The God of Chaos

by Pen Quill

A New Empire

A New Empire

The rain had stopped, the clouds disappeared, but all around Canterlot laid twisted and mangled bodies of several ponies. Even amongst them were young innocent fillies and colts. Those who survived took refuge in homes and shops, hiding away in the closets and storage rooms, cowering from the gaze of a prince turned beast. Discord sat high in the air on Celestia’s throne that he had pulled out himself as he gazed upon his new chaotic empire. It was quiet, and he couldn’t help but smile at his artwork.

“Heh, this was quite fun if I do say so myself.” he said as he snapped his tiger paw and a chalice and wine bottle appeared, filling the cup to the brim as he took a sip, “I wonder what the other castles and towns will hold for me?”

His silence was soon broken by a group of Canterlot guards.

“Stand down Discord, in the name of Celestia!” said the tall muscular stallion at the head of the group.

Within the blink of an eye, Discord had teleported down to them, mere inches from their faces, “Or what? Are you going to arrest me? Oh I’m petrified, all alone in a cold dark dungeon for the rest of my days. Please lock me up and throw away the key warden.” Discord said in a sarcastic manner, making the captain only grow even more irritated and with a glow of his horn, the captain hurled a spear towards the mocking God.

Discord turned his head to the weapon that was rushing towards him, but he did not pay mind to it as he snapped his paw. The spear made contact, but only curled up and fell to the ground as if it was made of rubber. He gave the captain a condescending look as he began to laugh, “Is that the best you can do? Really?” Discord said with another evil giggle before disappearing in front of the guards. The guards standing behind their captain could only hear laughter ring through their heads. Not just normal laughter, it was maniacal and twisted, it sent shivers down their spines as a few tried to shake it out of their senses, until a soft voice could be heard, but there was no source.

“Do you really believe this fool can lead you? Don’t you think you’re more qualified than him to be captain? Look at him, standing there, hooves shaking, he’s a wreck compared to you.”

Many of the guards shook the voice out of their head, all except one. His eyes fixed themselves on the captain and deep inside his belly, he could feel a boiling rage. Something snapped in him, but he could never figure what it was, he just had a desire to put down his weak captain and right a wrong. In his mind, he knew what he had to do as his horn glowed, the spear lifted and aimed towards his captain. The others quickly took notice of their comrades’ actions.

“Stonewall, what are you doing?!” yelled one of the guards, catching the captain’s attention as he turned to face a spear hurling towards his chest. His eyes quickly shut tight, awaiting for his sure death. Seconds passed, and yet he felt nothing. His eyes slowly opened to see his two strongest guards tackling the traitor down to the ground, and at his own hooves, laid the body of his right hoof stallion, in a pool of blood as a spear jutted out from his center mass. A look of pure shock and horror spread on his face as a large skinny shadowy figure grew behind him.

“Tisk tisk tisk, it’s a darn shame when you find out one of your own is a traitor.” Discord said as he glanced over at the three stallions fighting. Each one swearing at each other as Stonewall continued to blast out in rage, “He is weak! I have to kill him to save us from his inferiority!”

The sudden realization hit the captain as he quickly stepped away from the God behind him, “Subdue our traitor and retreat!” his horn glowed again, as his comrade’s dead body was lifted onto his back, and as quickly as they came in, they were gone from Discord’s sight.

A long sigh escaped Discord’s lips as he retreated back to his floating throne, returning to his peaceful relaxation. He was still troubled by thoughts of Celestia. They would come and go and every now and then he would blast a building in his rage. This time however, he didn’t ignore it, but he didn’t lash out. He simply gazed upon a waterfall off in the distance. As he slowly hovered towards the waterfall, memories began rushing back to him. The pain and love he felt for the princess returned and for the very first time since the contract signing, Discord saw what he had truly become, as he looked at his reflection in the water.

“How I was wrong about you dear Celestia. Had I known you would use me in such a way, I would’ve listened to your sister.” He wept.

“It is somewhat my fault as well, Galewind.” Said a soft voice. Discord quickly turned to see Celestia’s younger sister, Luna, standing right behind him.

“I’m not here to kill you, if I was, you’d be dead already.”

“Fair enough. Why are you here? Come to mock me and say ‘I told you so’?” Discord barked at her with menacing eyes, trying to hide his tears that had fallen. She paid no mind to him, only trotting closer to the water’s edge as she took a seat next to the God.

“Not at all, I came to apologize. I should’ve told you the full story from the beginning.” Luna said softly, looking down at her own hooves. “I knew what her plans were from the start, but I didn’t tell you because…because…” her words were becoming harder to say as the sadness in her voice became too much before Discord had interrupted her, “Because you secretly wanted her to succeed, you wanted my people to become just useless pawns in her quest to unite the world under her banner? How many before me has she done this too? How many poor innocent stallions have become victims to her treacherous ways?”

“Galewind…” she tried to explain but was quickly cut off by Discord once more, “No! Stop using that name, I am not him anymore! That name was a stallion who was so foolishly tricked by the words of a deceitful mare. You will address me as Discord, the God of Chaos!” he shouted as a magic prism surrounded Luna, trapping her inside.

“And now sweet princess of the night, you are my prisoner. There will be no more Celestial Empire, only a world of Chaos, and you should be grateful dear Luna. You have a spectacular view of my new empire. Now watch and gaze as chaos spreads all throughout Equestria.” His paw had pointed out to a long stretch of dark clouds as they billowed over the land, engulfing the entire castle of Canterlot.

“I knew you would come to me Luna, and I know with you in my control, your sister will soon follow only to meet her demise.” Discord laughed maniacally as he floated back up to his throne with his new trophy and gazed upon his chaotic masterpiece. Slowly the cloud continued to stretch passed the walls of Canterlot and down the mountain to the villages below.

“Soon father, soon. Your son will do what you have always dreamed of doing. Soon, I will dominate all of Equestria, and there is no pony that can stop me.” He said with a sly smile, snapping his paw as a cup of warm tea appeared in it. He took a small sip from the cup, smirking deviously at his newfound empire as all the feelings of anger and dread were quickly replaced with an overwhelming feeling of joy and accomplishment. This was the fall of the Celestial Empire
