The King of Storms

Gods and Titans

A side story to

The Death of War

Discord

My name is Discord. I am sure your aware of that. All I was doing, is popping in to say hello to my favorite little orphan: But NOOOO, those fucking alicorns just had to ruin everything! So, back to the story.

I pulled out my two scythes, feeling the hum of magic inside of them. Varmix summoned her glaive, and Titanius had his sword. Sword's are SO old fashioned. And King Bellum? He doesn't even use a weapon! I thought he would learn from last time, when I whooped his sorry ass.

I summoned a hurricane of razor sharp knives, sending it to deal with the King. I lunged at Titanius and Varmix, the only real threats. I slashed, aiming to decapitate them. Varmix moved faster then even her predecessor, Ximarv could, stabbing me in the back with her Glaive. Titanius wasn't so lucky. His blade wouldn't be fast enough, so he had to duck. Which lead to the cutting off of his horn.

Chaos magic surged through me, it exploded out of me. Varmix was sent flying back, and I went in for the kill for Titanius. Both his wings were cut off, and an explosion of Chaos turned his bones into pebble sized fragments.

I turned back around just in the nick of time, as a glaive was about to go through my neck. I appeared behind Varmix; No flash of light, no sound. no whoosh. I was here, then I was there. I went for decapitation again, but King Bellum saved her life. He moved faster then any drakon I'd ever seen, and bit right into my shoulder.

I'm sure I would have howled in pain if it wasn't for chaos. It exploded through me, healing my bones and skin, and most of Bellum to mush. I left him in a state where he could barely get up.

The fight was over. Varmix was the only one standing.

"Tut, tut, tut. I thought you knew better then to attack me without Accord's help." I sighed. She lunged at me, her glaive glowing with the force to kill me. So I tugged.

Magic truly exploded out of me, it ran through my blood, through my body, through my soul. Every hole I had poured out energy, even my eyes. My body was converted into pure energy for a few seconds.

I wanted Varmix to be gone, to disappear. To simply be not. So when I tugged on my magic, she obeyed. Being an alicorn, she could reconstruct her body. But it would take years and years. Thousands possibly. Then she would have to reconstruct as her old form, and slowly grow to her current level of power. So all my threats were gone. Except the drakons.

Cages appeared on them, and then I fly-swatted King Bellum, putting an end to his life. I laughed madly, then a magical hum came from my right.

I turned my head, to see an army of gods looking at me. And eventually, an army of gods could overwhelm a Titan. I gulped in genuine fear. A wave of harmonic magic was sent at me. I infused my paw with all my chaos magic at my disposal, and hit the wave. I willed it to disappear. It did, but I was truly damaged.

My bones? Broken. My organs? Gone. Although I didn't have many. My flesh? Ripped from my fucking skeleton. (1) My magic? Nearly gone. All I had was a single scrap that I could only use to heal myself. My body was healed almost instantly, but that drained my magic to a mere trickle. The remaining wounds took time to heal.

All the gods were dead. I gasped internally. I had killed many gods, three at once. But an army? Unheard of. Even my master, Emperor Blarg didn't have that much power. And my power regenrated quickly. One of the drakons lunged at me, still standing. Hmmph. I stopped him mid-air. Although I actually had to try. He had my mark on him, which meant he wouldn't be easy to affect.

As a reward for the little guy being the only one standing, I granted him ONE favor. Then I turned him into a baseball and sent him all the way to Alicornia. I laughed as I remembered what Accord said all those years ago.

"DISCORD!" She had shouted. Her mane had been floating in the storm of chaos. Or maybe that was just her magic.

"YOU NO LONGER HAVE CONTROL OF THIS FOREST! YOUR INFLUENCE IS GONE! THE ENSLAVED FOREST IS NOW THE EVERFREE FOREST!" She continued. I was, for the first time in my life: horrified. I had felt fear before, but nothing like this. I knew she had the power to melt me, but she wouldn't.

So instead, she summoned those accursed elements. The elements of harmony, as she dubbed them. I had forgotten what they'd looked like, since it had been so long. She focused her immense power through them: her ethereal mane becoming a jungle of individual hairs. Her once huge form reduced to the size of a slightly taller then average mare. Then, those accursed elements turned me to stone. Petrified me.

But at that time, I was powerful. Not strong enough to fight Accord, but strong enough that my magic would be able to chip away at hers, even when petrified.

I looked at the Everfree forest. Chains of chaos magic wrapped around it. The forest had been enslaved once more.

"AND THUS, BEGINS THE DISCORDIAN ERA!
