I opened my eyes. I looked over at my alarm clock and it read 12 o'clock midnight. I tried to move my arm but(conveniently enough.) Luna was using it as a pillow. My arm was completely numb and I could barely move my fingers.
"Luna, Luna wake up." I whispered.
Luna's eyes slowly opened. She saw my face and gave a cute little smile to me.
"Hi, Alex, what can I do for you?" she asked quietly.
"I need you to get your things, we are leaving and heading back to Equestria." I whispered to her.
She said okay and we silently got up. I grabbed a bag and put some fresh clothes in it. I grabbed a flash light from my closet and got another pair of shoes. I stuffed it all in a bag. I closed my closet door and saw that Luna was waking Celestia up, but she wasn't getting very far with her. I moved Luna aside and pushed Celestia off the cot. She fell to the floor with a quiet groan and sat up.
"Get your things, we are leaving." I told her.
She sleepily got up and pulled her shoes on. Apparently she was not going to change like Luna did. I unlocked the door and told the girls to wait for me by the stairs. I was about to close the door and lock it when I saw the Ring of Aroc on the bed side table. I quickly walked in and grabbed it, put the string around my neck and made sure the knot holding the ring was tight. I closed and locked the bedroom door. The three of us crept down the stairs. Leaving through the front door would have been too noisy so I pointed to a window over to the side. I opened the window and helped Luna and Celestia out. I pulled myself through the window and closed it from the other side. I said a quiet goodbye to my old house and pulled the flash light form my pocket. I turned it on and led the way down the hill to the banks of the river. We came up on the cave and crept through it. Soon Celestia and Luna's footsteps turned into clops from hoofs. They had turned back into their original form. I thought that kind of sucked because I liked their human forms. All three of us exited the door and saw that the sky had turned dark red. The clouds were black. Something was most definitely wrong. We ran towards the castle and saw that there were changelings swarming everywhere.
"Great, I told you that this would happen." I said.
Luna and Celestia had their heads down as we entered through the back entrance of the castle. We were immediately attacked by changelings. They took us captive and led us through the throne room. We entered and saw that Chrysalis was sitting on Celestia's throne.
"Well, well, well. Look at what we have here my children. Three lost birds, that never learned to fly." she said smugly.
"Well, I somehow knew I would be seeing your ugly face again, Chrysalis. I must say I am impressed that you thought of this. With your bug brain I thought that something like this would be a little too hard for you to comprehend." I said trying to sound as menacing as possible.
"You give me too much credit, Alex. I did not do this without help." she replied, keeping as cool as ever.
Suddenly, a beast appeared next to her. He had the head of a goat, one goat horn, a deer horn, one sharp tooth in his mouth that stuck out, a eagle's body and a eagle arm, the other was a lion arm. His tail was that of a dragon and so was his right foot. His other foot was a goat's foot. He looked just like the beast from my dream.
"So this is the infamous Alex that I have herd so much about, it is a great pleasure to meet you. I am the god of chaos, Discord." the beast said as he took a bow.
"The pleasure is all mine." I said.
I tried to look at Discord in the eyes but I could not escape Chrysalis's gaze. Her eyes were filled with both affection and hate. Both were a deadly combination.
"Okay, I have a question for you. Why are you doing this?" I asked.
"It goes back a long time, Alex and I am afraid that I do not have time to explain it all. I will tell you this though. I wish to plunge this world into chaos while Chrysalis wants to find a permanent food source for her children. I believe she also wants revenge for when you stabbed her." Discord replied.
"Okay, I have a proposition for you." I said.
"And what would that be?" Chrysalis asked.
"You can claim my life. Kill me, torture me or rip the soul from my body. You can do what ever you want. Just don't hurt the princesses. They do not have a hand(or hoof) in this. They are innocent." I said.
"No, Alex, don't do it!" I heard the girls yell behind me.
I looked back at them. My eyes were filled with sadness. I told them this was the only way and that I have caused them enough trouble. I told them that I was sorry.
"I think that's fair." Chrysalis said.
Discord pulled out a knife. I recognized it as the one I tried to assassinate Chrysalis with. He walked forward, and with one sympathetic look, plunged the knife into my chest. Pain rang through my body. I fell to the ground. My mind became foggy. I couldn't breathe. My vision was fading. I was going to die. The last thing I saw was changelings dragging Celestia and Luna away, their eyes filled with tears and screaming for something to save me. Chrysalis and Discord had lied. They were probably going to kill them as well. I did not have time to feel anger. My eyes began to close. With my last breath I uttered "I'm sorry." then everything went black.
