"This is the place?"
"It certainly is. The resting place of magic so dangerous even the Elements of Harmony alone could not stand against their might. Oh what delightful chaos it will unleash upon the world. It gives me chills just thinking about it."
"Just work on breaking the seal, Discord. I don't want to rely on your assistance any more than I have to."
"Boo. Little Miss Changeling Queen is quite a sour puss, isn't she, Sombra?"
"..."
"Right, you aren't the talkative type. None of you are any fun! Loosen up a little!"
"We are not here for fun, Discord. You promised us a magic that surpasses the Elements. Lord Tirek will be quite displeased if you don't deliver on your claims."
"I'm working on it, Grogar. Seriously, who shoved Parasprites up all of your-"
"Enough of your insufferable banter!"
"Alright, alright, Mister Grumpy-Crystals. My lips are sealed."
"..."
"Finally it is open! The sooner the Draconequus leaves, the-Gah! What is this blinding light?!"
"Too damn bright, but the magic in the air is incredible!"
"These, dear Chrysalis, Sombra, are the lights of eight powerful magical souls, bound to the very forces that make up our world."
"Souls? You said nothing about this!"
"Wait! Where are they going? Discord! What is happening?"
"Oh, did I forget to mention? Silly me, it must have slipped my mind. You see, the original vessels of these magical souls were destroyed eons ago when their power was sealed away. Now that they are free, they shall scatter around the world, seeking new vessels to inhabit."
"This is not what you promised, Discord!"
"On the contrary, Grogar: I promised to unseal a power that you could use to defeat the Elements of Harmony, and any magic of comparable power; I never guaranteed that you would be able to use them."
"What do you mean?! What kind of vessels are they going to take? How do we get the power?!"
"Oh no no no, that would spoil the surprise, wouldn't it? All I will tell you is this: Seek the vessels as fast as you can, and tame their power whilst the seeds of war spread. Should you bring the power of all eight under hearts filled with malice, then the conquest you seek shall be realized with ease. However, should they find their way to those of righteous heart, then the fate that awaits you will not be so kind. No banishing, imprisoning or seals. The battle for the spirits is one to the death."
"You-"
"I bid you all farewell! I hope you all stir up plenty of chaos!"
"Discord!”
tension between villains? who would have thought...
*Slowly claps* That will do Discord, that will do.

Why thank you my dear reader, I do like to think that I captured Discord's personality quite well here. XD
entertaining prologue discord acted as expected of course :P
I enjoyed reading discord's dialogue!
Umm, Legend of Dragoon Crossover? My favourite PS1 game (quite possibly my favourite game of all time)? Time to read this! You have my attention and a decent prologue. Time to read the first chapter!
very nice.
I've never really liked the idea of something being "more powerful" than the elements of harmony. There are plenty of ways to have them be inapplicable without flat out denying that friendship is the ultimate force, which is sort of the premise of the whole show...
I listened to this particular ditty during this chapter
It suited the mood nicely
Thanks to what this is crossing over, I imagine King Sombra as Emperor Doel

Wow, it actually does pretty well. I'm quite pleased that a scene I wrote could be fitted to a piece of music from the game. Only helps affirm in my mind that I'm doing something right if the feeling matches like that.
Thank you!
Hm. Interesting...
*grins maniacally* Oh, this shall be fun!
