New chapter.
Discord was home in his cave that night. As he was brushing his teeth, he looked down at the snow star Snowdrop gave him. He stroked each of the points gently with his lion's paw, thinking about the little filly who gave that star to him.
"You don't honestly think you've gained a friend, have you?"
Discord looked up seeing his reflection in the mirror eyeing back at him.
"You honestly believe that little filly would ever truly accept you for who you are?"
"She already has." Said the real Discord, "She even gave me this snow doily as a sign of her appreciation of me saving her."
"Please." Said the reflection, "If she wasn't blind, she would've acted like everypony else has."
"Shut up!"
"You may have saved her life; you may have even treated her with hospitality, but in the end you'd be nothing more than a freak to her."
The real Discord cringed.
"Oh, you don't like that?" the reflection smirked, "Its not like anypony hasn't ever called you a monster before. Why would that filly be any different?"
"Because…"
Discord couldn't come up with an answer.
"You see?" said the reflection, "Nothing is different. The only thing that's changed is that the cover has been covered up. No matter what you do, no matter how much you try to change their perception, nopony will ever accept you, not even as their friend."
In a fit of rage, Discord punched the mirror, shattering it into many pieces on the ground. Discord stared back at his shattered reflection as it now truly reflected his own anger.
As Discord's anger started to die, he looked down at the star Snowdrop had given him, sighing in remorse. The reflection was right. No matter what he can do, Snowdrop would never be able to accept him if she knew what sort of beast he was.
Please R&R.
