Nyx watched as Luna stood frozen in place, watching as her former love turned in fear toward the tower of harmony in the distance, a look of pure dread etched on her face as she spoke. “No…no she can’t be; she mustn’t…”

Luna made for the door, only to be stopped my Nyx, who smiled at her as she tried to advance.

“Nyx please stop, you need to let me pass…”

“I am sorry love,” said the black alicorn, “but I cannot do that, too much is ridding one what will happen here today.”

“But can’t you feel it, my sister is releasing Solaris, and if she does Canterlot will be destroyed!”

Nyx just smiled, “No she will not, not when mother is with her.”

Luna’s blood ran cold at that, and she started shaking her head as she back away from the nightmare goddess. “No…no she can’t be here, we killed her!”

Nyx chuckled merrily, “you cannot kill what is beyond life and death little moon, and mother isn’t here to do anything malicious any…”

Nyx was interrupted as Luna charged, grunting as she felt the night goddess try and push past her, only to be deftly thrown back, causing Luna growled.

“Nyx, I swear if you don’t move out of my way, I will unleash Diana on you; I swear I will!”

“Good,” said Nyx with a smile, “it has been a long time since I last let Artemis out to play, it will be nice to let him run wild again.”

Luna didn’t seem deterred; for she knew she had no choice in the matter, so with one last look toward the tower, she fell within herself, letting Diana rise to the surface as her own mind surrendered to the void.

The first thing Discordia became aware of as she re-awoke was the unbearable heat that had settled over the room, emanating from a lone alicorn whose wings, mane and tail all swirled with prime-evil fire, and whose black furred skin rippled with molten cracks like the surface of a raging volcano.

Discordia herself couldn’t help but marvel at the changes she had undergone herself; now that she had let Chaos loose upon this plane. In many ways, her new shape mimicked what Discord had been turned into when he had run into a rouge patch of her own wild energies, but her form was far grander then that…pretender could ever hope to achieve.

Her equine head was situated atop a serpentine neck, followed up by a serpentine like body covered in black scales and fur. Her limbs had changed as well, her forelegs having changed into those of dragons while her back legs had stayed the same. Her mane and tail had merged and become lick smoke, stretching upon her back all the way to the tip of her tail, billowing across her form. But the most startling changes were to her wings, and her eyes. She had grown six massive wings, the feathers of each ring shining like oil as they spread out to their full span. As for her eyes, they had changed to two mirror pools the shade of blood, no irises or sclera to speak of.

“So you are the beast my niece keeps locked away,” said Discordia as she stalked around the creature, “may I have the pleasure of knowing thine name?”

The alicorn emitted a feral roar; one whose power melted the stone in front of her as spines Discordia had not seen rose along her back, but also drawing a puzzled look from the chaos god.

“You do not speak…how odd,” she said, lifting her claw and peeking into the beasts mind, finding it a wild and feral consciousness that had not seen the light of day in thousands of years. “I see;” she said with sadness, “very well, let us…”

She never got to finish her sentence, for the beast had decided to unleash a mighty cone of flame, coating her and the surrounding room with fire and lava, the ensuring heat causing the windows of the room to shatter. But when the flames and smoke cleared, Discordia was still standing, her body glowing with heat as she let out a feral hiss.

Discordia leapt into the air, flying around the room and unleashing the blasts of her own upon the enraged beast. The beast teleported before the blasts; appearing behind Discordia and opening her jaws, digging her sharp teeth into Discordia’s neck and causing her to scream in pain.

Discordia was quick to react, her long tail wrapping around the beasts neck and ripping her away, throwing her into the air. However the beast was a lot faster then she thought, the beast quickly latching onto the end of her tail with her fangs and causing her to yell again. She waved around her tail, smacking the monster into the floor, the walls, even the roof till finally she managed to fling her off, sending her crashing into the door which had once protected the Elements of Harmony, melting it shut as the beast growled, unleashing a volley of fireballs which Discordia deflected.

However as much fun as this was for the chaos god, she had to admit she was getting a little board with the monster she was fighting, and she could sense that the wielders had all succumbed to her conversion, and it was about time to complete her game.

So she grabbed the beast with one of her claws, draining the being of all her power and returning her to her original state, Celestia panting as her mind returned to normal.

“I am sorry we have to cut this beautiful reunion short my dear niece, but I have some business I need to finish if your dear student…”

“I swear if you lay one hoof on her I will…”

Discordia tightened her grip, stopping Celestia from speaking. “As I was saying, I have business to take care of, so I am afraid I will have to leave you.”

“This is not over Discordia,” Celestia choked out, “I don’t care if you leave me like this, the moment this is all over I swear to you I will tell tTwilight all about you, and then together we will find a way to finish you!”

Discordia just laughed, “And how do you intend to do that my dear niece…when you won’t even remember we had this conversation?”

Before Celestia could speak Discordia reached up with her claw, brushing it across Celestia’s face and causing her to turn gray, her eyes going glassy as nightmares filled her mind, “no…no no no no…!”

Discordia gently lowered Celestia to the floor, taking the memories of the recent encounter from her mind as Nyx appeared behind her. “Did you take care of Luna,” she asked, eyeing her daughter as the younger alicorn sighed.

“Yes mother I took care of her, and before you ask no…I did not touch her in any way other than confrontational.”

“Good,” said Discordia, getting up and leaving the nightmare ridden pony as she turned toward her daughter. “Now go, check on our puppet and make sure he is doing what he is supposed to do, not what he wants to do.”

Nyx nodded, vanishing as Discordia teleported herself to Celestia’s chambers, looking around till she found what she was looking for and walking over to them. They were Twilight’s friendship reports, lessons she had learned on the road Celestia had sent her down which would help her gain better control of the elements, and so it was with a smile on her she began to send them to her assistant spike, knowing Twilight would need them if she was going to overcome the obstacle Discordia had thrown her.

“And now my work is done,” she said, vanishing and leaving the letters behind as they teleported one after another to the little dragon, leaving only a cackle behind to show she had ever been there.

Canterlot Castle: Moments after Discord’s defeat.

Twilight followed Luna as the young alicorn made her way worriedly up the stairs toward Celestia’s chambers, having been collected by her after the being she had realized was Celestia’s doppelganger had congratulated then on their defeat of Discord.

“Princess I need to ask, why do you look so worried?”

“You will see when we arrive Twilight,” said Luna as they reached the door, opening it and allowing Twilight to enter.

The moment she walked in she gasped, for she saw Celestia lying in her bed, her entire form grayed out and mumbling to herself as she looked on with glassy eyes.

“Tia!” screamed Twilight, running up and rapping her up in a hug, trying to get her to look at her before looking at Luna in dismay, “what happened to her!”

Luna flinched at the harshness in Twilight’s tone, but she did not hold it against her. “We do not know Twilight, but we can assume she was put under the same kind of spell you and your friends were by Discord.”

Twilight looked at her a moment, then nodded, placing her horn to Celestia’s and began flooding her mind with memories, seeing the things discord had left behind to cause her grief. The draconeques had left behind nightmares showing scenes that could never be, of Twilight leaving her, betraying her…lying to her, and many of other things she could not really see clearly, but it didn’t matter.

After a long while color finally returned to Celestia, her eyes clearing as she looked up into Twilight’s smiling face as tears of joy began to fall from her eyes, leaning up and begging to kiss her as she whispered thank you’s to her wife.

So engrossed were they in what they were doing, that they didn’t even notice when Luna left the room, but they didn’t need to, for this was a moment that they needed to be together.

Celestia moaned as she felt herself get pushed onto her back, letting Twilight deepen the kiss as she hungrily hugged her close, moaning along with her as they let their worries go.

Outside, the being Twilight had mistaken for Luna couldn’t help but crack a grin at their love, her teal eyes shimmering for a moment till they changed, revealing their true red color as she giggled evilly as she teleported to Luna’s room. “Oh how I love playing pretend,” said Discordia, planting a little kiss on Luna’s forehead as she returned to her original state, taking away the nightmares that had been keeping her asleep and leaving only good dreams behind.

“Sleep well little one,” she said, before vanishing like smoke on the wind, leaving behind nothing but the slumbering mare, dreaming of better times as they sun set below the skyline.

The two lovers rolled about on then bed, wrestling for who would be on top as they kissed each other passionately. Finally Twilight won out, breathing heavily as she gazed down at the solar mare. She began nipping and kissing down her body, drawing little squeaks and moans as she made her way down her body.

She stopped at Celestia’s teats, suckling them to the delight of her lover, who couldn’t contain tears of joy as she looked down at her wife. “I…I thought I was going to lose you…I…I had such horrible visions….”

“I saw,” said Twilight, letting her face rest between Celestia’s teats as she gazed up at her. “Those were just images, lies discord planted within your mind to make you powerless, to keep you from interfering. But your safe now, and your with me, that’s all that matters.”

Twilight them moved her body, turning herself about till she was laying atop the larger mare, her marehood within the solar goddesses reach as she lowered her own head down taking her first lick of Celestia’s dripping marehood as Celestia moved toward hers.

They both licked and caressed each other, lost within each other’s passions as they drove each other to climax, both mares drinking heartily of each other’s liquids before Twilight got up, her horn lighting up as she endowed herself and got ready to rut her lover.

Celestia was quick to role onto her belly, wanting more than anything for her mate to fill her depths, hissing with pleasure as she felt Twilight climb atop her before moaning as the younger mare entered her. The pace was slow, Twilight wanting them both to enjoy this moment as long as possible as she moved, reveling in the joyous sounds of her mate moaning underneath her.

After a while however, the slow pace began proving to torturous for the larger mare, and she made her discomfort known with an insistent wine, which was soon rewarded with a quickening of the pace. Above her Twilight growled, digging in her hooves a bit for better perches as she ferociously pounded her mate, the solar deity howling with pleasure as again and again Twilight vacated and filled her depths, driving her further and further towards her peak.

“T…Tia,” started Twilight, “I…I’m about to…”

“I know,” said Celestia with a grin, smiling as she felt her lover’s member throb hard within her walls. “Please cum…I…I want…NO!...I…I need to feel you fill me…please….”

Twilight nodded her head, understanding her perfectly and spreading up her pace, before driving herself in deep one finally time and letting loose, filling her mate with what she desired as Celestia screamed with pleasure.

Once the waves of pleasure subsided, Twilight slowly removed herself from her love, slowly walking up beside her before laying down and letting her drape her wings over her, smiling as she was wrapped within Celestia’s warmth. They kissed only once and then laid down to sleep, the sun disappearing from the sky to make way for the moon, bringing with it the realm of dreams which they happily traveled together, secure both in their love, and in the nights protective embrace.

Author's Note

This chapter was hell to write, but god dam it if it was not fun as well. A lot went down her this chapter, Nyx and Luna having a little spat (apologies to all those hoping for a fight to break out between those two) Solaris being released only to get a royal beat down by Discordia's beast Chaos, and then the two lovers finally getting reunited for a bit of love making fun. One big favor I have to ask though, I know the whole memory steeling thing is kind of an over played card in most fics, it was the only way to make sure the continuity between this fic and Truth Behind Harmony stayed intact. Also the reason why Twilight's memory spell did not bring back this particular memory for Celestia is because unlike the mane six, Discordia didn't just alter Celestia's memories, she actually took this moment in time away from Celestia, making it so that in Celestia's eyes the moment never even happened.

Anyways guys I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and remember if you have any questions or comments do not hesitate to drop them on by, you all know I love hearing from you guys.

A Quick Side Note: Those of you wanting images of what Discordia looks like in both her normal state and as her beast Chaos, I unfortunately cannot help you there. My own artistic skills are a tad rusty, and I do not have the money to commission an artist to draw her up, so for the time being you will simply have to let your imaginations do the work of creating her.
