> Chaos Clay > by Pietheater > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was like Discord had come back just for me. All around me my ponies lie dead. Destroyed by those demons. Black looking ponies killing my people while fighting zombie ponies. This had to be a dream. Why would zombies kill those black things and leave my people alone, and those black things kill all in their way. I stood there in disbelief as all I had worked for fell to the demons. Only a few minutes ago I sat on my throne listening to my ponies troubles, and now I stand at my castles gates. There are only 4 guards left awaiting my orders. "Save as many ponies as you can, and get out of here. I'll hold them off as long as I can." I ordered and started to kill all the zombies and black ponies. The zombies ponies were easy to dispose of, but the Black ponies were like stronger versions of me. They had so many tentacles that I couldn't count, while I on the other hoof only had three. I have the strength of five ponies, but they must have had at lest the strength of twenty. Worst of all they could be there one moment and be gone the next. Weather it was teleportation or super speed I could not tell. I thought I was the only one that Discord made. Yet all of these demons seemed to suggest otherwise. I was Discords clay. His tool for sculpting things. A living soul carrying so much chaotic magic that I had no control. I was a puppet to Discord. Only two things could give me a shape that didn't look like a blob. Discord and the elements of harmony. When Discord was sealed in stone, the elements tried and somewhat succeeded in getting rid of the chaos inside of me. I now had form, and control. I thought I was the only one. I had killed two of those black ponies and Princess Luna knows how many zombies before two tentacles stabbed me from behind and came out of my chest. knocking me out. When I came to I could tell two things, one not many ponies made it out alive, two if I didn't find some way to stop my bleeding I would join the dead in there eternal rest. As I got up I yelled "IS ANYPONY ALIVE?" only silence answered my call. It only took one look around to send me into the deepest pits of darkness as I saw all I had worked for dead. Fallen buildings lie in piles all around me. The only thing still standing was me and my castle. I took a look at myself and see my black blood that is barely visible through my dark purple fur. The blood that touched my chaos plate where a normal cutie mark would go would turn into cotton candy and float away. I decided make my way to the medical chambers of my castle. Staring in horror as I walk by all the died bodies of my ponies. Upon entering the medical chambers I saw the only thing that could bring hope to my heart and a slight smile on my face. The doctor of my castle, a gray earth pony with a light brown mane and a red cross cutie mark. "Dr. Doo are you alright?" was all I could ask before he turned in terror and nearly screamed before realizing it was me. "Good god don't sneak up on me!" he declared with heavy breathing "Are there any others or is it just you too?" Hearing this took away my smile and brought my head down. As my vision started to blur from loss of blood I replied "No. Just me. Come here and help me with these bandages. My vision is starting to blur." Dr. Doo wasted no time in helping me with my holy chest. As he went through the process of whatever Doctors do for this kind of thing he started to ask questions "Who were those black ponies that attacked us?" "I don't know, but I'm going to find out and make them pay!" I exclaimed. Dr. Doo took some time before asking another question "What are we going to do now?" After thinking for a bit I said "We're going to search for any survivors, rest, then head over to Equestria and ask the princesses for assistance." The doctor had just finished tending my wounds and stared at me "And if they refuse to help us. What will we do then Sir Chaos?" "They will help. It's against their nature to turn away ponies in need. No matter how twisted they are nor how dark their past. I may be a creature of chaos but I have ruled with love for my people. they cannot turn their backs on us. And please drop the formalities. I have lost everything but you. just call me Chaos Clay." Once I had finished saying this my sight started to come back. "But Sir Chaos the Princesses haven't been ruling that long. They just got their castle built, and their people have just learned that Discord was defeated, and that they have two new rulers. how can you be so sure?" Dr. Doo questioned. He just wouldn't let this go would he. I bring my head up to stare into his eyes. Once I had his full attention I proclaim "I have seen them before, during, and after they defeated discord. I helped them choose their land. I showed them how to remove the chaotic magic that was destroying the land. I showed them how to rule. If there is anything that still exists it's that they will help us, and like us they will mourn for the lost of my ponies." With these words spoken with so much certainty he said no more on the topic. We waited till I could go search for my ponies. We looked and looked. I knew my ponies by name and face. All but seven were found. Those found were stabbed or cut open. No ponies were bitten by zombies. If the seven that were not found were alive they were lost and could not be found. Three days passed by the time we decided to go leave and seek help from the princesses. Only two things could heal the sadness in my heart. Time and revenge.
