Welcome to Gaia! ::

"HEEELP!" A pegasus cried, flying and fighting against a strong wind current that had suddenly cropped up.

The weather had been no accident; in fact the skies had been quite calm until a certain draconequus had appeared that morning around Cloudsdale. Many ponies, such as the magic-fearing Gypsy Gold, had been unwilling to take chances and attempted to flee at once. Unfortunately, Discord wasn't allowing his 'playmates' to get away so easily.

"Oh, quit your whinnying. It's just a bit of fun." Discord caught the piebald pegasus by his dark purple tail and began to braid it with the nimble talons and dexterous claws of his eagle and lion limbs. "I thought you'd be one to understand, Gypsy Gold. Aren't you an entertainer of sorts?"

The stallion was too stunned to speak. He was so frantic that he continued struggling fruitlessly to get away. Discord rolled his eyes. "You're no fun at all. What do the unicorns think of you, I wonder? Are you really that afraid of magic?"

"What? Who's Discord?" a passing pony asked. She set down a basket of apples she had just bought in order to pay better attention to Adrianna. "Are you okay? Maybe you should calm down first," the dapple gray suggested. "I'm Forest Frolic. I live in the Everfree Forest, so I'm not really familiar with Ponyville. Maybe I can help...?" After dealing with lots of different creatures and prey in the enchanted woods, Forest was very surprised she had never heard of this new being before. It sounded important.

"Chaos?" Forest repeated, curious. She looked at the little dragon, surprised. "Wait, what do you mean?"

Just then, a pale yellow pegasus flew over to them, her long pink mane and tail looking rather disheveled. "Hello," she greeted, her voice quiet and solemn. "I'm sorry; this is kind of my fault. Princess Celestia told Twilight and those of us with the Elements of Harmony that she hoped we could get Discord to use his powers for good instead of evil," the pony sighed. "He's not really doing anything evil, but he's not doing much good, either. He says he's bored."

"Oh, my name is Fluttershy, by the way," she added in a meek voice. "Um...Spike, do you know where the others are? I don't want to bother them with this if we don't have to..."

((Sorry, I don't know if not having a bio would be against some kind of rule for this... I've been RP-ing around here for a long time without one.))

Meanwhile, in Cloudsdale, a visiting unicorn stepped out from the library where he had been signing books. Unlike those panicking around, he seemed to be enjoying the storm, with his red coat and bright yellow mane both fluttering in the breeze.

So... Discord's escaped again? Sounds like an adventure. His eyes narrowed as he jumped up into the breeze, letting the wind pick him up and toss him onto the top of a nearby building, where he could have a clear view of Discord. I'm certainly glad my publisher thought of sending me here!

"Lets try threatening to turn him back to stone!" Spike said when Twilight asked about what they should do. "Maybe you should try talking some sense into him, Fluttershy. I'm sure he would listen to you." Adrianna said. "After all, you are friends with him, are you not?"

"Hey, Audry has a point. By having his friend talk to him, he might think about what he's doing, and stop. Good thinking Audry!" Spike said excitedly. "I'll get the Elements, just in case. And we should probably round everypony up. Audry?"

"Oh, okay then. I'll be back with everypony in a little while" Adrianna told Twilight and Spike. In leaving, she turned right back around to the Library and asked Twilight "Who are they all again?

Spike walked up to the secret part of the Library that nopony except Twilight and Spike knew about. He put in the secret password and opened the door.

Only to find that the Elements of Harmony were all replaced with paper drawings.

"TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT! SOMEPONY STOLE THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY!" Spike screamed while running out of the Library.

Adrianna was flying towards CloudsDale, the city where she would more-than-likely find Rainbow Dash. When she found Discord torturing a little pegasus pony, and a unicorn pony trying to talk some sense into Discord by commanding him to release the pegasus. "Yeah, why are you doing this anyway, Discord? Are you sure that this is what Fluttershy, or maybe even Princess Celestia, wants?! Think about what you're doing and release the pegasus!"

((Oh, no, that's perfectly fine, Eclipse! ^_^ I enjoy finding out about characters through roleplay itself. Do you mind if I put your Scorching Quill's name up, though?

Also, sorry for the hold-up, guys! I didn't get any notifications that people were posting!))

Fluttershy's ears perked up as Twilight emerged from her home. "I don't know," she told the unicorn earnestly. "He said something about needing to stretch his wings a little and that maybe the pegasai would want to join him. Before I knew it, there were ponies saying he'd been spotted in Cloudsdale." She looked to Adriana Starstorm. "Is that where you saw him last?"

Bowing her head low, the yellow pegasus shook her head meekly. "I'm not sure what might calm him down. Whenever the birds or butterflies or bats want to fly around a little, sometimes I go on a short flight with them. But I didn't expect Discord to go bother other ponies, so I didn't think I needed to accompany him. I'm not sure I can keep up with his speed, but I thought maybe Rainbow Dash could. If she wasn't too busy, of course."

She sighed. "I just hope Rainbow doesn't try to bully him or anything. Maybe he just wants to make more friends."
