The girls could only stare at the spirit that once their enemy now turned friend (Well for Fluttershy at least). They could not believe that he was created by, BY, something or rather someone. Twilight herself voiced her disbelief.

“There is no way that's possible! I-I mean, no one, NO ONE, has that kind of magical power! Not even Celestia or Luna! This Overlord is...is human! How can he have so much power?! It's gotta be a fake, a-a terror tactic!” Twilight said vehemently.
This got Luna mad.

“Bite thine tongue, Twilight Sparkle! The Overlord's magical reserves are massive due to him living as long as I or Celestia...perhaps even longer.” Luna said with bitterness and...dare Twilight say it, regret?

The new princess cleared her head of such thoughts before she rounded on the spirit of chaos. She had several questions, but Rainbow Dash beat her to the punch.

“Discord, can't you, I don't know, snap your talons and make this Overlord guy vanish?” Rainbow asked hotly.
Discord looked at the flier with a frustration on his face.

“SPIRIT of chaos and Disharmony here, Rainbow Dash,” Discord said chidingly like a parent would to a misbehaving child. “The Overlord's people, while not magical in nature, were the proverbial GODS of Chaos. There is a massive gap between the terms Spirit and God.”

Here Discord made a face of disgust.

“Never thought I would be the one voicing REASON of all things!”

Luna and Celestia chucked lightly, but it was subdued at best. Twilight took the reins again, her arms going underneath her bust.

“So...how were you created Discord?” The Scholar asked making Discord sigh.

“It began about five thousand years back...” Discord began.

“Back then I was just an idea, a theory, an experiment.”

The Overlord sat in front of an old workbench, several papers spread out, each one containing various drawings of limbs, formulas and various other images. At his right was his faithful friend, Gnarl who was looking at him most curiously.

“Master, might I inquire what these plans, formulas and whatnot are for?” Gnarl asked making the Overlord snort.

“What these are Gnarl are blueprints...blueprints to make a being that can harness the more chaotic nature of this magic...much like I have.” The Overlord said making Gnarl look at him.

“Are you sure that's wise Master? It could turn on you...much like that monster turned on its creator,” Gnarl warned before he began to rant. “What was that name again? Franlksetien, Brakenstin, Prankeisntein?”

“It was Frankenstein, Gnarl. And I will only teach it a tiny amount of Chaos magic. I will not teach it ALL of it like I have.” The Overlord answered. “When the seventh month dies, Discord will be given physical form.”

End of the Seventh Month

The Overlord watched over the bubbling cauldron, the minions and Gnarl watching as he added in the various ingredients that had been gathered over the months. They watched in rapt attention as their master put the ingredients in, one by one while chanting in a dead tongue.

The chanting rose higher and higher as the concoction in the cauldron bubbled fiercely. The Dark lord continued his loud chanting as he took a small black stone, turned it over thirteen times before dropping it in. The concoction stopped bubbling making the minions look at it confused. One even went up to touch it, but he quickly leaped back as the cauldron began to rumble.

The liquid that was within was frothing fiercely before a tower of light and explosion erupted from it, sending the container upwards. Everyone sought cover save the Overlord who simply conjured a shield to protect him from the most severe of the damages.

And it was severe; the explosion caused a part of the ceiling to collapse. Luckily, none of the debris crushed any of the minions that hadn't found cover. The cauldron fell back to the ground with a crash, with the crash a spinning disk flipped out of it, and landed in front of The Overlord. The dark tyrant looked down as the being uncurled itself as the Minions peeked out of their hiding places.
The being was like an adolescent at least in size but he looked around the room in child like wonder. The Overlord chuckled as he saw the being of misshapen animal parts.

“Behold Gnarl...Discord made flesh.” The Dark Master said with a grin underneath his helmet.

“So I was named Discord, taught a tiny bit of chaos magic, mostly how to conjure things out of mid-air and learned about the netherealm. That's when IT happened."

“What happened Discord?” Fluttershy asked timidly.

Discord sighed as a single tear escaped his eye.

“My loss of innocence.”

Discord stared at his...well, father after he had explained his new task.

“Discord, I know I'm sounding like a cruel bastard for saying this but it must be said. I'm kicking you out of the Tower.” The Overlord said.

The King of the Netherworld held up his hand, stalling any kind of argument that the Draco-equines had.

“Let me finish please. You need to know of the world outside of this one, one filled with many playmates who are excited to meet you. They're friendly, loyal, and kind to all races. I want you to get out there and explore!” The Overlord said while thinking that he would've been a shoo-in for the Emmy, Grammy, and Saxxy awards with the kind of acting he was doing.

Discord grinned happily at the thought of other beings. Beings he could frolic about with, socialize with, and best of all, share his abilities with.

“Head to the west and follow scent of Magic. The lands will be saturated in it.” The Overlord answered the unspoken question, jarring Discord from his thoughts.

The Draco-equines saluted before he flew out of the tower. Once he was sure he was truly gone, Gnarl spoke.

“Excellent cunning master. I almost believed you myself.” Gnarl said with a cruel chuckle who was later joined by the Overlord.

“Yes...yes it was.”

The two beings laughed madly as Discord flew through the skies toward the lands of magic.

“...The rest, as they say, is history. I came to the lands, met the pony tribes, was rejected by them, became embittered, and became a tyrant to them for two thousand years. In the chaos of the war, The Overlord managed to take over most of the lands, parts of Equestria included. He had used me. It wasn't until Sunny butt and Mooner over there locked me in stone that the tribes were free...at least a small part of them anyways,” Discord said, Celestia and Luna scowling at the nicknames for them. “They then had to work on getting the tight grip of the Overlord to loosen enough to get win the slaves back. It pained Celestia greatly since she...”

Discord's ramblings were cut off by a zipper sliding across his mouth, once fully closed, the key that locked the zipper in place vanished leaving his mouth trapped. He let out a few muffled cries of shock before he turned on Celestia who was sporting red cheeks and a glare at Discord.

“Well, that enough history girls. I say we get back up to the castle and get you some guards to protect you all.” Celestia said in a hurry much to Luna's chargin and the girl's confusion.

“Guards, princess? Beggin' yer pardon, but ah don' think we need a guard detail. Git in the way they might.” Applejack said, making Celestia freeze a little at the backwards talk she had just done.

“I gotta agree, the pegasi here won't be able to keep up with the Dash.” Rainbow bragged.

“Not to mention scaring off potential clientele at my Boutique and Sugarcube Corner where Pinkie works.” Rarity pointed out.

“My animal friends won't take too kindly to outsiders that they don't know.” Fluttershy said timidly.

Luna nodded in understanding.

“Tis why we'll have the guards incognito, my friends. The reason is that the Overlord is powerful and with you six bearing the elements of Harmony, he could target you since you are his first and only defense against him.” Luna explained.

“Understood, Princess Luna.” Twilight said before she started the journey up to the castle.

The other five followed along with Discord who finally managed to snap his talons to get the zipper off. He looked at Celestia crossly.

“Celestia, they have to know.” Discord said, being serious.

The Solar monarch huffed at the spirit.

“No, they do not need to know about my past with...with the Overlord. Besides it was long ago, I learned my lesson.” Celestia stated matter of factly.

Luna broke into the conversation.

“Have thee, dear sister? Your dreams tell differently.” Luna stated before she became a mist and vanished.

Good thing too. She just missed having a vase thrown her way. Discord chuckled lightly before he was on the receiving end of the monarch’s glare.

“Say anything, ANYTHING, and I will inform the girls that you're aiding the Overlord. You'll be back to being a garden gnome faster the Pinkie Pie eating the MMM!” Celestia snarled.

The spirit nodded rapidly, getting the point. He snapped his talons and vanished in a flash. But he made a mental note to talk to Luna about the dreams...he was very interested to say the least.

Celestia sighed as she slumped her shoulders. Unseen in the dark, her shoulders moved up and down, gasps escaped her mouth, indicating that she was sobbing. Sobbing for the lost past, the present, or for the future, no one can truly say.

Soon, her sobs faded and she gained a stronger stance. She hurried out of the room, determined to beat him, the Overlord.

Author's Note

Hey there. sorry for not updating last week, series of bad storms whipped through my home, forcing me to stay off the computer for the week. Anyways, I'm not too proud of this chapter for some reason. Maybe its an attempt at being a filler or how rushed it looks. I don't know, maybe you guys can make heads or tails of this.
