" Hey Lillian! Over here!" Shouted a dark yellow mare with orange hair, goggles, and a scruffy long tail. " I'm so glad you decided to come! You won't regret this I promise! " Lillian stands right beside Rocky with a blank expression on her face. The creature wore a beautiful Victorian black dress and a snazzy hair piece with a huge dead rose accented with lace. " Just behind that hill lies the happiest, friendliest town in all of Equestria! Come on! Follow me!" Exclaimed the mate in excitement. She galloped up the hill without stopping while Lillian lagged behind her uninterested in the big surprise. When she finally caught up the Dark yellow mare neighed in sheer joy. " Lillian! I present to you PONYVILLE!!! Ain't it beautiful?" Lillian looked over the town from on top of the hill and cringed in disgust. All those happy, skipping, giggling, singing ponies made her sick. " ....Rocky. I'm regretting this. " " Awww come on Lillian! I promise you this place is great! This will definitely lighten up your mood! Come on! Let's go to Sugar Cube Corner and eat some cake! " " .... They have cake here? ... Ugh. Let me guess. It's made out of Hay and Apple's? What's with you horses putting hay and Apple's into everything? " she groaned. " hahaha! Of course there's no hay in the cake Lillian! They do have Apple pie and Apple cake but don't worry. Well get something that doesn't have apples in it. Follow me!" Rocky and Lillian made their way to Ponyville and were welcomed with closed doors and scared ponies running for their lives. ".... You horses have deplorable social skills...." Rocky's ears dropped down in sadness, she thought Ponyville would be a great place for Lillian to make friends and be happy. But in reality this town is full of rude cowards. " I'm sorry Lillian.... " " Don't be Rocky. It's not your fault that these horses down know how to behave. "
It was a Tuesday, and Discord was in Ponyville for his weekly visit with Fluttershy, but that deplorable rabbit of hers, Angel, was sick, so he had been dispatched alone to obtain the tea cakes; Fluttershy couldn't leave Angel's side for five minutes without the rabbit kicking up a fuss. Discord knew he couldn't harm Angel without jeopardising his friendship with Fluttershy, so he simply contented himself with imagining inventive ways the vermin might meet it's demise as he made his way to Sugarcube Corner. As he walked along, he noticed the streets seemed unusually empty; he had encountered this when he had first started frequenting the town, but he had thought most of the residents had grown accustomed to his presence, even if they didn't appreciate it. Reaching Sugarcube Corner, he found it too was seemingly devoid of life. "Curiouser and curiouser," Discord said to himself, looking around. Spotting a couple of figures standing down the street, Discord decided to see if they knew why Ponyville had suddenly decided to become Equestria's premier ghost town.
The dark yellow mare perked up her ears when she noticed Discord next to Sugar Cube Corner. " OH NO! Lillian we have to go! Now! Well have better luck in Canterlot!" She pressed her hooves against Lillians back. Trying to push the mistress away from the streets. " ROCKY! Don't be ridiculous!" She whacked her hooves away from her. " I prefer it this way. And if we're lucky the owners of Sugar Cube Corner could give us all the cake we want for free! " " I don't think they'll do that Lillian. Mr. and Mrs. Cake don't like to give out free stuff. " " Oh yes they will. Otherwise they wouldn't of locked themselves into their own store like a bunch of cowards. " Lillian tapped the tips of her fingers and chuckled fiendishly. " Come Rocky. Let's gorge ourselves to some free cake. " Lillian as strolled over to Sugar Cube Corner with Rocky biting the end of her dress in attempts to stop her from meeting the Chaotic Creature that use to rule Equestria. " NO! LILLIAN WAIT! I-" " Oh hush up Rocky! I promise I won't eat-" she bumped into the draconequus and staggered back wards. " You Clumsy Oaf.... Oh.... Oh dear... .." Lillian was captivated by Discords beauty. His her black mane, his polished mis-matched horns, hose sharp talons and claws and his graceful physique and crimson eyes. ".... I'm sorry. I should of watched where I was going..."
"Indeed you should, I-" Discord paused as he looked her up and down; he was familiar with more of Equestia's creatures than most, but he'd never seen anything quite like her before. "What are you?" He asked, consumed by curiosity. (Just so we're on the same page here, I'm assuming Lillian's default form is humanoid? And size-wise somewhere between a pony and a draconequus?)
((Indeed. She is in her humanoid disguise. Her true identity is a bit horrific. I'm going to draw her soon and you'll see what she looks like. //
"Funny. I was going to ask you the same thing~" She cooed. Rocky couldn't believe her eyes. Her jaw was practically on the floor, She had never seen Lillian be nice nor apologize to anypony before. "Uhh... Lillian? ...Lillian? Hello!?" She waved her hoof in front of Lillians love struck face. She didn't get a reaction from her at all. "... Okay Discord. What did you do to her? "
(Not at all! Guess I'm just slow at responding; I like to think about my responses. Plus I get distracted easily )
"Hmm?" Discord looked over, noticing the yellow pony for the first time. "I didn't do anything!" He looked hurt. "Why does everypony assume anything strange or unfortunate happening in my vicinity is my doing? Don't you know I'm reformed?" He turned back to the creature called Lillian. "I am Discord; Lord of Chaos and Spirit of Disharmony, and some ponies insist on seeing that as a negative thing," He said, glancing pointedly back at the yellow pony.
"Oh Come on Discord! You may be reformed but that doesn't mean your pranking days a-" "Rocky. Would you be a dear and run to that hideous apple infested farm to fetch me a couple fruit bats? " Lillian asked with her sights still on Discord. "You mean Sweet Apple acres?" Rocky questioned. "Yeah yeah that atrocious place. " She grimanced. She looked back at Rocky and gave her a look so terrifying it caused the poor mare to run off in a panicked gallop. Atlast she's finally alone with this beautiful Creature. "Discord hmm? My what a lovely name for such a lovely supernatural creature." She fluttered her eye lashes in a flirtatious way. " Now it's my turn to introduce myself. My name is Lillian Antonescu. And the pleasure is all mine~"
Discord wasn't quite sure how to respond to the compliments or the fluttering of eyelashes; they were not something he was used to; so he stuck to a subject he was familiar with. "Well, Lillian, you certainly know how to perform a proper intimidating stare," Discord said, watching the yellow mare disappearing into the distance. "Most impressive." He studied Lillian again, more closely, teleporting behind her for a better look. "And while you've given me your name, but you still haven't told me what you are."
"Oh! ahah.. Why thank you sweet heart. Intimidating stares run in my family. " She curled a lock of her hair around her finger and continued to keep her eyes glued on the Draconequus. " Well. It's quite difficult to explain my dear. For you see.. I'm a creature that's a bit... different from the rest. But for now lets just say I'm a strigoi. " She scratched the tip of his chin in a teasing manner. " Now then~ Lets get some free cake. " The evil mistress concentrated her black magic at the door. Her eyes glowed a sinister black , within seconds the door disintegrated into a burnt pile of ash. "After you darling~"
Discord recoiled a little in surprise at the chin-scratching, and then further at the door-disintegrating, until some degree of understanding dawned on him. "Oh, different eh? I see. A friendly word of advice from one different creature to another though; there are a group of ponies around here who react poorly to beings such as us." He looked around at the empty street. "Well, more poorly anyway. And they have an annoying habit of triumphing over those they perceive to be their enemies. Just something to keep in mind." He crossed over the threshold and into Sugarcube Corner. "I won't say no to that cake though..."
" Is that so? I knew these filthy putrid horses had skulls thicker then concrete. And to believe Rocky wanted me to come to this place and 'Make friends' " she scoffed off the idea of friendship. But something... Within her cold black heart a fire was sparking up. Every time Discord got close to her she feels like she's floating on cloud 9. " ...B-but maybe this trip to Ponyville wasn't a waste after all. Because... I got to meet you Discord. "
"Oh, well," Discord blushed a little. "I am pretty great." He looked around the shop; no sign of Mr. or Mrs. Cake anywhere. "While I agree that most ponies can be very dull and un-accepting, they're not all bad. There's one mare, Fluttershy, who taught me the meaning of friendship, though I confess I'm still learning." He said, with a slightly distant look on his face. "What about that pony you were with?" Discord inquired, searching for tea cakes amongst the many cake racks. "She seemed to know you." "Cupcake?" He offered, teleporting next to Lillian from across the room and holding out the aforementioned baked good.
" Hmmm. Fluttershy? That sounds familiar. " She tapped her chin with her pointer finger. She didn't want to be rude and ignore his other question so she was happy to answer. " You mean Rocky? She's just a pony I've met last week." She simply answered. Taking the cupcake from his gentle grasp. " Thank you darling. You're far to kind. " She flutters her lashes flirtatiously at Discord. " Now about that Fluttershy. She sounds sooo familiar. Is she Yellow? Has pink hair? And talks to animals?"
"Well, you missed the part about her being kind and wonderful, but yes; that's a fair summation." Discord said, teleporting back across the room to continue his search for tea cakes. As he searched, he wondered why Lillian kept blinking so much; he supposed she must have something in her eye. He exclaimed with joy as he found them. He boxed them up, dropped a few bits on the counter and returned to Lillian. "I'm heading back to see her now; you could come with me if you'd like? I'm sure she'd be interested in meeting you."
This is bad, real bad. She had an encounter with that animal loving hippie. She remembered it like it was only yesterday...because it did happen yesterday: Lilliana went to the Everfree Forest for a stroll and spots a Tortoise crossing the nature trail. Famished, Lilliana picked up the spooked tortoise and sucked out it's life energy and his nutrients. Her prey became nothing but an empty shell that was discarded in a nearby bush. That's when she was confronted by her. The mare couldn't stop crying over her dinner and vowed to get rid of Lillian and ban her from Equestria. "Uhhh... Perhaps some other time darling. I have to wait for Rocky to come back with my fruit bat." She chuckled nervously.
