Chapter 10:
Discord's P.O.V:
The silence in the castle is not one of fear but one of contemplation. Celestia and Luna give each other looks as if they're speaking. I relax, knowing that I am no longer in trouble of being punished. However, Twilight still looks worried.
"Twilight, why are you worried?", I whisper to her. She looks at Celestia and Luna as if she can understand their silent castle is eerily quiet, except for the sounds of the castle guards and servants. "Perhaps we should take a break from this, um... conversation and go have some lunch..."
Celestia and Luna both look up at me, as if they're remembering that I'm there. Celestia is the first to break the silence. "I'm so sorry for leaving you on edge, Discord and Twilight. If you are interested, the four of us could order something from the castle kitchen."
Twilight looks at me gratefully as I agree. We walk to the kitchen and take a break from all this confusion.
Luna's P.O.V:
My body feels exhausted from the events of this morning. My head still feels the aftermath of my attacker's spell. And my body still feels the stress of the recovery spell Discord used to heal me. However, I am not necessary in a bad mood.
I think about the subject of me and Celestia's silent conversation. We know Discord's up to something. Why else would he bring Twilight along with him? However, I don't think he was the one who cursed me. We know he's hiding something from us.
I take a sip of my tea. It helps ease the headache I now have. Discord is sitting opposite from me; he's eating some apple bread and drinking some of his special chocolate milk.
We sit there in silence, eating our lunch and thinking. As our table is cleared, Twilight asks to leave. "I have some duties to fulfil as princess this afternoon", she says.
Discord tries to leave with her, but I stop him. "I'D LIKE TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU", I yell at him. Stupid royal canterlot voice. He looks startled and silently pleads for to leave him alone.
"Discord. I'm sorry. I'm not angry with you...
I just really need to talk with you and I promise I won't take long"
Celestia understands what I'm doing. As Twilight leaves the castle, she looks back, and then leaves quickly. Now it is just me, Celestia, Discord and the guards and servants inside the castle.
"Discord, we know you're hiding something from us", states Celestia. "These past days, you've been acting all strange and we think it has to do with why a curse was placed on Luna today and also on Twilight yesterday."
"These events were not caused by me", Discord says rather shyly.
"Well, what's worrying you so much then?", I ask him rather sternly.
And so Discord tells us about his dreams with Tirek, and also about his actions against Tirek. As I hear him speak, I become greatly worried. If what Discord says is true, then Equestria is in for some serious problems.
It appears to me that my sister is having the same thoughts that I am.
"Discord. For your own personal safely and for the safety of your friends, I recommend you stay out of this Tirek business. You should cancel the Order of Chaos. We will take matters in our own hands..."
Discord seems relieved from his stress, but now he seems a bit down.
"This is for your own good", I tell him.
