The Wrath of the Divines: The silence of Death.by Blackplague689ChaptersChapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 5Chapter 2Chapter 2 Deep beneath the planet's surface, lied a large cavern. In the said cavern the Gods would meet and discuss different events. Over the ages it had not been used much, and as such it would grow larger and larger. But one thing will exist. In the center of the giant chasm, was a large rectangular table, where the beings would meet during a meeting. Right now as they wait for their leader, two gods decided to have a friendly conversation. Gods and goddesses surround the two beings, placing bets on whom they think would win. On one side sat the Lycanthrope, Ethos. He was known to be the god of earthly elements, manipulating lightning, stone, ice, and fire. Before him sat the gargoyle, Sidious. The said Gargoyle was the God of hidden desires, manipulating other to follow the deadly path of seven sins. He is very selective on who should be his next victim, choosing only those who seem fit for the curse. Right now he both deities, were locked in eternal combat, the lovely game of arm wrestling. Once bets were made, the two competitors counted down from five. Once they stopped counting, they began the trial of brute strength. Veins popped of Sidious’ arms as he lowered the wolf’s hand towards the ground. The Gargoyle could only smile at what was to be his awaiting victory. However he did not expect Ethos to put up much of a fight either. If it wasn’t for his thick coat, you would see veins running down the losing gods arms Everybody in the vicinity was shocked to see Ethos’ arm glow brown, as he began to move his opponent's hand upwards. Sidious fought valiantly to defeat his foe, but it proved fruitless as his hand was slammed into the hard stone of the rectangular table. Everyone began to cheer at the wolf god’s victory, he too joyously flexed his muscles, but was interrupted by a low scratchy voice. “You fucking cheated. You know we are not allowed to use our magic,” the gargoyle hissed. The lycan could only chuckle,” nowhere does it say, that we cannot use our powers in a contest.” In a fury of anger the fiend tackled the wolf to ground and began to pummel him. Caught in the moment the other gods partook in the fighting frenzy. Faces collided with fist, claws dug into flesh, and teeth tore into bone. Pathos, sat in his chair, watching the blood frenzy before him. He too wished to partake, but there were important matters to discuss. Discord stood next to the god of death, smiling at the chaos before him. “Oh. What delight it is to watch the shenanigans of immortals,” discord laughed. The human smirked,” I do, too. But we have important matters to discuss.” then stood up and reached out with his arms. The fighting gods froze as if they were being held by hands. They looks towards the table, and widen their eyes.” Now that I have your attention, can you sit in your designated seat,” he commanded as he let go of the immortals. Once seated, Pathos looked about to make sure everyone was there. There was Carnage, a tall bulky Minotaur, whom of which stood a foot taller than others of his race. He was the God of strength, brutality, and war. His strength is almost unparalleled. Rapture, a medium sized dragon with long black scales. He was known as the god of hatred and despair. Not only could he do dragon magic, but he could utilize dark and blood magic. Psych was a pale looking Diamond dog. He was the god of insanity. Then there was Eterna, the goddess of wrathful nature. She was a Mystical Elk, who had purple hair instead of green like others of her kind. Scorpio was the scorpion god. His race would grow massive in size, but they were rarely intelligent. He was also the god of demonic fiends. What was left were the twins. Zeal and Fate, were twins of opposite gender. While Fate was the goddess of famine, her brother, Fate, was the god of pestilence. Both come from a species of Zebra, though they are beings of different patterns. Once Pathos was done mentally taking role, he then noticed that a particular goddess was missing. “Where is Nightmare Moon,” he asked all the other gods. Silence could be heard at the moot. Not a single peep was made. Some of the hesitant to answer, for they didn’t know where Nightmare was located. Pathos sighed and then said,” If none of you shall speak, then make you I shall.” All the gods cringed at the thought of being tortured by Pathos. They remember the Death god form when they were mortal, and knew of his sadistic tendencies. Fate slowly raised her hoof and spoke,” Her whereabouts, we do not know. But still tell us, what you wish to bestow” With a sigh, Pathos sat down in his seat and said,” If that’s soothe the meeting shall commence, without her. Everybody smile at the prospect of not facing Death’s wrath. Pathos’ crimson glowing eyes, began to gaze at the gods. Does anybody know why we are here today,” Pathos questioned. Carnage was quick to ask,” Is it the strange fluctuations of power we must of felt earlier.” Pathos’ mind was eased a little by the news. So I and Discord are not going completely bonkers. He then turned towards Discord, whom of which had a smiled adorned his face. At least I’m not going insane. The human then turned towards his audience and answered, “Yes. That is exactly why we are here today.” The other deities all become greatly discouraged, they too felt the same thing. “So wait, I wasn't going insane earlier,” Psych shouted with his usual higher pitched voice. “Psych. You are already bat shit crazy,” Scorpio laughed in a rather deep tone. “Hey. Take that back,” Psych retorted “Both of you, Shut up,” Pathos shouted. The two gods visibly gulped. “Now I wish to wish to know, what it is we all felt,” Pathos stated as he furrowed his eyebrows at the others. “I may be of some help,” A distorted feminine voice spoke. Everybody looked up to see a dark mist, slowly made its way to a seat to the right of Pathos. Once there it materialized into a human like shape, and took a seat. “Now that you are here, I know don’t have to hunt you down. Now please, elaborate on what you just said, “Pathos asked. The goddess of nightmares mentally smiled, “As I was traveling to the North, I came across a strange oddity. Near the Everfree forest there is a city surrounded by a dome of magic. I only noticed it, when the dome fell. For a few seconds, I gazed at the city, but then it vanished as the dome covered it once more Pathos was beyond weary, he was now startled at the news... He did not know of any civilization that far North. To even be able to harness enough magic to coat itself was unimaginable. “And you are sure of this,” Pathos asked quizzically. “I am positive,” the astral spirit replied. “This is troubling news indeed,” the human stated as he pondered on what to do next. “Excuse me but may I speak,” Eterna asked, her voice resonating with wisdom. “That you may,” Pathos replied. “Shouldn’t we have nightmare monitor this new area. I am positive she will be able to do so without being seen,” the Elk recommended “Yes she may not be seen, but she may not be powerful enough to gaze into the civilization. She is a weakling and a coward compared to who I have in mind,” Pathos quickly responded. He then turned towards Nightmare to see a hurtful expression adorned her face. "Come now. Don’t tell me you are offended. Nightmare looked up at the god of death. If only she could crying. When she first met Pathos, he was a different being. She remembered the time, when they both would be happy together. In a moment of bliss, he would held her in his arms. He promised her then that he would forever love her, but he had broken that promise. Now all that he cared about was power and death. “No I am not defended,” She lied, Sidious began to fidget in his seat, obviously aware of her lie. “Well then. Discord shall scout the civilization and report directly to me. Any rejections, "The man looked about to see no one reply, then said,” Alright meeting adjourned.” With that every god left the chasm, and began whatever task they needed to do. Chapter 3Author's Note So this is were we introduce why the sad tag is involved. As well as some fighting. Chapter 3 “Hold on a minute. Let me get this straight. You are the alleged god of death,” Tirek questioned, astonished by what he had just heard. “Yes, but I am also the god of misery and strife. Why do you ask,” Pathos stated with a wide grin adorned his face. “Because, anybody who knows a single thing about the old world, knew and feared the god of death. Now I know why Discord mentioned he was friends with death,” Tirek answered. “Ah. So Dissy is still around. How is he fairing,” the man asked. “He now helps the wretched ponies,” Tirek growled. Still upset by his defeat. Pathos had a mixture of feelings flow through him, disbelief, betrayal, but mostly hatred. “So, the god of chaos has finally been tamed. But that will be a latter discussion. Right now I am still telling my story,” Pathos stated, but then paused. A thought occurred to him. “How about instead of telling you my story and wasting my energy. I show you it,” the human said, as he conjured a large ball for him and his friend to gaze into. -o- After the meeting Nightmare flew away into the night, not knowing that the meeting had taken that much time. She truthfully didn’t care. She just wanted to be alone. Oh, wait. She already was. With a sigh the human shaped astral projection lied on a cloud, her mood causing the said cloud to darken, and begin pouring down rain. Nightmare didn’t know what to do. Nothing seemed to please her. Creating nightmares to innocent individuals, was not appetizing as it once were. Neither was driving people insane to the point of making them kill each other. They still blame a mirror, if only she could laugh. But she couldn’t. All she could fill was emptiness and despair. She no longer wish to be immortal, if it meant she could not die by her own will. For now all she could do was lie on the cloud and remember how life had used to been. Wasting away, as her emotions tears into her being. Her thoughts were interrupted, when a familiar voice called out to her. “Nightmare... Nightmare. Where are you,” the God of hidden desires shouted. Nightmare could feel the beating of wings, as the sound continued to become louder and louder. “Ah there you are,” Sidious exclaimed with a smile. “Leave me be, Sidious,” the Nightmare goddess pleaded. Sidious’ could only frown. He pitied nightmare, even though as a god he wasn’t supposed to feel such emotion. Her love had abandoned her in his lust for power. All the praise that Pathos had given her, was nothing to the amount of criticism she received a few minutes ago. “I am truly sorry, Nightmare,” Sidious spoke, with a sorrowful expression. “I do not want your pity,” Nightmare growled, as she sat up and glared at the gargoyle. The go could only flinch at the display. Nightmare was one of the most feared God or Goddess, other than Pathos. The only reason Discord isn’t feared is because of how much of a trickster he is. “Um...Um-,” Sidious tries to speak, but was rudely interrupted “Heh, How pathetic. The one trying to reassure me, cannot even assure himself. You are useless,” Nightmare bellowed. In her anger, she did not notice that the god was visibly shaking. She then noticed that she had taken it too far, and physically relaxed. Sidious could not believe what he had heard. Nightmare had just called him useless, the one of the few gods who appreciated him. Had just called him useless. What was weird was that Sidious was shaking. Not from fear, but anger. No he was shaking, due to rage. Complete and absolute rage. Sidious clenched his claws and started to shout at the astral being, “You know what. Go fuck yourself. I try to help, but you are being a complete and total bitch. You know what. You don’t even deserve Pathos.” the gargoyle then took a deep breath. Once finished he hissed, “I am not surprised that he left you.” With that the god flew away. Nightmare sat there with her mouth gaped. Never in his immortality, has he ever been so harsh to her. But what truly struck her was what he had said. “You don’t even deserve Pathos.” The words continued to burn itself into her mind “You don’t even deserve Pathos. I am not surprised that he left you.” Nightmare tried to push the thoughts away, but they continued to linger. “You don’t even deserve Pathos. I am not surprised that he left you.” It wasn’t long before she was saying the words in synch with the voice in her head. “I don’t even deserve Pathos. No wonder he left me,” The transparent humanoid spoke, as she lied back down on the cloud. For the rest of that day, she continued saying the same phrase over and over again. Not aware of the world around. All she cared about was how much she wished she was mortal... So that she could kill herself. -o- As he flew, Sidious was overflowing with anger. He desire to kill a mortal. No. He needed to kill a mortal, and he knew where to find one. The gargoyle flew east to the mountain range of Katul, Home of both dragons and diamond dogs. He smirked, when his gazed at battalion of Diamond. They were eight of them in total. All of them wearing rusty armor, and carrying dragon bone halberds. It was not the Diamond dogs that were widely feared, but rather the weapons they craft. Their spears are so delicately sharpened. One swing could cut through grass. 'Perfect,' the gargoyle thought as he carefully trailed the soldiers, making sure not to be noticed. He then began to listen into the armored forces conversation. "Chestpaw, why the fuck we here, again," one of the soldiers asked. He had white fur and yellow eyes, his canines were more pronounced, and he stood taller than his brethren. The lead diamond dog scoffed, “we scouting to see if dragon cave up here." Chestpaw was shorter than the rest of his kind. He had broken teeth and a scar over his left eye. He too. Had white fur and yellow eyes. "Oh. Oh. We take gems yes," Another diamond dog happily chirped. "No Largepaw. We only scout. No gem stealing," Chestpaw stated, as he continued marching. Although he might be named Largepaw, he was actually born with a rare mutation that made his paws half the size they should be, but also made them superior in flexibility. ‘Oh the fun. One of them is already very greedy,” the gargoyle smirked. Sidious continued to follow the group of diamond dogs until they reached a large cave .The cave unlike others appeared to have been dug into, indicating it was not of natural origin. Large claw marks also indicated that a large beast had carved it. “Here it is boys,” Chestpaw announced, as he halted his comrades with the raise of his right paw. Turning towards his brethren, he spoke once more, “Remember we scouting. We not taking gems.” Largepaw mumbled something under his breath, on to receive an intense gaze from his superior “What you say,” the dog commander asked, as he stared into the very soul of Largepaw. “Nothing, sir,” the canine gulped, as he cringed before his leader. “Good now we see if there be dragon inside,” Chestpaw commanded, as he wandered into the dark abyss. All the others followed their into the pitch black void. Sidious too, stalked his prey -o- In the cave, silence and darkness was omnipresent. If it were not for his keen eyes, he would have not been able to follow. The diamond dogs were a different story. “OW. Stop hitting me,” one of the dogs wined. “I’m sorry. Didn’t mean to hit you,” another dog apologized. “Dammit, I hit a rock,” Largepaw yelped. “I’m surrounded, by fucktards,” Chestpaw mumbled as he grabbed a light stone from his satchel, and lit it. He was then silent, as too were his friends. There before them slept a large blue dragon, with midnight blue spikes. It was not the dragon itself that left the mutts speechless, but rather the amount of gems it laid upon. “By the nine,” Largepaw said, as he began to drool over the gems. Now was the perfect opportunity for the gargoyle to strike. He flared his magic, and a green glow engulfed his right claw. With a wave of his hand the aura was shot into Largepaw, and disappeared Something strange occurred to Largepaw. He now desire more than anything, the large pile of gems that was before him. He wanted it. No, he needed them. They were going to be his. And his alone. It will fuel his greed. With a large growl, the deformed diamond dog charged the slumbering beast. He raised his mighty blade, ready to strike. The dragon though, was awoken. With a sweep of its tail, the greedy diamond dog was thrown to the wall. “Dammit, charge,” Largepaw shouted, as he ran towards the flying beast. A diamond dog attempted to lunge at the dragon, only to be grabbed in midair and slammed to the ground. His body bending in ways not seemed plausible. Two more dogs rushed the beast, only for one to be grabbed by the dragon’s tail and hurled at the other, knocking him over. Three others surrounded the beast. “Ha-ha. We got you now,” the warriors gloated. Soon after one was stepped on, by their foes massive foots. Another was grabbed by the dragon’s claws and ripped in half. The other soldier stood motionless, frozen by fear. The dragon proceeded to breathe fire on the dog. Hid cries of agony, as his flesh melted of his skin, pleased the watchful god. When the blue beast was done scorching the poor fool, the fire lifted. All that was left was the boiling of liquidized flesh. Chestpaw had a loss of words for his comrade’s death. In a matter of a few minutes they were dead. This filled the commander with much grief, but mostly rage. With a flick of his wrist. Sidious summoned for the diamond dogs rage, only this time his hand glowed red. Once struck the mutt, became overwhelmed with hatred. He wanted to murder the Dragon. No he wanted to hear its cries of agony. He desired the beast to feel his wrath. With a mighty shout he charged the beast, raising his weapon. The blue dragon swung its massive arms, only for Chest paw to slide under it, with a swing of his blade he cut into the belly of the beast. With a loud cry the dragon plummeted to the ground. Lucky for the veteran, he was able to avoid getting smashed by the massive creature’s weight. He then proceeded to climb his next victim, and was ready to strike. -o- Xenia had never felt such pain. While trying to fight off her home’s invaders, one of them managed to cut her along the stomach. She could feel the warmness of her blood, as it flowed freely from her wound. Crying in pain, she failed to notice her attacker standing atop her. IT wasn’t until he ripped of her middle spike, that she noticed him. Screaming in agony, the dragoness turned to see a Diamond dog on her back, with her appendage in his grasp. “Please don’t kill me,” she pleaded with tears, blurring her vision. The mutt only gave her a sickening smile, before he drove her blade into her back. With the breaking of her spinal cored, her vision faded. -o- Sidious had a large smile adorned his face. Not only was the fight entertaining, but it also allowed him to vent his frustration His sudden bliss, however, was interrupted by the voice of a certain draconequus. “Oooo. What a marvelous show,” Discord announced, as he floated in midair eating a bag of popcorn. “Oh. It’s you,” Sidious stated as he glared at the freak. “And is there anything wrong with such,” Discord asked still eating his popcorn. “Nothing, besides the fact you're supposed to investigate the new civilization,” the gargoyle questioned. “Yah, but I wanted to visit my pal,” Discord stated as he put an arm over the god. “Discord. You are so full of shit,” Sidious smirked. “Ok. You got me,, and now that you have. I will give you a present,” discord laughed, as he dropped a present in front of the gargoyle. Only for it to explode. With even more laughter, Discord left with the snap of his fingers. “Dammit, Discord,” The angry god shouted, as he flew out of the cave. Chapter 4“Ah what do we have here,” Discord pondered as he looked at the strange sight before him. Before him stood a large magical barrier that stretch for miles and miles, and stood a few miles high. This was beyond strange for the god, and he was the incarnate of strange. Well, psych could be that too, but that is another story. Discord had never seen a being with enough magic or power to cast a veil and a wide piece of land, other than Pathos and Nightmare Moon. “Well this is certainly intriguing,” Discord smirked as he flew next to the field staying true to its purpose, the god of chaos could not see past it. Even when he pressed his face against it, his vision could not penetrate the thick magical field. “Well. I’ll be damned. I cannot see past this shit,” Discord scoffed, as he backed away from his worthy adversary. He put a claw underneath his chin, and began to think, and began to try and solve his dilemma. Teleportation. No. It’s more than likely impervious to most magic. Knock on it. No. I do not want to draw too much attention to myself. How about phantasmal. No, wait. That is an excellent idea. Discord smiled, as he pulled his hand away from his chin and flared his magic. In a bright flash he turned transparent. Let’s see if this works. He then proceeded to try to go through the field. Only for him to slam face first into the field. “God fucking dammit,” Discord shouted, as he held his bleeding snout. -o- In her chambers, Constella felt a weird vibration. She then looked about to see what had caused the disturbance. Not noticing anything, she ignored it thinking that she had imagined it. Oh how wrong she was. -o- After Discord stopped the bleeding of his nose. He decided to retry passing through the field once more. “Ok. If this doesn’t work, I’m seriously going to make a volcano here,” the lord of chaos spoke, as he flared his magic once more. Making sure he didn’t make the same mistake twice, he thought carefully about what he was doing...As if. He quickly casted a quick spell, and with a loud pop, he became astral. With more desire than the Diamond dog he watched kill that dragon, he charged the field. Passing through with utmost ease, Discord wanted to celebrate. Only that he knew he would be seen. “Now I need to-”, Discord stated, before his jaw dropped to the ground, literally. Before him was vast amounts of towns, keeps, and farmlands. He had never seen so much prosperity. It was sickening. What also caught his eyes was that the earth was being tended to by the oddest of creature...A pony. After picking up his jaw, he looked about to see that they were many other ponies. Best yet was that they were of different colors. If he didn't know any better, he would have thought that he created this place by mistake. “By the Goths. Look at this place,” Discord stated, as he beckoned, for no one in particular (Yes he did say Goths) “It’s peaceful. It’s so peaceful,” Discord continued to state, before a sadistic grin spread across his face.” OH. What chaos I could create,” he spoke as he flared his magic once more. -o- In the capital of Equis, Solaris sat on his throne listening to the complaints of uptight nobles. “And that is why, business should not have to pay for workers compensation,” Wealthy Advisor stated, as he stood before royalty. He was a brown unicorn, with a bright blue mane. He owned the smoothing business that made all sorts of weapons and armor for a cheap price, at the expense of his smiths. His cutie mark was that of a stack of gold smashing a pony beneath it. It indicated how selfish and greedy he was. “I don’t see your point, Wealthy Advisor. Records show that out of all the business in all of Equis, yours has the most accidents in just a month. Not to mention that most of the accidents have put ponies in the hospital, on the grounds of severe burning,” Wild Star accused, as he pointed his hoof at his opponent He was a unicorn of violet hue, with a long azure mane. He had a cutie mark of a very well-known constellation. Indicating his love of astronomy. “Why see here,” Wealthy growled, only to be interrupted. “There will be none of that,” Solaris proclaimed. “But-But,” Wealthy tried to state only to be interrupted. “No buts. Mr. Advisor. I will decide what is to happen by tomorrow morning. Until then I wish for you to go home to your families,” the king shouted. “Yes, your majesty,” both nobles stated, as they left the throne room. “Damn nobles,” Solaris bickered under his breath. He then turned to see his trusted friend hand him a letter. With a smile Solaris happily took the letter and ask,” Oh, Time Gate how have you been doing.” “I have been quite well, actually. But you should probably read the letter,” the earth pony said, with a hint of fear in his voice. Time Gate was an elderly pony, already old enough to have seen the birth of his great grandchildren. He had auburn fur and a dark brown mane. His cutie mark was that of a written letter, next to a small watch. He was exceptional, when it came to the royal schedule. “Oh what could be so urgent,” Solaris commented, as he began reading the letter. When he was done, his expression changed from happy to a more serious tone. Dear Solaris, Just a few moments ago, a strange creature was spotted wreaking havoc on the eastern farmlands. What he was doing was unbelievable. Even his appearance was bizarre. He looked as if many species decided to have an orgy, and he was the result. If I hadn’t see it with my own eyes, I would send the person, whom of which told me about this, to an asylum. With a snap of his fingers he morph the shape of object, miraculously spawn items, and even break every law of magic we know today. The guard tried to take him to custody, but he would only laugh and trap of in different states. Some were turned to stone, others frozen, some even continuously burning past the point they should. I have never felt so much fear, when he would just laugh at their misery. The only reason I am sending you this letter now, was because I was able to escape, before all went to shit. We desperately need some back up. Signed by, Caption Charge Gate 4th Earth pony regiment Solaris was beyond words. To be truthful, Solaris didn’t really like how his friend’s son had written, but it was besides the matter. Not only was his kingdom being attacked, but also by a creature of unknown origin. This was troubling indeed. Solaris’ thoughts were interrupted by the sound of an elderly voice. “Sire,” the elderly pony asked worriedly. “Yes. Um. Time Gate have the guards prepare my armor. We have a situation on our hand,” Solaris ordered, with a look of determination in his eyes. “Yes your highness,” Time Gate saluted, as he made a mad dash towards the royal armory. Before he was the royal advisor, the earth pony was the captain of the 2nd Earth pony regiment. That is until he took an arrow to the knee from a mishap. Solaris did not know what the mentioned being was, nor did he care. All he knew that, was he would face any adversary in order to protect his kingdom. -o- Discord was having the time of his life, in the new environment. Everything was useless against his power. The nerve 0f them, when he was asked to surrender. That was when the true fun began. Making sure that his victims would stay alive, he fueled his magic into them, making them virtually immortal. There were 12 pony like creature, so he decided to punish them in groups of four. The first group he had frozen solid, all of them feeling the coolness of ice that was way below its freezing point, and the pain of omnipresent frostbite. The next group he decided to have them trapped in a pit of sulfuric acid, mind you because they could not die, the will feel their flesh burn past the point of corrosion. The last group was a bit tricky, but he still found something humorous to them. He casted magic on them that would slowly morph them into a pony lamp. Their body would twist and contort to that of a lamp, and then shock by several volts of electricity. “Ha-ha, I am having such a party in this country,” Discord laughed, as he listened to the silent scream of his victims. Discord has always had a sadistic sense of humor. He never really liked killing individual, but he sure like hearing them scream. “Just think of all the chaos I could create here,” Discord spoke out, as he thought of what to do next. His train of thought was interrupted, by the sound of a male voice. “What are you,” the voice asked. -o- When Solaris arrived at the unprecedented seen, he could not believe what he was looking at. True to Charge Gate's Word, this Abomination of nature, looked as if a large number of creatures decided to have sexual intercourse with one another. “What are you,” Solaris asked, as he held himself in the air with his massive bird like wings. The creature turned towards Solaris, and the king could only recoil from looking upon its sadistic grin, “My. I am from the species of Draconequus. To be exact about what I am, though. I am Discord, The God of Chaos,” the creature named Discord answered, as he...swam...through the air? Solaris could not make sense of the creature. He was swimming through the vast sea known as air. The Alicorn shook his head to make sure he wasn’t seeing things, But when he looked back at the god, he saw him not only swimming, but also drinking a chocolate milk glass. No seriously. Solaris saw the draconequus drink the glass, as if it were liquid. “Ah yes. I seem to have that effect on individuals,” the embodiment of chaos chuckled, at the ponies bewilderment. Shaking his head, Solaris wiped the confusion from his mind. He then proceeded to glare at the strange creature. “I must ask you to, please leave my people be,” the alicorn stated, with vigor present in his voice. “Hm. Since you asked so nicely...No,” the Draconequus half-heartedly responded. “It was not much of a question, as it was a demand,” the anger king shouted, as he flared his horn. Discords smile widened even further. The strange creature before him, was emitting large amounts of magic. Discord too flared his magic and replied. “If you insist.” Discord will remember this fight for days to come, and even beyond that. It will be forever be engraved in his name. The day he will fight a foe worthy to even be his nemeses. The day that Discord, the god of chaos and disharmony, was not impervious to everything the world had to offer. -o- Pathos sat on his frozen throne, watching the activities of Discord. Without the beings knowing, he had implanted discord with a shade. An undead creature, whom of which were great at spying. They are invisible and could almost be impossible to detect. They can attach any surface with their suction cups, and faze through anything. The only reason, he hadn’t wanted to use them for the mission, was that the other gods did not know he could bring forth the armies of the dead. “So, this is the ruler of the new nation,” Pathos stated with a worried. He had never seen a mortal being with so much magic. In fact, he was starting to doubt that discord adversary was mortal at all. What was even more frightening, was that he was not clearly the maker of the magical field. Which meant there was more like him. “Discord. I can only hope, you know what you have gotten yourself into,” Pathos muttered, as he continued to watch the scene before him. Pathos knew that, if Discord where to lose this fight against his opponent. The very likelihood of Pathos’ divine rule was at stake. Pathos would, ironically, have to restore order. Chapter 5Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
Chapter 2Chapter 2 Deep beneath the planet's surface, lied a large cavern. In the said cavern the Gods would meet and discuss different events. Over the ages it had not been used much, and as such it would grow larger and larger. But one thing will exist. In the center of the giant chasm, was a large rectangular table, where the beings would meet during a meeting. Right now as they wait for their leader, two gods decided to have a friendly conversation. Gods and goddesses surround the two beings, placing bets on whom they think would win. On one side sat the Lycanthrope, Ethos. He was known to be the god of earthly elements, manipulating lightning, stone, ice, and fire. Before him sat the gargoyle, Sidious. The said Gargoyle was the God of hidden desires, manipulating other to follow the deadly path of seven sins. He is very selective on who should be his next victim, choosing only those who seem fit for the curse. Right now he both deities, were locked in eternal combat, the lovely game of arm wrestling. Once bets were made, the two competitors counted down from five. Once they stopped counting, they began the trial of brute strength. Veins popped of Sidious’ arms as he lowered the wolf’s hand towards the ground. The Gargoyle could only smile at what was to be his awaiting victory. However he did not expect Ethos to put up much of a fight either. If it wasn’t for his thick coat, you would see veins running down the losing gods arms Everybody in the vicinity was shocked to see Ethos’ arm glow brown, as he began to move his opponent's hand upwards. Sidious fought valiantly to defeat his foe, but it proved fruitless as his hand was slammed into the hard stone of the rectangular table. Everyone began to cheer at the wolf god’s victory, he too joyously flexed his muscles, but was interrupted by a low scratchy voice. “You fucking cheated. You know we are not allowed to use our magic,” the gargoyle hissed. The lycan could only chuckle,” nowhere does it say, that we cannot use our powers in a contest.” In a fury of anger the fiend tackled the wolf to ground and began to pummel him. Caught in the moment the other gods partook in the fighting frenzy. Faces collided with fist, claws dug into flesh, and teeth tore into bone. Pathos, sat in his chair, watching the blood frenzy before him. He too wished to partake, but there were important matters to discuss. Discord stood next to the god of death, smiling at the chaos before him. “Oh. What delight it is to watch the shenanigans of immortals,” discord laughed. The human smirked,” I do, too. But we have important matters to discuss.” then stood up and reached out with his arms. The fighting gods froze as if they were being held by hands. They looks towards the table, and widen their eyes.” Now that I have your attention, can you sit in your designated seat,” he commanded as he let go of the immortals. Once seated, Pathos looked about to make sure everyone was there. There was Carnage, a tall bulky Minotaur, whom of which stood a foot taller than others of his race. He was the God of strength, brutality, and war. His strength is almost unparalleled. Rapture, a medium sized dragon with long black scales. He was known as the god of hatred and despair. Not only could he do dragon magic, but he could utilize dark and blood magic. Psych was a pale looking Diamond dog. He was the god of insanity. Then there was Eterna, the goddess of wrathful nature. She was a Mystical Elk, who had purple hair instead of green like others of her kind. Scorpio was the scorpion god. His race would grow massive in size, but they were rarely intelligent. He was also the god of demonic fiends. What was left were the twins. Zeal and Fate, were twins of opposite gender. While Fate was the goddess of famine, her brother, Fate, was the god of pestilence. Both come from a species of Zebra, though they are beings of different patterns. Once Pathos was done mentally taking role, he then noticed that a particular goddess was missing. “Where is Nightmare Moon,” he asked all the other gods. Silence could be heard at the moot. Not a single peep was made. Some of the hesitant to answer, for they didn’t know where Nightmare was located. Pathos sighed and then said,” If none of you shall speak, then make you I shall.” All the gods cringed at the thought of being tortured by Pathos. They remember the Death god form when they were mortal, and knew of his sadistic tendencies. Fate slowly raised her hoof and spoke,” Her whereabouts, we do not know. But still tell us, what you wish to bestow” With a sigh, Pathos sat down in his seat and said,” If that’s soothe the meeting shall commence, without her. Everybody smile at the prospect of not facing Death’s wrath. Pathos’ crimson glowing eyes, began to gaze at the gods. Does anybody know why we are here today,” Pathos questioned. Carnage was quick to ask,” Is it the strange fluctuations of power we must of felt earlier.” Pathos’ mind was eased a little by the news. So I and Discord are not going completely bonkers. He then turned towards Discord, whom of which had a smiled adorned his face. At least I’m not going insane. The human then turned towards his audience and answered, “Yes. That is exactly why we are here today.” The other deities all become greatly discouraged, they too felt the same thing. “So wait, I wasn't going insane earlier,” Psych shouted with his usual higher pitched voice. “Psych. You are already bat shit crazy,” Scorpio laughed in a rather deep tone. “Hey. Take that back,” Psych retorted “Both of you, Shut up,” Pathos shouted. The two gods visibly gulped. “Now I wish to wish to know, what it is we all felt,” Pathos stated as he furrowed his eyebrows at the others. “I may be of some help,” A distorted feminine voice spoke. Everybody looked up to see a dark mist, slowly made its way to a seat to the right of Pathos. Once there it materialized into a human like shape, and took a seat. “Now that you are here, I know don’t have to hunt you down. Now please, elaborate on what you just said, “Pathos asked. The goddess of nightmares mentally smiled, “As I was traveling to the North, I came across a strange oddity. Near the Everfree forest there is a city surrounded by a dome of magic. I only noticed it, when the dome fell. For a few seconds, I gazed at the city, but then it vanished as the dome covered it once more Pathos was beyond weary, he was now startled at the news... He did not know of any civilization that far North. To even be able to harness enough magic to coat itself was unimaginable. “And you are sure of this,” Pathos asked quizzically. “I am positive,” the astral spirit replied. “This is troubling news indeed,” the human stated as he pondered on what to do next. “Excuse me but may I speak,” Eterna asked, her voice resonating with wisdom. “That you may,” Pathos replied. “Shouldn’t we have nightmare monitor this new area. I am positive she will be able to do so without being seen,” the Elk recommended “Yes she may not be seen, but she may not be powerful enough to gaze into the civilization. She is a weakling and a coward compared to who I have in mind,” Pathos quickly responded. He then turned towards Nightmare to see a hurtful expression adorned her face. "Come now. Don’t tell me you are offended. Nightmare looked up at the god of death. If only she could crying. When she first met Pathos, he was a different being. She remembered the time, when they both would be happy together. In a moment of bliss, he would held her in his arms. He promised her then that he would forever love her, but he had broken that promise. Now all that he cared about was power and death. “No I am not defended,” She lied, Sidious began to fidget in his seat, obviously aware of her lie. “Well then. Discord shall scout the civilization and report directly to me. Any rejections, "The man looked about to see no one reply, then said,” Alright meeting adjourned.” With that every god left the chasm, and began whatever task they needed to do.
Chapter 3Author's Note So this is were we introduce why the sad tag is involved. As well as some fighting. Chapter 3 “Hold on a minute. Let me get this straight. You are the alleged god of death,” Tirek questioned, astonished by what he had just heard. “Yes, but I am also the god of misery and strife. Why do you ask,” Pathos stated with a wide grin adorned his face. “Because, anybody who knows a single thing about the old world, knew and feared the god of death. Now I know why Discord mentioned he was friends with death,” Tirek answered. “Ah. So Dissy is still around. How is he fairing,” the man asked. “He now helps the wretched ponies,” Tirek growled. Still upset by his defeat. Pathos had a mixture of feelings flow through him, disbelief, betrayal, but mostly hatred. “So, the god of chaos has finally been tamed. But that will be a latter discussion. Right now I am still telling my story,” Pathos stated, but then paused. A thought occurred to him. “How about instead of telling you my story and wasting my energy. I show you it,” the human said, as he conjured a large ball for him and his friend to gaze into. -o- After the meeting Nightmare flew away into the night, not knowing that the meeting had taken that much time. She truthfully didn’t care. She just wanted to be alone. Oh, wait. She already was. With a sigh the human shaped astral projection lied on a cloud, her mood causing the said cloud to darken, and begin pouring down rain. Nightmare didn’t know what to do. Nothing seemed to please her. Creating nightmares to innocent individuals, was not appetizing as it once were. Neither was driving people insane to the point of making them kill each other. They still blame a mirror, if only she could laugh. But she couldn’t. All she could fill was emptiness and despair. She no longer wish to be immortal, if it meant she could not die by her own will. For now all she could do was lie on the cloud and remember how life had used to been. Wasting away, as her emotions tears into her being. Her thoughts were interrupted, when a familiar voice called out to her. “Nightmare... Nightmare. Where are you,” the God of hidden desires shouted. Nightmare could feel the beating of wings, as the sound continued to become louder and louder. “Ah there you are,” Sidious exclaimed with a smile. “Leave me be, Sidious,” the Nightmare goddess pleaded. Sidious’ could only frown. He pitied nightmare, even though as a god he wasn’t supposed to feel such emotion. Her love had abandoned her in his lust for power. All the praise that Pathos had given her, was nothing to the amount of criticism she received a few minutes ago. “I am truly sorry, Nightmare,” Sidious spoke, with a sorrowful expression. “I do not want your pity,” Nightmare growled, as she sat up and glared at the gargoyle. The go could only flinch at the display. Nightmare was one of the most feared God or Goddess, other than Pathos. The only reason Discord isn’t feared is because of how much of a trickster he is. “Um...Um-,” Sidious tries to speak, but was rudely interrupted “Heh, How pathetic. The one trying to reassure me, cannot even assure himself. You are useless,” Nightmare bellowed. In her anger, she did not notice that the god was visibly shaking. She then noticed that she had taken it too far, and physically relaxed. Sidious could not believe what he had heard. Nightmare had just called him useless, the one of the few gods who appreciated him. Had just called him useless. What was weird was that Sidious was shaking. Not from fear, but anger. No he was shaking, due to rage. Complete and absolute rage. Sidious clenched his claws and started to shout at the astral being, “You know what. Go fuck yourself. I try to help, but you are being a complete and total bitch. You know what. You don’t even deserve Pathos.” the gargoyle then took a deep breath. Once finished he hissed, “I am not surprised that he left you.” With that the god flew away. Nightmare sat there with her mouth gaped. Never in his immortality, has he ever been so harsh to her. But what truly struck her was what he had said. “You don’t even deserve Pathos.” The words continued to burn itself into her mind “You don’t even deserve Pathos. I am not surprised that he left you.” Nightmare tried to push the thoughts away, but they continued to linger. “You don’t even deserve Pathos. I am not surprised that he left you.” It wasn’t long before she was saying the words in synch with the voice in her head. “I don’t even deserve Pathos. No wonder he left me,” The transparent humanoid spoke, as she lied back down on the cloud. For the rest of that day, she continued saying the same phrase over and over again. Not aware of the world around. All she cared about was how much she wished she was mortal... So that she could kill herself. -o- As he flew, Sidious was overflowing with anger. He desire to kill a mortal. No. He needed to kill a mortal, and he knew where to find one. The gargoyle flew east to the mountain range of Katul, Home of both dragons and diamond dogs. He smirked, when his gazed at battalion of Diamond. They were eight of them in total. All of them wearing rusty armor, and carrying dragon bone halberds. It was not the Diamond dogs that were widely feared, but rather the weapons they craft. Their spears are so delicately sharpened. One swing could cut through grass. 'Perfect,' the gargoyle thought as he carefully trailed the soldiers, making sure not to be noticed. He then began to listen into the armored forces conversation. "Chestpaw, why the fuck we here, again," one of the soldiers asked. He had white fur and yellow eyes, his canines were more pronounced, and he stood taller than his brethren. The lead diamond dog scoffed, “we scouting to see if dragon cave up here." Chestpaw was shorter than the rest of his kind. He had broken teeth and a scar over his left eye. He too. Had white fur and yellow eyes. "Oh. Oh. We take gems yes," Another diamond dog happily chirped. "No Largepaw. We only scout. No gem stealing," Chestpaw stated, as he continued marching. Although he might be named Largepaw, he was actually born with a rare mutation that made his paws half the size they should be, but also made them superior in flexibility. ‘Oh the fun. One of them is already very greedy,” the gargoyle smirked. Sidious continued to follow the group of diamond dogs until they reached a large cave .The cave unlike others appeared to have been dug into, indicating it was not of natural origin. Large claw marks also indicated that a large beast had carved it. “Here it is boys,” Chestpaw announced, as he halted his comrades with the raise of his right paw. Turning towards his brethren, he spoke once more, “Remember we scouting. We not taking gems.” Largepaw mumbled something under his breath, on to receive an intense gaze from his superior “What you say,” the dog commander asked, as he stared into the very soul of Largepaw. “Nothing, sir,” the canine gulped, as he cringed before his leader. “Good now we see if there be dragon inside,” Chestpaw commanded, as he wandered into the dark abyss. All the others followed their into the pitch black void. Sidious too, stalked his prey -o- In the cave, silence and darkness was omnipresent. If it were not for his keen eyes, he would have not been able to follow. The diamond dogs were a different story. “OW. Stop hitting me,” one of the dogs wined. “I’m sorry. Didn’t mean to hit you,” another dog apologized. “Dammit, I hit a rock,” Largepaw yelped. “I’m surrounded, by fucktards,” Chestpaw mumbled as he grabbed a light stone from his satchel, and lit it. He was then silent, as too were his friends. There before them slept a large blue dragon, with midnight blue spikes. It was not the dragon itself that left the mutts speechless, but rather the amount of gems it laid upon. “By the nine,” Largepaw said, as he began to drool over the gems. Now was the perfect opportunity for the gargoyle to strike. He flared his magic, and a green glow engulfed his right claw. With a wave of his hand the aura was shot into Largepaw, and disappeared Something strange occurred to Largepaw. He now desire more than anything, the large pile of gems that was before him. He wanted it. No, he needed them. They were going to be his. And his alone. It will fuel his greed. With a large growl, the deformed diamond dog charged the slumbering beast. He raised his mighty blade, ready to strike. The dragon though, was awoken. With a sweep of its tail, the greedy diamond dog was thrown to the wall. “Dammit, charge,” Largepaw shouted, as he ran towards the flying beast. A diamond dog attempted to lunge at the dragon, only to be grabbed in midair and slammed to the ground. His body bending in ways not seemed plausible. Two more dogs rushed the beast, only for one to be grabbed by the dragon’s tail and hurled at the other, knocking him over. Three others surrounded the beast. “Ha-ha. We got you now,” the warriors gloated. Soon after one was stepped on, by their foes massive foots. Another was grabbed by the dragon’s claws and ripped in half. The other soldier stood motionless, frozen by fear. The dragon proceeded to breathe fire on the dog. Hid cries of agony, as his flesh melted of his skin, pleased the watchful god. When the blue beast was done scorching the poor fool, the fire lifted. All that was left was the boiling of liquidized flesh. Chestpaw had a loss of words for his comrade’s death. In a matter of a few minutes they were dead. This filled the commander with much grief, but mostly rage. With a flick of his wrist. Sidious summoned for the diamond dogs rage, only this time his hand glowed red. Once struck the mutt, became overwhelmed with hatred. He wanted to murder the Dragon. No he wanted to hear its cries of agony. He desired the beast to feel his wrath. With a mighty shout he charged the beast, raising his weapon. The blue dragon swung its massive arms, only for Chest paw to slide under it, with a swing of his blade he cut into the belly of the beast. With a loud cry the dragon plummeted to the ground. Lucky for the veteran, he was able to avoid getting smashed by the massive creature’s weight. He then proceeded to climb his next victim, and was ready to strike. -o- Xenia had never felt such pain. While trying to fight off her home’s invaders, one of them managed to cut her along the stomach. She could feel the warmness of her blood, as it flowed freely from her wound. Crying in pain, she failed to notice her attacker standing atop her. IT wasn’t until he ripped of her middle spike, that she noticed him. Screaming in agony, the dragoness turned to see a Diamond dog on her back, with her appendage in his grasp. “Please don’t kill me,” she pleaded with tears, blurring her vision. The mutt only gave her a sickening smile, before he drove her blade into her back. With the breaking of her spinal cored, her vision faded. -o- Sidious had a large smile adorned his face. Not only was the fight entertaining, but it also allowed him to vent his frustration His sudden bliss, however, was interrupted by the voice of a certain draconequus. “Oooo. What a marvelous show,” Discord announced, as he floated in midair eating a bag of popcorn. “Oh. It’s you,” Sidious stated as he glared at the freak. “And is there anything wrong with such,” Discord asked still eating his popcorn. “Nothing, besides the fact you're supposed to investigate the new civilization,” the gargoyle questioned. “Yah, but I wanted to visit my pal,” Discord stated as he put an arm over the god. “Discord. You are so full of shit,” Sidious smirked. “Ok. You got me,, and now that you have. I will give you a present,” discord laughed, as he dropped a present in front of the gargoyle. Only for it to explode. With even more laughter, Discord left with the snap of his fingers. “Dammit, Discord,” The angry god shouted, as he flew out of the cave.
Chapter 4“Ah what do we have here,” Discord pondered as he looked at the strange sight before him. Before him stood a large magical barrier that stretch for miles and miles, and stood a few miles high. This was beyond strange for the god, and he was the incarnate of strange. Well, psych could be that too, but that is another story. Discord had never seen a being with enough magic or power to cast a veil and a wide piece of land, other than Pathos and Nightmare Moon. “Well this is certainly intriguing,” Discord smirked as he flew next to the field staying true to its purpose, the god of chaos could not see past it. Even when he pressed his face against it, his vision could not penetrate the thick magical field. “Well. I’ll be damned. I cannot see past this shit,” Discord scoffed, as he backed away from his worthy adversary. He put a claw underneath his chin, and began to think, and began to try and solve his dilemma. Teleportation. No. It’s more than likely impervious to most magic. Knock on it. No. I do not want to draw too much attention to myself. How about phantasmal. No, wait. That is an excellent idea. Discord smiled, as he pulled his hand away from his chin and flared his magic. In a bright flash he turned transparent. Let’s see if this works. He then proceeded to try to go through the field. Only for him to slam face first into the field. “God fucking dammit,” Discord shouted, as he held his bleeding snout. -o- In her chambers, Constella felt a weird vibration. She then looked about to see what had caused the disturbance. Not noticing anything, she ignored it thinking that she had imagined it. Oh how wrong she was. -o- After Discord stopped the bleeding of his nose. He decided to retry passing through the field once more. “Ok. If this doesn’t work, I’m seriously going to make a volcano here,” the lord of chaos spoke, as he flared his magic once more. Making sure he didn’t make the same mistake twice, he thought carefully about what he was doing...As if. He quickly casted a quick spell, and with a loud pop, he became astral. With more desire than the Diamond dog he watched kill that dragon, he charged the field. Passing through with utmost ease, Discord wanted to celebrate. Only that he knew he would be seen. “Now I need to-”, Discord stated, before his jaw dropped to the ground, literally. Before him was vast amounts of towns, keeps, and farmlands. He had never seen so much prosperity. It was sickening. What also caught his eyes was that the earth was being tended to by the oddest of creature...A pony. After picking up his jaw, he looked about to see that they were many other ponies. Best yet was that they were of different colors. If he didn't know any better, he would have thought that he created this place by mistake. “By the Goths. Look at this place,” Discord stated, as he beckoned, for no one in particular (Yes he did say Goths) “It’s peaceful. It’s so peaceful,” Discord continued to state, before a sadistic grin spread across his face.” OH. What chaos I could create,” he spoke as he flared his magic once more. -o- In the capital of Equis, Solaris sat on his throne listening to the complaints of uptight nobles. “And that is why, business should not have to pay for workers compensation,” Wealthy Advisor stated, as he stood before royalty. He was a brown unicorn, with a bright blue mane. He owned the smoothing business that made all sorts of weapons and armor for a cheap price, at the expense of his smiths. His cutie mark was that of a stack of gold smashing a pony beneath it. It indicated how selfish and greedy he was. “I don’t see your point, Wealthy Advisor. Records show that out of all the business in all of Equis, yours has the most accidents in just a month. Not to mention that most of the accidents have put ponies in the hospital, on the grounds of severe burning,” Wild Star accused, as he pointed his hoof at his opponent He was a unicorn of violet hue, with a long azure mane. He had a cutie mark of a very well-known constellation. Indicating his love of astronomy. “Why see here,” Wealthy growled, only to be interrupted. “There will be none of that,” Solaris proclaimed. “But-But,” Wealthy tried to state only to be interrupted. “No buts. Mr. Advisor. I will decide what is to happen by tomorrow morning. Until then I wish for you to go home to your families,” the king shouted. “Yes, your majesty,” both nobles stated, as they left the throne room. “Damn nobles,” Solaris bickered under his breath. He then turned to see his trusted friend hand him a letter. With a smile Solaris happily took the letter and ask,” Oh, Time Gate how have you been doing.” “I have been quite well, actually. But you should probably read the letter,” the earth pony said, with a hint of fear in his voice. Time Gate was an elderly pony, already old enough to have seen the birth of his great grandchildren. He had auburn fur and a dark brown mane. His cutie mark was that of a written letter, next to a small watch. He was exceptional, when it came to the royal schedule. “Oh what could be so urgent,” Solaris commented, as he began reading the letter. When he was done, his expression changed from happy to a more serious tone. Dear Solaris, Just a few moments ago, a strange creature was spotted wreaking havoc on the eastern farmlands. What he was doing was unbelievable. Even his appearance was bizarre. He looked as if many species decided to have an orgy, and he was the result. If I hadn’t see it with my own eyes, I would send the person, whom of which told me about this, to an asylum. With a snap of his fingers he morph the shape of object, miraculously spawn items, and even break every law of magic we know today. The guard tried to take him to custody, but he would only laugh and trap of in different states. Some were turned to stone, others frozen, some even continuously burning past the point they should. I have never felt so much fear, when he would just laugh at their misery. The only reason I am sending you this letter now, was because I was able to escape, before all went to shit. We desperately need some back up. Signed by, Caption Charge Gate 4th Earth pony regiment Solaris was beyond words. To be truthful, Solaris didn’t really like how his friend’s son had written, but it was besides the matter. Not only was his kingdom being attacked, but also by a creature of unknown origin. This was troubling indeed. Solaris’ thoughts were interrupted by the sound of an elderly voice. “Sire,” the elderly pony asked worriedly. “Yes. Um. Time Gate have the guards prepare my armor. We have a situation on our hand,” Solaris ordered, with a look of determination in his eyes. “Yes your highness,” Time Gate saluted, as he made a mad dash towards the royal armory. Before he was the royal advisor, the earth pony was the captain of the 2nd Earth pony regiment. That is until he took an arrow to the knee from a mishap. Solaris did not know what the mentioned being was, nor did he care. All he knew that, was he would face any adversary in order to protect his kingdom. -o- Discord was having the time of his life, in the new environment. Everything was useless against his power. The nerve 0f them, when he was asked to surrender. That was when the true fun began. Making sure that his victims would stay alive, he fueled his magic into them, making them virtually immortal. There were 12 pony like creature, so he decided to punish them in groups of four. The first group he had frozen solid, all of them feeling the coolness of ice that was way below its freezing point, and the pain of omnipresent frostbite. The next group he decided to have them trapped in a pit of sulfuric acid, mind you because they could not die, the will feel their flesh burn past the point of corrosion. The last group was a bit tricky, but he still found something humorous to them. He casted magic on them that would slowly morph them into a pony lamp. Their body would twist and contort to that of a lamp, and then shock by several volts of electricity. “Ha-ha, I am having such a party in this country,” Discord laughed, as he listened to the silent scream of his victims. Discord has always had a sadistic sense of humor. He never really liked killing individual, but he sure like hearing them scream. “Just think of all the chaos I could create here,” Discord spoke out, as he thought of what to do next. His train of thought was interrupted, by the sound of a male voice. “What are you,” the voice asked. -o- When Solaris arrived at the unprecedented seen, he could not believe what he was looking at. True to Charge Gate's Word, this Abomination of nature, looked as if a large number of creatures decided to have sexual intercourse with one another. “What are you,” Solaris asked, as he held himself in the air with his massive bird like wings. The creature turned towards Solaris, and the king could only recoil from looking upon its sadistic grin, “My. I am from the species of Draconequus. To be exact about what I am, though. I am Discord, The God of Chaos,” the creature named Discord answered, as he...swam...through the air? Solaris could not make sense of the creature. He was swimming through the vast sea known as air. The Alicorn shook his head to make sure he wasn’t seeing things, But when he looked back at the god, he saw him not only swimming, but also drinking a chocolate milk glass. No seriously. Solaris saw the draconequus drink the glass, as if it were liquid. “Ah yes. I seem to have that effect on individuals,” the embodiment of chaos chuckled, at the ponies bewilderment. Shaking his head, Solaris wiped the confusion from his mind. He then proceeded to glare at the strange creature. “I must ask you to, please leave my people be,” the alicorn stated, with vigor present in his voice. “Hm. Since you asked so nicely...No,” the Draconequus half-heartedly responded. “It was not much of a question, as it was a demand,” the anger king shouted, as he flared his horn. Discords smile widened even further. The strange creature before him, was emitting large amounts of magic. Discord too flared his magic and replied. “If you insist.” Discord will remember this fight for days to come, and even beyond that. It will be forever be engraved in his name. The day he will fight a foe worthy to even be his nemeses. The day that Discord, the god of chaos and disharmony, was not impervious to everything the world had to offer. -o- Pathos sat on his frozen throne, watching the activities of Discord. Without the beings knowing, he had implanted discord with a shade. An undead creature, whom of which were great at spying. They are invisible and could almost be impossible to detect. They can attach any surface with their suction cups, and faze through anything. The only reason, he hadn’t wanted to use them for the mission, was that the other gods did not know he could bring forth the armies of the dead. “So, this is the ruler of the new nation,” Pathos stated with a worried. He had never seen a mortal being with so much magic. In fact, he was starting to doubt that discord adversary was mortal at all. What was even more frightening, was that he was not clearly the maker of the magical field. Which meant there was more like him. “Discord. I can only hope, you know what you have gotten yourself into,” Pathos muttered, as he continued to watch the scene before him. Pathos knew that, if Discord where to lose this fight against his opponent. The very likelihood of Pathos’ divine rule was at stake. Pathos would, ironically, have to restore order.
