Desire: Prologue

Prologue

'Chaos, such a wonderful thing', thought Discord as he breathed the smell of fear and confusion in the air, amused as he saw fire sprites swimming in mounts of hay, fishes soaring throughout the sky and flocks of birds crawling on the ground.

After acknowledging that all of the elements of Harmony had been defeated, even Twilight Sparkle, he had taken his time to observe chaos spreading, from the frozen north to the Griffon kingdom before he had to return to his own self appointed Capitol city, he was now way south of ponyville, a town whose name he did not care to remember, memories of his past defeat assaulted him as if it was the prediction of coming events, that made him shiver, what if they managed to lock him away in stone?, or send him to the moon? He was mostly sure he was going to win, but in the event of his defeat, a safety had to be ensured.

After all being locked in stone all while being conscious was terrible as it was, Celestia and Luna had been most cruel to him, he only had gotten out of it, by gathering negative energies from the ones that ventured near his statue, mostly young Phillies in school walks and Celestia's own disdain and anger towards him, blaming him for her sister's... improvement.

Discord's thoughts were interrupted as he saw a chocolate coloured unicorn, with a dark mane crossing the town, trying to help and return things to normal, 'how boring' thought Discord 'trying to set things back to normalcy, must be one of those goody two hoofs you see nowadays'

Soon an earth pony cut the unicorn's way, this one was orange in colour, blond mane, and had angry jade eyes; they discussed, and the chocolate one used some magic on himself, did a pair of quick steps, with a speed that surprised the draconequus, now that was interesting, he looked throughout their souls to see that the unicorn had a great affinity with magic, but the earth pony was an even more special, his soul was a dark void made of jealousy, pain, with a core of pure loneliness.

"This could be it, if for some reason those meddling elements of Harmony return they could very well defeat me, even though I had tried this once and failed, if for some reason I could get someone to spread Chaos after I am gone I could be revived or be freed from my imprisonment, but now I will not use a pure hearted pony to inject my powers in" memories of a discussion he had with Luna came back in a flash, the things he had said took roots deep in her heart, soon after his imprisonment she came to be known as Nightmare Moon "He will make a great disciple, but alone he could not win, he would need something else, some assistance."

Discord approached the blond colt, and after a short discussion, a flash of power and a few instructions Discord left to ponyville, with a grin showing on his face, now he just needed to act his part if everything where to go downhill, and wait, just wait.
