I fell over panting as everything around me had darkened to the point where I was having trouble seeing. It had been nearly a whole day and night of constant training, and Fancy had said this was only the beginning for me. I took this chance to catch everything, my breath, my heart, and more time to count the times I threw up my lunch and dinner. It was plain to say that my whole body was aching.

I saw him stand over me, a frown on his face that much reminded me of my father's constant disappointment towards me. His horn glowed and I felt a cold rag hit my forehead. I felt my whole body being raised in a cyan magic, and he carried me over to a soft cot laying in the grass off to the side of the track. Deep down I was wondering what he was doing and why, but I was still trying to catch my breath.

"Open your mouth." He said. I did as I was told and felt a warm liquid touch my toung. "You did good for your first day. As a human, did you ever work out?" I nodded, but wasn't able to give him more of an answer other than that nod. "I guess that's why you're still awake, or is it something else? Open."

I swallowed down more of the red liquid. "You must still feel bad for yelling at Luna, but do not let your anger kill you. During my years, I had lost quite a few good stallions because they got mad." He laughed, and put another spoon full of the liquid to my open mouth. "Thank you..."

Fancy smiled. "So I feel like I need to ask you a question Angel. I heard you shouting at the prince. While he is a tool, I would like to know why you hate the rest of the nobles?"

"Nobility is full of lies and deceit. They construct laws that pull them to the sky while they push the lower classes to the ground like they're nothing but common animals."

Fancy scratched his chin while he fed me another spoon full. "I can see where you are coming from. I didn't want you to hate me from our first meeting. Not many ponies hate me, but I wanted to be safe. When you get to my age, you learn what to say first, and think later." He laughed and shook his head. "Or perhaps you can stop judging ponies by their covers...?"

I sighed, finally able to catch my breath. It was weird that I had recovered so quickly, because while I was a human, I had trouble recovering as fast as other people. I guess different bodies came with different biologies. "I could...Perhaps I am becoming too single minded..."

"On Luna, or yourself?"

"Luna, she is all I care about." I answered, finally catching my words. "But...I need to think about others...don't I?"

Fancy smiled with a nod. "Indeed. So tell me why you are so single minded?"

"I don't think I have an answer for that..."

"That's not good. Surely you have a reason. What's the first thing that you can think of that comes close to an answer?"

"Luna saved me." I answered after a little thought. "No pony else has done something to earn my respect."

"Ah ha!" He exclaimed. "You are just as selfish as the very nobles you despise."

"N-..." I paused. "No...you're right...I am."

"What has caused you to think that ponies need to earn your respect?" I cannot answer him. It had just been something that's been apart of me for so long, I can't even remember where I got the idea from. "See? Even I see that there are many changes that are needed to be made. Let it be your first that you give respect to those who deserve it for no other reason but you not even knowing them. Respect them until they give you a reason to not respect them."

Was this really who I was? Was I so caught up in my own world, own beliefs that I had wronged those who were right? Fancy Pants, what wisdom lays beneath you for you to cause a man to rethink his world? Such words of power that are hidden behind waves of kindness, and purity...

"I will not change my mind on Blue Blood. He disgusts me."

"As he disgusts others and I." He laughed. "I am glad you learned. I didn't need to use magic this time."

"What do you mean?"

He shook his head. "There are many questions in this world, many you may have for me, but that is one that I cannot answer."

I nod. "I understand."

"Ah, good. Now, perhaps you should find your lover. She may have questions, and you also need to apologize for yelling at her." He helps me up and I stretch out my body.

He takes his leave once he sees that I can walk. I am tired, but a new fire has began to burn deep within me keep my steps slow. There are many things I am left to wonder about. I have changed, even if it was only a little bit, but there was change. I have come to realize that, as a warrior and a former human, that I've hated things that deserved none.

When I was little, I had always had a hard time giving respect to even my eldest of elders. My grandparents didn't like how I wanted to move with life, freely, by my own terms by any means. It had been a long time before I had moved to Equestria when they died, but I was given a peridot in their will. It was an one hundred carrot gem worth more than I could imagine, and weighed more than I thought was ten pounds. It was the largest gem found to date. And what made them worth more, they were the only birth stone that came from space.

Something didn't seem right however. There was a feeling in the air, once again I had felt a disturbance and turned around. There was no one around, but my magic was telling me something was not real. As I had walked through the castle I walked past the same vase more than six times. Something was wrong.

"Alright!" I shouted. "Who ever you are, come out now."

I heard laughter echo around me. "You didn't even say please."

That voice...It sounded like someone from..oh what was that show again? Star Wars, no...Star...Trav...NO! Star Trek! It sounded just like the actor John de Lancie as Qu! I loved watching that show when I was little. So much adventure and very well written. I wasn't a Treky but, I did talk to the man himself at a Comic Con once. "John?"

"The one- NO!" Suddenly a chimera flashed before me, an angry look across his face. "That's me in another universe! I should know! I am the Avatar of Chaos, the one-and only- DISCORD!"

"Doesn't ring a bell." I scratched my chin for a few moments, pretendeding to think about him. I haven't actually heard of there being an Avatar of Chaos. "How come I've never heard of you?"

Discord sighed. "Well it seems like Celestia and Luna keep me out of their history lessons... I am who I say I am. My name once again is Discord, Avatar of Chaos."

I bowed before him in respect. "I am Angel Caster, and I share no title other than Oath Keeper. Tell me, why have you visited me? Are you the cause of this feeling I've been having all day?"

He shrugged. "I suppose so, I mean I give that feeling to Twilight and Celly, but that's about it."

"Well, now you can add me to that list. Now, my question?"

Discord snapped his fingers and I found myself standing in the air, far above Canterlot. "Now that we're here, I'd like to ask a few questions human."

"I would have figured that the whole world knows I am by now. Now, tell me what do you want? I was on my way to see Luna."

"I wanted to know who you really are. Just by you being here has caused quite a bit of chaos."

"I left my old life behind for a brighter one. That's all there is to it."

Discord gave him a smug grin. "I like how you dealt with Princy. I must say, his wives are whores."

Angel snorted and laughed. "Aye! It was damn well good!" He didn't know why, but his accent slipped out to it's fullest. He covered his mouth a laughed a little. "So...You do sound like John."

Discord shrugged. "What can I say, I have the voice of an angel."

Angel shook his head. "Sorry Discord, Morgan Freeman has that, and he played God, twice."

"Could you take him seriously if he was me?" Discord asked, using Morgan Freeman's voice.

"Only if he was using helium while he tried to explain science."

Discord laughed and bent back. "I don't know why I haven't found you before! You're simply amazing! Are all human's like you?"

I shook my head with a smug look on my face. "Why do you think Luna picked me?"

He waved his paw and chuckled. "Pride if I ever saw it. So, would you like to make a little game?"

"What are the rules and what are the rewards for winning?"

"You see, there's a pony who's been getting in my way, and I'm sure that you'd like for her to get her just desserts for not believing in you."

"Celestia? What about her?" I asked.

"I want you to buck her until she passes out, then keep bucking her. When she wakes up, she needs to have a kink in her walk. If you win and succeed Angel, I'll give you a special band that allows you to turn into a human whenever you'd like, and of course you'd be able to turn back."

"Why do you want me to buck her? Why not you?"

"Because she like's you, and HATES me. So...." He held out his paw. "Do we have a deal?"

Luna won't like this, but...she did say I could fuck her sister... I took his paw and shook it. "Deal."

Author's Note

Short chapter this time. Felt like a little explaining and setting up another ARC takes a little time. This and next chapters are just intermissions.
