Discords pov
Ahhhhhh! What a splendid day! I loved to see all my creations. The lollipop signs, the trees that grow upside down, the barking apples….. just wonderful.
Oh, and the scared little ponies. That was the best of all. How they tried to hide their children in their cute little houses that I could easily invade and change if I wanted to. Some were trying to build a rebellion against me… hehe how fatal, they wouldn’t stand a chance. I’ll just turn them into marshmallow eating marshmallows! That would be hilarious!
I flew my round above a little town in the near of my cotton candy woods, looking what kind of chaos I could cause there.
Awww so many ponies there, oh yes that will be fun.
I thought it was boring that so many of them took the normal roads to walk, so I gave them the ability to walk on walls, what a generous creature I am. Oh and I felt so sorry for those poor cakes, always getting eaten by those mean ponies. So I gave them a chance to show them how it felt like to get eaten. That was only fair right?
I saw a little unicorn filly trotting down the road and decided to follow it. There weren’t any other little fillies outside but her, so a little prank on her wouldn’t hurt anypony. I took in how she looked like, so I would find her again, if she gets out of sight. Her fur was a soft pink and on her flank was a big purple spot, without any cutie mark. Her mane and tail was mostly straight, there were just some curly parts in it. The color of it went from a dark pink to a purple color. And her eyes looked kinda bored…. Oh you want to know the color okay, okay. They were a turquoise color, with some green and blue spots in it, nothing special, but at least you’re happy now.
When I was done with memorizing her, I caught the sight of a blue mare running towards her. Maybe her family or something. She was questioning her why she was outside and blah blah blah.
“-before this monster comes and does anything to you!”
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Was she talking about me, her ruler?! Well that deserved a little punishment. That's only fair for insulting her king.
As I was about to change both of them into manure buckets, I suddenly heard the filly say.
“Why should I hide? It seems like a pretty nice and normal day.”
Well finally somepony that appreciates my great work, even if I didn’t like the normal day part. Oh well, but I still had to punish the other one. She offended me after all, so what should I do to her? Turn her into a rattle snake made out of jelly? Nah, not now. Change her style? Hmm…. that blue coat of her definitely looked boring, how about….. a mishmash of colors! Yes, that’s great!
As I changed her fur and heard the littly filly simple state “Your fur is changing.” in a bored tone and then saw the mares terrified look, I simply couldn’t stop bursting out into laughter. Oh, and when she kept on saying “Please make it stop!” hilarious! The little filly kept watching her for a while, till she suddenly just went past her and moved towards the cotton candy woods.
How heartless of that little thing, she wasn’t even trying to help her. Oh well, it’s none of her business anyway.
I followed her, maybe something fun would happen. She seemed interesting after all. I think she knew that I followed her, that I watched her but she just simply ignored me. No one ignores the great ruler of equestrian Discord. So how do I get her attention? Maybe if I scare her. Ah yes, I’d love to see that little thing get scared or cry or run away and screaming for her mama all the way or maybe all of it at the same time! Haha! Now for the scaring part. I probably should come out of the floor slowly and creepy.
Let’s get into action. I went underground and then slowly came out of the ground in front of her. I made my eyes glow a dangerous and scaring red and made the creepiest voice I could muster and as my head was out of the ground, I said a slow deep “Booooooo!”
I burst into a hollering laughter, already expecting her to scream and run away. But there came no such thing. My grin went to an unpleased frown as I took in her features. She just watched me, no trades of being scared or even surprised! I got out of the ground and asked rather irritated “Why aren’t you screaming or crying or running away?”
She kept on watching me, taking in the details of my body and only after some time snapped out of it and remembered that the great Discord was talking to her.
“P-pardon? What did you say?”
She really dared to overhear my question! What a little-! No wait Discord, be merciful and repeat what you just said. I huffed and repeated rather annoyed again. “I said, why aren’t you screaming or crying or running away?”
“Why should I?” she quickly asked.
“Because!-“ BECAUSE I WAS DAMN SCRARY! You should cower in fright and I should be laughing my ass off. That stupid little filly, doesn’t know what a good scare is! Who does she think she is?! Thinks she is almighty all on her own! Where are her parents anyway! I’m the freaking ruler of this land; they should be worried sick for even letting her go outside!- wait let’s find out more about them and then make their life a living hell but don’t let your excitement shine through.
“-ugh! Nevermind. Why are you in the woods on your own anyway, little filly?” I asked but tried to sound uninterested. “Better go back to you parents, or they’ll be worried.” Wow even a dog would hear the sarcasm in this sentence.
She seemed to think for a moment but then she said “What are parents?”
That actually took me by surprise. I stared at her. Did she mean that? She doesn’t have parents, she’s an orphanage?
“Sooo…. You’re all alone?” what the hell Discord!? That sounded terrible even for you! Oh no, look at her face. She looks like somepony bored her with a dagger. Oh no, no, no-
“Yes.” she said with her head hung down. She started to wobble a bit, only then I took in how miserable she looked. She had many bruises, her mane was ruffled and she had dark sleeping bags under her eyes. Why did I recognize this only now?
I didn’t know why I asked that next question, it felt not like me at all, but still I did.
“What’s your name?”
She stood still, she seemed to be thinking. Didn’t she remember her name anymore? She started to shake and wobble again; her eyes were unfocused, always closing for a long time. I tried to say something but she didn’t seem to hear a thing. She looked exhausted and I stated a quiet “Nevermind.” so that she would stop thinking about my previous question.
The filly looked up at me again shaking and wobbling again. Worry seemed to take me over and I asked her if she is okay. She opened her mouth to answer but nothing came out. Instead she suddenly broke down and didn’t move anymore.
I didn’t know what to do anymore. First I checked if she was still alive. She was. What now? I can’t leave her here; I’m not someone who lets somepony simply die after all. Bring here to a hospital? No, they’re probably not capable to take care of a filly anymore. *cough* It's not my fault! *cough*
Then what should I do?
I could take her to my castle and let somepony check her…. That sounds good.
I swooped her up in my arms and took off towards my castle in canterlot.
