I felt magic around me, I felt confused as I thought I was dying. It then burst in a flash, I opened my eyes and saw Discord lying there on the floor, I shouted as I shook him “Discord.”

A claw was on my shoulder, I turned around to see Golden Goose’s claw on my wither. He said “I don’t know much about magic but I’m guessing he used too much of his power to save you. It definitely changed your form.”

I frowned at that statement before I saw a bunch of ponies, griffins and minotaurs dragging a stallion in front of me. It was Snail’s father of course, I snarled “What the hell, you tried to kill me.”

He snarled back “You hurt my son, you evil spawn of Tartarus.You deserve this and more.”

I snarled “I know I did damn it, I have done a lot of things I’m not proud of. I didn’t originally come back here because I wanted to. I was starving and dying when I returned here, I hadn’t eaten anything more than grapes in ages. Then I return only for a mare to beat me up with dark magic. I have paid for mistakes, now I have to make up for them.”

I shook my head and sighed “I’m quite angry about what you did but I will let you go with a warning, I have done some terrible things with a far worse reason, my own ego. You are just being an overprotective father, just next time you want to perform something like this on somepony, don’t involve your professional life in you personal vendetta.” I said to Golden Goose “I have to go, I’m sorry. I’ll come back and pay later.”

Golden Goose said “Don’t worry about it, after this it’s free, after all you didn’t even finish you meals anyway.”

I levitated Discord onto my back and teleported us back home. I put on my former bed, I shook him gently “Discord, are you okay?” I sat there watching him lying there unmoving for the next 3 hours, I felt tears dripping from my eyes, why did this have to happen, this was supposed to be a nice romantic dinner. I finally had happiness but apparently trouble follows me around and ruins everything.

I felt something touch me, I open my eyes to see Discord smiling weakly at me. Discord said “You look different but it suits you.”

I cried “Discord, you alright.”

He sighed weakly “I gave you all of my power, I am surprised I’m not dead to be honest.”

I smiled “Thank you but don’t try sand give you life for mine again.”

He smirked “I can’t help it if I love you.”

I felt my face grow warm, and my heart racing in my chest. I gave him a light kiss “I love you too.”

He smiled at me and I laid next to him, he has been so much kinder than most stallions who just wanted to bed me. I sighed “I’m sorry for doing this to you.”

He frowned “Your the only one who has ever made me feel like this, you made my stone cold heart melt into goop.”

I frowned “Wait what do I look like now.”

He said “Summon a mirror, you have all of my power it should be easy, just will a mirror to be there.” I looked ahead and a mirror appeared, I gasped he really gave me his power. I stood up and stared at myself, my jaw dropped, I was easily the height of Princess Celestia, I was largely the same just bigger, my muscles were thick and strong, the most shocking feature was my mane, it flowed in a similar way to the Princesses but was pitch black, yet somehow it still shone.

I heard a loud knocking coming from the door. I said “I’ll get that, Dissy you should rest.”

Discord smiled at me “Very well, tell me who it is when you return.”

I nodded and teleported to the door, I opened the door and I gasped. I saw a Demon standing behind a creature that was half-Alicorn, half-Draconequus. The Aliconequus scowled “I’m looking for my son, Dissonance.” My eyes widened, this must be Melody.
