It was evening; Discord had finished his dinner and headed towards his chambers. He was escorted by some royal guards just in case he tried to do something mischievous.After entering his room, Discord walked over towards his balcony. From there, he had a great view of the great maze located in the back of the palace. While surveying the gardens, Discord heard a knock on his door, so he walked over to go answer it.
“Discord, it’s me. Lu-Lu. May I come into your chambers?”
“Why, of course!” Discord opened the door and Luna walked into the room. “How are you doing this fine evening Lu-Lu?”
“I’m doing quite well, just getting ready to raise the moon. I just wanted to stop by and ask you if you would join me later. I want to talk to you alone. How does that sound?”
“Hmm, that sounds good to me.”
Luna headed for the balcony, “I’ve told the guards that you’ll be out with me for a bit. Let me raise the moon and I’ll meet you in the gardens.”
“Alright Lu-Lu. I’ll see you there!”
Later that night, Discord found himself flying towards the gardens. While he waited on Luna to arrive, Discord looked up into the sky and saw the moon moving up into the sky. Shortly after the moon had stopped moving, Discord saw Luna making her way over to where he was.
“Hey Lu-Lu! I must say, you’ve been doing a great job raising the moon.”
Luna blushed a bit. “Oh it is nothing. Shall we walk around?”
“Yes. So, what did you want to talk about my dear Lu-Lu?”
“Well, you know that I’m the Princess of the Night. I’ve seen your dreams. I know what your fear is.”
“Wait, you’ve been in my dreams? Then you know my secret?”
“I’m sorry for intruding, but yes. I do know your secret.”
“I just don’t want to lose her. She means everything to me. I’m afraid to ask her out.”
“Trust me Discord, you won’t lose her. She has spent the last thousand years trying to get you back so you could be together once more. You’ve been a great friend to both of us."
They stopped walking and sat at a bench in the gardens.
“Loki…Does this name sound familiar to you Discord?”
Discord shook his head.
“Well let me tell you where that came from…"
Luna began to recollect the first time she had met Discord for the first time.
Celestia and Luna were wandering around Equestria. They were always eager befriend new visitors that would enter Equestria. One day they noticed a draconequus family; they were headed to a nearby village. The two alicorns flew towards the family.
“Hello, my name is Celestia and this is my sister, Luna. We would like to welcome you to our land!” Both Celestia and Luna smiled at the family.
“Well, thank you for welcoming us! My name is Farbaut, this is my wife, Laufey and my son, Loki.”
Loki looked at the two alicorns, he had never seen ponies in his life. He was very eager to meet new people.
“Hi! My name is Loki. I’m new here!”
“Well, hello Loki. Welcome to our land! I’ll let you settle down first. Why don’t you come to our home and have supper? We love having company over!” Celestia pointed her hoof toward their home.
Loki’s father smiled at the two alicorns. “We’ll take you up on that offer. Thanks!”
Celestia was in charge of cutting up the ingredients while Luna was taking care of cooking the food. Suddenly, Celestia stopped cutting.
“Sister, why did you stop cutting?”
Celestia giggled, “Loki seems like a cute pony.”
“Oh Sis, at least try to befriend him first. He doesn’t know anybody here except for us.”
“You’re right Sis, but it’s time for me to find myself a special somepony that cares for me.”
“I know but take it slow, you don’t to scare the poor guy.”
“Okay…”
Loki and his family had recently bought a home in Equestria. They left their old home due to famine. Their lands had been dry for many years, families we’re dying of hunger. Luckily, his parents saved enough for the trip and the home.
They opened the door to their new home. It was a small house with only two rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a small living room. Loki ran into his new room, and with a snap of his fingers he unpacks his stuff. Most of his stuff was magic items. He was a bit of a magician and a trickster, but he wanted to leave that behind since he had a new beginning and some new friends.
His father knocked on his door, “So, how do you like it son?”
“I love it dad. I have some more space to practice my magic!”
“I’m glad that you were okay with the move. Get yourself ready for supper.”
“I will dad! See you in a bit!” Loki went into the bathroom and took a shower.
“Hold on a sec Lu-Lu! My real name is Loki? I thought it was Discord?”
“Yes, your name is Loki. We called you Discord because it was a nickname we gave you. Since you called us Celly and Lu-Lu, we gave you one as well.”
“Ah, one more question. I had parents?”
“You did, they were the nicest beings that I have ever met.”
“Why can’t I remember them then?”
“It’s your amnesia. Your memory has been erased. Those memories will come back to you in due time. For now, I just wanted to see if you remembered who you truly are.”
“Okay, Luna…” He shed a tear; he wanted to know who his parents were.
“I think we should head back before Celly suspects something.” Luna flew up to her chambers and Discord teleported to his room. After arriving back in his room, Discord yawned and layed down on his bed and went to sleep knowing tomorrow would be a new day.
Celestia was waiting for Luna to return, and Luna was surprised to see her sister there.
“Sister, may I ask what you’re doing here?”
“I was just coming to check in on you and noticed you were out. What were you doing out so late?”
“Nothing much Sis, I was just taking a stroll in the garden.”
“Just give it up Luna. You were with him weren’t you?”
Luna sighed, “Yes, I was. It was for a good reason. I think we might have Loki back.”
When Luna said Discord’s former name, it send chills down Celestia’s spine. She hadn’t heard that name in ages. “You told him his birthname? I thought we agreed we’d never mention that to him. I don’t want him to be emotionally wrecked! Please tell you didn’t mention his parents…”
“Slip of the tongue?”
Celestia facehoofed, “Luna, what have you done! There’s a reason why we locked those memories up: so that he wouldn’t remember his parents! ”
“I’m sorry Tia, but we had to tell him sooner or later! We couldn’t just kept it from him.”
“Did you tell him my impression of him that night he arrived?”
Luna whistled.
“You did, didn’t you? Gah! I’m going to bed now! Goodnight!” She was furious with Luna. She didn’t want Discord to know about her feeling for him yet; it was too early in the process. She was talking it slowly; she didn't want to ruin anything. After making it into her room, Celestia lay in her bed and went to sleep thinking about what the future held.
