The Chaos Theory
The Descending Sunset
Previous ChapterPrincess Celestia and her student were walking down one of the many halls of the castle, taking in the odd shade of purple that streamed through the stained glass windows, which were illuminated by a blazing torch on either side of the hallway, repeating every few windows. 'It seems that no matter how hard I practice, I just can't get it the same way as you, sister.’ Celestia thought, her hooves thumping against the soft red carpet as the two continued their journey.
“...Sunset Shimmer,” Celestia began after a few moments of silence, “I have heard that you're not getting along well with the other students. We've talked about the fact that personal relationships…” Sunset cut her off with a small scoff.
“Personal relationships? Who needs Anypony? The most important thing in life is to be the best.”
“We've talked about friendship and it's importance before, and we've discussed that you need to start opening yourself up to new friends. And remember that talk we had about humility?” Celestia's voice became slightly hostile, upset that her student cares little for her friends.
“I remember how boring it was,” Sunset said, callousness dripping off of her tongue.
Celestia hummed in disapproval as the two came to a set of dark blue doors with light blue highlights, its handles, and hinges made of pure gold. Celestia opened the doors with her magic, letting the torchlight flood into the mostly-vacant, dark room. Pictures hanging from the walls described scenes that Sunset couldn't quite make out. Ancient relics were displayed in various spots within the room, ranging from weapons to tablets with fading detail. And in the center of the museum-like room stood a mirror. Its frame was made out of stone, shaped like a horseshoe and embedded with sparkling amethysts and jewels. The steps leading up to the mirror had horseshoe imprints carved into the base all around them
“Look into this mirror and tell me what you see.” Celestia said as she stopped in front of the mirror, watching her student curiously.
“A beautiful pony that has nothing but power and potential,” Sunset said, smirking as she batted her mane a little. Celestia sighed, refraining from facehoofing.
“Care to try that again with our talk about humility has been taken into account?” Sunset grunted, puffing air out of her nose.
“I see a pony who isn't powerful enough,” Sunset stomped her hoof glaring at the floor, “somepony who could be great, powerful….” She stared directly into her reflection's eyes, imagine a regal crown atop her head with large wings jutting from her back. “Somepony who could rule Equestria.” A thick maliciousness crept into her voice, causing Celestia's eyes to widen with fear.
“Maybe we better move on…” She said hesitantly, draping a wing over Sunsets body, nudging her back towards the door. Sunset spotted something shimmered in the corner of the mirror, making her stiffen.
“Wait, what was that? I thought I saw…”
“Oh it was probably a trick of the light. Our lesson is over for today. For tomorrow, I want you to reflect on the discussion we've just had.” Celestia said quickly, pushing Sunset further out of the room. Curiosity getting the better of her, Sunset sneaked another peek before the doors slammed shut.
Day after day after day, Sunset nagged Celestia about the mirror, trying to milk every drop of information out of her as she could, with every attempt that failed, she only got more and more frustrated and angry. She couldn't sleep, couldn’t eat, couldn't study without knowing about that mirror. It plagued her mind every second of every minute. She just had to know. She even tried to persuade Entropy to ask for her, to which he reluctantly declined. On a particularly cloudy day, the two were eating at a picnic where she once again asked about the mirror.
“You know what's fascinating? Mirrors… about the one in…”
“Sunset Shimmer, enough! We've been over this, we will get to the mirror and many other lessons in due time...when you're ready.” Celestia has had enough. She didn't mean to snap at her student, but there was only so much she could take before she started to get angry. Sunset let out a huff as she stomped away, leaving Celestia to her thoughts as it started to pour rain.
“I am ready.” She muttered under her breath, failing to keep her anger in check as she stomped back towards the castle, glaring at any who would dare to step in her way. The staff of the castle avoided her like the e itself. “Why won't she tell me anything? I have proven myself to her countless times! I have every right to learn about it.” She clenched her jaw, grinding her teeth together as she walked down one of the halls when an idea popped into her head.
“That's perfect! There's bound to be knowledge of the mirror in the library! But can't do it alone, I need somepony to help me. But who do I trust? Who can I trust?” She thought to herself as she walked, charging her horn for a teleport. “Of course…”
Entropy focused on his levitation spell, channeling magic through his entire core as he planted his feet on the ceiling. He wobbled slightly, waving his arms frantically before stabilizing himself. He let out a shaky breath as he looked up the ground. Exerting more magic, he focused on three other objects in the room. A thick book of Equestrian history, a wooden chair, and a large magic-absorbing crystal. Starting with the book, Entropy lifted it to his face, shifting it around so he could read it, before flipping to a random chapter and began to read whilst he lifted the chair and slowly took it apart piece by piece.
“One thousand, five hundred years before the Nightmare Moon incident, Equestria and Griffonstone waged a long and bloody war. Three of the major Griffon clans, the Valkyries, Firestone and Thunderclaw, united under one banner to fight against Equestria.” He repeated out loud as he pulled the joints with a pop, organizing the individual parts of the chair from size. Applying extra force, he scraped the dried glue off, floating the dried bits onto a nearby table. As he applied glue to the joints and dowels, he lifted the crystal, grunting at the sudden pull on his magic reserves. “Despite the total military force each of the clans had combined, they were no match for the two princesses of dawn and dusk, nor their magical might.” Beads of sweat collected on his brow, dripping onto the page with a pitter-patter as a headache started to grow. “Putting up a fight, the stubborn griffons did their best against the princesses and their forces despite the clear advantage that the ponies had. Eventually, after a good three years of fighting, the princesses overtook Griffonstone. However, instead of keeping their land, the princesses returned the land the griffons with the intention of making peace with them. After half, a year of negotiating the two races came to terms with each other and now live together in peace.”
“I think it's safe to assume that I'll pass that test coming up.” Placing the re-glued chair and the book back down, he now focused on the crystal, beginning to feel its prolonged effects. He let out a sigh, poking and prodding at the crystal with his magic, noting that it was barely half full. The pull on his magic grew more and more powerful, enough for the aura around his body to begin flickering.
Deciding to not get a broken nose, Entropy dropped the crystal onto his bed before slowly lowering himself into the ground, landing onto his feet with a heavy grunt. He panted, wiping the sweat from his forehead before laying down on the ground. He sighed again, stretching his limbs and curling and splaying his toes and fingers, medical exhaustion setting in. ‘Man, doing these exercises are getting tedious. Doing basically the same thing over and over again in slightly different ways gets pretty boring at times. Wish I could test out some new spells instead of trying to increase duration.’
“Entropy!” As if answering his wish, Sunset burst into the room, the door slamming into the stone masonry with such force that it practically fused the two together. Letting out a totally stallion-like scream, not filly-like at all, Entropy responded by flinging multiple objects towards her, including the freshly-glued chair and half-charged crystal. The crystal shattered as it impacted the shield, sending chunks everywhere as the chair broke apart.
“Woah! Watch what you're doing you, idiot!” She shouted, dispelling the shield with a huff, dusting herself off with a hoof.
“Watch what I'm doing!?” He shouted, holding firmly onto his chest. “You don't just burst into somepony’s room shouting at the top of your lungs! l could have seriously hurt you if it wasn’t for your shield!” Taking a moment to calm down, and with a flick of his hand, he used his magic to collect and clean his room from all the debris and shoved it all into a trashcan. Sunset scoffed and rolled her eyes before taking his hand in her magic, pulling him out of his room and down the torch-lit hallway, much to his annoyance as he tried to pull back away from her.
“Whatever! I need your help like right now.” She said, ignoring his protests and struggles as her magic held on tight. Giving up with a sigh, Entropy chose to walk beside her as to avoid tripping. “The princess showed me a strange mirror a few weeks ago, it was faint at first but as she ushered me away I could feel something emanating from it. Every time I tried to ask about it, she just shoved it under the rug and changed the topic. My bet is that it's something she wants to be hidden from anypony that isn't close. And I bet that I can't find something about it in her personal library, more than likely the forbidden dark magic section…”
“What!? Are you cra-.” Sunset quickly jammed a hoof in his mouth, leaving muffled mumblings as he tried to talk through her hoof. She hushed him in a harsh tone as she glanced left and right, looking for any patrols. After a moment of silence, Sunset removed her hoof and gestured for him to keep it down. He spat out a lump of dried soil mixed with spit. “First off, clean your hooves damnit. And secondly Are you crazy? You know we can't go there, there are hundreds of potentially dangerous spells and knowledge that, in the wrong hooves, could bring about total annihilation!” He quickly clamped a hand around his mouth as Sunset raised her hoof again with a glare. The two looked back and forth before sighing from relief. “Why do you need my help anyway? I have no interest in getting into trouble in the first place.”
“You won't get in trouble, you don't even have to enter the section with me, I just need you to be a lookout, that's all. I swear it on my life.” She pleaded, giving him the hardest puppy dog eyes she could must her. He caved in immediately, shaking his head with closed eyes, taking a moment to collect himself.
“Fine! But I swear to my mom I'm gonna give you a piece of my mind from the way you've been acting recently and you are gonna darn well listen, understood?”
“Yes!” She whispered with a hoof pump, a victorious smile plastered across her face while she did a little dance, her clops echoing throughout the torch-lit hallway. She stopped midway through with a heavy blush as she realized what she had done. “Shut it!” She sushed with a venomous tone as he opened his mouth, making him giggle as the two continued on their route.
The two made their way down the winding white corridors of the castle, dodging the patrols of guards that seemed to be everywhere; their golden armor clinked and rattled with every step, unbeknownst to the kids that were outsmarting them. Eventually, after taking many small detours to avoid potential exposures, and many of the castle staff, the pair made it to Celestia's personal library. The same one where even the most trusted pony must be accompanied by a guard, or Celestia herself at all times to avoid dangers. The large, intimidating stone doors loomed over the two of them, forcing them to pause. With a dry gulp, they opened the heavy doors with their magic, small enough for only the two of them to slip in before closing it with a dull thud.
Taking a moment to breathe it all in, the two marveled at the sheer size of the huge, two-story circular room they found themselves In. Rows upon rows of stacked bookshelves lined every inch of the walls, the books varying in color every now and then, ranging from golden to maroon. In the center of the first floor, two sets of four bookshelves lined the space before them, converging on a singular stone bust of a unicorn with sapphire eyes rested on a pedestal, its eyes seeming to follow them as they crept around the room. The shelves in the center had various objects that were not just limited to books inside them. A strange multi-colored cube made up with smaller cubes rested on one of the shelves; a series of scrolls rested on top of it, collecting dust. It seemed familiar to Entropy, capturing his attention for a while before he forced himself to look away. The musky, enticing smell of the old books, scrolls and ink flooded their noses, a blissful sigh escaping their lips as they reminisced on past lectures. Making themselves as small as possible, the two made their way through the huge room, keeping their heads on a constant swivel.
The room trailed off into an opening on the other side of the room, leading deeper into a dark, inky abyss. Presumably into the section that they were looking for, or at the very least leading up to the second floor of the library. Nodding to each other after a brief look, the two snuck towards the opening, ducking and hiding behind the central bookshelves. Lifting a fist in the air, Entropy motioned Sunset to stop as he pressed his body against his cover. Following his lead, Sunset lowered herself down as far as she could as the two went silent. In the distance, barely audible clinking echoed through the dark passage, followed by heavy hooffalls.
Slowly, the gentle flickering of torchlight approached out of the darkness, softly lighting up a stoic-looking guard, glinting off of his armor. The guard stopped suddenly, a few meters away from entering the main room, his gaze roaming across the room with a suspicious look as if he knew they were in there. He hummed before turning to the right, disappearing from sight as he ascended a flight of stairs. The two let out a collective sigh, stepping out from their cover and continuing at a hastened pace. The two remained cautious as they entered the dark entrance, keeping an eye out as they passed the stairway. Cursing under her breath, Sunset lit her up her horn, creating a small dim light at the tip. Not bright enough to illuminate the hallway, but bright enough to see a few feet in front of them, or at the very least to make sure they don't trip on anything.
The hallway suddenly grew frosty, cold enough to turn their hot breath into vapor. A sense of foreboding flooded their minds as they created shapes out of nothing. ‘It must be a defense mechanism or some sort of spell, the hallway knows we don't have permission to be here. I have to move on! I have to find something about that mirror!’ Sunset thought to herself as she walked, a twisted mix of arrogant bravery and determination seeping out of her as she quickened her pace, leaving Entropy to catch up.
Bravery, arrogant or otherwise, was not something Entropy was feeling at the moment. The hallway played tricks on his mind, making him believe that something was in that hallway with them. His footsteps seemed to echo twice with every step, and he could swear that he could see faces in the darkness. Unknowingly, he walked closer to Sunset than before, his irrational fears getting the better of him; it took all the strength he had not to hold on to Sunsets withers for some sort of support.
Eventually, the two came across a weirdly simple wooden door with a sign nailed to it that had the words ‘Dark Magic, No Entry.’ Gently, Sunset pushed the door open with a crack just wide enough to look through, but not enough to enter. From what she could immediately see, which was not much, she could tell that another pony was in there, by the sounds coming from the desk to her immediate left. From the sounds that the pony was making, Sunset could tell that they were a mare, but that's about it.
“Well that's just great, there's somepony in there.” She whispered to herself as she turned away from the door, ignoring worried and fearful expression. “How am I going to get past her? I don't know any spells that can knock a pony out.” She looked down the hallway they came from, scanning it in thought.
“W-well, that sucks. Guess it's all for naught, huh?” He said, glancing left and right, trying his best to act brave. “I think we should head back now. It's a shame that you prioritize some spells over others. Unlike you, I have at least some knowledge to perform knockout spells…” He quickly clamped his mouth shut with his hands, looking on in fear as Sunsets eyes sparked.
“Awesome! Where did you have the time to learn something like that? Nevermind! Use it, quickly!” She whispered, pushing him towards the door with a crazed smile.
“What, no! I'm not getting into even more trouble if we get caught. Besides, I've never tested the spell out, for all I know, it'll make that pony even more alert, or it could only last a few minutes, or worse, seconds!” He whispered back, desperately trying his best to convey how bad this plan could go.
“Please Entropy, I'm begging you! I need to find out more about that mirror! I swear I will do whatever you want without hesitation as soon as we leave, and for the last time, we're not going to get caught. I'll even hang out with you and you're friends I swear to Celestia.” She begged, holding his hands in her hooves.
“But-” He cut himself off as she gave him a pleading look, whittling down his already caving resolve. “I, but….fine….” He said with a sigh, approaching the door with his palm stretched out. He angled himself to get a clear view of the pony. Closing his eyes, he concentrated on the complicated spell, picturing the math-like equation in his mind. Slowly, his palm lit up in his aura, a transparent halo formed around the pony and with a twitch of his fingers, the pony let out a loud yawn, her head swayed this way and that before the pony rested it on her hoof. Soft snores left the pony shortly afterward. Entropy dropped his arm with a sigh, before fully opening the door to allow Sunsets light in.
“Nice one!” She said, barging past him as he followed her in. He marveled at the size of the room before him. It was much smaller than the center room, but it was nonetheless big. ‘Sunset Shimmer, enough! We've been over this, we will get to the mirror and many other lessons in due time...when you're ready.’ Celestia's words rang in her head as she strolled over to one of the many bookshelves while Entropy walked over to a globe of the world covered in cobwebs, spinning it on its axis whilst stealing glances at the now-sleeping pony. She was a purple-furred unicorn with a gray mane styled in a bun.
“Not ready? I'll show her not ready.” She said to herself stopping at a random bookshelf. “You'd think this place would be better guarded, huh Entropy?” she spoke openly, startling him.
“I suppose, but I'd think that hallway would be a good deterrent by itself.” She hummed in agreement before pulling books out of the shelves, flicking through them quickly before dumping them on the ground. A good five minutes passed as she continued to dump the books before Entropy turned around and spotted them. “Sunset! Be careful! You have no idea how much those books could be worth, not to mention the potential danger!” He shouted, before scurrying towards the books as she was dumping more and more out, swiftly gathering them in his magic before stacking them.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever. Oooh, now what do you have hidden within I wonder?” She said to a brown, wrinkled leather-bound book with a sickly looking face on its...face, the words 'Necronomicon’ stitched with a main like material on its spine. It's bulbous yellow eyes seemed to stare directly into his soul, it's yellow teeth seemed to move on its own as if trying to speak to Entropy. “Nothing on the crystal mirror yet, but a few of these spells will come in handy.”
“Ugh, I can't look at that thing, but I can't look away either…, please put that thing down, face down if you would.” He said with a shiver, an overthrowing fear consuming his mind.
“Ugh, fine. You big foal.” She chucked the book down on the floor beside her, shaking her head as the leather scraped against the floor as it slid. This was the one book that Entropy did not want to touch with his magic. Sunset pulled yet another book out, skimming through the index page until something caught her eye. “Ah! Here we go! The Crystal mirror…” she flipped through the pages until she reached the page that had the mirror on it, finding a well-detailed diagram of the mirror along with written notes. Entropy, who was now also curious, crouched beside her as she began to read a passage from the book. Unbeknownst to the two, the spell on the pony had worn off. Quickly spotting the two, the mare slowly crept out of the room before galloping down the hallway.
“Every thirty moons, a portal will open to….another world?”
“That's not really for you to know, now is it?” Celestia's voice said sternly, surprising the both of them. The two quickly turned around to find the princess, along with two guards standing behind them, a not quite angry, not quite disappointed look etched onto the princess’ face as she raised her wings in intimidation.
“How dare you keep this kind of magic away from me! You know that I'm ready for this, that I can be great!” Sunset shouted, slamming the book down onto the ground.
“Sunset, please….” Entropy said weakly, trying to calm his friend.
“You could be great.” Celestia's voice easily overpowered Entropy's as she glared at Sunset. “I thought I saw compassion and sincerity in you, but it was nothing but ambition. You're being selfish, you need to step back and reflect-”
“I'm being selfish?” She shouted, picking up a book that she had a read through and threw it at Celestia, who deflected it with magic. Seeing the possible threat that she was in, one of the guards leaped to her defense, before being held back by one of her hooves. “That book right there says I could be as powerful as an alicorn princess. I could rule here! It's selfish of you to keep me from my rightful place!”
“I deserve to stand beside you and be your equal, if not your better.” She boldly proclaimed while standing over the book that had, for whatever reason, opened to the exact page she was talking about. “Make me a princess.” She demanded while she looked over to Entropy. “You agree with me, right?!” Before he could even begin, Celestia spoke up.
“Don't you dare bring my son into this! Being a princess must be earned, I've been trying to teach you everything you need to know, but you have turned from it! Every time you say you 'deserve’ to get something without the effort. just proves to me that you are not ready.” She said with a stern voice, glaring harshly at Sunset. “Sunset Shimmer, I am removing you from the position of my pupil. If we cannot get past this, your studies end here. You are welcome to stay in Canterlot, but you are no longer welcome in the castle.”
“We'll never get past this because you aren't seeing how great I deserve to be. Is that really all you have to say to me?.
“No, the guards will escort you out.” She turned her gaze to Entropy, who quivered in fear from her. While it did break her heart to see her own son afraid of her, she had no choice. “As for you, Entropy, both you and Sunset are hereby forbidden to talk with each other until further notice. You are also grounded until I see fit to ungrounded you. I don't know why you decided to help her and I don't care. I'm disappointed in both of you. Guards, escort Sunset out of here and take my son to his room.”
“This is the biggest mistake you'll make in your entire life.” Sunset declared as both she and Entropy were dragged out of the room and down the hallway.
“One of many,” Celestia muttered as she looked to a tapestry depicting her battle with her sister.
The guards pulled the pair along, much to the dismay of Sunset who grumbled and glared at the floor, rage and hate taking up all of the space in her mind. 'How dare she deny me my rightful power! I won’t stand for this, I will become an alicorn, somepony even stronger than Celestia herself!’ An idea hit her, her face twisted into a dark smile as she looked to the two guards and then to Entropy. Without a moment of hesitation, she headbutts both of the guards and grabbed Entropy in her aura, ignoring his protests as she galloped towards the mirror room with the guards on her tail.
Faster than she thought was possible, she made it to the room, preparing a magical attack as she dropped Entropy on the floor. With seconds to spare, the guards galloped into the room and were promptly knocked out by the attack, toppling them to the ground, unconscious.
“Sunset what are you doing! We're already in enough trouble!” Sunset said nothing as she quickly trotted up to the mirror, passing a hoof through the glass. The portal was active. “Sunset, please! Just stop!”
“Stop what!? I deserve this! The amount of training that I've been through, everything that I've been through. It's not fair!”
“Not fair!? You're taking things for granted! You're already powerful! You don't need to be able to rival mom for ponies to think that. You don't need to become more than what you're already are, mom knows what she's doing. Tartarus, she's older than both of us, older than all of Canterlots history, she knows what's best!
“She doesn't know a thing! You heard her, she's forcing us apart! She's the one who's all for friendship and such, yet she's forcing my friend away from me! She's forcing me away from you. Aren't I a friend to you…?”
“Of course you are but-”
“But nothing! None of us deserve this. If you're truly my friend, come with me.” She held out a hoof, beckoning Entropy towards her. “In here, we could be together, we could continue being friends. You can even help me become a better person while we're in there.” Her words compelled him to move forward, with each step he got closer to her, the more he believed in her words. “It doesn't hurt whatsoever, see.” She waved her hoof around while it was still inside. “You'll follow me….right?”
“I-I…” he looked at the mirror, at his reflection, then to her and her hoof. ‘If I follow, I could keep her out of trouble...right? I could help her, keep her safe. But what about mom...what about Rose?’
“I'll go first, see you in a bit.” With that, she leaped through, disappearing without a trace. Timidly, after a few seconds of silence, Entropy lifted his hand to the mirror, passing through it like it was water. Tingles ran up and down his arm as his hand disappeared, he could feel the magic on the other side of it, condensed together as if it was water or something similar. Before he could take another step, Celestia burst in.
“Entropy wait, please!” Her sudden voice caused him to tense up, his head snapping to her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stared desperately at him. “Please don't go through, I can't lose somepony else close to me.” She stepped forward, walking past the unconscious bodies of the guards and stopping a few feet from the steps leading up to the mirror. “I don't know what she's told you, but going through there won't solve anything. Because the truth is I don't actually know what's on the other side. Both of you might not even end up in the same place. And if something were to happen to you...I will never forgive myself! I've already lost my sister, my mother and father and now I've lost my student, I can't lose my son.”
Tears fell from her eyes without restraint, his eyes widened as he pulled his hand from the portal. Just as he pulled his last finger from it, the portal shimmered, locking and returning into normal glass, catching the very tip of his middle finger, snipping of a tiny piece of skin. Ignoring the pain, Entropy ran towards Celestia, pulling her into a tight hug, apologizing as he sobbed into her coat. The guards woke up with a groan, rubbing their heads in a daze as they tried to remember what happened. Wiping her tears from her face and quickly nuzzling her son, she made her way to the guards.
“She took us by surprise, princess. We're sorry.” One of them groaned, shaking his head. “Never rushing into a room with a unicorn without a plan again.” He mumbled.
“Shh, it's fine. If you're feeling up to it, would you please help move the mirror to a safer place?” She asked gently, as the guards pulled themselves together, receiving a nod from the both of them. The four of them made their way to the throne room, with Entropy helping to push the mirror, who earned a thanks from the both of them.
It didn't take long for them to reach the empty room, and while it wasn't long, it was very boring to Entropy. The empty room was eerily quiet, too quiet for Entropy's tastes as he was rarely in this room during the night. Pushing the mirror to one of the pillars close to the throne, the guards placed the mirror next to it and swiftly hung it up.
“Why hang it in an even more prominent place? Shouldn't you hide the mirror princess?” One of the guards said as they wiped the sweat from their brow.
“No...I want it here…to remind me. Also, maybe she'll come back... someday.” Something triggered within Entropy, clenching his hand into a fist as he snapped towards Celestia.
“You think she'll come back after what you said?” He said through grinding teeth, glaring at his mother much to the shock of everypony. “None of this would have happened if you didn't show her that damn mirror! Or if you actually taught her something about actual trust and friendship! If you were actually a good teacher she would still be here!” He didn't mean to snap at her, or speak with such venom in his voice, but he couldn't help it. “If you were actually good at being a princess, then maybe I wouldn't hate you so much.”
“Young lord, wait!” On other Guards spoke out, stepping towards him as he walked out of the throne room, only to be stopped by the princess.
“Leave him, he needs some time alone,” Celestia spoke softly, staring at Entropy's back with sorrowful eyes. “I know he didn't mean what he said, he's just angry. At himself more than likely.” She blinked the light away as he teleported to someplace within the castle grounds. 'Yet another failure on my part, huh sister?’
The night air filled his lungs as he let out a pent up sigh, already regretting his choice of words. Stuffing his hands into his pockets, he began to walk in a random direction, pausing every now and then to watch the flowers sway in the breeze. Only for a moment, however, as the world seemed to have lost its vibrant color, now only a shell of its former self. He let out a yawn, his eyes beginning to droop. It had been a long, very long chaotic night, full of ups and downs that came just as quickly as they passed.
He brushed past a statue, the cold stone caught his eye for a moment before he continued to walk. Soon enough, he found himself standing directly in front of Discord’s statue, its eyes seeming to follow Entropy as if it was alive. But that couldn't be so, right? No living thing could be made of stone.
He sat down in front of the statue, crossing his legs over each other. He felt as though he was...drained, devoid of what he should be feeling. He didn't know what he should be feeling. Did he feel anything?
“I'm tired….” Entropy said out loud, his eyes no longer it's vibrant brown shade, now just a dull shell of its former self.
“I should have come with, Sunny…”
Entropy said as he slowly drifted off to sleep.
