Author's Note

Well I finally decided to write something on this site. I've never written anything I wasn't forced to write before, and I certainty have never published anything. This had no editor but lil' old me so be EXTRA critical.

Prologue

The old creature, older then he’d care to admit, spoke softly. Though not soft enough, it seems to escape the coughing fit that inevitably came every time he spoke aloud.

“Oh, it’s about that time, then?”

After a few tiny lungs, literal lungs, escaped his lips he started chuckling to himself.

“Ah Discord, dying, but still using your precious magic to do a visual gag that no one’s there to see.” He began coughing again. “Maybe if I’d followed the Trees advice all those years ago I would’ve had a better plan for this.”

Discord mustered his strength to pull himself from the final chair in his home. All the other furniture had vanished, or simply became fragments of the object that they were supposed to be. The couch, for example, was just a cushion, and a few legs floating around the spot that the real couch had been. The bed upstairs had actually turned into just the word bed, the blocky text hovering a few feet from the floor. The paint and the carpeting had also vanished, leaving the home looking like a grey, empty shell of a house. With nothing but the simple wooden chair, and a few odds and ends floating about it. He started toward the window with a slow gait. He would have summoned a walking cane if he’d had the energy for it, but as he stood now, he had to focus his mind on the wooden chair in the room just to keep it from falling into pieces like everything else in the house. Once he got to his window he leaned on the wall for support. With a snap of his claws, that single chair slowly, so slowly it barely made a sound on the floor, came to his side at the window. He ceremoniously plopped himself into it. He stared into the black void of his scrying window.

“I shouldn’t waste my energy on this…” Discord chided himself before placing his lion paw on the window. The window glowed blue with magic as the picture of a small cottage appeared before him. Outside the home a small yellow Pegasus was tending to beaver who had a splinter in his tail.

“There she is…” Discord’s face grew a small smile. “Of all the lifetimes to find a friend Discord, you chose this one.” He chuckled again. A slightly tinny voice came through the window.

“There you are Mr. Beavington, all better. Now you remember what I told you about looking before patting down your logs.” She gave him a playful smile. Then the beaver hugged her muzzle, and ran off. She giggled at the animal’s antics, then went off to do some of her other chores. The scry failed to follow her, because it simply didn’t have the energy too.

“Lucky little rat.” Discord said with a hint of malice and a scoff. “Well, best if I get to work” He pressed his Paw onto the glass again, causing it to glow blue once more. This time, there was a lake in view. It looked to be somewhere in the deeper parts of the Everfree.

“There’s a big chance this won’t even work, but it the only choice I have.” Discord begin pouring the Chaos magic he had stored for this moment days ago into a spell. He knew that a Schism was bound to open somewhere near to the lake, all he had to do was make it open somewhere he wanted it to. Normally he would have picked an exact spot for it to open, or better yet open his own portal, but not this time. He simply didn’t have the strength for that. All Discord could do was pick the reality, and the world, that it happened to opened on.

“I have no idea where this Schism will open on that world, but at least I know there’s Humans on it.” Humans are the most common creatures really, it took almost nothing to create them. To get Lizard men you needed heat, but not too much heat. For Serpents, large oceans with just the right fish. But Humans? All they need is an atmosphere with some basic gases, and a few common plants and animals. They are, in a literal sense, the most basic intelligent creatures in all the multi-verse.
Discord scoffed again. “I suppose I will have to have faith, then. Faith that by some random streak of blind luck, the entire world can be saved.” He started chuckling once more, then it became a low laugh, then a bellowing laugh so loud you could hear it though the empty walls. So loud, it echoed though the crumbling world outside.

They were laughing their fucking ass’s off.

“Yeah, real funny assholes!” I yelled at the two intruders laughing at me from my new position on the floor.

“WAKEY WAKY EGGS AND BAKEY!” Markus blew his airhorn, before laughing again. The kid next to him was laughing too, and in-between breaths managed to cough something out as I got to my Feet.

“Di-did you see his Fuckin’ Face!?” Jakub took a second to laugh before continuing “He’s all ‘OH SHIT!’, then his ass falls right out a bed!”

“Jesus , you guys couldn’t just wake me up?!” I yelled at them.

“Hey, to be fair” Markus started “TQ woke you up a half’n hour ago, but you wanted more beauty sleep. So, me and J took things into are own hands.” He finished with a turn to Jakub who added his own comments on.

“That’s right. Now you remember what the taught us back in the engineering academy, you see problem, you face it head on.” Jakub turned his head back to Markus who responded in kind.

“Yes, I do concur with this notion” Markus spoke with a haughty Englishman’s accent “and with that information in mind” He blew the airhorn once again right in my face.

“Ah, Christ!” I yelled as I turned and Covered my ears.

“WAKE UP AND GET READY! Were gonna’ be late for the flight!” Markus yelled at me.

“Fine” I sighed “what time is it anyway?” I said to them as I unzipped my bag for some clothes to wear.

“Its… Um? J what time is it?” Markus said back.

“Its 5:45, or close to it anyway, flight leaves at 7” Jakub looked at his watch to confirm the information.

“Yo, you boys done waken up sleepin beauty yet?” TQ called out to them from outside the cabin bedroom door.

“Yeppers!” Markus called back with a goofy tone.

“Good” TQ gowned, probably for exertion.” then help me move this!”

“Oh, sowee Masser, I get to work, masser, you see! I be good, masser!” Markus called back to him. Jakub and TQ started laughing, before TQ responded in kind. “Yeah Fuck you too Markus.”

Jakub pushed Markus out of his way before leaving the room, Markus followed him and closed the door behind him. “Those guys, man” I thought to myself as I looked myself over in the mirror. My green eyes matched the color of Jakub’s, unlike Markus’s Blue or TQ’s brown. I picked up the comb and styled my dirty blond hair. I didn’t bother shaving, because my pale face lacked any scruff. I put on the T-shirt I’d grabbed from my suit case along with some black cargo shorts. I went back over to the bag to zip it up when I noticed the photo of me and my friends laying on top the cloths. It was taking at are eighth grade dance. Jakub was kissing his, at the time, new Girlfriend Kara. Markus was behind them, with a goofy face and his index finger suck through a hole he was making with his other hand. I remember how Jakub chewed him out for that. Said he couldn’t even use the picture because of it. In fact, that how I ended up getting it. Next to the two lovers was me, standing there with an awkward smile on my face, just as oblivious to Markus as they were, but not TQ. He was standing behind me just about to start laughing at Markus when the took the picture, gave him a big smile in it.

I closed the suitcase and carried it out of my room. Jakub was helping Kara with her suitcase, while Markus was helping TQ with fitting everthing in the car. I was walking out the front door when Kara called over to me.

“Good morning, Ken!” She said in her usually peppy voice

“Yeah, I mean if you don’t include the multiple airhorns to the face.” I said with a smirk, Then I heard said Airhorn go off, and the smirk died. I turned toward the sound to see Markus in the doorway with a shit eating grin.

“Just tryin' give my pal the best morning he can have.” Markus said from the door way. He walked over to Jakub and offered out his hand. Jakub thanked him and gave him one of the bags he was holding. The two of them walked back out to the car, Kara and I followed behind.

“I can’t believe my Mom let me go on this trip with you guys!” Kara said to me.

“Well you have known us for 5 years Kara” I told her

“Yeah well, it’s more about the distance yeah know? I mean we just graduated. Florida to Hawaii is a long way. You think they would be a little nervous about us being so far away.” She looked over to me with a questioning look.

“Kara, I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a clean record. I mean its not like we’ve ever gotten caught doing anything. As far as are parents know were just some studious honors students going on a safe little trip together.” I gave her a knowing Smirk and raised my eyebrows at her. She giggled in kind

“Yeah, I guess you’re right, what they don’t know won’t hurt them.” Jakub grabbed her waste from behind, and she leaned back to give him a kiss.

“Exactly” Jakub said

“Aww, how sweet” Markus called from inside the car. His voice sounded like an old grandma that smoked her hole life. “Come on Cuties, its time go!”

“yeah fo’ real lets go” TQ said “ ehay, Ken you driven?”

“Yeah let’s head out guys” With that I jumped in the front seat, and started the Car.

The drive wasn’t to long, but it was filled with many games of satirical ‘I spy’ from Markus, and a lot of cuddling and kissing from Jakub and Kara. We all walked to the baggage check and started toward are gate. A few stops here and there for varies reasons but the walk was almost uneventful.

The Ticket man checked are tickets, and told us to wait a second. While we were waiting, a black-haired man with a white shirt and a leather jacket came up behind us. Then the ticket man came back and gave us are seat numbers. The man walked right into the plane behind us, but I didn't see him show his ticket. All our seats were close to the center except for Markus's, which was in the far back, next to quite the hefty fellow. TQ gave Markus a grin and just said ‘shoulda picked your own seat.’ The Man I noticed earlier sat one seat from the front row.

“Man, I can’t wait to get some Hawaiian chicks. You think they seen many Black guys out there?” TQ asked me

“I mean probably. Were not going to Asia.” I said as I looked out the window.

“Yeah but I mean, do think its still like exotic and shit?”

“Man, I don’t know!”

“Well, what do you know?”

“I know Jakub ain’t gotta be asking any of these questions.” As I said that I gestured back to the couple that had already started cuddling up.

“Yeah, well not all of us gotta Fast pass to pussyvile like Jakub does” TQ said as he leaned back in his chair. “You know what I do know though? I know Ima be able to sleep a little with Markus’s nigga ass stuck in the back”

Jakub looked up “I here that, this man is a savior!”

“I know, like, Markus is wild, but sometime’ he just too wild” TQ Closed his eyes as the plane started to take off. ‘I should probably get some sleep too’ I thought to myself. With that I laid back in my seat and started out the window before I slowly fell asleep.
