The Hatchling
Everypony thinks Discord died in the war, and then a strange egg is found at Sweet Apple Acres. What if he's going to be reborn? Will he be welcomed back, or will ponies fear his return? And who in their right mind would want to adopt him anyway?
Discord died saving Twilight Sparkle and in the process all of Equestria. Or that's what everypony thinks, until a strange egg is found at Sweet Apple Acres, and Princess Celestia says it's the egg of Discord reborn. As the Element Bearers prepare for his return, some ponies remember Discord's darker days. Forces long dormant awake, wishing the return of the rule of chaos, while others, equally old and secret, will stop at nothing to prevent Discord's rebirth! And then there's just one more thorny little question. Who in their right mind would want to adopt him anyway?
