Dreamless, the Children of Chaos
Freedom
“Freedom is not something given, freedom is something taken by force with your bare hooves. You can only grasp for it through the chaos of you mind and the bloody hell that you become embodied in.” -Passage from the Grimoire of Chaos
I have heard the same thing over and over and never understood until now… I felt the world around me breaking apart and crumbling, every part of my body from my muzzle to my wings and to my hind legs felt as though they were being ripped apart piece by piece without mercy. I almost wanted to turn back and return to that prison HE trapped me within, but my rage and fury that had been so lonely built had pushed me forward.
As my body emerged from the rift, I had felt it piece back together and return to its normal state. I was drenched within my own blood due to the journey from my prison cell back into the mortal realm, back into Equestria. Finally i have been freed, it's finally time to take my revenge… for my brothers and sisters, for blackjack… I had been locked within a different realm, a realm of chaos and distortion thats concept of time had seemed to be different then Equestrias. The only way I could tell this was by the look of the two sisters castle, which had fallen to ruins, and the wild and almost haunting Everfree forest around me.
Now free I was able to search for the one who trapped me there and kill him. But being simply a mare and nothing else I had to take care of myself and feed. It had been long since I could have something of Equestrian origin in my stomach. My mouth hung open, my teeth clear as day. I had in the front teeth meant to grind and chew on plants, but in the back I had sharp teeth like that of a wolves that could rip apart flesh. I was born cursed, or blessed depending on whom you asked, with these changes. My teeth and natural liking to meat wasn't the only thing wrong with me. As a Pegasus i shouldn't have the ability to use making, but since I’m a product of chaos i was able to freely control and emit flames from my body. You could say I’m a little hot headed.
I ignored the hunger, and I traveled out with rage in my eyes, and nothing was going to stop me. My cloak, covering my red fur and wings which had been adorned with iron coverings, ripped from my back as ran increasingly faster before I lifted off into the air. As my wings pushed me up I felt a freedom I had long since missed in my prison. With the wind at my disposal there was nothing hindering my travel to find him.
I look over the world below me, this once familiar sight had seemed foreign and new to me just like the day I first took flight and left the world behind. The everfree had grown wild and beautiful. Everything was so much different from what I had known. But this didn't discourage me in the least, instead it sparked a fire in my heart to free myself from the possibility of being trapped in there again, so I flew.
I flew for a good deal of time before it happened, before i knew where he was. Almost as a signal my eyes became blurred and my blood raced. I was hovering above a small cottage inside a tree with animals going about. I would have myself a feast once I was finished.
I softly descended and walked up to the door, the sound of ponies talking and somebody else that I knew very well, could be heard from outside. Using the blade on my wing I cut the door into pieces, the entrance now clear, and my captor in sight “I finally found you, Discord…”
My long, wild, white and silver striped mane hid my eyes and face from the three as i slowly walked in. “Pardon me, but I don’t believe we meet have we? Although the pleasures mine.” Discord responded while causing a top hat to appear and bowing. The purple Alicorn and yellow Pegasus both stepped forward “is there something we can help you with?” the Alicorn one said before the Pegasus timidly followed. “If there's something you need we could try and help…”
I ignored both of them and walked towards Discord silently. I only decided to respond when I was close enough to touch him “this isn’t the first time we’ve meet, dad…” In a blink of an eye I had already drawn the red dagger from under my wing and went for a cutting motion towards his neck, but he had moved away fast enough to dodge. “Dad? now that's something I haven't heard in a long time!” I gave no time for anyone to say anything as i went forward to try and connect with his throat, this time he teleported behind the yellow Pegasus. I turned, swinging my wing along with my body towards them; I didn’t care who they were because if anybody got in my way I would kill them too.
I know my blade had connected to something, but where the Pegasus had stood was now a log of would cut into multiple pieces. “Stop running father! I will have my revenge, for every one of my brothers and sisters you killed!.” Again i wasted no time going for another swing, but I had been too late. My body had been enveloped by a purple aura and I couldn’t move; I looked towards the Alicorn as her horn glowed and my rage burned even hotter. “DON'T YOU INTERFERE WITH MY VENGEANCE!” My body began to burn and flames surrounded me in a raging blaze. If she wouldn’t let me go, then I would burn everything to ashes.
She fought back with all her strength, and she won. My body became weak and I could no longer continue without the risk of killing myself in the process. The flame died and my body went numb. After a minute she had let me down, and then the three of them walked over to me as I tried to lift myself from the ground. “Now that you have calmed down, I do believe proper introductions are in order.” The Alicorn looked over me with an almost calming smile, she reminded me of somebody dear to me and I couldn’t help but relax. “My names Twilight Sparkle, this is Fluttershy.” She pointed over to the yellow Pegasus. “And from what I can tell you already seem to know discord.” I looked over to him as he sat there sipping tea, if I could move my dagger would already be gorged in between his eyes. Looking at him made me want to kill him even more. But twilight had caught my attention by speaking up again.
“Now that you know who we are, mind telling us your name?” I only gave her a cold shoulder and responded with some hateful intention “the names Tempest Blaze, now if you wouldn’t mind my dagger needs to be sheathed in that monster's heart.” Twilight responded by moving the dagger and wing blades away from me with. She walked forward a bit more and in a more aggressive voice began to talk again “now if you wouldn’t mind, would you care to tell us why you are here?” “It's a long story, sure you want to hear it?” I smirked back at her and she nodded in response “yes.” I got myself in a more comfortable position and looked at them. “Well then, have you ever heard of the Dreamless?”
