Discord was tired of pulling at the strings of life, tired of pretending to be a statue. What was the point of helping the ponies when they never bothered to listen to a thing he said, choosing instead to call him a monster and attack him.

Discord was starting to think that letting them drive themselves to extinction with their false idea of harmony was the better way to go.

Removing the grey color from his body with a snap of his tail, Discord stepped down from the pedestal that Celestia had placed him on.

Discord walked through the garden, not even a single laugh escaped from his mouth as Celestia's stupid useless guards and citizens of various backgrounds ran away screaming in the direction of the throne room to tell Celestia.

He didn't care, let them try to stop him. He was the omnipotent God of Chaos, nothing they could do had the potential to harm him.

"Stop right there Discord!" Celestia's voice reached his ears.

Discord stopped and turned towards her, not because she told him to, but because she amused him.

"What do you want Celestia?" I'm kind of busy walking forwards while going in reverse..." Discord asked in a bored voice, his dull eyes frightening Celestia much more then when they were lit up with mischief.

"How did you escape this time? I've made sure that my ponies wouldn't cause chaos near your statue." Celestia replied, glaring at Discord.

Sighing in exasperation, Discord's eagle claw shot out, picking a stone off the ground and grinding it into dust between his talons. The dust particles morphing into perfect replicas of the original stone as they descended from his claw.

"I was never trapped in stone to begin with my dear Celestia, it was all just an illusion I put up to make you foolish ponies think everything was fine and perfect."

"Furthermore," Discord continued before Celestia could think up a proper response. "I'm done playing around. For two thousand years I've tried to help you ponies out, but you obviously don't want my help..."

Discord whirled around and continued walking in the direction he had been going before Celestia interupted him.

Discord traveled through Canterlot, ignoring the shrieks and screams of the inhabitants, and proceeded to continue walking in a straight line. Nothing could touch Discord, his body twisting and twirling on it's own to dodge any and all attacks aimed in his direction.

Celestia and Luna followed him the entire way, trying to understand him, not that he cared, Discord ignored them just like everypony else.

It happened shortly after he had arrived in Ponyville. His Chaos, the very thing that had created him, betrayed him.

"Discord STOP!"

Discord's body did as it was told, his mind trying to figure out what was happening to him.

That voice, the voice of Twilight Sparkle, commanded his total attention, it made him want to do anything she said.

He did not like it.

Slowly turning around he faced Twilight, his tail flicking back and forth like a cat's does when it's aggravated.

"Yes?" Discord asked.

The ponies that had followed him from Canterlot looked on in shock. Discord hadn't responded to Princees Celestia or Princess Luna, so why did he listen to Princess Twilight?

"How did you escape?"

Discord could see the scholar in Twilight Sparkle, she was very excited to know how he had escaped.

"I was never trapped in the first place." Discord replied. "I can defy the laws of phyics, did you really think the Elements of Harmony could stop me?"

Turning around without another word Discord continued his journey. He hadn't walked more then a few steps before Twilight's voice rang in his ears again, stopping him in his tracks.

By now the onlookers had all left, content to let the princesses handle the situation.

"Hey! Come back here!"

Discord stopped and turned around once again, resisting the urge to cry out in despair. "What?" He spoke through clenched teeth, his mismatched eyes burning holes in his eyelids.

Twilight tilted her head to the side in confusion. Why was Discord acting like this?

"What's the matter?"

"..."

"It's obvious that something's wrong with you, why don't you explain it to me? Maybe I can help."

Discord reopened his eyes, breathing out heavily through flared nostrils. "I highly doubt it."

"You never know."

"How can you possibly help me when you can't even help yourself?"

Twilight glared up at him. "Now what do you mean by that?" She snapped.

"Do you know what Chaos is? Do you know what it does to the world?"

Twilight rolled her eyes. "It makes ponies unhappy."

Discord sneered at her. "Wrong. Chaos brings change, it allows you little ponies to continue finding better ways of living. If it wasn't for my wonderful Chaos you ponies would still be killing each other left and right. Chaos brings change Twilight Sparkle, do you know what Order brings?"

Twilight frowned at him, her face scrunched up in the most adorable face he had seen since Celestia was a foal, as she processed what he had said.

"I do, but you're just going to tell me that it's wrong."

"Order wants only one thing, for everything to be the same, and that will only happen once everypony is dead. By chasing Order you ponies are driving yourselves to extinction, have fun while you last, because I'm not helping you any longer.

"You preach Harmony, but you're the ones preventing it. Think on that for the next hundred years or so..."

HiE # 1

'Cold.'

That one word flew through my mind as I woke up from my daily afternoon nap. Which was odd considering the fact that my bed had two giant fuzzy warm blankets. Then again, this didn't feel anything like my bed...

Pushing myself to my knees I stood up quickly, intent on figuring out where I was, only to slam my head into something hard. I fell back down, craddling my sore head in my hands, and opened my eyes.

Black.

Some people say it's a shade, but in that moment I had no doubt it was a color, and it was the only thing I could see. I reached my hands out, feeling around me for anything that would indicate where exactly I was. I stopped moving when my hands came into contact with something cold, hard, round, and undoubtably metal.

I was in a cage.

Figuring out why I was in a cage didn't matter to me at the moment, only escaping did. Getting back onto my knees, careful not to bump my head again, I felt my way up each and every bar that surrounded me, searching for something.

'There!'

I grinned as I felt the locking mechanism on one of the bars behind me. It wasn't even a lock, just one of those latch things that are put on the doors of pet cages. It took little to no time to free myself.

Now that I was free, I decided it would be a good idea to find put why I couldn't see. Reaching up to my face I felt around my eyes for anything that could be blocking my sight. My breath hitched and my heart skipped a beat when the terrifying reality of my situation set in.

I was blind.

I fell back down to my knees, clenching my hands into fists, and let out a piercing scream of denial. It didn't take long before I heard footsteps, but by then I didn't care. I was too far lost within my own mind to focus on anything else but my lack of sight.

A blow to the back of my head rendered me unconscious.

~~~

I reentered the land of the living to feel something poking the aching back of my head. Needless to say, I freaked out and lunged away from my assailant, only for something soft and fuzzy to block my path.

I latched onto the object, using it to rise to my feet, and kept one hand on it as I used the other to search my pant pocket for my pocket knife, I relaxed and let out a sigh of relief as I touched it; I wasn't completely defenseless. Returning my hand to the object I was grasping, I began to feel along it. It was a wing, and its owner was currently moaning in delight.

"What is it doing Princess?"

I froze in place, whipping my head in the direction of the voice. "Where am I?" I asked.

"What did it say Fluttershy?"

My knees buckled. I leaned on the wing to keep from falling. I could understand them, but they couldn't understand me.

"W-well I'm not positive since I've never seen anything like it before, but it's mannerisms suggest that it likes Princess Luna."

"We like this creature. We have decided that we shall keep it as a pet." Spoke the owner of the wing I was holding in a feminine voice.

"What?!" I cried out in shock. I wasn't a pet! I was about to tell the owner of the wing off, but thought better of it, instead choosing to just let go of her wing and walked in a random direction.

Whack!

I groaned from my place on the floor. "Fuck you wall." I said as I lifted my hand gave it a one-fingered salute.

"Why did it just do that?"

"I'm... not sure." The voice that belonged to the one called Fluttershy answered. I could tell that as her name suggested, she was very shy by how quiet and nervous her voice sounded.

I pressed my hands against the hard wooden floor and pushed myself up into a sitting position. Feeling out my surroundings with my hands, I slowly turned around and finally opened my eyes. While the reaction I recieved wasn't exactly the response I was expecting, it was pretty damn close.

Two shrieks of surprise and two loud gasps were what graced my ears, alerting me to the fact that there were four of them, and that they were all female.

Now most guys wouldn't have a problem with being alone in a room with four women, but I'm not most guys. I was one of those guys who were shy and quickly became nervous whenever a girl was around. The fact that there were four of them was causing me to start sweating.

"Are you sure you're up to the task of keeping a pet dear sister?" A new voice spoke up.

A snort. "We have confidance that we will do just fine. We might however, require your assistance on occasion Tia, as this will be a new experience for us."

I zoned out after that, my mind racing with questions, theories, and scenarios. It was only when what was most likely a metallic object nudged my side, that I began paying attention to them again.

I instinctivly scooted away in the opposite direction of where the object had come from, right into the embrace of the owner of the wing from before.

"Gotcha!" The female... Creature exclaimed, their arms wrapping around my torso and pulling me to their chest. I let out a soft sigh and allowed myself to relax, the warmth her body gave off was a pleasant change from the cold wooden floor of wherever we were.
