This story is a sequel to Mending Love:Love is Chaos

Kibou is the son of Discord and Fluttershy, but most ponies only see the son of a monster. Kibou has a good heart, but when he starts to question who he really is things go downhill. Is he really just the son of Discord, destined to be the next Lord of Chaos as so many believe? He'll have to discover what's truly in his heart and who he is meant to be. Especially when a shadow is falling upon his family and threatens their very existence. He must decide who he is at heart, hero or monster?

For centuries, the grove where the Tree of Harmony had grown stood in peace, rarely disturbed. Nopony remembers how the ancient tree came to be. Its existence predates any sentient being currently alive.

Almost every sentient being that is. The spirit of chaos Discord might well be as ancient. One could say Discord and the Tree of Harmony are old friends, or at least acquaintances.

Discord's rule is often considered one of the darkest parts of Equestria's history, but the spirit of Chaos himself just doesn't see it that way. Sure, being "reformed" came with the benefit of no longer being trapped in a shell of stone, but he can't help but feel he sold himself out. As he strolls through the Canterlot gardens, he ultimately takes time to reflect on the past, specifically, his own.

Long ago, the founders of Equestria built a magical portal on sacred ground, hiding their greatest secret on the other side. Generations of leaders stepped through the portal so that they might emerge as the equal of their forebears.

Celestia and Luna were the last to enter. For a thousand years, the portal lay forgotten, its purpose lost.

Luna thinks it is time that Twilight learn what it means to rule.

There is a village where everypony can be the same.

You may have read some nasty things about it. Rumors of stolen cutie marks and power-mad unicorns. Tall tales about forced smiles and frightened glances.

It's all lies. All except the part about us wanting to escape. That's true.

It's why we came here in the first place.

Winner of the May Writeoff Event.

Princess Cadance is nearly ready to deliver Princess Flurry Heart into the world, and Shining should be the happiest stallion in the world. After all, he's about to become a father—what stallion wouldn't rejoice at this fact?

And yet... something's eating away at him. Keeping him up nights. Driving him to speak with anypony who'll listen. An anxiety. A fear. A doubt.

An inadequacy.
