//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Mystery's tale // Story: Equestria Total Chaos // by purplegurl //------------------------------// Lyric flew at near sonic speed toward Canterlot “I must tell the princess about what happened out their” Lyric thought 45 minutes in later Near exhaustion, Lyric neared Canterlot. It was now dawn; Princess Luna must have just lowered the moon. Lyric changed course to head toward the castle, just that simple task had taken what little energy she had left. It had been a long, exhausting day that with no sleep through the night, and the night before was restless. Upon reaching the castle, guards, as usual were surrounding the castle. Lyric had tried to tell them that she needed to speak with the princess, and that the fate of Equestria depended on it, but they only replied that the princess was not taking hearing until noon, and to come back later. Lyric wouldn’t take no for an answer, she flew over the gates and almost immediately tailed by dozens of guards. “Land immediately, you are in restricted air space.” one guard shouted. Lyric ignored this request. Guards were gaining on her, with what little energy she had left she speed up enough to reach the doors of the thrown room, which is where she was met by several dozens of guards, lead by none other than Shining armor. Lyric came to a halt; she knew that she couldn’t try to get past them. “It’s a matter of the fate of Equestria. Please, let me talk to the princess.” Lyric tried to persuade them, for what she was saying was true. Of course this didn’t work, as expected. She hadn’t given up yet though, she may be sleep deprived, but she still had determination. The princess, meanwhile, had been relaxing drinking her morning cup of tea, when the commotion outside the thrown room door started. Figuring that she might as well go see what’s going on, for there were guards yelling, and somepony screaming at them. The door opened the princess looking at every thing going on “what’s going on here?” this made Lyric stop dead in her tracks. “nothing to worry about your highness, we will handle this. “princess I have terrible news from the expedition team!” “and what may that be?” Celestia questioned “well it’s kind of along story.” “guards I think I can handle it from here.” the guards bowed and resumed to their stations. … “And Discord and somepony named Psychotic-twist plan to…” “I know Take over all of Equestria” Celestia said with a sigh “you see, Psychotic-twist is my sister, nopony knows about her for she was wiped from the memories of all ponies, and unwritten from the text books. Psychotic-twist isn’t her real name either, her real name is Mystery, or at least, that’s what everypony called her. Mystery was banished while still a bit young, for she had met Discord, and had fallen in love.” Lyric then asked “but wasn’t Discord banished by the elements of harmony?” “yes he was, but we will get to that later.” Celestia replied she the continued “Mystery and Discord, had a forbidden love, every night, they would sneak out to see each other. But falling for Discord had influenced her. His magical and chaotic ways fascinated her. But for every spell she learnt, only made her fall into the darkness, day by day getting deeper. Eventually our mother had found out, and she was furious. Mother had then for bayed her from seeing Discord. But by then it was to late, the darkness had corrupted her, and her love for him was strong now. Mystery grew enraged, and lashed out, almost destroying Canterlot completely, with her new found ways. Luna and I teamed up, using the elements of harmony, and our combined wits, we managed to banish Mystery and Discord. Knowing Mystery, she always had a twist; she would find a way to escape before her banishment was over. And now that she has been released, she is still outraged at us all, she will return to destroying Equestria.” Celestia sighed and started to write a letter to her faithful student, Twilight. “hey Tia what is going on? To whom art thou talking?” Luna said walking in the room. “Luna, you remember Mystery.” “why would we not? She hath destroyed Canterlot, many thousand years past. ” “well Luna, it looks like she has returned, with Discord.”
