Morning came too early. Screwball rubbed her eyes, and stretched. Screwball's eyes widened in disbelief. She was in the castle.
"Where am I?" She asked the empty room. It seemed no one was up yet, so she had time to be mischievous. She sneaked through the room to see if she could do anything. She came across a giant door, with a small keyhole in the middle. Great, it can only be opened with alicorn magic. Screwball sat back on her flank, and thought. She came up with an idea of how to get in. She was pretty good at picking locks. Well, this wasn't an ordinary lock but it would have to do. She took a pin out of her hair, and started picking the lock. It broke as soon as it entered the hole. Great. Another disappointment. She grabbed her second, and last, pin, and tried again. This time, she concentrated all her magic into the pin. She may be a earth pony, but she was still the offspring of two magical creatures. A alicorn, and a draconequus.
If this wasn't mentioned before, Discord is a draconequus. A draconequus, is a a creature with a pony head, and the body of all sorts of animals. As the cutie mark crusaders said, he created confusion, chaos, and well... evil... Their arguing had released Discord if you didn't know. Let me describe it to you... The word "draconequus" is composed of the Latin "draco" and "equus", meaning "dragon-horse". Discord is a combination of many body parts from different creatures. His head is horse-like, much different from the other character's head styles, with a deer antler on the right, a goat horn on the left, one long fang, different-sized pupils, a snake tongue, and a goat beard. He has the right arm of a lion, the left claw of an eagle, the right leg of a lizard, and the left leg of a goat. In addition, he has a bat's right wing, a Pegasus' left wing, a horse's mane and a dragon-like snake's tail with a white tail tuft. The shape of his body resembles that of a snake. While Discord is technically a chimera, which is a creature with parts from multiple animals, this term is not used in the show. There's your lesson on my little pony! Back to story...
The pin glowed light purple as it slipped into the key hole. The door opened slowly. Screwball danced around happily, because she unlocked the door. A box lay inside. It was covered in assorted jewels and gems. It was a beautiful box, but Screwball could care less. What she wanted to know, was what's inside. She opened the box. The Elements of Harmony lay carefully inside. Screwball shrieked and dropped the box, scattering the elements. Five necklaces and a tiara scattered the floor. Screwball picked them up, and put the box as it was as if it had never been touched. She then backed out of the room and shut the door. She hit someone, and fear shot through her body. She shrieked and whipped around to see her smiling father. She dropped the elements, and said
"Daddy!"
"Hello my little terror. It seems you have found The Elements of Harmony. Good. Now we can hide them before we're turned again."
"Turned? Where have you been? Why did I wake up in the palace? What's going on!?" Screwball demanded. Discord explained everything that had happened, and the situation they were in.
"But why did we break free?" Screwball asked.
"I'm guessing that it's because Celestia and Luna are no longer connected to The Elements of Harmony, and they found a new six to represent friendship. The six we need to watch for is, Fluttershy the element of kindness, Applejack the element of honesty, Rainbowdash the element of loyalty, Rarity the element of generosity, Pinkiepie who is my personal favorite, the element of laughter, and most of all, Twilight sparkle the element of magic. There are two earth ponies, two pegasus', and two unicorns. All of them are about your age. got it? I'll be teasing them. You hide the elements in the book, The Elements of Harmony Ok?" Screwball nodded, and took the elements, and galloped away. Discord smiled remembering Screwball's childhood. He zapped himself into the window when he heard the princess approaching.
