//------------------------------// // Flashback part II // Story: Hello Daddy // by GRANDTHEFTPONY //------------------------------// After we were done liberating the forest of harmony, we looked upon our work with joy, this little unnamed filly really had a knack for this. Me and her spent the entire day, thinking of all kinds of different ways to help the inhabitants of that town learn the joys of chaos.(For Fluttershy might faint reasons, I have chosen to leave those parts out.) I was starting to really come to like this child. But then I realized something, after spending an entire day with this unnamed child, I have never met before and know little to nothing about: I forgot to ask her if she wanted anything to eat. In the floating ruins of a rainbow colored black castle, a small child sat at a table that was somehow made of butter scotch jello. Looking around, you would notice that what was left of the walls seemed to be painted in slurry blobs of random color, that to slowly shift whenever you turned your back and the windows would show random images of everything, but whatever was outside. “Brunchinnerack time is served!!!!” Discord yelled, as he flew through a solid reinforced concrete and steel door, that led into the dishwasher. He flew in front of where the child was seated and pulled out a 16.7 ft stack up mint bubblegum cottoncandy flavored waffles, with chocolate maple syrup, and a gallon milk jug of root beer flavored chocolate milk, causing a huge smile to spread across the child’s face. The very second discord sat down the food, she leaped onto the the platter and started digging in. The spirit smiled at the sight of the young filly digging into her dinner like an unkempt wild animal, before sitting down in his personal throne that showed up out of nowhere. But then, thought of something else he hadn’t asked her yet: What was her name? This whole time, he had not given a single thought into finding out more about this little creature. Not that it really mattered, but still, he was starting to grow curious. “Excuse me child..” She jumped a little before staring up at her new “friend”, one chunk of a waffle still hanging from her mouth. “Forgive my intrusion of your gourmet meal, that was obviously crafted by a master chef, but I don’t think I ever got your name, my dear.” Her happiness immediately disappeared, as she drooped down. Noticing this, Discord cocked his head, sensing that strange feeling he often felt radiating off of other ponies; but for once it didn’t seem to be directed at him. It was odd feeling for him, even to just be around somepony feeling it. It was almost like… NO, not even going there, he told himself, before hearing the look back towards the child. “Uhm… I don’t really want to...:” Discord put his claw on her mouth, not really sure why he did it. “Shh Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.” He said, while wrapping his tail around her, still not at all sure of why he was doing, but that probably, just made the world a little more chaotic And that is why I’m not telling anyone, exactly what she told me. Moving on. After we got that out of the way, I took the child out to see my little kingdom. Oh, the girl couldn’t have been more astounded. I know others have embraced my rule, but that was only after experiencing it long enough, for all the joy and beauty of chaos to sink in. But with her, it all just seemed to come so naturally. She enjoyed chaos with or without my rule, and was one of the few ponies to see harmony and order, for revolting things they are. After just one day, I was actually starting to…. to get a feeling I hadn’t felt in a long, long, long, long time. I was actually starting to care for her…. Discord and the Filly looked out into the chaotic landscape: the sky was a mass of random colors dotted with pink clouds, that rained chocolate milk. The land was full of random floating objects, melted clock, upside down mountains, peanut butter, and nervous ponies, that would either bow before Discord or cower and the ruins of what might of actually been a major city, at one point or another. With a snap of his claw, the ground started to shake, causing the ponies to jump in fear, and the young filly to burst out laughing. Discord smiled at the site of her happiness, before tapping her on the shoulder and pointing behind them. There, a large orange and blue hill had appeared, topped off with both a large and a small green and yellowish-orange throne. She looked up at him with a huge smile, as he nodded and guided her to her seat, before pouring both of them, a large glass of chocolate milk. “Kid, watch in learn, I’ll show you every single big little thing there is to know about spreading chaos around….. whatever the name of this country used to be.” She was looking up to him with a huge smile on her face, as she took everything in. She remembered how all of the other ponies used talk about a monster that lived outside the walls, and if anypony ever ran into him, he would do unspeakable things to them. But from what she saw, he had been nothing but kind to her, and he only used his magic only for the entertainment of himself and the ponies around him. Admittedly, even she was more than a little creeped out about by what he did to the mare and her guards, but it’s not like they didn’t deserve it. For all the time she was there; all the adult ponies did was shun her, tell the other fouls to do the same, let the other fouls get away with throwing stuff at her, but punish her if she ever did the same, and they’d only reluctantly give her anything to eat, or let her have a bed, but still told her that the monster and her ways of chaos were bad. On contrast, this monster was nothing but nice to her and he was the only one to ever, encouraged her to be what she was, without threatening to throw her out to the “wasteland” they always spoke of. “(yawn) Well it’s been fun kid, but I think it’s time to we split up.” ‘WHAT!!!’ The filly thought, as his statement hit her like a mare knocking her into a dirt road, for coming too close to her daughter. “So, where would you like me to dro…” Before he could finish, the young pony jumped on him and hugged him so tightly, he almost lost his breath. “No! please don’t go!” She screamed, with tears starting to form, as she squeezed even tighter. Discord didn’t know what to think. It was unusual enough that a pony actually being appreciating his company, but now willingly wants to stay with him? “Is there something wrong, my dear. It seems like you don’t want me to leave you, for some reason.” He said, deciding to try that empathy thing so many ponies had tried to talk him into, for some weird reason. He looked down, into her teary eyes, still not sure what to make of her. She swallowed a lump in her throat and sniffled a little, before she spoke. “Please mister monster, you.. you're the only one thats ever been nice to me.” She sniffled some more, before wiping her eyes and trying to stop anymore tears from falling. “Please let me stay with you, I don’t want to go back, please. I’ll do anything.” She said, as the monster held her up closer and wiped away the remainder of her tears. He looked her over a little more, now filled with something…. he thought Tia called it pity the last time she and the freedom fighters came to visit. Then he got an idea. He looked her over some more, trying his best to do that comforting thing, and thought it over some more. He had never used this trick before, it might not work, its effects were irreversible, he only had a vague idea about what it did, and it he had only just met this child. But, he wouldn’t be the unpredictable lord of chaos and disharmony, if he wasn’t willing to take a few big chances. Finally, he gave her a smile, before sitting her back down. “Are you sure?” She looked up at him, a little hope being restored. “Are you absolutely sure this is what you want?” He said, in an, uncharacteristic ominously serious voice, that even he didn’t no he had. “Because, there is a one way I could make it so, that you would never have to leave my side again.” Suddenly out of nowhere, she jumped up into the air with a new aura of enthusiasm and excitement. She was about to scream with joy, but a certain talon pressed itself against her lips. “But, it comes with a price. You see once this is done, our bond will never break, but you may never be the same again, my dear.” He said, before moving his claw away from her. “YES!!!!!!!YES!!!YES!!!!!!! I’ll always say YES!!!!!!” She said with so much enthusiasm, even a stick in the mud like Tia could never say no. He smile and messed up her mane. “Ok. Just sit back.” She listened with an enormous unbreakable grin on her face. Normally Discord didn’t even have to try to make anything happen, it just happened with a little thought. But for this, he needed all of his concentration and power. He raised both his paw and his claw, and enveloped them in a glowing dark red aura, that slowly spread across his whole body, as the child waited anksha sly . In a mere fraction of a second, the glowing red aura that had consume his body blasted the little filly, causing her to be covered in the same energy. As the energy consumed every fiber of her being, she grunted, not sure of if it was from pain or just sheer shock. Suddenly, it all stopped. It energy dissipated. She felt cold and wanted to close her eyes and lay down, as her heart slowed down. That’s when it happened. Out of nowhere, she felt a heat surge through her body and jolting her back to life. I watched as the spell I learned from people older than me took it’s effects. I was admittedly a little worried when her heart almost gave out, but she not only survived, but I sensed a change both physically and mentally about her. Her pupils had turned into purple swirls in her eyes and where a her flank was blank earlier, it was replaced by an interesting ball and screw cutie mark. She was definitely something more than a pony now.
