//------------------------------// // Prologue - Beginning of the end // Story: Before there was chaos // by Filox //------------------------------// “Bye, dear Fluttershy, thank you for hosting me today,” said Discord as he put on his fedora and walked towards the door. “The pleasure is mine, Discord, shall see you again next Tuesday,” Fluttershy replied as she lead him to the entrance. “Ah…” Discord’s grin suddenly disappeared, yet he didn’t let her see it. ”Right, see you next Tuesday, Fluttershy,” he shouted back as he flew out of her cottage. They waved to each other before Discord snapped his claw. A sudden flash of light later he was high above Ponyville, staring all around him, looking closely at everything he could see. As he was gazing at the world beneath him he saw lights in Twilight’s castle. “More books, Princess Bookworm? I really can’t understand where do you keep them all.” Discord chuckled to himself. “Well, you have always been the strange one even for my standards.” He giggled to himself once again. “Hope you liked the life you lived, because it’s gonna end soon.” Discord’s smile disappeared. He closed his eyes, lowered his head and even shed a tear as he started flying toward the Crystal Empire. “It was a good world…”.  Lights all over Ponyville started fading as he flew further away. Finally, even the light in the castle of Princess of Friendship died off. After a short time he arrived at the Crystal Empire. Admiring its greatness from high above. “Good job Princess of Love, I always knew you were good ruler. But I’m afraid it doesn’t matter anymore. Hope you won’t suffer much”, Discord looked behind the Empire as he spotted the wall of pure black slowly shifting towards it.  “Hello again, it seems you came back much faster this time, and yet you are moving so slow on on this land. I wonder is it the cause of the overflowing essences in Equestria or something about Celestia warding magic. Well, shall look at this later, not like it could be stopped, but for now I has to speed it up so they won’t suffer as much.”, Discord straightened his arms in front of him and grasped the air holding it tightly.  “Well, here it goes.”, he pulled his arms strongly to himself and at the same time the wall started moving much faster only to slow down a second later still devouring and absorbing everything on it’s path. “You really can’t do better old fool?”, he shouted at himself.  “Every time you lead the growth of all kinds of all worlds and when it comes to it you can’t even end it swiftly? What guardian are you?”, he mocked himself. After the while he calmed down.  “Okay Diccy, start acting proper for once in this world. This ends now, there is still a lot of to improve although for the next time. At first I must find out how to extend even more the time before the rebound effect...”, he looked as the wall slowed when collide with castle of Cadence.  “ I'm sorry little one..., hope you won’t have to see the end it…”.
