The Princess Under Chaos (Oc Story)

It was a tough day for Mayhem. She was to learn a little Alicorn magic with Celestia today. Cursor told her she had to meet her in the Castle Library. She slowly walked down the hall past the stained glass windows that told the tale of Equestria. She looked up at each one smiling and admiring them. Cursor smiled at her face and enjoyed her smiling face and how happy she was. When they passed the ones that had to deal with Discord, something seemed different. The eyes on all the stained glass windows that had discord on them moved and followed Mayhem as she walked. At first she didn’t notice it but once they got to the one of Celestia and Luna turning Discord into stone she saw the eyes slowly move. She shook her head and then looked up as the eyes went back to normal. “Did, did you see that?” Mayhem asked Cursor. He looked up and then shook his head as he looked back at Mayhem. “I didn’t see anything, what is it? Is there a crack in the glass?” He was as confused as she was. Before leaving the hall Mayhem took one more look up at the stained glass into the eyes of the image of Discord.

After making it to the library, she saw Celestia standing there at a table with a few books on top of it. At first Celestia didn’t notice Mayhem walk in but when Mayhem accidentally kicked a book Celestia’s head shot up as if someone caught her doing something she wasn’t supposed to. She closed the book she was looking at and smiled. “Welcome Mayhem, ready for some Alicorn Magic training?” Celestia smiled and pointed to the seat on the other side of the table she sat at. Mayhem looks at Cursor and he lightly nods and stands at the door. Mayhem goes to sit across from celestia and got started on reading. “First we will learn control, then go into figuring out what your true alicorn magic is meant for!” Celestia pushed a book towards Mayhem and smiled. She didn’t understand what Celestia meant by ‘true Alicorn Magic’ and what hers was meant for.

The whole lesson went a little out of control. Mayhem was scared she couldn’t control her magic and then do something bad. She didn’t want to hurt anyone. Celestia seemed to act a little too kind to her, as if she was afraid of mayhem too. During the whole lesson Mayhem heard a faint voice in her head. It spoke words in a voice she recognized but couldn’t put a name to them. The words she heard sometimes broke her concentration causing her to mess up her magic or forget where she was in her book. When the lesson was over she saw a bright light over in a far side of the library. “Mayhem is everything alright?” Celestia asked concerned about the curious look upon mayhem’s face. She looked up to Celestia and nodded. “Yeah, I’m just going to grab a few books to take back to my room to read later tonight.” She smiled and walked back to the lit up area. In the back were books written from days back from thousands of years ago. She went down the line and read the spines. Stories about changelings, some about ancient animals that use to roam this land and then the last few books that caught her eye were about Discord. One in particular was glowing. She picked the book off the shelf looking it over. The cover was designed like Discords body. It read ‘History of Discord’ on it. Seemed to be one of those books that magically write itself as things happen in his life. Like an auto autobiography I guess you can call it. Mayhem placed it on the floor and read the words inside. It was quite a big book for the life of a very popular creature. But something in the beginning of this book seemed familiar. There was a photo of a Black stallion with a golden yellow mane in the front of the book. Cursor came around the corner and knocked on the side of the shelves. “Come on Mayhem, Your lesson is over we have to leave now.” He informed her. Mayhem closed the book and grabbed a few more of the Discord books off the shelf and followed him to the table where her saddle bag sat and she placed the books in her bag and on her back.

The one thing that was stuck in her mind all day was why was a photo of her father in a book about Discord. Do they have some kind of connection? She knew that she heard that Alicorns can live forever but if her father and Discord have some kind of connection then that means she might have some kind of connection to him in some way. She really had to read more into that book. Mayhem and Cursor walked down the main hall again and Mayhem couldn’t help but stare at the Discord stain glass windows again. She seemed to be interested in the subject of his character, for who he was and why he seemed to pop up in her life a lot since the first day she met him.

Cursor and Mayhem went outside into the Flower garden and sat together on the bench. Mayhem looked into the sky and saw where the Wonderbolts practiced. She watched as they all looped in the sky making random shaped and spelling out Wonderbolts in the air. Mayhem watch in awe as cursor watched her and her big smile as it formed across her face. He always loved to see her smile, it was like watching a child receive its favorite thing for the first time. Cursor slowly stretched his wing over Mayhem's back and looked up into the sky. She slightly flinched from the touch of his wing and looked over at him. The setting sun shined upon him and made him glow in a way that turned Mayhem's face a bright red.

After the Wonderbolts were done practicing Cursor looked down at Mayhem and smiled at her. A chuckle escaped his mouth as he noticed her red face. Mayhem looked away embarrassed and then looked back up to him through her mane. Cursor nuzzled her and chuckled a bit. A tiny giggle was heard from Mayhem and that put a big smile upon Cursors face. He then slowly moved in closing his eyes as his face got close to hers. Mayhem's heart started to race as she moved in closer to him. The moment their lips were an inch apart that is when Mayhem turned away and shook her head. "I... I can’t Cursor, I am so sorry." Mayhem whispered to him. Cursor looked at her slightly confused. He didn’t know if this was a good thing or bad. "What do you mean Mayhem?" He tilted his head and tried to look at her face. She looked up at the castle towards the room that Celestia resides in. She then looked down and away from cursor again. "If Celestia finds out about us then you could get in trouble, and I might never be able to see you again." She shook her head as she looked up into his eyes. She could tell he understood well because the gleam in his eyes showed that he cared deeply about her. He gave her one last nuzzle before they both got up and started to walk off back into the castle.

The rest of that night was slightly silent, Mayhem didn’t know the right words to say to him after what happened in the garden. She was scared of losing him and scared of what could happen if she had let him continue earlier. As Mayhem and Cursor walked down the hall towards her room, one of Celestia's guards came walking towards them. "Miss Mayhem, Celestia has sent me to come get you, she has some amazing news to tell you!" The guard smiled as he turned and gestured in the direction of the great hall. Mayhem started walking forward and Cursor followed behind her. The guard stopped Cursor for a second and gave him a look. Mayhem stopped and looked back. "What’s wrong?" Mayhem asked as she looked back at the guard who stopped cursor. "Celestia has requested that you stay outside the room when she speaks with Miss Mayhem." The guard stated and it made Mayhem slightly confused, but she never questioned Celestia's ways. It kind of made her wonder if Celestia happened to see what they did in the garden. She was slightly worried. The guard then continued down the hall and Mayhem followed her head slightly down low. Cursor followed after and slightly tried to read Mayhem's emotions.

When they got to the main hall the guard led Mayhem in through the door. Cursor nodded to her and smiled giving her a warm feeling in hopes this talk wasn’t going to be bad. Mayhem walks in and the door behind her was shut. "Welcome Mayhem!" Celestia greeted her making Mayhem turn her heard around quick. The smile upon Celestia's face was calming. Mayhem took a few steps forward and then bowed at the end of the steps up to her throne. "Oh no need to do that Mayhem." She giggled in her words and then went down the steps to stand next to Mayhem.

"See Mayhem, I have really good news!" Celestia had an upbeat tone and really did seem happy. Mayhem smiled and looked up into the eyes of her mentor and someone who was like a mother to her. Celestia smiled and took a few steps towards the stain glass windows. She walked up to the one that spoke about twilight’s transformation to princess. "So Luna and I have done some thinking and we would like to ask you of one thing." As Celestia spoke Luna walked into the great hall from her side of the back wall. Luna smiled and walked up to them and she nodded her head at both of them in a slight way to greet the both of them. "Have you told her yet?" Luna asked as she went to stand next to her sister. Celestia slightly shook her head and looked over to Luna. "I was just about to tell her." Celestia spoke with a calm tone that had a slight bit of cheer in it. Mayhem smiled and was a bit confused on the subject a bit. "Mayhem, you have been living with us for many years and we both have seen you grow from a cute little filly to a beautiful mare. We think it’s about time to announce you to the world at your own personal Alicorination!" Celestia tilted her head a bit smiling after she spoke. Luna nodded and then looked over to Mayhem for her reaction. A slight bit of shock grew over Mayhem's body and then she started to feel happy. "Me, an Alicorn princess. Is that even necessary?" Mayhem was really shocked but also very happy with herself. Celestia and Luna both nodded in agreement and smiled down at Mayhem. "We will plan the whole thing for you and all you have to do is continue your Alicorn magic studies for another few months. It won’t happen right away but it will surely happen soon." Celestia smiled and giggled at the light glow that formed across Mayhem's face. She was very excited that she could be allowed to go out into town without having to hide who she is and that she will actually be acknowledged as alive. Suddenly Luna took a few steps forward and had a very stern look on her face. "But tell no one of this alright. That is why your personal guard was asked to stay outside of the main hall so we could only let you know. We will announce it all at this year’s Grand Galloping Gala in only 3 months. Please don’t tell anyone of this alright." Luna spoke as if it was going to destroy the world if she told anyone, but Mayhem did what she was supposed to and nodded her head. She understood that if she was told it were to be kept a secret that she should do so. She was just slightly sad that she couldn’t tell Cursor.

After the talk about the whole Alicorination with Celestia and Luna, Mayhem left the main hall and joined up with Cursor again. "So ready to go back to your room?" Cursor asked with a smile. He didn’t really seem eager to know what went on in the room, he understood his bounders and didn’t bother asking. The two of them walked in silence back to Mayhem's room where they were slightly surprised to not see Choco outside of the room already. Cursor opened the door motioning for Mayhem to go inside. After them both walked inside Mayhem suddenly jumped onto Cursor hugging him and giggling. "I’ve been waiting all day to do that." She giggled through her words as her heart started to speed up. "It sucks that we have to hide how we feel about each other from everyone." Cursor smiled as he lifted her face and kissed her. Her face turned bright red and she smiled kissing him back. She felt bad for having to hide it all but she didn’t want him to get fired and she didn’t want to lose him at all. "Cursor, do you mind maybe... staying with me tonight?" She looked into his eyes and smiled nervously. She wasn’t sure what his answer was going to be but she didn’t want him to say no. Cursor smiled and nuzzled Mayhem as he led her to her bed. "Sure I will. Now get in bed." Cursor smiled as the two of them got in the bed. Mayhem smiled as she nuzzled up to Cursor resting her head into his neck as he laid his front leg over her side. "You are very warm Cursor." She giggled as cursor kissed her forehead and the two of them laid together and fell asleep.

Mayhem actually was really surprised to go to bed in an amazing mood. She had amazing news about her own Alicorination and she gets to spend the night with the one pony she truly loved! She hoped for the best to come soon!
