Chapter 9: Dis ball of Chaos!
"Ah it's so good to be back..." A dark voice cackled in the Canterlot gardens as every one slept. Some had slathered on a mineral creme before doing so that crack in morning, not unlike the mineral filled stone shed now by the owner of the voice.
"Hmm... It's no wonder dear sweet Lulu became evil as of her own night... This seems a disrespectful way to greet their lord back to Equestria..." Discord scowled, snapping his fingers, causing a whirl wind to begin, bringing a hooded figure with it onto the ground.
"So your back master?" A pinkish purple pony in a cloak with spiraling eyes, yelled up to her draconequis owner.
"Yes I am, my sweet little girl..." He chuckled bringing her up to him and hugging her in his arms, "Did you do as I asked?"
"Indeed, and I got you files as well!" She giggled, reaching into a satchel on her side to produce a very decorative box and a couple portfolios labeled with names of the mane six.
"Hmm... A bondage lover eh?" He smirked, his one snaggle tooth gleaming in the moonlight like his piercing eyes, or rather eye as he was winking, "We'll see if it's master or slave wont we, Screwball?"
"Yes, master!" Screwball replied, blushing suddenly, not because of the fact that was indeed her fettish, rather because of something close but different: her lord saying it and winking at her. Luckily for her, it was night so none of this was evident, "So which one of the elements is this bondage lover?" she asked, willing the loving tremble in her voice away.
"Generosity, something I must have to let a fawning subject like you stay part of my army..." Discord smirked, mock-glaring at the now Pinkie pink pony.
"But... I mean how..." The embarrassed mare stammered.
"Just remember: don't let emotion control you, my little filly, if you do, then you'll look just plain silly..." Discord warned calmly with his typical mystic and wise demeanor, "And not even in the good way..."
"I won't my master..." Screwball bowed, "But do you still feel about love as always?"
"Indeed I do, my sweet. It's merely a vessel, a vessel one can use to cause delicious chaos and one I want no part in myself..." Discord sighed, adding to the end of it in his head, for I have been part of it with another pony for far too long.
Kaity's eyes gently opened as she looked around.
"What did you see, my wise pony?" Zecora rhymed, looking deep into her assistant's green eyes.
"I saw a pony at great loss, with her the great lord of Chaos..." Kaity replied back with a worried tone.
"Then it is just as I feared," Zecora sighed, grabbing the sac of powder from beside her friend, "the time for his rein has neared!"
