short stories by soulpony

Time is merely a concept created by mortals who wish to believe that their short meaningless life is actually worth the effort of living they seem to put into it for whatever reason they may have; be it family,friends, or even trying to better the world.

sadly all mortal beings must pass on with time and there is little we can do about this no matter how hard we may try. This is a concept i have come to understand all to well.

Once upon a time i knew their pain and suffering but that was so long ago. Back in a time when i was still mortal,back when i still cared for others.But now i am different i gained the power to do as i please but it came at far too severe a cost.

I am no longer the being i used to be all those long years ago. Once i was a valiant warrior who was beloved by all and was happy about his placement in the world but over my many years i have morphed into a monster that is feared by everypony and finds enjoyment in terrorizing the very innocents i used to do my best to try and protect.

No longer am i called by the name i was born with and no documents are left that hold the tales from before my fall into darkness. its been so long that even i have almost forgotten it.

Now it is merely a forgotten name among the many i have earned throughout the centuries. Monster,Freak,Lord of chaos,King of madness. These are all names i have been called in my time and they are all ones i deserve.

Now i am simply called Discord because it is what i represent and can only be now. A monster that embodies all forms of chaos be it madness, unbalance, even up to destroying the very physics that hold this world together.

I never wanted this to happen but i had no choice. I fell into the darkness to save everypony else. When everypony else finally achieved peace in the world its very fabric started to come undone. Our world was about to fall into pieces because there must always be a balance in the universe. with life comes death and with harmony and order come disharmony and chaos.

Without the chaos that is caused by war our world became too unbalanced and something had to be done about it. Because of this I was given a new lot in life. To be the one who reinstates the balance but the others did not see it this way.

Instead they saw me as the one who would try to destroy everything they had worked for. When i tried to reason with them and show them the truth they attacked me and sealed me away in a prison of stone.

They wiped the very record of my life before this away and left me to sit in my jail just waiting for the seal to break so that i may try to fix this world before it crumbles into dust.

If they see me as a monster then a monster I shall be because as long as my immortal body lives on and gives them something to hate then the world will not fall yet.After all if they hate me then i can use that hate to cause just enough chaos to protect them from the demise i can see coming. I just pray that i wont forget my duty to Equestria in the coming eternity
