//------------------------------// // Rude Awakening // Story: Journey Of Chaos // by -_MistWolf_- //------------------------------// Celestia raised her head. All around her, ashes and scarred ground lay. Black trees and an orange sky. Celestia stood as a terrible smell hit her nostrils. It smelled of gasoline and smoke. Even more-so fire. She can't be alone in this place, it is sort of impossible. Well, not exactly impossible, more like not likely. But whatever the case, there should be somepony else here. She would be in for a surprise when she finds it won't exactly be a pony at all. Discord awoke. His tail ached and his horns felt like they have been pulled. He quickly looked around to see complete destruction. Everything in ashes and broken. No, this couldn't have been him... he didn't remember causing anything. He was just heading over to talk to Flutter.... never mind. Either way he stood. Terrible smells of pain and fear hit his nostrils. A stronger scent of fire. Well he can't be the only one who ended up here. Some creature has to have been the cause, if it wasn't him. Celestia started to walk. The ground felt extremely hot on her hooves, so she un-wrapped her wings and flew. Suddenly she spotted a very obscure but familliar creature on the ground. He was walking on all fours, but all fours were different fours. Her memory was coming back still... who was this? Discord sighed. He got up and walked forward. Suddenly hearing the beating of wings, he tilted his head to see a puzzled alicorn. Oh wait, this is a puzzled Celestia... he noticed her but it was taking her a minute. He decided to stand and snap his fingers to get a chocolate milk shake. Nothing. He snapped again. No shake. No nothing. Why wasn't his magic working? Was he not in Equestria?? Oh, she knew who this draconoques (don't know how to spell that) was now. This... is Discord. She remembered everything clearly now. She narrowed her eyes. He has to be the cause of this terrible destruction site.... if not than who could it be? Discord stopped snapping his fingers and looked up at her. Celestia charged her magic (thought she did) and aimed at Discord. Nothing happened. She just looked like a complete weirdo shaking the horn on her head. She lowered her ears and landed softly in front of Discord. "Hello, Hello! How wonderful it is to see you here, Princess!" Celestia scowled. "You caused this, didn't you!?" "Celestia, I am no part of this crime. I only remember heading over to Flutter...! nothing. I don't remember this is all I am saying." Celestia didn't want to believe him... but he was telling the truth. She could see it. However, it didn't really matter who did it at the moment, but how and why it happened. "You are telling me you have no knowledge on who/where/why/ or how this happened?" "I am in fact telling you that... but, I did see a large shadow before ending up here." Celestia remembered now. "Large shadow?" "Large shadow." "Impossible. I faced the same figure before this place as well." "I think I know what it is." Says Discord. "Hm?" " A Nightmare's Edge. They are wolf-like creatures, however they can shift-shape." "Really?" Said Celestia amazed. " if its how we seen it, then I am almost 100% sure." "How do you know this?" "Celestia, I am the king of chaos! I know every mythical creature!" Celestia sighed and shook her head. "How do we get out of here and prevent the creature from going back to Equestria?" "Nightmare's Edges are immuned to everything. It will most likely hibernate now though." "Well... way of escape?" "To find the way out."
