As they dodge the ruble of the Explosion, Princess Celestia got up and said, "What did you do?"

"What did I do? Don't you mean, what did you do?" the evil Centipede stated back,

Princess Luna look at Princess Celestia and stated, "Sister, what is he talking about?"

"What am I talking about dear Luna is the Insidious Evil Creatures you two fell in love with, for instants, Princess Celestia and a Draconequus named Discord." Redsting stated with an evil grin.

"Is this true sister,"

"Yes it is true,"

"I met him three years ago. He was a kind gentle soul that just wanted to throw parties for everypony he met.”

As Princess Celestia walk through the castle, its grand marble walls had seen many crowds, she could not help but notice how empty the castle was today though, “those two, Luna and Rex, seem to be dodging me lately, ever since the War ended and Sir Rex Umbra, was knighted,” Celestia stated as she look outside seeing the courtyard empty.

Just then one of her personnel guard walk up to her and stated, “Princess Celestia there has been large amount of unusual pranks going on in the villages near the Evergreen forest.”

“What kind of pranks?”

“Well, Laughing Trees, Rolling Stones, Barking Ducks, Float Buildings, and Chocolate Rain.”

“Chocolate Rain that sounds like fun, show me on the map where it is going on, and I will go check it out”

As she look on the map, she noticed at the center of the incidents was Starswirl’s old cottage. “Could Starswirl be……. No it can’t be him, he died before the war,” she whispered to herself. Then she left the castle, the guard notice Sir Redsting Blacklist, the red Centipede had entered the hallway,

“Where is Princess Celestia flying off to” Sir Redsting asked the guard.

“She has gone to check a group of incidents that happen near the Evergreen Forest,”

“And what about Princess Luna, is she sparring with Rex again”

“No Sir Rex Umbra and Princess Luna haven’t been seen hardly at all since Sir Rex was knighted,”

“Hmm, send a Message to King Emerald Teal the Duke, of the Crystal Empire, tell him to meet me in the usual place in five weeks’ time.

When Princess Celestia arrived at the first village, she walked through the village she notice a yellow brick road that suddenly appear out of nowhere so she decided to follow it. As she went down the road she met some creatures that wanted to join on her journey down this yellow brick road, a talking scarecrow, a tin pony, and a lion, all of them want to see the wizard at the end of the road. Princess Celestia had some fun adventures, and then she realized the she was living through in the Wizard of Odd Pony story. She decided to play along hoping that she would find out who was pulling the string to this story.

It was at the end of the road the she saw a floating cottage, it was Starswirl’s Cottage, she stated, “What is going on here? What are you doing to Starswirl’s Cottage?”

“I demand you get out here now”

“What, I thought you were enjoying my stories”

“Not when it involves spinning the old home of somepony I once adored, now show yourself.”

“Oh fine!” As the Cottage was sat down, a draconequus walked out.

“Who are you” the Princess stated to him.

“My name is Discord, and you are Princess Celestia, you’re as lovely as they described you were,”

“Why that nice for you to say, but I still want to know what are you doing in this place”

“What you don’t like my story.”

“No it’s not that, I like story it is actually one my favorites, just want to what you were doing in Starswirl’s home”

“Starswirl’s home, this is my home I been here for centuries”

“What do you mean? Starswirl the Bearded lived here for centuries and trained many of Equestria’s best wizards and none of them ever mention a Draconequus living with him”

“Because……… there wasn’t………….. there was just Starswirl”

Discord stop talking before he could finish. Celestia wondered why he didn’t finish. “Discord I really did have fun playing through that the story, in fact it was so fun that I am going to come back next week for another story”

“You will?!”,

“Yes I will, be ready by next week,” Celestia stated as she flew away. Discord was so happy, that the most beautiful Alicorn he had ever seen, wanted to spend time with him.

Every week she come to visit him, and either live through her favorite stories, play games, or pull pranks on each other. It was fun, although her true intent at the time was to find out who he really was. But as time went on she began not to care who he really was. And slowly she was falling in love with him, but was too scared to tell him.

Five weeks past, and King Emerald Teal, the brother of the now died King Helios Quarts, arrive at the Pure Raza’s Tavern, the place was an old bar that had been refurbished into a secret meeting place for the most racist of Purity believers. Once there King Emerald Teal he sat down and had an ice cold cider, just then Sir Redsting Blacklist, walked in, as all the ponies that he walk past, the stallions saluting him, and the mares bowed to him like he was a god to them all. Although out in public the Purity believer were seen as a simple religious movement, but in private they were more like a Cult, King Emerald Teal as their general, and Sir Redsting Blacklist as their true king. He sat down across from King Emerald Teal. In public, King Emerald Teal seen as a good, strong king, but in private he was a fearful king, who fearing for his own life, and a prophecy that stated he would one day be killed by a Hybrid.

An hour past, they begin to discuss what had happening in Canterlot and the Crystal Empire.

“How are things going in the Crystal Empire?”

“Perfectly, the Purity believes has spread like wildfire, in fact my oldest son Blood Diamond has been reportedly beating hybrids to near death, and of course the reports always go unconfirmed publicly,”

“The only one I am worried about is my youngest son Golden William, the Idealist, who thinks love should shine the right path. He has even token a pink pegasus as his wife, they now live together near Griffinstone.”

“How pitifully someponies can be, that why I have call you here for, you see it seem that Princess Luna and Princess Celestia have fallen in love with two impure creatures.”

“Are you sure,”

“Yes, Originally I called for you because I was worried about Luna falling for Rex, but as time went on I noticed that Celestia has been leaving the castle a lot more laterly, and my informants tell me it is to see a draconequus named Discord.”

“It seem my nieces have fallen quite far from the tree,”

“Indeed, we need to take drastic measures to ensure that Canterlot does not fall into impure evil hoofs,”

“But not right away, we shall wait for the proper time to strike. In two years we make are move, and take over Canterlot.”
