Chapter 25
I surveyed the scene below. After he lost his shield, Discord was hit with the full blast of the rainbow. A Discord statue now lay in the center of a small crater below. Good.
Bam. Zooming back across the forest, I look down to the familiar meadow. Back to normal.
Setting down, I walk over to my 'sitting stump'. I think about what happened.
The timeline must have changed slightly because of something I did! Because of me, Twilight and her friends were going to be killed by Discord! Killed!
And, he had more power than before! Harmony couldn't hurt him; it took me to do that. So it stands to reason that the changeling army and queen could be much more violent and powerful too! Because of me!
If anypony dies because of me, I will never forgive myself. I screwed up my life on earth. I won't screw up others here!

I worked on a better house over the next few weeks. It's more of a shed now. I've noticed the animals are more friendly towards me. I replicated a birdsong,
attracting several birds.
Days flew by, and I fell into a routine. Wake up, train, eat, sleep. The same thing every day. I had found the ultimate training area in those flatlands. Partially open space, partially rocky, and a cliff face on one side. I became very good at using my magic. I started to develop reflexes around it.
After the third week, I began checking on Twilight daily, knowing she would be getting the invitation to her brothers wedding soon.

I nearly missed the arrival of the letter. I was checking on the six ponies as usual, when Spike came running to them. Holding a pair of scrolls. I tuned in to their voices.
"-re cordially invited to the union of princess Mi Amoré Kadenza and...MY BROTHER?!?"
They don't know it yet, but war has begun.
