Madness found

"Out."

"But Lord Discord-"

"I said out."

"Can you please just recons-"

"ARE YOU BLOODY DEAF! I SAID GET OUT! I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOUR CABBAGES AND HOW MANY TIMES YOUR STAND GETS DESTROYED!"

"B-b-b-ut..."

Discord jump from his seat and landed heavily before the brown fur earth pony, oddly dressed in clashing green and yellow clothing, and let loose a roar worthy of a dragon. The terrified pony bolted for the door, nearly plowing through the wall and into other ponies.

Discord then turned, marching away from the court.

"Lord Discord! The Royal Court is still in session."

"Court Adjourn."

"B-but-" *snap* The Unicorn guard suddenly vanished from sight, then they heard screaming. All the ponies looked out the window to see the same guard falling from the sky, screaming as he plummeted to the ground. Lucky, several Pegasus guards were there to catch him before he met a grisly fate.

"Anyone else want to tell me how to run my court?" Every single head quickly shook their heads before rushing towards the door. He growled as he flung open the doors leading towards his chambers before slamming them closed behind him. He barely walked 2 feet before a pair of legs wrapped around him. He didn't even get the chance to growl out a warning before two soft lips touched his own. Suddenly, his racing and chaotic thoughts came to a screeching halt. The lips pulled away before he found himself looking at Celestia's face.

"Calm yourself..." She said as she nuzzled him, he let out a shudder breathe, sorting his mind out.

"How do you do that?" he whispered. Gently hugging her. He was so glad Celestia returned his feelings for him. After nearly 5 centuries of tip toeing around her and the subject of loving her more than a sister, she eagerly return his feelings of love. Some of the subjects of Equestria were somewhat put off by this relationship they had. They actually had debates about it. In the end though, it didn't matter, they were not related by blood and they were happy. He was happy...sort of. With his mind dwindling into chaos, Celestia was his rock, she always was able to calm him, and Luna to a point.

"Years of practice...Discord...I'm worried about you."

"I know." he sighed, hitting his head. "It gets worse every year, soon the ponies will be demanding that I step down...and...I don't know. I just don't know what is going to happen."

"You know Starswirl is working on it. He is trying his best. Griffon magic and curses is not exactly common you know...Since..."

Since I wiped a majority of them during the war. Even if I were to go the north and demand Queen Gilda to help, I would probably end up worse off.

The pair continue to walk down the corridor towards their chamber, Celestia humming a small tune as they walked. This help calmed Discord's mind further.

"Luna wants you to be by her side tonight."

Discord winced, the 700 year anniversary of Storm Shield death was tonight. He forgot, though not really his fault to begin with. Every year, Discord and Luna would sit the entire night at his grave, Luna will cry and Discord would wrap his body around her and apologize over and over. She never blamed him, never once did she blame her older brother in the death of her love.

"I will never hate you, dear brother...You make Tia happy...you beat yourself up to make me happy...to make me smile...I can...I can never hate you...Cause if Storm did not sacrifice himself to save you...You would not be here either...I know Storm will die eventually...But if you weren't here with me...I will probably never smile again."

Discord was brought of his thoughts.

"I just wish we could use the Elements to cure you."

"Tia, you know what happen the last time I was near the Elements."

"Stupid gems. Why would they try to turn you to stone anyways?"

"I am just glad thats all they do to me. Remember when Mother and Father used it against Wraith Dragon?"

"They destroyed it...I know. I just feel...frustrated! This unfair! Finally have peace...only for you to descend into madness!"

"I'm not a mad king yet, my love."

"No...but for how much longer?"

Neither had an answer to this question.

-Castle Mage Quarters-

Luna and Starswirl both examine the spell floating before them.

"Are you sure this will work, Starswirl?"

"I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that, your majesty."

"Luna, Starswirl, you can call me Luna when there is no one else is around."

"Sorry, Princess."

* sigh* "I guess I'll take that." Starswirl only smiled, before returning back to it grim frown.

"As I said before, it is unknown what will happen. The curse that I examined from Lord Discord's mind has never been seen before. Its almost like the curse is using the chaos magic that Lord Discord uses and pits it against his mind. The fact he is still sane boggles the mind."

"Not really. My Sister stays by his side, and she makes sure he is calm and collected before the start of the day."

"Hmm...well, lets hope it holds out a bit further. This spell...its almost like the griffons crafted this to affect Lord Discord in this way. Meaning that King Beaksharp was waiting for Lord Discord when he made a final push to Razoredge Castle."

"Curse Beaksharp and his whelps! Even now, centuries later, they torment my brother."

"I'm sorry, Princess, but you know as well as I do that magic is a complicated thing to understand."

"The term: 'Its magic, I do not have to explain it.' comes to mind."

"A term that is, sadly, accurate."

End of chapter 3.

Bio update for Discord. This Discord will be different from what we know in the show.

Name: Discord.

Titles: Former Prince of Pranks. King of Chaos and Order.

Family: Galactus- Stepfather; Solaris- Stepmother; Celestia- Stepsister/Engaged; Luna-stepsister

Bio: Discord was brought into the Royal family by his birthmother. She was near death when she pleaded to the royal family to take him. Given that the Royal family and Draconequus Tribe had close ties to one another, they granted the dying mother's wish. The mother died before she was able to tell them why she was attacked. They order guards to the last known location of the tribe, only to be informed that the entire tribe was killed. Vowing to raise the child properly and teach him of both pony and his people's culture.

For the first couple of centuries, both Discord and Celestia were raised as siblings. Both learning to one day lead Equestria. Somewhat surprised that Discord was still alive by the first century and still young looking. Galactus was shocked to find so much chaos magic with in the boy. He mused that the Tribe must of sent all the magic to him, to protect both the magic from the griffons and give the power to the boy to protect himself. Growing up, Discord loved playing pranks, though never to harm and he would apologize afterwards.

The small family grew with one more, Princess Luna being born. However, they were torn apart when griffon assassins attack. Discord used his magic to protect Celestia and Luna, then rushed to help his step parents. Sadly, Galactus was killed and Solaris was dying with fatal wounds. The griffon assassins were posed to kill the queen before they were kill by Discord. With her final few minutes, she declared Discord the next leader of Equestria.

The next 50 years brought Equestria to brink of collapse. With the King and Queen dead, and the next King with little experience of warfare, the ponies were pushed back all the way to Canterlot. Then Discord took to the field, and lead the next 50 years pushing Griffon Kingdom all the way back to Razorbeak Castle. There, he battled with King Beaksharp for the future of Equestria in a one on one battle. The battle lasted for an entire day before Beaksharp was finally killed. Seeing their king fall in battle and the number of remain warriors left, the Griffon kingdom finally yielded to the Ponies.

The next 1000 year King Discord led Equestria...however, the madness set by Beaksharp affect Discord in a way no one will catch before it was to late.
