Predilection: CH 15 : Rebirth?

Predilection: * : Discord and Pals
"We interrupt this scheduled programming to bring you something much, much, more important." A certain Draconequus spoke, pulling all attention away from the "lame" story that didn't have him as the starring role. What are you doing Discord? I didn't...
Predilection: CH 8: Nestking
