Distrusting Harmony: Legend of Despair
Prologue: Setting the Stage
In an endless space, someone wandered looking for something to elevate the curse that will kill them; boredom. Eventually, they discovered a unique fragment of the usual story but this story was indeed different, to say the least. This fragment took two words 'what if' to create an endless possibility. What if Discord escaped being turned to stone a second time? What if the Cutie Mark Crusaders still formed but something changed? What if Queen Chrysalis was overthrown sooner and died? What would happen if the Princesses faced the greatest threat after building the School of Friendship dreams? Many what ifs were put into this fragment of reality. The being smiled not like your usual happy smile but a smile of cruelty. The being after watching the fragment decided to make some 'adjustments'.
"That filly's existence was erased from peoples minds but what if someone were to remember her existence?"
"Let's combine the powers of Harmony and Chaos and see what happens."
"Why settle for one? Why not two ponies to remember her but it should happen at different times and for different reasons."
"Well let the games begin!"
Diamond Tiara's Point of View
In a small pink lobby with many cute toys
"Why am are you here Princess Luna?!" exclaimed Diamond Tiara
Princess Luna stated, "I supposed I haven't told you... remember last week!"
"I'm telling you she really did exist and I~I killed her!!!" shouted Diamond Tiara
Princess Luna continued "That's only part of the reason apparently after several tests it's been noted that you had contacted Discord... unintentionally of course!"
Diamond Tiara shouted once more, "So you're saying I'm now a chaos spirit or whatever!"
"No, I'm suggesting nothing of the sort. After your parents were arrested we had a terrible thought. What if Discord truly is dead and his magic is trying to find a new vessel? It makes sense your lifestyle before your parents' arrest and you inherited their money you must have considered yourself as a puppet." Luna said with a weird air too it.
Diamond Tiara felt her rage boiling up but she managed to calmly or at least as calmly as she could yell, "So you're saying that she's just a representative of my guilt towards how I acted! I know she existed if only I wasn't so petty and messed with the gliders! The worst thing is no one knows she existed and now... now... WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TOO DO!!! TELL ME, PRINCESS LUNA HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO COPE!!!"
Luna feeling pity for the former bully said: "If she truly existed find some evidence then maybe you could jog your classmates' memories of her."
Silver Spoon then came barging through the front door of the mansion yelling, "Diamond why do you get to talk to Princess Luna!"
"Silver Spoon right now I can't deal with this... I'm going to bed..."
In Diamond Tiara's dream, she heard questions though strange she knew that some were kind to her and others hated her. It was the only thing preventing the nightmares of her sin... she answered all the questions she could though tonight was pretty unclear. Most ponies would think they were going insane... especially knowing as it's been a week going on for a week the same amount of time since everyone's memories were seemingly wiped of her victim... Diamond Tiara cried it may seem natural too other ponies but it's was an unknown feeling for her...
Cheerilee screamed, "Diamond dinner is ready!"
Cheerilee has been taking care of Diamond Tiara since she found out about how Diamond was treated, a puppet known as an heir, the entire class was pitching in due to her supposedly going 'insane'...
Three Years Later Rumble's Point of View
"It's been three years since Diamond Tiara's mental breakdown", Rumble thinks, "Well guess I should go look in the yearbooks for old times save after all the school was pretty much replaced with the school of friendship."
Rumble gathered all his yearbooks counting from one year ago to five years ago. At first, it was pretty normal until he got to four years ago where he noticed an extra desk.
"Stange huh? Times like this and I questions appear in my head."Rumble stated, "Well, the sun is almost up it's time to get ready to go to school."
Meanwhile in the Everfree Forest
A small run down chicken coup with an oddly clean and strong fence around it was... well... a chicken
"Cock-a-Doodle-Doo!” a small filly yelled as high and loud as she can.
“I-It hurts my throat s-so bad every time…O-ow.” the filly whimpered before going back into her coop and perching herself on her roost.
“I can’t risk oversleeping like that. I don’t want to get whipped again.” the young pegasus cried sadly to herself.
Who is this child you ask? Well, this young Pegasus is Scootaloo. Rainbow Dash's protege, and an official member of the of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
…Or at least, she used to be until the tragedy that is known only as Discord struck.
Scootaloo hated her new life... she hated being a reduced to a pet...she hated her 'master'... and most of all she hated her friends for abandoning her after all they never bothered to look for her. She had hope for the first few days but days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months and on month four Discord showed her that no one really cared about her... if they did there should have been at least one missing poster. She was crying until she heard stone cracking?
"What the hey," Scootaloo whispered tears running down her cheek. After a bit of walking, she saw Discord in stone and a mysterious pony doing something with the Elements of Harmony and the statue. She hid after hearing what sounded like glass shattering Scootaloo looked again.
"I know you're there," said the mysterious pony, "I'm here to put you in my game"
"WHAT GAME!!!"Scootaloo "YOU KNOW WHAT I HAD TO DEAL WITH FOR THREE YEARS"
"Yes that's why you will be the prime piece in this story I will write," the pony chuckled.
Before Scootaloo realized it she became suddenly sleepy.
"That's right fall to sleep! It's punishment time!" the pony yelled maniacally, "After all there's no hope in sight."
With the last of her strength, she cried, "Why... me..."
Remaining Survivors ???
