Being Trapped in Stone is DULL!

Lessons are Predictably Dull

HAHAHAHA!

Oh... Oh this is just too good!

Heeheehee... Okay, okay, I know I said I'd never enjoy Tuesdays ever again, but I take it back in full, Tuesday should become a national holiday after this!

I suppose I should start at the beginning.

The morning greeted me with a squad of Unicorns righting my elegant self, which finally removed the pressure I'd been feeling in my stone since last night. A little while after that, I finished enjoying my newfound peace of mind, I decided to attempt to scry once more.

And just then I was pleasantly surprised with the image of a certain pretty princess' purple pony pupil positively providing proof of the dangers of overworking.

And there may have been a pinch of residual Chaos left in her pretty pony head. But what really got me laughing was when Twilight went to her 'friends' for help... And they laughed her off like some bad joke!

But wait, it gets better, because then she goes and tries to get a group of fillies to fight each other over some raggedy doll thing, so she can fix the problem that she herself made! It's hysterical!

Of course, they're foals, not fools, and they do the most logical and rational thing when presented with an acquaintance gone mad; they try to get one of their own to stay so the others can run away! I'm telling you, between freeing me from my prison and this little backstabbing escapade, I'm almost proud of the little 'crusaders.'

Of course, when Twilight realizes that the little foals aren't taking the bait, she uses a Class-B restricted spell, 'Want-It-Need-It,' a spell that makes anyone other than the caster become obsessed with whatever it's cast on.

Now, there's actually a pretty funny story about how that spell came to be, but I'll leave it for another time.

Having charmed her doll to be irresistible, it wasn't long before half the town was fighting over it in a brutal pileup. It was so bad that Celestia herself teleported to Ponyville just to sort out her student's mistake.

Then some boring mushy stuff happened, but I noticed something, it was just before Celestia arrived, Twilight became utterly hopeless, and it only got worse when Celestia reprimanded her there in that field. And along with Twilight's despair came my joy, for two very important reasons.

The first is that she deserved what she got and nothing brings black joy quite like revenge.

The second reason is that I felt my prison loosen, not much, but enough that I'm able to freely scry once more.

Now this might not seems like such a huge leap, but with the new information I can gain I just might be able to find a way to defeat the Elements for good the next time I escape.

But enough about the future, and let us return instead to the present, it is an unwanted gift after all, so without further ado, it's time for some correspondence!

Dear Changeling, the story of Luna's transformation is not particularly long or complex, but it is very important for understanding the most important thing of all; how it involves me.


It's a full-moon night when I approach Luna in the castle to plant the seed of doubt in her head. Spying her upon what looked to be the astronomy tower, I slither up the stonework and contort myself into a reclining position behind her.

"Hey Lulu," I savour her look of surprise tinged with anger, quickly replaced with pure shock as she turns around, "long time no see."

"Discord," her tone is completely neutral, and she composes her face to match, "We have not seen thee since the time thou screached Us and Our sister from Our Ancestral Home."

"Honestly, aren't you exaggerating just a bit?"

"Nay, We remember the event quite clearly." Her face contorted into a rather formidable glare.

"Yes, well," I try, and fail, to keep the worry I felt from affecting my voice, I force a cough before continuing, "I believe we should let bygones be bygones, that's why I'm here after all, to Marry the Fatchet and Bend the Hench and all that."

Luna, despite herself, can't hold back a chuckle at my massacred idioms, she always did have a great sense of humour.

"It is good to see that thou have not changed," Luna was grinning as she spoke now. "But why have thou come to make amends to Us and not Our sister?"

This is my chance, "Well, I just figured you'd be lonely out in the night all alone."

"Wha- We are not lonely!" Luna screamed with all the might of her Divine Shout, a force powerful enough to send even a dragon running.

I however, was unaffected, "Whatever you say Lu," I take the opportunity that her outburst provides to layer my words with festering doubt and shame, "but the way I see it, Celestia gets to have fun and frolic in the day with her 'little ponies,' while you have to stay away in the dark when everypony's already asleep."

A single glance at the greenish-yellow colour seeping into her pupils is all I need to know of my success. Noticing her dumbfounded look at the same time, I quickly apologize and say my farewell, already planning the final stage of my plan...


And so, with the seeds of doubt and shame finding eager purchase in the mind of my naive younger sister, I began my Chaotic rule.

Of course, I had planned for Luna to join me, ensuring I couldn't be defeated even if T#%$@ returned from his sealing, unfortunately, Celestia went and convinced mom to give her the Elements, so after my defeat Luna's doubt and shame twisted into jealousy, greed, and anger.

Overall it was a very productive venture even if it didn't go according to plan.

After all, rules are meant to be thwarted and plans broken.
