Brother Rivalry

"Oh Discord! Why don't you go to the library and do some reading instead of lazing around for a change? It will do you some good. Oh what a bother Celestia is! Always nagging about what I do with valuable time as a powerful Spirit. Yet here I am, slaving away reading dusty, crummy, torn, excuses for books." Discord said sitting next to a bookshelf in the bottom level of the canterlot archives.

"I mean who is she to tell me what to do? Just because she's the princess of the sun? Ha! I remember when there being a ruler 10x as more regal and powerful as her. Oh what was his name again?"

Discord put his hands to his forehead trying to remember the name.

"Uh, umm, come on, come on! (phew) No good. Darn it!" The chaos spirit yelled hitting the bookshelf.

A single book fell out and hit him on his head.

"Ow! Why you little-! Hang on a sec, what is this?"

The book the spirit had in his hand was a large tattered, brown one covered and symbols and pictures. The penmanship of the writing wasn't like the other books. In fact it didn't seemed to be written in equish at all. On the center of the book cover was an image of the sun and the moon together.

"Oh great. Another book about Celestia and Luna's great achievements over the centuries. No doubt another snooze fest for me."

Discord opened the book and began to read it. Well, try would better word. The writing inside even was more obscured than the cover itself like it was written by infants.

"Why I am wasting my valuable time with simple nonsense like this?" He said tossing the book aside.

The book flew threw the air and landed on the ground opening to the very last page. A small voice yelped.

"Hmm? What was that?" Discord asked looking around.

"That was me." The voice answered.

"Who? Is there anypony here?"

"I am here. But I'm not sure you would consider me a pony."

"Well why are you hiding? Come on out. I don't bite."

"I'm not hiding. And please don't talk to me like I'm an infant. I one of the oldest things here."

Discord turned around to face the book.

"Don't tell me. Your the book."

An old, withered  face formed out of the final pages of the book. It spoke in a calm but raspy voice.

"Trapped more like. But this isn't about me, It's about those princesses bossing you around like they're your mother. Correct?"

"Well."

"And were you not talking about you wish to be a free sprit again?"

"Yes I was, but-"

"But?"

"But if you are planning on ending I won't no part in it."

"Oh no! I wouldn't dream of something as cruel as that. Mainly because I can't sleep but that's besides the point."

"What are you suggesting then?"

"I also overheard you talking about the being that there was a being far more powerful then Celestia."

"Right! Her father, what was his name again? It began with a ....... "C" I think."

"No, no, no. I'm thinking about someone stronger than the royal family. Two of them actually."

"Really? But who?"

"The two ponies that ruled the land long ago when the princesses' ancestors ere still in diapers and was far more superior than any other god you can think of. The original owners of the great sun and the mighty moon: Lord Hyperion and Sir Atlas. "

"You mean the fabled Titians! I thought they were myths made by old pony folk in the days of yore."

"I assure you they are no myths. They are as real as you, me, and the kingdom we now walk through."

"Okay. But tell me this: How do we bring them here?"

"Leave that problem to me my dear friend. Just leave it to me."
