"So what became of Chrysalis?" asked Celestia trying to piece the whole thing together.

Twilight and Starlight looked at each other. Neither was sure weather or not to admit the truth.

"Shes um," Starlight thought for a moment, then decided to go with her gut, "She's dead." Her gut said not to go into detail.

"OH." Celestia was surprised, "I didn't think you would... I'm saddened by this but am glad the threat to Equestria is neutralized. Now tell me. What is the nature of this spell Chrysalis used on the elements? How did it mix them up without effecting their cutie marks?"

Discord cleared his throat, "The spell had 2 effects, first was to take the most prevalent personality traits and randomly distribute them among the group. The second is to keep the effected in the dark. No matter how much they try to figure out whats wrong they are overwhelmed by the thought 'Everything is normal', thus, they are not themselves, but everything is normal. Only the most perceptive ponies can even get an inclination that anything is wrong. These bunch did well to even end up looking into it, even if that did complicate the cure. However, the only way it effects talent is when the trait is an interest, that you already studied. Example, Fluttershy got Rainbows interest in flight. She may not be a natural but she did go to flight school. The spell made it as tho she had that interest all along and applied that learning more." 

"So that explains the notes we all took." Twilight said, "Here's the most useful part... 'The most likely spell is the entireum normalus described in the unabridged tome of normality, the causes everything to be normal, so long as normality is normal. Based on this we can determine that everything is normal, meaning that nothing is abnormal. In conclusion, everything is normal.' "

"Who wrote that and how is it useful?" asked Rainbow.

"You, and it at least it mentions a spell," Twilight explained, "Rarity took second place but her notes were full of sewing analogies, I didn't even take any!"

"Yes, the spell takes the trait away, so when Rainbow got your love of books, you lost all interest in them." Discord explained.'

"I guess that only leaves one thing," Celestia said, "What was her master plan? How was she going to spin this in her advantage?"

"That's hard to say," Starlight admitted.

"I think I have an idea," Discord, chimed in, "She was under the impression that, since she was taking all the love that was normally distributed among the hive, she was more powerful than any of us, and could just continue tormenting Starlight like a toy."

"Luckily she has powerful friends," Celestia smiled, knowing full well how easily he could of taken over Equestria with the groundwork Chrysalis laid out. She wouldn't mention it tho.

"Is sure is," Was all Discord would say to that. He wasn't going to mention it either. 

What would Discord want with Equestria? He had Fluttershy.
