//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Revelations: Discords Ascension // by Thunder Chaser //------------------------------// Twilight had spent two days isolated from her friends, reading nearly every book in her library. Yet the only indivdual who had ever generated chocolate milk was Discord, his tradmark chocolate milk rainfalls punctuating her memory of that adventure. Yet that made no sense unless...Discord had escaped and was disquiesed as Trixie! Twilight ran out of the door, finding the fastest chariot driver she could find and paying for a trip to Canterlot Gardens. The trip raced by as her thoughts wandered, what would she do if he was gone?As soon as she arrived, she leapt out of the window and ran into the gardens. Before being stopped by the Discord Statue. She was shocked by how unchanged it was, still in the pose he was last time, the garden pristine as usual. Laughing a bit, Twilight wandered back to find that the chariot had left. Shrugging off the inconvenience she walked into a nearby inn and paid for a night, falling asleep easily, knowing Discord was still in stone. Screwball flew through the dark night on her hat into the garded towards the statue. Looking up sadly she asked "when are you coming out of their daddy?" pleadingly "Soon my dear, soon.Once Trixie fools the stupid citizens of this town and our fellows are in the majority, the stone will crack, as the prophecy dictates. Than we will truly 'make it rain'". A voice emanated "Daddy, why cant I just dupe the masses?" Screwball pleaded "Because you lack the magical capacity and frankly your not pretty enough." the voice said callously Screwball looked down sadly, tears beginning to well up in her eyes. She had already heard her dad call Trixie the "daughter he never had" and now this. Screwball felt nothing but massive jealousy and simply said through her tears "Goodbye Daddy." before running off to the city to her tiny apartment. Twilight awoke to see Celestia standing in her room looming over her bed. Mildly startled she asked "What are you doing in her?" nervously "Twilight we need to talk, you know of this pony, am I right." holding up a photo of Trixie. "Yeah thats Trixie why?" Twilight asked. "Look Twilight, Trixies converted the entire town to her 'Order of the Silver Goat', shes been conducting miracles beyond our abilities and shes been challenging our authority, last night the whole town converted, while your friends escaped and are on their way, those who refused to conform were shot." Celestia said sullenly "Oh dear, youll have to send the Royal Guard!" Twilight said, stricken by the deaths of who knows how many ponies, either their bodies or their souls were dead. Deeply worried, Celestia continued her talk. "Look Twilight, Trixie isnt an ordinary cult leader,shes fulfilling the Prophecy of The Ursa Major?" "Whats that" Twilight asked, feeling dumb. "It stated that when the end of the world was ahead, a charismatic leader who appears to know the path to salvation will come around and try to show us the way, once his numbers reach a large number (its never specified) Discord will be united from his tomb and NightMare will appear riding in a chariot with four Unicorns each destroying Equestria in its own way" she said pausing to breathe "Lunas already dissapeared and The Discord Statue dissapeared this morning. "Oh No." Twilight said
