Authors Note: If you've read the newest chapter of the builder than you know why I haven't updated in forever, and a day if not check it out... now finally since that's out of the way I present chapter 2 of "A New Prince"

"Celly this hardly seems like something that requires a public apology I didn't do that much, just a touch of fun" the draconequus floats between the princesses as they enter the throne room of the palace which is currently filled to capacity with angry ponies, with in the air, many of them covered in various foods with chocolate milk and cotton candy being todays special. "Discord with the general state of the ponies of Canterlot I believe an apology is very much in order" Luna leans in to whisper in her sisters ear "Twas humerous sister" Celestia suppresses a small smile "Indeed which is why he's getting off with just an apology" The sisters take their seats with Discord still floating in front of them.

"Discord Thou hast ruined Jet Set and Upper Crust's gala with thine tricks and covered the rest of Canterlot in the crossfire. What say thee" Discord turns to the gathered ponies literally rolling his eyes before responding in a voice barely loud enough to be heard "I'm so-" BOOOM a blinding flash fills there room and smoke erupts from the center. All in attendance can hear voices from the smoke "Haskill, HASKILL!" Discords eyes widen "sir I am here how may I be of assistance" the ponies in the room try to squint through the smoke "Ah can't find my toes or mah fingers and...why do ah have a craving for HAY" the princesses look confused "sir I do not wish to alarm you but I think you have wings now, also you may be a furry giant" Discord breaks into a wide smile.

The smoke begins to clear allowing ponies to catch glimpses of the beings. Some seing splotches of yellow fur while others see the splotches of dark purple. Celestia sees the dark purple horn while Luna sees the bat like wings. Discord with suprise written accross his face observes the whole image of a white maned, semi craaaa...ok fully crazed alicorn in the middle of the room. Beside the alicorn is a small grey dragon with a blank expression and a strange black and purple half suit from his waist up. The smoke fully clears allowing full visibility to the whole room causing various looks ranging from suprise (ponies in attendance) to suspicion (the princesses).

"Discord ah haven't seen ya in ages" Sheogorath attempts to to walk over to Discord...only to fall over on his face before step 1. "...get over here you" Discord laughs before floating over to hover next to his prone form "Sheogorath its been to long, finally decided to come and visit. How are you liking it so far your new form and inability to walk aside" the prince looks around noticing the gathered ponies for the first time " not exactly and pretty good so far. How ever what ah have ta say can wait until your'e finished holding court" Discord looks confused before remembering that the last time he had seen his esteemed comrade in the never ending war on sanity he was still king,despot,commandante,etc.

Celestia and Luna each rise to full height signaling their guards to start guiding the ponies out of the throne room begining to suspect it will be a long day. The ponies mill out each trying to keep their eyes on the event unfolding in the center of the room. "Sheogorath I believe I should explain the..." Celestia and Luna seeing that their ponies have all left approach the trio with Celestia speaking first "I believe introductions are in order first". Sheogorath looks to the two princessess as if noticing them for the first time "Discord ah see you've established a Duchy since your visit ah suppose ah'll play along but first ah must deal with some serious buisness...HASKILL help me to mah feet!" Haskill looks at the madgod for a moment before stating "my lord I believe the correct word would be hooves" Sheogorath glares at him before roaring back "AH KNOW WHAT AH SAID NOW HELP ME UP" Haskill does so and The prince holds his footing this time and looks again to the princesses who look more wary now than before.

With a dramatic voice that secret to all but Haskill he practices in the bathroom mirror "Ah am the Daedric Prince of madness Sheogorath I am the lord of the manic, your artists

Clowns, and children who laugh, sing, and frolic in blessed anarchy." The princesses look interested in the story while Discord who has heard this and know where it is going floats quietly out of the room. The madgod's voice grows darker "I am the lord of the demented your killers, assassins, and dictators who laugh, kill, and maim in blessed depravity" Sheogorath is suddenly hit with a burst of energy that sends him into a wall, Luna's horn loses it's glow "Begone foul fiend of Tartarus" Celestia looks at her sister "Luna why did you do that he has done nothing wrong" Luna looks at her sister aghast "Celestia didst thou not hear of what he claims as his dominion. Twas better to stop him now then wait for him to become stronger for now we must ask Discord how he became aquainted with this fiend and-" a pebble hits her nose causing her to go cross eyed a moment and then both sisters look towards where Sheogorath was thrown "I AM THE MADGOD" says the stallion lying in a heap on the ground.

"Luna unless you attack him again I don't think he will be a danger. You hold dominion over the moon do you claim responsobility for everything that happens under its gaze" Luna looks ready to argue more for a moment before looking away with a huff. Celestia walks over to Sheogorath and uses her magick to float him back to his hooves "Lord Sheogorath I apologize for my sister's outburst but I believe we have a disconnect you see we are not Discord's "Duchy" we are the rulers of Equestria. Why exactly have you come here?" Sheogorath looks stunned or a moment before replying "well ah must say thank you for your manner but ah had come to Discord seeking asylum from a threat that nearly killed meh. Though ah suspect that may no longer be an option." Celestia thinks for a moment before replying "you will be given a room for the night while we discuss the issue" Luna rushes to her sister "Sister thou can't be serious he can't stay in the palace we know what he might do!" Sheogorath stands a little taller before lifting his right hoof to the base of the neck of his new form reminiscent of a motion he one did as a mortal "I Wulf Ice-Veins give you my word on my honor as a son of Skyrim that this night you'll have no trouble for me." Celestia looks suprised while Luna looks unimpressed "why would thows word mean anything to us?" Haskill who is already holding his lords chest of gear responds "he's was Nord, wagering his honor may as well have wagered his life." Celestia responds "then as a gesture of trust we shall accept this for the night" she calls for a guard to escort the two to their room but stops them before they leave "before you go you said your name was Sheogorath yet when you gave that oath you said Wulf Ice-Veins, why is that?" The Madgod gives a lopsided smile "Wulf Ice-Veins is mah given name Sheogorath is a family name ah pass down from meh to mah self every thousand years or so, and of the two ahd prefer you use the latter."
