The Creation of Equine Rule
Chapter 5: The Rapture
Previous ChapterNext ChapterOnce peace had been maintained, the only piece of disharmony that existed was Discord. Discord had witnessed this sudden change in harmony and this brought fury in his soul. “It’s just not fair,” argued Discord, “that all of these ponies are able to create harmony in one simple wish. I have seen their true ways and I have waited through all of these years and I feel it is the time for action, not words. After my final rest, I shall self proclaim my place on this earth, and leave my mark on existence.” In order for Discord to achieve enough power from the fears and disharmony of other ponies, he required time. Because the act of disharmony in ponies was so subtle, Discord gained strength slowly. A year had passed and the time had come. Discord was to show himself to the world once more and was to impeach that he only wants to obtain harmony with everypony. Upon his arrival to Evesica, Discord had witnessed a feat he had never witnessed before. Beauty. He had the sudden urge to lose all evil within him and rethink his plans of unreason. This sudden urge caused Discord to become immortalized by his own thoughts as he perceived the first sight of splendor. He had seen Princess Celestia for the first time. Encumbered by emotion, Discord had developed the sudden urge to love every being he had ever seen. But the shyness within his mind had impeded his attempts to talk to Princess Celestia. Instead he pursued a new operation; he wanted to make all of her subjects realize that he was to be lovable and acceptable by their society. His first attempt was to speak to one of the leaders of the tribes. With fear imperiously overbearing his mentality, Discord decided to speak to the most reasonable, (in his opinion) Princess Platinum. As he approached her, before a word had even been produced from his decrepit lips, the Princess had shrieked in agonizing fear. Discord had had the last of his sanity removed at that moment in time. Hiding away in his pit of seclusion, he wept in pity. “IT’S JUST UNFARE, ALL THESE PONIES SURPASS JUDGMENT ON WHAT THEY MISUNDERSTAND! THEY ARE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO MISENTERPRET TRUTH AND FEAR IT!” Discord screamed in a fiery aura of wrath. This was the final judgment; Discord had reached the final stage of apparition. He had lost all thought of harmony; he had reached the stage of Lord of Chaos. With all his anger subdued within him, Discord set out on a journey to reign terror on all of Earth. And so he did; Earth fell under a bedlam as the blanket of chaos unfurled over the atmosphere. All of the ponies, zebras, buffalo, dragons, griffons, and all wild forms of life suffered from Discord’s actions. In retaliation, the five Noble Alicorns attempted to apprehend Discord. They wielded the Elements of Harmony; but Princess Celestia had studied the absence of a sixth compelling component. The elements were accounted as useless. Discord laughed at the inconsequential attempts to demolish him. Upon the Olympian Mountain of Evisica lay the battle between Discord and the five Noble Alicorns. The battle lasted about 2 days and then the final defeat was set in motion. Discord had been proven worthy as he defeated four of the five. In a final attempt to escape, Loyalty the fifth Alicorn, (Who fled from her duties) had been slain by the evil Discord. Now knowing the destructive power of Discord, Cybele hid Celestia and Luna away from Discord to keep the idea of harmony of ponies a reality. In doing so, she had faced Discord in person. With both powers so equally matched, the battle was undetermined. Then a glance at the pony tribes had been taken by Discord’s wandering eye; they were in opposition. They fought eagerly over resources; this discordance empowered Discord. Discord’s strength was at an all time high, and with one final striking blow, the fate of Cybele had been selected. Staring at the deceased, defeated body of Cybele, the ponies all felt a climax of angst. They fell into a pit of responsibility that was inescapable by all means. That was until Celestia and Luna returned. The pony tribes had then attained the courage to become friendly to each other to commence the dismantling of a common foe. Princess Celestia had obtained the knowledge on the Elements of Harmony. (She created them after all) She also taught Luna the ways of their power. With these five elements, the veiled sixth element, and the balance of opposites in play, the ponies were powerful enough to vanquish Discord. And so they did. The firearm of a thousand harmonious souls shot a wave of energy powerful enough to destroy any evil. The target had been precise; Discord fell to his knees. “Oh Celestia! Why have thou shrouded thyself to such ways?! Following a set example of your own blind subjects?! Why are you so faithful towards them?! What good have they done?!” pleaded Discord. “It’s not what they have done, but the potential of what they can accomplish.” impeached Celestia. The encasement of stone had started to consume Discord. “Celestia… I.” Before he could finish his final statement, Discord had been encased in stone. In front of the Princesses lay a waste of life, too entrenched in self emotion. With that, they teleported him to a distant land away from civilization. Then they spawned; the five know Elements of Harmony before their eyes. The spirits of Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, and Loyalty, embedded in stone. The Princesses then took the elements and set off to a remote resting place. Without the reign of terror from Discord, the ponies can retain harmony.
