Discord Discordant: Chapter 4Chapter IV: Dreams and NightmaresIt wasn't often that Princess Celestia felt the cold, and this was one of those times. Discord's maze kept twisting and turning, with Celestia always just a little behind Clover. The more she walked the colder she became, eventually finding herself shivering from head to hoof. It felt like forever since she had stopped to watch the illusion of her past and her legs had started to ache. "We're nearly there," Clover's voice rang out, causing Celestia to raise her head in acknowledgement. "N–Nearly where?" Celestia asked, although she was sure she didn't want to know. "To your second mistake." Clover a
Discord Discordant: Chapter 3Chapter III: The Real World "Twilight!"Twilight was awoken abruptly by the call of her name above her. It took her a few seconds to be able to focus her eyesight or move in the slightest and even when she did her entire body cried out in agony. "Twilight! Dad!" Came the voice of Shining Armor above her. "Are you alright?" Twilight took a moment to find her voice before raising her head. "I-I'm fine!" She shouted hoarsely, her throat distinctively feeling like sandpaper as she spoke. "Oh thank Celestia!" Twilight heard the voice of Velvet above her. "Twilight, can you see your father?" Twilight looked around but couldn't make out th
Discord Discordant: Chapter 2Chapter II: Parents Know BestTwilight found that chocolate rain was nowhere near as entertaining as anypony might've thought at first. The downpour hadn't been all that bad until they'd travelled under the city of Cloudsdale. The group had stopped to put a cover over the top of the cart, but that hadn't helped them with their already soaked cloaks and manes. A heavy tapping was heard from the canopy of the cart as the chocolate milk downpour hit the top with force. Twilight wrenched her soaked cloak off and threw it aside in annoyance. She'd likely catch a cold if they reached the colder reaches of Equestria before everything began to dry;
Discord Discordant: Chapter 1Chapter I: One Last LetterCanterlot had always been a bustling city around the clock. When the citizens weren't celebrating some event or another they'd be hard at work.But today was different. There was still the usual noise, but the difference was that it was an unsure sound. Above the city were gathering clouds of a dark brown colour; these were clouds that hadn't long been gathered above Ponyville to the south of the city. Twilight Sparkle knew it wouldn't be long before the contents of those clouds began to drop upon the city. Had she still been a younger filly what would fall would've excited her, but she couldn't seem to muster a s
Dear Princess Luna...: Chapter 2The Elements of Harmony "Ah! The air up here is as refreshing as ever, don't you think Twilight?"It was early morning above Canterlot castle where Princess Luna stood. She was at the highest point of the highest spire with her wings and head raised, feeling the breeze caress her hide. "Yes Princess." Twilight Sparkle said calmly; she was used to answering the exact same question every morning as Luna watched the sun. "There is a slight chill to it today though." Luna laughed quietly although it was barely audible over the whistling of the wind. "But that makes it all the more refreshing." The alicorn m
Dear Princess Luna...: Chapter 1The Academy of MagicTwilight lifted her head from the pages and blinked; what had she just read? She noted how similar the story was to the tale of Princess Celestia and Night Mare Moon, but was it merely a reimagining of it or a story reaching back even further? Twilight's interest was especially piqued by Dayflash; perhaps the author had just re-imagined the story and switched the places of the princesses. With the thoughts of her research now pushed to the back of her mind, Twilight slowly turned the brittle page over to continue reading but stopped when she found that one of the pages had a large picture on it. In the centre
Dear Princess Luna...: PrologueThe night in Equestria was young and the residents of Ponyville had settled to sleep, the daytime sun long since replaced by its twin. Silence reigned throughout the streets interrupted only by the occasional creature of the night calling to others of its kind. It would've seemed that the entirety of the town was in slumber; that is, if it wasn't for the solitary light coming from a window in the library. It wasn't unusual for Twilight Sparkle to forget her bedtime and continue her relentless research; in fact it was fairly average. Her young assistant, Spike, had long since given way to the call of his bed and only the sound of flicking page
