Chapter 2: What Have We Here

"DISCORD!?!" Luna yelled across the castle. Nothing. Not a peep. Not one sound reached the royal mare's ears.It was much too quiet. Luna ran up and down the corridors trying to find the sneaky draconequs. She needed to find him before all hell broke loose. Luna had already checked all the main rooms. She had also checked his main targets, such as the kitchen, Celestia's room, and the royal gaurd chambers. There was no trace of him. It was a though he had vanished! Perhaps he had gone back to his dwelling? Luna pondered Or perhaps he is biding his time, waiting to strike. Where was that trickster, and what was he up too?

Discord stood back as the door slowly opened to reveal... a book. Just a book. It was sitting atop an old pedestal that discord was sure was from back before Celestia even existed. The room was small, and dimly lit but other than the book there wasn't much else. Discord sighed, all that excitement and mystery for a dusty old book?!

"What a rip off" Discord thought out loud "I mean, if you're gonna go to the trouble of hiding something so well, you could at least make it interesting!" Then Discord noticed writing on the cover. There was no dust to brush off, and, as Discord picked it up, the book looked remarkably well kept. There, written on the cover in red ink, were the words

CELESTIA'S PERSONAL DIARY. DO NOT TOUCH. TOUCH THIS BOOK, AND I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE, I WILL FIND YOU. AND I WILL KILL YOU.

Discord laughed, as if a petty warning could stop him.

"Celestia's dairy?!? oh this should keep me entertained for a while" Discord cracked open this wonderful find and began to read.

Life as a Princess is boring. So boring, in fact, that I have to write in a stupid diary to keep me entertained! Oh how I long for adventure and some fun! Why, if I were aloud to leave the castle, I would go to those far away places like the griffin kingdom, instead of Star Swril's stupid library. I would run around the town and play with other fillies and colts. I would have friends And I would be able to live my own life. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I just ran off. But then Equestria would be left without a heir to the throne. I have to go, my mother is calling
Discord yawned, he had expected some more juicy details in this book. Discord flipped through the pages until he found a page that contained his name.
Well I finally did it. I escaped my lessons to have some fun. I was thrilled! I could eat what I wanted, do what I wanted. And for once, I could be who I wanted. I only had few minutes before Star Swirl noticed I was gone. I wandered the garden looking for a way over the gate that kept me contained in this prison. It took a while before I remembered I had wings. I flapped them up and down until I reached the top of the gate. Flying is a lot harder than pegasi make it look. I missed my target and ended up falling on to my plot on the other side of the gate. Oops. I began to run. I had no clear destination, I just ran. I had gotten to a far hill before I ran out of breath. Once up there, I began to ponder my situation. I certainly couldn't go to the village, they would send me home. I had only begun to consider my options when something wet and brown fell from the sky onto me. It smelt like... Chocolate?. I liked some of it of my hoof, it tasted like chocolate too. That was when I heard snorts and giggles. I looked up and saw the most peculiar creature, sitting atop a pink cloud. It was a strange creature. It had a long, snake like body. It's limbs were those of different animals, it looked... Odd
Discord smirked. Odd was one of the kinder ways that had been used to describe him.
I asked him who he was. He told me his name was Discord. We talked for a while. It turns out that Discord was a draqoniquis (is that how you spell it?) and he came from another kingdom. It was the same kingdom my parents declared war on a few years before I was born. Discord told me that both his parents died in the war, and he was the only one of his species left. I felt terrible, after all, it was my parents fault he was alone. We chatted some more and found out we had a lot in common. But Discord could do whatever he wanted, he had no rules and no one to listen to. He's so lucky!!
Discord was slightly confused. He and Celestia used to be friends?!? When?! Discord had no memory of this. Discord flipped the page hoping to learn more about this phenomenon.

"WHAT IN EQUESTRIA'S SWEET NAME DO YOU THINK THOU ART DOING?!?"
Discord turned his head so quickly he nearly got whiplash. And standing in the secret passage, was a very tired, very angry blue alicorn.

"Oh... hi Luna"

I love it! Just one thing..... Celestia, it was stated in The Journal Of the 2 Sisters that BOTH Celestia and Luna went to Star Swirl the Beraded's library. ALL the time and Star Swirl would teach Celestia and Luna spells. They were in fact very interested in Star Swirls Library. Just thought I'd let you know because that confused me a bit. I like it otherwise. It's just that. Also the grammar. I can help with that if you'd like.

Lol love it hope to read more soon.

[nothing_to_see_here]

I like it. Should be fun once we get further in, just don't rush it, nothing good ever comes out of rushing things.

Don't worry, neither am I.

Ah, the old "I'm not good at writing" self-doubt virus...Don't worry about it. You're fine, and I quite enjoyed this story. There are a few minor grammatical and mechanical hiccups—commas placement, quote punctuation—but other than that, a nice enjoyable read. Keep at it!
