The Princess Under Chaos (Oc Story)

Mayhem was a young little filly. She ran around a nice green open area. A Dark black Alicorn followed her and was smiling. He had a nice yellow mane and Yellow eyes to match! The two of then looked like they were playing Tag and the black stallion was it. Mayhem tripped on a stone and went tumbling down the hill and stopped at the bottom. Laying on her back looking up at the sky she started laughing and smiled as she saw the black stallion leap off the hill and land near her. He turned and saw the laughing filly and started laughing himself. "You ok Mayhem?" He asked her as he helped her to sit up. "Yes daddy, I am fine!" Mayhem smiled as she looked up to who was her father. Suddenly the black stallion started to fade and half his body was a blurry look of a familiar face. Mayhem jumped back in shock and her eyes. Who was this and what did he do with her father. Somehow the blurry face seemed a little clearer to her. The face was Discord.

Suddenly Mayhem sat up in a fully coat of sweat. She was in her bedroom at the Castle, it was all a dream. More like a nightmare at that. Mayhem got out of bed and went to the window to open it up. The sun was just rising so she opened the curtains to her windows and went to open her door to greet Choco. "Mayhem, you look horrible, what happened?" Choco asked as he looked her over a bit. She sighed and shook her head. "I just woke up from a nightmare. I'm ok, it’s just a first." Mayhem smiled. She told Choco she was going to get ready for the day and be out here in a few minutes.

After Mayhem had said her goodbyes with Choco, she headed to the castle gardens. She loved how Celestia was nice enough to let her go outside, she just had to watch where she flew since she had to hide her horn for that. Mayhem stopped to sniff some roses and started laughing when a nice honey bee tickled her nose and flew away.

Cursor walked out of the castle looking for Mayhem since Choco said she was out here. He called out to her and looked around but couldn’t see her. He scratched his head and then slowly spotted a flowing black mane in the distance. The sight was like a movie. When Cursor saw Mayhem, her mane was flowing in the wind, her wings half open, her eyes were shut and she had flower petals flowing around her. Cursor's heart skipped a beat and he stood in awe as his face turned red from the sight of Mayhem so beautiful in the flowers.

After a few minutes Mayhem noticed Cursor standing there a little out of it. She walked over to him and smiled as she tilted her head a bit. "Cursor, her cursor you ok?" After that he snapped out of it and then smiled at her. He tried to play off that he was staring at her and act like he just didn’t get enough sleep. "Sorry, was woken up earlier then expected this morning. I'm kind of out of it. But we must go to Celestia, she had to speak with you." Cursor smiled and motioned for Mayhem to walk and he would follow her. On the way there Cursor noticed no single particular cutie mark rested upon Mayhem's Flank. He didn’t want to question it since he knew she never had a chance to find herself since her entire childhood was either in the Everfree forest or in this castle.

When they arrived to Celestia's throne she sat there looking a little mad. Mayhem bowed at the steps then looked up a bit scared that she might be getting yelled at. Celestia's expression eased and she stepped down and then placed her wing over Mayhem's head. "It’s ok, I'm not that mad. Just a little angry, but it’s ok! I trust Twilight and her friends to keep our little secret about you from others." Celestia seemed very calm about the situation. Mayhem wanted to ask Celestia about her nightmare last night, but she wasn’t sure if she would have an answer. She would ask cursor for his advice but he doesn’t know about this. "Um, Celestia. Can I talk to you for a moment?" Mayhem asked she nodded towards Cursor. He smiled and walked outside the room. Celestia looked down to Mayhem with a slight look of concern. "What is it my dear?" Celestia asked. Mayhem looked up at the stained glass window where it had Twilight and her friends using their harmony stones on Discord. "Who exactly is Discord?" Mayhem asked as she turned around to see Celestia attempting to not answer that question. Mayhem pleaded with her eyes for an answer and Celestia gave in. "Discord is a draconequus, a creature made up of all sorts of animals in the world. He is also known as the lord of Chaos. Back before the problems of me and my sister we imprisoned him in stone to save Equestria from his chaotic wrath. But then He got out of that statue hold and continued. That’s when Twilight and her friends imprisoned him again. Recently he actually has been staying with Fluttershy as a reformation tactic and since then we haven’t had any problems from him. Why do you ask about him?" Celestia asked as she walked Mayhem through the room looking at the discord related windows. Mayhem bit her lip and then looked up at the glass with discord and the 6 ponies. "Well he kind of showed up in my dream last night. I was having a nice dream about my father, when suddenly half of my father’s body turned into discord. I don’t understand what it means." Mayhem looked up to Celestia and was a little scared. Celestia then walked off and up the stairs to her throne. "I am not sure how to answer that, Luna is probably the one you want to talk to about dream related stuff. I have never heard of Discord going through anyone's dreams before, and if so why you. He shouldn’t know about who you are right?" Celestia had to think about this a little bit. It was tough on her. She told Mayhem she would talk to Luna about it and once they have an answer they would tell her right away.

Mayhem and Cursor walked through the halls of the Castle together not speaking a word. Before they knew it the day was almost over. They didn’t really do much since Mayhem didn’t need to go to pony Ville nor could leave the Castle at all today. When Mayhem and Cursor made it back to her room Luna stood outside the door waiting. "Oh Luna, uh how can I help you?" Mayhem asked as she bowed slightly to Luna. "Celestia told me about your dream problem. I think I have a solution." Luna said as she stood there in her normal proud and tall stance. Cursor was confused since he didnt hear the conversation between Celestia and Mayhem. "I am going to visit your mind tonight to see if it happens again. If it does then we might have to go and talk to the source itself." Luna smiled a bit when she spoke. Mayhem liked to see Luna smile but this was not a situation to smile. Mayhem nodded and then they watched as Luna left them there in the hall. Cursor looked at Mayhem confused a bit. "Come let’s go and watch the moon rise out in the courtyard." Mayhem said and smiled slightly at Cursor.

Outside Mayhem sat on the grass and sighed. She still can’t get enough of the moon rising at night. Cursor sat next to her and half watched the moon and half watched Mayhem. Her face lighting up brought a big goofy smile across his face. "You know, I notice you don’t wear your helmet anymore. Good choice, you look better without it anyways." Mayhem slowly looked towards him at that last comment and smiled. Cursor's heart skipped a beat for a little bit and he understood why he was so happy to have this position. His face started to turn red as he saw her smile. "You know Cursor. I like having you as my guard, you’re so very nice and super sweet!" She was just inching him closer to just wanting to pounce on her and kiss her. He tried his best to restrain himself from doing that because he didn’t know if she liked him or not. He tried the old move of stretching his wings and placing one on her back. She either didn’t notice or didn’t mind.

"Hey there guys." A voice boomed through the courtyard and made both Mayhem and Cursor jump. Choco came walking up to them. Mayhem then smiled and stood up. Cursor took a few seconds and then stood up too following Mayhem and his brother out of the courtyard and towards the Castle doors. "Alright so I will see you in the morning Mayhem, brother." Cursor smiled and bowed to mayhem and nodded to his brother. The walk away was a little tough on Cursor because he really wanted to talk more to Mayhem and try to understand her more then he already knows. But duty calls and he had to end his shift.

After Cursor left Mayhem went into her room and said goodnight to Choco. "Oh by the way Mayhem, Princess Luna filled me in on your nightmare problem." Choco said as she slowly shut the door.

That night Mayhem's dream was sweet. She was in a small house. Inside was a lit fire place and the Black Stallion who is her father. Mayhem was a filly again and was covered in bruises and mud. When her father noticed her, he ran to her and looked her over. "What happened to you?" He asked as he pulled her into a hug. "Some of the kids at school beat me up." Mayhem said with sobs showing in her words. Tears fell down her little face as she looked up into her father’s yellow eyes. He rested his forehead against hers and then nodded up stairs. "Let’s go get you cleaned up ok baby." He smiled as they went to the bathroom and started to scrub all the dirt off and bandaged her bruises.

The two of them then played together in front of the fire and Mayhem curled up against her father and he held his wing over her body. She looked up to her father and smiled as he lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "You my wonderful daughter, are the most precious thing I have. Nothing is more important then you." He smiled and that’s when mayhem was least expecting the bad part to start. Again half of her father’s body turned into a blurry Discord. She screamed and backed up running into Luna. "Luna, what are you doing here?" Mayhem said. Luna had frozen Mayhem's dream and just stared into the eyes of the half horse half discord creature on the floor. "Funny, this is not the same discord as we see today. He looks like a younger version of Discord." Luna was really puzzled. She was not sure how to explain this one since this doesn’t seem like something discord would do. He doesn’t seem like the one to manipulate someone’s old memories and put himself like this. "Looks like we might have to talk to Discord himself. This doesn’t seem to be something he would normally do." Luna was still confused. She then disappeared and left Mayhem there still in her dream staring at the frozen half discord figure on the floor. She started to cry and worry about what could happen.
