The Elements of Chaos Book II Return of Chaos Daddy Discord

Princess Luna was slowly growing bitter and angry. Her sister was beginning to notice this. Every night she would ask her sister if she was feeling alright. Luna would just say she was fine and then she would shut Celestia out. Celestia was becoming more nervous, what was happening to her sister. Every night Luna would raise the moon and would make each night colder and darker. It would last longer and the moon would glow brighter each night. She watched as all the ponies began to fear her night even more. Luna began to cry and would scream at night. "Why don't they understand me?"

Moonlight had almost completely mastered the spell. Now she needed to try it on something made of stone. She tried to think of something that could help her. Then she thought "A cockitrice! It can turn things to stone." She used her magic to create a cockatrice. When it appeared it faced her. It began to slither towards her. Moonlight flinched but tried to calm it down. "It's okay. I won't hurt you." The cockatrice looked her in the eye. Then it went over to her and curled up againsted her. "Good cockatrice. Can you help me with something?" Moonlight asked. The cockatrice nodded. Moonlight fasted a spell and made a rabbit appear. She pointed towards the rabbit and the cockatrice flew towards the rabbit and gave it an icy glare causing the rabbit to be turned to stone. Moonlight clapped her hooves. "Good job!" The cockatrice flew over to her and curled up next to her again. Moonlight made pillows and blankets appear and said, "There you go. Now you have something soft to sleep on." The cockatrice moved over to pile of pillows and tried to get comfortable. Then it relaxed and laid down. Moonlight took her focus on the rabbit. She cast the spell from the scroll she found in the library. Slowly the stone began to break. It got half way finished before it hardened again. Moonlight tried again. It got a little further but soon after have the same result. She tried one more time and slowly the stone completely broke and the rabbit was free. She used her magic to get rid of it. "Well looks like I will need more practice." She looked at the cockatrice. "I guess that means you will be staying a little longer." The cockatrice lifted its head. "I think I should give you a name. How about.......Stone? I think it fits you because it's something you are good at doing." The cockatrice looked like it was thinking then it rushed around Moonlight and then wrapped his wings around her. Then Stone flew back to the pile of pillows. Moonlight felt a chilly breeze wash over her causing her to shiver. "Brrr! It looks like it's a chilly night." Moonlight went to shut her window, she looked up at the stars and said, "Night is a very beautiful time. Everything is calm. It's dark and filled with sparkling stars. Not bad Luna." She closed the window and walked over to her bed and snuggled underneath the blankets.

Moonlight could tell she was asleep because all of her friends were here and so was Discord. Star Dim gasped and said, "Moonlight, a cockatrice is behind you!" Moonlight turned around. And she saw Stone standing right behind her. She motioned for him to come over and flew up landing on her hoof. "No Star! It's fine. This is my cockatrice." Everypony looked confused. "What do you mean he's your cockatrice sugarcube?" Moonlight giggled and pointed to him. "I made him with my magic. He was supposed to help me with the spell but......he was so friendly I decided to keep him with me. His name is Stone by the way. And don't worry he won't hurt you or turn you to stone." Chocolate jumped over to Stone and said, "Hi Stone! I'm Chocolate Pie!" Stone just looked at her and blinked. Then he flew on to her back and rubbed againsted her mane. Chocolate giggled. "Hey he likes me!" Then Stone flew off of her and flew on to everypony and examined all of them. He appeared to like all of them. Then he came to Discord. Stone looked at Discord and flew all the around him. Discord held up his claw for Stone to land on. Once Stone was on Discord he began to rub his neck all over Discord. "It appears he likes me as well." Eventually Stone stopped and flew back over to Moonlight. Moonlight fluffed his feathers and then turned to Discord. "I found a spell in the library that can get you out. I just need a little practice to make it work completely." Discord just smirked and said, "Knowing you I think you will be able to do it perfectly." Moonlight replied, "We'll actually I have most of it covered. I think maybe one more day and you'll be free!" Discord sighed. "That would be nice. Just standing in one spot can be very boring. And though it's only been a few weeks, I feel very stiff. Stone body suits are definitely not my first fashion choice." Star Dim laughed. "I can tell darling. Besides after everything will be much better then the way it is now." Moonlight agreed. "It certainly will."
