Chapter 6: Discords Mistake

Discord had stayed awake for hours on end, leading late into the night. he was determined to find a cure or at least some way to help his new friend. "alright Discord, gotta stay awake. gotta find a way to help Brock." Discord said to himself as he nearly fell asleep over and over again. he nearly fell asleep one final time when he read something that made him shoot wide awake. "wait, what is this?" Discord asked to himself. "hmm, this can't be...... it can't possibly be this easy.... can it?" Discord questioned as he read through a passage on a cure for amnesia. "i didn't think it could possibly be that easy! but apparently it is.... i must go tell Celestia at once!" Discord said to himself as he stood up and turned to go tell her. he nearly jumped out of his skin as he turned to face her not a foot away from him. "AAH! oh, oh it's you princess...." Discord said gasping for breath. "yes it's me, now what did you want to tell me?" Celestia said, a bit amused if anything. "i found a cure for brock's amnesia in this book!" Discord half yelled with excitement. Celestia's eye's widened in disbelief. "alright what is it then?!" Celestia asked filled with hope. "it's a spell, but it can't be used by any normal magic. it's a spell that an ancient group of creatures devised to cure amnesia. that race was my ancestors."  Discord said to Celestia and her eye's shrank. "so.... your saying only you or another Draconiquuis can use the spell?" Celestia asked. "that's the idea Princess, my ancestors devised the spell so that only they could use the spell, should anyone come down with a case of amnesia." Discord said. "my ancestors were very gifted magic users we were among the very first ones to use magic. my ancestors were alive long before the alicorns were born." Discord said proudly. "so will you help cure his amnesia?" Celestia asked hopefully. "yes Celestia i will cure his amnesia but there is just one problem." Discord said and looked down. "what is it Discord?" Celestia asked. "the spell will put him into a week long coma and when the week is over he will awaken and all of his memories will return to him instantly." Discord said. Celestia looked disappointed. "is there anyway you can avoid the week wait in between?" Celestia asked. "i'm afraid not Princess. in truly sorry but if you want him to have his memory back before hearth's warming eve fifteen years from now, then you'll have to wait a week." Discord said to her. "alright Discord i'll go tell everyone the news and you get to work on the spell. alright?" Celestia told him. "yes Princess i'll get started right away." with that discord jumped into the air and warped away. celestia teleported into the hospital room that Brock was staying in. "Mister Fireheart, you have a visitor." the nurse said to Brock as he lay in bed. "go ahead and send them in." Brock replied. Discord walked into the room. "hey Brock how are yo doing, the doctor told me you remembered your name right?" Discord asked as he locked the door behind him. "yeah, and i remembered a few other things about myself that really aren't important but yeah i remembered my name." Brock said with a bored tone in his voice. "good, good. now Brock the princess has asked me to come here to conduct a spell on you that will help you recover your memory far quicker than the natural process will." Discord said as he closed the blinds by the window and locked the window. "alright then let's get this over with. it's sucks not being able to remember anything." Brock said in a laid back tone. "whenever your ready..... uuh... what's your name?" Brock asked. "just call me Discord." Discord said to him as he started the spell. he looked deep into Brock's eyes and hypnotized him into remembering everything he could about himself and everything trying his hardest to bypass the coma effect of the spell but being unable to. Brock closed his eye's and went to sleep. Discord sighed and unlocked the door and the window as everyone ran into the room and asked if everything was okay. "yes, yes everything's fine he just need's some "rest" so to speak." Discord said to Celestia and the others. "were you able to avoid the week long coma?" Luna asked. "i'm afraid not Princess i'm sorry but in a week's time, he will have his memory back. the spell was a complete success." Discord said with pride. everyone smiled and walked home to get some rest. they were all very drained from this day both emotionally, and physically. they all went home and got into the bed. "aah, finally i can get a good night's sleep." Discord said to himself as he laid down in bed. Discord would finally be able to get a good night's rest for the first time in over a thousand years. as Discord closed his eye's he he felt like some part of his body was becoming weaker and weaker and then he opened his eye's and he saw something rise up from his body and appear in front of him at the foot of his bed. he gasped and almost screamed. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Discord shouted at it. it only turned and looked into his eye's.  discord gasped as he stared into the black pit's where it's eye's should have been. it looked exactly like him in the sense of body shape but it's cloths were different and it had no eyes. "your worst nightmare......." it whispered at him and then discord fell asleep and couldn't wake up.
