Time trouble

A meteor strike

Night time, the peaceful serine landscape lay out covering Equestria in a pale glow of calmness.

Luna`s moon grazing the sky, only her and a few of the night guard were awake. She was standing on a mountain enjoying the scenery.

Luna was trying to make a new consolation just to see if anypony would notice, adjusting the last star in the Big Dipper to become brighter than usually, sure not a lot brighter but just bright enough to make it a focal point in the sky.

A few of the Night guard where on patrol around Canterlot, all of them looking up at Luna`s handy work.

“She`s doing it again” stated at the front, the large bat pony in the lead.

“Yeah apparently tomorrow the North Star become goanna be brighter” stated the second smaller one.

“Hey do you know why Celestia was called away to day? I talked Steel Hammer and he hasn`t a clue” stated the larger bat pony.

The smaller one shrugged “Feather Hoof said something about Princess Cadance needing her”

Both of them rounded a corner onto the main street of Canterlot, small candles on the street lights gave them small amount of light.

The sound of claws on cobblestone echoed down the street. Both the night guard turned to face the noise.

Discord walked around the corner, humming a tune happily to himself. Seeing the two night guard he waved
“You alright Night Spear and Star Saber” greeting to two, sure Discord was Discord but he did try and make friends… most of the time.

Night and Saber were both tasked with helping Discord around Canterlot for the first few month of his reformation. With all three of them become close friends.

“Yeah, where yah headed to Discord” asked Night the larger of the two night guard.

“To my thinking tree, I had a very interesting conundrum about straws put to me” he said “Well got to go, my Zip Zap thinking tree awaits! Goodbye!” he said as he wandered off into a doorway without a wall.

Night and Saber laughed at his antics, they were still confuse how chaos was bad but hay, life in nice with or without it so, mah.

Both of them continued down the street without another word and off into the night.

Luna say on a rocky ledge when a flash of light echoed behind her “Hay Lulu, have you seen Celestia anywhere?” Discord asked lion paw scratching the back of his head

“No she`s gone to the crystal empire to talk with Cadance, she be gone for a few days at the most” stated Luna as Discord sat down next to her.

“Oh brilliant I had a question she`ll probably know the answer to” he sighed “I still not know why she decide to reform me, I really want to know” he turned to Luna.

She had a small smile on her face “I think she wanted her childhood friend back, and you’re the only one who`s still alive”

Discord smiled “Yeah the good old days, where I would cause chaos that made everpony laugh, where did it go wrong?” he looked at his paws.

“When you were corrupted by something, lying to yourself” said Luna placing a hoof on he`s shoulder.

Discord smiled “Yeah, but enough being morbid, it`s unfitting for me, for you it fine but me… well, it doesn`t seem right, does it?” he asked jumping an moving in a serpentine way.

Luna rolled her eyes “I am the Night, not Bat-Stallion, so please leave your chaotic ideas in your brain” she stated.

“But I think with my stomach” he shot back pointing to a diagram of himself with his brain located inside his stomach.

Luna held back her annoyed sigh, Celestia may have found his antics hilarious, but her no way in the merry month of May.

Discord groaned in annoyance “Your impossible to please aren`t you?” Luna gave a half-hearted stare at him “I`ve been known for that”

The lord of chaos rubbed his eyes, “Fine, fine I`ll go, no need to show me the door” he said walking away.

Both of them suddenly felt a magical presence, unlike anything they’d felt before, much like the first time Star Swirled used the time travel spell for a mere second.

“What was that?” asked Discord, he looked around in confusion, “I do not know” replied Luna.

Celestia was woken from her sleep by a strange felling, like a monster in the dark had awaken, but different lacking the monster but still with the same amount of dread.

She looked at the night sky, Luna`s modification evident. But also was a large orange and crimson meteor burning up in the stratosphere.

Luna looked at the meteor for a moment she hadn`t summoned this one and Discord wouldn`t do something so trivial, so was that it a magic meteor?

The meteor streaked over all of them and landed in the valley below, with a fiery cloud bellowing from it.

Flying down to the meteor, it was hot, too hot to touch, with it rock being almost molten, Discord licked it “Youch!” he yield in agony his tounch burnt to a small black strip of flesh, smouldering in his mouth.

Luna scenes something coming from the meteorite, “Discord get some night guard, I want this thing examined!” she ordered
Discord huffed and flew off toward the Canterlot barracks.

Luna looked at the space rock closer, she could do a rough field inspection now, without being disturbed.

Horn glowing a deep blue Luna began the inspection spell, a simple spell it only to a couple of seconds to figure it out.

Only a few unknowns inside the meteorite, so why did it feel so alien?

The Everfree forest, was dead still, all the animals and monster sleeping peacefully, the dead still air gave way to a powerful breeze.
With all the leaves blowing hard wipping the cold dead ones off the forest floor.

The wind exploded until nothing, and a loud thud as 3 figures crushed into the ground.

All of them equine in shape some far too big to be ponies.

The first one to wake let out a roar that had not been heard since the dragons became sentient.

The creatures large teeth glinted in the light.
