Chapter 4. This cant be right

Discord laid on the ground cackling from twilight's pleas. "Come now Twilight what did I miss when I was set in stone. That other side of you sounds like fun!" Twilight slammed her hoof on his chest to stop his laughter.

"You wont be laughing when the princes get here." Discord smile only grew larger.

Spike could only watched Twilight from the other side of the room as she argued with the herself. "I just hope she doesn't do anything she might regret later." Spike thought to himself.

No sooner that Spike had sent the letter there was a bright flash in the middle of the library and there stood Princes Celestia Twilight's eyes began to glow with happiness from seeing her teacher. "Princes thank goodness you came so fast! Not so funny now that the princes is here is it Discord."

Celestia stood next to spike trying to make seance herself what her student was talking to. "Spike how long has Twilight bin acting like this?"

"She started acting strange seance last night. She keeps saying that she can see discord but I keep trying to explain to her that he's not there."

Celestia made her way next to Twilight. "Twilight are you feeling alright?" She placed her hoof on her forehead "Well you don't have a temperature."

"Princes don't tell me you cant see him to he's right-" She slammed her hoof on the ground expecting to fell Discords body instead she felt the hard floor hitting her hoof. "here..." She looked back down only to see the floor. "His gone again!"

"Twilight who is gone again?"

"Discord!" Twilight said frantically looking around the room trying to find him.

"Twilight Discord is not here nor was he ever here."

"But I saw him I felt him under my hoofs." tears bean to run down her face her emotions began to run wild.
"T-this cant be right why can no one see him?"

Celestia wrapped hoof around her student like a mother comforting her young child. "It will be alright Twilight. Why don't you tell me what you have bin seeing."

"Well it started last night. I stayed up late writing the report about how we defeated discord." She jerked her head up looking over to her table. "Oh no I never fished the report!"

"Twilight the report can wait. what happened next?"

"Well after i was almost fished with the report I was a head of scheduled so I got up to stretch my hoofs and to get a drink.
But when i made my way to the kitchen then the candle I had on my desk when out. And that's when I saw him."

"Him? You mean Discord?"

"Yes. I-I think it was to dark I could barely see him. But I know it was him I couldn't make out much of his body but what I could see was his two yellow eyes." Her body began to shake as memory of the fear she felt from the sight of the eyes began to come back to her.

"When you say him what did you?"

"I used light spell to see him better but when the spell to affect he was gone. I mean I know what I saw but it made no seance. I thought he was a hallucination but then I thought he might of just teleported somewhere and I started to panic."


"I can understand your concern Twilight but." Celesta was lost in her thoughts something about twilight's story sounded to familiar to an incident that happened in the past.

"But what princes?"

"Twilight something about what has happened to you seems familiar but first. I would like you to come with me to Canterlot I think there is somepony that would understand your experiences better."

"And who is that princes?" Twilight asked with excitement that for once somepony believed what she said.

"But first there is something you must do for me Twilight."

"And whats that princes?"

"You need to wake up Twilight."

For Twilight Celestia's voice began to change sounding exactly like Discord. She took a step away from her teacher. "No this isn't happening again. THIS ISN'T A DREAM!"

Celestia had not changed except her voice but Discord voice came at almost in a clam and soothing voice. "Twilight whats wrong?" She tried to get closer to Twilight but was stopped by a blast of magic that hit the floor in front if her.

"STAY BACK!" Twilight barked as her horn still glowed from her magic. "STAY AWAY FROM ME DISCORD! STAY AWAY!" Twilight yelled as a bright light engulfed her.

"Twilight!" Celestia could only watch as her student vanished in front of her eyes.

Spike ran out of the other room as fast as his legs would let him. "What happen? Where's Twilight?!"

"Spike things are worse that I feared. Send a letter to Luna and tell her to meet me in the main hall of the castle."

Twilight had reappear in the sculpture garden. Twilight still shaken from what had happened moments ago. She looked around in disbelief everything was exactly as her dream. She walked slowly down the same path as her dream but this time there was no one there only her and the statues. She continued on the path making her way to where Discord's statue was in her dream. She could already see the statue where Discord was in her dream but something didn't seem right about the statue it seemed different. As she got closer more details could be seen of the statue its seemed smaller than she remembered. When she got close enough to clearly see the statue in full detail Twilight stopped and gasped at what she saw. There in front of her stood a statue but not of Discord but Celestia.
