Love Conquers All

Hello, your faithful storyteller has come down with a rather tragic and completely unexpected case of pneumonia. Quite a Tragedy if you ask me. Since he is out I thought it would be fitting if you obtained some information from the deity who has seen it all.

That's right folks. It is I: The Deity of disharmony, the King of chaos, the Sultan of silly, the Punjabi of pranks! It truly is I! Discord! As for why I decided to take over, well, let's just say I have some personal stock in this tale. See, a long time ago, the two royal pony dorks used that gem to sap almost all of my power from me. (Yes that tale about Celestia using the Elements of Harmony on me is grade A bologna. I mean honestly, there are six pieces. how could she wield all six at the same time? it's not like she has five necks.) When almost all of the magic had been drained from me, my body's defense mechanism kicked in and turned me to stone to wait for my energy to return to me again.

I thought they would flub it all up and keep the gem in Celestia's room and I would be out in a couple of years tops. But no, Celestia had a special box made that would block out all magic from getting in or out of it. Then she gave it to her student at the time, Cloudy Skies(Actually won the award for 'Most Ironic Name For An Earth Pony once), he took it not just out of Canterlot, not just out of Equestria, but all the way across the world to the Chimeran Wastes.

Nice place actually, green as can be, just littered with Chimeras. I think they're cuddly, but maybe that's because I made them. Who knows.

Anyways, let's skip ahead a few thousand years, a few years after Luna's little... psychotic break.

That was quite entertaining by the way. She was like a foal throwing a temper tantrum, it was so cute.

This cult started up, it was a long name that I really don't want or care to pronounce. It had something to do with Alicorns and heavenly bodies. What i'm, trying to say is: nutjobs. They thought that the gem could drain the very power from the sun and moon. Oh, and go figure, the thing was started by Cloudy Skies' descendant Night Eternal...I know. Silly ponies with silly names.

So the head nutjob Night Eternal spends the rest of his life trying to  decipher the maps and riddles his ancestor left him. He got some of it...but let's just say that Night Eternal wasn't the brightest star in the sky, so he left it to his son...who left it to his son, who left it to his son, who left it to his son, who left it to his daughter, who left it to her best friend's brother in law, who left it to the daughter's great grandson, who is Star Shine.

Star Shine spent his whole childhood looking over all of the charts and formulas that his dear delusional ancestors left for him. He learned that they all eventually became star charts...so you see why he became an astronomer, but even with all of his 'vast' and 'legally obtained' knowledge, he still had some star charts he didn't even recognize, so he devised a plan to get to Celestia's stores of 'Priceless knowledge.'

Honestly, I could back it all obsolete with a snap of my claws.

Anyways, he decided to get to it through Celestia's pupil. That's right: The one, the only, the nerd, the shut-in, TWILIGHT SPARKLE! It was easy for him, he's charming and good looking, not as good looking as yours truly...but for a pony? I'll give him that much. So, he sent two of his goons out to get the infernal gem.

They got it...and the opened the box it came in. Wanna guess what that did? Set me free. It wasn't those adorable, chaotic little fillies, no. It was Star Shine's doing, I even gave him a personal visit upon my return. Turned him into a cute little Kitty Cat. Without claws and neutered of course.

So after I got sent back, I kept my stone ear close to his activities and what he was doing. Now though, he has two out of the six elements of harmony out of his way. I applaud him for that.

But, his little lovesick shut-in is on to him? How? Well let's just say a certain loud-mouth monarch saw his dirty dealings on her nightly patrols and did a little research on his bloodline.

Oooh! I'm so excited! I can't wait to see what happens next in this chaotic little slice of heaven! Hurry up you daft story-teller! Get better already, I did my part!
