Discord isn't the only draconequus looking to rule Equestria and this gal seems to want not only Equestria but Princess CelestIa's throne as well..

After Discord is turned to stone the second time, Equestria seems to return back to being peaceful once again without his chaos and destruction. However, none of the ponies or the princesses could have foreseen that Discord wasn't on his own..Another draconequus was hiding in the shadows waiting for her brother to fail so she could steal what she wanted most..Ruler of Equestria. Or maybe this wasn't what she wanted most..Perhaps there's something more waiting for her..

A little gift for my best friend Queen Zozer. This was an idea of her's that I decided to bring to life. I hope you enjoy it! :twilightsmile:

Thank you as well to Pizza Lord for allowing me to use some art he created as cover art for the fanfic!

Chapter 1: Claiming the Throne

Author's Note

Very short beginning but I'm going to go into more after. :twilightsmile:

Chapter 1: Claiming the Throne

A day filled with chaos and destruction was beginning to come to an end as Princess Celestia bid the last ponies farewell from the celebration of Discord’s return back to stone. It had only been a few hours ago since Ponyville was enveloped by chaos and already, just as she had predicted, Twilight and her friends were able to stop the Lord of Chaos and send him right back where he had come from. Peace and harmony was restored once again and Celestia’s faith in Twilight only grew more with every triumph against the evil that existed in Equestria.

She trotted down the now empty hall of stained glass windows and stopped at the new stained glass window made in honor of Twilight and her friend's victory against Discord. She levitated some curtains on a hook above the window and softly closed them, covering the newly made art away from the public once again. Although it was just introduced today, she wasn’t feeling the immense pride from it like she probably should have and chose to cover it away from pony eyes for the moment.

The Princess was headed for her chambers to retire for the night as her guards who stood at her bedroom door bowed their heads and opened the doors for her upon seeing her arrival. However, instead of just heading straight to bed, she took to her own personal library within her room, looking through the organized books and levitating a particularly heavy book off the shelf that was almost filled to the brim with pages.

“Table of contents..Table of contents..Aha. Let’s see here..” Celestia mumbled to herself.

She moved her hoof over the many words until she found a bolded title called “The Chaos Period” among the many titles. She flipped to the number indicated and found herself with a page full of information and a rather large art piece of Discord across the entire page. It didn’t seem anypony was able to capture actual pictures of Discord so they settled for creating him in their own view.

This artist seemed to be rather accurate of Discord’s face and shape of his body along with everything else such as his animal limbs and tail. It was almost as if this artist had the time to study the draconequus when he was free over a thousand years ago and kept the image in their mind to create this piece of art. Although, Celestia was a little more focused upon the information in Discord’s chapter rather than the art.

“Discord, the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony. This rare creature, the Draconequus, never seen before in Equestria was nothing of a beautiful sight as once thought. The creature had made his appearance with intentions of ruling Equestria with chaotic-like magic no unicorn could ever muster. There was no higher authority at the time so Discord was free to take over and use ponies as his puppets along with throwing Equestria into eternal chaos and destruction.” Celestia read out loud to herself.

“This had lasted for almost a decade until the new rulers, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna made their first appearance in what is now called ‘Canterlot’. These two rare alicorns were able to seal Discord away in a stone prison with the six artifacts called the Elements of Harmony.

Once turned to stone, all his destructive magic was reversed and Equestria returned back to normal once again. Soon after, the alicorns took the throne and promised their subjects they would protect Equestria from the evils such as Discord and banish them from ever laying a hoof on the ponies ever again.”

Celestia sighed. She didn’t quite like that her subjects seemed to present her and Luna in a glorious manner all the time like they never did any wrong. Sure, this information wasn’t as biased as she thought it was going to be but it wasn’t exactly what she was looking for. It was always about her and Luna..Why didn’t they just focus on somepony else for once?

The Princess turned the page, seeing the next title “The Mare in the Moon” and folded her ears, looking away from the page. Come on..There had to be more..Anything but that one. She refused to look at the next page but instead looked to the back of Discord’s page. Her eyes widened as she noticed there was a page torn behind his. That’s strange..She remembered there were usually three pages covering a moment in Equestrian history in this book..Where did the page go?

“Well..Took you long enough.” A deep feminine voice echoed around her bedroom.

Celestia raised her head, her eyes darting around the room.

“Oh my, did I startle you? Silly princess, letting your guard down is never a good choice.”

“Who are you?..” Celestia asked.

“Well, why don’t you look in your little book? I’ll give you a hint..I’m beside that chaotic loser who failed in his plans to rule Equestria.”

Celestia looked down to the torn page after Discord’s chapter and looked up again.

“It’s..Not there..It’s just a torn page.” Celestia said.

“Oh dear..What do you think happened to that page?..Perhaps somepony stole it..” The voice said, sounding almost rather smug.

“..You know what’s going on here don’t you?..What are you trying to lead me on to?” Celestia asked.

“Whatever do you think I’m trying to lead you on to, Princess?”

“No..It’s..Just answer my question.” Celestia said, starting to get a bit annoyed.

“Fine, fine, if you insist. I find the guessing games rather fun but I suppose that’s not your style now is it?”

There was a poof noise as Celestia now noticed a similar lion paw she had once seen before wrapped around her mouth, preventing her from speaking. She panicked a little as a large shadow casted itself over her and she felt the presence of a very large creature behind her. She shifted a little, trying to move her head away from the thing’s lion paw but it had a rather firm grasp on her.

“Wow, they weren’t wrong about the flowy mane. It looks like cotton candy!”

“Mmmph!”

Celestia shivered suddenly as she felt something sniff her mane.

“Sorry, I wanted to check if it actually smelled like cotton candy. Anyway, I’d rather not waste anymore time. I have plans.”

A snap noise was heard as Celestia felt the ground disappear from her hooves and be replaced with a smooth surface. She was now inside a magical bubble it seemed as she felt a little cramped from the limited space. The mare didn’t even attempt to escape. She only pressed her hooves into the magical bubble, looking down at the rather femine looking draconequus down below who was watching her with a smirk as the magical bubble floated up higher into the air.

“I suppose this is the first time you’ve seen me, right? You would have seen me before but someone ripped out my page.” The draconequus said, giving an angry glare at what seemed to be no one. “Not to worry, I’m making history right now! And I’m so glad you’re the first one to see it..”

“Who..Are you?” Celestia asked.

“Wasn’t it obvious?..The ripped out page right beside Discord’s chapter?...I’m Discord’s sister, Zozer..Queen Zozer now..”

Chapter 2: Authority Disappears

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.
