//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Till Chaos Do Us Part // by Maple Drop //------------------------------// Luna shifted around on her large bed. The silk covers beneath her felt like a large skating rink that her body was sliding on. Sighing, she rolled on to her belly and looked out the double doors that lead to her balcony. The sun was slowly decaling, and soon she would have to rise the moon. The moon that no one appreciated. The moon that no one saw. The moon that only she loved. Luna's face wrinkled slightly to stop from crying before burying her face in a pillows. Her silent cry's were interrupted by a knock at the door. Muttering a "Come in", a royal guard entered. "Princess Luna, your elder sister, Princess Celestia has informed me to inform you that it is your time to raise the moon." The guard said in an expressionless manor, tapping one hoof on the ground to inform her his message was done. Turning to face the window, putting the guard at her rear, Luna's horn lit up as the moon slowly and gracefully rose up. It took a few minutes, but not a lot of magic thanks to a spell Luna had created to make the raising and lowering of the moon easier. "I must say, I've see that moon rise into the night before from many different places, but this is the most beautiful one I've seen. Unless its the beautiful mare who's company I'm in." The guard spoke from directly behind Luna now, who had turned around to face him in surprise. A cunning smirk accompanied his voice. "Guard! Tell us why you are still in our bedchamber!" Luna shouted at the guard who seemed unaffected by her inclining voice. "If thou doesn't answer us, we shall send you to the moon as thy punishment until your trial." The guard just laughed at the angry princess. "Dearest Luna..." The guards voice changed to that of a familiar creature, to who the guard had now changed into. "I was expecting a much nicer greeting, but shame on you dear girl. I might just have to punish you now." Discord said with a wink. Luna's body loosened from its tense state. "Discord, you startled me, that is all." She said as she walked over to him and rested her head on his shoulder. "You just.. startled me.. that's.. all...." Luna managed to get out before breaking down in tears. The discorian just stroked the alicorns mane as she cried and shuttered with hic-ups. "Oh Discord... Tia knows something's up, I can just feel it!" Luna managed to get out before crying once again overcome her. "Shhhh my love, she doesn't know for sure yet. No need to give up hope just yet. We can work this all out..." Discord repeatedly muttered into Luna's mane as he stroked it in a soothing fashion. After what seemed like hours of crying, Luna's eyes just wouldn't shed anymore tears. She looked up to discord who still held her with red eyes. "Discord, we are sorry you had to see us in such a sorry state." Luna muttered as she wiped her nose with a hoof. "We will try harder next time to not break down in your presence again." "Luna, I would not be here right now if I had not been prepared for this. I'll always be here, for better or for worse." Discord offered Luna a smile. "Till chaos do us part." "...Till chaos do us part. I can agree with you and that statement Discord." Luna muttered softly. "Discord, would you might sleeping here for the night? I don't want to be alone for another night--" Discord put a pawed finger to her lips. "I would be more than honored to dearest Luna." Discord said with a proper bow as if he was one of the pony's bowing before her sister in the court. Leading Luna to her bed, Discord gave a snap of his talons, turning Luna's once uncomfortable silk bed sheets into soft sheets with the same colours and moon pattern as the silk ones had. "I just have one question. Is there any chance of... Bow chicka wow won?" Discord asked with a small grin and rise of an eyebrow. "Discord! My dear sisters room is just down the hall. She'll surly notice if I put up a sound barrier." Luna said, remember how loud they were last time they had met in private. "Please bear with us. soon we shall be able to do it all over this lovely castle and nopony will be able to stop us!" Celestia held in a gasp as she backed away from her sisters bedchambers doors. How could Luna even consider being in a relationship with that monster?! The elder sister thought. She hurriedly walked to her room, trying not to draw much attention to herself from the guards. After entering the privacy of her own room, Celestia grabbed an blank book and quill and began to write. Write about all that she had figured up until now, as well as what she had just heard. What will I do now? Celestia thought as she finished writing. Than she pushed aside all her writing utensils and wept on her desk. "What ever do you mean Luna? Your elder sister rules over this castle. She'll never allow us to even think of that, let alone do it! And than there's another big factor, me!" Discord said as he tried to keep his voice low. "Discordian, you underestimate me! Just because I am the younger sister, does not mean I am the least powerful! My dear sister is growing weak slowly due to all the stress the ponycourt gives her, while I store all my magical energy." Luna said, sitting up in bed to look discord, who had curled his warm body around her, in the eyes. "The Luna I used to know would never consider such a thought, she always respected and looked up to her elder sister." Discord said as his head formed into that of Celestia's. "Dear sister, why would you ever consider overpowering me?" Discord mocked Celestia. "Because no one loves our night!" Luna almost shouted at her dear lover, her eyes starting to glow white, making his Celestia mock-face disappear. "All the pony's enjoy my sister bright days, but ignore my beautiful night, even when I put so much work into creating star formations and something I call meteor showers. I work so hard on all that, yet they ignore both it and my presence." Her eyes had returned to normal, but a her chest was puffing in and out still. Discord felt something deep in him pull. The chaos is attracted to this. The discordian thought. Squeezing Luna tightly, Discord couldn't help but feel as if chaos was starting to grower stronger in both of them each time they met. They would overcome it though, Together they would beat it.
