Discord has been reformed— mostly. Still, Princess Celestia seems to have trouble controlling what appears to be a seething hatred for him whenever nopony else is around.

When the Princess approaches him one day before a royal ball, Discord begins to see the situation a bit better.

Discord is seen by many as a monster. Princess Celestia has told the story of discord the spirit of chaos and disharmony, but no pony knows the truth behind it all, until one day Twilight finds an old artifact that tells the story behind the conflict between Celestia and Discord. She finds that Monsters aren't born they are created and that not all stories end 'happily ever after'...
(inspired by the comic 'Discordantly' by the CrappyUnicorn on deviantart, 'Marvel: origins' and the song 'My Curse' By Killswitch engaged) Some thanks and credit to my brony Critical Lighthouse for helping with the grammar and editing.

Read and see discord as he is invisioned in seven short stories, ranging from his loneliness to his extreme lust for chaos.

Inspired by a few comics from renowned artist like Johnjoesco, and a crappy unicorn, and songs from Hollywood undead.

In a freak accident from the Cloudsdale weather control team, Twilight is struck down by an errant lightning bolt. But the veil of death is relatively thin...

Princess Celestia calls Rainbow Dash to her side to alert her to her solution to an incoming danger.
But it's quite possible that Rainbow won't like what she hears, but what can the Element of Loyalty do when she's asked to save the country and Princess she has sworn loyalty to?

Much thanks to Solidfire for help Editing. I really do appreciate it.

A short story based on the depressing but very well put together Youtube video 'What if the Mane 6 died one by one?' Told from the perspective of Rainbow Dash, the last surviving member of the Mane 6.

All Fluttershy needs is a little bit of help, and everything will be fine. She can always count on her friends to help her in her time of need. They're such good friends. But... where are they?

Ponies get older over time. They slow down. This is a part of life. But Rarity, Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie can keep pursuing their dreams as they get older. Rainbow Dash can't. This is her last chance to be a Wonderbolt, and despite working her tail off, she's not getting any better. In fact, she's getting slower. She just wants things to be fair. She wants one last chance to achieve her dream.

She wants to be faster.

This is what happens when she gets her wish.

A three part story.

After a flying accident, Rainbow Dash awakens in the hospital to tragic news. Trying to cope with the aftermath might just be more than she can take...

This is the story of the end. This is the story of the death of Equestria. It is the story of the reign of her royal majesty, Princess Twilight Sparkle of the Fading Sun.

The alicorn sisters are dead and Equestria has turned to Twilight Sparkle to guide it. However, just maintaining a dim sun a fraction as bright as her mentor's keeps the new princess near her limits.

Years have passed and Twilight Sparkle is sure of only one thing. Equestria is dying.

NOTE: Written before "It's about Time" in season 2. Everything after "Read it and Weep" was ignored throughout this story.
