Well hello again! Someone asked me why I chose an Arc Flash for my oc name. To that person I say, congratulations for actually knowing what it is. to anyone who doesn't know what it is, here (copy and paste time!) An arc flash is an electrical discharge that uses the air as a conductor, exploding from a high voltage source to another conductor or ground nearby. The release can be 5,000 degrees or hotter, melting nearby metals and damaging the electric circuits involved. The brightness, heat and force of the arc flash can cause damage to the human body. ok, lessons over. read.

The Not so Great and Definitely Not Powerful Trixie walked glumly down an empty Manehattan street at night. After Ponyville, everything had gone down the drain for her. She had been reduced to selling all of her possesions, and on some desperate occasions, her body, to survive. She took a seat on a curb, her coat and mane getting wetter by the second. It was going to be one of those nights again.

"You're stuck at the bottom too?" drifted a voice from a shadowy figure in a corner. "I know how you feel."

Trixie looked around, slightly alarmed. "Who's there?" she called out. "Show yourself!"

"Relax," came the voice. "I'm not going to hurt you." The figure stood up, bipedal, to Trixie's surprise. As it walked over to her, the light coming from a streetlamp illuminated it. A large… thing, stood before her. It had the features of many different animals all combined to make a creature that Trixie recognized as the spirit of chaos, Discord. But he looked different from all pictures she had seen of him.

In the pictures he had seemed threatening, powerful. Now just looked broken. He was thin, his ribs showing, large bags under his eyes. But what surprised the unicorn the most was what was in his eyes. In all photos, they had been alive, full of malice and emotion. Now they were a void.

"So how'd you get here?" asked Discord, sitting down next to her.

Trixie began to tear up. It was always painful for her to retell her story. "Well there was this unicorn, Twilight Sparkle."

"Say no more, my dear," Discord said solemnly. "She's the reason I'm here too. I used to be a god, but now I don't have any of my powers anymore…"

Trixie only continued to tear up, some of the tears slipping free of her eyes and running down her face. Discord noticed this and gently lifted a hand to wipe off the tears. "There, there. It'll all work itself out. Why don't you tell me about your good days then?"

"Well," sniffled the mare. "When I was a filly, I always dreamed of being a magician…"

I shall explain. I always liked the idea of Discord coming back but with a fraction of his powers, living in Equestria as a homeless person, and he learns the value of friendship with Trixie. I want to see a Trixie Discord ship. I always thought it was sweet. This totally counts as a Discord story!
