The Past is the Past, or is It?

Life is never simple is it. Life is always moving; always changing. It is never the same way twice. If you mess it up it will stick with you and you will never be able to escape it. You can try, but Fate is a fickle beast and will never compose itself for the mortals. Or the immortals if that's what you wondered. You could have all the money in the world, all the power, all the beauty, but these don't matter to Fate. Only Fate matters to Fate. Confusing isn't it?

This is why Discord favors Fate. What Discord creates is against nature, but Fate is no stranger to the chaos Discord creates. Discord uses Fate and makes it his own and in return Fate receives a good comedy act until life takes its course and chaos is returned to the stone Fate creates.

But then something happened that wasn't set by Fate. Fate was not happy, it is never happy, but today it was furious. Instead of receiving comedy from a free Discord it was jibbed and Discord freed from his Fate. That was not supposed to happen. Fate would not be cheated, but now some creature had made Discord a new Fate.

So Fate plotted and planned, tried to decided which mortal or immortal it would reek its havoc. And then Fate was jibbed again. It had written her plan already, but then the same immortal had taken its fun away and now it would pay.

It is time for Fate to write new stories and change a few old ones.

...

The night was warm with a slight summer breeze flowing through the grass. The stars shone high in the sky as little beacons of light while the spotlight moon glowed gold. A single midnight blue alicorn flew across the sky; surveying the land below. In thatched houses did ponies sleep and ignored her beautiful night.

They had ignored her night every night, but today she had hoped the ponies wouldn't. It was once year did the the stars fly towards the earth. They would hurtle at breakneck speed sending bits of white hot rocks and sparks shining over Equestria in fantastic fireworks. That everypony was missing.

Luna gritted her teeth and circled back to the ever glowing capital city. She approached slowly, not wanting to know if Celestia was awake or not. But landing on the balcony she knew the truth; her sister was ignoring everything she did again.

Sighing, Luna hung her head and made her way through the castle to her room. Stepping carefully past the sleeping barracks and her sister's room. But then she passed Eris's.

Eris's room had always been simple ever since the snow white dragonequs had arrived at the castle. A bed, a nightstand, and a small bookcase. Normally Luna would have kept moving to her room; not wanting to suffer under the rage of the mischievous prankster, but tonight she stopped because of the eerie white glow it was emitting.

Pressing her ear to the oak door Luna caught Eris say, "  -but I don't want to leave Luna."

And then Luna heard a soft murmur; like wind through cattails.

Then Eris said, or replied, "In the Mirrorworld, but-" The rest of what she was saying was caught off by Luna breaking the door down. But by then Eris was gone, like she was never there.

...

Discord was not not happy to say, but he was bored. He was floating high above Canterlot and watching as they released fireworks for the newest princess. Of course he hadn't been allowed to go to the ceremony, stupid Celestia. Ever since he appearance at a dinner party for the griffins she had forbidden him from going to anymore Royal parties or dances and whatnot. Not that he cared, he was a spirit of chaos, an immortal god of destruction and terror.

Yes he did not care about not being at those things those ponies did. Did not care at all. Being up here was much more fun.

Okay he might have cared a little, but only because of the boredom.

Okay he would kill a minotaur if it would get him into the palace.

Suddenly a flash of light flew past the lounging dragonequs. His eyes fluttered open and he spun around dizzily.

"What the-" he started to say when an screaming came the falling white thing as it crashed into the palace below.

"DISCORD!!!" shouted Celestia from beneath the wreckage of the west tower that had been knocked down by the white flash.

The dragonequs's yellow and red eyes went wide and ears went flat as he slowly floated downwards towards the angry white and rainbow alicorn.

"WHAT WAS THAT?" Celestia shouted Royal Canterlot voice in full swing.

On the ground the damage was a lot worse, noted the dragonequs. The west tower was completely destroyed and their was a gaping hole in the side of the grand hall. Luckily, it seemed everyone had been in the outdoor plaza for the celebration so the only danger had been falling debris so no one had been in danger. But now Discord was in danger of having a one way trip back to being stone.

"That was not me," he said, taking a step back as Celestia's mane started turning from a flowing rainbow to spiky and harsh fire.

"Then what was that," she growled her teeth gritted.

"Celestia?" said a voice from beneath the rubble.

Celestia turned just in time to see the pile shift and from under a beam crawled a white dragonequs with one green eye and one blue.

Celestia's jaw had dropped and she said, "Eris?" just before she collapsed in a dead faint.

Luna suddenly ran out of the grand hall and went right to her sister; not seeing Eris walking out of the rubble, her light green lizard claw dragging behind her.

"Lulu?" asked Eris placing her white paw on Luna's shoulder.

Luna's head looked up, but didn't turn and said quietly, "Only Eris called me Lulu."

Luna turned and saw the snowy dragonequs, her eyes wide. But unlike Celestia she didn't faint. Instead she shouted, "But you've been gone for 2,000 years!"

"Um, surprise," Eris said, all while trying to make herself small so that the eyes on her would not be so big.

Turning Eris's eyes locked on Discord and she suddenly shouted, "Brother? Why are you here?" Her words were filled with anger and disgust and she turned to Luna saying, "I thought you turned him to stone."

"We did but-"

"Then why in flying feather did you release him; you remember what he did to you, to Celestia, to me?" she said, not caring  that all eyes were on her and that Discord had a small tear rolling down his cheek.

"You'd know that if you'd been around for the last 2,000 years, where were you?" asked Luna staring Eris right in the eye.

That broke her and Eris fell to her knees saying, "I, I don't know." And with that the flood gates opened and Eris started sobbing into her mismatched hands.
