Canterlot. That is the kingdom in which my enemy has placed her dreams in. The place where the highest of ponies and Royals live and take from others. I wonder if she even knew how corrupt her kingdom was? Did she even care? I considered this as I walked through the streets of this false dream. My only goal today was to get to the gardens in the Castle. The only way I could get in was through the city and through the front doors of the castle. The guards wouldn't be much trouble. I could put them to sleep or make up a reasonable excuse.

The walk through the city was mildly annoying. I could hear all the gossip and complaining from all the spoiled ponies that infested this place like rats in a burrow. I tried my best not to just strangle the shit out of every pony I saw. If I did, my cover would be blown and my plan would be ruined. I was not in my Kirin form since I knew that would draw too much attention. I made a new pony form that was similar to my Kirin form. It had the same color pallet and cutie mark, but it did not have the dragon wings or the claws.

I was walking right now in what seemed to be a market. The crowd of ponies made it difficult to get through to the end of the market. As I passed through, I bumped into a couple of ponies. Some didn't react, but one decided to turn around and give me a insult. "Watch where you are going you filthy creature!" the pony exclaimed. I sighed. The pony had a brown coat and silver mane with gold yellow eyes. He wore a black suit and tie around his neck that showed his wealth. This was one the rich ponies that would either live in the castle or somewhere prestige. I did not care for these ponies. In the end they will all get what they deserve. I suddenly felt something bump into my chest. He jabbed me with his hoof. "Did you not hear me!? Respond to me you animal!" I simply rolled my eyes. He was not worth my time. I couldn't do anything since it would blow my cover. I took the polite route.

"I am deeply sorry sir. I promise it would not happen again. I will tell others to not make the same mistake and I will spread you title amongst others so they know of your power." I bowed. The pony smiled. He seemed happy with this answer.

"Good. Remember that you filthy peasant." he walked past me while shoving me out of the way. I just stood there and closed my eyes and took a deep breath. He will get what he deserves. Soon... Very soon. I opened my eyes and continued to walk forward.

The walk remained uneventful. I took my time. I studied the city and the types of security it had. I knew this info would be useful later on with my plans. The pathway was straight toward the castle, but it took a while to get there. It was already becoming dark. About a half hour later I finally made it to the castle. I looked around the perimeter of the giant sculpture that lay before me. There were guards posted all over the wall and gates. In front of the castle was a entrance for ponies so they may speak to the princess or just want to tour the castle. I chuckled at this. She made this even easier for me. I walked towards the entrance. There were two guards posted at the gates. Each one had a spear and the usual gold plated armor. I approached the gate.

I will admit I was nervous. I was not sure if they would stop me and ask questions or let me go. I continued to walk closer to the guards. I was so close. Just a few more steps and I would walk through them. I tried to control my breathing.

"Halt sir." I choked on my breath. I instantly stopped dead in my tracks. I looked at the guard that spoke. It was a mare. I could tell because of her voice and how much smaller she was compared to her partner. "Do you have business with the princess?" she droned. I just stood there. I did not know how to respond. Usually Discord was the better liar. I had to respond.

"No. I am here to visit the gardens." I said while trying to hide the nervousness in my voice. I could tell the guard raised her brow under her helmet.

"I'm sorry sir but you cannot visit the gardens right now." I raised my brow at this

"And why not?"

"Because they are off limits at this time." she quickly responded. Time to play the lying card.

"There is a misunderstanding. I was told by one of the royals to meet him there before night to talk about a buisiness proposal." I tried to make my voice sound as if it were a fact.

She looked deeply into my eyes. "Which royal?" she asked. I did not know how to respond. I did not know of any royals. I began to panic and sweat started to form on my head. I had to think. Wait. I think I have a idea, but It is more of a hunch than a real idea. I thought back on that one pony I bumped into. I tried to remember his cutie mark. I don't remember looking very closely at it so I tried my best at what I thought I saw. I do remember a image of a bag of spilled coins. I had to take a guess at his name. I looked at the guard.

"His name was Golden Coin." I said confidently.

The mare scoffed. "Oh, it was him. Very well then. I will escort you to the gardens."

I cheered in my head. My stupid wager paid off. "Thank you madam." She began to walk through the gate while I followed closely behind her.

The walk through the castle was very educational. It felt like walking through a new museum and you wanted to check everything out to see what it was. I was interested to see all the different painting and sculptures that littered the walls. The whole area was a very clean white. It was clean enough to where you could actually eat off of it. I even passed by a maid that was dusting off a sculpture of pony's head.

The walk to the gardens was long. I don't think I actually took in the size of this place. I took the time now to study the areas of the guards. I studied the areas in which were not covered. This was just too good. I was walking through my enemy's castle like I belong here. I was getting all the info I need without anypony noticing. We eventually made it to the gardens after walking through the castle for almost a half hour. Me and the Guard stood at the entrance of the gardens. I looked down at the Guard.

"Thank you for the escort Madam, but I will be fine from here" I began to walk forward. She put her hood in front of me.

"No pony is allowed without the escort of a guard. I will come with you to confirm you are telling the truth." She said while walking ahead and opening the gate for me. She made this a lot more difficult.

We were walking through the gardens. Let me tell you this. It was one hell of a garden. There were so many different types of flowers and bush designs that I could not even describe them all. I was so enraptured by the beauty of the garden that I didn't even notice the guard asking me a question. "Sir! Are you listening." she yelled at my face. I recoiled at the volume of her voice. I shook my head to wipe away the thoughts I had.

"Yes. I'm sorry. What were you saying." I asked. She sighed

"I was asking if you knew where he said to meet you at." I smiled.

"Yes. He told me to meet him at the Discord statue. Do you know where that is?" I asked

She nodded. "Yes. Follow me Sir." We walked for a few more minutes until we came to a clearing.

The clearing had nothing around it. It was just a small area with grass and a statue in the middle. When I looked at the statue my face became grim. I knew what the statue was. I remembered the those same features. It was my brother, Discord. I noticed something new about him. He seemed to be bigger. He grew since I was gone. He also looked as if he was laughing. He went down with a laugh. It was so much like him. I felt the guard nudge me.

"Sir. Are you sure he said for you to be here? I don't see anypony." she asked while looking around. I sighed. This was the unfortunate part.

"No. He is not here. What is your name guard." I asked while looking down at her, trying to remember her features.

She looked up at me. "Silver Blade sir. Why do you ask?" Too bad it had to be this way. She should have stayed back.

"I'm sorry Silver, but you made the decision to follow me." I summoned a knife.

"WHAT!?" she cried out. I turned around and swung the blade. I could feel the friction of the blade slicing her throat. She cried out in pain and surprise. She coughed and stumbled back. She held up her hoof over the cut, trying to hold the blood in. It didn't work. She stumbled around while coughing and gaging. Blood was spurting everywhere she walked and coughed. She looked at me. I felt a small amount of pity when I looked into those emerald eyes of hers. I could see the pain, the confusion, the fear. All of those emotions showed from the simple look she took at me. Silver fell over on her side and her helmet fell off, revealing her face. I looked at her features. Her mane was a very shinny silver and her coat was snow white. She was beautiful. She started to spread out her arms. She was reaching out to anything she could hold on to. The closest thing was my leg. She grasped it with all the amount of strength she had left. Silver looked up at me again. She had tears in her eyes. I could sense the pain and fear run through her body like the blood that gives her life. She coughed again, getting some blood on my leg.

"Why? Why me? I don't want to die. I'm not ready." She whispered while coughing. I just stood there, unmoving, expressionless. Her grip started to falter. Eventually I felt her let go. Her arms and head fell down with a soft thud. I looked down. I saw the life leaving her body. Her face was expressionless and she looked like she was already dead. I could still hear her breathing, barely. He breaths were becoming slower and shorter. I then heard her speak.

"Why....me?" she let out her final breath. She was dead. I sighed and dissolved the knife. I knelt down and put my hoof over her face. I shut her eyes and stood there silently. It was a shame she had to die. I respected her death with complete silence. A minute passed before I decided to move. I brought my magic around her body and I disintegrated it. Leaving nothing behind, not even the blood. I turned to the statue. Now it was time I looked at what I came for.

I studied the statue. I felt the magic surrounding it. I was similar to the type of magic that imprisoned me. What I don't understand was that he was still frozen. He should have been freed by now. I thought back to the tales of how he was defeated. I remember him trying to rule Equestria after my imprisonment and faced against Luna and Celestia. I gasped in realization. The difference between me and him was that only Celestia was there to imprison me. For Discord it was Luna and Celestia. The magic used on him was much stronger than me. This brought thoughts to my mind. There had to be a way to free him, but how? I looked up at him. When I looked at him I looked at his different animal parts. This brought a idea in my head. I smiled. Maybe I can use his spirit power to free him. I could cause chaos all over Equestria and give him enough power to break out.

I laughed in excitement. I can free him. I will be able to see my brother again. I felt tears forming in my eyes. We will be a family again. I walked to the statue and put my hoof on it.

"Don't worry brother. I will free you. We will both have our revenge for what She did to us." I whispered. I pulled my hoof away and turned around to leave. Before I did a thought came to mind. I just realized that I am in Celestia's castle. I could change to the tides for this game of ours. I thought of a way on how I could use this advantage. I suddenly felt a felt a familiar presence. I looked up towards one of the towers of the castle. On the balcony of this tower, I saw Luna. She seemed tired and was ready to fall asleep. She stood up from laying on the balcony she rested on. I then saw her retreat back into her tower. I smiled. Time to pay Luna a quick visit.

I teleported to the tower. I stood on the balcony, just outside of Luna's room. I peeked through the window. It was dark and I could hardly see anything. I decided I should go in. I used my magic to open the lock from the inside. I slowly and quietly opened the double glass doors. When I opened them I was revealed with a simple bedroom. The bedroom had blue walls and had some sparkles on the ceiling. There was also a fire place and desk near the far wall. I looked down. There was also carpeted floors. I smiled. I easily stepped through into the bedroom, knowing that I don't have to worry about detection.

I looked around the bedroom. To my right I found a queen sized bed. Laying in the bed herself was Luna. I walked closer to the bed to examine her. When I got to the bed, I stood at the side of it. I looked down at Luna and examined her. She still seemed the same from long ago. He blue coat and mane, still dark and shiny as ever. I watched her chest rose up and down. I sighed. I could kill her right now. No one would know and Celestia would be devastated. Although, I had a better plan. I don't have anything against Luna, but she did also imprison my brother. I wont let that go unpunished. I decided that I wont punish her. She will be driven to punish herself. I smiled and brought my horn to hers. I summoned my dark magic and casted it through my horn to hers. I could see the dark energy leave my horn and drain into hers. I chuckled and pulled my horn away. Now she will try to punish herself for the acts she has done as Nightmare Moon. I saw that Luna was frowning. She started to shake and sweat. I giggled to her torment. She was having a Nightmare.

I walked out of her bedroom out to the balcony. I closed the doors behind me and locked them. I looked up to the sky. It was getting close to morning. I looked out to the world ahead of me. I could see almost everything from here. I could see the city and even Ponyvile. I smiled. I went back to my Kirin form. I stretched out my wings, preparing to fly. Now all I had to do was spread chaos everywhere I go. I ran and jumped off the balcony. I tucked in my wings, diving a few hundred feet down. When I came close to the base of the castle I extended my wings and soared out in the new morning sky. It is your move now Celestia.
