Discord is a very intriguing character. His personality. His appearance. His actions. His history. Very intriguing to see the path that he has gone down over the years. Millennia I should say. And what he does now.

His origins are not quite known by anyone really. What happened to him at a young age, how his species died, all that. It's quite a mystery, that so few have decided to question or consider. Kinda sad really. The principals, what happened, completely unknown to everyone. And maybe even to himself. He may not even know, forgetting what happened in the past. His species were before the time of her lands and when her parents were even born. He is older than I think everyone on the planet, except for a few.  But consider it is him, I highly doubt that. His origins and his species perishing are all rumours, really.

There are two leading theories of what happened to his entire species, or what was left of them at the time. The first being they died out for mysterious reasons. Unsure by who, or by what. It could be possible that the Ancients lived on this planet around that time. They have maybe raged an all-out war against each other, and both died out due to this reason. This has been consider in the past as a leading theory, back when some people still cared or even recognised the ancients, and even knew what they were. While the other theory was considered too unrealistic to their own minds, so everyone scrapped the theory as being too 'wild' and 'imaginative', even if we live in a place where magick, of all things exist. And lightly mechanical technology.

This other theory was that his own species, the Draconeqi (a sub-species of Chimera as I prefer to call them), had teleported to another world, or another dimension, for untold reasons. Possibly due to the threat of war or the looming uncertainly that their own race will be wiped out by other reasons, and there were few left. It's a interesting concept that I've decided to accept, even with little evidence to the contrary. Reasons being the fact that Discord has near-power to bend the world as he sees it. A reason which has brought up multiple excuses to her own reign as ruler of her land. I believe this to be true to an extent. With the magic and power that he has acquired, somehow in some fashion that I am not aware of (nor maybe anyone else, journal), I'm not surprise that he used to rule the lands that she now rules, yet somehow lost to her in a battle. After he, of course, perished for a millennia, where it was around the time that she was exiled from the lands (a sad tale that I don't have the time to discuss journal, at least not yet). How he lost to her is a little surprising, giving us an insight of how powerful the Elements really are when used properly. When used properly. To my knowledge journal, they haven't been misused in anyway, or the Tree of Harmony would have something to say about it. And I would be notified in a manner that I wish not to discuss, journal!

Yes, this theory is what I believe in. Yet others seem to discard the possibility entirely, which confuses me strangely, how they aren't open to certain ideas. Like her, some people in the world reject certain lifestyles and cultures of others, even citing racial hatred against one another. I assume this is one of the likeliest ways that the Gasconeigh Kingdom fell under the old Prench control, but that was quite awhile ago.

Anyways, getting back to the subject of this self-proclaimed 'God of Chaos', Discord has an intriguing personality, of which I'm conflicted on. And I refuse to delve further into. The fact that he calls himself a 'God', or a Deity if he has already, is simply not true. I highly doubt that he is truly powerful enough to act as a God. He has powers, which is quite factual, but he isn't that strong as Deity beings. I'm not aware of any God-like beings on this planet, or in the universe. They maybe one out there, still alive and whatnot, but it hasn't been proven. Yet. if he is truly a god, then it wouldn't make sense that he lost to a mortal (if magic can be categorized as 'mortal') with powers that were strongest than him. Several times, in fact (maybe only twice to my knowledge) and I wouldn't be surprised if he is captured again.

He was defeated a millennia ago, if I haven't already stated this above, journal. Keep up with me! Yes, by her of all people. Or at the time, both of them. Her success didn't last, as she quite harshly found up suddenly and very unexpectedly. Dark magick can do that to you, journal. Just be careful that you aren't infected as well. And he was imprisoned for a long time by her. For about twenty years, breaking out and escaping from her clutches. Very lucky that he even broke out in the first place. I don't know the specifics of what happened back then. I wish I was there. But he was imprisoned again soon after that, maybe three months. It was rumoured that he tried to live among the Griffins, but her 'Guard' eventually found him, back when their 'Guard' wasn't as incompetent as they are now. Quite foolish, really.

He could have broken out a few more times after that (where I may not be aware of), but yet journal he remained encased in his stone imprisonment, for a very long time, almost as much as hers. And managed to escape only a few years prior to me writing with your journal. I assume due to the lack of magical power the barriers of his imprisonment could hold him, or decided to attack where she would be entirely caught off-guard. Oddly choosing this time now after the Elements were found, which is very confusing if this was true.

And what makes him very intriguing, is the fact they he supposedly now 'reformed'. Journal I'm not exactly sure what happened, how this happened, or even why this happened, but this poses an even greater threat, as her land becomes stronger with a much stronger being, on their side. Luckily they don't have any intentions that include me, where I also doubt that she knows and maybe Discord knows if I still live today. Or at all. And this can benefit me, possibly greatly. But journal I wish not to write about that.

I'm not sure what he does at this time, or what he will do in the future. If Tartarus breaks loose from it's grasp (which is highly doubtful an event to every occur), then a certain someone may come back an attempt to take over the land, straight-on. And Discord may betray his own land that seems to have forgiven him (or at least claims to), and it maybe their own downfall. Lack of awareness of her part if this ever happens. And how funny that is. What may happened, and what will happen in this occurs. How I will laugh in the night at these thoughts. You don't need to laugh, journal. You don't even know a simple joke, being unable to even comprehend the meaning of a 'joke'. Be quiet.

What Discord is. He became the principle of Chaos, based on his species, on this planet. His personality and his actions seem to prove this. No other being on the planet that I'm not aware of is as powerful and with a colourful personality as him. I figure he received his name 'Discord', if he didn't have one before, is because he obeys no rules. He disrupts every pattern he touches. And he has fun in the process. This is what 'Discord' means in the national dictionary. Killing, if necessary. He has been identified as the Principle of Chaos and Disharmony. From who is unknown. Maybe from himself. Most possibly form his own species, from their own elders, or however their political system worked back millenniums ago. Or from others, naming him so. Maybe he had a name before his rise as the former ruler of her land.

Wonder what his life was when he was growing up. It may not even be comparable to mine. Intriguing.
