Twilight And The Beast

The sun was beginning to rise, as a levander alicorn was waking up at the table, she then let out a yawn. “What time did I even fall asleep?” she asked herself looking around. She got out of her chair walking towards the door, as she opened the door she got splashed by water. She groaned as the bucket fell covering her head her horn slotting into a hole in the bottom of the bucket.

“Well good morning to you buckethead,” Discord snicked.

“Good morning Discord” Twilight said sarcastically.

“Well I only said good morning to not be rude, but anyway where are you going today?” Discord asked, looking at the levander alicorn.

“I’m going to canterlot why do you want to know?” she said, looking back at him.

“Let me guess you're going to see your precious princess,” he said coldly, a frown forming on his face.

“Yes there are some things I would like to discuss with her,” Twilight said. “and turn those candy canes back into carrots!!”she said raising her voice, noticing the candy canes were in a carrot box in the market.

“Fine!! But I do wonder what you're going to discuss I'm quite intrigued,” he said, turing the candy canes back into carrots.

“I would like to ask her about-”

“About what?” Discord interrupted.

“I’m going to ask her about your past” Twilight said.

Discord looked suprised but complied.“Well there are parts that even she doesn't know about my past,” he sighed, taking a deep breath. “Do you wanna hear a tale?”

“I suppose getting your side of the story would help” she said. “o’k i would like to hear it”

“It's sort of a sad tale,” he sighed again. “Eons ago before there was even a Hearth's warming Eve, me and my kind lived in a snowy part of the land, and because of the three races fighting amongst each other the windigos gained enough power to create a strong eoungh blizzard wiped out my kind. I was about seven years old when it happened when I became the last of my kind. I've traveled to Equestria but when I got their I was greeted with cries of shocks and nasty names there was only two that accepted me, an eight year old Filly named Celestia and a four year old named Luna, but that was before they could lower or rise the sun and moon,” he finished his story.

“That’s horrible” Twilight said as tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Yes, I was the only one that lived the rest of the draconeqi lost their lives in the icy lands, even my parents and siblings perished, but hey I accepted the fact that I'll only be known as a monster in Equestria,” Discord said starting to tear up.

He felt somepony hugging him “You’re not a monster you just made some wrong turns anypony could do that” Twilight said with a small smile, trying to comfort the draconequus.

“Anyway you better get to Canterlot, I'll just get you there,” he snapped his fingers as he and Twilight disappeared.

They reappeared at the doors of Canterlot castle.

“Thank you Discord i’ll see you later,” Twilight said about to enter the castle.

“Who said I'm going anywhere? I'm coming with if you don't mind?” Discord said.

“Oh of course not, lets go then,” Twilight said as she opened the doors with her magic.

“You think she'll be happy to see me?” Discord chuckled nervously.

“I don't know but we’ll see in a moment” Twilight replied as they reached the doors to the throne room.

“We'll let's get in, I feel like I'm getting goosebumps,” he said, slowly opening the doors.

When the doors opened they were greeted with something very surprising “yes auntie i’ll get you that double chocolate fudge cake” cadence said, “I’ve been needing to stretch my legs for ages anyway”

“Twilight who's this?” Discord asked pointing to the new occupant in the room.

“That’s my old foal sitter cadence” Twilight replied. “i didn’t know she would be here”

He disappeared from Twilight's side and appeared in front of Cadence. “Hello there I'm Discord the spirit of chaos and disharmony, how are you?” He introduced himself to Cadence.

Twilight facehoofed “wait aren’t you that statue from the garden?” Cadence asked.

“Former garden decoration, those two princess wanted to try to reform me,” he said, pointing to the two sisters.

“Reform does that mean you’re evil?” she asked, looking at him.

“Well I told Twilight I said I'll always be known as a monster in Equestria but she thinks I'm not, how strange am I right?” Discord said.

“I never said you were a monster I simply asked if you are still evil” Cadence said.

“Anyway look who I brought for a visit,” he snapped his fingers and Twilight appeared next to him. “Ta-da.”

“Twilight it’s been to long since i’ve seen you” Cadence said before saying, “sunshine sunshine ladybugs awake clap your hooves and do a little shake” she sang as twilight joined in.

“What was that?” Discord asked confused.

“It’s how me and Cadence greet each other” Twilight said.

“Remind me to disappear when that happens,” he said, gaging a little.

“Hello Twilight what brings you here?” a voice from behind them asked.

Discord cleared his throat, looking at Celestia with a cold glare.

“I came here to talk to you” Twilight said. “I talked with Discord yesterday and I decided I needed to come here to ask you this” Twilight took a deep breath “were you and Discord friends?”

“Yeah she was a real friend making me feel unwanted,” Discord huffed.

“We were once before he let his chaotic nature take over he severed our bond as friends, when he took over equestria” Celestia said.

“I only let Chaos into my life because one: I was born with it an two: all you did was study magic and let other ponies laugh at my appearance!” He said, temper boiling, anyone could see his face going fully red with anger.

“Discord calm down” Celestia half demanded.

“Calm!! Down!!” Discord yelled before disappearing.

“Well that could have gone better” Cadence said.

“No kidding” Twilight said sarcastically “i’m going to go find him” she said, before galloping off.

Discord was sitting on his old pedestal in the Canterlot gardens the only place he felt safe when he was younger. “How I miss the old days,” he said to himself, still sitting.

“Discord!!” he lifted his head up looking around he saw twilight galloping towards him.

“What do you want?” Discord asked looking away from Twilight.

“I was worried about you so i came to check on you” Twilight said.

“You're the first that's actually cared, not faked it like some high class alicorn that's weaker than me,” he said in a gentle tone.

“Well friends do care about each other” Twilight said.

“Let's get one thing straight we aren't really friends, you're just watching over me waiting to use the elements, plus I don't believe in friendship anyways,” he said, tone getting highly raised.

“Well i do believe in friendship and even if i’m not your friend, you’re definitely my friend” Twilight said.

“Well I've always said every creature for themselves, because if you don't feel friendship, then you don't feel the pain of losing a friend,” he said, putting his head down.

“But if you don’t have friends in the first place you’ll just have an equally bad feeling in its place” she said, looking at him concerned.

“Like you only cared about books instead of friends at first,” he retorted.

“The reason i became so devoted to books was to cover up that loneliness with a philosophy that i only needed books but when i realized what it was like to have friends all that loneliness came back but then i met my friends and that loneliness disappeared” she said. “you try to drown your loneliness with chaos it’s not all that different”

“I'm going to show you something from five days after I met Celestia, when I was seven,” he snapped his fingers revealing a few scars. “Unicorn colts and fillies did that, while Celestia was studying. Because of what I looked like, a freak,” he said, tears coming to his eyes.

“You are not a freak you are just different there is nothing wrong with that and if Celestia still ignored you then that's her fault not yours” Twilight said, hugging Discord. “she may not have been a good friend but there are lots of ponies who like to be friends with you, that would be good friends”

“I guess, consider it considered, I've got to go back home anyway, goodbye and thank you,” he disappeared, leaving Twilight alone in the garden.
