Part of the Therapist Visit Series. Takes place after Luna's Therapist Visit and before Chrysalis' visit.

What if Discord never ate the reforming spell Twilight was going to use on him as a last resort? What would happen to the Spirit of Chaos when a spell forcibly changes him to what the ponies' morality consider good to be? Nothing good, that's for sure. Or rather, nothing bad, according to the new Discord the spell creates.

Princess Celestia always knew that Twilight Sparkle was destined for great things, but she never revealed the source of that knowledge, not even to those closest to her. When the day of Twilight's true destiny finally arrives, can Celestia fulfill an ancient promise to save Equestia's past, present, and future, even it means saying goodbye to Twilight forever? How can Celestia refuse her mother's last wish?

Ponyville. That is where my fall from grace began. Twilight Sparkle and her insurmountable talent exposed me for the charlatan I was. After that inauspicious day, my shows were no longer a thunderous triumph of magic and trickery. They were a blighted sideshow—a mockery of the splendor they had once been.

In my desperation to retain the life I once held, I stooped lower and lower. I finally hit rock bottom on a remote rock farm. There, I assumed the life of some ordinary, mundane pony, hammering away at boulders until nothing but pebbles remained. It was beneath me, humiliating and degrading. The days dragged on, but my dignity fell no further. It was the bottom, the very bottom, where nothing could fall any lower.

If I had it to do over again, I would have clung to that humble bottom. I would have held on and never let go.

I made the worst mistake imaginable. In my desperate bid to claw my way back up to the graces I once knew, I put my faith in dark magic. While I may have found the bottom on that rock farm, that accursed amulet drug me even deeper, pulling me into the abyss of hell.

"Pinkie Pie is a murderer. Secretly, of course. Disappearances, carefully hidden. Small, subtle stains in the basement.

"Red Velvet is her next victim. She is going to die, slowly, alone and hopeless in the dark."

"That's weird, Pinkie. Stop talking."

Written for Rage Reviews' F*** This Prompt #10.

Seeing a single mother in Equestria, especially in a smaller town like Ponyville, isn't all that rare. After all, there are nearly ten mares to every stallion, so it's bound to happen to keep the population level. That being said, a single drunk mother is a good deal less common. However, Berry Punch (with a little help from her sister) is a perfectly fine mother. It just begs the question... where's Pinchy's dad?

Twilight and her friends are always the first to be sent in when danger arises, and Celestia always seems to be on the sidelines, but why? Twilight is determined to find out.
