Midnight at Tambelon

by Alyssum Cherubwings

A Promising Prologue

It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, a soft breeze rustled through the trees, and the draconequus sat outside with the yellow pegasus as they enjoyed their afternoon tea.

Discord took a deep breath in, completely relaxed. Times like this were the best. It was just him and Fluttershy, and he loved it. He loved...her.

Life hadn’t always been easy for the Lord of Chaos. His first attempt at friendship had failed miserably, turning him into a cruel, sneaky monster. Endless days were spent terrorizing ponies with his merciless chaos, until one pony had the courage to end those days forever.

That pony had been Fluttershy, sweet, compassionate Fluttershy. Now Discord only used his chaos magic for harmless jokes that didn’t involve turning the entire town of Ponyville into an upside down world of chaotic insanity.

Fluttershy suddenly broke the peaceful silence with an unexpected question.

“What was your childhood like, Discord?”

“My what?”

“Your childhood. If you ever had one, that is. I hardly know a thing about how the Lord of Chaos came to be.”

“It was so long ago that I hardly remember anymore, Fluttershy.”

But although Discord wanted to keep his past quiet from Fluttershy, he did remember. In fact, he remembered it all.
