        She choked, rubbing her eyes -- the crying ceased, Discord broke into tears, he buried his face in her fur and sobbed, Discord exclaimed, throwing up his paw and claw in exasperation, throwing up his/her hooves in exasperation

He gazed up at her and reached out his claw. She held it as she allowed him to caress her face and wipe away her tears.

Covering her face, she rushed to her bed and sobbed. In the distance, she could hear Discord roaring like a wounded animal.

Woolly's Critique

Actually I think you've improved a lot! This story has some really original ideas I've not seen before.

Some things I noticed though. A few misspellings: The plural should be spelt "draconequui" and the singular is "draconequus".

Also a suggestion: the chocolate milk and candy cotton clouds thing is something a lot of authors mention and it's kind of overdone, especially since Discord is a creature of unpredictability. Maybe change it to different smells and sights? :)

Is there a reason Discord's father got angry when little Discord said he wanted to be the Lord of Chaos? I'm asking because it seems like all the draconequui have really disharmonious names. Maybe if they were called something that was the opposite of chaotic and disharmonic?

Lastly, there's a lot of "tell" instead of "show." For example, this line:

However, something was different: He wasn't alive, he was dead.

Rather than telling the reader straight away that Discord is now dead, describe his confusion more, and how Fluttershy and Screwball can't see him. Maybe have Fluttershy say at the end of it: "I...I think he's dead!" Or something like that. Also an introduction to Screwball might be good, as readers might not know she's their daughter right away.

But on the whole, I think it's very original and intriguing! And I want to know more about the mare and the villians. There are a few grammatical errors here and there, but that's nothing that can't be fixed with a proofreader or editor. x

Hope this helps!
