Madness 101

It was a bright and sunny day in the small town of Ponyville. Ponies rushing down the street, the air nice and breezy courtesy of the pegasi. Our story begins with Twilight, all cooped up in her Library, enthralled in a stack of books that Princess Celestia sent her.

"Wow, so much to read. Let's see what the Princess sent me..." Twilight shuffled through the stack of books. "The Magic of Swordsmanship, How to make a Curved Sword....Spell Tome: Chain Lightning, why on Equestria would I want to learn that? The History of Tamriel?" Twilight was puzzled at the name of...wherever that is. "Why would Celestia be in ownership of such a book?" She decided to put the rest of the books away, and take a good long look at the book. "Chapter 1: The Beginning of Tamriel." Twilight relatively skimmed through most of the book, but one chapter caught her eye. "Chapter 23: Daedric Princes?" Twilight looked at the chapter with earnest. "Azura, Mephala, Nocturnal, Mehrunes? Hmm. Sounds more like someone that Discord would bring along with him. Huh? What's this? Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness?" Twilight looked at Sheogorath's small background. "Created by the change or destruction of an Aedra? Maybe the opposite of a Daedra?

The day rolled on, Twilight reading about the two craziest Daedric Princes in the book, Sheogorath, and Sanguine, the Prince of Debauchery. There was a knock at the door a few hours later, "Come in!" Rainbow Dash flew into the Library at an amazing speed. She landed shortly after, wondering what Twilight was so interested in. "Rainbow! You will not believe what I just read for about half the day." "What is it?" "A book on the history of someplace called Tamriel." "Ugh, boring, what else did you read all day?" "Nothing more." "But, what was so INTERESTING about it?" "The Daedric Princes." "The Dae-...what?" "The Daedric Princes. Here read it." Twilight flipped to back to the articles about the Daedric Princes, and made Rainbow Dash read it. She got bored after the second sentence. "I'm bored. Bye." Rainbow Dash gave the book back to Twilight and dashed off. Twilight rolled her eyes. "No respect for literature..."

In the garden where Discord was imprisoned, due to the Elements of Harmony, the statue stood cold and and tall. Inside the prison, lived Discord. "Oh I'm so bored in here. Why couldn't I just get some friends...?" Discord paced around inside the statue, doing whatever he can to keep himself from being bored. "Nightmare Moon, or as we all know and love her, 'Princess LUNA' was forgiven, why not me? I'm a good person. Well...I could be. If they would let me just mess around with some stuff,,," Discord looked into the library he was given in his imprisonment. "Hmph, for your entertainment. I hate reading. I don't know why Celestia gave me this to read. I absolutely HATE reading. Hmm, let's see what form of torture Celestia left." Discord looked through the books, uninterested at any of them. "The History of Equestria, the Sixteen Houses of Madness, Alice in Wonderland, Cupcakes, The Rise and Fall of the Blades, what's this?" Discord picked up the book. with the title in golden text, ""Daedric Princes" Discord reluctantly opened the book, and began to read it.
