Oh ho ho ho! So, you want to learn about Discord? The Spirit of Chaos, the being who was very close to overthrowing the royal sisters, and now is an ally to Equestria. Or maybe not. You can never tell with tricksters. But the question on everyone’s lips is, where did he come from? Well, I have a tale that highlights my theory about where he came from.
“Once upon a time, two souls sparked into existence at the same time. They had no physical forms yet but they clashed with each other, trying to one-up the other, while also coexisting with one another, understand one another, but never really interacting, as it could lead to the destruction of them both.
“Soon, one of the souls manifested itself into a seed, which was planted by 6 powerful ponies. The other soul couldn’t believe what they were seeing and went off to a far off land, one it had created where gravity is weird and creatures of chaos roam. The soul sat in a cave, curling itself up in a ball. The soul hated the other, but now that the other soul had a physical form, they were all alone. All alone to sulk.
“Years went by and the soul started to grow. A deer antler on the right, a blue goat horn on the left, one long fang, and different-sized pupils. A snake tongue, a goat beard, white bushy eyebrows.The right arm of a lion, the left claw of an eagle. The right leg of a lizard, and the left leg of a goat. A bat's right-wing, a Pegasus' left-wing. Finally, horse's mane, and a dragon-like snake's tail with a white tail tuft.
“After those hundreds of years of growing, the sprite awoke from his sulking slumber and looked at himself. He was an abomination. And he loved it. He gave himself a name, one that represented his desire to spread chaos throughout the land: Discord.
“Discord set out back to the land of Equestria, looking for his old ‘friend’. On his search, he finds ponies tribes, together and enjoying the harmony. He couldn’t have that. Thus begins Discord’s reign of chaos and unrest, and I have a feeling you know how that story goes.”
That’s all for this chapter. I hope you enjoyed my tale. Would you like to listen to another?
