A/N: This is just something small that I was thinking about, and thought you all might enjoy too.
"What is it?" hisses the creature, small and slender and dark. It curls around the plant, what with its dark leaves and blue flowers and intoxicating smell.
Discord runs one clawed hand down his pets back, eyeing both it and the plant as it speaks. "It is a great creation, little one. Something new to bring the world - chaos."
"Yes, yes, yes," hisses the creature again, ecstatic at the joy it hears in its masters voice. "Chaos! Life!"
"Yes, life," echoes Discord, and he scoops the small being up in his arms. It slithers and writhes in his grasp. "And this bit of life needs a name. Something to make those ponies understand it. Something...ironic."
The little creature looks up at him with those wide eyes, and in its rasp of a voice says, "joke."
The corners of discords lips curl up, revealing sharp teeth and rotted gums. "Yes, yes, that is a perfect name little one. A joke, for all those who come across it. A...poison joke."
