The Meaning of Meaning

My name is Discord.

Then again, you probably know me already, so...

Whomever you may be, you must know who I really am.

I am Star-Swirl the Bearded.

Quite the shocker, hmm?

You most likely do not understand how I came to be...

And that is perfectly understandable.

I was born a unicorn, and excelled with magic at an early age. I became a wizard at the age of twenty-six.

I do not remember how, but one day an old tome came into my possession one day. It was... Odd.

It was a book of magic, magic even I could not fathom.

I read it daily, practicing spells unlike any I had used before.

They were easy to cast; I had no need to use my horn.

Soon enough, I began using the newly dubbed "chaos magic" for everything, and it was... Invigorating...

I soon began using more advanced spells, ones that would allow me to use my mind to bend reality on a whim.

I learned how to create and destroy anything with my magic.

I began experiencing... changes... I began to become something strange.

I started to enjoy my power...

I loved it.
