AU of the Season 4 finale, Twilight's Kingdom. Tirek tortures the three princesses in an attempt to learn the whereabouts of their magic. The most unlikely hero comes to their rescue, the Draconequus lord of chaos. Will a powerless and weak Discord be able to save the pony he has always loved?

Warnings: Major character death and gore (shouldn't be too explicit)

Update: I will be adding an Alternate Ending to this in which Discord does not die as well as a chapter studying how his death affects the Mane Six.

After succeeding to stop Tirek and his evil advances all seems good until Discord collapses before the mane six's eyes. They along with Celestia and the other princesses try to help Discord but when his time comes they all have to forget in order to survive, but not everyone is ready to let go.

Following the Tirek incident, Equestria is once more at peace and festivities abound by ponies grateful for their freedom. Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends have perhaps the greatest deal to celebrate, especially with the key-bearers who helped them to access Rainbow Power.

So Twilight decides to spend quality time with Discord—lord of chaos and final key-giver—investigating the Tree of Harmony, and the two friends must learn to work together towards a common goal while coming to trust each other. But friendship is not always easy, and when a struggling Discord receives a visit from a shadow that claims to be Tirek and threatens to destroy the mane six out of revenge, it tests their newly forged bonds and reveals many ancient secrets along the way.

This story is a sequel to Traitor

Chaos is inconsistent by nature... even when it would prefer to be consistent.

Discord is afraid that his nature ensures he'll inevitably betray those he cares about again, someday, and he can't figure out how to stop himself. (Spoilers season 4 finale.)

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm honored to inform you all that this story on July 29, 2016, was given the audio treatment by the Highland Bronies of Scotland. Special thanks to Infinite Affection for making it all possible! Here it is!

An alternate end to the Season Four Finale, taking into consideration some details that came to my mind and weaving a short story from them. Also, my first serious (and successful) attempt at a one-shot.

Twilight Sparkle decides to give the villain Tirek all alicorn magic in exchange for her friends. Naturally, this doesn't include Discord. After all, Celestia told her he was a traitor and helped Tirek steal all the magic in Equestria. Discord feels betrayed. Twilight as well. So does Tirek.
Nothing good can come out of this.

Tirek continued to laugh, mocking him, mocking them, and Discord felt an anger like no other burn him up deep inside. He shook with rage and just focused his gaze on the ponies and the little dragon in the cage. Blue eyes met crimson and that's when a yowl tore from Discord's throat.

What if the battle with Tirek had a different outcome, that nopony in Equestria could have predicted in their wildest dreams?
