Unlike Screwball, Darksouls dreams of Discord left him in terror, and this night was no different. It began with the wind.... quiet at first.

Darksoul could swear by Celesta that he heard a voice..... He sat down on a field of corpses trying to ignore the stench....he needed to hear what the wind was saying..... He closed his eyes and tried even harder....."DarrrrrkSssssoulllllll." the wind whispered..

"What..What do you want ?" he stammered. "My sssssson, my ssssson. Why do you reject me." it asked. The voice seemed so familiar.

His eyes still shut he now tried to block out the howling wind and hear only the voice. LAUGHTER! Loud and sudden, a jolt of fear made the hair of Darksouls  black mane stand on edge, his eyes opened wide and he coward down upon the corpse bed below his feet. Usually he couldn't run..... "Leave me alone." he barley squeaked out. Discord grinned red light from a blood moon shone off his one fang. "Why if I left you alone you'd be dead!" Discord exclaimed his miss formed body stretching straight as he laughed upwards towards the moon. Darksoul Bolted, hardly believing he had, Discords dragon like tale just  missed in grabbing him by a fraction of a hove and wrapped upon itself. Discords voice chased him upon the wind at his back "Silly pony! Chaos is everywhere and so am I!" Discord chided him simply appearing in front of him laughing at such amusing prey.

"Besides you can't run away from yourself! Why don't you stop and reflect on that for a moment" Discord chuckled, as the world around Darksoul turned black. Their was nothing around him, nothing at all not even the ground of bodies. He floated in blackness...except.....suddenly he saw a mirror slowly floating towards him. he tried to run but his hooves sought no purchase in the void. As his gaze tried to avoid the mirror it just seemed to be anywhere he looked, so he simply looked to the bottom of it. He saw the familiar red glow of his magic almost looking like fire, it surrounded his hooves and legs except it was flecked with a million or so pinpoints of intense orange light twinkling like stars in his magical aura. at the base where each point laid his body mirrored the twinkle

with a red pinpoint glow his body seeming to be fully doused in the energy. He instinctively knew that the twinkles were not emanating out of his body, but were points at which his body was syphoning off his magic. Darksoul couldn't help himself his gaze wandered further upwards towards his one atrophied wing. He had never actually seen the product of his practice and gasped art the red magical wings he saw. Red semi-opaque feathers with magical energy swirling like small eddies of wind. He spread them out and was greeted with the glory of his handiwork, he saw the solid red right muscle he had woven for himself......they looked...like ACTUALE wings just of magic

Without thinking he looked towards his reflections gaze....Horror swept all rational thought from his mind. He tried to avert his eyes but was paralyzed, he couldn't even blink! He began frothing at the mouth, 'This this can't be!' his mind screamed. 'these are not my eyes!' Red burning embers stared into the darkest part of his soul and he could feel his reflections gaze prying at his mind. It began

to laugh "Well isn't this just delicious!" it said, Discords voice issuing from it's lips "Are you scared of yourself? Of what you are?" it questioned. the ponies flesh in the mirror pulled back on itself like a banana peel of bone and viscera revealing Discord within.

"Awwww phoey it looks like our time together is at an end, but it's been fun!" laughed at a confused Darksoul. "See you soon!" Discord

finished, waving as he turned and walked away from Darksoul.

"BROTHER, BROTHER!!!!" Screwball shouted shaking  him as hard as she could..He awoke in a could sweat and choked on the saliva at the back of his throat. Coughing violently he sat up. "Screwy?" he half gurgled still coughing a bit. "Brother!" she wept tears of relief having been clearly panicked "You were breathing funny and kicking the wall sooo hard" she told him floating in the air and hugging his neck tightly. He looked towards where his back feet had been laying and saw he had almost kicked right through the houses corner post and wall, it had splintered and small rivets of moonlight could be seen upon the floor from the cracks. "What were you dreaming of?" she asked worried. He decided not to tell her about Discord and replied "I think it was myself" it was the truth after all....but the thought sent a shiver down his spine. 'How much of it was me.....'  he could hear a great wind howling outside.
