Thanks to Starlight's spell, Discord sends his past self a present: his future memories. This timeline will see Discord aiding the young alicorn sisters and the pony tribes. Still, they'll have to learn to live with a bit more Chaos in their lives.

Apparently King Bullion was mentioned in the 'Journal of the Two Sisters' book, but that's the only result for his name on Derpibooru.
That was a fucking amazing chapter
Nice job with the foreshadowing. I wonder who it is who pushed Discord over the edge. Also, I love Meshen. He is so cute. Wow, this was great. I loved the characters. Great chapter. May i suggest, an unstoppable weapon for Discord. A mix between Kitten, otter, and rabbit. The ulitmate cuteness. No pony can resisst going AWWWWWW at it, and just staring at it.
Noooo I refuse the king can not be more powerful then Twilight NEVER!
7967937
....I don't get it. What's wrong with that part?
7967923
Just Unicorn Twilight, not Alicorn Twilight. Besides, he'd be considered something akin to the last legend of an ending age.
7967923 he said unicorn Twilight.
My guess is that means in this universe Twilight's ascension made her power jump by several magnitudes. Besides Twilight is the strongest living unicorn before her ascension.
My guess: the kings a broadsword, Twi's a nuclear powered swiss army knife.
He's got more raw power, her power lies in her versatility.
But that's just my thoughts.
As much as I love all the world building you're doing, I have to call BS on this bit.
In the show, Celestia states flat out that Twilight has more magical power than any unicorn she's ever met in her entire life when discussing why she took her on as her personal student. With what you've presented, Celestia plainly meet Bullion even in the original timeline. Even with the AU, this is supposed to be an AU based on a divergence form official canon, and said canon would need to be respected.
Now, if you were to instead say rivals, then it could be up for debate which of the two was more powerful, a debate that could never be settled since they never met. It would also say that they were on the same level in terms of raw magical power in unicorns, a level where it's exceptionally difficult to draw the line of saying who's more powerful since at that level skill and technique determines victory far more often than raw power.
You could then also say "is matched only by Sombra amongst mortals", assuming you wanted to use different words for each one.
7968026
Technically speaking, I said he dwarfs Unicorn Twilight by taking into account offensive magic skill, not just raw power. Seeing as he was born and raised in the less peaceful age before the uniting of the tribes, a unicorn around Twilight's level is likely going to know more offensive abilities.
Not to mention, you're assuming Celestia wasn't exaggerating at all or knew for sure how powerful and skilled Bullion was in the original timeline.
7968102
Ah, specifically in offensive magic?
Okay, then yeah, all that's completely acceptable.
...though technically, Platinum dwarfed Twilight in skill in offensive magic, considering Twilight doesn't actually know any beyond basic 'shoot lasers' and 'make a shield' until she becomes an alicorn.
Another amazing chapter. Love these that you've done here.:D
Well now, this story is a lot of fun.
*then
*foul play
7968325
I don't always count Equestria Girl into canon when I make a fic.
7967989
I think he's saying it's a bit of an awkward run-on sentence. It would probably be better split into two sentences, one each for Luna and Tia. Eg: you have a lot of big words and concepts there (dreamwalking, astral projection, ascended, unmasterable, etc.) in one sentence with no punctuation between them.
Still, awesome. Need more founding-era Discord shenanigans.
7968164
Also stated that the king was one of the strongest not magical. Which is why Twilight fangirls all over Starswirl instead of the king.
Most of the 'than's should be 'then's.
Than: "introducing the second element in a comparison, or used in expressions introducing an exception or contrast"
Then: "at that time; at the time in question, or after that; next; afterwards, or in that case; therefore"
Apart from that irritating grammatical mixup, fantastic story.
This story is just soooo good. best Discord fic ever
nice
though I'm still waiting for the sacrifice of all the virgin mares
that's Discords name in history.
Discord the Devirginer
There are a few words i'd like to say to express my feelings about this story....
I NEED MORE OF IT!!!!
I hope we'll see more Meshen antics soon
not a (space between words).
__________
7968613
He is best colt ^_^.
7968846 Yes
Yes he is
Truly, Meshen is the best colt. I wish only joy upon him.
Great characters. Great story. Great interaction. Great everything!
Missed opportunity to say Warnicorn
7970352
....I didn't know that was a thing.
7970406
vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/star-and-the-forces-of-evil/images/0/0d/S2E3_Star_summons_another_warnicorn.png/revision/latest?cb=20160718213106
7967989 Personal preference. The headcanon that Luna and Tia ascended...by the by, if they were born mortals, why do they say 'for the love of Mother?'
7970562
Ah, yes, that. I can go either way on that. Asfor the other part, I have to assume that before Celestia and Luna were deified in the eyes of the ponies, the ponies still had some figure they prayed to, vague or otherwise.....and I didn't want to use Faust.
7970643 It just feels like a contradiction, and not the fun Discord kind. Most don't tend to swear by their parents unless said parent is a deity. With this implication plus saying these two were born mortal just feels like a paradox.
And for the record, my first comment holds no real venom for you or your story. I'm quite enjoying it. Spent the last half hour reading some of it to my girlfriend, who has a deep fascination with the founders. I was just being a bit hyperbolic towards a headcanon that doesn't make much sense to me, as revering useless canonical characters as gods that ascended from mortal coil makes me roll my eyes.
All in all though, it was one line in an absolutely brilliant story thus far.
Edit: And understandable on the 'pray to deity part'. Yeah, that can be touch and go. Most either tend to use Faust, which can be kinda weird, make up a name, which usually prompts backstory, or just use a generic term like 'creator'.
7970768
Ah! No, you misunderstand what I mean- and misread it slightly. Celestia's is NOT referring to her own mother there. The line was "The Mother" not just "Mother." Much like how various religions refer to a god as "The Father," the ancient ponies refer to some female hypothetical pre-Alicorn deity as "The Mother." Hope that clears things up.
Still, glad you and your girlfriend are enjoying this!
7970866 Ah, I see. That does make a tad more sense. i suppose I'm used to reading it the other way. As I said, background and such. It gets hard to remind myself that every new fic is another AU with alternate backstory and the like.
I was all for this chapter until Discord equated the willful planning for the murders of multiple persons in the migration to deaths that were unplanned accidents in the field of battle. I am rather disappointed.
7971021 It's not like he has any proof.
He can't just say 'Oh, yeah, ponies, this guy was evil in another timeline, so you shouldn't trust him in this timeline.'
They would think that an excuse, all they (and Discord) know is that the Lieutenant is racist against the other pony races, but that's not enough to charge him with treason.
Okay then...read up to the 6th chapter as of right now, and honestly, I'm actually really impressed. I love the humor placed in this, the concept ACTUALLY got me hooked by the first chapter, which I never really expected, usually I give at least two chapters to perk my interest, but you sir... I actually don't really know what to say. I just absolutely LOVE alternate universes that explore this kind of stuff. Although, the fact that Discord REMEMBERS the past timeline kind of comes off as...iffy to me. Not that it's bad right now, I just have bad feeling about it.
ANYWAY, this actually seems like a good fic. You deserve an upvote from me. Keep up the good work.
7971187
Didn't say he shouldn't mind his tongue when speaking of future events, but he would have been far better cutting out that whole bit about how accidents equate to planned, willful, and immoral actions perpetrated not by some random force, but by a thinking person, and instead focus on finding out who the real culprit is because only then will any actual justice be doled out. But, by keeping in how random acts of nature equate to a persons willed choices, he muddies the finding of justice and thus lowers him from point of arbiter to a mere bully whose whims of the day included mouthing off, telling the weaker ponies (whom can't bend reality on a whim) that someone who would murder their family is no different than if they had been struck by lightning and killed, oh, and maybe finding out who really did it, but again, maybe not, because if it's on the same level as a natural disaster then there's really nothing for it. Floods and snow happens, there's nothing you can do about them, and by equating them a person committing murder your saying that you can't hold the murderer accountable, it's just nature. *shrugs* Oh well.
7971566
As opposed to fingering Arcus with no proof after (seemingly) trying to save the ponies at the Pass, thus causing a war between the tribes demanding his blood, and possibly a civil war amongst the pegasi between Hurricane and Arcus? Resulting in the death of hundreds? Which leads to Discord having to go more Tyrant-ish mode to keep them from killing each other? And results in him being public enemy number one again and/or destroying any chance of anything remotely like Equestria forming?
Yes, that's much better than lecturing ponies why they're idiots for assuming the tribe with the most causalities was behind the latest tragedy. I guess he shouldn't have taken the wind out of their sails by pointing out the pegasi suffered more than both of the other tribes combined. And I guess there wasn't a point in getting them to realize on their own(somewhat) that since they have no real evidence this time, they should keep eyes on Arcus, AKA the one behind the tragedy, so that he can't orchestrate something this so easily. Thus making him more likely to be caught or to stop trying.(sarcasm everywhere, obviously)
Of course he could have just made them think it was JUST an accident, but than that wouldn't remind the other two tribe leaders to look out for their own tribalist elements, allowing for more stuff like this to happen.
I'm sorry, but you really had an epic way of missing every point of that meeting, wanting instead to see a demand for immediate justice, even at the risk of war, rather than put everypony on alert to prevent this from happening again and maybe even getting evidence against Arcus that would lessen his popularity and support amongst the pegasi.
Its dirty game called politics that one has to play sometimes.
PS He never said that murder was the same a natural accidents and the like. He was telling them to get their facts straight before making accusations. And the facts were that, while fishy, nothing Arcus did was technically in the wrong or unjustified in that situation. His reasoning for it not mattering if the pegasi did it was A. They've paid for it already if they did. B. Hurricane wasn't in on it. Thus, if they did do it, it means Hurricane has an internal issue to deal with. And C. As they have no proof of foulplay, they have nothing to justify actions against whoever DID do it.
And as a bonus, he's saying they're flankholes for assuming off the bat that this was a conspiracy rather than tragedy right from the get go, that THAT is their gut reaction now.
This makes me think of Discord's true power, like, in a SCI-FI story where a fleet is about to destroy Equestria from space using a super weapon, Discord's doing his own thing. Discord then suddenly stops, drops whatever he's doing, looks up and says No. and the beam from the super weapon just stops.
7971712
What story?????
7971642
You talk about missing points, but don't seem to grasps when someone says, just cut out the bit about murders equating to random natural disasters on a moral ground and just stick to get your facts straight before you try to execute someone, that's exactly what they mean, because that's perfectly fine and reasonable and doesn't threaten the time-space continuum by any future knowledge a time-traveler has brought with them.
7971712 I would assume he says 'no' and the ship explodes into Nyan Cats.
It became less of a thing over time because it wasn't freeze to death cold anymore. Society probably kept wearing clothes for awhile after and only kept wearing them as status symbols later on.
7972297
It's not an actual story. I'm just imagining that scenario in a story.
7972442
No, the point is that he's being serious. Serious Discord is hella scary. The only thing that would happen is the weapon just stops.
7972501 Oh. Are you sure Serious Discord wouldn't just straight up destroy the ship?
Kinda of like with Pinkie Pie.
cdn.meme.am/instances/11859275.jpg
Nice chapter, good work.
Pinkie/Puddinghead does state that the Earth (earth?) is round in the Hearth's Warming play. Could just have been Pinkie being Pinkie. Could also be that it's at least a theory at this point in time.
... Of course I've heard that there are people nowadays who still claim that the world is flat...
Another great chapter!
Lily wants Discord. That is all.
7973754
Lily wants Discord's Dicsord.
7972617
No. Imo Serious Discord is an intimidation tactic. He switches from his normal jokester personality to one that doesn't fuck around. If that isnt enough to scare everyone shitless, he doesn't fuck around with his magic either. No jokes, No humor, straight to the point of showing just how much power he actually wields.
Damn Lily arguing with gods now?
Dis Colt is the best hueuhehehe
