Chapter 3: Forging Of Rings and Plans
Dan and Discord had to sneak back into the castle to get the gold for the rings. There was plenty at the castle that nopony would miss. The hard part was getting it without their loves finding out. "Ok are you ready to get in there get the gold and get out? Ok that sounds a lot worse out loud." Discord shook his head at Dan. "Ya let's not say things like that out loud again." Dan agreed and the two teleported to the treasure room. Dan didn't know this room very well so was surprised to see that there was less treasure than he thought there would be.
Dan looked around the room and turned to Discord. "Ok what can we use?" Discord smile and walked over to a simple bar of gold. "We can just use part of this." Dan nodded and used his magic to take enough to make two rings. Dan was using a special spell to control the metal. This spell made the metal hold its shape and almost indestructible. Dan the used a similar spell on the gems to make the Sapphire to look like the moon with the Rubies next to it so that it looked like they were holding the moon. Next Dan did the same things to the Diamond and the Topaz gems but with the Diamond looking like the sun.
Then Dan took the gems and placed them carefully in the rings. Then Dan made the gold bend around the gems so that the gold accented the gems. "There that should do it! What do you think?" Dan moved the rings over so Discord could see them. "Wow I am impressed! Your sense of design is very useful in this case. They look great! The girls will love them!" Dan smiled wide with pride in his work. "Now comes the fun part. Surprising them at the right time! I already know what I am going to do what about you?" Discord shrugged. "I think I have an idea to start with but I don't really know."
Dan stepped closer and put the sun ring in Discord's paw. "Well let's get out of here before we are caught and figure out the rest." Discord nodded and the two teleported to the maze. When the two got there they hid the rings so that Luna and Celestia couldn't find them. "Alright what are the ideas you have so far?" Discord told him about a candle lit dinner and asking Celestia to marry him in the maze after dinner. "That way she is her happiest. It will surprise her more that way cus she will expect it at dinner." Dan smiled at Discords idea. "Good one. I think that will work out great for you."
Discord agreed but wanted to know what Dan's plan was. "It is a secret. You will know it when it happens but not before. I have a very nice and elaborate plan that will embarrass her and make sure everyone remembers it." Discord was slightly worried but what Dan was saying. "You know that it is hard to make me worry but you tend to do that often. Especially when you say things like that." Dan shrugged. "It is nothing bad in any way. I just know her and it will be fun to see her reaction. "
"Alright good luck with that plan then. I am going to ask Celestia tomorrow night. When will you ask Luna?" Dan smiled. "In five days after you ask Celestia. I know the sisters will expect us to do it at the same time, so I will make sure to wait and keep her in suspense." Discord face palmed. "You can be really mean sometimes you know that? And I hate to say it but I think you like chaos even more than I do!" Dan laughed. "Ya probably. I like keeping things interesting." The two laughed before they figured they should go tell the girls that they were home.
