Prologue

                                The sun shines brightly in the heart of the everyfreeforest where all superstition activity accure. The image was not clear by the sun beam of light but a dragon figure fly across the sun and stopped in the middle of it, looking around and gaped remembering the forest pattern and left the sun's company. The dragon body mix by other mythological creatures stop once again and tap the air, it sounded like he was tapping on glass but truthfully he was tapping on a magic shield invisible for any other pony to see. He tapped a melody of the theme song from My little pony, after that the shield made a small opening letting him in and then closed when he entered.

       Inside the shield it show something else beside tall trees surrounding the area it showed a small shed house similar from fluttershy's. He hover in mid-air admiring his home. It's not much but this house has something no other original bad guy have, a beautiful garden with many type of flowers line up perfectly also a tree at the end of the garden and it's not like any other trees you can find in the everyfreeforest. This tree has lazy long leaves surrounding the trunk, you have to shub away the leaves to get through and once inside it's just wonderful if you were inside the first thing you notice is the cool breeze, soft soil, and sparkling ceiling by the sun's light finding any opening so the light can share the same experience.

        He smile while licking the only pointy tooth he have sticking out, his white pupils focus on his home, sorrounded by red and yellow. He land gently opening his front door. "honey Im home!" He said proudly opening the door wide open while stepping inside. A excited unicorn run straight at him giving him the hug he expected from his beloved wife. Her mane and tail is colored baby blue also her coat. "Discord I was worry about you I thought they got you or something bad happen to you or you forgot about me and your son or-" She became silent after Discord shush her gently while brushing her mane. Her purple crystal eyes stared at his, he simply smile and she smile in return.

         Their smile slowly fade while their face draw nearer giving each other a passionate kiss that only lasted for seconds,  interrupted by a foal cries. Discord sigh of disappointment while his wife giggles "c'mon dizzy let's meet your son" She said while dragging Discord. Her attempted for dragging him to her child failed, she decided to push him instead "Cristell Im not ready still how about tomorrow" begged Discord letting Cristell practically carrying him. Cristell Is now carrying him up the stairs "stop...ac-ting...like a child. your a dad now Diz-zy" Cristell said mustering the words carrying the heavy Discord.

         Cristell finally made it at the top to only be abandoned, Discored flew down the stairs giving her a gentle smile but it immediately turn into worry seeing Cristell fighting off her tears. Discord flew up to check on Cristell but she ran to the nearest door and slam it closed. He sigh and knock the door Cristell entered but no answere. He took a deep breath and open the door "Cristy I-I uh-" Discord stop and stare at the young foal Cristell is holding up towards him no longer in tears neither do Cristell. His body is like any other foal probably from his mother side maybe her traits also but he knows for certain he got his father eyebrows color for his mane and tail, white, but he did notice they both have that only pointy tooth also, his pupils are white but one is little bigger than the other, his iris is mixed with purple and red a little green but it's still lovely but good thing his sclera is plain white because that will add more suspicion and his body color is dark grey, not to mention hes a unicorn.

         "soo?" Cristell ask, Discord look confuse tho. She only chuckle for his silliness "soo what do we name him" Cristell corrected drawing the foal closer to him forcing Discord to carry the little foal. The small, yound cute colt reached out to his father. Discord slowly carry him into his arms while his son finds comfort from his dad arms and snuggle into sleep. Cristell nuzzle her son belly chuckleling the young colt "so what do we name him?"  Cristell ask waiting for his response. He just stared at his son "I know exactly what to name him" he said pointing skyward. Cristell chuckle in disbelief "oh really"

Discord raise him up still fast asleep "let's call him distroyer No! Dismay or how about distruction!" He continue on naming anything that start with "Di" even if the word does not start with "Di"

           Cristell roll her eyes of such childish act but that part of the reason she married him. She trotted toward Discord and silence her husband from random names some were even being ridicules "how about...Dill" Cristell said already loving the name but Discord doesn't seem to like that name "Dill? really" Discord complained "with all the names why that?" Cristell scowl at him "well why did you mention all the names from your first two initials!" Discord started to shrink smaller waiting for her next rage to burst out but he was wrong. Cristell took a deep breath and relaxed "I just thought what if I add my last two initials and it be Dill" she smile blushing realizing it is a silly name. "I think that's a wonderful name" Discord said with a soothing tone while wrapping his body around them, his body heat made her feel safe and convince that her troubled life will soon disappeared.

          Both Cristell and Discored sleep waiting for Celestia to raise the sun but the sun rise was delay. A pounding sound was heard down stairs. Discord was alerted to defend yet confuse who on earth has enough magic to break his magic barrier then it flicker...Celestia. He turn to face Cristell to tell what he knew to only be disturbed by her hug, she know already. She tighten her hug and kiss him "take care of Dill" Cristell said tense of the situation and trotted to the door "Cristell do realize whose out there-"

"yes I do and that's why you must stay here whit Dill" Cristell cut off Discord obvious warning.

          Discord looked at Dill handmade crib made from woods and leafs, Dill just sleep unaware of current situation. Discord looked at Cristell worried and concern "promise me Cristell...that you'll comeback" Discord pleaded. She just stood there then headed outside her room leaving him unanswered. She close the door behind her and use her magic to turn the door to a usual wooden wall. She can't promise that she'll be back in one peace because she wasn't certain that she would.

         She turn to look at the dreadful stairs and slowly hoof step down stairs, each hoof step made a loud squeak that made her noticeable when. She reached the bottom floor She gulp watching princess Celestia standing there patiently for her arrival but beside her where equestrians guard stand and ready. Celestia raise an eyebrow questioning why is she frozen in place, Cristell shook her head awake and bow to her "Is too late to bow don't you think after all you are a fugitive so there's no point in bowing" Celsetia said staring her with the eyes cold than ice freezing her heart but the fire in her was too strong to give in "what do you want Celestia!" Cristall intimated. The guard sweat a little still holding their ground, by saying her name instead of princess was mock of her royalty but for Celestia was not surprise

         "I see you've lost your manners skipping around with him" Celestia said raising her voice but Cristell haven't flinch or fear her only thing that matter is to protected Dill of all couse. "Why do you care...Celestia!" Celestia eye twitch with anger "I know why you here and no hes not here we know you'll find us eventually so-"

"so he left you because he have no use in you anymore" Cristell sigh and smile "I feel sorry for you" Celestia looked puzzled by this "you still don't know nothing you don't know the real criminal is out there, you don't know about me and you clearly don't! know anything about Discord" the words Cristell spoke frighten the guard and Celestia lost it. Her teeth grinded and got close to Cristell but she still smile like shes enjoying every last of it. "I don't think you understand your so called husband killed hundred of citizens and almost the world" Celestia said raising her voice "It wasn't him it was someone else" Cristell said almost shouting "THEN! who?! tell me who?!" Celestia yelled "I don't! know but he save US-ALL! from death" Cristell said.

           The scream from below couse Dill to cry but Discord quickly cover his mouth shushing him but the sound wave have reached Celestia ears. Her ears flicker and concentrated to the direction where it came from "what was that?" Celestia question "guard go up stairs if im not mistaking it came from there"

"Yes your haynes" the guard rush up stairs to check the origen of the mysterious sound. Cristell stayed calm not even the slightest worry but this tick off Celestia "What was that sound?" she ask "I don't know, probably something fell or something" Cristell said calmly but in reality she's terrified.

          The guard search the upstairs nothing but a closet and a bathroom still couldn't find the mysterious sound as they kept on searching one of the guard saw a unfamiliar image this one the door like area have vertical wood crack and the rest are horizontal. Cristell notice but still calm yet she have an idea. She yawn "C'mon hurry up I want to go to bed already" Cristell said. each of those words fuel Celestia with rage "guards that's enough you may come down now" Celestia said maintaining her tempere therefore the guard loose interest of the suspicious door.

          "Can you go know im no used to you I don't know where's discored but I do know he left trying to find a way to clear his name. So please leave" Cristell demand and Celestia about to do as told but alicorn Twilight sparkle entered, she look more older than usual like in her twenties. "she's lying" Twilight said "how!" Cristell yell "Well because how come the shield was well intacted if Discord wasn't here and im sure you don't have the capability to have the spell that strong the only solution is that Discord is still around here or your stalling" Cristell was relief that Twilight said the word "stalling" so she could tell them a fake direction and leave her with her husband and child to a different hiding spot. "We can't take our chances im going to see trough Cristell memory to check where's his location" Celestia said readying her horn.

           Cristell eyes widen in panic "No! please don't do this you don't understand. me and him where a family if you execute  him he will grow up without a father. please im begging you!" Cristell started to sob "that monster he hypnotize her to bare him a child so he can carry on his legacy" Twilight said to Celestia ignoring Cristell. Cristell don't know what to do so she ran, anywere but here to protected Dill and Discord but she was tackle by the guards, holding her down. She struggle to escape but it was futile "please don't I really do love him please believe me" Cristell sobed but no response. Celestia horn glow brighter touching Cristell forhead. Cristell eyes roll back breathing heavily still conscious "Impossible doesn't everypony faint when expose to that magic" Twilight ask "It doesn't matter I could see her memories...but having trouble seeing it" Celestia said focusing all her magic into her.

          Flash backs from her past apear fastfoward filly into mare and her love life...Discord the day they met, the day they dated and the day they fell in love. "T-Twilight...what will happen to my...son" Cristell voice crack. Twilight was silence for a moment "...we can't risk him destroying equestria again sorry but he have to die-" Cristell grave Celestia head and the last image both Celestia and Cristell saw was Dill, Discord and Cristell hugging each other while Dill rest peacefully on Discord arms but all that turns to black when a loud crack noise was heard. Cristell forhead was pierce by Celestia horn, her body ley there bleeding from her forhead...dead.

         Twilight gasp closing her eyes shut to erase the scene she have witness. Celestia step away of the colorless mare once full of life then permanently grey. Discord have heard the sound not sure what it was but it worries him by a huge struggle into complete silence. "Celestia...did she...just-" Twilight said "Kill her self..." Celestia finish her sentence. Her heart used to be full with rage but now into guilt, knowing she have just killed a mother by her own ambition. "Cristell why?" Twilight ask turning to Celestia hoping she have the answere she desperately wants. Celestia shook her head removing her guilt and sorrow and pin it to. "Discord! that basterd!" Celestia sob "He made her his puppet and he couldn't risk anypony knowing his location" Celestia lie she knew exactly what happen, Cristell told the truth Discord has move on and made a family but she was persistent.

         "That monster. Princess we must find him before he kills again. Argh! I can't stand seeing another one die by...by that heartless creature" Twilight bursted but shush by her mentore "please Twilight, call me Celestia for now on..." Twilight looked confuse waiting for an explanation...but no response. Discord heard every word of it. Heart brocken, devastated he just want to fall crying but he can't risk it. He fight of the tears away but by each tear sweep felt like his heart was being squeez. "Hammers!, Nails! come here I have a task for you" Celestia yelled out her lower rank solders. A skinny earth pony trotted between the more muscular guard and toward Celestia saluting "Hammers here ready for duty" Hammers said like any other obedient solder act yet hes facing the wall, maybe because his eyes are block by the helmet of his.

           "Hammers where's Nails" Celestia ask but her question was already answere seeing agiant earth pony taller than the guards. "Im here your haynes" said Nails pushing aside the other guard and soluting to Celestia with the wrong hoof. Hammers raise his helmet letting him to see and notice his facing the wall, he quickly adjusted his helmet and corrected his mistake. No longer facing the wall. he salute Celestia but once again his helmet fell covering his eyes "Hammers and Nails at your service!" said Hammers and Nails. "Take this task seriously you two" Celestia said. It didn't take long for Nails to notice the dead corpes "princess do you want us to berry that body too" Nails question and answere back by a nod. "What!" Hammers lifting his helmet getting a good view of the corpes "Celestia we berry thousands of bodies back in equestria. How many you killed because-" Hammers was cut-off by Twilight scowl. "Okay we'll start berrying the body" Hammer said in defeat "C'mon Nails let's berry this one too" Hammer nudge to Nails a signal to say "get the shovel"

              "Thank you after this you two deserve a long brake" Celestia offer. "Yeah, yeah, yeah let's just get this over with." Celestia and her remainding guard left the cabin back to equestria to track Discord. Discord tighten his fist all he could think of is ways for killing Celestia and everything she hold dear make her suffer what he suffered right in this very moment. His anger quickly died relizing that he will prove their point if he seek revenge theirs only one thing he could do know...and that is to live a normal life with his son just what cristell wanted.

               "Damn! why are we doing this anyway" Hammers complain "u-hm to get some fine mares...that what I think you said" Nails said tapping his chin with his fore hoof "yeah that a reason but I though we'll be going on crazy mission and if were lucky super spy's" Hammers points a imaginate gun acting out like some professional super spy Nails join in the acting to only be disturbed by young guard trotting down stairs. "Um...excuse sir but Celestia change her mind she want me berry the body" The young guard said. Two of them look each other and smile "well thanks ruky for respecting your high rank knight" Hammers said with pride "umh where not the high ranks matter in fact were at the bottom" Nails said clueless of what Hammers is doing. Hammers face twitch and elbow him "shush it" Hammer whispered to Nails still holding his pose. "It'll be my honor to take the greatest and most respected knights of all" the young guard said picking up the shovel.

                "Yeah you do that kid while we do dangerous missions of ours" Hammers trotted outside the front door with Nails "we have missions I thought it was duty" Nails voice slowly faded while they continue walking further away. all was heard from the two of them was Hammers sigh. The young guard grew hands and with a snap of his fingers he turn into Discord. Discord wipe away the last drop of tear, picked her up then the shovel, turn to face the back door and walk outside the garden heading tords the special tree.
