Scion of Chaos – Epilogue
By: SilentBelle
She had that dream again. Five years had passed, and she still remembered that scene like it was yesterday. It kept repeating to her, as a reoccurring nightmare. She would see and hear it all: The emerald heart, the explosion, the shattering statue, and Twilight with her own magic, amidst it all.
That was the scene that had haunted her most: Twilight, as she strode forward against the light of the wild magic. She had worn a face of determination.
Sweetie Belle had hated the purple unicorn for what she had done, stopping Discord like that. She had sworn on the next day that she would never forgive the mare. However, she soon came to realize that she couldn't keep up such a grudge. It had started to drain her and had nearly cost her the friendship of her fellow crusaders.
Afterward, Sweetie Belle had come to a conclusion, after much brooding. She realized that it hadn't been Twilight's fault. No, the mare had acted as she had thought was best, and even now, Sweetie Belle was certain that the lavender unicorn would stand by her decision.
Sweetie Belle now knew who was truly responsible for the incident, it was her own fault. She had done nothing and watched it all. She hadn't tried hard enough to save him. With that thought firmly in her mind, the young filly had managed to form a shaky sort of peace with the older mare.
Sighing, Sweetie Belle opened her eyes to look up at the simple wooden ceiling of her room, and along with it, she saw the more intricate and beautiful magic that resided within the wood. The late-morning sunlight caught in her eye as she stared, a stray beam had managed to assault her through the open window. I should get up, she told herself as she pulled the covers tighter around her. Maybe in a minute.
She nearly drifted back to sleep, when a loud knocking came from the front door accompanied by a very familiar voice.
“Sweetie Belle, get up, or yer gonna be late fer Scootaloo's big day! Are ya sleepin' in again?!”
“Oh, geez! I forgot, we were supposed to meet an hour ago!” she shouted and jumped out of her bed, spilling the bedding upon the wooden floorboards haphazardly. Looking around the room, with a sense of panic, she frantically paced about, “Oh where is it, where is it?! Where did I put it?!” Then she spotted the small orange-wrapped box sticking out from beneath the litter of sheets on the floor with its purple lace holding it firmly in place. “Aha!” She picked up the present gracefully, using her magic.
With no more time time to spare, she darted out the door, with her gift in tow. Her hoof-falls faded away as she raced down the stairs and met up with Applebloom at the door. Their cheerful and excited exchange could barely be heard over the wind from the open window.
The room remained a mess, which was nothing new for the young mare, however there was one thing that was out of place. Upon her nightstand, her emerald pendant, roughly half-heart-shaped, lay there, forgotten in the spontaneity of the moment. Had anypony been present, they would have been able to see a light flickering from it's green depths slowly glowing brighter with every pulse, and perhaps they would hear the slightest of chuckles playing alongside the breeze.
End
This story was amazing and I really look forward to the sequel and anything else you write.
You glorious bastard. What a great story you've crafted.
YAY SEQUEL!!
Loved every moment of the story

Thanks everyone, I've had a blast writing it
okay.... what was the whole point of it? I missed it somewhere. This whole thing was a-- what, a suicide plan by Discord?
This story has the same problem I saw in one where Scootaloo was manipulated by Discord. Nothing ended conclusively, it just STOPPED. this sort of leaves things dangling--- Sweetie Belle has been trained in a whole new form of magic, one that, if I don't miss my guess, scares the utter crap out of other unicorns. Wouldn't the Princesses, Twilight, and every unicorn in the academy be landing on her to either "purge her of Discord's influence" or cork her power up or something? But no, it just ends with everything going back to status quo.
I can't say that I feel entirely satisfied with this ending, I sort of wanted something more from it.
Regardless, a most excellent fic, and I'll be looking forward to the sequel with great anticipation!
HHHHEEEESSSS ALIVE

The point wasn't exactly a suicide plan. It was more of a gamble by Discord. He wanted to get Sweetie Belle into a position where she had to choose his future. But the end result would mean some sort of release for him, whether in death, released back into the world, or released into Sweetie Belle herself, those were all possibilities.
I guess the feel I wanted for the last chapter was an eruptive sort of storm, that does just stop and ends with everyone having to pick up the pieces.
As for the nature of Chaos Magic being terrifying for other unicorns, I don't think that's entirely true. Sweetie Belle would likely have spilled the beans about her magic to Twilight after the whole thing was over, but I think Twilight would see that as a gift rather than some sort of curse or thing to be purged (something that requires further investigation).
And why wouldn't things go back to status quo for a time? (that seems to happen quite often in the show to the mane 6 after becoming heroes of Equestria) She's just a little girl who was missing for some time and has returned home safely. It's likely that she's being monitored without he knowledge, but Celestia isn't the type to order a filly detained or purged, she's more likely to keep a careful eye on her and watch her grow into the mare she's meant to be.
To be honest though, I had considered these points before making these decisions and I thank you for pointing them out. Thank you for reading
There's going to be a sequel? There's going to be a sequel! My goodness, I can't wait!

Will you link it in a blog post to this story or will you make another chapter with the link?

Scoddri is the SPIRIT of chaos, he is not a God, although he would probably be flattered to hear that you think of him as such.

I'll blog post it, since this story is completed and the sequel is technically a new story.

GRAGH!!! This is being continued five years after?!?
Please tell me I am wrong. And don't make it six years instead, please?
1923400
Oh? Well, I suppose I could also make an intermission fic between the two, but I've got a general plan for a larger story so the five years is going to happen
Woot! Chaos always finds a way. I shall wait happily knowing a sequel is coming. Eventhough my mind shall be in termoil till then.
But got to say it was an uter joy to read this fic, so keep up the amazing work.
1923539
Thank you, your praise is the finest fuel for my work
1922784 Stop writing to the commenters and get back to writing the sequel!

1923636
Yes yes, right away just don't whip me
Woo hoo!!! Love this story, SOOOOO glad there's a sequel in the works. Like the idea of chaos magic, and the lack of study about magic. Gonna be fun seeing the interplay between Sweetie Belle and Twilight when it (inevitably, please?) comes around to studying Sweetie's magic.
5 years seems like a long jump.
P.S. Great Story Bro
Very awesome. I can't wait for the sequel.
1923636
Good writing takes time. Be patient, or you' 'll unleash the wrath of the war Dashies upon yourself

Now apologize to my good friend here
Awesome story!
great story
Good end. This story gets an A
Whoo! Sequel!
After reading this story all i can say is:
If i were a smoker i'd need a cigar right now.
Very satisfying story to read with a proper ominous ending and the promise of a sequel is even better.
1922784 HOW DARE YOU PLAY WITH OUR AFFECTIONS! WE THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD!
Loved it so hard!
I loved this one and I can't wait for the sequel, but take your time
I love Discord
Yes Discord rules celestia drools.
I do hope he will say that when he gets back.
At first. I was like.....Scoddri?....really?........ now im all like. MOAR.
Cant wait for the sequel . It was quite the lovely read.
all the yay for you good sir
Vote for Sweetie, new dark lord, and chaos maker.
Ehhh.... I really would have added a lot more about the aftermath in the epilogue. Instead of giving us a segue into the next book, I would have spent a significant amount of time detailing the reaction, the events immediately surrounding the ending, the grudge, the almost-loss-of-friendship, Sweetie dealing with her new cutie mark and what it meant, etc.
ON THE WHOLE, HOWEVER:
...
...

*BANG goes the fireworks and streamers* FANTASTIC WORK!! *Cheers*
Wonderful story I enjoyed it very much, but I cant help to think about a drawing I made of sweetie belle while reading your story mainly becaus it sort of share the same idea. Anyway geart story and Im looking forward to read the sequal.
1926709
I figure I'll make a proper one-shot of that eventually, maybe right before I start the sequel. I wanted it to go out with a bang so I kept it short with a promise of more. Thanks for pointing that out though
This story has been my new favorite and I am ... DYING , For more OP Sweetie Belle! ... um, if that's not to much trouble.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
