Birds chirped and the sun shined. At that moment, most creatures where out having fun. A petite doe stood in front of a tree with her eyes closed. Hanging from the tree, their was a punching back. She let deep, slow breaths. Her eyes snapped open, and she kicked the punching bag with her hind leg. She kicked it hard enough for it to be blown right off of the branch and into the side of her house. The small doe smirked. She turned to her griffin friend who laid on the ground.

“How was that Osiris?!” She asked excitedly. Osiris looked at the stop watch in his talon.

“3.5 seconds.” He stated. The doe pumped her hoof.

“That’s a new record!” She exclaimed while doing a little dance. Osiris rolled his eyes.

“Why do you participate in such mindless violence, Hazel?” He asked. Hazel stopped dancing and turned to him.

Because if anyone picks on me or you or any of our friends, I’ll beat them up.” Hazel stated, doing another kick as an example. Their friend group was known for being picked on. Hazel had thick blue horns instead of skinny white ones. Osiris had yellow eyes with red pupils that resembled to a cat. He also had a deformity, instead of having two talons, he had one and another lions paw. It caused him to walk in a limp. They were always the first to get picked on, and their friends weren’t any better.

“No ones going to pick on us.” Osiris said with a sigh.

“Everyone always picks on us! The only reason why they stopped was because of Princess Celestia and Luna.” Hazel said. Osiris sighed. It was true, once ponies saw them hanging out with the Princess, they got more respect. Flower petals fell from the sky, making them both look up. On the cloud above them, the saw a green dragon with dark purple wings tossing flowers down.

“Eris, what are you doing?” Hazel asked with a deadpan expression. Eris peeked from over the side of the cloud.

“Just spreading my love to you.” She said as she continued to toss the flowers. Hazel sighed. Eris was too nice for her own good. In Dragon Lands, she got picked on for being too nice, here ponies ran away from her and thought of her as a monster. Ponies would kill her if she just sneezed. If she didn’t learn to stand up for herself, she could get hurt. Osiris smiled as a petal landed on his head. A petal landed on Hazels nose, causing her to sneeze. The fence of the backyard swung open, making everyone turn to look at it. A brown pegasus with blue wings dramatically flew into the backyard and posed in the middle of the grass.

“You’re king has arrived!” He exclaimed dramatically. Eris laughed at his sudden appearance.

“Hey Ocean, what got you in such a good mood?” Hazel asked. Ocean pulled out a few pictures, revealing himself.

“I got to be a model for next weeks issue of ‘Handsome Stallions!’” Ocean exclaimed happily. Osiris smiled. It was nice to see him getting to be the model he alway wanted to be. He usually got rejected for anything because his wings were a noticeably different shade from the rest of his body. Most companies described it as ‘too distracting’ or ‘just plain ugly.’ He had never seen Ocean this happy in his life. A loud crack of thunder boomed, making them all jump. They looked up to see dark storm clouds rolling in.

“It isn’t supposed to rain today.” Hazel said suspiciously. Ocean let out a groan.

“Oh no, I know that tone. You’ll go to the Princess for any little problem that you find. You once reported a foal for crying too loudly. It’s probably just a mistake or something.” Ocean said. Hazel stomped her hoof.

“I got the foal out of an abusive household and you know it.” She shouted. She turned to leave.

“I’m going to the castle to report this and none of you can stop me!” Hazel said while marching off.

“We weren’t going to try!” Eris shouted back while tossing a few more flower petals into the air and watching them fall onto the ground. Hazel walked down the streets of a small village that wasn’t on any maps. It was the only place where she and her friends could live without everyone judging them. A frail old mare that ran the local flower shop tripped and fell over. Hazel walked over to her.

“Are you okay ma’am?” She asked in concern. The mare looked up at her, she looked pale and her eyes glowed white. She had a blank expression on her faceZ

“Of course I am, why wouldn’t I be?” She asked in a montone voice. Hazel took a few steps back. She looked around to see a few ponies staring, in the exact same state as the mare. Their eyes followed where ever she moved. Hazels eats flattened before she ran straight into the forest.

She had to contact the princesses and fast.


Hazel walked into the castle to see Celestia and Luna looking out the window in concern.

“Princesses, there’s something wrong with the weather and the ponies in town.” Hazel said, making both princesses look at her.

“We noticed, this is completely out of our control.” Luna said. “We contacted the weather team and they have nothing to do with it, they can’t make contact with them without get severely injured. Most of our Royal Guard is off duty because of it. Not even we can control the clouds. The ponies won’t respond to anything the Guards say.” Luna continued.

“I fear that this is the work of Grogar.” Celestia said. Hazel tilted her head.

“Grogar?” She asked.

“Hundreds of years ago a highly dangerous villain name Grogar. He was one of our greatest threats we ever faced. He can control creatures and adsorb magic, making him more powerful than ever.” Celestia explained. Hazel let out a gasp.

“I need you and your friends to defeat him before it’s too late. Remember to use your wits, he is very smart.” Celestia said, making her horn glow. She pulled out a small wooden chest and handed it to Hazel.

“Here are the Elements, you need to hide somewhere safe before you attack.” Celestia said. Before Hazel could respond, the castle doors burst open. They turned around to see almost all of the royal guard with pale skin and white eyes. Celestia and Luna got into defensive stances.

“Hazel, run!” Celestia shouted. The guards charged at the princesses. Celestia let a beam of magic shoot from her horn and hit a few of the guard, knocking them over. They got up unfazed and continued to attack.

Hazel ran towards the exit, only to be blocked by a few guards. She tossed the small chest into the air and kicked a guard in the chest, causing him to fall over. Hazel jumped over the fallen guard and caught the chest in mid air. She bolted out the door and into the forest. She turned around to see guards a few feet away. She ran as fast as she could.

A red hand came out from behind the trees, covering Hazels mouth a pulling her in. Hazel squirmed around in the kidnappers arms, trying to escape.

“Hazel it’s me.” The creature said in a whisper. She reconized that voice. It was her friend, Treble, a red siren. The guards ran past their hiding spot. Once they were out of sight, Treble uncovered Hazels mouth. She gestured for Hazel to follow her. They approached a large rock. Trebel lifted up the rock to reveal a large hole in the ground. The walked into the hole and the rock slammed over them. They stood in a dark cavern.

“Where are we?” Hazel asked. There was a soft click and a small flame lit up a lantern. She looked around to see all of her friends. A stallion spoke up. He was grey with a white goatee and white antlers, which was beyond unusual for a pony. It was a result of a failed potion that he tried to do as a young colt. The effects were irreversible.

“This is a library below the castle, it looks like it’s been abandoned for years.” He said.

“How are you sure it really is abandoned, Silver?” Hazel asked. A small blush appeared on his face.

“Sometimes I come down here to read.” He admitted.

“What’s going on with everyone?” Treble asked.

“Princess Celestia told me that Grogar is doing this.” Hazel said. Silver let out a gasp. He grabbed a book and flipped through the pages. He landed on a page with a picture of a blue goat like creature with large curled horns and red eyes.

“Grogar nearly conquered all of Equestria hundreds of years ago. He destroyed all homes and food sources. He enslaved all creatures for his own bidding. He was barely defeated when Princess Celestia and Luna used their most powerful spells. He got locked away to Tartarus. He must have escaped.” Silver explained.

“Princess Celestia told us to use the Elements of Harmony to stop him.” Hazel said, opening the chest to reveal them. Ocean grabbed his element of Laughter and put it on.

“Let’s get going then!” Ocean said, ready to hop out of the library. Before he could leave, he was stopped by Eris.

“You can’t just go out there, it can be dangerous.” Eris said. Hazel nodded her head.

“Princess Celestia said that Grogar is clever and we need to outsmart him.” Hazel said. Everyone nodded there heads.

“I have an idea.” Treble said. Everyone leaned in. Time to start the plan.


They walked into the throne, wearing their Elements close to them. Grogar smirked when he saw them walk up to the throne. On one side Celestia sat their with a blank stare. On the other side, Luna had the exact same look.

“I see you came here to defeat me.”Grogar said. Hazel shook her head.

“We’re here to surrender.” Hazel said, dropping her crown onto the floor. Her friends followed, and dropped their Elements onto the floor. Grogar gave a look of surprise.

“Giving up so easily?” He said with a smirk. “Guards, show them to their cells.” Grogar commanded. The guards walked up to them and started to chain them together. They walked down the hallway. Right before they entered the dungeon, Hazel tapped her hoof on the ground three times. Silver nodded his head.

Silvers antlers started to glow brightly and a boom echoed around the castle. Everyone opened there eyes to see a bubble surrounding them. On the outside of the bubble, the royal guards laid on the floor, sleeping. The bubble surrounding them disappeared.

“They should be asleep for a few hours.” Silver stated. His horns started to glow again and the chains around their necks started to melt.

“Let go find the Elements.” Osiris said. The walked down the hallway, stepping over sleeping guards. Treble floated past the group, making sharp turns.

“Guys I found them!” Treble exclaimed from a different room. They ran into the room to see the small chest wide open, revealing the Elements. Treble put the Element of Generosity around her neck. Eris did the same with the Element of Kindness. Osiris picked up the Element of Loyalty, securing it around his neck. Silver levitated the Element of Honesty towards him. Hazel inspected her crown closely. A tiny microchip was in the side of it.

“Wait it’s a trap!” Hazel exclaimed. The Elements tightened around their necks, causing them to choke. A raspy laugh echoed around the room. Hazel spun around to come face to face with Grogar.

“You really thought you could outsmart me?” He said with a laugh. Hazel took a few steps back.

“How did you escape the sleep spell, it was supposed to effect the whole castle.” Hazel asked.

“I’m resistant to simple spells.” Grogar said with a smirk. Hazel looked at her friends who where laying on the floor, struggling to breath.

“Please stop, you’re hurting them!” Hazel shouted. Grogar rolled his eyes and stopped his hoof twice. The Elements loosened. They all took deep breaths.

“To make sure you don’t try to betray your King again, I’m going to kill you.” Grogar said nonchalantly. Their eyes widened at the sound of that.

“Don’t even try to run away, because I’ll find you, kill your friends, and torture you for years.” He said. “Celestia, Luna, take care of them, and make sure to use all of your magic on them.” Grogar said as he started to leave the room. Celestia and Luna walked in front of them. Hazel looked around. He was right, there was no way they could get out of this, he had eyes everywhere and creatures stronger than them. She couldn’t just let her friends die like that. The princesses horns started to glow, charging up their attacks. The good thing about them using all of their magic was that it would take a few minutes before they died.

“Hazel, we need to think of a plan and fast.” Ocean said. Hazel stared at the ground.

“There’s no way out of this.” She said.

“No, we can’t give up!” Eris exclaimed. Hazel shook her head.

“You heard what Silver said earlier, Celestia and Luna could barely defeat Grogar with there most powerful spells!” Hazel said.

“We can do it, I know we can.” Osiris stated. Hazel stomped her hoof on the ground.

“We can’t, it’s impossible! All of Equestria is going to be under his control!” Hazel shouted. Silver pondered for a moment.

“I know something that might work.” He said. Trebles eyes lit up.

“What is it, we need anything at this point!” Treble stated. Silver gave an uneasy look.

“I found a spell that harnesses all of the magic from a creature, if we combine it with the Elements of Harmony, then we can defeat him.” Silver said.

“Then let’s do it then!” Eris exclaimed in excitement.

“There’s a problem. If we do this, it could kill us all.” Silver said. They all gasped and gave each other scared looks.

“If anything happens, I want you to know that I love you guys. You were my best friends.” Eris said, tearing up slightly.

“Don’t say that, we made a promise to stick together.” Osiris said. He was right, years ago they made a promise to always be friends no matter what. Princess Celestia and Luna’s horns started to glow brighter. They were about to attack.

“We need to do something now, it’s either us or Equestria.” Treble said.

“Then let it be us.” Hazel said. They nodded there head and Hazels antlers started to glow.

“I love you guys.” She said. The Elements started to glow with them and they levitated off of the ground. At that moment, Celestia and Luna finally attacked. The beams hit them, causing them to all scream in pain. Hazels Element absorbed the magic from the attack, and there was an explosion. Princess Celestia and Luna fell back. The color came back to there bodies and they open there eyes. They gasped when they saw what was happening in front of them.

“You can stop the spell now!” Celestia exclaimed. It seemed that they weren’t able to hear her. Everything went silent for a moment. If you were outside the castle, you would have seen a bright light from all of the windows.


Hazel opened her eyes and looked around. She looked up to see Celestia and Luna talking to each other in concerned voices. Her body felt different and wierd. She tried to move but only her rear leg lifted up and landed back on the floor with a thump. Celestia and Luna’s heads turned at the noise.

“I see that you’re awake.” Celestia said. She sounded stressed. “How are you feeling?” She asked.

Hazel opened her mouth to say ’Everything hurts’ but something else came out.

“I’m feeling just peachy.” She said. It sounded like something Eris would say. Her voice was noticeably deeper and she had an accent. Luna flipped through a book.

“Sister, I can’t find any spells on separation.” Luna said with worry in her voice.

”Why would she need a separation spell?” A males voice asked. It sound like Silver.

“Silver? Where are you, I can’t see you anywhere.” Hazel said to herself.

”I can’t find any of you. But it looks like I’m in the throne room.” Ocean responded. Hazel moved her arms. They felt weird. She moved one arm in front of her face. It was a paw. She blinked in surprise.

“Oh no.” Silver muttered. He tried to stand up, but fell back on the floor with a thud.

“What is it?” Treble asked. Hazel felt her tail flick without her control.

“Instead of the spell killing us, I think it combined us.” Silver said. Their eyes widened. They tried to stand up again, but flopped down on their stomach. Their body felt lanky and loose.

“Okay, on the count of three, we move each limb to try to stand up.” Silver said. “One, two, three.” Silver said. Hazel tried to mover their arms, but only got ahold of one of their hind legs. Osiris had control of both arms. Eris had control of the other leg and one of the wings. Ocean flapped the other wing and Treble pushed upright with the tail.

Soon, they stood up and looked around. The princesses didn’t seem to notice that they had gotten up. They slowly looked around the throne room. Everything looked completely normal besides a few cracks in the floors and on the walls. They looked into a window and saw their reflection clear as day.

They had floppy brown ears, Hazels leg, and her blue antler. They had Silvers goatee, white antler, and his bushy eyebrows. Their eyes resembled to Osiris’ eyes and his lion paw and eagle claw. Their body was long and brown like Ocean and had one of his blue wings. They had Trebles long tooth and her long red tail. One of their legs resembled to Eris’ leg. They ran their fluffy paw across their face in disbelief.

“Is this me?” They asked. Both Princesses looked at them.

“Unfortunately, yes. The combination of the Elements and our magic, combined you all to make one being.” Celestia said. Luna levitated the Elements of Harmony towards them.

“Can you try to use the Elements again and reverse the spell?” Luna asked. They shrugged their shoulder.

“I’ll try.” They said. They levitated the Elements with ease. The Element of Magic glowed and the rest followed. They started to flicker and collasped on the floor.

“I can’t do it.” They said. Princesses Celestia and Luna gave each other looks of concern.

“Without being able to control the Elements, it’ll be utter discord.” Celestia said to Luna. Their ears perked up at that.

“Discord.... I like that word.”


It had been a week since they had merged together and everything just got harder. They had chosen the name Discord. It really fit them. His magic was chaotic and uncontrollable. Discord looked in the mirror, looking at every surface of himself with a frown on his face.

“Oh why did this have to happen to us.” Ocean complained. Discords face soon turned into a scowl.

“If this didnt happen, then we would be dead.” Hazel responded. Discord smiled.

“Well it’s good that we can be together!” Eris said. To anyone passing by, it just sounded like he was talking to himself. There was a knock on the door making him turn around.

“Come in.” Discord said. The door opened, revealing Princess Celestia.

“Hello Discord, how are you doing?” Celestia asked.

“Absolutely dreadful.” He responded. Celestia smiled a little, knowing that was Treble speaking.

“Have you been approving your magic?” She asked.

“I’ve been practicing, but I don’t think I’m getting better. I made a few books come to life.” Discord said. A swarm of books flew past Celestia, and down the hallway. They heard Princess Luna let out a loud shriek from the hallway and a thud. She walked into the room with a book entangled in her hair.

“I think this belongs to you.” Luna said with a scowl. Celestia giggled and Discord blushed.

“I recommend you go to bed soon, you have more training to do tomorrow.” Luna said. Luna handed Discord a magazine. “And this came in the mail earlier.” She said before walking out the room. Celestia followed her and shut the door behind her. Discord looked at the magazine. It was this weeks issue of Handsome Stallions. He eagerly flipped through the pages. A landed on a page where Ocean laid there, posing dramatically. He frowned.

“Why must I have been cursed with this hideous body.” Discord said as he flopped down on his bed. “We can’t even use magic correctly.” He said.

“I can help you with that.” A raspy voice said from outside his open window. Discord sat up from his bed and looked outside the window, only to see the darkness of the night sky.

“Who’s there?” He asked defensively.

“Come out here and find out for yourself.” The voice said. Discord gave an uneasy look. He didn’t really have anything to lose. He floated out of the window and into the forest. He landed onto the grassy floor. The bushes rustled and a hooded figure came out.

“I can help you with everything you need.” He said as he took off his hood. Discord gasped and took a few steps back.

“Tirek!” Discord exclaimed in fear. Tirek put his finger on Discords lip, shushing him.

“We wouldn’t want anyone to know that I’m here, now would we.” Tirek said. Discord let out a growl.

“We could kill you right now and no one would notice if your gone.” Discord said. Tirek chuckled.

“I’ve been watching you all week and you can barely teleport, I doubt that you can kill me.” Tirek said. Discords wars flattened.

“What do you want.” He said.

“I’m here to help you. You have a lot of potential Discord. I’ve seen you bring things to life out of nothing.” Tirek said. Discord gave and uneasy look.

“What do you want out of this? You’re still evil.” Discord said. Tirek gave a look of shock.

“Why would you assume that I’m still evil? I changed my ways and now I want to help you become powerful.” Tirek said. Discord thought for a moment.

”He sounds pretty convincing and we do need to get better at our magic.” Ocean said.

No, this is a trap, we can just fall for it like that.” Hazel responded.

”Tirek hasn’t done anything in years, he could have changed over time.” Eris said.

”Tirek only takes magic from creatures, so as long as we make sure he doesn’t get too far, then we’ll be fine.” Silver reasoned.

“So, do you want to make a deal?” Tirek said while putting out his hand. Discord shook his hand with his claw.

“Deal, but we can’t fully trust you, so you need to come with me.” Discord said. Tirek followed Discord to a large rock. He lifted up the rock and pushed Tirek inside. He hopped in after him and put the rock back over the hole. Discord turned on a lantern, lighting the room. Tirek looked around.

“Very intresting place you have here.” Tirek stated. Discord smiled at the compliment.

“Now lets get started.”


Princess Celestia and Luna stared in awe when they watched Discord bend and twist the room.

“You have progress greatly over the past month!” Celestia exclaimed excitedly. Discord smiled. Tirek had really helped him out over the past month.

“We have a new spell that we’ve been learning.” Discord said happily. His hands started to glow and the room started to shake. Dark shadows swarmed around the room. The room started to shake and a few windows started to crack. Ominous mumbling echoed around the room. Princess Celestia and Luna looked around in fear.

The floor started to crack and shadows started to circle them. Celestia and Luna’s eyes widened. Discords eyes started to glow black.

”DISCORD STOP.” Celestia shouted. Discord stopped arubtly. Shadows lingered around the room, making everything feel denser and gloomier.

“Where did you learn that spell?” Celestia asked in an aggressive tone. Discord cowered back.

“WHERE DID YOU LEARN THAT SPELL?!” Celestia exclaimed. Discord let out a whimper. Luna patted her sisters back, trying to calm her down. Celestia let out a sigh and rubbed the bridge of her nose.

“I’ll fix this, just....go somewhere.” Celestia said. Discords ears flattened and he walked out the room. The door closed behind him with a slam. He heard the princesses talking to each other.

”Where would he learn a spell that dangerous? Celestia said through the door.

”I fear that he is becoming to powerful.” Luna responded.

”We’ll have to stabilize his magic before he becomes too powerful for us to control.” Celestia said. Discords eyes widened. Hazel once got her magic stabilized which nearly cut off her complete use of magic. It almost killed her, draining her completely from any type of energy. The only time she could use magic is when she was using her Element. That’s why she resorted to fighting, it made her feel powerful.

“I can’t let that happen.” Discord whispered to himself. He flew down the hallway and out the front doors, causing him to get a few stares from the guards. He made a sharp turn and flew under the rock, that was opened slightly. Tirek looked up from the book he was reading.

“Ah Discord, you’re back early.” Tirek said. He frowned when he saw his distressed look.“What’s with that look?” He asked. Discord started to pace and forth.

“The princesses are going to stabilize our magic!” Discord exclaimed in fear. Tirek smirked slightly

”Just according to my plan.” Tirek thought to himself. He stood up and walked towards Discord.

“It seems like they don’t appreciate your true power.” Tirek said. Discord looked at Tirek with tears in his eyes.

“Our power?” Discord asked. Tirek touched his shoulders.

“You’re more powerful than both Princesses combined, I’ve seen what you can do.” Tirek states. Discord thought about it. He loved the feeling of being worshipped and being in control. He also loved using magic and making everyone happy.

“We- I am more powerful than them.” Discord was with a smile. That was the first time he referred to himself as one being.

“How about you show them your true power.” Tirek said. A large grin appeared on Discords face.

“I’ll show you everyone my true power.” Discord said, his eyes flashing for a moment.


Princess Celestia and Luna blasted the last bit of shadow from the corner of the room and sealed up the floor.

“Now that that’s under control, we need to ask Discord where he learned that spell.” Celestia said. A flying pig past the window, making them both look in surprise.

“What in Equestria was that?” Luna asked. A pink earth pony flew past the window with a propeller hat on her head.

“It looks like it’s coming from town.” Celestia said. They flew out of the castle and into town. They stared in shock at what they saw. Houses floated off of the ground, ponies ran around in fear, being chased by giant salt shakers. Things lit on fire randomly and the ground shook as a herd of bunnies ran past with

“What’s going on?” Celestia asked. They heard a laugh from behind them. They turned around to see Discord sitting on a levitating throne.

“Discord? Why are you doing this?” Celestia asked. Discord let out a laugh.

“Why wouldn’t I? This is so fun! Can’t you see how much everyone is enjoying this?” Discord asked. Celestia and Luna looked around.

“This is abosulte chaos.” Luna shouted. Discord smiled.

“Precisely my dear Luna.” Discord said while snapping his fingers. It started to rain chocolate milk.

“Discord this needs to stop!” Celestia exclaimed. Discord cackled and wrapped his magic around Celestia and Luna. He levitated them towards himself.

“Aw how cute, trying to stop me. Can’t you see that everyone is happier like this?” Discord said, gesturing to the ponies that were running around in fear. Celestia shot a beam from her horn and his Discord in the chest. He let out a chuckle and placed her and Luna down. They gave a look of shock. The magic didn’t even faze him.

“Luna, go get the Elements.” Celestia said. Luna nodded her head and flew off towards the castle. Discord laughed loudly.

“Do you really think that you can stop me?! You don’t even have control of the Elements!” Discord said with a laugh. Celestia gave him a look of fear.

“Please Discord, stop this now and we won’t hurt you.” Celestia said.

“You can’t hurt me, I’m more powerful than you’d ever be.” Discord said. Tears started to drip down Celestia’s and her horn started to glow.

“So be it.” She said. Celestia flew up into the air and let a blast a magic shoot from her horn. Discord dodged it with ease and snapped his fingers. Celestia looked down to see that she was in a clown costume.

“You should see how ridiculous you look!” Discord exclaimed with a laugh. Celestia scowled and took the costume off. Luna flew next to Celestia, holding the Elements.

“Oh, this is so much fun. How about a game of 'Pin the Tail on the Pony'?” Discord said, pulling out Celestias tail from behind his back. She turned around and let out a gasp when she saw that her tail was gone.

“Playtime is over Discord.” Celestia said. Discord yet out a yawn and pulled out a bag of black seeds. He started to munch loudly on them.

“Oh I doubt that.” Discord said. He put the back in front of both Princesses faces, causing some to spill out on the ground. “Want some?” He asked. Both Princesses gave him a stern look. “No? Suit yourself.” He said while eating more seeds.

“With the Elements of Harmony, we shall defeat you.” Luna said. Discord snickered before going into full blown laughter. He put his lion paw on his chest and eagle claw into the air, laughing loudly.

Celestia and Luna used their magic to make the Elements glow. Discord continued to laugh, standing up to laugh louder. The Elements glowed and a beam of light shot out from them. Discord didn’t seem to realize that his body was rapidly turning into stone. With a bright light, everything went back to normal.

Discord was completely turned into stone, his mouth wide open, making it look like he was singing. Tears slid down Celestia’s face.
Luna rubbed Celestia’s back in comfort.

“I know you cared about them greatly, but he was corrupted by his power.” Luna said. Celestia wiped her tears.

“Let’s bring him back to the castle.” Celestia said.


Celestia kneeled in front of Discords statue, placing a bouquet of flowers.

“You could have had so much potential, but instead you used your powers for evil.” Celestia said to the statue, tears dripping down her cheeks.

“Sister, it’s time to go.” Luna said. Celestia stood up and walked out the room. She closed the door behind her, leaving Discord in all alone.

If Celestia had stayed a little longer, she would have noticed a single tear drip down his cheek.
