“I-i-it’s you!”
“Yes, it’s me. Who’s in charge around here nowadays?”
“Y-you are!”
“Get up. I never wanted any of your obeisance. Who was in charge before I showed up just now?”
“I’ll take you to her.”
…
“You’re back! My Lord—”
“None of that now. Tell me: what knowledge has been gained about the founding spells?”
“Too much to summarize. Come with me to the library, and I’ll—”
“There’s no time.”
“What do you mean? O-of course there’s no time here. There never has been. You aren’t in a hurry to leave again, are you?”
He stared hard. “If I’m right, and I plead against the founding forces I’m not, something is deeply, terribly wrong.”
“What could possibly be so wrong that even you and your matchless power could not right it?”
“I have become mortal.”
Hmm... Sombra, perhaps?
Clearly you made it vague on purpose. But no matter! I am patient.

This is the point where I've pretty much committed to writing a third installment for this series. I realized a lot of the headcanons and lore I've been setting up would be kind of a distraction from the point if I explore them too much here. Suffice it to say, the mysteries I leave are meant to result in what I hope to be a satisfying grand finale. It might be a while, but I hope you find your patience pays off!
Yes it is I the reader of the fic lol but seriously who
Uh Raven-Flight duh
WHAT WHO WHAT WHY
WHO!?

All shall be revealed in time... *cue evil laughter*
NOW THAT THE THIRD ONE HAS TOLD US MORE, THIS CHAPTER ISN'T NEARLY AS VAGUE BUT NOW I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS!
Is Discord an elite amongst his own kind?
But "I never wanted your obeisance"? But everyone saying "My Lord"?
Him asking who is in charge but they reply instantly "you are"??
I HAVE A THIRST FOR ANSWERS THAT YOU HAVE YET TO COMPLETELY QUENCH!
Tell meeeeeeeee

Haha, I'm glad you remembered the little nugget of foreshadowing that was this chapter. I hadn't intended the wait to be this long, but fear not—the answers have been written at last and are queued for publishing!
Oh, mystery!
I'm assuming Discord is one of the people talking, and this timeless place must be the "home" he was referring to a few chapters ago. But if that's right, who is he talking to? Why is he in charge? How did he become mortal!?
