Chapter 1 The Abyss

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Discord was in his pocket dimension. It was the one place he could completely unleash his chaos. However if wasn’t nearly as fun when there was nopony else to watch. Then again, he thought, this exercise isn’t for fun. It’s just that. Exercise.

At that moment he was working on some of his more difficult spells. Like opening stable rifts. This wasn’t really all that difficult it was just that he was exercising his mental focus ability in order to make them stable. Which was surprisingly hard. Being the avatar of chaos that he was. The magic he used was chaos magic. Which, when used without thought, would would generate small random acts or occurrences of chaos. Which were only temporary. Adding thought to the use of this magic increases the user's ability to chose what would happen. It also added stability and permanency to the spell.

Now if one simply wanted these small occurrences, just because, or only put a little thought into it then it would be fine.
The Chaos Avatar naturally draws power from any occurrence of disharmony, the bigger/larger/more powerful the occurrence the more power he gained. However, the downside to the Chaos Avatar was that focusing thought was more difficult because their thoughts were just as random as the effects of chaos magic. This is what made the spells discord was using difficult.

Ever since his befriending Fluttershy and her friends Discord’s ability to focus his thoughts was strengthened. This made it easier to do the complicated spells he had had difficulty with previously. However to offset that, because he couldn’t just perform his magic anywhere he wanted, his magic stores weren't as stalked as he would have liked.

So in order to build back up those stores he made this pocket dimension in the first place which A) gave him the freedom to do what he wanted and B) to gain magical strength.

Discord was testing his ability today in these areas. His goal today was to simultaneously set up 1000 stable dimensional rifts. All of which to completely different dimensions and hold them there as long as possible. However discord was disappointed with himself. He had been “working out” for over two hours now and had only been able to get 976 stable rifts working for 5 minutes.

Discord breathed heavily. Sweat dripping off of his mamel features, while his reptilian ones were heated. He clenched his fists and bellowed at the sky(or where the sky would have been).

“What in Tartarus is going on! I am the all powerful god of chaos I should be able to cast something as simple as a couple thousand BLASTED PORTALS!” He fumed as his last rifts dissipated and flames erupted from his dragonesque features.

“Ugg this is infuriating!”he snorted after his spasm.

He took a few deep breaths and calmed down knowing that if he was to attempt it again he would need to be level headed. He simply needed to look at this from a different angle.

“Maybe I can get all 1000 if I reduce the time they were left open. And did them in dimensions that are closer together.”as Discord calculated he had crossed one arm over while using his other arm/claw to stroke his beard.

“Yes, yes I think that will work.”

The draconequus’ features lifted to a happier state as he turned around to try again. He placed his claw and lion paw in front of his myself and began casting the spell.

Susan was puzzled. She could tell she was still falling but wondered why? She should have landed in the creek already. She opened her eyes and immediately confusion was replaced with fear as her pupils dilated. She started to scream and flail about as she realized that she was no longer falling towards the creek but towards a black abyss!

She could still see the bridge but as she fell dark blackness surrounded a circular image of it. She continued to scream as memories of falling as a child was brought to the forefront of her mind. (She had broken 3 bones on three separate occasions because of falling) fear griped Susan as she continued to fall and she closed her eyes to hide from a long time fear.
***********************************

Discord turned and ceased his spell as he heard a terrified, blood curtailing scream and rushed towards it. What's screaming? What happened? Did something fall from one of the portals?

As he got closer to the thing from whence the scream was emanating, he saw it and stopped in his tracks before traveling twice as fast as his original speed. For the creature had stopped its noise. He then teleported to catch the thing sooner.
***********************************

Something struck Susan’s back. She started breathing heavily. What was that? That's not possible nothing was below me and even there was it would have hit harder than that! Maybe there was a creature that lived in this abyss and caught me? What if if was a creature? what was it?! Would it eat me? Her heart pounded.

All this thought came to Susan in less than seconds. Her eyes shot open and she flinched at what met her gaze.

“Hey are you alright?” A deep yet kind and worried voice called down to the being that held her.

Susan's heartbeat slowed down, finding a strange comfort in the voice. I've heard that voice before. She thought. Is that who I think it is? As she concentrated and her eyes came into focused on the gray face of an equine with one large fang, a beard, two large yellow and red eyes, one antler and one blue horn.

Her heart stopped. I must be dreaming. It couldn't be.

“Discord?”she said shakily.
