The idea: Part 1

Wha...? Where am I? What am I? Who am I?
You say as you look around to see only shadows mixed with strange lights.

"Finally! Took me forever but I have finally made you." You hear as you look around to find the voice.

What am I? Who are you?
You say again

"You, my creation, are a thought, an idea, a striving goal, an realization. You are not real and at the same time you are! And to your second question I am Discord, spirit of chaos, disharmony and much to what other ponies think, balance."

That makes no sense.
you say as the voice continues to get more and more excited.

"They said that I could not do it. that my godly powers were not meant for it but damn! Thanks to you I just proved them wrong! Now I am not doing to bore you with my life so why don't you turn around for a sec?"

You turn to see many different multi-colored spheres floating at eye level with you behind you. Each one has some kind of moving image in them. You come to terms that if you were to count them that you would not stop until you fade out, never to see the real world.

What are these? They look out of place.

"That's be cause they are you smart cookie you! These are every possible choice you could make including to annoy the piss out of me right now!

Now, soon I will release you in a host of your choosing but first let me show you your meaning, other than entertaining me of course." says the voice as three different orbs, one blue, one red and one purple, float towards you. "Look into the red one." says the voice.

What if I don't want to?

"Do you have a choice on the matter?"

You shake your "head" be for looking at the red one.

You look into the red one to see ponies running in the streets, cowering in fear or dead as a figure draped in shadows walks down the street with a evil grin on its mouth. "You could be the thing the land of equestria should fear. An evil tyrant with no regard for life. The path of the Villain. Now look to the blue one."

Fine, fine.

You turn you "head" to the blue orb to see ponies running to great the figure covered in light as the figure has a caring smile on its mouth and is helping out from saving them from shadows to helping a colt to his feet. "You could be the greatest hero equestria could ever hope for, protecting even the most Annoying ponies *cough* prince blueblood *cough*. The path of the Hero. Now for my least favorite, turn to the purple one."

Why is it your least favorite?

"Because it is so boring!"

You look at the purple one to see that no one is paying the figure mind save the occasional hello and the figure wears no smile of any kind again save when somepony greets it. "And then you have the nobody. Ponies don't love you unless you are in a relationship but they don't hate you ether. You are just there making subtle changes to their every day life that they don't notice. The path of the Background."

What does that have to do with me?
You ask the voice.

"Every thing. I will give you a life to control. When you take control you will not remember what is happening right now but your choices you make while you are in your host could make one of those happen. But before I give you a body I have one more gift for you. A power."

What kind of power?

"The kind that is useful now SHUT UP!"

The orbs fade out are are replaced by three different orbs, a white one, a yellow one and a green one. "You have a choice right now between these three. Look into the yellow one."

You look to see a figure with a group of ponies behind it all looking like they would follow the figure to the death. "You could be a great leader."

What does that have to do with power?

You get no response so you look to the green one to see a figure chatting with ponies looking like they were just about to harm the figure before the go their separate ways "You could be an inspiring diplomat."

Knowing that the voice was not going to respond to your question you look to the final white orb to see a figure surrounded but not looking afraid before it wisps out a sword and defeats all of the enemies. "Or you could be a legendary warrior. The choice it yours"    

How are these powers? They are just-

"Talents? Knacks for a hobby? skills? They are just as much powers as they are skills. A leader could lead an army into battle and even if they know they will die the would be happy it was alongside their leader. A diplomat could talk their way out of anything from being robed to having to get out of bed and a warrior would always have a way to defend them self's and any allies they have. Now make your choice before I kill you and make a different you."

Didn't you say it took you forever to make me so won't it be a bed idea to kill me?

"Good thing you don't have the power of diplomacy yet or I might have been persuaded by you. Now pick one before you fade out."

And if I don't want to?

"I will kill you in the most painful way possible." Next Chapter: The idea: Part 2 Estimated time remaining: 38 Minutes
