"You look just like him, you know."
I look up from my drawing.
"What?"
"Your father," says Luna. "Different eyes, but...the same, mostly,"
"I....do...?"
"I knew him. Perhaps not as well as I knew your mother, but I knew him. And loved him, for a time."
What am I supposed to say to that? Luna loved my father for a while? Awkward.
"Would you tell me who he is?"
"I'm sorry, but Tia told me I was not to speak of it to you." 
"What else did Mum tell you?"
"That you would not be allowed to leave Canterlot Castle grounds."
I sigh. Trust Mum to tell everypony that mattered.
"Why don't you go out into the gardens? There are some interesting statues out there."
The gardens were forbidden too. But now I could say I had the permission from one of the Princesses!
I walk outside to the gardens and stop.
That statue....
I walk up to it. It's a draconequus statue. But it looks like it's breaking apart. Around the bottom, on the platform he stood on, is carved:

DISCORD, GOD OF CHAOS, FATHER OF HIS SON DIONYSUS AND HIS DAUGHTER SCREWBALL

"Dionysus!"
I whip around. Celestia. Damn.
"Mum, I..."
"WHAT are you doing in the Canterlot Gardens! You KNOW you are not allowed in here! You have disobeyed my orders. Go to your room while I think up a fitting punishment for you."
"I'm sorry, I just-"
"GO TO YOUR ROOM, DIONYSUS!"
I grudgingly walk up to my room. I hear laughter, and turn back. Celestia is staring in horror and...happiness? at the Discord statue.
"Mum?"
"Go....go to your room, Dionysus..."
I walk up to my room. Who is this Discord? Who is Screwball? And why was Mum so afraid and joyful when she heard that laugh?
If this 'Discord' is in fact my dad, then I know for a fact that I need to contact this Screwball and warn her of our father.

Done!! You guys didn't have to wait that long because I'm a procrastinator and I have a lot of homework. There is a picture of Dionysus on my deviantART here: http://bleachedraptor.deviantart.com/art/Dionysus-336156736
