Chapter seven: The minions!
No one's P.O.V.
The world has fallen under chaos and everyone has at least a grey tint to them.
Everyone falling under Discord's rule.
The elements of harmony are now used to turn any who oppose Discord to stone using them as elements of disharmony now. The elements seem to have made the elements discorded owners immortal.
Light's P.O.V.
I can't say how long it's been. I haven't actually kept track.
And sometimes Discord messes with my perception of time.
But I now live in Discord's castle along with the other elements.
I either hide out in my room or go for a stroll around the castle.
In the library of books that you never know which book is real and which book will try to eat your face.
There is six statues of six people and for some reason I cry every time I look at them.
I don't know why. I can't remember what was so important about them just like the three plants in my room I care for the best I can like they are precious to me for some reason I don't remember. I barely remember Mello talking about the grey being people being discorded but I didn't really pay attention that well as soon after he too got he own grey tint.
Mello and Near argue a lot and can't stand each other as at first Near was the main one causing most of the arguments with Mello before Mello too got his grey tint.
Near is quite cruel to others and he even will torture you even to death if he so chooses.
Matsuda…. Well I don't really want to get into the gruesome details of what he does to those that laugh.
Halle keeps going out digging up more and more rocks and boulders saying they are different kinds of gems then spends her time rubbing against them like a lover. She is quite dusty and she doesn't care even as she gets more dusty.
L sometimes asks about the so called gems Halle collects.
She happily goes on for hours about them but L shows no real interest.
For the most part it's now hard to tell if L is lying or not since he got so much better at it.
Matt hangs around an old abandoned building that isn't Whammy's house but he insists that it is. He betrays a lot of people even when he's playing one of Discords games. He saves one but has to leave the other behind.
During his games Discord laughs even harder.
Pretty much everyone seems to have forgotten what life was like before Discord but a few remember.
L and Matt being the main ones and possibly the only ones that remember anything on what it was like before Discord.
One day an old woman with two small pigtails and a dress wanders in the castle.
Her face is in a frown.
L walks along beside her telling her probably lies of sweet nothings making her smile.
I know that L isn't interested in her as I can see on his face so I can't say why he can be nice to people even if he's lying about things.
The woman pauses and looks at me. She looks like she is sure she knows me but can't seem to remember where or who I am exactly. Her eyes go to being in a down mood and leaves the castle.
Later I heard she died and lucky for her Matsuda was burying a person who dared to laugh at him, alive so he added her to be buried with the person he is burying alive.
It's for the best so Discord can't use her body like a puppet trapping her soul unable to do anything but watch for as long as Discord decides to keep the body.
There is an older man that just dances around like he's a young one again but he's not and I'm sure that he is lucky that he is grey or else he would have thrown out his back or something otherwise.
There is also a tired man, I think I heard him say his name is Aizawa, carrying around an unconscious man always walking doing laps around the castle trying while trying to protect the unconscious male I doubt will ever awaken from the crowns trying to peck at the unconscious one as if wanting to peck him to pieces.
He also talks to the crows. "No you can't have Ide. He's my friend. You can't have him. Don't worry Ide. Discord said he'd make everything all better when we finish the laps."
I think he's on five hundred thousand laps so far.
One night, I think it's night since it's pretty much impossible to tell for sure now, Matt comes into my room and comes over to me as I am sitting on my bed.
He looks upset. He throws himself into my arms sobbing. "Oh Light!" He whimpers. "I can't take it anymore!" He cries. "Discord said he would change everything back to normal on one condition." He sniffles then keeps sobbing. "But I can't kill anyone I care for!" He sobs to me. "However I just want things to go back to the way they were! I want Halle to be generous again! I want Near to be kind again! I want Matsuda to smile and laugh again! I want L to be honest again!" He cries. "But I can't do it! I can't kill my best friend!"
I stare at him confused as I know he still cares about certain people even if he is disloyal to us but what he is saying is confusing me.
Since when was Halle generous?
Or L being honest.
Or further more Near being nice or even Matsuda smiling and laughing!
I let him cry himself to sleep then I go for a walk thinking over his words. I find myself staring at the statues.
That's when it comes to me.
The statues… Falcon and the other previous owners of the elements!
The plants… Mom, dad and Sayu!
The way everything was before this!
I find my body going back to normal loosing it's grey look so I don't even have a tinted grey look.
We can defeat Discord and return everything to normal!
I just need to snap the others back to reality.
Suddenly Discord appears and taps my head.
I feel a sharp pain go through my body like a shock wave rushing through my body from my head to my toes.
"Oh Light. You won't defeat me. Just like those other times I let you awaken you will always come back to me." He snickers. "Just sometimes I like to see that return of hope and determination light back up in your eyes."
….. I don't know how long it's been….. Sometimes Discord messes up my perception of time so I gave up on keeping track.
It seems we the elements have been called to action.
Someone is opposing Discord.
We gather our elements and head out to turn whoever it is to stone like all the other times before.
Forever in this world of never ending chaos and people growing old while we stay the same.
