Rainbow Factory Condemned

Chapter 9

The wooden door's lock quickly melted from the corrosive liquid. After the lock had been melted, you push open the door. What you see on the other side surprises you more than scares you. Beyond the door frame you see a strange looking pony lying in a hammock suspended across a double stairwell. "That was much too rude for somepony so young, perhaps a knock and I would have come." You couldn't see his face but you knew you had heard that voice before. The figure sat up from the hammock and casually dropped off the side and began plummeting toward the floor below. You rush over to the rails and look into the darkness below and see nothing. "Oh I'm sure he'll be fine." The figure startles you as he was standing right beside you.

The figure had a pony body but was absolutely unrecognizable as one. He had distinct yellow eyes and oblong pupils. His wings were that of two different creatures and an unusually large tooth hung from his mouth. "Now my dear, it's impolite to stare, but I'm sure your friend will be just fine just you wait and see." You blink and he completely vanishes from view. A few seconds later the same figure appears walking up the steps below. "Oh I just love free falling! It's so pleasantly horrifying to most ponies. Sometimes you can just drop one over the edge and hear their screams all the way down. Well my dear pegasus friend, it seems your caught at a crossroad once again, a choice you must make, up or down, your path of choice will test your will but overcome it if you do, your objective shall be fulfilled." His face holds a look of mischievous wonder. Instantly you knew where you've seen him before. He was the one who had whispered in your ear during class.

"Ever wonder what the aren't telling us?" You mouth the words to yourself. "Oh but I can't not tell you anything without telling you about It." You glance at this colt with confused look. "I feel the need to stretch my limbs, this body does not suite me very well." The colt reached the same floor as you and started ' stretching'. His limbs elongated, his body parts were changing. His front right leg became that of a lions. His left became a griffin' s claw. His middle elongated into a large serpentine body. His back legs changed into that of a lizard and a mule. His tail thickened into a dragon's tail. His face was contorted slightly and it gave him a very cynical look. He had two different horns on his head, one of a deer and the other you assumed was a warped unicorn horn. You recognized this figure now. This was the legendary creature known as Discord, the deity of chaos.
