Chaos of the Moon Chapter 1
A special thanks goes out to Dragonz Wrath as my editor. You helped me a lot. I do not own My Little Pony but I do own Chaos. He’s my OC.
‘This is thought’
“This is speech”
Chaos walked on all fours along a dirt path hewn from the Poison Joke around him in the Everfree Forest. His eagle claw and lion paw hurt a bit, having been walking for the last few hours. A few Manticores and an Ursa Major notice him but do not ensue upon him. Not because he was encroaching on their territories, but because of his appearance. His form was identical to his father but he was colored to a similar palate as his mother.
He was long and windy, his well-muscled frame and body flowing like a snake. His midnight blue tail tuff against his sapphire blue snake tail scales gave an ominous look to it. His deep sea blue fur around his body was foreboding, powerful looking. His right dragon leg and clawed foot were a mixed blue and green, sort of a mint color and his left equine leg and hoof where a darkened gray. The hoof though, was a near silver white color, shining brightly against his dark color scheme. His left Pegasus wing and right bat wing were identical to his fathers’: a cyan Pegasus wing and a gray-violet bat wing. His front eagle claw was a flat blue and his lion paw a bright red. His neck fur was a vibrant white with small black stars twinkling in it. His short donkey mane was pitch black and atop his equally white head was a light blue unicorn horn and a slightly tan deer antler. The antler was a 6 point and the unicorn horn had some knots in it, as though it was stretched out and then knots tied into it. He looked fearsome and intriguing, his black and red misshapen irises housed in yellow eyes making his appearance and look even more daunting, explicitly more than he had originally wanted. His bushy white eyebrows and billy goat beard were the next thing on him. And finally a snaggletooth, just like his father’s, but on the left side instead.
Chaos walked along, kicking a stone as he went. He kept replaying his memories, and things he had heard, from the last few days in Manehattan to the day of his unharmonious birth and entrance into Equestria by his mother Luna. It all came back to him…
Three years ago…
Princess Luna trotted through the halls of Canterlot Castle, hurrying to her tower and to her room, hoping to see her beloved draconequus again. Her dreams came true that night, and for the first time in two thousand years, they hugged and embraced each other. It had been that long since the day that Princess’ Luna and Celestia imprisoned him in stone. Luna was reluctant to carry out the deed that needed to be done. After all, she and Discord were in a relationship behind Celestia’s back. But now that they were back together, they finally sealed their love for each other through conception. Later that day, The Elements of Harmony defeated him, sealing him in stone once again. Unbeknownst to Princess Luna, though, is that she carried the child of chaos incarnate. Slowly, as the child gestated, it became more and more noticeable to the royal guards and especially Princess Celestia. They badgered her to expose the father of the foal in her but she couldn’t; she couldn’t risk his demise at her fault.
After time, it came to be the time that Princess Luna had to deliver the foal. Celestia was present and witnessed, what she called “the abomination and disgrace of harmony”, come into the world. The moment Celestia saw Chaos, she erupted into a fit of rage. She tore through the castle and through the Royal Gardens, until she ended up in front of Discord’s statue. She turned and bucked it in the middle and it shattered to bits and mote. Princess Luna witnessed it from the delivery room, for it had a window to the Royal Gardens and the labyrinth. She wept terribly, knowing that now Discord could never come back. Celestia was ashamed of her younger sister, but allowed her to keep and nurture the “thing” until he was weaned off of milk.
Luna named the baby Chaos, and was the happiest mare in all of Equestria. Celestia never spoke a word to anyone about the love child nor showed him any affection. Luna loved and cared for him and taught him as much as possible, but never got the time to teach him magic. Chaos’ snaggletooth and a few other teeth developed a few days before his first birthday and had been weaned a week earlier. One day, Princess Luna took him to Manehattan and took him to the park. She explained what had to happen and cried bitterly at what she was about to do. She kissed his forehead one last time and departed in a swirl of blue magic, gone from his life.
Present Day….
He had lived everywhere in the last two years; Canterlot, Manehattan, Appaloosa; Cloudsdale was out of the question cause although he could fly, clouds weren’t solid, so without magic, he would fall through. All that was left was Ponyville, the Changeling Empire, and the Everfree Forest. The Changeling Empire was on a remote oasis in the middle of a huge desert, too far away to travel or even try to find. So that left Ponyville and the forest. Every other civilized town he went to, he was bucked or run out of town. ‘Why risk more heart ache in another town. Well, to the forest.’
He arrived at the forest as the sun was setting on Equestria. The day gave rise to the night, as his mother’s beautiful and awe-inspiring work opened up above him. The moon rose lazily over the horizon and he smiled. He built a small shelter to tuck in for the night and when scavenging for dinner. He picked some grass and some safe sweet tasting vines. He ate his salad slowly, gazing at the night and thinking about the one who raised it. He missed his mother so much.
Chaos could remember many times when he would watch his mother raise the night as Aunt Celestia’s day ended. He remembered when his mother held him close to herself, not wanting to let him go. To Luna, he was the living memory of Discord to her and he was her last and most precious gift given to her from Discord. He began to lightly cry, thinking about how long it had been since he had last seen his mom. Two years. ‘Has it really been that long?’ he thought to himself. Chaos finished his salad and slept the best he could, smiling happily once again at the fact he was sleeping underneath his mother’s creation.
