The Reckoning

A lone statue sat in a garden, it's face frozen in a state of pure terror frozen on it's face. The creature this statue embodied was that of a draconequus, but it was no ordinary statue,  This statue held the God of pure chaos, Discord.  Having once tried to plunge Equestria into eternal chaos he had been thwartedby Twilight Sparkle and her little band of ponies and thrust back into a state of eternal prison  by their  Pathetic Elements of Harmony. However he could hardly call a  path of magic that trapped one in stone pathetic. He had almost managed to harness their power before Twilight Sparkle had interfered and thrust him back into this prison.  Curse you Twilight.  He thought as this stupid look was plastered on his face. This close,  only five more minutes and Equestria would have been mine for all of Eternity.  Well, at least until the Reckoning.  How long until that? I believe it should be about twelve days. Yes, twelve days until I am once again free from this prison.   Being an omniscient  being was quite useless when there was nothing to  do with it, having all that knowledge but being trapped in stone.  Though with all his knowledge he could never figure out how the Elements of harmony worked.

Twilight Sparkle and her friends proved to be quite the nuisance.  If only there was something I could do, to go back in time then Equestria would be mine. If only I could get out. Out of this stone cold prison,  Bound in eternity to let me reflect.  That Princess and her meddling ways! OH CELESTIA WHY!  He took a deep breath in his stone prison.  Though on the outside  he was frozen, on the inside he was free to wander about in a field of neverending blackness.  Patience. Patience was all he needed, You waited eons to escape.  You can wait twelve days.  Twelve days and then Chaos shall flood throughout the  planet.   Though if Only I had an eye. An eye into the chaos.  As Discord walked along the blackness a pinprick of light appeared in the distance. Could it be? A crack? A flaw in the Elements of Harmony's prison?He rushed over and   basked in the wonderful light.  At last something to work with, something to  see what was going on out there. He stroked the crack with his paw and felt the energy of the light flow out. What's this?  There is time displacement in this crack. If I send a form out then it might not actually reach Equestria until....  Discord smiled, perfect. This will do just nicely.

Discord let his energy flow out  of the crack and into  the world  behind it. Finally something to stave off this boredom.  He closed his eyes and  drifted into sleep as he let his consciousness drift into the world behind the crack.

??? before the Reckoning

Outside smoke  gathered around the statue of a smug draconequus and formed itself into a unicorn. The unicorn stood tall as it opened it's eyes to the world around it.  It looked about trying to find out exactly what time it was.  The unicorn took a step and tried not to fall on his face. It had never walked on four legs before. Two legs had always been the way to go, or even floating.  The Unicorn looked  back at his flank, wondering if a cutie mark as  was so popular had appeared upon it. He looked and saw nothing, but he knew better than that. Though his coat was black, his cutie mark was that of a black hole, the perfect symbol for chaos.

The Unicorn smiled as it took a couple more steps and then entered into a full gallop.  With a smile his horn lit up with blackness and  his form disappeared in a poof of smoke.  The black stallion looked up, it was night about now, and the moon was full,  But there was a strange  shape in the moon. It looked like  a mare, but he couldn't tell  perhaps someone else might know, he'd have to ask a pony later. For now, he had to start his journey to Ponyville, that's where the collective knowledge on the Elements of Harmony were.

Perhaps all that study was not for naught, I can still  use what I know, and learn more from that book in Twilight's library, though if I'm correct Twilight still lives in Canterlot... Perhaps I should pay her a visit.
