Equestria has been plunged into a neverending storm of disharmony and nonsense, all by the hand of the entity known as Discord. But the last hope remains in a lonely old unicorn, as he climbs Discord's mountain to fight him, in a desperate attempt to restore the lost harmony.
This story was written before the airing of Season 4, and as such it's full of non-canon stuff.
-----------------------
A short story about how Discord was defeated the first time, written to celebrate Halloween. It comes a bit late, I know, but still I hope you like it.
I had no proofreader for this one, so expect to find grammar mistakes, because English is not my first language. Feel free to correct me at anytime.
Rated Teen for safety, even though I think it's pretty harmless.
I started writing this weird story several months ago, and I left it incomplete. I discovered it recently, and I thought it would be good for Halloween. I don't know if I did it right.
Anyway, thanks for reading, I hope you liked it, sorry if you didn't. Thanks to Grayson Gears for encouraging me to write something for Halloween, and thanks to the moderator who approved this story, whoever may be.
It comes a bit late now, but happy Halloween, everyone.
P.S.: The poem which Discord recites is not mine, I got it from the Emperor Joker comic books.
You'll never see mah face.

1541877 Here's a little trivia: In the original design I made, the light that comes off from Discord's eyes in his true form was black, to make him look even weirder. But I changed it to white to make it look more like Discord.
And you can steal it whenever you want. Suit yourself.
I think I originally had an idea planned for that, back when I started writing this story many, many weeks ago, but I completely forgot about it
So now it's just Discord trying to mess with Star Swirl.
True, I admit it's a bit rushed. Maybe a lot.
But I wanted to give a "logical" explanation of why Discord had such an odd pose when he was trapped the first time, and the only reason I could think of is that the Princesses caught him by surprise, while he was doing other things.
But yeah, maybe I could've done it a bit better.
And thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
I love Discord's little poem. This is a rather nice piece. It doesn't fit in my headcanon, but as long as it doesn't violate what we know of the actual canon, that's perfectly fine by me.
And now it's time to nitpick all the significant and insignificant spelling, grammar, and typo errors!
It's "temporary", not "temporal". Temporal blindness would mean he was unable to see time.
"He" should be "the".
"Laughter" should be "laugh".
"Everytime" should be "every time".
"Strenght" should be "strength".
"No one" should be either "none" or "not one". Also, there should be a semicolon after "anymore" instead of a comma.
It should be "Is his power limitless?" or "Are his powers limitless?"
You don't need any commas in this sentence.
It's spelled "hysterically".
You put an "s" at the end of "Discord".
It's spelled "rhythm".
"happiness"
"Spells" should be "spell".
"Mountain", "answer", and the second "theatre" should each have a semicolon after it instead of a comma.

My bad.
Thanks for pointing them out, I've corrected them.
1544309 One is bound to find a lot of mistakes when one goes into as much detail as I tend to do, no matter how well-written. Even my own stories are no exception to this.
Incredibly interesting, and terrifying at the same time.
Discord is simply a being of chaos, cannot be contained or controlled by mere physical means.
Hard to imagine merely seeing something can leave such a lasting impression. I really like this interpretation of Star Swirl though.
1709984 It's a very lovecraftian concept. The idea is that some creatures are so biologically impossible and so utterly horrifying, that your brain breaks down just by looking at them. Of course, not everyone likes this concept.
I'm glad you liked the story.
Very nice! Dark, but very entertaining.
