//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: Born of Chaos // by forgottenscholar //------------------------------// Chapter Five Princess Luna sighed tiredly as she reached out with her magic to lower the sun. Her entire day had been hectic; mornings filled with whiny ponies complaining over every little thing, a brief break for lunch, her afternoon had been occupied by the council members explaining how the lands were coming along since Discord had come along. This had made her secretly grin in pleasure as she heard of her loves’ exploits; and in only two and a half days no less! And now, as she had promised her sister, she was lowering the sun and raising her gorgeous moon. She was half-tempted to just leave her moon up all the time from now on and not lower it tomorrow, but she thought that might raise suspicions. Better to play along just a bit more and make sure hers and Discords victory was secured. “Just over thirty hours remain my dear.” She whispered as she raised the moon to its rightful place in the heavens. “Yes. Thirty hours and forty-two minutes to be exact.” Luna jumped and spun as the voice came out of nowhere from behind her. She instantly relaxed, however, as soon as she saw that it was Discord who had spoken. She threw her fore-legs around him and kissed him deeply. She sat there for a second or two, letting their lips stay locked, before she suddenly pulled back. “Oh! I’m sorry! That was so... I mean, I shouldn’t have been so forward.” Discord grinned. If only she knew that the roses he had given her actually had an aphrodisiacal smell of a kind that they gave off, hence her more forwardness and intense feelings even though they had only met a couple days ago. Just to make sure she was his. “No, not at all, I understand completely.” He hugged her to him in a “warm” embrace. “You do?” Luna practically melted in his arms and sighed happily. He was too good for her, how could she even have found someone this amazing? Discord pulled away and looked at her, at the dragon eyes he had given her, and at her light blue mane. That actually puzzled him a bit. “Luna,” He started, “Forgive me if I’m wrong but, you and Celestia are sisters, correct?” Luna looked at him. “Yes.” “And you are both alicorns?” Luna nodded. “Then how is it, that your sisters’ mane seems to flow, and yours is just, well, normal hair?” He curled a lock around a talon to emphasize his point. “Oh, that.” Luna giggled. “There are actually two reasons. One is that I am too young to have an alicorn mane, and two is that I actually have less magic than my sister. Her mane is actually a physical representation of her magic.” She turned and walked into her room, jumping onto her bed before she continued explaining. “You see,” She used her magic to take off her crown as Discord sat down next to her. “When an alicorn comes to a certain age, there is actually more magic in their bodies than they can deal with, and so the body actually starts to release it by itself, hence the flowing mane. I’m actually about twenty percent short of that mark.” Discord nodded. This was an interesting new development in the story. “Really?” He pondered this for a moment. ”Any idea of when you’ll come of this age?” He was already planning on stealing Celestia’s magic, but having an extra reserve never hurt, now did it? The princess shook her head. “No. Celestia came of age rather early. A few years before my current age actually. But it’s different for every alicorn.” Discord nodded. “I see. Well then,” He stood up and held out his paw to her. “Care to go for a little moonlit fly with me my Princess?” Luna placed her hoof into his paw and nodded before jumping down from her bed. “Yes Discord. I would very much like that.” With a simultaneous sweep of their wings, they both launched themselves into the cold night air. Below, the mayhem that had become most of Equestria was laid out before them like a preschoolers drawing; you really couldn’t tell what was what or where anything began or ended. Until that is, you flew over Ponyville. “Discord,” Luna wondered, “Why haven’t you touched that village yet?” Discord looked over at her. “Hmm? Oh, the village.” He slowed to a stop and turned one of the clouds into a plate of glass that they could stand on and see Ponyville through. “You’ll like this. I’m actually saving this tiny village you see. It’s going to be my crowning achievement, the icing on the cake, my piece de resistance, and the final jewel in my crown. I’m going to wait until your sister returns, and, get this, right when the final drop of sand falls through the hour glass; I’m going to change it right in front of her eyes! The look on her face is going to be priceless! The dread, the final blow of her defeat, the knowing that she will be absolutely powerless to save her ponies as I turn her village into my capital and the ponies into slaves! What fun it will be!” His laughter rang throughout the night like the howl of a jackal; taunting and wicked. Luna’s eyes widened as she heard him describe his final act of chaos to her. At first, she did feel a twinge of regret, but that was quickly stamped out by the sense of how right this all felt. But then she noticed something that he had said. “You mean our capital, of course.” He turned and looked at her, a look of pure affection in his eyes, while he cringed inwardly at the slip of his tongue. “Of course dear! I’m sorry, yes I mean our capital.” Luna smiled and nodded, content that he was telling the truth. Besides, why would he lie to her? Discord stretched his arms wide and yawned, “Well, we should probably get you home eh? I’m sure your sister is returning tomorrow and you and I both need our rest for the final twenty-four hours.” Luna grinned at her love and took off towards the castle. A dark grimace appeared on Discords face as he watched her before taking off himself. “Oh Luna, I can’t wait till tomorrow, and I get to shove everything back into that pretty face of yours.” He finally caught up with her a little ways up; the castle was just coming into sight on the horizon. “What took you?” Luna turned and asked him. The dark being only smiled at her. “Oh, nothing. Just going over some last minute details.” They reached the castle shortly after that, landing softly on the balcony so as not to alert her guards, which had been doubled since she took on the responsibilities of her sister along with her own. As Luna walked into her room, she looked back at Discord, and a wave of passion ripped through her body with such intensity, that it stopped her in her tracks, almost tripping herself in the process. The young alicorn blushed furiously at the strange and sudden images of her Discord, united in more than one way shot through her mind. What had brought on such thoughts? Discord smiled slightly to himself as he spotted the moon princesses sudden changes; the shortness of breath, dilated pupils, flushed cheeks and quivering body were all signs of one thing. He glanced over at the flowers he had given her. Well, he thought smugly, they certainly seem to work. And quickly too. Putting in a false face of concern, he walked over to her side. “Luna dear? Are you alright love?” She nodded, unable of speech as she tried to get her thoughts back into some form of working order. Discord, holding in his laughter at what was going on, placed his paw on her shoulder. “Are you sure?” That gentle touch, which Discord did on purpose of course, was enough to send Luna over the edge. She looked over at him, her turquoise eyes boring into his yellow ones. “Discord,” Her breath was heavy now, and she was panting slightly as a warmth she had never known before spread throughout her entire body. “I want you to spend the night. Here. With me.” She walked closer to him until his paw was centered square on her chest. So easy! Discords face was one of pure shock. “Luna! What are you- Are you sure? We’ve not known each other for very long...” The pony nodded. “I realize this. But I am certain of my feelings for you. And I want to be with you. In every way possible.” She backed away slowly, flapping her wings a few times as she neared her bed to hop onto it. Once there, she used her magic to remove her necklace, taking a seductive pose on top of the sheets. Discord was playing the part of the perfect gentleman though. At least for now. “Luna, I couldn’t possibly do that to you. Not right now. It wouldn’t be right.” Luna shook her head slowly and tilted her chin down, looking at Discord from underneath her lashes, giving Discord an all-too real pang of want through his own body. “No Discord. It is right. And I want you, right now.” Inside, Discord was laughing so hard it hurt at how perfect his plan was working, and all of the perks he was getting out of it in the process. Feigning hesitance still, Discord slowly walked over to the bed and crawled into the bed next to her. “If you’re sure Luna, then I’ll do this for you.” Luna’s eyes glistened with happiness and lust as she locked her lips with his. They went on together, as one, well into the night.
