Soon, Clover and Luna met far outside the castle, and Luna was very curios as to why they actually let that beast stay with only her sister and practically gave him poor Starswirl's castle!
"There better be a good explanation for this, Clover!" Luna exclaimed.
Clover grinned.
"Don't worry! The gems! They'll get rid of him! Starswirl told me!" Cover said excited.
Luna shook her head.
"Clover, Starswirl is gone. He can't have told you those things. And I'm afraid the gems aren't any more powerful than soppy friendship..." Luna cooed to Clover, treating her like a filly. Then switched her mind to a questioning set. "And how is Discord suddenly a spirit of Chaos? And how would friendship be able to stop him?"
Clover had been waiting for Luna to ask that for ages!
"Simple! Draconequi! They are from the opposite cosmos; we're in the harmony cosmos, and they're in the Chaos cosmos. If a creature from our opposite cosmos, starts its life here, and this cosmos isn't used to it, the cosmos almost dramatizes it's abilities, but they're surprisingly limited aswell. The limit would be more obvious on their own world, but here, they're different, they're the ultimate spirit of Chaos . Same as if a pony was born on Chaoseon, it would be the ultimate spirit of Harmony!"
"Well if he's limited, then wouldn't he be happier on Chaoseon?"
"No! They're spirits! Almost engraved on the planet that made them! They cannot leave!" Clover said.
This was whole lot for Luna to take in, like a lot, a lot.
"Ok...But how do the gems defeat a spirit of this Earth yet of an opposite?"
"There are elements of Harmony on this planet; in this cosmos, and there are elements of chaos on Chaoseon; in that cosmos. Since this is harmony's planet, the elements would annihilate him, he does not belong here but the gems do, they're Equestria's representative. We have two cosmoses for a reason!" Clover finished.
Luna thought she finally understood.
"But how do we use them?" She asked.
Clover paused...That was Starswirl's speciality...
"...Use magic?" Clover didn't know...
Discord had vanished to his supposed bedroom; Celestia's bedroom. His laugh wavered to a laugh of sheer fear, when he suddenly heard trotting hooves and quickly merged into the shadows.
It was Celestia. She cantered in and threw herself on her bed and cried.
Discord watched her quietly. She's sad? B...But why? He thought. Sure he'd gotten rid of her sister and made her his wife with no consideration for her, but...She knew he thought she was beautiful right?...and to be honest, it felt weird enough to find somepony pretty...almost made him shudder.
But now instead of shuddering, he hurt. Discord saw her face go red and watched the tears trail down her cheeks.
It...hurt.
But why? Surely this was revenge?
But for some reason he wanted to touch her and tell her that it was alright, but he knew she wouldn't like his unexpected company.
He needed to leave, so transported into his mind.
In there it was an endless void of wrecklessness. Full of random and mischievous goings on.
He sat down in a corner and though about Celestia and what he felt for her. What was it called? Envy? No way! Hate? Certainly not! Pity?...Hopefully...but one thing seemed more likely in his mind...
Suddenly his mind started battering him.
Why was he feeling like this? It was stupid! He cared for somepony he hated! He felt for somepony who he was using in his plan! That wasn't the plan!
If he planned to care for her, he would've made her his partner in crime!
You don't care for somepony you marry!
Then he had a thought. Partner in crime, hey? The, now, second most important pony around? Oooh! that would take persuading...but how much? He looked at her through his mirror in his mind. A magic mirror. She was crying. After all, he had taken everything from her, so what would she have to lose? This made him reckon that she would be easier to persuade than first anticipated...
He just needed to find her soft spots, the things that she longed for and had not had in a very long time...
He figured that they would be easy to find.
He'd been spying on her through this exact mirror for fifty years. Therefore, he had watched her collapse mentally. She felt too responsible was all...and maybe if...he could make her feel like...he could look after everything then...perhaps she would be a bit more...soft.
Maybe her teenage filly instincts would kick in and make her fall in...blurgh! Love with him because she relied on him. Which would make her sappy and cuddly and warm up to him...
He found this very likely. Almost definate infact.
And anyway, it's not like she would be grossed out that much by him. They were around the same age.
Teenage fillies were to easy to manipulate!
Quicker than safe, Discord teleported back into Celestia's bedroom. Or his bedroom rather. And watched her for a while.
He stepped out of the shadows cautiously, because on the other hoof, teenage fillies were very prone to get angry, too.
"Celestia!" He cried delighted. Celestia turned around and gasped to see him standing there. Was he watching her the whole time?
"Wh - What are you doing in here?" Celestia said loudly and stern.
Discord chuckled. "You.." He cackled some more "Maybe..."
She didn't respond in any way. She didn't even look expectedly mad.
"But really, it depends on what you need," Discord stopped cackling and slithered beside Celestia.
"What would I need from you?" She said, stepping away from his talons stroking her under chin, disgusted.
Discord shrugged and wandered off casually.
"Oh, I don't know! To be treated how you longed to be so long ago, to not have all the responsibility, to be able to know it's alright if you don't know what to do.." Discord hissed, knowingly. Celestia looked up at him shocked. How did he know what she longed for? She paused confused. "...To have some...draconequus to rely upon..."
Celestia almost felt like hugging him, grasping on to him and letting her weight be lifted by him. Not because she liked him. She hated him. She was just melting over what he was saying, how reliant his words were, how secure they made her feel. And for a second she was going to give in to the desperate feelings...but she couldn't. Celestia shook her head. This monster didn't want to help her! It wanted to use her! She stepped back and and looked sternly and unpersuasive at him.
"I don't need any of those things from you!" She spat at him, he moved back surprised, his eyes widened and nostrils flared. He was almost going to pounce. Celestia saw it in him and it made her feel scared. It showed in her eyes and that's the only thing that stopped Discord from touching her.
He closed his eyes and calmed himself and let out annoyed and grated laugh. "But you want them, don't you?..."
These words whispered themselves right into her brain. She flattened her ears to the sides of her head, not wanting to take in any more of his words.
But the need and restrain started weighing on her...all she wanted was being waved infront of her, but...somehow... She didn't want it. Which added confusion and it just made her want to collapse into his big sturdy arms and cry.
She wanted to cry all of the weight of everything out onto him ad for him to tell her that it was alright...
But she hated him! She HATED HIM! She just wanted to KILL him!
But after that, no-one would take her tears...
She knew that he didn't care, she knew it was wrong...but she didn't care...
Tears rippled down her cheeks.
She looked up at him shakily, and shakily stepped over to him.
Discord grinned and opened him arms slowly.
With a wail, Celestia flung herself into his arms and just cried.
Discord knew how she needed to be held at this age, it was well known that girls with nopony to rely upon seeked care and affection...but when not from their guardians, the attention they wanted was more...intimate...
Just mildly though, after all, they were still just innocent girls, they weren't aware that what they wanted was rude or innapropriate; they just wanted to feel it. When a girl has their guardians, they're not aware of this feeling, but when there are no guardians, the feeling is aware and stronger and more longing...
So the kind of things that actually managed to make Celestia smile were deep, rough breathing near the neck, firm hold of her, and that sort of dominance that made a female feel secure, not anything actually rude.
Discord delivered.
Throughout her crying he kept over her in dominance, he breathed on her neck making her know someone was there, he did everything!
Why?
Well because she would prove powerful in his reign! She was Allicorn! A Princess!
And a beauty...
Although...there was a slight tingle of guilt at the back of his mind that bothered him; she was desperate, she really needed him...well she didn't want him but she wanted and needed what he was giving her. She needed it so badly, and he felt using her need and her pain was...in a sense...wrong?
Infact, at some points, he almost enjoyed cradling her; even felt it was what he was meant to do.
But it wouldn't last.
About 30 minutes later, the Allicorn was smiling dreamily in his arms and sighing every now and then.
And by then, Discord had regained insane thinking and was trying his best not to unleash an evil cackle. He was successfully hitting Celestia soft spots and he felt her contempt.
He looked down at her, trying hard to look at her softly and gently, but a smirk was very hard to restrain.
Suddenly, Celestia giggled. She got up from laying down in his arms and sat on the bed, looking up at him lovingly. She looked to be thinking lovey-dovey thoughts...blurgh!
Again she sighed. She smiled innocently.
"Thank you," She said somewhat sincerely and like a girl of much younger age. "That was...nice...of...you.." Her face dropped, as if in realisation of who she had just had such a sweet moment with, and she looked down almost guiltily and...somewhat upset.
She sighed. AGAIN. But this time, it was not a dreamy sigh, but a kind of "Oh Dear" sigh.
"It seems you're not that terrible..." At this remark from the Alicorn Discord had to hold in a cackle, he felt like saying "But I am!", but she was not yet his partner in crime and he had to jeep the lovey dovey act up.
Which meant he had to lighten her spirits. Quickly.
He chuckled softly and held her chin up.
"It's OK. You were far too overwhelmed," he paused and looked at her as sweetly as possible. "But I hope you're OK now,"
Unfortunately, Starswirl never had the oppurtunity to tell Celestia or Luna about how well Draconequi could switch personalities, so Celestia thought Discord was being pure...
Celestia smiled again. Thank Goodness!
"I'm much better now," She almost giggled blushing. "because of you..." She whispered leaning in.
Wait! NO!NO!NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO,NO! I AM NOT GOING TO KISS HER! NO WAY! NOT EVER! BLURGH! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
NO! You must! Keep up the act! Just do it...
AHHHH! I CAN'T!
Yes! Yes, you can! Look at her, she's beautiful!
Yeah...but...AHHH! I JUST CAN'T!
Why? Why not?
Because! She's too...
She's too what!?
SHE DOESN'T DESERVE ME, AND I DON'T DESERVE HER!
Why not?
She's too...perfect.
...
She's to perfect for such a messed up creature like me...
...But...you gave her what she wanted...Now you can have what you've longed for. Your desires are more similar than you may think...Except...you never had anydraconequus! Just do it...
O..OK...
They both leaned in...and...
Celestia hesitated.
Which made Discord pull back.
Which made Celestia look away.
Which made Discord feel very uncomfortable...
"I'm sorry..."
"I'm sorry, I must've misunderstood..."
"No! I...It was.."
"No, don't worry! I...I'm fine if...if you changed your mind...It's...just fine..."
Celestia smiled as Discord finished the thumbley mumbling awkwardness of their conversation.
"Let's start again..." Celestia whispered.
WHY!?
