It really hasn’t been a great day for Discord: First his appendages mutiny, then he discovers that he’s got a conscience, and if to add insult to injury, Celestia suddenly wants him to babysit her little sister on her adventure to rescue the changeling race. As if he didn’t have anything better to do! Can you imagine it, the spirit of chaos trapped in a land which is full of nothing but sand, stone, and historical ruins? To immortals, however, history is but another word for their own past.
Join us as Discord reports this high strutting tale, full of excitement, forgotten treasures, exotic cultures, romance, and not to forget a sizeable deal of chaos.

Sequel to White on Black, but if you're ready to accept some weirdniss in the beginning readable on it's own.
2933734 What are you speaking of good sir? Clearly there must be a leak in your hazmat suit since you seem to be hallucinating.
Pfft, grammatical errors in my stories, as if!
2933744
Huh, I wasn't expecting the Discord narration but you do his voice pretty well, though the quasi-romantic obsession with Fluttershy probably isn't quite canon, it fit and you didn't make a big thing of it.
I'm also a bit surprised Celestia was wiling to go back and eat her salad, considering she just saw evidence Discord tampered with at least one of the plates of food on that tray.
so does this story take place after or before the wedding? since chrysalis still seems like a prisoner in this part.
2934921 Things will become clearer in the next chapter.
"subject to my whims".
Her parole, if it's Chrysalis.
2935979 Biatch pliatch, someone forgot ponyfication:
Hahaha, love it... you write Discord really well... can't wait to see what you do with this one, Menhir
2935979 2936397 2933748 Just in case I never have mentioned it, there's just no way to describe how much I adore and hate you guys at the same time. xD
2939068 *bows* purple is our ruler.
2939068
Hatred gives adoration spice.
Oh my god, this is a companion, isn't it? It happens ALONGSIDE the other story.
2973437 Whatever gave you that idea? ^^
2939068
That is all.
Changeling mythology à la Neil Gaiman?

But shouldn´t Ananse be a spider?
2973938 Who says he isn't? ^^
2973437
Other story?
~Have a good one.
2989258 White on Black.
Poor Discord.
Of course it would be easier for both of them shapeshifting or using magical illusions... but what is the fun in that?
A bit of a penny pincher, aren´t you Luna?
Ah, there aren't many things I enjoy more than a decently written Discord.
The bit where Celestia attempts to console Discord was both hilarious and reminscent of a scene in Buffy where Willow talks to Spike after he can't bite her, though perhaps slightly less innuendo laden that one (if only slightly).
I'm going to theorize that attempting to commit to doing good is weakening his connection to his powers because he's not being purely chaotic anymore.
Spirit of 'Enterprise', huh? Uh huh. No reference there.
Nope.
3017127 Magic is a bit more restrictive in my interpretation of the 'verse, and shapeshifting is pretty much a changelings-only skill.
3055085
Both Luna and Discord have showed shapeshifting powers in canon.
3055092 Psst! Nobody noticed yet!
Mares and Gentlecolts, our majestic, co-ruler of Equestria, apparently channeling her inner Twilight Sparkle
Flim and Flam, brilliant inventors and the most horribly ineffective matchstick men ever.
Hoo, boy.
This story is great so far; you've got Discord's voice and personality down pat, and this story has actually made KCAFO worthwhile.
Well, it could be worse.
At least you have a Platypus.
Who knows, it might be a secret agent.
Reading up on Australian wildlife have you? Let's hope that they have some Vegemite to spread behind their ears if they travel into drop bear territory. And I just knew Discord would make an infinite improbability drive with his magic.
3275967
Then maybe a certain villain will show up and they can hitch a ride.
3276009
Well of course, what other mode of transportation would be more appropriate?
I repeat: normality has been restored. Anything you can't cope with is therefore your own problem.
Unknown to Luna, had she had any friends who lived in Celestanstinople, they'd be buried in Istanbull.
And even old New Yorkshire was once New Maresterdam.
Why'd they change it, we can't say?
Everypony just like it better that way.
So, take us back, to Celestanstinople;
No, you can't go back to Celestanstinople;
It's a long time gone for Celestanstinople;
Why did Celestanople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks.
ISTANBULL
...couldn't resist. I apologize.
3451639 As an connoisseur of colourfull little equines I'm used to people breaking into song and dance at random intervalls. :P
Well Luna sure likes the new plot.
Cadi would be so proud of her.
Celi would laught her flank of.
And Bugi would squeal with glee.
I so love this story.
I was surprised it was Istallionbul and not Istanbull, but I suppose the lack of minotaurs explains it.
Your author's note reminds me of the one in Jasper Dash and the Flame Pits of Delaware (third in a series after Whales on Stilts and the Case of the Linoleum Lederhosen), where the narrator assures the audience that this far off land is definitely not being misrepresented from limited experience with the place, as the author has no experience with it.
Did I mention Delaware has jungles, forgotten temples, and dinosaurs?

Downvoted for spelling your name incorrectly, missing punctuation, and forgetting to capitalize letters.
4839756 No white knighting in my comments please. If I feel a comment is unnapropriate, I will delete it. Thanks for the concern though.
4839056 Thank you for your critique. Perhaps not the politest, but I'am always glad to see someone state the reason why they disliked my story.
4839828
Agreed, and apologies. It's just an unfortunate pet peeve of mine for someone to criticize and then make the same mistakes. My only real problem was that he was a bit rude about it.
I'm glad to see this update. I just don't remember what Discord and Luna were looking for anymore. Time to do a little perusing old chapters, I suppose.
so much dust on this shelve.... no updates for like forever!
Why is this on hiatus?
5811546 Lack of continued interest in MLP; Since the writers opted to ignore continuity in favor of humor (a perfectly valid decision) the MLP universe just doesn't have much that keeps me interested in it.
Nice mythology.
I wonder if the wind Walker is the king of the gryphons.

Agh! My face!
Heh. Loving this Discord characterization.
