Discord was checking his watch.

“Alright, you can continue,” Discord said, looking to Twilight, who seemed to be still processing what Discord had told her.

“...Discord, this-” Twilight began to say but Discord shushed her.

“Listen, don’t say anything, or it’ll happen, say this instead, ‘Spike knows what I’m about to say and will say it for me,’” Discord said.

“Why?” Twilight asked.

“Just do it!” Discord whispered harshly.

“Ok ok… ‘Spike knows what I’m about to say and will say it for me,’” Twilight repeated.

Suddenly Spike’s eyes widened and he looked at Twilight.

“Whoa… how… how did you do that?” Spike asked.

“What-”

“Do you mean? Is what you're about to say,” Spike said as if on impulse.

Twilight’s eyes widened.

“Discord… what is happening?” Spike asked for Twilight.

“I told you…” Discord said looking like he’d wished this could have happened later.

“You're not my dad. Stop messing around with us Discord!” Spike said, and Twilight glared at Discord.

“I’m not lying…” Discord said.

“I don’t believe you! I can’t believe you’d try to mess with me in a serious situation like this!” Twilight said through Spike.

“I’m not lying Twilight! I am your father, the Sparkle household is not your real family,” Discord said.

“LIAR! I KNOW MY HISTORY! Besides, you were imprisoned my whole life, care to explain that?” Twilight asked through Spike, expecting this to reveal the trick.

“Because I met your mother before my imprisonment!” Discord blurted out, before pausing, wondering if he should have said that.

“...I still don’t believe you, and if you aren’t going to be honest with me than I have to investigate on my own,” Twilight said through Spike and she stood up and began trotting away “Spike you don’t have to talk for me anymore,” Twilight said with her own mouth.

“Thanks,” Spike said as he followed her away.

“....” Discord sighed and teleported away and he reappeared right in front of the one he was looking to for advice.

“It’s me again… I told her, but the poor girl doesn’t believe me, what should I do?” Discord asked what was in front of him.

A statue of a regal mare.

“I have to find a way dear… you did what you had to in order to protect her, but now she doesn’t believe what’s in front of her eyes… what do I do Dawn Treader?...” Discord asked the statue forlornly.

Twilight trotted out of the castle with her head held low.

“Darn it Discord, joking at a time like this, like hay he’s my-” Twilight paused remembering that she currently has the power to warp space with her words and so she quieted..

“Yeah, although he did seem sincere,” Spike said.

Twilight just shook her head no at this and continued on.

“So, what now? Maybe just wish you didn’t have this power anymore?” Spike asked.

“Hmm, ok, I wish I didn’t have this power anymore,” Twilight said.

A few moments passed and they glanced around.

“Did it work? Try something,” Spike asked.

“Hmm…. there’s a bunny in front of me?” Twilight said as an example and a bunny appeared and ran off.

“Darn it! I said I don’t want these powers!” Twilight said “There’s two bunnies now,” Twilight said and two more rabbits manifested.

“Looks like that idea’s out,” Spike sighed.

“How… what is happening?!” Twilight said looking distressed.

“Easy now, one wrong word and we could end up in trouble,” Spike said.

“Ok ok,” Twilight shut her mouth and trotted on ‘There has to be a solution… maybe I should get the princesses here?’ Twilight thought… before suddenly Celestia and Luna fell onto her.

“AAAAH!” Twilight cried as she was buried under the two.

“What in the name of the sun?!” Celestia exclaimed at the change in environment.

“How… how did we-” Luna looked down and saw Twilight buried under them “Our apologies,” Luna said getting off of her.

“Seriously? Thoughts too?!” Twilight said as she was helped up.

“My dear student, what is the manner you summoned us? I sensed no magic,” Celestia asked sounding baffled.

“I… have a paper and pen…” Twilight said and suddenly two manifested in her hooves.

“Huh?!” Both the princesses exclaimed at the fact she summoned something without magic.

Twilight hurriedly scribbled something and hoped nothing would happen so she showed it to the two and they read it.

“I can’t speak, or something will happen!” The note said.

“...Explain,” Luna asked.

“...” Twilight raised a brow.

“Through paper, we meant,” Luna clarified.

Twilight wrote down “I’ve been having a weird day, I have been causing reality rewrites left and right and just with my words! Something has happened to me, and Discord was no help,” Twilight said through the note.

“This is troubling… so that dream was just another reality rewrite?...” Luna said outloud.

“Hm?” Twilight wanted clarification.

“You had a dream last night, it was about hydra’s right?” Luna asked.

“Mmhmm,” Twilight nodded.

“Then time is of the essence, we must get you where you cannot cause any harm accidentally,” Luna said.

“If we go back to Canterlot there will be even more ponies in danger,” Spike said.

“Then where?” Luna asked.

“Why not ask the one who knows what is happening?” Discord asked as he appeared.

“Discord?... You know what is happening?” Luna asked.

“I don’t just know, I am the reason,” Discord said.

“Then undo it,” Celestia said.

“I can’t,” Discord said.

“Why not?” Celestia said.

“Because this power is a natural extension of her being,” Discord said.

“What do you mean?” Spike asked.

“It would be easier if Twilight knew everything, Twilight, say ‘I know what is happening to me,” Discord said.

“Why?” Twilight said.

“Just do it… I didn’t want to use the absolute but I have no other way of convincing you you are my daughter,” Discord said.

“Daughter?!” Celestia and Luna exclaimed.

“Fine, if it’ll prove you wrong, ‘I know what is happening to me-’” Twilight said before she froze and her eyes widened and her eyes dilated.

“Twilight?” Celestia cautiously asked.

When her eyes undilated she stumbled back shaking her head.

“N-no… It… can’t be true!, Discord is my dad?!” Twilight exclaimed.

“What?!” Everypony else exclaimed.

“Yes,” Discord said.

“I-it’s a lie, I say it’s a lie!” Twilight said, but the alien memories remained.

“When it comes to altering things about me, it won’t work, you ensured that a long time ago,” Discord sighed.

“No…. I… I…” Twilight looked faint and then passed out.

“Twilight!” Spike exclaimed trying to shake her awake.

“The shock must have been too much for the poor girl,” Discord said.

“Discord… we need answers…” Celestia said.

“Very well, but let’s leave the public area first,” Discord said, picking Twilight up and walking away.

“Very well,” The princesses said following Discord.

Twilight woke up with a groan.

“Ugh… my head…” Twilight sat up and looked around but Discord magically sealed her mouth.

“Mmmh?!” Twilight grunted.

“I had to prevent you from affecting others at the moment, listen,” Discord said.

“....” Twilight looked up at him looking lost.

“I get that what you’ve heard is shocking but it’s true, I wouldn’t lie about it, I told Sunbutt and Moonbutt, and then sent them on their way, and now I’m telling you, so listen up,” Discord said.

“...” Twilight sat back as he began his tale.

“Looooooong ago, before Celestia and Luna were even on the throne, there was… a lovely pair of unusual… back then, there was much more stigma towards non-ponies. I was a dragon named Black Garnet… and my wife was a pony named Dawn Treader… neither of us shared the hostile sentiments our fellow dragons and ponies felt, we… loved eachother… we had conceived to show our kinds that coexistence was possible… but neither side was pleased to see what we had given birth to, in the end, a mob was sent to lynch Dawn Treader, and through allowing herself to be taken, she narrowly saved you,” Discord let a tear slip loose “I fled with you and cursed ponykind for taking her from me… so I tapped into a power that I should never have to get my revenge,” Discord said.

Twilight looked like she was still struggling to believe him, but she continued listening to him.

“I chose to unleash a powerful eldritch entity named Kath’ Eol…. I pleaded for power to avenge my wife, in exchange, I gave him thirty innocent ponies to sate his hunger…” Discord said looking ashamed.

Twilight looked horrified.

“Whatever you want to say to me, go ahead… it’s nothing compared to what I wish to say to myself…” Discord said “Afterwards he granted me the power of chaos… little did I know, he snuck an extra gift to you, the power of the absolute… essentially, anything you declare, happens, and when you said you wanted the ponies who lynched your mother dead, they all simultaneously suffered heart attacks, we both took advantage of this and began to terrorize the lands, but as you continued to use your power… it began to corrupt you, and one day you used it against me, when I tried to make you stop, and that’s how I became like this, and in the end you felt guilty and made it so i’d be immune to your power…. Then you saw how many ponies you hurt, and felt a moment of clarity, so you chose to state this…” Discord said before looking at Twilight “‘I will be reborn in a new age, without my memories, and when my dad sees me… he’ll know,’ then like that, you vanished… I know why you did it, but it still hurt to lose you… until now,” Discord said.

“....” Twilight could move her mouth again, but she was still in shock, he wasn’t lying… she could tell…

“....You can speak to check if what I said was a lie, but I think you know by now,” Discord said.

“...Why didn’t you-” Twilight began but Discord beat her to the punch to avoid any alterations.

“I didn’t tell you originally because you wouldn’t have believed me, and I was so roiled by sorrow and madness at the time… I stopped caring… but now that I’ve been made to reexperience the magic of harmony, I finally realized… I didn’t have to go at it alone… after that, it became a case of, do I tell her or don’t I?... Now that your powers have manifested, I supposed it was time I lay it all out,” Discord said.

“.....I have an idea…?” Twilight said and one manifested in her head “I can speak normally, without anything happening, as long as my right hoof is raised,” Twilight said.

“I suppose that’s in the realm of the absolute,” Discord said.

Twilight raised her hoof.

“I have a hat on,” Twilight said and no hat manifested “Ok, it worked, finally I can speak normally… now I can say this… ARE YOU SERIOUS?!” Twilight shouted surprising Discord.

“What?” Discord asked.

“My whole life…. And that is my origin… a child granted power by an eldritch source that tormented Equestria? And you are my real father…. I… I need time,” Twilight said getting up and leaving.

“Twilight-” Discord said trying to stop her but she sped up.

“NO! Leave me alone!” Twilight said as she vanished around the corner.

“...That went better than I thought at least…” Discord sighed.

Twilight staggered around and she went up to another room full of couches in the castle.

She sat down and relaxed her hoof.

“How do I respond to all this… how?...” Twilight said looking at a picture of her and her family.

Only in her mind's eye, all of them are replaced by Discord.

“NO!” Twilight knocked the picture over with her hoof.

“....I… need to…” Twilight raised her hoof “Get my head on straight, even if what Discord said is true… it doesn’t mean I have to cater to it… I know who my family is!” Twilight said with determination before lying down and taking a rest.
