Raising Chaos

by Ink Magic

Darkness Rising

As Fluttershy and a young Discord returned to the pegasus' cottage, they were blissfully unaware of the danger that was coming to Equestria. A threat that was planning much worse than simply turning the lord of chaos into a child.

A young, dark colored unicorn stepped carefully around a patch of poison joke, grimacing at the bright blue flowers. Oh, how she hated the Everfree Forest. She trotted toward a large oak tree, its trunk blackened as if it had been burned.

"Lord Noctis." The unicorn called, bowing.

"Ah, my faithful servant has returned." A deep voice echoed from the tree as shadows swirled around it. "Tell me, is the fourth princess, this Twilight Sparkle dead?"

The unicorn swallowed. "N-no, sir."

The shadows swirled faster and crimson eyes appeared. "And why not? Did I not order you to kill her?"

The mare shivered and crouched low. "Y-you did, master. B-but s-she is more p-powerful than we anticipated. S-she shielded herself from the blast!"

The shadows retreated slightly. "And what of the Draconeqqus?"

"His powers are weaker in this form, my lord. It will be easy for you to defeat him once and for all."

If shadows could smirk, these certainly would have. "Good." A dark chuckle. "With their little guard dog dead, the Princesses will be more vulnerable to an attack."

The shadow seemed to be talking more to himself, like somepony reciting the day's shopping list. The unicorn remained silent, having learned that interrupting her master often unleashed terrible fury. Lord Noctis still was not powerful enough to truly rise and form a corporeal body, but his wrath was still frightening and she had no wish to awaken it. Oh how she longed for the day when she would not have to run errands for what was essentially a shadowy fog surrounding a dead tree in the middle of the Everfree. There was no way for her to escape this though. She had sealed her fate when she had been a filly, separated from her parents during its siege by Lord Noctis and King Sombra.

Author's Note:

Meh. Not a long chapter at all. And I'm not happy with this chapter at all. The was mostly to explain Noctis's motivation for turning Discord into a child. Though now I've hit a block. Any suggestions? What would you like to see? Any characters who would fit into this story? Please, I NEED suggestions. he Muses require sacrifi--er...I mean...the Muses need food. They feed on suggestions and reviews. Oh, and what should this unnamed unicorn be named? She's a background character, but maybe she'll escape Noctis's hold and earn herself an epilogue.

Hrmm.... Maybe the deageing spell is slowly making Discord's intelligence deteriorate to the that of a infant? It's not really much, but it will give the story some interesting scenes of Discord freaking out. Gives you some time to think of what you will do next. I shall try to think of something else, if you want my help, that is.
