The Big Three
Into the forest we go (redone)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight jumps out of hole in the tree and starts running through the town towards the forest. She hated using her powers on her friends, but come drastic times comes drastic measures. Twilight can still see the human running down the road and all the ponies gawking at him. At least there weren't many ponies out because the stores were closing anyway. As late as it was, she couldn't believe ponies are still out on the street. But she figures that's Ponyville. The country town that never sleeps.
Twilight shoves ponies out of her way using magic and hooves. She could hear flapping of wings and turn her head to see Rainbowdash with a Applejack on her back flying towards her. Rainbowdash does a spiral trying to get the pony off her. An elbow comes down on Rainbowdash's head sending her down into the dirt road and Applejack rolling across the road. Applejack shakes herself and looks towards Twilight.
"Applejack... Don't do this..."
Applejack snorts and holds her spot.
Twilight sighs as her horn glows. She fires a bolt of magic from it, but Applejack easily dodges it and rushes forward. She pulls back and throws a punch into Twilight face knocking her side ways. Twilight teleports to her feet her right eye closed tight. She is starting to see starts just from that one punch. Applejack runs forward charging with all her might. Twilight forces herself to teleport again behind her. Twilight falls on a knee feeling the repercussion of her actions. Everyone has forgotten the human and are now watching the fight of the ages go down before them. The element of harmony fighting amongst themselves.
Applejack snorts again staring down Twilight, "I love the princess! I truly do! But this just aint right! Look at us! We're fightin amongst ourselves! Twilight... if something happens because of them than... than I'll admit I was wrong.... but Twilight please. Fluttershy and Rainbowdash are seriously hurt and now you! At this rate the whole entire town could be turned upside down because of us!"
Twilight mumbles something under her breathes. And tries to stand up but finds the thudding pain in her head harder to ignore than what she thought. Getting hit by Applejack truly was like getting hit by tree. Maybe even harder.
"So, Twilight, lets get you back to the library where you can rest okay?"
Twilight reluctantly nods her head and accepts the support of Applejack's body. Twilight looks at the forest where the human is running as well as a teal unicorn that goes by the name of Lyra.
Lyra follows quickly and tries to remain hidden dodging behind the trees and trying her best to keep in pace with the human.
"Guys! Where are you!" The creature calls out.
Are there others?
To answer her question, Discord comes out with two others. One of a brown color and another of a cream like color.
So, like ponies they come in different colors too.
Lyra gets as close as she thinks is safe and begins to listen to the conversation.
"Oh my god! I was so worried about you!" The black one yell throwing his appendages around the one that ran from Ponyville.
"I'm so glad to see you guys! I got kidnapped! I got taken to the town and they starting questioning me! But I managed to get out because of them too! They started arguing and they attacked each other! My god that town is dangerous! There are like over a million of those ponies there!"
"Look. Calm down. Okay?" The creamy one says, "Now. Did you see Celestia?"
"No. They we're talking about sending her a letter of me being here though..."
"Shit! Okay look we need to get moving from here, but first tell us what you wanted us to hear um Discord right?" The brown one says leaning against a tree.
Discord nods his head.
"Yes. Well to inform your friend who seemed more stunned than what you guys were. I'm Discord. The race of Draconequus. A race that has come down to me. Now to put more information on that, I am also the ruler of disharmony and the grateful lord of chaos. That is what makes me special. I like to cause mischief between good friends and topple kingdoms on their sides by tickling them. You see, my race, like yours, used to be prisoners to the other races at a point. But before and after that, all of my race used to be the wise people of the lands helping out the others with their needs. We provided food and technology, which was later lost I might add, and were seen as good people... than... I was born. There was something the doctors couldn't point out about me, but they knew I was different.
You see ever since I was young, I've always had the habit to cause." Discord smiles as he says, "Problems. Not just I tripped him up, but more along the lines of my leg is flying above my head problems. I was born with a rare power inside of me. Which probably might explain why the other races got iffy about us. When word got out that a creature could bend the world around them at snap of a finger, they begin to feel threatened. The other draconequuses started testing me and helping me hone in on my power. Than came the words of a traveling human.
He said that I was granted a power by the gods to act out a will that will show me my true path. And a path I found while watching my land burn to those that feared us as well as betrayed us. I stood there remembering all the things I had done. The pain, the destruction, everything I touched seemed to turn into something I couldn't explain, but the more I did it... The greater I felt. But I learned the word for it soon after. The path of Chaos. That is what these powers were given to me for.
But I felt I had to do more than make chaos. I had to avenge my people. I've lived over thousands of years and I've done a lot of things. I tried to get revenge but... Celestia and Luna, the two almighty Alicorns, born of the pure bloods came and they aged and trained to where they defeated me and locked me away into a stone imprisonment... but not before I touched a few and Luna herself with the madness that comes with encountering me."
"Madness?" The white one asks backing up, "Like crazy?"
"No... not crazy. More of like a voice that gives you.... suggestions. That would be the simplest way to put it. I can corrupt and change the things around me at will, but I learned my powers aren't truly at my control. They control me more than I control them. They will allow me to do things beyond belief as long as they are used for mischief. If not than it simply won't work s well as I want them to. But that isn't important. What is, is that you guys need me as much as I need you.
I've made a pack to not cause mischief or to hurt anyone or else back to stone I go. But if others were to make chaos for me and cause a bit of mischief for me, I can get it to where I can do it for myself again! Also... I can possibly get revenge on those two Sisters for my false imprisonment."
The three humans stand around contemplating over what they were just told. Lyra stands there watching them with a giant lump in her throat. She doesn't know what these three humans are capable of. But if her books are right, than this is very bad. She hops they won't do it. If they tried to answer yes than she just had to try to stop that answer and try to get away from Discord.
"Well Discord... we do have something we all have in common. Allies of dying races. I would love to see where this partnership goes." The black one says getting off the ground where he had sat during half the story.
"Yea. We sure do seem to need each other actually." The cream skinned one says stopping his pacing, "This ability of yours really would come in handy for helping the rest of our kind escape."
"Yea! Plus to have something of a god as a trump card would be great!" The white one says pumping both his upper appendages at his side.
"So. Do we have something of an agreement?" Discord asks a mischievous smile appears on his face.
"We'll see. For now, I'd like to think of this as an Idea in progress." The cream one says stretching out his body and giving a yawn, "I'd like to sleep on it if you don't mind."
Discord nods his head and forms a stack of papers that most likely had all the words that he had spoken on them.
"Your bed awaits sire."
That brings a smile on the three other humans faces that give off chuckles before heading off deeper into the forest. Lyra's body doesn't move. She just can't believe this. She had to fight against herself to continue following. She didn't know what to do. Discord with humans that were capable of extraordinaire events was bad news. She just had to go back to Ponyville and tell Twilight to send a letter. Discord wouldn't be able to do anything and maybe he'll get locked away again.
"Yea... that will work..." Lyra says turning around and running back in town scared of the events that might take hold.
Celestia groans as she walks out of the chamber. She had spent almost all night trying to get information and testing more on the spell. The spell had its limit on how much of the control of their willpower she could extort. She almost had given up, but she knew that in the long run everything would finally come down to it. Luckily, she had a pretty good idea of where to go but she didn't want to now. Now was time for rest.
