These Two Lovers

Musings

It had been a month.

A month since Discord had been sealed in stone. Twilight was going out more often just to visit him. That feeling of guilt still lingered, but not as much.

Twilight wanted to understand him, to get to know him. She couldn’t do that by talking to a statue, so she went to the Ponyville library to do what she does best. Research.

She quickly trotted over to her destination, entering the place of books. She immediately went to the ‘D’ section. She scanned the shelves, looking for anything to help her. Then she spotted it. A book titled “Discord’s Reign.”

The pink aura of Twilight’s magic surrounded it and it slid out of it’s place, coming to float in front of the unicorn’s face. She quickly moved to a corner of the sitting area and sat down, opening the book.

She read the pages quietly, the book mostly talked about the things Discord had done during his reign before the royal sisters sealed him in stone for the first time. It was slightly more harmful, consisting of lightning nearly striking the ponies, furniture becoming alive and other sorts of chaos.

It seemed to Twilight that he had changed, even if it was just a little, well, the recent reign had cotton candy clouds raining chocolate milk. Twilight didn’t want to admit it but she was tempted just to open her mouth and taste it when he was free the second time.

But her stubbornness and her dislike for chaos at that point of time kept her mouth shut. And it was funny to see rabbits having long deer legs, that was just so weird! And the upside-down houses, how was she going to read her books? Levitate and hang upside-down while reading her upside-down books?

Well, she was a fast learner so she thought she could manage, if that actually happened. The guilt struck her again, but she pushed it away quickly.

She continued to read the book but it held no information about how he was like. Apparently, no one was ever his friend. That caused Twilight to be surprised. He never had a friend? That would explain some things. But then again…no one knew the story from his point of view…or even bothered to get to know him.

That made Twilight sympathize with him more. ‘What if he did have a friend?’she wondered.

It probably might have made things different….if someone wanted to actually want to be his friend. But, that’s the problem, no one wants to even go near him…no one except……her.

Twilight was slightly mortified at the idea. What if he doesn’t change? What if he doesn’t even want a friend?? Twilight had so many questions she didn’t know which to answer first.

She sighed, returning the book and walking out of the library.

Well…..whatever would happen if Discord did have a friend….Twilight knew that things would either change for the better, or for the worse.
