PROLOG

the days turned at differenting times, rivers flow with chaos, and everything had variety, like nature intended. Discord made sure everything was as it should be in those one controlled light, no one controlled the anmials, no one controlled weather. Everything was as nature intended, exactly. Until one alicorn rose above everything. In an attempt to create 'harmony'...

...

it was the avarage day in equestria. Chocolate rain poured down as ponies laughed and fillies giggled As they played with they're friends. Today was the day they're ruler, Discord, would visit. He always did when it turned to a new year. It brought happiness, the different, funny things at hat always a happend around him. No one thought of him as any different then another pony, despite his looks. Suddenly, aloud horn sounded, announcing the rulers arrival. A very large crowd of ponies gathered around the dirt path and watched as it turned to Ice, and discord skated in.

"HELLO EVERYPONY!"

he shouted with true joy.

It always made him happy to come to this little town. Everyone was always so happy!

Then he noticed somepony out of the ordinary. A much, much taller pony. Seemed to be a unicorn, but with a very different mane. It flowed with several different colors. Discord looked worried. This pony didint seem to be haveing very much fun! He skated over to the tall pony and wraped a clawed arm around her.

"why, hello there! What seems to have gotton you so blue! This is a day of Fun!"

when he said fun, fireworks appeared above them.

the pony raised its wings and batted a very confused discord away with a glare.

'wait...wings?'

discord has noticed that this pony had both wings and a ,it's an alicorn! How very rare indeed! That DOSENT explain why she acted like she did Though.

his thoughts where interrupted by a magic beam shot at him from the pony, and he barley got out of the way before a flower behind him to be insinerated from the beam discord had narrowly escaped.

As startled gasp rose from the crowed. Who dare try to hurt they're ruler?!

"you won't fool me! This isint right what your doing! Your causing pain to meany by acting like you do you fool of a draconequus! I won't stand behind you!"

discord looked stunned, and so did everypony else. Pain? Discord, a fool?

"My my My! What ever do you speak of? Have I done something to OFFEND you?"

discord tried his best to put as much scarcausum into his voice as he could manage, and he succeeded In Makeing the pony angrey. The last thing discord remembered before blacking out is a bright light.

~2 hours later~

"nurse! NURSE! He's wakeing up!NURSE!"

discord groaned.

'what happend?'

he thought to himself. Indeed, what had happend? he remembered the pony being mad, a bright light and... Discord sat up quickly, startling the doctor who had just walked in.

"My apologies sir, but I must be going. I have somepony to sort out..."

the last two words practically dripped with dark malice.

the doctor pony simply nodded as the angered draconequus stormed out of the hospital . He easily spotted the pony out, because of how much taller she was then the other ponies. he snapped his fingers once and a steel cage appeared around the grinned, and hovered over to the trapped pony.

"we'll now. Look who we have here! Care to explain why you directed your magic at me?!"

discord yelled, attracting the attention of everypony within hearing distance.

"of corse. Because no draconequus should rule equestria! They shouldemt even exist! It isint right. Equestria should be ruled by Ponies and nothing else! Your rule of chaos is horriable and unnatural!"

discord looked dumbfounded. he had been ruler of these lands for as long as he could remember, longer even. What did what he is have anything to do with how he can rule? Why shouldent his race exist?

discord cast these disturbing thoughts aside and looked the pony in the eye,and said with a evil smile

"if your so opposed to me, then why don't you tell me then. Who else would rule over the lands while makeing the citizens happy, able to do what I do better, able to fight me? Because thats what it'll take to bring me down. I refuse to succumb to a no-good trouble maker like yourself!"

the pony staggered back as far as the cage would allow her as discords voice rose as he spoke, takeing on an evil tone. One that spoke of rage and murder. The pony smiled, a trace of constrained fear in her eyes.

"you can call me celestia. And challenge accepted, draconequus."

it was discords turn to look confused now. When had he challenged her?

"Why, whatever do you mean? what challange?"

the pony grinned, seeming to get her confidence back.

"the challenge to fight you to gain the position of ruler of equestria."

discord went pale. Fight? she would really... He swayed slightly, and snapped to make the cage dissipear. He bowed and walked away from the pony, into a tree he had hollowed out for himself when he stayed in this village. There was nothing in it, really. Just his bed and a few books. Discord layed down and looked at the roof. Would he really fight her? If he did, what if he actually did louse? What would he do then? He couldent let her take the thrown. He could see it in her eyes. She would twist equestria. Make it a place of strictly peace. No variety, no more chocolate rain, no more anything. Discord shivered at the thought. He couldent let that happen. He had to fight. There was no choice.

discord has his first uneasy night in a very, very long time.
