Have I ever told you about the one pony's book? No? Then I hope you brought something nice to sit on because its going to be a long tale.

"O Mama et Papa,
Praesidia captare afferatur paenitet te liber est Lorem ipsum studio.
Si me amplius amo Duis denique in votis est, et nova mama papa diligit me.

Tuus iam puer,
Purpura "

***A Translation***
"Dear Mama and Papa,
I'm sorry for bringing the guards to capture you, I just wanted to have a book to study.
But if you dont love me anymore thats fine, hopefully my new mama and papa will love me.

Your no longer child,
Crimson Glow"

An Informal Meeting

Unstable Truths

The Kickoff

And The Start of Something Wonderful

The Void, a wonderful place full of chaos and misery.

Me personally I love it, but I'm banned from going there unless I want to be stone again. Shame, I heard its doing well this time of year.

***A Miscounting Incident***

Don't believe what they tell you about me, I was stoned three times not two.

But unfortunately this story isnt about me. Its about a mare in Pre-Discordian times, The Chaos bringer, The Spawn of Discord.

A daughter of a broken home.

It all started back in 7200 B.C. on a little out look on the Lost City.

Huh funny, our time line have same initials as yours, but I digress.

Back on topic, two ponies sat at a stone table staring at a piece of paper between them or, more precisely, A Stallion and a filly sat at a stone table staring at a piece of paper between them.

The filly looked up from the paper and asked "Do you think this is good enough?"

Here is what the note said.

"O Mama et Papa,

Praesidia captare afferatur paenitet te liber est Lorem ipsum studio.

Si me amplius amo Duis denique in votis est, et nova mama papa diligit me.

Tuus iam puer,

Purpura "

"Dear Mama and Papa,

Your no longer child,

Crimson Glow"

The stallion frowned and looked at the filly "You do know that their final request was to send you to an orphanage in the Ravaged Plains." He asked "You did, didn't you?"

The filly looked like Tartarus sucked the soul right out of her "Bu- but they said I was going to go to a home here and live here." She looked about ready to cry

The stallion stood and looked down upon her "Complications came up when the paid their bail." He said "So it was either give you to a cheap orphanage, or, watch you starve to death."

The filly sniffled "O- oh I see." Right around then, a carriage pulled up. The stallion beckoned the filly to stand and turned around

"Come on now Miss Glow" He said "Your ride awaits."

***A Vocal Description Of Crimson Glow***

Standing at 2' 4", with a straight crimson coat with a White mane with purple streaks in it.

The Color scheme matches with her title of 'Spawn of Discord'. Apparently.

Crimson sat up and walked slowly walked towards the stallion. 'Why did I do that?' She thought 'Why do I seek knowledge in the wrong places?'

Its true, none of this would've happened if she hadn't gone through that doorway that lead to a forbidden section, but alas, that story will come at a later time and date.

Back to Crimson and her woes, she just boarded the carriage with the stallion and in that carriage was another pony, this time a mare, holding a scroll in her magic.

"Well well well Miss Glow, it seems you have dug yourself a deep hole here." The mare said. Her voice was snobbish, obviously a higher class citizen. Crimson didn't like her apparently, as she frowned and nearly gagged on her cheap perfume

The mare didn't notice this however, do to the fact that she was practically eating the scroll she shoved it up so close to her face.

"An account of robbery and attempted learning of chaos magic" The mare said. She clicked her tongue "No wonder they put you in the Ravaged Plains orphanage, why if you were older you would have your head chopped off."

Crimson flinched at the casualness of her saying that. She would later find out that this mare ordered most of those decapitations to happen, but thats not important now.

The mare hummed as she closed the scroll and put it right next to her. The mare smiled at Crimson, an ugly black cavity infected smile that made Crimson want to puke. 'Thats disgusting' Crimson thought 'Doesn't she brush her teeth?'

"We will be arriving at our destination within 4 days madam" A voice said from the front. Judging by its tone, it was a Stallion.

The Mare scowled and looked out the window as the carriage began moving.

Lets leave Crimson shall we and move north west, towards Griffon Barbarians camps and Solaris military bases.

Tension had been building up between the two, but no one was willing to open the doors to war.

I was aware this was happening do to the stone barrier put up by Celestia's and Luna's mother and father was failing

***An Obvious Fact***

If you hadn't noticed already, the manifestation of chaos has been telling the story.

Do not be alarmed, for I speak the truth. No twisted parts anywhere in this story.

The trip had been uneventful the entire way. They rested at 3 hour intervals, rested when it turned night, got up very early in the morning, had breakfast, and were on their way again.

But something happened roughly 4 Units from their destination, the rocky slope that dominated the 'road' had become loose during last nights storm. The carriage pullers stopped and unhooked themselves and went to push the carriage with no avail

"Come on you peasants, work harder!" The mare screamed at the carriage pullers, waving a paper fan on her face "We haven't got all day!"

Both Crimson and the stallion, whose name she found out was Broken Shard, frowned at the mare

"Maybe we should lessen the weight and get off of the carriage." Shard suggested. The mare looked like he was insane "And get off in this heat?!" She asked incredulously. "Are you mad?!"

The carriage stopped moving as the carriage pullers (More like pushers at this point) took another break.

She growled and pulled out a whip. "Of course I have to do everything myself." she mumbled and walked outside.

Shard's face paled and turned towards Crimson with a panicked expression "Crimson" he said "Follow the road and run as fast as you can!"

"But-" She tried to reply but was cut off "Now!" Shard yelled and pushed her out the doorway.

She turned her head towards where the mare went just in time to see her whip a carriage puller. A red mark appeared on his back as he screamed out in pain.

Crimson, Who just got all the motivation from that sight, ran up the hill away from the whip lashes and the screaming at the bottom.

Im so, so sorry...

...it was a spur of the moment thing and I let it get to my head, and now I'm disappointing you by not trying to continue.

I understand if you hate me, the second chapter was sitting at 86 words since the story was accepted.

Again, I'm so, so sorry.
