//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: Discorded Time // by Fluffy Cloud //------------------------------// It was nighttime. Ponyville had now gone to sleep, all the doors closed and lights out. Only nighttime creatures came out, making little sounds. The moon let it's light shine on a garden. The Statue Garden. The grass was tainted a light blue from the moon's light. The Labyrinth loomed nearby, it's twists and turns casting long shadows. The garden was filled with statues of ponies, but one seemed to stick out. It was Discord, the creator of chaos and disharmony. This was the Discord that had recently been turned to stone by the new bearers of the Elements of Harmony. His face was in terror, since he had been attacked when he thought he had been invincible. A slight chuckle came from the statue, and the statue broke a little. The chuckle became a loud evil laugh, and the statue broke and broke and broke even more until- Boom! A flash of light appeared, then faded. In the statue's place, stood Discord, yawning and stretching. "Ahhhh...it feels good to be back." Discprd grinned and laughed evilly. "Ahahahahahahahahaha!" Then he silenced himself and looked in the direction of the castle and chuckled. "Just you wait, Celestia and Luna. Soon, Ponyville will be the Capitol of Chaos once again!" Discord laughed again, and then he disappeared in a flash of light. Where Discord had been standing, thee was nothing. In the statues place was nothing at all. Bits of stone surrounded the pillar on which the statue of Discord had once been. And then, everything suddenly went back to normal. It would be the last normal things Ponyville would have in a long time. And Ponyville slept on and on and on, unaware of what was happening, and dreaming of Celestia's beautiful morning. No pony had seen Discord's escape. They never knew that they would soon have chaos once again in their lives.
