Load Full StoryNext Chapter

Discord sat still by the pond. It was dark and he was alone. He hated his new powers. All his powers did was drive ponies away, his own friends, Celestia and Luna, had chased him over hills, across deserts, and through caves. They wanted to hurt him because he couldn't control himself, but what choice did he have? The chase had led him to find a small swamp by a wealthy town, full of unicorns and earth ponies. He had nothing to do with his powers, nothing at all, nothing good anyway. So Discord decided to have some fun, he'd mess with the ponies of the neighboring town. So off he went out of his little cave and flew to the nearby village ready to wreak havoc among the unexpecting citizens.

Discord smiled his crooked, snaggletoothed smile. He rather enjoyed this. He had turned a pony's chicken coop upside down, letting all of it's contents spill out across the dirt floor. He had terrorized a pony who was walking outside at night with a lemon (Discord was lucky enough to find someone with acerbophobia.) Discord particularly enjoyed when he has switched the mane styles of a husband and wife, he could have watched that horrified expression over and over, and still he would have laughed. Ponies see nothing but a monster eh? Well, fine. I'll cause them pain and misery, and no one would be the wiser in this little town.
