//------------------------------// // Friendship is Chaos, Part 3 // Story: Reality Rewritten // by Khanathara //------------------------------// Their time out on the town was surprisingly calm considering who was involved, until they came across a pony standing on a box preaching about the evils of dark and chaos magic and how it should be outlawed. It was a common thing that all of them have heard before because of the corruptive quality's of magic. Something that these ponies liked to ignore how ever was that all types of magic was corruptive. All types of magic tended to bend the mind, and even body if used to much, of those who used them to match the over all way the magic worked. It is also the reason that all legal mages were required to go to mental and physical check ups at least once a month, the more powerful and active users like Discord often went once a week. And even ignoring those facts the world works on a system of balance, meaning that all types of magic have to have equal use or the harmony of the world would be thrown off. The Everfree Forest came into being because both dark and chaos magic used to be illegal. This form of ignorance was one of the best ways to get under Discords skin as he was primarily a chaos mage but was also an active practitioner of all types of magic, and has had personal experience with almost all types of corruption. Hence what happened next. "Do you even have any idea what your talking about?!" Discord shouted out cutting off the young preacher. "All forms of magic have there own forms of corruption, it doesn't matter if it's light, dark, chaos, or healing magic. They all have there own affects on the wielder. All that matters in the end is what kind of person the wielder is!" "Oh?" the preacher started. "Then how do you explain The Day Breaker? Or Blazing Torch, Sombra? How about Pandemonium?" "Day Breaker is a legend and in his story he never used dark or chaos magic, Blazing Torch was a Pyromancer, which means she used fire magic, Sombra is another legend and used Shadow magic and was the GOOD gut in his story. And last but not least Pandemonium is a statue in the royal gardens so to show the dangers of using chaos magic to much. The same way Guiding Light, a HOLY magic user and the worst tyrant and terrorist in the history of the world, has a statue to show the corruption of holy magic." Discord spouted out like water out of a broken fire hydrant. "W-well, you see... U-umm, I-" The preacher tried to respond but cut him self off and ran, leaving the box he was standing on behind. "That's what I thought" Discord snorted. "Well you showed him what for." Fizzlepop stated. "Now where are we going?" "I don't know." Discord shrugged. "I was following you." "What? But we were following you!" Starlight all but shouted. "Oops..." After getting reoriented, thanks to Fizzlepop, they found their way to the local open air mall. Then proceeded to drag Discord everywhere and make him pay for everything as punishment for dragging them on this trip with him, not to mention he was also carrying almost everything as well. "Uhg, mares am I right or am I right." Discord heard a voice say from next to him. After he moved the bags so he could see he saw Antijam walking next to him with a cocky grin. "What are you doing here?" He asked her. She cast a suspicious glance back and forth then whispered "I'm a secret agent working to bring down a drug lord." Discord raised an eyebrow at her, still with a cocky smug grin on her face. "Suuurrrre, and I'm here to bring down an ancient threat to pony kind." He said with a roll of his eyes. "I know. Fun, right?" She responded without missing a beat. "Anyway, I was in the area and saw you and your girlfriend," She paused looking ahead of them. "Or should I say girlfriends walking around and figured I'd say hey." "They/I am not their/his boy/girlfriend!" Discord said with amusement, while the two mares and one dragon shouted as they had noticed the addition to the group and started listening in on the conversation. "He hatched my egg and practically raised me! Why would I think of him like that?!" Opal continued on. "Yeah, and I have my eye on someone else." Starlight finished. Everyone was expecting something from Fizzlepop as well, but, when nothing came they turned to see her doing an impression of a tomato instead. "Y-yeah and he's really a-annoying." Fizzlepop added when she noticed everyone looking at her. "Well if he's free then I'm taking him with me." Antijam said, flicking his horn to make his magic aura drop the items he was carrying, and swiftly guiding him away with a wing before anyone could argue. The girls stared in shock as they walked away.
