Discords power is not his own...
A unicorn cast himself out for causing chaos that left its mark through the village. His passion was that of music, though a foal he was not that of average. He was intelligent, and his magical ability was immense though the intent of the usage was not what he wished to do with it. Chaotic energy flowed through the veins of the innocent pony, Discord sensed this, and sought him out.

Discord has no true power of his own, he is only able to cast spells and use petty magic. He poses no threat to the land of Equestria, so the royal kingdom paid him no mind.

This story is based in the time a few years after the Time of Snow. The village of Trottingham was just being established, when things started to go wrong.

Growing up with no friends and no one who cared about him had driven him into social exile. He had no idea how to interact with others because he never had anyone who cared for him. Left abandoned in a house belonging to his dead parents, with no family members willing to take him in, his school years have been depressing. Though he never gave up he still had the feeling that he wasn't wanted anywhere. He finally spoke up and that is when it all fell apart. All just when he thought things couldn't get worse...
After a tragic incident he gets hospitalized where some weird events occur. A disembodied voice speaks to him promising that it will transport him to a land where happiness is everywhere. Moving towards a bright light, he passes into a new world and begins to fall from the sky into a land known as Equestria. After a big transformation and his body being filled with scars, the voice then tells him that his scars will go away when he finds happiness. Scouring the land to find happiness he meets friends and find somepony to call family.
