Given Discord's penchant for exploration, it wasn't long before he found his way to the door labeled Mundus. As he had yet to find a door that led to something he didn't enjoy, he went through without a second thought. As he entered, he noted that the door informed him it was the first of Morning Star. As he had no idea what that meant, he ignored it.
The first thing he noticed was that the level of ambient energy in the world around him had taken a steep drop as opposed to the other realms he'd been to. Matter felt much sturdier, and energy much more resilient. He began rubbing his mismatched hands together, eager for the challenge of reshaping this place at a whim. Before doing that, though, he decided to explore the world as it was. Perhaps he'd find something even more fun than that if he looked hard enough.
Much to his surprise, he found exactly what he was looking for...mortals! He instinctively recognized the difference between these beings and those he'd met so far, and instantly knew his superiority. Something deep inside told him that these creatures were but toys to play with to him, and that Daddy and the others like him saw these creatures in a similar light. However, he didn't want trouble at this point, so he decided to be careful not to break these toys...yet.
Well, at least not unless they asked for it.
Much to his surprise, such an event was not long in coming. As he flew over the land, he spotted a warrior doing battle with a giant crab. However, the warrior was hard pressed, as he apparently wasn't strong enough to deal with even this sort of creature. As Discord approached, the crab went for a killing strike, and the warrior prayed, "Oh anyone listening, let me survive this!"
Discord felt his talons tingling. This was a wish! Oh, he loved wishes, didn't he? Grinning widely, he snapped his talons.
The blow connected, and the crab - now in the human's body - died. The human warrior survived, as he wished...but if the frothing and terrified waving of his claws was any indication, he wasn't entirely happy with the outcome. Finding this hilarious, Discord swam on through the air to see what other wishes he could grant, and what chaos would come from those.
Before long, he found himself over a town. He wandered through the alleys for a time, looking for someone who wanted to wish for something. Eventually, he came across a mother having difficulty feeding her infant. "I wish I could make enough milk for you," she murmured softly and sadly, "but I can barely feed myself..."
Discord paused. His talons tingled, but he found he didn't want to pull something like what he did to the man and the crab. After all, would he want someone to grant a wish Daddy made about him that way? He rubbed his talon against his paw...and his paw began to tingle. Curious, he snapped the pads of his lion paw.
Before his and the mother's surprised eyes, her breasts began to expand and spray out copious amounts of milk. Not only was the baby getting plenty to drink, a few of the more well off men in the town started to gather in interest, licking their lips and jingling coin purses. The mother looked startled, confused, and pleased.
Discord smiled to himself. Not necessarily what she wanted, but gave her everything she needed, and left her in an awkward situation she could turn to her advantage if she tried. Feeling he'd done well, he went looking for somewhere else to grant wishes, hoping this next one wouldn't put him in a filly-soft-bike cannon-drum...or whatever Nocturnal called it when his conscience started acting up.
After a long while wandering, he eventually found himself in a much larger city. He chuckled wickedly as he began to explore, looking for an appropriate wish to grant. Eventually, he found the perfect one.
A wealthy man was glaring after a rather lovely woman who had apparently snubbed him. In a fit of pique, he grumbled under his breath, "I wish she were madly in love with me, so I could reject her for once! Let her see how that feels!"
The tingling in his eagle talon was practically making it vibrate. He eagerly put two tips together.
"And just what do you think you're doing?" a voice whispered in his ear.
His talons snapped as he let out a yelp, spinning to face the creature behind him. The feeling of power around it instantly told him this was a being like his Daddy. Despite appearing small, impish, and with a curling pair of horns - to all appearances, a childish man with a passion for animals - Discord knew to step carefully. "Uh...granting wishes?" he offered nervously.
"I noticed," the man replied dangerously. "But that's my thing. My domain. And on my day, for that matter. Not cool. So...why are you stepping on my territory, stranger?"
"It's...fun?" Discord offered worriedly.
"Indeed it is," the stranger replied, his voice turning harsh. "But I'm not so sure I want to share-" He paused, turning towards the scene below them as he heard shouting.
The wealthy man whose wish Discord had been in the midst of granting was screaming in terror, a woman he'd mildly flirted with while buying groceries had dropped dead, choking for air until her face turned black and she toppled onto him. A ways away from the scene, the woman the man had wished about lowered her hand, the sparkle of magic fading from her fingertips as her face curved into an unsettling smile. Clutched in her other hand was an apple core, some hair, and nail clippings that magical viewing revealed came from the screaming wealthy man.
The impish man's lower jaw fell, then slowly rose into an absolutely wicked grin. "He wished for a sorceress to love him, and you turned her yandere?" He cackled in pleasure, rubbing his hands together. "Boy, I like your style! But you're a little too obvious in how you do this. Perhaps you need a bit of tutoring? Yes, that's what you need." He turned to him. "What's your name?"
"Discord," Discord identified himself instantly, holding out his lion paw. "What's yours?"
The impish man blinked for a time, then chuckled, accepting the handshake. "Clavicus Vile."
Discord gasped happily. "Daddy talks all about you! He said you'd like me too!"
"Really?" Clavicus asked curiously, leaning back in thin air with a smirk. "Who is your Daddy? What does he do?"
Discord blinked. He didn't actually know the name others called his Daddy. He wasn't good with big words yet. "Uh...Daddy is Daddy?" he offered nervously. He tried to think how he could explain what his Daddy did...only to realize he didn't actually know yet. "Uh..." Unsure what else to offer, he decided to offer something his Dad had said recently. "...cheese for everyone?"
Clavicus' eyes popped in surprise, and the grin became much more friendly. "Oh, you're Sheo's boy! I'd heard about you, but hadn't gotten a chance to swing by the Isles to meet you. Oh, we're going to have so much fun together!"
Discord grinned widely. "I like fun. You teach me wishes?"
Clavicus chuckled softly. "I'm on the job."
"You big nabob!" Discord added, grinning even if he didn't know where the words came from.
Grinning along with him, Clavicus joined Discord for the next few words as they turned their eyes to the city. "You ain't never had a friend like me."
Really liked this chapter, although Discord is going to have to learn that sometimes, mortals bite.
Not very often, but sometimes.
Ah, two tricksters getting along, such chaotic merriment. Although, now I wish to have the image of that woman Discord 'helped' completely removed from my brain...
WAIT, HOLD ON -
I don't know why, but I imagined the town as being Riften.
I'm guessing the only reason the other Daedra know of Discord is because he knows Sheo's love of cheese.
Who needs philosophic conundrums when you have fun!?
Now I really want Discord to meet Mehrunes Dagon. Or at least Hermaeus Mora.
......well I think this story now needs an M rating.
Oh, dear... Well, we all knew it would happen eventually. Looking forward to more.
Keep up the great work. Deus tecum.
Well I'm glad that Discord knows the difference between good and evil...albeit making a woman's breasts huge and gush out milk and turning a sorceress into a yandere is both in one way lewd(the poor woman) and the other fucking horrifying(yandere's in general) but oh well....
7761003 Please, if you're gonna do it, do it right.
RIP Billy Murray.
Great chapter, glad Discord befriended another Prince. I do like how he didn't do something mean to the woman with the baby, sure it was awkward but she can feed her child and make a living now.
7760978 Those are two of the princes I want to see Discord annoy the most.
That first wish seemed like it had that crabby guy frothing mad.
The second wish is definitely being milked for all its worth.
This third wish is to die for.
I wonder if discord will run into any of the main character heroes like the Dragonborn maybe Sheogorath will have them babysit him. Also i'm wondering is this the original Sheogorath or the hero from shivering isles DLC who replaced him?
LOOK OUT! FOR HERE COME THE ENFORCERS OF MURPHYS LAW!!! YEEHAAW!!!
7761035
...why Bill Murray?
7761054 Doh.... my bad. I'm recovering from sick and the meds are making me stupid sometimes. I meant Robin Williams.
7761039 Daedric Quest: Amuse Sheogorath's son Discord for a day. He likes seeing things going boom, chocolate milk, and pranks. Good luck, you'll need it!
7761039 It's mentioned that Jygalag is part of him, so this is still the old Sheogorath.
7761039 the previous chapter mentioned that he was still jygalag (however you spell it) so this is still original Sheo... Although now I'm curious as to how will Discords first grey march go...
This is great!
7760988 well, it IS a fic for an M rated game.
That said, I think a Teen rating would be fine.
The picture confuses me... Does Loki appear in this story or not?
7761264
He might at some point.
This was just the best image I could find for the story concept.
7761278 You are a great person. I LOVE THIS! *gives Tatsurou a bone crushing hug*
7761267 It's DISCORD. 'Nough said.
7761317 I dunno. Maybe he picked it up from Sheogorath? Maybe Discord's chaos is so strong he ended up doing an instinctive fourth wall break by association? Or maybe it's just another example of how Tatsurou's fics tend to run on some variation of the Rule of Funny.
7761267
Because someone made a wish on Clavicus Vile for the most entertaining stories imaginable.
He got huge stacks of manga.
7761336 Alas, my memories of that movie are rather vague, but going off of what I do remember, I'm going to go with "yes".
*reaches the end of what's written*
Hey, where's the next chapter button?
7761359
He didn't. He willed his magic to fetch a story that fit what the wisher wanted, but that they wouldn't be able to read. Thus, the manga.
Then Clavicus got interested in the manga when he looked at the pictures, so he bargained copies of them to Hermaeus Mora for translations and reference material.
7761569
Basically, yes.
But don't worry. Whoever he did it to, that was probably their fetish. Japanese stuff is weird.
Why can I imagine Vile with a half-Irish, half-New Jerseyish accent, and it works very well?
7761035 Billy Murray isn't dead.
7761612 He was probably thinking of Robin Williams. Though how he could confuse the funniest yeti ever to sail down out of Canuckistan for a guy who got stuck with a groundhog for ten thousand years of February 2nd's is beyond me. :D
7761642 most likely, may Robin rest in pepperonies.
7761680 Well if I was an immortal daedric prince that didn't want to waste my time getting taught how to hunt horkers and my one search is for all knowledge, I'd likely do similar.
Discord is immortal, Hermaeous Mora would want all the knowledge the little chaos god has, would draining that knowledge in a similar fashion to that man be what drove discord truly insane before he ended up in Equestria?
The woman...
and the yandere...
I fear for Equestria upon Discord's return.
Those references. They had me in stitches
But "cheese for everyone" is definitely a perfect way to describe Sheogorath if you weren't able to pronounce his name.
That mindset scares me.
Now, because I MUST...
7762183 OK now i want to see see discord pull a routine like that on someone once he get the handle on talking.
Something i have always wanted to read about since i got interested in the elder scrolls series is the idea of the races of a large group getting mixed around and the antics when things like a former Argonian not realising they can't breath underwater anymore or a new Khajit can't figure out how to turn off the night vision, or them having to deal with either having or no longer having a tail or my favourite a racist ruler ends up as another race and no one will believe who they are who say they are. Really hope a wish like that happens.
Love the new art on the cover!
7763877
So do I.
...think I'll finally stop getting questions about whether or not this Sheogorath is Jyggalag?
7763909 *Closed loading Elder Scrolls Wikia tab & lowers finger/raised hand* Never mind.
7763909 maybe... maybe not you just got to hope for the best in the comments section.
7760937 for some reason I want to think she is the start of the Yandere curse in Yandere Sim
....eh, I like the old cover better.
7763909
No, not really.
so. many. REFERENCES!!!!!!!!!!!
that is all
