//------------------------------// // A Chaotic Week // Story: A Shadowed Past // by King Sombra Returns //------------------------------// Discord, Lord of Chaos and disharmony was unbelievably bored. It had been a while since he had become friends with the Shy pegasus and swore to use his powers for good ( most of the time.) But he was still so bored! He was in his chaotic home sitting normally upside down in his bathtub on the ceiling. He didn't know what to do. He could Torment Twilight. That was always fun. He could always pay the Sisters a visit, or bug Cadence and her husband. But there was nothing he could think of that he hadn't done before. He remembered Twilight saying something about her sister in law coming to visit. Oh the fun he could have with both of them, but how would he pull it off? Then he got a wicked idea. He would pretend he had the blue flu and ruin there trip by making them go to the end of Eqeuestria for a rare tazleworm flower. Then he would give twilight a medallion for her gratitude and their friendship. that would make a wonderful laugh indeed. Then he popped on an illusion charm that made him look blue and set off for the Star swirl exhibit that Twilight was going to go to, why she had such a wonderful Fascination with the old wizard was insane to him. Ever since he could remember he had hated the old creep but he never knew why. Perhaps he had known him a long time ago. "Bah! So he could preform magic, so what!? I have the power over chaos! That old wizard would never be able to stand up to me!" He then gave a partly evil and goofy laugh to close his inspirational speech. He gave himself a look in the mirror and gave his beard a nice sweep before popping out the door and into a tiny glass case. Everything had worked out so well! Cadence and Twilight's day was ruined and Cadence was exsosted. But his plan had backfired when a giant creature called a Tazzleworm had sneezed on him and made him sick. He hated being sick! He was so useless and weak. He was going to be miserable until Fluttershy came home! Discord just wished that he had planned ahead. Perhaps next time he could- "ACHOO!" Every time he was getting somewhere he sneezed or coughed it was stupid! The Lord of Chaos forced to stay inside a quorentine bubble created by Cadence. But then again that could have left him there at the edge of the world all alone... " Perhaps Fluttershy wasn't the only friend he had... Maybe just maybe Twilight is my friend as well..." The idea came out of his mouth before he could stop it as an agitated Princess walked past him. "Ugh..." she replied going back up to her room. That night Discord had a dream, not a normal one oh no. This did not have Unicorns, Pegisi, or earth pony's asking him to make the world a wonderful place full of Chocolate rain and cotton candy clouds, no this dream was the strangest by far! It was a dream about a pretty white Unicorn with bright teal/ Cyan mane and bright blue eyes. She sid across the ice with a wonderful grace and passion. She was wonderful and something inside his chaotic heart told him that he knew her. That this mare was his friend, and that she had liked him as a friend and perhaps more. But this was impossible! He had never had a friend before Fluttershy and he has never seen this mare before! In fact the thought made him slightly angry. But he had no idea why. Every night for a mouth Discord had the same dream about the young and graceful mare. It haunted his every-being. He had recovered form his foiled plan and was back in his own little damnation. But even Chocolate milk and Cotton candy couldn't; get his mind off this. It was so weird. Normally Princess Woona would have helped him, but she never came to the rescue anymore. Ever since King Sombra's defeat the Princess of the night had been quiet and everyone had seen it. The stars were dimmer,and the moon was not as quiet. And while he would not call this dream a Nightmare it still bugged him. It was like he was missing something, something he needed, something he wanted, and something he couldn't have. Discord woke up in a cold sweat from his latest dream. Fire. Red hot fire burned everything in it's path. Mare;s and Stallions ran with their colts and filly's trying to get away from the fire and ashes. The suffocating ashes, with the air polluted with the dust and smoke. The air was impossible to get any clean oxygen. There was a scream and a shattering of ice as someone trying to put out the fire fell into the never ending cold. "NO!" He had screamed out and tried to run twards the screaming, before a tree covered in flames fell and he was unable to save the mare that had fallen. That was when he had woken up. With a dull pain deep in his cheast, unable to understand why he would dream of such things. He stretched out his limbs and layed back down on his cloud to try to get some more sleep but the scream echoed in his mind like it had been real. He looked at his clock, Midnight on the dot. He suddenly had the brilliant idea to go pay Lulu a visit. But when he arrived in Luna;s chambers his cold stone heart sunk at the sight. Princess Luna was laying on her bed crying softly. But there was an unsettling darkness in the Princess's room. One that he did not like at all. He poofed away and desisted to pay her a visit when she was doing better. Everything was out of order, and not in the good way. First her outburst she had heard about, then King Sombra's demise, and these plaguing dreams. Why was everything going so awful!?
