Distopia

"Twilight! Twilight! Oh! I've got good news!" Discord announced as he appeared in a flash inside Twilight's tree, interrupting her studies.

"What now, Discord?" Twilight said, annoyed, but trying not to show it too much.

"Well," Discord continued. "Because we're friends now, and in honor of your new princesshood, I've made something for you! You're very own kingdom!"

"My what?" Twilight asked.

"Your own kingdom!" Discord repeated.

"I don't need my own kingdom, Discord," Twilight said.

"Oh, nonsense!" said Discord. "Every princess should have one, after all. Celestia has Equestria, Cadance has the Crystal Empire, and Luna has..." He paused, putting a claw to his lips as he pondered for a moment. "I think she calls it Minecraft. What an odd name."

"But I'm not ready for that," Twilight protested.

"Oh, don't be ridiculous!" Discord assured her with a casual wave of his paw. "What better way to learn how to rule a kingdom than to simply do it? Besides, I thought you might object, so since you're a new princess, I kept it on the small-ish side, so it should be easy. You can grow it later. After all, I'm not going to do all the work for you, you know?"

In a flash, they both found themselves on a clifftop looking down at a small valley below them. At least, Twilight assumed it used to be a valley, since it resembled a disaster area more than a valley now. Grass was checkered and polka-dotted, patches of ground hung in mid-air, and Discord's trademark chocolate milk-filled cotton candy clouds were everywhere. For a chaos god, he sure wasn't very original. At least there didn't seem to be any houses, or ponies, caught up in the mess, so he must have found someplace uninhabited. Or that's what she hoped.

"Isn't it wonderful?" Discord beamed like a proud father.

"Yeah, great." Twilight sighed.

"I call it, 'Distopia!'" Discord announced. "I hope you don't mind, but I named it after myself."

"How fitting." Twilight said.
