Discord watched as the little filly ran by, giggling slightly maniacally.
He had sensed God Magic originating from Ponyville, and had hurried to get there, sure that one of the others had resurfaced after millennial.
It took him a bit, but he finally realized what was going on.
A time loop.
Starlight and Twilight's daughter was stuck in a time loop, had been for ages. He wondered how many times this exact situation had played out, with him sensing the magic and following the threads to the young mortal.
It was clear that Astral was playing an unwitting host, an unfortunate role if there ever was one.
Discord sighed.
I may need to have a little talk with Kronos.
