A blank empty space, a stark white void. An endless expanse into the white and Nox Onyx walks in the void with a look of confusion across his face. He moves dragging his feet through the emptiness, his long tail trailing behind him.

....................................................................................................

"................... Why did this happen?"asks Nox, speaking to no one in the empty expanse.

"................ Dad.......gone......why?" asks Noxs tears falling down his face.

"...............Why, Eris?..... Why did they try to kill her too?" asks Nox confused the void starting to fill in, a blurred background forming around the young drake.

".......Son........"

"...... They took my Dad....." Nox clinching his fists, his face turning to an enraged snarl.

"Son"

" They hurt my mom, they hurt my sisters, they hurt my family!" Nox's eyes starting to glow again, the void blurred image contorting and twisting.

"Son" says the voice a bit louder.

" They will Pay" Nox angrily snarls out his eyes showing a murderous glint that's not his own, Dark shapes forming behind him.

"Son" Shouts the voice, snapping Nox Onyx back to himself, several of the black shapes start to fade away.

"Da-Dad!" Nox shocked on hearing his dad's voice.

"Grab that one!"said Discord voice urgently.

"Grab wh-" sees an odd rabbit in his dream.

He runs after it, and manages to jump the rabbit, gripping it in his mouth, making sure not to break or kill the creature yet.

"Mpmmhmm gmhbmb mbmbmbmb bmbm msmsmwm hgmhm dmg" Nox tears roling down his face.

Discord's voice then says a bit mirthfully.

"You may wanna take that out of your mouth."

Nox Onyx takes the weird rabbit out of his mouth and holds it tight in his hands.

"IS that really you?" asks Nox the background shifting, the background is of many bricked buildings and in the distance a large mountain range. Nox was standing in the village square, alone with his father.

"Dad!" Nox says hugging the draconquess.

The draconquess gets on one knee and placing his hands on his son's shoulders.

"We don't have much time Nox, I dont have much magic, so we wil have to keep this short."

"B-But Why did they do this to you? How are you alive? Why did they try to kill Eris? What happen-" Discord places his lion finger over his son's mouth.

"I'll explain all of this, but let us start with this" Discord points to the odd rabbit in his son's claws.

The odd rabbit's fur was like white flowing smoke. Its eyes a pink red. The rabbit is currently still trying to free its ears from Nox's hand to escape.

"What is it?" asks Nox curiously.

"That, I don't know. I do know however that it was influencing you." Said Discord Nox's has a look of confusion on his face, Discord noticing .

"I could still see and hear what was happening"said Discord, answering the unasked.

"Don't worry there fine", whispers Discord to Nox.

"You should be more worried about this" said Discord readdressing the struggling rabbit.

"So this thing was influencing me?" said Nox skeptically that this rabbit could really do anything.

"You remember how you were acting when you saw me get turned to stone, and your sisters and mother injured?" asks the choas spirit.

Nox then remembers how he acted, and when looking back something did feel weird.

"........ That does explain why i was like that" said Nox remembering how he felt, at that moment , feeling something else there with him.

"That would be its doing, this bunny was trying to change you and for what i dont know." said Discord.

"Why did those things.. do what they did to you? What were they trying to do to Eris?" questioned Nox.

"First of all they didn't kill me, and they weren't trying to kill Eris" said Discord sounding a bit defensively.

"Then what did they do?" asks Nox, wondering why he was getting suddenly defensive of the creatures.

"Oh and second of all those things are like Screwball, they are called ponies but more specifically Alicorns," said Discord.

"Alicorns?" asks Nox.

"Gods" states Discord.

"Ah" said Nox understanding, processing this information.

"They imprisoned me, and were trying to imprison your sister." said Discord.

"Why?" asks Nox confused of why someone would want to do that to his Dad.

"I caused choas in their land" said Discord.

"So?" said Nox still confused.

"Ponies don't like chaos" said the Draconquess.

"Why?" asks Nox.

Sigh, goes the draconquess.

"They don't like chaos, I guess the only way to stop me was to imprison me, considering all there attempts always failed he adds quickly

"Why were you causing them chaos?" asks Nox hearing every word of that.

"I saw some of the ponies do, disturbing things...." said Discord vaguely.

What? asks Nox's curious.

"Killing drakes, that was not all, but what is important is that somehow some ponies had figured out how to kill Drakes, and i didn't think the clans and other peoples could stand another war. So since you were born I have been causing chaos in their land, to give you all time to rest and recuperate.

"Why?" asks Nox.

"Cause, if you all were to have meet the ponies immediately. I don't think it would have been peaceful." said Discord vaguely.

Nox deciding to drop it asks another important question.

"Did Mom know?" asks Nox

"No" answers the Draconquess.

"Why not? if you were doing this for us, Why didn't you tell her?" he said angrily.

"She has been through enough." said Discord, not raising his voice.

"She has lost so much" his voice suddenly getting quiet tears welling in his eyes as he remembers Jade's death and more.

"She has been through so much through her life, i didn't want her to have to deal with this, she has lost enough in her life."said Discord barely audible, tears flowing from his face and Nox feeling guilty for yelling but, before Nox could say anything Discord's body starts to fade.

"Dad!" shouts Nox snapping the Chaos Spirit back to focus, his body now see through.

"I don't have much time left"! exclaims the draconquess aware of the urgency.

"Try and make peace with the ponies! , forget what they did to me. You must press forward. Beware of creatures like that rabbit. Tell your mother and sister's I love them and tell everyone i will miss them and I love you son. You haven't realized your true power, you and your sister, are not the only ones like what you could do,The power you all have is related to-" He is cut off as he vanishes.

"Wait! what do you mean, what do you mean there are others, what powers, what were those gems!" shouts Nox

....................................

"What should I do with this"he shouts out referring to the rabbit still clutched in his hands.

.......................................

"Well might as well get rid of you, and since this is a dream." looking at the rabbit hungrily.

He breaks the rabbits neck, and heads to his family's building to cook it.

"This is for fucking with me" said Nox to the dead rabbit.

As he heads to the lodging he says out loud.

"I- we will dad. We will try and make peace." said Nox as he feels himself awaken.

He opens his eyes, his pony eyes, His sisters and mother in the building, being, patched, all alive. His mother's arm grown back already. Eris back to being her self: Screwball. His uncles guarding them. All eyes on him as he gets out of the bed.

"I need to tell you something" said Nox resolve in his eyes.
