I felt good. No...better than good, I felt great. Sure, I did feel a tad cold, as if every last drop of warmth had left my body, but who needed heat and light when you had chaos brewing in your veins?
Discord and I padded our way through the chambers of Tartarus, only our goal upwards. We laughed and chuckled as if we were old pals, and in a sense, I supposed we were. He made me what I was now, and I couldn't ask for anything more. Well, except maybe a blanket. Why was it so chilly all of a sudden?
"I'm glad you've finally moved on from that old mindset of yours, Dismay."The draconequus said as we neared the entrance, or should I say, exit, the sound of light growling from Cerberus filling our ears.
I wanted to correct him and say a word...Oddjob? Why had that come to mind? My name was Dismay, not something as silly as a title like that.
"I'm glad I have to." I replied with a wide grin. Oh, it felt so wonderful to be free. The condensed pit inside me had grown until every last inch of my body felt enwrapped by the chaotic power, giving my body a slightly grey tone. But, who cares? I was way too colorful before, and I believed this gray suited me more.
We entered the chamber of Cerberus, his massive black body lumbering towards us with a purpose. Something dully throbbed at my side as the beast approached. Why would it do that?
"Let me handle this." Discord cracked his knuckles and stepped forward, not even flinching when one of the giant dog's heads snapped a warning bite right in front of his face. He merely yawned and snapped his fingers with a command. "Heel!"
The three-headed dog was sent flying backwards by an unknown force, whimpering with pain when it landed. I had to give it to the mutt though, it got right back up, eager to do its mistress's commands: Let nothing in or out of Tartarus. It charged forward with anger in its steps, baying madly with barks.
Discord merely walked by the monster, a giant white cone resembling a satellite disk appearing around each of the dogs, a chain attached to the collars and bounding it to the wall. Cerberus pitifully scratched at the cones of shame around it, but its whimpers fell on deaf ears, we had chaos to wreak, and couldn't spend it all down here.
"Come, Dismay! We have to meet with the others!" The spirit waved for me to follow, and I happily obliged. The two of us stepped out into a bright green forest, a blast of fresh air assaulting me, my senses overwhelmed by the pureness of it all. Animals chittered off in the distance, and the sound of a babbling stream could be heard nearby. It was all so...perfect.
I gagged. Discord sympathetically nodded at me,
"It's much too peaceful out here!" I exclaimed.
"Agreed." He pointed at a nearby tree and inversed it, the leaves in the ground and the roots in the air now. "But don't worry, everything's gonna get a bit more...topsy-turvy once the plan is in action."
"What...exactly is the plan?"
"Oh, y'know, a little build-up, a bit of anticipation, storming a castle and meeting an old friend, all that!" He chuckled. I laughed alongside him, the chirping of birds and the sounds of woodland animals dying out to our laughter, as if they knew the intent behind it all.
Discord snapped his fingers, and in a burst of light, we were off. To who knows where, I had no idea. All I knew that I was Dismay now, and chaos was my goal, my only point to live. I'd make everything miserable, I'd make it all fun, I'd make wrong right and right wrong and everything in-between.
...I still missed the warmth though...I couldn't figure out what it was.
Shortest chapter to date, but what can you do?

Wonder if you'll find the doctor to go back n time and stop yourself if you ruin Equestria, or something. I dunno.

Twas noted in the first chapter comments goodman alondro...
Oh, by the way, I made a copy of discord for you to use like a stressball and squeeze.

1801869 *the things that Alondro does to the copy of Discord are so horrible that even grimdark is too feeble a tag to properly convey the inhumanely sickening acts*

Attaboy, that's a good worse than anything in the universe. Let me get a few backups in case you break your discord...
Brb
As far as a antagonist goes you have done a very well job on Discord. Bleh but I really hate this interpretation of him because of the fact that he is NOT chaotic. To constantly want to cause suffering in others is not chaotic simply because it is an constant, which pretty much is the opposite of chaos and is just as big of an sin for any chaos user as to repeat previously used tricks. Even if we say that Discord as an character is not chaotic and is only using chaos magic as a means to an end (which could be true giving his calculating nature) I still find this type of Discord to be... lacking something.
With that being said I really like this story and will now continuing Reading and hopefully read the sequel as well, have a good day sir/ madam .
