the light of harmony

It was just another day in ponyville. Birds were chirping and a certain draconequus was pacing around in a panic. It was fluttershy's birthday and he wanted his gift to her to be special.

“This is a disaster, I have nothing. What do I do, I know, Me what do I do.”Discord says pacing about, as he summons another version of himself.

“You are a god, just create something.” The copy discord says. The original Discord creates a copy of angel. “No,no, no. Something more creative.”

Oh I don't know, after all the gifts I have given her over the the amount of time I’ve known her I don't know” The original Discord said as the copy of angle explodes in pink dust and a cloud appears over discord and starts raining chocolate.

“You have been in this universe for so long you starting to get dull. Go explore, like you used to, that should give you some Idea.”

“Your right!” the original discord cheers as the second discord disappears. “What a smart guy.”

Discord went up into the air and began to open a portal. When he began his spell, the portal started to open by itself. And it changed color from white to blue. “ What’s This?” Out of curiosity he ventured inside.

What he saw when he arrived was something that shocked even him. He was in space. ”Well that's never happened before” he said to himself. He had appeared in a different universe. “I have never been here before. Now which one should I explore first.” He said flying to about the center of the solar system. When he reached his intended destination. He suddenly summoned a couch with a table and a bottle.It all floated level as if it were on a floor, but it was in space. Discord the proceeded to sit on the couch and put the bottle sideways and spun it. It spun and spun until after a very long time began to slow down. It stopped pointing to a very peaceful planet full of green and very rocky and rough terrain.  he slowly floated to it and soon was on the planet’s surface.

“Ok, what here is present material.” Discord began slowly roaming around the planet searching for a gift. He kept walking until he ended up in a ravine and came to an abrupt halt.
“ I feel a disturbance in the force.” Discord said completely serious. He turned to some rocks to his left and started to move them. After moving all the rocks he found a little creatur. It was a cross between a lion and a wolf. But it seemed to be frozen in time. It didn’t even seem to be alive. It appeared to be nothing more than a fossil.

“Fluttershy loves animals, I’m sure she’ll love this, but not in this state. This planet's condition is probably not very good for the creature.” Discord grabbed the fossil and flew back to his portal. What he failed to notice about the fossil is that, on its back it was glowing a slight purple. Discord eventually gets back to his home world and shuts his portal behind him. With the fossil still in hand he heads to Fluttershys cottage.

Fluttershy was out with the girls at this time so discord had the place almost to himself. But it doesn't take long for discord to run into angel bunny.

”Oh, what have you come to pester me about now?” discord said to the small bunny. Angel just stares at him and points to the fossil in his arms.”What, this? This is my present to fluttershy.A new pet for her scene she loves animals so much.” Discord summons a table in the center of the room and places the fossil on it. “ Stand back angel bunny while I work my magic.” Discord says while doing a bunch of unnecessary stretches. Discord then took a few steps back himself and began his spell. As if he was pushing open a door, discor copied the same motion at the fossil in the center of the room. Almost instantly after doing so, dozens of colorful beams shot out of his hands and hit the fossil. The room was cover in a blinding light. After what felt like an eternity, the light dimmed to where discord could see again. “Well, this is new.” Discord said staring at what used to be the fossil.

“What the!? Where am i? Why am i here?” The new much larger creature said in confusion. The creature was orange with its face the structure of a shield. Around its neck was two beam that went up to a point. The rest of the creature had the structure of a lion with heavily decorated armor.

”It can talk! Oh Goodie, Fluttershy will love you.” Discord said happily.

“who are you? Some kind of krawl?”

”Ah where are my manners, introductions, I am discord the god of chaos, and I am a draconequus, and you are?

“Whatever you did to me gave me knowledge. I have no name but i am a spectrobe. A leozar to be exact.”

“A leozar, fascinating. I can’t wait for you to meet fluttershy,she is going to love you!”

“Fluttershy? Who is that?”

”She is the nicest pony ever. You are our new best friend. Also what are these grim you mentioned.

“They are call the krawl. Nasty things that can destroy planets. Where you pulled me from was a place without magic.”

”Well, I have never heard of these creatures, I was right, I need to get out more. So tell me about yourself, like how did you get where I found you, and what are spectrobes?”

“Spectrobes are simply put the bane of the krawl. In a even fight we are the only thing that can stop them. But when i was trying to buy time for my son and wife to escape from a krawl attack they overwhelmed me. Your magic pushed me past what i was at the time.”

”So selfless.” Discord was listening to the spectrobe, while eating popcorn on a couch. “You say my magic pushed you past what you were at the time. I am guessing this is not your only form, is it?”

“You would be correct. This is the last form that the fossil you found would be. The first stage after we awaken is our child form. Then given time we grow into our adult form. That was the form i was in when i was beaten. The form im in now. Is the final form a spectrobe can take. Each stage looks different based on which kind of spectrobe it “

”Impressive. I was always this way, but I was never a, what you might consider, a good guy.”

“So once a bad guy? You have that vibe. What did you do?”

”Oh, I did nothing, except cause absolute chaos. I was so bad in fact, that I was turned into stone for 1000 years before i was set free to be turned back in hopes I would be good.”

“Wow you were bad. I won’t judge your past but if you slip i will stop you got it!”

”Oh how interesting, the kitten threatens the god of chaos.” Discord teased.

“I’m not just strong.” he lets a small flame out of his mouth. “I got bite to go with it.”

”Well kitten, well have to have a magic contest later, Fluttershy is about to come home.” Discord said walking over to a window.

“Oh this isn’t magic. But sure i can show you some moves.” he says as she walks in and squeals.

“OH MY GOSH! SUCH A CUTE KITTEN!”

” I’m guessing you like my present fluttershy.” Discord giggled

“I’m a gift? I’m flattered to meet you then.”

“It even talks! Yes i love it. But what is it?”

” It calls itself a spectrobe.”

“So a new animal then? Where did you get it?”

“I got him from a different planet, and he was merely a fossil. Tell her about yourself, like you did me.”

“Well i have no name but my kind is called a leozar. And it’s been a long time since i got to stretch my legs. I’m so sorry but is there anywhere i can get a good run in?”

”Fluttershy, why don’t you go outside and play with you new pet.” Discord teased again.


“PET!? I’M NO PET!” he roars in anger at the thought of it.

“You don’t have to be my pet but can we maybe do something please???” she says while rubbing leo.

“Ohhh that’s good! Sure I’ll come with you.”

The two walk out and head to the park. After a while they decided to have leozar meet the rest of fluttershies friends. But about halfway in town a blue furred rainbow maned pony spots him.

”Wow, who's the new guy, he look pretty awesome!” Rainbow dash said landing in front of them.

‘I can't just keep giving them my species name. So hmmm oh i got it’ he thought. “My name is leon.”

”So leon where did you come from, you know what nevermind.” She turns towards fluttershy” I’ll just follow you, scene I’m guessing you going to introduce him to the rest of the girls.” Rainbow turns back to leon “ Nice to meet you, I’m rainbow Dash. The coolest pegasus in Equestria!” Rainbow dash finished.

“The coolest huh? Well nice to meet you. I hope you not just talk.” he says with a smirk.

“Oh, bring it on!” Rainbow challenged.

“Oh dear no. don't fight please. Well if you don't mind that is.”

Hearing that leon backs off. “I didn't mean anything by it. I just don't tend to take things as they appre is all.”

”Sure.” Rainbow said sarcastically as she continued to follow fluttershy.
“So where to next?”

“Well why don’t we head over to Rarity's place next.”

“Sounds like a plan”

It wasn’t long till they arrived. Rarity was in her dressing room when the sound of her door bell went off. “Coming!” Rarity sang. When she entered the main lobby, she stopped in shock. “ Oh darling, Who’s your new friend?” Rarity asked Fluttershy and Rainbow dash.

“My name is leon. Nice to meet such a sweet lady.” He said with a bow.

”Oh, what a gentlecolt. Its an honor to meet you, I am Rarity” Rarity said returning the bow.

“I’ll be honest i have no idea where i am or what I’m doing here. But it was worth it to see you.”

”Oh, stop.” Rarity said blushing.

“Were are on our way to introduce him to the rest of the girls. Wanna come? Rainbow dash asked.

“Of course, darling.” Rarity answered as they left the shop.

“Well the last stop is to Applejacks place on the farm.”

“So she live and works i guess there? Sounds like my kind of job.” he said as they arrive at the gate.

When they arrived they could see Applejack stacking hay next to the barn.

“Think she could use a paw?” leon asked.

”Applejack has it under control, but she always enjoys when others lend a helping hoof.” Rarity said.

“Alright then.” he said walking over. “Hey miss? Mind if i give you a hand?”

” Well houd’y there feller. I would very much appreciate it.” Applejack answered.

“Any spot? Or got somewhere in mind?”

“Take this stack into the barn, over yonder.” She said picking up a bale and bringing it into the barn.

To her shock he picks the rest of them up at the same time and carries them. “There we go. That was a good warm up.” leon said cokliy.

”Now no need to show off like Rainbow Dash, sugarqube.I appreciate the help.” Apple jack said grateful.

“This here is leon. We were just coming to get you so we all could meet him properly.”

”Thanks to leon here, I can come with ya’ll now since he just help me finish my work for today.” Applejack said.

“And it was my pleasure. Now then where are we headed now?”

“Now we heat to the castle, with Twilight.” Rainbow dash said.

“Darling aren’t you forgetting somepony.” Rarity asked.

“Somepony new is in town and she hasn't popped up yet, she will either meet us there or she is waiting for us in town.” Rainbow stated. Rarity opened her mouth to argue, but couldn’t. So they made their way to the castle.

When they got to the castle no one appeared to be there and the lights are out. “Lets just play along.” leon said.

Rainbow dash opened the door and let Leon go first. Once he stepped inside, he was stopped by a pink pony. “SURPRISE!” The pony said firing a party cannon in his face.

“ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” he roared trying to get the strange stuff out of his eye. “What was that for?”

“Well your are a new face in town so i thought I’d try to make you smile. Did it work?”

“It did kind of. Thanks. My name is leon. What is your name?”

“Pinkie diane pie but most just call me pinkie. Well were you surprised?”

“Not really. That would have worked on a pony but i don’t need much light to see.”

“Aw drat! Well let’s head to where i have a surprise for you.” He simply nods and the group wanders into the castle.

”Now where can we find, Twilight” Rainbow dash asked the group.

“She’s in the library.” said a little green and purple dragon. Walking past them.

“Hey Squirt.” Rainbow dash said to the dragon.

“So who- no what are you?” leon asked in confusion.

“I can ask the same thing of you. I am a dragon, and the names Spike.” Spike said replying to Leon.

“Well young one my name is leon and I’m a spectrobe.”

Spike looked to the others and they nodded.”Follow me to the library.” Spike said leading them to twilight. They soon came across a giant door, and Spike opened it to reveal a alicorn almost buried in books.

“Hi girls! Who’s your new friend?” Twilight asked.

“Hello there. Im Leon. And you are?”

“I’m Princess Twilight Sparkle. But please, call me Twilight.” She answered.

“Okay Twilight. Nice to meet you. I’m surprised though. I’m a giant new thing and yet you all have been nothing but kind.”

”We have seen and fought crazier things. I mean look at discord.” Twilight said “ We are also Elements of Harmony so we are all kind.”

“Elements of Harmony? Never heard of that.”

“Well let me tell you, and maybe you could tell us about yourself.” Twilight asked.

“Sure, But my tale isn’t a happy one. Do you still wish to hear it?”

”Of course. Alright everypony gather around.” Twilight said as everypony and dragon sat in a circle.
