A dragon who is not really a dragon turns up in Celestia's bedroom. She calls herself Glory, Spirit of Righteous Warfare, and she might possibly know something about a Spirit of Chaos who is currently a piece of statuary that may make Celestia rethink her strategy. Is pretty much a pre-story to "Keep Calm and Flutter On". Also, yes, this a crossover, although not the kind where the main characters from one fandom meet the others, and Glory is not an OC, but it might be hard to figure out who she is given that in the canon she comes from, she's not a dragon and her appearance was small enough that I've had to invent a lot of her personality. Ten points to anyone who figures it out before the notes at the end.

wow love your story very interesting to read
loved it 100% 
I loved this story. It delivers a great backstory for Discord & a much better reason for his reformation. I also loved the Q Continuum connection.
Excellent work.
Well done. I would like to see you take this a little further and possibly show some of “Keep Calm and Flutter On” from Celestias view point. Possibly with Glory popping in under massive mage shields for one comment “thank you”. As for your comment on your age. Don't bet on it.

Thanks, Bronzedragon. I do appreciate it.
As for the comment about my age, it's a joke because my son is a brony who's an active participant in forums and reads fanfic. I don't think he writes anything he's been willing to publish, but I'd encourage him to do it if he felt like it.
I'm working on a fic now which is a followup to this that surrounds and parallels the TNG episode "Deja Q". Basically, if Discord has real friends, why would he have taken refuge with "the closest thing he has to a friend" (Picard) in Deja Q instead of his *actual* friends? Well, he thinks he's doing the right thing. Fluttershy doesn't agree.
Warp 10/10 for this story.
A very interesting background...
I wasn't even guessing a Trek character at first, though I suppose I should have. Based on the story descripton alone, my guess was the Incarnation from Magic: the Gathering. (Incarnations being incredibly powerful spirits. One of them is called "Glory".)
And this story goes completely at odds with my interpretation of the characters, but it was an interesting and unique take on things that doesn't, as far as I can tell, conflict with any canon.

Yes, specifically the Q played by Suzy Plakson in the Voyager episode "The Q and the Grey" about the Q civil war.

In this continunity of things, with Glory being the Q in voyager, and future stories having some of the other Q's appear. Do you have plans for Q2 to show up ie: his son he conceives with Glory in Voyager, and whom becomes eternally bound too him
