Chapter 7.5: Consumed 

Discord snarled mentally in frustration, ‘Why was it, that every time he started getting everything he wanted, he got turned to stone!?’.
“I am so sorry, Discord. I never wanted to hurt thee, I never wanted to turn thou to stone.” The white alicorn stands and stares at the screaming statue of the ancient draconequus. “But thou always tries to manipulate me. Dost thou not understand what I would do for thee?” Now, Broken Rose’s voice is quiet and scared, almost afraid to talk.
Her voice fades away as hoofsteps walk back towards wherever she came from. Discord retreated back into his mind, the only escape from the stone prison he was encased in. ‘And Luna complains about being trapped in the moon.’ 
	A checkerboard sky took form in Discord’s imagination. Rabbits with long legs and carnivorous appetites galloped across the landscape. Discord sighed and returned to listening to the outside world as Celestia came to gloat over her victory. He wondered how much longer this would take before he was free again. He gave in to the darkness that whispered in his ears, secrets and mysteries would soon be his. A minute crack appeared in the stone. 

Was anypony there to notice?
