A long, long time ago, when the sun and moon was raised by unicorns, there was a little village full of happy ponies. The happiest were probably the ones who lived in the little wooden house at the top of the smallest hill at the end of town, where the forest began. It was a young couple, a humble butcher and a beautiful housewife. But the housewife kept lots of secrets, like how she stole some things from the shops in town and how she cheated on her husband when he was out of town. The housewife never believed in consequences, so she continued to do bad things. Little did she know someone was watching, someone of great power… And chaos
One day, the housewife was in the forest collecting berries. Sun came through the trees and gave a yellow, sun-colored dapple to her white coat. Her bubblegum pink hair was in a tight bun and sweat trickled down her forehead. Soon the housewife began to sing:
“I loved my family
I loved my friends,
But I also love power
with devilish deeds my power ascends,
I was tempted by the devil,
He gave me it all that day
But with one small price,
my daughter had to pay.
One day my daughter came into the kitchen,
Tears streamed down her face.
She said she had dreams of power too
She said she killed a man and the family name was now a disgrace
She said she was tempted by the devil
He gave her it all that day
But with one small price,
Now I had to pay
My daughter began to cry again
And I asked her why
She picked up the knife and muttered
Now you have to die
She was tempted by the devil
power and greed stole my beautiful girl
Never make deals with the Devil
Because there's a price to being a pearl”
The housewife lifted her head out of the berry bush. She had never heard that song, and wondered how that came to her mind so quickly. As she was about to go back home, some sort of monster stopped her in her path. He was truly ugly, with the head of a gray pony, the body of a brown pony and a snake tail. He had a large tooth the stuck out of his mouth and two mix-matched horns, one a blue horn that belonged on a goat and a white one on the left side of his head from a deer. What should have been his front, right hoof was a chicken foot and his front, left limb was a lion's paw. The strange creatures back left leg was some sort of dragon's leg; while his right leg belonged on a goat (which might I say matched his goatee and horn). He had a white goatee and long white eyebrows. His eyes were like looking into insanity; what was supposed to be the white's in his eyes was a pussy yellow color while his iris was a bloodred. He stood on his two back legs instead of all fours. "Hello," growled the creature as he wore a charming smile.
His tooth jutted out to the side as he smiled and he held out his lion paw to shake her hoof. The housewife hesitated at first but then lifted her hoof for the strange, yet handsome in way, creature to shake it. He started to shake it rapidly, but then his paw stayed on her hoof as he walked off to the side. She screamed, and shook his paw off. "Who in Equestria are you?!" she yelled running up to him.
The creature snapped his fingers, and then the trees began to fly up towards the sky spelling Discord. "I'm Discord, spirit of chaos," Discord chuckled as he grabbed a few berries from the bush.
"What are these? Blueberries?" he then threw the blueberries up in the air and sent them flying at the pretty mare's mouth. She reluctantly chewed, then spit the fruits out as they hit her taste buds.
"Why do they taste like strawberries?!" the housewife demanded with a mix of confusion, anger and impression.
"As I said, I’m the Spirit of Chaos." Discord pulled out and umbrella as the trees began to rain bunnies.
"Aren't they adorable, Rosemary?" cooed the Spirit of Chaos as grabbed one of the falling bunnies and shoved one into her face.
"How do you know my name?!" screamed Rosemary backing up.
Discord rolled his eyes. "Spirits know everything, duh! Now tell me if this bunny if cute!" His lion paw flew off again and shoved the bunny right back in her face.
Rosemary was about answer a dull "no" when the bunny grew fangs and jumped off of Discord's paw. "Stop this! Stop this right now!" She demanded stomping her hoof.
"But where's the fun in that?" chuckled Discord as he twisted his body around.
Rosemary dropped to the ground, covered her head with her hoofs and screamed. Discord rolled his eyes then snapped his fingers, and everything was back to normal. "Wow, you sure do take the fun out of everything Rosemary!"
"Why are you here?!" yelled the mare standing up again.
"Because you have been being naughty, is that correct?"
Rosemary blushed and used one of her front legs to scratch her other leg. "I guess…"
"But why?" asked the spirit.
"I-I… I want the attention." confessed Rosemary drooping her head.
"And that's why I'm here, sweetie. I can give you the world!" discord swirled his chicken hand around and a map of Equestria. Soon the map crumpled and turned into a paper model of Rosemary.
"What's the cache?" she murmured, her eyes switching from Discord to the paper her.
"You've got me!" sighed Discord, throwing his hands in the air and snapping his fingers to get rid of the paper Rosemary. "I just need your first daughter."
Rosemary didn't know how to respond, she and her husband Dark Chop always wanted a little girl, then again they could always have more. "If you want my fist daughter then you shall have it!"
Discord then went into a laughing fit and fell on the ground. "You-You thought I wanted your daughter!? Priceless!!"
Rosemary looked at her hoofs and shook her head in confusion. "But you said you wanted my fist daughter!"
Discord got back up. "I just need the little girl's soul, her personality basically, maybe her sanity and mercy."
Rosemary didn't completely understand, but she still agreed.
"Are you sure?" muttered the spirit, "Everything has consequences"
"I don't believe in that mumbo-jumbo" said Rosemary turning her nose up.
"Well I'll give you some good news then, I promise you your daughter will be great."
Rosemary immediately ran home wearing a smile after hearing that.
Rosemary came home that night looking much different then when she left. Her tight bun was now a loose ponytail with many wispy strands of hair hanging out. Her elegant white coat now had lots of mud and dirt on it, and she was smiling like a maniac. Rosemary left her baskets out in the forest.
Her husband, Dark Chops, came into the main hall to greet his wife. Dark Chops was a tall, muscular stallion. He had a black coat with a dark blue and purple mane and tail. "Sweetie what happened? Where are the baskets? Did you get mugged?!"
Rosemary silenced her lover with a kiss. "No honey, nothing like that…" the pretty mare didn't know where to begin."I'll tell you over tea," smiled Rosemary as she trotted into the kitchen.
The marshmallow colored earth pony told her husband about the strange spirit named Discord, she also told him how he turned the Forest upside-down and changed it back to normal with the snap of his fingers. Rosemary had great fun telling her husband the whole story, but reluctantly told him the part about their daughter. The dark earth pony put his head in his hoofs. "Why.."
"He said that she'll be great!" said Rosemary putting her hoof on her lover's shoulder.
"But how can you trust him?!" Dark Chops yelled, standing up from his old yet comfortable blue chair.
"I don't know, I really don't. I would understand if you left me right now.. But I just knew that he was telling the truth!" whinnied Rosemary from her dark pink chair that matched her husband’s.
The sitting room was dead silent for a long time. Rosemary felt like she should have said something but she could never find the right words. She glanced from the wooden table, to the fireplace, to her husband's chair, and to her teacup. After awhile Dark Chops sighed, "I guess I believe you."
The mare squealed with happiness. "Let's go upstairs, right now."
Rosemary ran up up the steps to their bed room her husband following happily behind. I know I can trust Discord... Right?
