The Royal House of Chaos
Chapter 4: The Royal Castle
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCelestia could not believe her eyes, there was alicorns! Celestia watched as Luna ran outside with Discord following her. Celestia went up to Nightmare, her hooves almost making the ground shake, when she asked “What is the meaning of this?” Nightmare looked at her with a face that said “What are you so mad about?” Celestia yelled “Nightmare there are alicorns here, why? Luna and I are the last of the alicorns!”
Nightmare giggled when she heard this and said “Celestia you have to realize that these alicorns trade their lives’ for immortality.” Celestia wanted to punch Nightmare in the face when she heard that, she then replied angrily “What? Alicorns are immortal! What you said makes no sense!” Nightmare looked at Celestia and laughed “Celestia alicorns aren’t immortal; they can be if they use a certain magic spell though.”
Celestia looked at Nightmare “What spell? I have no idea what you talking about.” Celestia desperately tried to calm herself to no avail. Nightmare took no time to think of a nicer way to answer as she replied with glee “Celestia, the spell requires the pony in question to kill another one of its own kind. That’s why there are almost no alicorns, they killed each other off.”
Celestia was trying to process what Nightmare said but she could not believe it. Nightmare could not stop smiling, she enjoyed Celestia being confused. Celestia finally processed what Nightmare said and came up with a solution. Celestia punched Nightmare in the face and she said “You lie! This is a trick!” Nightmare was fed up, she had been hit in the face like 4 times in the past couple of hours, Nightmare used her magic to throw Celestia outside, Celestia let out a yelp as she went straight through the door.
Recovering, Celestia tried to get up, but she was hit again by Nightmare as she yelled “You think you’re special! Just because you an alicorn, NO! You are not, you are a normal pony just like every pony else.”
Celestia’s horn glowed with magic but her horn was hoofed by Nightmare, Celestia fell face first into the dirt, she closed her eyes so the dirt would not hurt her eyes. Nightmare and Celestia both paused when they heard a yelp from Discord.
He had been thrown near them and he tried to speak but Luna pounced on him as she snarled and yelled “WHAT’S YOUR ANSWER HUH! You can’t just say something like that to me! I am a princess for goodness sake.” Luna was thrown off of Discord; he was fed up as he yelled angrily “NO! You are not a princess, you are a queen! My queen, the only queen of chaos and I expect you to act LIKE IT!”
Luna was surprised; she had never seen Discord explode like that. Discord continued his speech “I tried to be nice and I tried not to break the rules this time but no one listens to me! You will listen now, Luna I told you the facts and you attacked me, I did not want to tell you but you insisted. Now I want an apology Luna!”
Luna stared at him, she was confused with herself, on one hand she could apologize, become a mother and help her species repopulate or she could spit in Discord’s face, tell him he can go buck himself and his stupid deal, turn into stone and watch her country fall into chaos.
Celestia however was still dealing with Nightmare, Nightmare galloped at Celestia with her horn covered in a blue aura. Celestia saw five different types of offensive magic come from Nightmare but they were all stopped by Discord. He yelled again but this time at Celestia and Nightmare Moon “You two! Sit down and SHUT IT! I am tired of you two fighting, get over your selves all ready, I mean really!” He looked back at Luna still expecting his answer from her.
Luna started to speak “Discord….. I am sorry, I should not have been rude but that does not mean that I can’t freak out, I mean in less than a day I have been given away to be a queen in a arranged marriage, found out that 200 of my own kind are alive and that the only way to release is to have foals with you!”
Celestia’s expression went livid when she heard this. The only way that the last of her kind could be released was if her sister was to have FOALS! With Discord no less, the god of chaos. It was enough to launch herself at Discord; He just dodged her attack and grabbed her by the horn. Celestia could not move.
Discord had completely immobilized her. He started to speak in a calm but creepy tone “Celestia, never do that again or I will break your horn OFF!” he threw her to his right, not caring about where she landed. Celestia teleported herself in front of him as she replied to him with desperation and tears in her eyes “Discord don’t do this, she is my sister. You can get anyone else pregnant, hell I will convince Cadence if I have to!”
Luna looked at Celestia with pity. Luna had never seen Celestia like this, on the ground begging and crying. Luna walked up to Celestia as she spoke with a sure but shaky voice “Celestia I have to do this and even if you wanted to stop him you could not, that would break the treaty and turn you into stone.”
Discord went up to Nightmare as he started to speak with a tired and raspy voice “Nightmare I need you to find a suitable place for our castle.” Nightmare teleported away to go find the spot for their castle. After that Discord walked toward Luna and Celestia, he tried to talk but his voice failed him at first but after a couple of tries he got his voice back.
“Luna you can go back to your castle to pack up your things and to say your goodbyes, I don’t think any pony will want to visit you. Celestia I would like you to remind Rarity about her job as my wedding planner and once she has everything sorted out please tell me. I need to build my home and sort out the lunar guard moving there. Nightmare teleported back as she whispered to Discord “I think I found the spot but it’s close to Ponyville.”
Discord nodded as he replied with a careless attitude “I don’t care where it is, is it big enough?” Nightmare nodded yes. Discord teleported to the location, he looked around as he started to work his magic. The area glowed ominously as a building started to poke out of the ground, a gigantic castle was coming out of the ground as Discord started to sweat and flex his muscles struggling to finish.
Luna and Celestia looked at the restaurant as they teleported away wondering “Why did they get to live? Was it because of their selfishness, or simply because they asked Discord for immortality. Was that the reason? Shouldn’t the better more selfless alicorns survived?” Luna went to her room as she started to cry and sob, thinking about the day she realized that she had endured more emotional stress today than ever. Luna started to grab all of her belongings, remembering the memories connected to these objects.
The crown she received from her father symbolizing her as a princess, the bracelet she received from Celestia when she was transformed back into herself by the elements, saying that this was a new era. The time for another new era was coming and fast, so she needed to be prepared. Luna called the guards as she ordered them “Get me a fire pit!” The guards did as she commanded, after lighting to fire Luna threw all of her personal treasure in with tears in her eyes she commanded the guards to leave.
They followed her command, she tried to grab the items out but it was too late she already crossed the Rubicon. Luna tried but every time she reached it the fire she burnt herself after a while she put out the fire, she grabbed the things she threw in but they were destroyed. Her crown was bended and cracked and she couldn’t even find the bracelet, she sobbed and tears flew out of her like a river. Celestia quickly sent Rarity a letter reminding her about the wedding, regretting ever signing that treaty.
Discord had finally finished his castle, the center was a tower that was bended and twisted, spikes grew out of it and the tower was surrounded by houses and other city buildings. The wall of the city were slender and tall, at the entrance to the city was a big open arch with what looked like a checkpoint station for security. He waited until the next day.
Luna woke up, she yawned and she tried to stretch but one of her hooves bumped in a pony, she yelped as she looked to her side and she saw Discord. Discord smirked and he whispered in a calming tone “I need to tell the lunar guard about the new situation and you should change their name, I was thinking the “Chaotic Guard” but I don’t know, what do you think Luna?” Luna covered herself with her bed sheets, given she was naked most of the time but this was in her bed it was different.
Luna did not reply but instead she scolded Discord “Discord! What are you doing here?” She tried to punch him hard but she was tired, so it did not even catch Discord’s attention. Discord looked at her frustrated as he asked again “Please assemble the lunar guard and inform them of the situation?”
Luna started to get up, she activated her magic and spoke to all of the lunar guard “Brave lunar guard, I am marrying Discord god of chaos and disharmony. All of you will follow his orders as if they were my own; we are also changing the name of your branch to the “Chaotic Guard” now Discord would like to speak with all of you.”
Discord was brought into the announcement, he spoke with a very happy and proud tone “Now chaotic guard I would like you to go to Ponyville, from there you should be able to see my castle. Please go there and await further instruction.”
Luna grumbled angrily as she went back to sleep, Lucky for Discord the lun- chaotic guard followed orders very well. Discord could sense all of the guard amassing at his castle, hundreds of thousands gathered as he teleported himself over there as quickly as possible. The former lunar guard thought it was a trick and that they had gone over Discord castle for a celebration of ceremony but they were very disappointed to find out it was all real but they followed orders like good soldiers.
When Discord showed up he ordered all of the different races to separate themselves, soon all the earth ponies were together and the same with the other two races. Then Discord snapped as the chaotic guards were still in the same groups but all of the mares separated from the stallions. Then Discord started to speak very calmly “Now chaotic guard you will all be separated into branches, the earth ponies will be my chaotic army, the Pegasi my chaotic air force and the unicorns will be my chaotic center of intelligence.
Now half of the mares will not join anyone neither will one third of the stallions.” Even with this many ponies he could see their surprise and curiosity in what he said, so he decided not to keep them waiting as he separated half of the mares and one third of the mares “The ones that have been separated by me will be become part of the chaotic citizen corporation, they will focus on increasing our population.”
All of the ponies were confused some were out right disgusted most followed orders, seeing as following Luna had been good in the past but those who tried to run off were stopped by Discord and he teleported them back to their groups.
Today was the first day Discord’s kingdom started to run, he gave all of the ponies maps of the city and he directed them to start doing their jobs. The earth ponies began exercising and training, the pegasi doing patrols and training as well, the unicorns got to work as they started to collect information and the others, well they got “Busy!” Discord teleported himself to his throne. He laughed with glee as his city started to come to life. The city functioned like a machine,
Discords machine.
