Celestia's family
Chapter 11: It's time to settle our differences..
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe light hued mare's violet eye's snapped open in a quick instant, her brain swiftly filling with her schedule automatically. Her jaw's opened to let a calm yawn escape. The wind bristled through the mare's wavy and beautiful mane as the fancy and well decorated window snapped open. "Hmm?" She sighed shutting the window with her rather powerful magic, then placing her crown on her head and getting set for the long day.
A quick flash of light appeared, quickly fading and after stood a chaotic being. "Why isn't it my dearest friend Celestia? Nevermind we all know flutters got my back more than you, it's already proven.." He snickered as he sat in mid - air. Celestia rolled her eye's as she began to walk out the door. "Almost forgot to tell you, all you're duties have been finished. Well most, still got a few things to attend to but let's just say it'll take a moment before you even think of attending them." The light's mare's eyes shot wide open, giving Discord a frown.
"What did you do?"
"What any friend would do, Tia!"
"Friends? I'm not friends with monsters like you!"
Discord was confused. "I thought we where? I took you to your childhood spot you haven't been in years, I raised our children while you taught Mr . Prince the basics of magic, I did everything to help you with your duties, I reformed because I thought after all this time after all I've done you'd be the one who'd get it the one who had my back, and what did happen to friends forever, huh? I forgave you for your mistakes, can't you forgive me? Hmm?.. Or am I just to evil?.. Huh? Why do you REALLY think I avoid you, this reason. What if Twilight saw your true colors, you changed everyone for who they where, need an example? You changed me from what makes me ' me ' chaos! That changeling queen, whoever she is, wanted love to feed her subjects she is a loving mother doing whatever to make sure they don't die! Twilight?.. She was happy for who she was, sure friends helped her in the long run, but are you not happy with your student for who she is? Sunset Shimmer was your student who did everything in her power to make you happy! But she wanted a reward and you hated her for it! Celestia you aren't perfect! Nor am I, get that through that blinded brain of yours! Or do you need your castle to be made of cheese again? Hmm?.." Celestia was furious at this point, she stomped her hoof to speak.
"I did it all for my kingdom! I'm sorry your jokes where more important than your friends at the time, Luna and I cared for you! But instead you turn around and act like my kingdom was your play house! A wise royal does what's right, no matter the cost, I know I'm not perfect but Discord I try to be so the kingdom and my family feel safe! Through that twisted mind of yours, there use to be a caring & gentle creature, who loved a few simple jokes but you turned my life upside down and I loved it! That's why I loved you, that's why all of your friends care for you! You never would even think of hurting Fluttershy, would you? Well you hurt your old best friend, and when I fell in love for a second time I thought you changed! I thought you knew I had duties, but you couldn't see that could you?" Celestia's was using her royal voice as Discord sat listening to everything.
"Excuse me princess, I have better things to attend to than listen to you complain about it being so hard to be a ruler.. And I did know, but I always saw you with Luna, you care so much about that moon pony, so I thought family was more important... Wasn't it?" In another quick flash of light the hybrid faded away to be set in his own home, everything different and chaotic. "That pony doesn't know a single thing, does she?" He floated around to eventually find a dresser, a very strange dresser.. On the very bottom contained a photo, a simple one actually.. Three friends with a creature in the middle with a goofy smile also beside two small alicorns. "Hmph..." He wiped away the dust it contained to see the white alicorn's big smile as she stared at the creature's chaos.
Illusion's eye's settled on his father packing bags, his face turned to shock. "Father, what are you doing?" He was frowning, not wanting to leave the place he called home. Discord turned to him and let out a sigh, he wasn't in the mood. Discord continued to pack bags, ignoring his son. Discord really didn't want to talk. "Dad?" Discord didn't answer but stopped his packing. "Dad answer me!" Still nothing. "DAD!?" Discord was pressured to speak.
"Illusion!... I can't.. This women is driving me more mad than I already am.. Your mother has changed, and it's time we forget about her and see a new chaotic light. We are going home.. Don't you miss living in the chaos realm? It's boring here.." He made a fake laugh at the end, but not looking at his son in the eye's. Discord took a quick glance at his son and saw sorrow and slight anger in his eye's. "Son.. I can't lie anymore.. I just can't do this anymore, I'm the lord of chaos I wasn't built for this.. I regret everything, I regret marrying Celestia, I regret even coming here, I regret leaving most of my chaos behind.."
"You regret having a life?.. You regret me? You regret marrying the only pony whose ever loved you? Father, are you blind? You got three loving children who love you! Friends who care about you! And... I'm sorry my mother made some mistakes. I once thought she was the fool, but you're the fool for not seeing how much she actually cares! You know how hard it is to rule a kingdom? To make time for family? At one point mother had nobody! But.. Aunt Twilight, she told me once she married you that emptiness was filled.. She loves you dad, but I wish you could see that.." Illusion yelled at the end, before quickly running off. Discord's ear's lowered, chaos wouldn't save him now. Illusion ran to Fluttershy, a great friend of his. "F-fluttershy?" Her soft gaze turned to Illusion.
"What is it Illusion? Do you need something?" Her voice soft and caring.
"Did my dad, tell you we are moving back? To the chaos realm.." I begun to tear up. "I can't do this anymore Fluttershy, my family is upside down! I feel empty.. My sister Harmony can't handle it either! Long ago we where a family, now it's torn apart..." I sighed as Fluttershy giggled a bit, I was slightly confused. "What's so funny?" She wiped away my years.
"Many many years ago a pony, a princess perhaps complained about a chaotic creature, yet she was blinded by his past deeds. Though that creature stole her heart one day, listen.. Illusion, you're father isn't always a funny and happy creature.. Hes more than you think, he loves you're mother with all his heart I can see it every time he looks at her.. While Celestia loves him, shes just afraid, shes not mad at Discord shes mad at herself.. Shes afraid she can't change and she'll let you all down again. Illusion......... They where mean't to be together, but there is one thing blocking them from eachother. Their beliefs, remove that block and I promise everything will be alright again.. Celestia is just like Discord and Discord is just like Celestia." Fluttershy smiled, and that moment I knew what I had to do. I thanked Fluttershy and flied back to the castle.

Celestia walked in, her eye's filled with sadness. "So you're leaving?...." Discord sighed, and nodded, a frown on his face. "Look.. Dissy.. I'm sorry, without you and my children I'd be insane.. Before you leave, I'd like to inform you that there is a gala tonight.. would you like to join me? Just one gala so I can have a full goodbye.."
"Fine... Hopefully, this is worth my time.." Discord once more sighed and continued packing.
