"this my boy is one of my best works. The seeds of discord ran so deep it was like a drink of fresh choclet milk." Discord Narrated.

"I had everypony turning on each other on the simplest fear!" Discord laughed amused at his own horror. "It was the great pony wars, well before those meddlers Celestia and luna appeared. One of my first memories. Now back then your little augmentation magic's were commonplace, they hadn't been banned in fact it was encouraged. as well as was weapon magic and conjuration magic.

The scene Darksoul witnessed had changed from a battle field of warring tribes unto a battle of two unicorn sages. Their pegisai knights and earth ponies clashed around them in bloody combat and death screams rang up around the two unhearing unicorns as they battled.

Swords clashed and skulls cracked as two massive armies clashed. In the center the two unicorns cast horrable spells of fire and lightning, of ice and wind. Their concentration so great that they failed to notice their own armies falling in the fallout. Hooves glowed bright of magical energies creating talons and claws as they grappled with each other trying to gain advantage. Horns elongated into great swords as they dueled each other. Blood swelled upon their flanks and fell in a pool joining the dead around them each striking blow upon blow upon open flank. One would raise a shield to deflect the oncoming ball of fire or lighting or acid that the other cast. Whilst still seeking an opening to inflict a death blow to the other.  One the darkest of black suddenly surgerd betwixt the barrage his now edged horn finding the soft flesh of the defending sage and piercing the light greys heart, blood flowing down his horn he let out a guttural neigh and bucked high into the night. Thus Signaling his opponents defeat. The defeated sages army fled upon their masters death only to be quickly hunted down and slayed.

"Oooooh such glory days!" Discord reminisced. "Wait tho I've gotten all turned around haven't I?" discord asked. "You asked why? Well why not?" he said answering himself in laughter. Darksoul did not speak, he just took in the vision and was beheld in horrer.

"Now during this time there was a sect of ponies who held themselves apart from the violence." Discord explained.  "They lived and

breathed to help other ponies in need. They came from sages who sought to be more, they sough to be gods, to be alicorns." Upon such a thought Discord found much mirth. "Of course wiser beings as you and me know they failed. But still they tried. They became known as the cursed. Their magic and origin twisting and warping their bodies. They had all the qualities of earth, pegasai, and unicorn

all in one body. But no regular pony is meant to have that power and so like their magic their bodies became twisted." Discord laughed in amusement at such a foolish notion. So they practiced magic that would make them whole and as such became knowen as great healers across the newly war-torn Equesria. But always their bodies were deformed and were despised." Discord looked pointedly at Darksoul upon that sentence.

"Now their settlement was small, maybe 20 or only up to 30 strong. But throughout the war they were left alone. Armies of 10,000 ponies or more had fallen to them when they were assaulted, and all tales from the survivors spoke of undying warriors. It didn't take long for kings and queens of empires to beg them for help. Normally they refused. But a great and kind Earth pony king begged for their assistance and the chieftain of the settlement had had a new foal. Seeing this king as an end of  the war and as a great king, the chieftain of the healers granted him a great blessing. 'Take my foal and my blessing, take him and teach him kindness like you show to your enemies.'  The chieftain told him in confidence. Earthlord agreed without hesitance and promised he would make a hero out of the young foal." Discord giggled in anticipation of his own tales twisted ending. Darksoul just beheald it captivated but dreading it's ending.

Now the Earthlord was a very kind and just pony, everytown he took was granted the rights of freedom, and they were free to do as they pleased so long as it didn't hinder his war effort. Nor did he demand all able bodies like other warlords did. Nor did he demand tithe. His only demand was peace with his nation. As such he gained great power and following, and his army swelled with all three races. The young foal he was granted was very skilled at healing, being able to heal his armies in days. No one knows the foals name but he made the Earthlord even greater, his armies healed withen a suns dawn. Earthlord in his turn took the young foal and put him under his unicorn sages. The foal devoured all they could teach him, learning in days what would take years of teaching. The foal was soon granted the title of general. Each conquest the Earthloard took in new lands cost him less and less of his army, the now colt aiding his strategy till the point that there was no strategy, attack, conquer, repeat. The Earthlord so pleased with his adopted sun an pupil offerd up his own daughter for marriage, for he knew that they had been in an affiare, the colt trying to hide it, and his daughter rejecting all offers of marriage. The Earthlord wept when he announced their union, for so happy was his adopted sun and his blood daughter. He knew it was ment to be.

"Now for the chaos" Discord interrupted the vison gleefully.

Fire Erupted in the capitol, the army of "purists" blazed into the night. There had always been a small segment that had despised  the "deformed"  prince and now it had erupted upon the wedding night. Earthlord himself was fighting off the remnants of the generals who disproved of the "deformed" princes appointment as the new heir. Their armies stormed the castle, laying waste to all living souls.

Princess Terra begged the colt, "Please save my father they will kill him without you!" "But.......my love you need me here to protect you." the colt replied "I need you both!" Terra said. The colt had no reply, it was his lovers command.  He set out towards the throne room.

His way was blocked of course, but his magic easily destroyed the guards, for pegisai cannot stand up to the magic of fire and lightning he had been taught , upon the stair well foolish earth ponies tried to stop him, only to be pressed against the walls by the very stones of the tower itself crushing them into pulp. The colt enterd into the throne room, surrounded by darkness, his horn the only light.

A dark armored pegusai had the Earthlord pressed upon the floor, slowly stealing his breath. "Let my father go!" the colt said, his stare a burning beam.  Morte Mare of the next nation laughed as he pressed upon EarthLoards throaght. "What can you do little foal?" he asked laughing for the colt before him was at best half his size. Seeing his adopted fathers eyes roll as he lay dying the young colt spoke simply. "Let my father go." The dark black armored pony laughed at him "What can a freak like you do?" pressing his hooves down tighter on the Earthloards throat. The world went black for the colt, for he only saw danger to one who loved him.

The colt began a cursed magic, one his kind was never to do, but he didn't even think nor care about it. He approached the dark armored figure offering one last chance. "Let him go or you WILL DIE." he spoke calmly. The invader laughed "What can a broken pony like you do?" it asked. The pony in black armore froze cluthing it's cheast in pain. "I gave you one chance" the colt said. Fear griped the invaders eyes as it felt......SOMETHING stop. The colt walked camly over to Earthlord are you okay he asked? The armord pony fell over and siliva spilled out of it's mouth. "Thank you my son" Earthpony replied  as his attaker fell down his heart having stoped.   "How is the rest of the empire?"  Earthlord asked
