I couldn’t believe my eyes… the pain, the suffering— the trouble I went through… everything I had hoped to uncover turned into a bittersweet end.

“I know, unbelievable right? How could the Lord of Chaos feel the need to end his life? Honestly, I don’t have an answer for that. Things just don’t go our way sometimes. Life has a funny way of telling you that whenever you hope for something good. That’s why we’re always told to never get our hopes up.”

I bit my lip as my eyes watered, and I had started sobbing so hard I could barely read the letter.

“It’s silly isn’t it? I know by the time you girls find me, chances are you’ll think I’m playing some sick joke on you guys in order to see “how much you care about me”... and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that’s not how this story is going to end. Twilight, Fluttershy, Apple Jack, Rarity, Pinkie, and Rainbow Dash… whichever one of you read this first: I am okay. Sure, I’m dead, but chances are… I’m at peace. Mourn, yes, but don’t grow depressed. I’ve lived thousands of years, but out of all the centuries I’ve lived, I have never been as happy as I’ve been with the six of you. Kind of contradicting when it comes to what I’ve done, right? A little, but hear me out.”

I was honestly considering ripping the letter up, tossing it away, and never looking at it again… but I knew I needed to finish it.

“I’m the Lord of Chaos… the embodiment of Discord… and the Spirit of Disharmony. I have never fit in with your bundle of friendship, harmony, and peace. A creature like me has no place in a world built to be perfect. I know, I know, you shouldn’t ever worry about what everypony thinks… but for me? It was overwhelming. I just couldn’t handle the reminder that I was meant for nothing. I’m sorry. I really am. It’s not my intention to hurt any of you, you know that.”

But you did, Discord. You did.

By the time Luna opened the portal again, both her and Dash took note of my shaken-up appearance. They didn’t even have to ask what was wrong, because by the time I stepped out of his dimension, I was already a mess.

"I love you. I love you all so much. And if I really want to be honest… You were the bestest friends I could ever ask for. Thank you.

- Discord."
