Marionette pushed back stands of her loose brown locks from her bright blue eyes. The feeling wouldn't leave her that her Master would soon be back. She had heard upon the wind shouts of three filly friends. Such a schism among friends would surely bring him back. That would be all he needed after all. Just a little bit of chaos caused by well... The people themselves. Quietly she worked, mopping and polishing all the floors and fixtures of the castle. Everything must be like the day he left her and the staff. Well, before the others started to die off that is.

"Please Lord Discord... Return to us soon..."

The male was not in the best mood right now but he loved being back home. He walks toward the castle he owned and slowly walked in slowly.

"Hello my friends" he chuckled gently as he walked toward the filly named Marionette his red eyes flashed gently a twisted smile on his lips. He walked over slowly

"well my fellow friend how has life been?" He muses gently eyes glowed slightly. His twisted smile seemed to get bigger.

Marionette froze at the sound of his voice. It had been over a thousand years since she had least heard it echo around the halls. Though, it was less jovial at the moment it would seem. The normally very quiet mare turned to face him.
"Lord, I am well. I bid you welcome back to your domain. I fear though... A lot of us have passed since your last time here."
She says holding tight to her mop handle. A faint dusty pink blush creeping onto her cheeks.

Discord looked at him softly smiling gently and lookd at her "ah I did expect that" smiles gently looking around his castle. His eyes looking around as he walked around gently and sat down on his throne thinking to himself for a bit. He grinned looking back at her .

"Now tell me something what have you been doing for the last many many years?"

"I-I have been, well..."
She paused to tuck back loose strands of her curly brown mane. Bright blue eyes still cast to the floor, as if searching for her answer there. With a gulp she looked back up from the ground to him. Her blush still lingering around her cheeks as she once again spoke in her soft meek voice.
"I have been taking care of the castle, studying my magic like you had told me to do before you left. I have watched the others leave or pass on, and wondered how I have been the only living here..."

He nodded his head slightly "well I guess its time to find others for the castle hmmm.....I do need a queen though" he sighed gently looking at her blinking his eyes at her.

The small mare stood still. A queen? A sudden rush of jealousy flashe through of another female made herd shake a little. "I assist you in finding people..." She speaks through gritted teeth. "As for a queen, would she not have a hand in chaos magic?"

He looked at her smiling "I was talking about you chill" he muses before getting up slowly. He pet her head and looking around slowly and started working on his wings to allow him to fly.

It took a few blinks and a head shake for her to snap out of it. "Oh careful my lord! I haven't gotten to the... Cobwebs..." Oops, she knew she forgot something. "Um, I meant to clean up there." She states with a blush.
