"What happened to you?" Discord asked Nightmare Moon as he sipped a glass of chocolate milk he created.
"Celestia bested me in her bedroom." Nightmare Moon said shamefully.
Discord spat out his chocolate milk as he was caught off guard by the comment.
"Discord, why did you do tha----OH C'MON. REALLY?" Nightmare Moon shot Discord a look that made him wish he was back in his stone imprisonment.
"My apologies, it's just that the way you said it could be implied that..." Discord stopped as Nightmare Moon's glare intensified. "Nevermind."
Nightmare Moon discontinued her glare continued her explanation. "She may have gotten away but she definitely won't be able to raise the sun tomorrow morning. I was able to hit her with a spell that weakens her magical abilities."
"Perfect, just perfect." Chrysallis said. "We should send a fleet of changelings to finish her off."
"No!" Discord shouted. Chrysallis and Nightmare Moon looked at him in confusion. "I mean, killing her now wouldn't be uhhh...strategious."
Chrysallis looked at him with more confusion. "How would it be unstrategious?"
Discord could feel himself starting to sweat. "It just uhhh wouldn't, you have to trust me on this."
Chrysallis thought it over. "If you say so, but if this ends up back firing on us I'll have your head!" Chrysallis turned around to adress two changelings guarding the door way. "Thrax, Craig."
"Krog."
"Whatever, go and spread the word to the army to cease the persuit and to fortify Canterlot. I could see ourselves being here quite a while."
"Yes your highness." Krog and Thrax said in unison as they left with their task, less enthusiasm from Krog.
Chrysallis turned back to Nightmare Moon. "Watch after them, make sure they don't manage to kill themselves."
Nightmare Moon nodded and took off after the two.
When Nightmare Moon was out of sight Chrysallis continued to talk. "I have to say Discord, ever since you agreed to work with me I've NEVER seen my army fight so well. Not even when they were feeding off of Shining Armor's love for Princess Cadence. Equestria should be ours within a matter of weeks!"
Discord was lost in thought until Chrysallis looked at him, awaiting a response. "Oh yes, that is wonderful."
"Indeed, we'll see what tomorrow brings us and move on from there." With that said Chrysallis turned and left.
Discord's mind was racing. He had dreamed of an opportunity like this every day of the millennium he spent trapped in stone. But now that its actually happening, is this really what he wanted?
He looked down towards the maze where he was once imprisoned, and then down towards the massacre on the streets. Neither of which helped ease the feeling of indifference he had about his actions.
