//------------------------------// // Chaos and Tears // Story: against all odds // by Flaring Dawn //------------------------------// Twilight's eyes widened at Discords words. Her anger doubled ten times over. Tears fell from Twilight's eyes as she looked around her. The world she once lived in, the world she loved, was gone. "Discord... I will find you... you won't lay a claw on any of my friends... I'll kill you..." Twilight's eyes filled with tears as the rain fell from the heavens. A sickening thud was heard from behind her. Twilight turned around and saw a Pegasus laying on the ground, blood pouring from a wound on her head. Twilight ran over to the Pegasus and held her in her hooves as she died. Never before in her life has she seen so much death, so much destruction, so much sorrow in one place. Twilight's eyes filled with tears as the Pegasus took her final breath and died. Twilight sat there staring into the dead eyes of a once happy pony, sorrow filling her body, and shaking it to the core. She stood up and said a few prayers before moving through the streets of the once happy town. In Twilight's mind only one thing mattered at that exact moment, She had to find Discord. "Where in the name of Equestria am I?" Twilight said with concern. She looked around her unfamiliar surroundings and continued on. She let out a deep and sad sigh. At times like this Twilight would have Spike help her, but Spike was in the Crystal Kingdom helping Cadence around the kingdom. Twilight closed her eyes and tears began to fall from them. She missed her friends, She missed Celestia, She missed her home. Twilight sat on her haunches and cried. Tears fell to the ground like rain on a summer day. "Why did this happen? Why did Discord do this?... It-It's not fair...I-It's just not fair..." she placed her face in her hooves and cried more. All of a sudden a voice behind her shook her from her sorrow. "Twilight... I-is that you?" The voice said with concern. Twilight shot around and attempted to strike until she saw that it was Spike. "Sp=Spike?! What are you doing here? I thought you were with Cadence?" Twilight asked as she hugged her assistant. Spike smiled and hugged back. "I was there, but Cadence told me what happened to you Twilight, She told me to come along and help you... Discord's strong Twi... you're going to need my help with this one..." Spike gave Twilight a smile and hugged her tightly. Twilight returned the hug and smiled. A tear fell down Twilight's face, but not a tear of sadness, but a tear of happiness. She was happy that her best assistant was there by her side. Now Twilight finally had a chance to make all this horrible sadness and destruction vanish forever. "Oh Spike... I'm so glad you came back... You're a true friend Spike... I love you..." Twilight said with a smile. This made Spike blush a bit, but he returned the hug. "I love you too Twilight... Lets end this damn hatred once and for all." Spike said. Twilight nodded, and then placed Spike on her back and continued on the road to chaos. Twilight did not know where this road would lead, or what Discord had in mind for her, but she did know one thing. Twilight knew she would do anything to save her friend's lives. Discord would not win. Discord would fall and harmony would forever reign in the land forever. Why though, did she feel that something, or someone was watching their every move?
