The Elements of Chaos Book II Return of Chaos Daddy Discord

Moonlight Chaos looked up at Discord. "What do you need my magic for?" Moonlight trusted Discord but she was very concerned. She slowly looked up at the sky as Discord replied, "If I am going to see you again, I will need the power to do so." Slowly Moonlight stood up and aimed her horn at the ground, a glowing ball of light began to form and slowly it got bigger. Then it suddenly burst and streams of light flew everywhere. They slowly began to leave behind a small trail as they quickly swirled around Discord. Then the light slowly faded. Moonlight slowly looked up and asked, "Did it work?" Discord looked at her and replied, "Yes it worked, I feel much stronger. I don't know why you wouldn't think it would work, coming from someone of your talent." Moonlight blushed. "I can't believe what has happened tonight. I wish it could be like this every night." Discord looked at her as she looked at all of the statues in the garden and said, " As do I. Unfortunately that can't be the way things happen. Just promise me something." Moonlight looked at him, "What?" Discord looked down at her for a moment. He recognized that look, it was the look she gave him when she first met him. A look filled wonder and amazement. " Promise me you won't spend all this time alone. They are at least here with you." Moonlight nodded. She noticed Discord was getting closer, the two both came so close to each other they were almost touching. Suddenly Discord's eagle claw began to turn white and began to harden. He was turning back to stone. Moonlight's eyes shrank in horror. Watching him being to turned to stone the first time was not as bad. She had not been looking most of the time, but this time, watching the stone creep over his body slowly turning everything white, hard and lifeless was scary for her. Discord slowly flew back up to the pedestal he had been standing on moments ago just as his wings were turned to stone. "I am sorry I can't stay much longer, try not to worry about me too much." Moonlight watched as the stone rose up towards the rest of his body. After a few moments everything was quiet. "I'm sorry too." Moonlight said. Then a single tear fell from her eye. Then she slowly looked up. It looked like the moon was almost gone. They had spent almost the entire night together. Moonlight glanced up at the moon. She watched as its light flickered in the distance.

"I have never seen Moonlight so cheerful after Discord was turned to stone." Crazed Candy said. The girls all watched as Discord and Moonlight talked all night. Just then Chocolate Pie noticed something, "Um girls.... I think something is happening with Discord....." Cotton Feathers and Discorded Swirls gasped. "He's turning back to stone. We have to do something!" Discorded said, she was just about to fly towards them when Crazed Candy grabbed her by the tail. Then she shook her head. "There is nothing we can do darling." Star Dim said.  Just as they watched as Discord was turned completely to stone once again they saw Moonlight look up at the sky and smile. "Wait, is she actually..... Smiling?" Cotton Feathers said. Chcolate Pie smiled and walked over to her. The girls just shrugged and followed behind.

Moonlight was getting ready to lay down when she heard hoof steps. She turned around and saw her friends walk up to her. "What are you doing here? How did you get in? Were you.... Watching me?"  Chocolate walked over to her and said, "You bet we did! We followed you in!" Then she stopped and said in a sad tone, "Sorry about Discord though." Moonlight turned to all of them, " So you saw......EVERYTHING?" Crazed Candy replied, " We certainly did. And I will say, you certainly looked like you were enjoying yourself." Moonlight smiled a little and then laid down right in front of Discord. "Darling do you want to come with one of us?" Moonlight opened one eye and said, "No, I think I'm fine. And after what happened tonight I think I can manage this time." The girls all watched as Moonlight slowly fell asleep. Chocolate Pie bounced right over and fell asleep next to her. Soon Cotton Feathers and Crazed Candy joined them. Then Discorded Swirls looked at Star Dim and then walked over to join them. Star did not like sleeping on the ground, but the grass felt so soft and the breeze was just right. Star used her magic to bring a blanket and placed it on the ground. Slowly she curled into a tiny ball and shut her eyes.
