Celestia frees Discord from his statue prison, convinced that he is somehow behind Twilight Sparkle's grayed personality. Discord takes advantage of the situation to make the princess hate him, for reasons he hopes he'll never need to say.
(First ever attempt at writing a story other than class assignments. Let's see how it goes?)

I'm interested in what's happened to Twilight. But then...I notice she's not on your character tags, so maybe her plight isn't as important as what's going on between Celestia and Discord? Hmm...I like your Discord quite a bit. The scene where he performs his "operation" on Twilight was well imagined and quite funny in the end. But also really creepy. I was like, "Don't let him go messing around inside her, Celestia! You can't trust him!" Ha ha...but who knows, perhaps he's sincerely trying to help this time.
Anyway, it's well written and has me curious.
Finish this. Now.![:flutterrage:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/flutterrage.png)
You've captured Discord's personality just perfectly! This is an incredibly good read. I need to know how this ends! Please, do go on!![:raritywink:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/raritywink.png)
Very interesting idea. I look forward to reading more.

Thanks! I hadn't originally planned to make Twilight any important part of the story, but now I'm not so sure. I think I'm going to give her a bit of a bigger role than I had intended. Perhaps it's time to change the character tags?

Glad to see someone excited about my work. You have no idea how happy it makes me to know that I'm writing my favorite character right.
[Mortal Combat voice] FINISH IT!
Thats our CRAZY Discord.![:twistnerd:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twistnerd.png)

Why thank you. It's good to get some feedback.
The next chapter might be a little delayed, swamped with college this weekend so I'm not getting much time for writing at all. Apologies to everyone who wants to see chapter 3 sooner than later.
I've added the Twilight Sparkle character tag as well, gonna put her in bigger shoes than I had previously planned.
Now that I think about it, it's kinda hard to picture Discord without a voice in his head.![:applejackunsure:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/applejackunsure.png)

Is that a compliment? I think it's a compliment but I'm pretty tired right now so I can't be sure.
If it's a compliment; Thank you very much.
If not; Is there anything you think I could do to improve?
If it was neither and it was just your 2 cents; I think I agree.
(I'm gonna have to read this all again when I wake up and laugh at myself)

darn, I forgot.
Let's just say compliment.
an·i·mos·i·ty:
a feeling of strong dislike, ill will, or enmity that tends to display itself in action: a deep-seated animosity between two sisters; animosity against one's neighbor.
For those of you that want to know.![:twilightblush:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightblush.png)
Looks promising.
Finally! Feel like this chapter took all of multiple eternities. Damn life getting in the way of my writing!
Anyway, I hope you guys like(d) this chapter.
so, uh...what did she do?

It's a surprise, and I hope I don't disappoint.
945080
when's the next chapter coming out?
945095
Soon as I can get it written out, I'm posting these as I go along. Probably won't take as long as this one did because I'm far less busy than I was when I wrote this one. Fingers crossed?
945109
dang. I was hoping for a set date to enter into my cryo-stasis tube
945115
I'm taking this anticipation as a good sign![:pinkiehappy:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiehappy.png)
945117

I'm happy you enjoy my work (and my hair). I'll consider you my first fan out of however many I may someday accumulate. First fans get special privileges, such as saying they're my first fan.

I'm happy you're enjoying it. You should be pleased to know that chapter 4 should be out sometime before I die. No promises for chapter 5, though...
Hooray for another chapter! I managed to work in a very subtle My Little Pony reference, can you spot it? (Oh god that was a terrible joke)
Let me know what you think?
lol awesome! X3
i like where this is going X3
Awesome chapter!![:moustache:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/moustache.png)
awesome chapter. yes, i did write the exact same thing as the person above me.
Hehe goofy Discord.
971706 What's the reference?! I DON'T GET IT!!! Haha, just kidding. Awesome chapter (go with the flow)

Thank you. Next one's gonna be a bit late, for that I apologize. I've actually started writing another fic as well. Probably not the best move I've ever made, but oh well.
1008651 Don't apologise. We readers are the ones who should be happy that all you writers are awesome enough to write all these good stories, and for free, too! So what if a chapter is "late". Keep up the good work!

I doubt my writing skills are sufficient to bring people to tears, that's a power reserved for only the best authors I think. But if it does make you cry let me know, that's an awesome ego boost lol
Just letting you guys know that I haven't abandoned this story. I took a huge (very huge) break to write other fics and brush up on my writings skills, and I've recently continued on with chapter 5 on this one. You can expect it sometime within the next week I hope.

I'll be waiting! ಠ_ಠ
In reading day and sleeping night,
No update shall escape my sight,
For those who think of magma's might,
Beware of the waiting, for it is too tight!
*dramatic screams*
....the screaming is optional when pledging the oath to updates

And the award for my favorite comment of all time goes to...![:rainbowlaugh:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowlaugh.png)
I finished writing it and none of my editors were online. I tried, but I couldn't wait to post it. At long last, here is chapter 5.
It's probably riddled with mistakes, and for that I apologize. I just wanted it to be up!
If there are any mistakes, I haven't found them. Good job! :D
You know something is up when even PINKIE can't get out!![:rainbowlaugh:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowlaugh.png)
FINALLY A UPDATE Plz update a Tad faster. Plz![:twilightsheepish:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/twilightsheepish.png)
