The Elements of Chaos Book III Chaos and Love

Discord knew Moonlight was awake. Even though it was the middle of the night he could hear her. He opened one eye and watched her climb out of their bed and opened a window. She opened her small wings. Wait is going to fly? Her wings are too small! She is going to hurt herself! He watched as her wings flapped quickly. Slowly her body began to rise above the ground. Then she flew out the window. Discord quickly flew the blankets off and looked outside. Moonlight was flying very quickly and he wanted to know where she was going. He quietly jumped out of the window and followed her. Soon they came to the small spot in the Everfree Forest surrounded by trees. He watched as she tried to get on the ground but she did not land right and gently tripped and fell. Moonlight got up and walked to the small pond in the center. Discord flew down behind her. "What are you doing here?" Moonlight did not look at him. "I don't feel right." Discord walked over to her and looked at her reflection in the water. Strangely the reflection of her older self was shown on the surface of the water. "You love me right?" Moonlight asked. Discord curled himself next to her. "Of course I do, why would you ask such a silly question with a very obvious answer?" Moonlight glared at her reflection. "Because sometimes I feel like maybe I don't belong like this. Maybe you don't really love me, maybe I was never meant to be here. I'm a full grown chaotic mare stuck inside a filly's body. Why did this happen?" Discord looked at her face, she looked upset and a little scared. "If you and I were never meant to be together then why do you love me?" Moonlight looked up at him. "Because I love who you are." Discord nodded. "Exactly! Like you said, there is no other stallion that has what you and I both have. This happened to you because you cared for something that nopony else did. What happened when you first got your cutie mark?" Moonlight tried to think. "I was young when it happened. All the other Unicorns had magic that brought color and joy to the world, mine brought discord, chaos, and misery. Other ponies did not like me because of it. One day I was trying to use my magic to prove I could do the things they could, but all it did was turn everything upside down. Once I looked at it, I thought it was a very different way but it was a fun, crazy way. It looked much nicer then what harmony and life brought. I wanted to know if there were others that had this kind of magic. So when the night came and the stars were out I used my magic to write the word CHAOS in the stars. And then my cutie mark appeared." Discord turned her to face him. "And you did find someone that had magic like yours, didn't you? Your destiny IS with me. But you are starting to doubt it. That's why your cutie mark is gone now." Moonlight sighed. "But what about Dark Chaos, she turned me into this, and what about Nightmare Moon and Solar Flare, they still are after us. How are we going to defeat them all?" Discord sighed. "Don't worry about them right now, yes you are a filly now, but does that matter? Would you still feel the same way about me if I looked like a young Draconequus again?" Moonlight nodded. "Of course I would still feel the same way,  you would still be you, just smaller." Discord nodded. "That's why I still care about you. You were meant to represent the Element of Chaos, you were meant to fall in love with me, we were meant to be together, and you were destined to be the Queen of Chaos." Moonlight looked into the water. She slowly saw Discord's reflection grow smaller until he was about Moonlight's size. He looked sweet and tiny as his smaller reflection was holding on to Moonlight. Just as the fully grown Discord was doing. "The Queen of Chaos is who I'm meant to be." Moonlight said quietly. Then she looked up at Discord. "You are a little too good at this." Discord smiled and began stroking Moonlight's mane. "That's because I know my wife a little too well." Moonlight smiled. "I think it's time we went back home don't you think?" Discord asked her. Moonlight sighed. "Okay." Discord picked her up and flew back inside their bedroom. He dropped her on their bed. Moonlight was about to get under the blankets when she saw a white light flash. She looked down at her flank and saw her cutie mark was back again. Moonlight beamed with pride and hugged Discord. "Thank you." Discord wrapped his claw around her and gently kissed her. "Your welcome, goodnight." Discord pulled her into the bed and pulled the blankets over her and then slid into the other side. Moonlight kept her eyes open long enough to see Discord smile at her. Then she shut her eyes and fell asleep.
