"So Discord, do you mind if I tell you a story?"

"Yes. No. Maybe. Purple."

"I don't care. Shut up so I can monologue"

Now, it all started when I was nice and happy in my house...

"geez, this drawing is harder to make than I expected," I mumbled to myself, shading in the horn of the pony I had come to call 'Queen Umbra'.

"And...Done!" I held it up to my wall and smiled. "Perfect! Or, you know, only slightly flawed."

Mission complete, I went to bed, not seeing the bubbling shadows I had drawn around her horn start to move.

I woke up with the AC turned up REALLY REALLY HIGH...

"blargle"

And a bell tolling six...

"mmph"

And a scream.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

"Is it a fire?!?!"

I said as I bolted upright onto four hooves. wait, four hooves? a small corner of my mind said. FOUR HOOVES? I'm not proud to say I rivaled that pony in terms of volume.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I took a moment to disappear. AHUHAHUHAHUH "Ok, stop hyperventilating, Skye, stop hyperventilating." Whew. "Ok, first order of business: WHERE THE HELL AM I?" Scanning the area, I saw a...shadow. Looking down, I saw a...shadow. Looking up, I saw a...pony stomach. "So I'm in his...Shadow?"

"How do I get OUT!"
