Trespassing Only Ever Looks Easy

The disgruntled draconequus upon his entry of the wimpy pegasus' home was greeted with an odd sight. Discord, being the Lord of Chaos was used to the weird and the random, but this, all things considered was by far the most peculiar.

It seemed as if someone or several someones had attempted to barricade the entryway, but stopped stacking furniture halfway to the door, he suppose that although he didn't give anypony enough time to successfully do this without being seen, and so the one responsible would have opted to hide instead, however, he knew that there was no possible way that this pitiful excuse for a pegasus couldn't possibly have done this on her own, in fact, he doubted she would have been of any assistance at all.

There were also nuts, strings and birdseed strewn across the wooden surface of the floor, and paw prints were scattered about, intercepting each other and leading every which way/ direction.

"Hmm..." Discord emphasized his thinking as he rested his claw under his chin. Where oh where, could that Fluttershy be?

The mare seemed to have grown keen senses on where to hide from the experiences she had of running off in the face of danger, indeed, it seemed to him she had disappeared entirely.

He would have opted to believe this, if his eyes had not fallen on a mountain of pillows. At the unexpected disarray of the main room, Discord had overlooked the grand cushioned fortress.

Discord was used to having things out of order, so it was easy for him to leave this place unnoticed, however, he had seen it now, and he was almost certain this was her hiding place. His was confirmed as he approached the mass of feathered pillows and cotton filled cushions, he heard somepony give a faint gasp and a near silent shriek of fear. Discord also noted one pillow in particular that jumped as he took yet another step closer, before slipping back into place. He had found the one pony he sought.

He took a moment to admire the architecture, it was entirely composed of it seemed, and of course, pillows of all colors, patterns, shapes and sizes. I was at least five feet tall, a most impressive structure given the amount of time that had been taken to build it. Discord was actually approved of it. Sure there were many, many things he would change if he had been the one in charge of the construction of the grand fortress, but still, it was bizarre enough to stumble upon that that alone was enough to amuse him. It appeared to be an exact replica of some castle or other somewhere outside of Equestria, at some dark or medieval age he could never bother himself with remembering distinctly, only it was miniature and made of cloth, feathers, cotton and well, whatever material those pillows were made from. He had to wonder though, there was no possible way she had enough time to build this.... So was this already here before he showed up?

"How adorable, but really Fluttershy, We both know I've found you, so It's time to come out I'm afraid."

This time the pillow merely shook and wouldn't stop, and an ever so muffled whimpering could be heard as well as a deepening that which is caused by the desperate pounding of the heart. Discord smiled, If only Celestia could see how far Fluttershy is from the ideal of Equestria she thought/ thinks her to be, he thought chuckling wickedly.

"Perhaps I'll just have to check every inch of this humble cottage of yours." Discord over announced, making as if to teleport himself to another room, only to reappear behind the odd fortress he knew Fluttershy hid behind.

Fluttershy, lifting her head after a short silence, peeked out from her hiding place. She couldn't see the creature she hid from anywhere, but she wasn't about to move from her hiding place, for fear of being found out as he returned as he surely would. Her current hideout had fooled him once hadn't it? Maybe it would hold up long enough for him to leave her alone, and then she could go get Twilight and the others.

The only thing that was on her mind as she saw Discord enter her home was ensure that all of her animals were safely hidden away, she had stopped their barricading of the entryway only moments before the mismatched being entered the threshold, Fortunately she was able to gather all of the pillows in the corner of the small space while they did this, for that was where she hid now, she only wished that she didn't have such a good view of where the intruder was at every given moment. At least, that was before she saw him disappear.

How had she forgotten he could do that? "She hadn't planned on moving an inch from her spot, but now she definitely wouldn't be coming out of hiding anytime soon! Now I have no idea where he could be! This wasn't what scared her though most however, because the worst of it was she had no way of knowing if or when Discord finally left, he could have left already for all she knew, and because he had teleportation abilities, he could return at any point in time, and she wouldn't even know it until it was too late!

Little did she know however, that the draconequus was patiently awaiting her next move, but soon grew bored, realizing that this paranoid little pony wasn't going to budge without a little persuasion.

Just as Discord was about to further think on how to overtake the poorly constructed, though chaotically inspired fortress of pillows, something hit his deer antler. He turned around to see a small object off his head and before it hit the wall and spun, coming to an abrupt standstill as his magic enveloped it. He eyed it curiously. An acorn, how odd. He thought nothing more of it however, and tossed it away, it was of little interest to him now. He started off in pursuit of the terrified pegasus' hiding place, when as luck would have it, Discord was struck again while his back was turned. This time however, it wasn't a nut, but a berry that bounced away before rolling to a stop beside his hoof.

He promptly crushed it beneath said hoof and look around. He looked around him to see himself amusingly surrounded by one and only furry pest he had been greeted by at the door, and what appeared to be a battalion of forest creatures both land and fowls.

They were gathered on at the rafters, behind furniture, out defiantly at the intruder, They were even standing guard by the pillow fort he had hoped to see topple.

What in the name of all that is chaotic... is this?!

"Now this just got interesting. So, ya think you stand a chance against The Lord of chaos, the spirit of things disharmonious? Bring it on you spineless toads! Well, except for those of you who are actually toads, because that's just not insulting, so assuming that none of you are amphibious or reptilian, except for you turtles who won't be of much assistance to your lady Fluttershy whom I pose a threat to, let the fur fly and other such nonsense!"
