i wasn't born." said discord turning his attention to the general arieon "yes i was then i notice the light like i am sure the princesses did unlike them i came to personal investigate." said discord

Then discord turn to the other creature then he took off in his bird form to take a better look it after look at it for a bit. He then landed in front of it and turn back to his ture dragonquess form and he held out his claw for a shake "As you already know i am discord. Lord of chaos" he said interducing himself after he said lord of chaos a exploding of confetti came out of above them and nowhere and rained down on everypony.

Shadow turned to the general. "Ahem! I serve Princess Celestia and Luna, no wonder you knew about me, whatever ideas you have that I could be evil and that you know my name,clearly means your keeping tabs on me, I for one refuse to be covered up in male testosterone! I am a mare and proud thank you very much and I could easily fool any of you, any day, any time and any place, General that's Queen Shadow to you,now if you don't mind I'd rather talk to Discord than some General who is hell bent on orders and is as angry as a Manticore with a thorn in its paw!" Shadow breathed deeply after ranting and stomped her hooves causing mud to go up her hooves and into the holes on her legs.

"Zed? I'm terribly sorry for that, some ponies here are a tad bit paranoid!" She giggled at the joke hoping to make him smile before turning to Discord.

"That's...something I'd like to not say here but I for one know that my parents died protecting me, they were murdered because they were believed to be of evil intentions. I come from a place far from here and was sent to Canterlot under the Princess with some letter attached.

I grew up with an old couple of ponies some way away but I'm here now and that's all that matters! I clearly don't look like one of Chrysalis's brood, I have an actually eye and my small crown below my horn is growing," Shadow shrugged remembering her days as a filly with the pony couple, yes she was a Queen and came from Royal Blood, she doesn't know who her parents were but Celestia told them they were of a different line! "I don't know much," was the Changeling's last comment before looking at Discord with a smile.

When Shadow acknowledged him, he smiled and nodded... of course, it did not take a genius to guess that it was more of a nervous smile than anything else. Of course, he felt a little bit better knowing how Shadow came to be, but it still shocked him that he was in the company of a queen. Even though he did not exactly know what she was a queen of. There was yet another jolt of pain in his shoulders and the boy grimaced a bit, but tried to make it as unnoticeable as possible. He blinked in surprise as Discord suddenly transformed from a small bird to a much larger dragon-like creature. "Lord of Chaos, huh?" He said, brushing off a bit of confetti that had landed on his shoulder. He took the claw offered and shook it. "Well met. I'm Zed, Guardian of the Ethereal Realm. Or... Well... I used to be." He had told them that he was an angel, but he figured that they might as well let them know just what his position was. Not that they would believe him, of course. He had acquired the title when he was young, and to have it is an honor above everything else. The Guardian was just one step away from being a god, but he wondered if any of them knew that...

Rhenn sighed in relief as he was let off the hook of a harpoon rather easily. However, he was far from relaxed. There was far too much happening all around him at once, a few of them with notorious reputations as well.

"Stick by yer side for a while? I can 'andle that; but I sure as th' moon rises that I can't handle any mem'ry of Coccoon. I haven't any memory about 'er. Never seen 'er really."

Rhenn thought from that point on that he would stay out of most of the happenings. He had to stay by Shield, and he knew full-well that Shield could handle most situations. Ah gotta avoid gettin' deeper in... There's more import'nt tasks at hoof.

"OK guess ill have to ask her my self then, come on lets get back to the group" Shield said as he tossed his head toward the rest of them and walked in that direction.

(why are you here Coccoon?)He thought

(*sigh*) he knew Coccoon was right to think of of him as a testosterone filled general, everpony was right no pony know him personally just the pony that got things done and punished those that prevented that. Its just the Lunar Guard took a real beating when Crisalis took over and its made him parinoyed that it could happen again so easily.

 

(i know she had nothing to do with it but when you have to fight your own daughter because a changling had turned into her you kinda get skeptical......I'll explain that to her later when i get the chance. right now i have to worry about this creature's health)

 

"Zacora? hows the remedy coming" Brave asked into the hut

Turning to Shadow"ok that seems reasonable shadow and if you want to be alone i know the perfect place" said Discord to her. Turning back to Zed onto you " The ethereal realm i have heard about that, But have never been also i could fix you up right now if you want" said discord with a his Trickster Grin on his face.
