... and I'll have you know that I would prefer not to speak of that inconvenience! Do you know how hard it is to know that your sister would banish you for wanting affection?! Her affection! So how dare a peasant like you, DiscordFan, question me of my tragedies! And not only that! You-!

Oh, um, ~ahem~. You caught me at a bad time, dear reader. This spoiled, little brat known as DiscordFan demanded that I tell her of my experiences with the Elements of Harmony! Who does that!? Especially to a princess!

I-I'm sorry. I'm letting my anger getting the best of me. Please, let me begin the introduction.

Hello, curious reader! You are listening to I, Princess Luna! But, um, in my current physical form, you would refer to me as Nightmare Moon. Before I speak of the Elements of Harmony, I'll have you know that Luna and Nightmare Moon are one in the same! Nightmare Moon is Luna as Luna is Nightmare Moon.

Okay. Now that I got that out of my system, I suppose I must begin my story.

The first time I was hit by the Elements of Harmony, I had finally gone under metamorphosis and became Nightmare Moon. But in order for my metamorphosis to occur, the moon needed to be placed in front of the sun. It was not for eternal night, but for me to mature. Without metamorphosis, alicorns couldn't grow.

Though I must explain further on this metamorphosis, shouldn't I?

Alicorns have the ability to go under metamorphosis when they can exceptionally wield their powers and are ready to mature. Celestia had gone under metamorphosis a while ago, and that is why her hair use to be pink. When going under metamorphosis, one may choose their new appearance. Celestia made minor changes.

I, however, gave myself sharp teeth for I had an addiction to gems. I gave my wings a much more majestic quality. I made my coat black as night, and my mane and tail became similar to nebulas. My eyes became dragon-like for I wanted them to be more adapted to the dark. Lastly, I warped my birth mark to be purple instead of black because it's rather difficult to see black on black!

Anyway... Before I had gone under metamorphosis, I felt rather neglected and unloved. Celestia didn't even have time for me anymore... ~sniffles~ B-but she also took the affection I deserved. Our subjects praised for both day and night! Surely you must understand my frustration.

Once Celestia saw my new appearance, she viewed me as a threat. I don't know why. I was still LunaAfter our short battle in the sky, she equipped herself with the Elements of Harmony and banished me to the moon.

Now, the Elements reflect the subject's heart, obey the user's wishes, or do the best to keep harmony.

For my first experience with them, they obeyed the user's wishes. To keep me safe, but to keep me away from ponies. Because of the vagueness, the Elements of Harmony banished me to the moon. You know, that big space rock that was part of my SOUL!!

Forgive me, reader. Emotions are powerful. Especially when you're thinking of painful memories.

The second time with the Elements, they obeyed the former user's wishes: to 'purify' me into my normal, weak self.

I... I had never felt so frail until that moment. Celestia stood over me; she stood menacingly and regally.

And she asked me to forgive her...

I... Just... What?!

Forgive? Forgive!? Forgive!!!

She should be apologizing for ignoring me. For overshadowing me! For being the worst sister ever!!

I'm not sure about you, but I think I'm fantastic at improv. What about you? I mean, come on! I pretended to forgive her and be happy to see her! You have to admit that's impressive.

... tell of my experiences? Why? You're just a silly human! You have no right to make me tell of my experiences with the Elements of Harmony.

I don't care that my name is in your username, DiscordFan. Do you know how stupid and pathetic that reasoning was? It was pretty bad.

Hmm... A three-way? That would make a nice fanfic, wouldn't it? How do I know you'll keep your word?

What does being the lord of chaos have to do with any of this?!

Okay, okay! Fine! But only because trust Pinkie will find you if you break that Pinkie Promise.

~sigh~ Hello, little humans beneath me. It's me, Discord! Everyone's favorite reformed villain!

What do you mean I'm not everyone's favorite!? You know what? Let me do the story first!

Yeesh! Woman! Am I right, boys?

Anyway! First time with the Elements of Harmony, they were making my being reflect my heart. Second time around, it was the bearers' wishes.

Oh, come on!? Do I have to?!

~grumbles~ Fine... Only because that three-way sounds fun...

~sighs~ My heart was as cold and hard as stone before I met Fluttershy. The Elements turned my being to stone to reflect my heart.

I knew no love or affection or any emotion. I knew only chaos. I never knew my parents. I was rejected by all creatures. I was never satisfied, even after creating a few companions: chimera, hydra, manticore, griffin, minotour. The works. Society wouldn't accept me. I was too different. And no one wants a different creature in their society. ~sigh~ I've never felt love before Fluttershy. She's an angel.

Then, Twilight and her friends wanted me to turn back to stone, so Equestria would be safe again. They believed I was corrupting harmony. Silly ponies, I was corrupting order. Harmony is balance. I was restoring harmony.

No, I'm serious! Chaos is the opposite of order, not harmony. Chaos is part of harmony.

Am I done now?

~sigh of relief~ Thank, Celestia! Buh-bye, pathetic humans! I expect a three-way soon, DiscordFan.

What do you mean you did crossies?! Grraahhh!!!!

~snap, BA-FWOO!!~

Author's Note

I kinda made up some lyrics before writing this. They don't really have a tune, but, if you find or know something fitting, feel free to comment the title of the song!

Bonus ~~~ Lyrics

Discord~~

With a heart as cold as stone, I now sit here and wait

To release a world of chaos,

To leave those trembling in my wake!

When I was young and unknowing,

I wanted to have fun!

I wanted to make friends,

To be like everyone.

But there was no way

That could be,

For I was too different from them all

To be part of society!

Chorus~~ {Nightmare Moon and Discord}

We thought we knew love,

Or at least, we thought we would.

But then we were neglected by all!

Well, we won't accept that,

For we deserve love, too.

Then instead of receiving what we deserve,

We were told that we were wrong.

And suddenly, she hit us

With the Elements of Harmony!

We were hit, hit, hit, hit, hit.

Oh, we were hit, hit, hit, hit.

Nightmare Moon~~

With jealousy raging within,

I stood in shadows of one

That said she loved me,

But neglected my all.

When I was young and unknowing,

She said she loved me,

Would stay there by my side,

Protecting me.

But then she overshadowed me,

And I was neglected

By her and my subjects.

I heard no praise for me,

Or the work I did!

Chorus~~

Both~~

We rose in rebellion

Against those we wanted love from,

And we knew we'd never get what we want,

For the world is unkind!

When we were young and unknowing,

We needed affection,

Affection we would not get.

But know we know not trust!

But then the world ignored us,

More so than the norm.

We never felt so lonely,

'Til that very morn...

Chorus~~

We were hit...
