//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: The Lost Legends of Equestria: Discord // by Silver Inkwell //------------------------------// Prologue Twilight Sparkle was exploring her very large wide vast library when it finally happened, and what happened was complete and total chaos of course. “♪I’m not a fan of puppeteers, but I have a nagging fear that someone else is pulling on the strings, something terrible is going down through the entire town, wreaking anarchy and all it brings, I can't sit idly, no, I can't move at all, I curse the name, the one behind it all... Discord, I'm howling' at the moon, and sleeping' in the middle of a summer afternoon. Discord, whatever did we do to make you take our world away? Discord, are we your prey alone, or are we just a stepping stone for taking back the throne? Discord, we won't take it anymore, so take your tyranny away! I'm fine with changing status quo, but not in letting go, Now the world is being torn apart, A terrible catastrophe played by your symphony, what a terrifying work of art!” Discord sung very loudly to himself right now. “DISCORD!” Twilight shouted very loudly. “What? It’s a very catchy tune,” he said, “Granted I wasn’t the one to make it, or the author, but don’t worry, all songs and stories will be cited at the very end,” he said turning to the screen and winking with a devious smile on his face right now. “Now then, what were you trying to say exactly my dear?” “You can’t just barge in here and sing a silly song!” she said. “Actually I can, I am the spirit of Chaos and Larry does it all the time.” “Wait, who’s Larry exactly?” she said very curious right now. “An animated talking cucumber in another universe that has been copyrighted sadly enough,” he said, “But enough about him, let’s talk about you.” “Yes, let us, like for one thing what possible reason could you have to barge in on me at this time of day when I’m trying to reorganize my bookshelves?” “Reason? Me? Why would I ever try to make sense?” he said summoning a pair of sunglasses and Hawaiian shorts and a golfing t-shirt on himself right now. “Discord, I like you, but at times I really hate you sometimes too,” she said. “Why? Is it because I’m funny and beautiful or is it something else instead? Because ♪You should hate me cause I'm better than you.” “You’re crazy, you know that, right?” she said right now. “Well of course I know that, what fun would there be in being sane?” “I guess that you’re right, but tell me, what is your backstory anyways exactly? Because I don’t and still haven’t seen anything mentioning you yet still.” “Oh, you want to know my backstory? How lovely,” he said as he summoned some chairs and her friends, “Well take a seat and I’ll tell all of you.” “What are we doing here exactly?” Applejack said confused. “Well you’re going to listen to y backstory of course, you and the audience.” “What audience?” Applejack said looking around her. “Oh silly little Applejack,” he said, “Well then, time to get the puppet theater and clay theater because it’s time to start the Discord Show Tonight LIVE with your favorite host myself!” he said very loudly as a very large stage appeared and suddenly loud clapping could be heard as the other theaters popped up. “Thank you very much,” he said, “But I honestly don’t deserve your praise, oh who am I kidding? Of course I deserve your praise, love me some more!” And with that said the sound of applause grew until he finally calmed it down. “Thank you very much, but now it’s time to finally start the show after a quick song sung by myself!” and with that said a version of himself with a female red haired wig came in and stood on the stage and started to sing. “♪Oh hail to mighty lord Discord with his brilliant eyes, and his nice kind generosity who stood still in statue for a thousand years, and stood long through night and day, and when the kingdoms fall who will stand but he? Oh how glorious does his name sound and ring, whose bright name and glory will live on, and make every pony in Equestria finally free!” And with that said the female version of himself stepped off. “Alright, and now it’s time for me to sing!” he shouted. “♪Let me illuminate the possibilities, well Jimmy Fallon might be live, and Ellen might be funny too, well you in luck for a whole new host, you got some power and comedy unleashed in the corner, you got some punch and yahoo, what will your pleasure be because I’ll write it down and then give it to you but despite all the rest and others you ain’t never had a host like me! No, no, no! Life is just full of chaos, and I’m your gracious host, yes I pride myself on service, I’m the boss, I’m the king! I’ll never fail or disappoint you because you ain’t ever had a host like me! No, no! Oh no! Can your hosts do this or that? Because you ain’t never, ever, had, a. host, like me!” As he sang various random items started to pop up exactly to the pitch and speed of his song to match his voice, and on his second to last line he did some of his usual chaotic stuff by making houses float and birds swim on land and also some pink cotton candy chocolate filled clouds as well too then. And with that said they could hear even some more very loud clapping now. “And now for the next song!” he said. “♪Come on in and put my chaos to the test I swear that I won’t ever disappoint, don’t believe me well then just ask any animated living object, try some of this and some of that, because with the king of chaos you never get second best!” And with that said even more loud clapping was heard now. “Thank you for that oh lovely me, but now on to the show.” And with that said a movie screen suddenly came up and started to play.
