Chapter 3 – Wonders of a Queen.
The feeling of teleporting is something you feel will never get normal to you. The sounds of rushing air the flashes of light and the fact you don’t understand how you could do this are reason why you can’t open your eyes.
As you feel your legs placed on the ground you continue to hold your eyes, until you hear Rainbows voice, “Twilight!?”
The throne room looks a lot different from the last time you saw it, the marble columns and stone floors are no longer white they are now a wacky pallet of colors. But you don’t really care about the room as your eyes see something more troubling than mismatch colors. Scattered across the room there are stone ponies, the ponies look like guards as you trace your eyes around the room you see something that drops your heart, Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy have been turned to stone statues.
In the center of the group Twilight is standing staring at you. Her eyes are red and she looks scared.
Looks around the room in shock, “What happened?!”
Twilight talks in a low voice, “Discord…”
Rainbow springs from the ground, “That creep wher…-“
Rainbow’s sentence is stopped as she falls to the ground, her cyan coat now grey, her rainbow life filled mane a dull lifeless stone.
You stare at her in a fear sprung paralysis.
You hear a deep ominous manly laugh echoing around the room, “You see Twilight, I told you he would come back for you.”
You look around the room trying to locate the voice but you can’t. You look at Twilight and notice her hooves are morphed into the ground and her horn is covered in stone. You stare at them, how? How could they be the stone?
The voice continues to ricochet off the walls, “…A pony driven by a promise and filled by stupidity. Honestly you would think one death is enough, hmm?”
You walk closer to Twilight but as you do the stone figures close around you. A laugh now echoes from the walls, “Ah ah, not yet.” You look at the ponies that surround you, one stands out from the others, Shining armor…some royal guard.
The laughing gets louder now, “Really? Even faced with this? You crack a joke to yourself.
You’re taken back at the voice, “You can read minds?”
You hear a poof from behind you, “Yes!”
You turn to face a Chinese dragon looking creature with mismatched animal parts. You’re quickly drawn to his eyes which are completely black, “You know, human you’re a lot of fun to kill…you know that right?”
You feel your head nodding, even though you’re not doing it.
The creature moves his face close to his, his goatee hangs from his chin now only inches from your face, “You don’t remembered me do you?”
You feel your head shake side to side. The creatures’ eyes turn a orange color and his voice lightens up, “Petty I thought this would be more fun. Oh well.” He snaps his fingers and the statues part so that you can see Twilight. She holds her head up to see you. You look back at the creature but it’s vanished.
You run over to Twilight, “Are you ok?”
She looks at you, “You…you came back?”
You give her a confused look, “What?”
The creature poofs next to you two in a laughing, “Of course he did Twilight? Just look at him, he’s stupid.”
Twilight yells at him, “Discord you have had your fun! No more games let everypony go!”
He stops laughing and smacks her in the face.
You’re quick to ram him away from her and take a defensive stance in front of her.
But he continues to laugh and point at you, “You…you think ha ha ha.” He stops laughing as he continues, “no but really…” He sways his claw and you feel yourself thrown across the room.
As you tumble in the air you feel weightless as you fly through the air, and the room looks like a mash of color but the feeling doesn't last long as you hit a stone pillar with a loud WHACK! You moan as you turn yourself over onto your back.
Twilight yells at Discord as you hear his footsteps getting closer to you, “STOP Discord!”
He turns back to her with a laugh, “Why should I? At least he is not stone.”
You feel his warm breath enter your ear as he whispers, “yet…”
You blow at his face; I want to be superpony…
Discord laughs at you, “You’re funny…so you can watch first.”
Discord turns and walks back towards Twilight, his arms happily sway past his body as he hums. You pull yourself to your hooves as you call back to him. Your voice is weak as you talk, “What…Am I to mu…-“
Your voice is cut short as your tongue turns to stone.
Twilight cries your name as your stone body stand silently in the room.
Discord puts his lion paw on her mane, “Shhh…don’t cry…you’ll be fine.” He smiles devilishly.
As he raises his hand the doors to the room fly open. “Discord!” The regal voice is stressed.
Discord floats the throne over to him as he sits, “Why hello Celestia, nice weather hmmm?”
She is unfazed by his comment, “Discord, I offer you one chance to stop.”
He taps his claw and paw together as he smiles to her, “Go on.”
Celestia lowers her horn and a bright gold light shines into the room, you feel yourself able to talk again, “..ch?” You blink your eyes furiously as you look to Discord.
Every other pony in the room still stands as a statue.
Discord laughs, “A little late Celestia, but you did get the human back.” A scoreboard appears above his head and the score reads Celestia 1 Discord over 9,000.
Celestia looks shocked as she stares at Discord, “What…what have you done?”
Twilight calls out to the Princess, “He has turned them all to stone and is planning to take over Equestria!”
Celestia look back to Discord, “But yo…-“
Celestia’s white body and shining mane quickly fade dull as she stops talking.
Twilight again lets out a scream, “WHY!”
Discord laughs again, “Oh come on Twilight being a stone is fun you ge..-“
Twilight fades from his sight and for a moment he is confused, “Twilight?”
A bolt of purple magic strikes past his face.
He dodges it and begins to laugh, “Oh yes I forgot the stupid human learn teleporting.”
You smile to him proudly as Twilight lowers her head, “Discord change everypony back!”
Discord smiles past Twilight to you, “You should remember teleporting.” He snaps his claw.
You smile at his gesture, what the hell is that supost… you fall over to the ground in pain, your body rock back and forth as every suppressed memory begins flooding your mind, every pain you have every experienced.
Discord laughs as Twilight turns back to you, “Really! No really humans have so much pent up magic that you just can’t handle. You’re a ticking time bomb that can be lit by standing too close to a dim bulb!”
Twilight puts her hooves around you, “I have already lost you once…don’t do this to me again!” Her eyes are still red from what she has already seen but now they are turning water again. You can’t hear a word she is saying but you don’t need to hear her to lie, “I..i’m ffffine.” You fake a smile as you continue to have muscle spasms.
Discord poofs an oversized clock in front of him, “Can we please wrap this up? I need to be crowned king of the land at four.”
Twilight leans her head and kisses you. As she does this you feel your mind rush slow down. Twilight’s eyes flick as she holds the kiss, a tear rolls from her cheek and onto yours. Your mind starts to clear as she breaks the kiss. She smiles at you…”I love you…”
You watch as she turns back to Discord, her legs shift as she stands, she lowers her head. A green film starts to form around her and seems to resonating from her horn.
Discord looks at her in surprise. “You…you can’t just harvest human magic!? You can’t jus…-“
The room flashes a bright green with a loud booming sound. You look away as the light sparks around the room in fast strobe light effect.
