Ballad of Serenity

Innuendo? in your endo!

Discord paced back and forth. Occasionally he would start to voice his thoughts.

"Celestia, I just want you to know.... no it doesn't sound right" He stopped to stare out of the window, watching the wind pick up leaves that drifted along the beaten path to Sweet Apple Acres.

after a while, He continued to think about what he wanted to say.

Darkness  was coming.

He knew it, Celestia Knew it, and by the fates he would not let it happen again.

He pulled a pen and paper out of hammer space and began writing.

he wrote page after page of different speeches...

each one  a different variant of the same thing.

A confession.

one of love, sorrow and regret.

Out of his peripheral vision he could see Scootaloo running frantically towards the library.

He looked at the newly finished house in the distance, and made his way towards it.

slowly he opened the door, hearing the groan of pain coming from the sofa.

"Son? are you alright?" Discord asked. he received a slightly pained "fuck off Dad" as a reply.

Discord said nothing, and sat down. he looked to his son with slight worry.

"sounds like Magic drain, and a bad one too"

"Memory Share... hurts like a bitch" Crisis said quietly.

just then, Scootaloo entered with Twilight in tow, Twilight then looked at the stallion sitting next to Crisis. "Magic drain, he'll be fine" The mares then watched as the Stallion pulled a bizarre looking potion out of no-where. "Have him Drink this, oh and Ms Twilight... I never got to say... Thank you"

Twilight looked at Discord, confused until he struck a pose mirroring his statue.

"I'd do it again... If I could" She said solemnly.

Discord Raised an eyebrow. "the elements had to Be passed down, Scootaloo and her friends got one each... the other two were also chosen, Its just... mine that needs to be passed"

Discord then gave the mare a slight smile. "well, seeing as you two already know who Brought him here," He Snapped his fingers, returning to his previous, malformed, mismatched body. "i may as well come clean" He bowed his head low.

Scootaloo was off in the other room administering the medicine. making sure that he drank all of it. then she kissed his forehead. as she did so, she listened in on the conversation.

"Discord? but... your encased in stone? how did..." Twilight trailed off, Inspecting the draconequus. "What happened to you?" He placed a talon-less eagle claw on her shoulder, and with a faint glow of his gnarled horn, he cast the same spell.

He then Pulled the now crying mare into a hug. "I'm so sorry for showing you that... now you see why I look like crap"

"Like Father, Like Son" I Chuckled out. Twilight looked at me with a small grin. "Your not that bad, Bubblegum"

"Suppose so" i stood up with a slight grunt, but then decided to just Pull Scootaloo onto my lap. "Dad, Did you Find out who the other elements are?"

the strange being simply nodded. "Are you going to tell me?"

he shook his head. "Applebloom and Sweetie Belle are two of them aren't they"

Discord then simply gave him a pat on the back and left with a snap of his talons.

"so, that just leaves three... marvelous" Crisis sighed.

all I knew was, I felt amazing, hell everything felt amazing.

Scootaloo, her fur on mine, her on my lap... well, something was going on because she was blushing furiously. "Did my Dad just Prank me with something?"

Twilight Looked a little flustered.

"I'll Leave you two alone" she hurried out of the house as quickly as she could.

"any Idea's what it was?" she asked, with a slight shake in her voice.

"Knowing him it could have been anything, He likes chaos" I surmised

"Could you stop...Poking me?" her voice trembled, as she took note of where my hands were.

"In case you haven't noticed my hands are up here and ooooooh dear lord I know what I'm poking you with"
