The Rise of Discord

Conspiracy

" It is vital that this operation be held with secrecy. Nopony must know of my rebirth, we must act casual I will need to hide where I am safe but I can also see how to best stir up trouble and gain more power. It must be subtle however I do not wish to be caught too early you see. Hmm.." As I sat there thinking on the best course of action when it dawned on me. " Your cutie mark. That’s it! Nopony will think twice about it! Brilliant only I could have come with such a devious plan."

"My cutie mark?? Whoa whoa whoa there you want to become my cutie mark?? How the hell do you accomplish that? I'd love to know. It seems like an impossible and impractical task if you ask me." asked Mustang baffled and curious at the same time.

"My new disciple don't you see that impossible is a word that I seem to always defy. HAHAHA, you should have been alive when they told me it was impossible to shove a pony into his own ass. Pffftttt that was hilarious seeing that face of horror as his face literally went into his ass. I broke a few ribs I admit but that wasn't what killed him. He suffocated to death from the lack of air. The way his muffled squeals of terror sounded and the way he danced about was simply a once in a lifetime memory. Ahh good times, good times indeed." I wiped away a tear of laughter. Then I felt the first faint beams of morning hit me and knew that the time of reminiscing was over and now I had to hide and quickly. I perked my ears up and heard the beginnings of the early risers waking up and soon Canterlot would be bustling with life even the gardens. So I looked up at Mustang with a determined look " Are you ready?"

He looked back at me dreading the impending pain he might have to go through and with a low grunt replied " As ready as I’ll ever be I suppose." Then with a leap forwards I shrunk to fit into his cutie mark, which was the symbol of a crescent moon, covered in a lunar shield. Then with the faintest of sounds I hit Mustang clear on the mark of his shield. " Oww that hurt. Try to be a little more careful I’m going to feel that all day." As Mustang grumbles some more I hide behind the shield on the moon in a comfortable position.

"Please don't mind me, I’m just going to nap here until you find a safe place to make a base of operations and establish a true plan. So carry on then I’m just going to nap here for now." I snuggle down to where I’m invisible to the outside world but where I can hear all conversations in case some good gossip of Mustang happens to fall upon my lap, hopefully as a pillow and blanket that would be nice and make my nap all the more excellent. " Ahhh" I yawn loudly but of course Mustang can't hear me. As I start to close my lids I finally feel Mustang move and as his steady walk leads him on I can feel the beat of his heart and I fall asleep quickly.



As I started to walk off the stinging pain in my rear Discord left me I was approached by the relief guards. I quickly fell into line and saluted my hoof to my chest as the sign to show that I was of the guards. It was our relief sign pretty lame if you ask me but nopony ever asks me anything they all just expect me to shut up and follow orders like all the ignorant guards.
"Mustang where did Klondike wander off to this time don't tell to take a nap in a tree nearby? Lazy guard it’s a wonder he ever passed training and recruitment. He was always messing things up and damaged your reputation making it impossible for you to rank up further in the army. HAHA what a failure both of you guys." The guards laughed at their jokes seeing themselves as funny. They were Pegasus ponies’ easy prey for me. With a concentrated point of my horn a purple beam hit both ponies to the ground disfiguring their wings and rendering them useless. " My wings what the fuck have you done to them you animal!?" The first guard practically yells at me

" I will fix them when you have humbled yourselves you doddering fools. I will however conceal their damage to not raise attention. However I have put the speech loss hex on you both. If you try to talk about what I did to you then you will not be able to speak unless you change subjects. Now then I have places to be and you have a post to guard." With a glow of my horn a purple haze falls over their wings and makes them appear as if nothing has happened. " Come back to me when you have learned your lesson idiots." With that I walked away as the continued to grovel on the ground over their useless wings. As every pony knows a Pegasus pony without his wings is an empty pony better off dead. Some say that death would be preferred than to suffer such a fate. "Hmmm" as I thought to myself "whose to say they ever have to fly again?" I laughed a dark chuckle to myself as more dark thoughts I indulged beginning a change in my I could not foresee nor would I ever regret it. Still I began to see the upside in aligning myself with Discord. If he could actually pull this off he will rule Equestria. If he did then I will be right there as his new General of the Army and I could change anything I wanted. Anything. “Power will be mine, then they shall all fear me only it will be too late. A dark smile crossed my lips showing the evil taint upon my soul.
