This is a story about how Discord had his physical essence extracted from the statue, leaving his chaotic powers behind, and having his body morphed into the basic structure of a pony so that he can live in Ponyville and be free without harming others, under the supervision of Twilight and Celestia of course. While Discord isn't crazy about this plan anything is better than the statue, watching the same thing day in and day out. Of course while the ponies mean well, Discord isn't exactly used to the harmonic and peaceful lifestyle and may just regret his decision.

Not bad. Write moar.

Must say though, I found it odd that they could simply converse with a statue. For the first half, I was thinking that they were talking to him and he was simply THINKING the responses. Which would have made more sense actually. The ponies' questions and responses were pretty vague at first. Got up to Pinkie answering yep yep yep, but dismissed it as Pinkie being Pinkie. But from there on it was obvious. You could have simply said something like "Then Celestia shot him with a spell so his voice could be heard." If you ask me, you should add that in right before the mane 6 show up, that way it does look like Celestia is simply conversing with a voice-less statue.

1177986 Would it make sense for me to say that Discord is using what very small amount of magic that he has available to him to send out a very small telepathic signal which he uses to converse with the ponies? Or would you prefer that I say Celestia shot a spell at the statue temporarily giving it a voice?

And thanks for the feedback :twilightsmile:

Either I guess, as long as it's explained.

discord is always awesome :twilightsmile:

Mmm... good.

I think you've got all the characters, so far, nailed. I like the interaction between Celestia and Discord, obviously suggests they've know each other a long time (I lol'd at her smashing him on the wall). Except for Twilight's voice. Her actions and even dialog is fine, it's the way she says it. Almost sounds too formal, like Celestia or Rarity perhaps. “That’s quite alright Discord” doesn't sound like something Twilight would say. Despite her education and time spent with roylaty, she still has a more down to earth speech pattern. I can't really explain it any better than that, just that you might want to read through Twilight's lines with her voice in your head and see where it doesn't quite fit.

Other than that, this was enjoyable. You'll have to describe Discord's freakish ponified body some more next chapter. Pretty cool idea btw!

Huh. I forgot about this story. Seems like everyone else did too. Maybe you should get some cover art.
