//------------------------------// // Chapter 15: Melody's Visit // Story: Showy Chaos // by HeartfireFirebrand //------------------------------// The pair of us we sitting at the table, I frowned “Since I know the truth, do you mind telling me about yourself?” Octavia frowned “Well I’m a Pride Demon the second largest type next to Wrath, I escaped Tartarus by shattering my own body about 100 years back, it’s taken that amount of time to get my full power back. I hung around because you were a fellow performer, I also enjoyed arguing with you as a pride demon, I got quite annoyed when you said your music was better than mine.” I smiled “Yeah, still don’t hide it, you are no ordinary demon or else that weapon would have killed you, you are Lucifer’s daughter, the Princess of Pride you remind of him. I must admit I am surprised, very few powerful demons would dare lose any of their powers for any length of time, especially Pride Demons.” Octavia frowned “It was the only way to get away from Asmodeus.” I frowned “I hate that guy, he even tried tried get me a few times I visited your father.” I frowned more at her as she smiled wickedly “No, I’m not your mum.” Octavia shook her head “Sorry, I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Anyway what about you?” I smiled “Well I created this world from scratch, let’s just say I was at quite angry when they put Tartarus on it. I have two kids, Dissonance and Faust, although Dissonance calls himself Discord nowadays.” Octavia blinked “Wait your the mother of the lord of chaos?’ I smiled “Yep, I mean Harmony isn’t just order you know, it is part chaos as well, why do you think I look like an Alicorn and Draconequus had a baby.” Octavia smiled “I see, I’m surprised that you are a god, you are so carefree.” I smiled “Well yeah I am.” We then both frowned as we felt a huge surge of energy, Octavia screamed “What in Celestia’s name was that?” I frowned “That was my son.” We then felt another surge of energy which reverberated through the air, “That was not my son, I’m going to Ponyville now.” Octavia put her hoof on my wither “Not alone, your not, I’m coming with you and we will find out together.” I nodded as we assumed our pony forms and then I telported us to Ponyville. I glowed my horn to follow the trail of chaos like magic into the Everfree. We approached a strange dimensional hole, we jumped through to arrive in a weird space with a sign reading Chaovsille. I said “We can appear normal here.” Octavia nodded “Very well.” We returned to our true forms and approached the central building, I knocked on the door. After a few moments a strange mare opened the door, she gasped as she looked at us. I scowled “I’m looking for my son, Dissonance.” Her eyes widened and she let us in. The mare smiled nervously “My name is Trixie.” I raised an eyebrow, I knew what this mare had done but she didn’t seem so bad. I said “Trixie please inform me where my son is staying.” She smiled “I’ll teleport you two there,” with a pop we were in a plain looking medical room. Octavia shook her head “Where are we?” I said “A medical room .” A weak voice whispered “Mum, it’s good to see you.” I saw my son’s pale skin and colour. I roared at Trixie “What did you do to him?!” I felt a claw grip my shoulder weakly but with determination as he pointed to Trixie with his paw “I did this to myself to save her, she listened to me and cared for me even after all the evil I’ve wrought.” I sighed as I turned to Trixie “I’m sorry, I was worried you hurt him.” Trixie smiled “Don’t worry about it, you were doing what a mother does, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” I smiled “I’m glad your not bowing to me, I hate ponies doing that.” Discord coughed weakly “She’s one of a kind.” I lowered my mismatched horn to his body as I let some of my chaos magic flow into his body, colour had returned to his body and he stood up. I frowned “Lay off the magic for the next week and you will fine albeit you won’t be as powerful as you were before this incident for a century or two. Also you will need to stay in you bed with being disturbed for the next week as well, your body likely needs some time to recover from burning out so much power.” Discord sighed “Yes mum, I’ll take that advice.” Trixie smiled “I’ll take care of him.” I asked “Why do you care about him anyway?” Trixie smiled nervously “Um, I’m dating your son.” I smiled wickedly at my son “Good, I have been waiting way too long for you to provide with grandchildren” I then turned to Trixie “I won’t do the whole mum speech, I can tell you would never betray him, there’s a beautiful harmony between you two.” I smiled “Well we better be going.” Discord smiled “It’s good to see you mum, thanks for approving of Trixie.” I smiled “She’s a good mare.” Me and Octavia left the building, I frowned “Tavi, you were very quiet in there.” Octavia smiled “I didn’t want to get involved, it was clearly a family matter.” I smiled “Well I should thank you, anyway let’s take the train back, I’d like to relax a bit on the train.” Octavia smiled “True and I wouldn’t mind one of a treat from Sugarcube Corner.” We reassumed our disguises and trotted through town, as we past by Twilight’s castle, I heard shouting. I shook my head, I shouldn’t get involved, I have meddled too much already. We continued on our trek to Sugarcube Corner.
