The Changing paths of elements
Chapter 2:The Promise
Previous ChapterNext Chapter•All seven ponies reached the castle garden with Discord leading the way, he would set his cake cannon down and take a step back and get a running start leaping in the air to jump kick the doors open with a loud thud being heard from the doors being hit•
Young Sombra:"Did you really have to do that you know me, Celestia , Luna or star swirled or maybe even Delirium could of just opened the doors with our magic."
Young Discord:"It wouldn't have been any fun if you did that besides my entrance was better every entrance I do is always remembered."
•Sombra walked with the group levitating Discord as they all headed out side with him talking sarcastically about Discords comment•
Young Sombra:"The only hard part is trying to forget your entrance."
Young Discord:"Hey!"
Young Sombra:"Just hush and fire your cake cannon or streamer light saber or whatever so we can get this party going and so I can drop you so I don't have to keep levitating you cause this is way to far past the limit of how long I'd want to levitate you!"
Young Discord:"Sheesh fine but don't be so harsh otherwise I might just-
Young Sombra:"Andddd were ending this topic here."
•Discord gave a frown and pulled out his banner pistols and fired them at different places firing out different colored banners to decorate the area•
•Straight away Sombra dropped Discord with his magic like he said he would after Discord finished decorating and a small crash would be heard from the drop with Discord letting out a groan•
Young Discord:"Easy..I'm a delicate flower"
Young Sombra:"A flower? Are we really going into this discussion."
Young Discord:"Yes and It won't end till pigs fly."
•Sombra would already be walking off not hearing what Discord had said already bored of the conversation•
Young Discord:"Wait hey come back here Sombra I wasn't finished talking to you yet."
•Sombra yelled back not bothering to even look back at Discord•
Young Sombra:"Yes we are besides it wasn't going any where anyways."
•Discord frowned as he quieted down and followed Sombra to the group while firing his cake cannon all around•
Young Discord:"Ohh cakes for everyone!"
Young Chrysalis:"N-Not this again..ack!"
Young Luna:"DUCK IN COVER!!"
•Luna and Chrysalis ran for cover behind one of the trees in the garden to avoid Discords cake cannon attacks•
•Young Sombra ran charging towards Discord and stopped standing in a protective stance with his horn glowing a dark red•
Young Sombra:"I think that's enough Discord
We only needed one cake not a bucking cake war for crying out loud sheesh."
•Sombra levitated the cake cannon away from discords grasp and placed it by his side with a smirk appearing on his face•
Young Sombra:"But.. in all fairness for revenge this is payback!"
•Sombra fired the cake cannon back at Discord firing off cakes at him•
Young Discord:"oh ho ho your on!"
•Discord grabbed a smeared cake piece off the grass throwing it at Sombra but missed by a few quarters hitting Chrysalis making her come out from behind the tree•
Young Chrysalis:"Discord.."
•Discord gulped and gave a nervous smile•
Young Discord:"Eheheh yes..Chrysalis?..."
Young Chrysalis:"You just caused your self to lose this cake war prepare to meet your fate."
•Chrysalis grabbed a piece of cake from the grass throwing it at him•
Young Chrysalis:"Take That!"
Young Discord:"Two on one is it, well played but not well played enough!"
•Discord grabbed his tail shaking it roughly making two cannons fall out of his tail•
Young Discord:"Meet my treat cannons Lefty and righty!
•Celestia would walk off far away from the food fight and sit down by the pond in the garden letting out a sigh thinking about what her sister told her earlier and held her head down with a sadden look on her face•
Young Celestia:"What if Luna's right..what if something is wrong with Delirium..what if what's happening to the element of loyalty fading to grey happens to the other elements.."
•Discord would be firing off his treat cannons at Sombra and Chrysalis who were throwing back the cakes and pies that fell to the ground back at him one pie ending up hitting him on the cheek•
Young Discord:"And take that!.Huh?.."
•Discord looked away from the food fight noticing Celestia sitting alone and then looked back at Chrysalis and Sombra•
Young Discord:"Guys why not we pause the food fight here I'm gonna go see what's wrong with Celestia alright?"
Young Sombra:"Alright"
Young Chrysalis:"Will be talking to Luna and star swirled then if you need us okay Discord?"
Young Discord:"Sounds good to me I'll go check on her now."
•Chrysalis and Sombra both parted ways with Discord to go see star swirled and Luna while Discord ran to over to Celestia•
Young Discord:"Huff..huff..Celestia..w-what's the matter?"•Discord panted trying to catch his breath•
Young Celestia:"I'll tell you when you catch your breath."
•Discord waved his hoof while the other was against his chest•
Young Discord:"N-No I'm fine just uh pulled a muscle yeah that's it nothing to worry about I'll just..take a seat might help me I mean uh might lessen the pain."
Young Celestia:"Trying to impress me are you?"
•The tips of Discord ears redden•
Young Discord:"W-What don't be ridiculous"•Discord would chuckle nervously•
Young Celestia:"Its alright I won't tell."
Young Discord:"Hmph..How do you do that always knowing what I'm actually doing even with out asking."
Young Celestia:"A mare never reveals her secrets such as great as that one Discord."
•Discord pouted and then rolled his eyes giving a smile•
Young Discord:"Alright fine miss magician, but..mind telling me why your sitting away from the others it isn't like you to do that ya know."•Discord had sat down beside her•
Young Celestia:"I guess what Luna had told me earlier when we were still heading to the ceremony keeps haunting my thoughts."
•Discord raised an eyebrow with a look of concern upon him•
Young Discord:"What did Luna tell you earlier?"
Young Celestia:"She..She told me that something seemed wrong with one of the elements telling me the element of loyalty seemed to look grey..Discord what if something really is wrong or about to happen..I don't want any of you to get hurt if I can't find out what's coming before it's too-
Young Discord:"Shh Celestia dearest..you shouldn't stress about this I bet even Luna is stressing over this as much as you are but will just have to try our best to find out what's going on and why."
Young Celestia:"But Discord what if yours or any of our friends or my sisters element besides the element of loyalty starts to do that too..I-I'm scared..
•Discord gently placed his hoof on Celestia's cheek with a sympathetic look on his face•
Young Discord:"Celestia my dear everything will be ok nothing's gonna happen as long as all of us are here , remember we're here for one another and no matter what I'd never try an abandon you, to me it doesn't matter what the elements say, I mean take a look at our friends over there..there all having fun smiling, laughing just enjoying each other's company even when we all sometimes get on one another's nerves but what I'm trying to say is just focus on the good things not frightening ones alright dear?"
•Celestia placed her hoof gently on his hoof that was against her cheek with her eyes shut answering his question•
Young Celestia:"mm alright I'll try but I can't promise anything, but can I ask you something please.."
Young Discord:"Anything my dear."
•Celestia opened her eyes giving Discord a soft gaze•
Young Celestia:"alright then..but don't take this the wrong way ok?..
Young Discord:"Alright..Im listening."
Young Celestia:"If you ever were to become evil..would you end up forgetting all of our friends and even forget me?.."
Young Discord:"What...No no never of course not Celestia I wouldn't ever do that to you or to any of our friends for that matter..what made you think that idea..is it about the elements how you mentioned about one of them being grey from Luna to me earlier?"
•Celestia nodded softly bitting her bottom lip with a sadden expression on her face•
Young Celestia:"Mhm.."
•Discord let out a sigh bringing Celestia close and gave her a gentle hug resting his chin on her head•
Young Discord:"Tell me.."
Young Celestia:"Tell you..what?.."
Young Discord:"Tell me everything that's been on your mind today right now..please."
Young Celestia:"Okay I'll try my best to explain then..but where to start..?"
Young Discord:"Why not start with what's been on your mind the most."
Young Celestia:"Well..I guess my thoughts have been dwelling on delirium the most Luna said Deliriums been well acting off as off as her own element has making me wonder if both those problems are connected some how there's gotta be some way to just understand it."
Young Discord:"Delirium eh..come to think of it she has been acting well unlike her self lately now that ya mention her."
Young Celestia:"So then it isn't just Luna noticing this it's you too and maybe even the others have been noticing this aswell."
Young Discord:"Perhaps but let's not jump to our theories just yet on this will just have to find out the truth with out being seen."
Young Celestia:"And how are we suppose to do that?"
•A smile would grow on Discord face while he still was resting his chin on her head answering her question immediately•
Young Discord:"Oh I have my ways dearest..I have my ways..-"
Young Celestia:"Discord..could you promise me something please..?"
•Discords eyes darted down to Celestia listening carefully as he took his chin off her head now with his face nearly close to hers•
Young Discord:"Of course what is it?..."
Young Celestia:"Well..can you promise me you won't turn please it doesn't have to be kept forever just so I know that you won't..become like one of the creatures... that want to harm equestria.."
Young Discord:"I-I don't know if I can ever keep such a promise but ya know what I'll try my best for you love...I'll do my best."
•Discord leaned in and kissed her forehead•
•A tint of red would appear on her cheeks beginning to sound flustered in her voice•
Young Celestia:"T-Thank you Discord..thank you.."
Young Discord:"Any time my dear.."
•A thought began to stir in discords head as he pinned his ears back while looking up at the clouds in the sky with Celestia in his embrace muttering to him self quietly to not be overheard by Celestia•
Young Discord:"I just hope I can keep it.."
