Night and day. Fire and ice. Creation and destruction. Everything has an opposite, and Chaos is no exception. Princess Celestia tells Twilight the true history of Discord's rise, the Alicorns' fall, and the creation of the Elements of Harmony.

She tells her student the story of Order and Chaos.

Lucia Fluttershy is hopelessly in love with Discord, her brother's enemy, and she knows that he loves her equally. Upon sight, both knew that he would be murdered if her brother were ever to come across him.

Yet, he is willing to risk everything to make their lives right again. He is the only thing she has left, save her callous and vengeful brother.

Zephyr had intended to murder him, for Discord had protected the mare he lusted after, and assisted in her elopement. He was never to forgive the one who deprived him of his cruel, twisted happiness.

Fluttershy had successfully protected her only comfort - love - quite a number of times. What she does not realize, was that her brother was much more callous than she ever anticipated.

Knowing of his sister's protective nature, he arranges for a number of incidents to damage her psyche and force her to marry the Prince Blueblood, whose riches will secure their position in society.

Composing an elaborate scheme, he drives Fluttershy and Discord apart, and sends his own sister in a horrid downward spiral.

What he doesn't realize is that his actions have consequences. He damages his sister irreparably and murders her will to live.

The story is based upon Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor" and the Walter Scott's "The Bride of Lammemoor".

Discord has been defeated, and all is well again. So why isn't Fluttershy as happy as her friends?

Fluttershy, confronted by eons of loneliness and isolation, was left alone with her memories of a world she had left behind countless years ago. The eternal life of a princess was never meant to be easy, but with the constant loss of all she cared about, pony and critter alike, she could not help but slowly waste away. That was, until she finally decided to consult her last friend with a most unsavory proposal.

After the timeline goes awry for the eighth time, Twilight Sparkle convinces Starlight Glimmer to journey with her through the most recent world she created, using her alicorn magic potion to safely view one of the tragic timelines. As the world spirals farther and farther out of control, Twilight fears the vision may be doing more to strengthen Starlight's resolve than to bring her to an understanding of her mistakes.
