//------------------------------// // Dislestia - Discord/Celestia // Story: Ships are Sailing - // by LoneBlade //------------------------------// Dislestia Never before in the 1000's of years I have lived, have I fallen in love. Probably out of fear, scared that as I lived on, forever immortal, my loved ones would die, leaving me behind it mourn them for the rest of my life. For the rest of eternity. But sometimes, luck comes out to play, and decides to shine on me. But just as Luck would have it, I fell in love. Most people would except me to be happy, but they aren't in love with Discord. ---------------------- "Celestia!! Oh Celestia!!" Chimed Discord. Why him? Why did I have to fall in love with him? I would've taken Sombra over him! Or Flash Century, or even Shining Armour! And he's already married! "Yes, Discord?" I asked trying to mask my blush. As soon as Discord noticed my affections towards him had softened he hasn't left me alone! Constantly bring chocolate and fairy floss, pink roses - they were my favorite. I didn't know how he knew, but he did -, and he even "hired" a mariachi band from Saddle Arabia and by "hired" I mean kidnapped. It was sweet but very annoying and I couldn't help but loving it. "Come on Tia, I know you love me" he accused, floating outside my window, holding yet another bouquet of roses, white this time. I composed myself, trying to hide my emotions, I don't know how Luna did it has a filly. "Thank you for the flowers Discord. I'll put them in the cupboard with all the others" I said, carrying the bouquet in my magic and teleporting to my room, readying my magic to catch all the flowers that would come falling out. 3...........2............1....... I quickly pulled open the doors with my magic, but no flowers came out, instead Discord stood, mariachi band behind me and they started singing "Love is in the air!! Everywhere I look around! Love is in the air!! Even Chaos won't shut it dow-" I quickly slammed the doors as soon as I got over the initial shock of having DISCORD in my BEDROOM CLOSET. How could I love this man? I must be more kinky than I thought.... ---------------------- I had the Royal Guards doubled just to make sure I didn't see Discord. What would Canterlot, Twilight, my Sister - think about this if they found out! I was like some lovestruck school girl! Avoiding the pony who I loved and thinking about them every second of the day! Finally, after hours of avoiding, pretending and pacing, it was time to lower the sun and make way for my sisters Moon. I walked out to my balcony and flew off the edge, making my way to the tallest point of Canterlot Castle, where Princess Luna was waiting. The smaller blue alicorn acknowledged me with a small nod "Sister, are you ready?" Inquired the Night Princess. I was still furious - and overjoyed about today - and didn't trust myself to speak so I simply nodded as Luna first had to me. I took my place beside Luna, raising my head as my horn started to glow, bidding the sun to set. When the sun was just able to be seen over the rolling hills of Ponyville in the distance, Luna raised her head, her purplish magic pulling the moon into view. Finally, the sun was gone, signaling the end of my day, and Equestria's. I nodded goodbye and goodnight to my sister as I flew off to my room. Oh how I hoped that another pony needed help in their dreams. Every night Discord had appeared in my dreams, they were more like nightmares now, although occasionally fantasies. 'ARGH' I thought 'Why is the LORD OF CHAOS consuming all my thoughts? WHY am I in love with HIM?' I stood up and paced around my chambers, despite this of an late hour. I had to have an excuse not to love Discord. But who would love Discord aside from me? And even then, I wasn't myself, I don't know why I love him. Who loves Discord of all the hideous creatur-. Fluttershy, Fluttershy is the answer, it's obvious her and Discord have a bond. I jumped onto my bed, having lost some of my stress about this matter. ---------------------- As I reached my dream world even more stress was taken away as there was no Draconequus or chaotic world awaiting me. I sighed in relief, I then spotted something rather odd, in my dreamworld, a land of sun and life, there was an extremely dark shadow. Rather curious of this I crept over to the spot of shadows only to see something worse than Discord. "Hello, Sister" greeted Princess Luna "L-Luna, what are you doing here? I'm not having a nightmare I don't need your help!" I exclaimed, scared that my mind would bring Discord into my world again. "Well, Sister, it seems your on the verge of one. What is troubling you?" Inquired the Moon Princess. My face a mask, not letting any emotion show, I simply answered "Nothing, I'm sure there's another pony who needs your help more than I" My sister stood, her eyes a warning "Alright then, I have been blocking your nightmare from showing itself. But I will stop if you don't tell me what is the matter" threatened the younger Alicorn. ‘I can't believe I'm losing in my own mind!’ I thought, getting madder at myself every second this dream went on. Composing myself - yet again - I looked Luna I'm the eyes and stated "I have nothing to hide" I banished all thoughts of Discord from my mind, but, as it seems, my nightmare wasn't so much about Discord, but about me running from him - running from my love for him. Luna simply sat watching my nightmare unfold. In it I was running through the maze Discord had created back when he stole the Elements. Chasing me was myself. I finally find the door and ran through it, slamming the door behind me as soon as I passed its eaves. But the door kept moving, Discord pushing it open, holding more pink roses and followed by that same damn Mariachi band. After my magic started to falter, the door swung open and Discord took me in his arms, wiping away my sweat from exhaustion from holding the spell "Ah my dear, you shouldn't over work yourself" he chides, leaning in and I, ME, PRINCESS CELESTIA, lean forward to meet his kiss. I watched in shock, my mouth agape as I watch the passionate embrace Discord held me in as our lips remained locked never parting even as we drew breath. Luna was either scarred or feeling merciful as the horrid vision disappeared. The blue alicorn rose and approached me. "Well, Celestia, it seems your more kinky than I thought. Fantasizing about Discord" she said with a smirk. "But it isn't me Sister! I'm going mad! Discord is a putrid creature of chaos and well, Discord!" I groaned. I can't believe I was fighting with my younger sister! We weren't fillies anymore! "What will Twilight think of this, I wonder?" Asked Luna, talking to herself with a small smirk. "NO! Ahem, I mean, Please Sister. I'm not myself, I am NOT in love with Discord!" I pleaded with her. "Love dosen't lie, Celestia" said the blue alicorn as she walked off into the shadows of which she came. -------------------- I woke from my disturbed slumber. Why does Luna always intrude in my dreams? She of all people should respect having some personal space! She was stuck in the moon for 1000 years! Who could help me with this matter? I can't go to Twilight...Zecora! I'd heard Twilight mention her a few times, she lived at the heart of the Everfree Forest. I must go see her, was the only thought on my mind. I quickly raised the sun, not taking care as I usually do as I leapt off my balcony, flying until I could see the tangled mess of trees and vines below me. Once I reached what looked like the center I started my descent. I dodged vines and branches as I landed. But there was no hut in sight. I stood for a while trying to get a sense of orientation, when a clue wafted my way. The smell of cinnamon, mint and other herbs reached my nose, leading me towards the hut in which the zebra lived. ‘How does she live out here? With all the vines?’ I wondered ducking under yet another branch. ‘Well, I guess I am taller than most ponies so it is harder for me’ I told myself, trying to ignore how much noise I was making. "Who is that I hear? Come into the light and make yourself clear!" A voice called, I stepped out into a clearing to find Zecora standing surrounded by pots and bowls. As soon as she noticed me she bowed asking "I am sorry for what I said before, maybe my words you can ignore?" "Of, course, Zecora - is it? For I am seeking your help" I stated, at this the zebra looked quite confused. "What is it you need Princess? For you see, I am but magicless" she pointed out "For what I seek I do not need magick, I think I'm in love - with Discord" "Ah, it is on the subject of love you seek, and you fear that if others know they will label you weak?" "No - it's that, I never loved Discrd before now! And suddenly, he was all I was thinking about!" "Well, is it tests you want me to run? Or brew a potion to make your thoughts of him none?" "I guess a test would be good, thank you" I said following the zebra inside her hut, I ducked down to get inside the small door. The room inside was lit with candles and smelled of herbs. "This is a leaf I need you to chew, It will say if your love is true" explained the zebra, handing over a pink heart shaped leaf, I took it in my mouth and started chewing. The taste was terrible but I didn't let that show, as I didn't want to offend the zebra, "Now we wait for your color to change, then we can see if there is something strange" said the zebra sitting down. After a while, my stomach started to glow pink. "Aha now we can see what was the commotion, somepony was given you a love potion!" Stated the zebra "DISCORD!" I yelled in anger at the god of chaos. He suddenly appeared a burst of pink smoke filled the room, "Yes my love?"
