Origins
“It’s not fair!” a 4 year-old Luna exclaimed as 7-year old Celestia played with her new crown. “I want to be the new princess!”
“now be fair, Luna.” their mother said. “Celestia was the first born so she’s the Princess of Ponyland.”
Filly Luna didn’t like it and threw a fit instead. “But I want to be the princess! It’s just not fair! I want it, I want it, I want it!”
Filly Celestia rolled her eyes and smacked Luna on the head. “Shut up! I’m the princess, now deal with it!” Luna, now super pissed at her sister, teared up and ran out of their home as fast as she could. “cry-baby.” Celestia said with a huff. Her mother smacked her on the head, harder then what Celestia did to Luna. “ow! Mom!”
“Go apologize to your sister!” she said. “she’s younger then you and she’s not good with making friends.”
“but mom, she…”
“Go!” she said with force.
Celestia, caught off guard by that, followed her orders. She put her crown down and went after Luna.
Celestia descended down the castle walkway, headed though the town, and walked into the woods that surrounded her home town. Whenever Luna ran away, she always went into the woods. And she’s getting bolder each time, too, going in deeper every time.
“Lulu!” she called out. “I swear, that girl is going to run away so far, she’ll be at the moon.” she sighed. “LULU!” she yelled out. Celestia went ‘ugh’ as she walked further in, walking past her sister’s hiding spot. Her shouting also got the attention of a young serpent-like creature with different limbs made from different animals.
Celestia sighed after a half-hour of searching. “Lulu… you didn’t really run away, did you?” she sadly said as she continued on.
The serpent creature slithered though the trees above, watching the filly as she walked. It was mesmerized by her big pink flowing mane and her voice. “(never saw her before.)” he thought to himself. “(but by the looks of it, she’s a Alicorn. And mother told me that Alicorn’s are deadly monsters but she doesn’t look like a monster.)”
Celestia sensed something off in the forest. She stopped in mid-step and glanced back for a couple seconds before moving on. “Lulu! Come on, Lulu. This isn’t funny.” the serpent creature slithered though the trees, keeping up with her. “if it helps, I promise I won’t yell at you. … for the rest of the day.”
The serpent felt bad for her and started to get worried. The woods can get pretty dangerous at night and he doubts that the pink-haired Alicorn can handle them. So… he was forced to do something her family told him not to do: he went to talk with a pony.
“Lulu!” the serpent appeared right beside her, scaring Celestia quite a bit.
“missing someone, are we?” he asked.
“un…” Celestia wasn’t sure what to make of this. This was a new species she never saw before talking to her. “un… yeah. My sister.”
“if she’s a blue un…. Un…. I’m sorry, I’m not sure what kind of species you are.”
Celestia chuckled. He doesn’t know what she is. “hmhm. Well, I’m a pony. A special species of pony called a Alicorn. And you?”
“mmm… I think I remember being called a Draconequus.”
“you think? Never heard of someone not knowing what their species is.”
“well… I was never good at school.” he sheepishly said. Celestia chuckled again. “and to answer the original question, your sister is hiding about 50 feet that-a-way.” he pointed behind her. Celestia looked and saw the faint outline of a blue pony.
Celestia face-hoofed. “unbelievable.” she said into her hoof. She angrily looked in that direction and headed over. She peered into the bush Luna was hiding it, scaring her. “Lulu…” Celestia sternly said before using her magic to pull her out by the tail. Luna angrily scoffed and crossed her fore-legs. Celestia turned to the serpent. “thanks for helping me.”
“no prob.” he replied. Celestia bowed to him then headed off back to town. The serpent was curious about this Alicorn. Normally, one would run away in fear thanks to those ghost stories and propaganda the adults spread about how they‘re freaks of nature. But this one… this one was different. She didn’t see him as a freak, but as a friend. Curious why, he headed up into the trees and followed her.
“who was that?” Luna asked as they walked back into town, still being hung by Celestia’s magic.
“I don’t know. We just met. But there was something different about him, though.”
“different how?”
“I don’t know. I think it was because he’s a Draconequus.”
“a what?”
“I don’t know. Think that’s the name of his species. Maybe Cosmos will know.” Luna playfully cooed. Celestia now regretted saying that name. “Please don’t.”
“Tia and Cosmos, sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G.”
“Lulu!” Celestia snapped.
Luna just laughed. “it was too perfect to resist.” she continued laughing as they approached their castle home.
The serpent creature followed them from the shadows, staying out of view of everypony. He quickly moved across the street and into another alley.
“found Lulu, mom.” Celestia said as she walked into her study. She placed Luna on the floor on her face. Luna looked up at her and snarled.
Their mother was buried in paperwork so she didn’t pay much attention. “That’s nice.”
“and get this. In the woods, I came across a Draconequus. He was really helpful; helped me find Luna.”
“that’s nice.” their mother tonelessly replied.
Celestia’s ears drooped. It was a stupid mistake talking to her when she’s like this. But… she decided to have some fun with it. “mom, I’m pregnant.”
“that’s nice.”
Celestia rolled her eyes and shrugged at Luna, who was laughing. She noticed something flash by the window. Curious, she walked over to look. As she neared it, the thing outside snickered. Celestia already knew who it was. “You can come in, Cosmos.”
The 8-year old black Alicorn with a silver mane poked his head in and chuckled. “how’d you know it was me?” he asked as he climbed in.
“you always pull this stunt, that’s how.”
Cosmos chuckled as he climbed in. Luna spotted something in the other window and went over to investigate. “hello?” she called as she peered out. The serpent creature’s head poked down unexpectedly, causing Luna to yelp.
“hi there.” he nervously said.
“Lulu!” Celestia said as she and Cosmos ran over. “what ha--” she spotted the serpent and chuckled. “You again. What are you doing here? And you can come in.”
The Serpent stayed outside all the same. He wasn’t about to enter a Alicorn palace. “it’s… okay. I’ll stay out here.” he did get comfortable, however. “and I was curious. Nobody has ever shown me kindness before.”
“Really?”
“un… Celestia? Who is this?” Cosmos asked.
“oh, Cosmos. This…. Well, he didn’t tell me his name but he helped me find Lulu when she ran away. Again!” Luna nervously chuckled. “he said he’s a Draconequus. You know what that is?”
“I heard Dad say that name a few times but I didn’t pay any attention.”
“your name is Celestia?” the serpent asked. “that’s a nice name; beautiful, too.” Celestia blushed a bit. “well, my friends call me Dis.”
“okay. Dis.” Celestia said with a smile.
10 years later…
The relationship between Draconequus’ and Alicorns are reaching a breaking point. The ruling families of both species are now, for lack of political terms, full-out yelling. The citizens are ignoring it and acting as if nothing happened, including 4 friends who have been together for 10 years.
The 3 Alicorns sat down in a green field and looked up into the sky, calling out images in the sky.
“hey, look at that one.” the 17-year-old Celestia said, pointing up to a cloud. “that one looks like a bunny.”
“and that one looks like a crown.” the 14-year-old Luna said, pointing at another. “a nice… royal crown.”
The 18-year old Cosmos rolled his eyes and chuckled. Luna’s still obsessing over that after all these years.
Celestia sat up and cracked her back. “what’s taking Dis so long? It’s not like him to be late.”
“he’ll get here when he gets here, Tia.” Luna said.
“and that is now.” Dis slithered up and landed just outside the field. He landed and started walking with a yawn. “Sorry I’m late. Traffic was murder.”
“took you long enough.”
Dis tossed down his bag and laid down next to them. “sorry, but mother was being… stingy.”
“same with ours.” Celestia and Luna said in unison.
“which is odd because she wasn’t like that when she first met you.” Celestia said.
Cosmos shrugged. “sure there’s some reason.”
Night soon fell onto the campsite. The 4 gathered around the campfire as Luna told them a scary ghost story.
“…and then, the Headless Horse reached the unsuspecting pony and then…” Luna jumped up and hit the ground as hard as she could. “Pounced on the pony and gobbled him up.”
The 3 yelled in fear then laughed. “that’s a good story, Luna. Scary but good.” Dis laughed.
“thanks. Just made it up.” she said with a sneer as she strode on over to her spot.
Cosmos used his magic to mess with a timber of the fire. “so… did you hear about what’s happening in the outside world?”
“About the Chaos?” Celestia asked. “yeah. Sounds pretty deadly.”
“Chaos?” Dis asked.
“some term mother’s throwing around. Says there’s creatures out there who don’t follow the rules of the world and have the world as a playground.”
Dis wondered if she means his powers to manipulate his surroundings. “you mean… this?” he snapped his fingers, summoning up a low-level cotton candy cloud.
The 3 just shrugged. Dis summoned up a few cones. They took ‘em and dipped them into the cloud. “Oh, Dis. I love how you’re able to make these yummy clouds.” Celestia chuckled.
“you think that’s something?” Dis laughed. “this is something a baby can do in it’s sleep.”
“but it’s so yummy.” Luna said, taking a big bite out of hers.
Cosmos patted his hooves on the ground for a second. “do you guys think… we’ll always be together like this?” The other 3 blinked for a moment, looked at each other, then back at Cosmos. “I mean, as friends. Sooner or later, we’re gonna have to go our separate ways. It’s possible that… we may nev--”
“Don’t say that.” Celestia interrupted. “we’ll always be together. I feel it in my gut and it has never steered me wrong.”
Luna’s eyes closed halfway. “Really?” she listlessly asked. “did you forget that Ursa Minor a few days ago?”
She had forgotten about that. She closed her eyes and chuckled nervously as her face flushed. “well… most of the time.”
As time passed, the campers gradually fell asleep. First Cosmos, then Luna. Celestia was struggling to keep her eyes open as she watched the fire dance. Her heavy sleepy eyes closed and her head fell onto Dis’s left shoulder, much to his surprise. She immediately began to dream, dream about this most cutest Alicorn she had ever met; the Alicorn that was right across from her.
“you are so cute…” she said in her dream-like state. “I hope you never leave…”
Dis, not knowing it was for a Alicorn and not knowing she was half-asleep, took that to mean him. “(Celestia… think’s I’m cute…)” he looked at his hands. “(she’s able to look past this and see someone… cute…?)” he looked at her and smiled. “(how do you like that?)”
The next morning, they packed up the camp before moving to their next site. There were missing one, however.
“where the heck is Tia?” Luna asked, looking around to find her.
“I think she walked off into the woods.” Cosmos said. “and she was looking at me all weird, too.”
“how weird?”
“like… un… um… *claps hooves together* like one of those girls from one of her romance cartoons.”
Luna gagged and stuck her tongue out. “*Hacks* ugh. You won’t see me acting like that. No way, no how.”
Cosmos chuckled at it. She’s gonna go though it eventually. He used his magic to put his sleeping bag in his pack when he noticed that they were missing someone else. “where’d Dis go?”
Dis slowly walked though the woods, carrying some flowers that he had summoned with his powers. “(okay, Dis. Just be confident, play it cool, and tell Celestia she’s cute, just like how she told you last night.)” he walked around and tree and saw something that made him stop in his tracks.
Celestia hummed to herself as she used her magic to pull petals off a flower. “he loves me… he loves me not… he loves me… he loves me not…” she happily closed her eyes when she reached the last one. “he loves me!”
she heard footsteps behind her and kept her eyes closed. He was about to speak but she cut him off. “I know you’re there.” she used her magic to pull him closer. “Shh shh shh. Please, don’t say a word.” she ran her hoof though his fur and heard him shiver. She leaned in close and whispered into his ear. “let this be… perfect…”
She kissed him full on the lips and lost all meaning to the outside world.
Dis’s eyes went wide when Celestia kissed him.
“(oh my Faust, she’s kissing me! If this is a dream, I don’t want to wake up.)”
Celestia broke the kiss and smiled. “huh. Tastes like bubblegum.” bubblegum? Dis breathed into his hand and smelled it. Holy crap, it does. She turned his back to him. “I’ll meet you back at camp. I just want to… take it all in.”
Dis did just that and disappeared. Celestia finally opened her eyes and fell to the ground, so very very glad she did what she did. Her first kiss… and it was perfect.
Dis reappeared in camp with a really funny look on his face. Luna noticed this and scowled. “what happened?” she asked.
“n-nothing.” he disappeared and reappeared next to his bags.
Celestia returned to the camp as dreamily as she can be. “la da la la-da-la-da la da-da da-da…”
“well, someone’s in a happy mode.” Luna joked.
Celestia dreamily sighed and laid her head on her bags. “and why shouldn’t I?” she sighed in a heavenly manner.
Cosmos finished packing his bags and stopped to think. “(maybe… I should tell her… before things get weird.)” he put down his bags and walked over to Celestia. “um… Tia?”
“yes, Cosmos?”
“um… can I talk to you in private?”
Private? Didn’t they just have a private moment? “sure…?” Celestia got up and walked off with Cosmos.
“what do you think they’re going to talk about?” Dis asked Luna as he packed Celestia’s bags for her.
“who knows? Could be anything.”
Cosmos lead Celestia to the same spot she had mistakenly kissed Dis. She was still confused as to why he lead her back here. “what’s going on, Cosmos?”
Cosmos nervously scratched his neck. This is either his worst idea or his best. Well, only one way to find out. He took a deep breath and kissed Celestia full on the lips. Celestia went wide-eyed at first then gave in to his embrace. “(he wanted to… do this himself… didn’t he?)” she asked herself as she kissed back.
5 years later…
The Draconequus’ and the Alicorns are at all-out war and the Alicorn’s are losing to the Draconequus’ powers over manipulation, which the ponies have decided to call Chaos. As a result, Alicorn scientist are quickly working on a biological weapon that will gain them victory. The 4 friends are having difficulty keeping together, since they are suppose to be enemies. And things are going to get really hairy.
Celestia sat by herself in the bathroom, holding a small stick with her magic. “Please no, please no, please no, please no, please no.” a blue line appeared on the stick, making Celestia groan in a give up-ish tone. “Oh, boy.” She rubbed her neck and tossed the stick into the garbage. “Cosmos isn’t going to like this.”
Dis appeared in the castle courtyard and quickly moved behind a statue to hide from a patrol. He peered out, made sure they were gone, and slithered into the Alicorn castle.
Luna walked though a corridor, looking at some papers, when Dis suddenly appeared. “Ah.” Luna dropped the papers in her yelp. “Dis! Warn me before you do something like that.”
“sorry.” Dis whispered. “just a bit… edgy.”
Luna used her magic to gather up the papers. “yeah. This war has everyone on edge. Why our parents decided to throw this stupid war is beyond me.”
“I know. I tried to talk mine out of it but they wouldn’t listen.”
Luna chuckled. “guess we get more stubborn as we get older, don’t we?”
“looks like it. Un… do you know where Celestia is? I got to talk to her about something.”
“yeah. She should be in her room. But be careful; mother ordered all Draconequus’ to be killed on site. No exceptions of who.”
Dis felt uneasy. Seems the Alicorns are stepping up their game. “okay.”
Dis snuck down the hallway leading to Celestia’s room, sneaking past any guards on the way. He almost got caught once when he knocked over a vase but was able to use his powers to turn himself into a replacement until the guards moved on. He almost lost a letter he had wrote to help express it but was able to recover it in time.
He reached Celestia’s room and was about to knock on it when he heard voices inside.
“…mos, it’s my decision on what to do with it. And if you want to help, you can.”
Dis heard Cosmos angrily scoff and walk around. “how could you get yourself into this situation?”
“I don’t know. It was just… a accident. A accident I’m gonna have to live with. What about you, Cosmos?”
“I’m not sure. I just… I need to think about it.” Dis heard a window open. “I have to go on assignment. When I get back, you’ll have my answer.” he heard wings flap and fade away. Celestia depressingly sighed.
Dis waited a few moments before knocking on her door. “Tia? You in there?”
She didn’t reply for a few moments but, after a while… “yeah. Come on in, Dis.”
Dis opened the door and saw Celestia laying back on her bed, holding her forehead. “is something wrong?”
“yeah. Something is… very wrong.” she sat up and hugged a pillow. During those 5 years, Celestia learned that it was Discord she had kissed for the first time and not Cosmos back in those woods. She had been hoping for some alone time to talk to him. “listen… Dis… we need to have to talk.”
“same here.” Dis came by with the intention of telling her how he felt about her ever since that day. He also never found out that Celestia and Cosmos were one of the hottest couples in town. “but you first.”
She sighed. This was going to be difficult. “Dis… I’m pregnant.”
Dis’s heart sank when he heard it. “p-pregnant?” she slowly nodded. “wha… how? When?”
“last night. I was cutting though a alley so I don’t get punished for breaking curfew when someone attacked me and… and…” she didn’t finish the sentence but Dis pieced together what happened. “and I wasn’t feeling well when I woke up so took a test. It was positive.”
Dis found this hard to believe. Celestia was one of the toughest Alicorn’s he knew. And super beautiful to boot. He can’t picture her with a preggo belly. “so… why did you tell Cosmos? Before you ask, I heard you at the door. I didn’t hear all of it, though.”
“well… *sigh* and I was hoping to tell you this some other time; let you down easy, but…” Dis cocked his head in confusion. “me and Cosmos… we’ve been dating since the camping trip 5 years ago.”
Dis’ heart sank even further, as well as shatter. “w-what?”
“yeah. I meant to break it to you slowly bu--” Dis didn’t want to hear it and immediately left. “Dis!” she got up to chase him but he snapped his fingers and disappeared, dropping his letter. Celestia noticed this, picked it up, and felt her heart sink when she was what was written on it. “Dis…”
The Alicorn army gathered above the Draconequus capital city, ready to bring an end to this long war. Cosmos joined the leaders, clad in battle armor. “is it ready to go?” he asked one of them.
“he is as ready as can be.” Starswirl the Bearded said. “but… he is rather violent.”
“Good.” Cosmos looked up into the sky.
A large spiral cocoon fell from the sky and towards the town. The cocoon broke and turned into wings. The creature they belonged to flipped backwards and crashed into the middle of town, causing a large amount of dirt to kick up, obscuring what it was. A beam of blue light shot out of the dirt and hit the town, causing a large explosion. The dust dispersed with a flap of the creatures wings, revealing a large and deadly dragon.
Another explosion rocked the town as Dis reappeared in his home, tears in his eyes. “So… so she was just leading me on…” he silently sobbed and wiped his eyes. Another explosion hit, breaking him out of his tearful session. “oh no.” he ran down the hall.
“Mom! Mom, we got trouble!” he ran into his parents study and saw a horrifying image.
Using his magic, Cosmos pulled a sword out of the bodies of the two lead Draconequus’. he turned to leave when he saw a horrified Dis standing in the doorway. “oh no.” he gasped. He looked between him and the dead leaders. “oh no. these are… oh, Faust. Dis, I didn‘t know.”
Dis made a fist hard enough to draw blood. “You…” Dis snarled in anger. “I’m Gonna Make You And Your Kind Pay For This!” he yelled as he snapped his fingers and disappeared. In the process, he caused a explosion that sent Cosmos right into a bookcase, making it collapse on him.
Celestia paced back and forth in her mother’s study, worried for both Cosmos and Dis. She didn’t mean to break Dis’s heart like that. She had hoped to do it slowly and not have it come out like that.
“Tia…” Luna said with concern, watching her sister pace. The door to the study opened, making both the sisters look.
Cosmos limped on in with bandages covering his legs and body. “Cosmos!” Celestia exclaimed. She ran over and hugged him. “thank goodness you’re okay!” Cosmos begrudgingly returned her hug. Celestia silently sniffled as she broke her hug with his boy-toy. “Cosmos… I made a stupid mistake… It has to do with Dis…”
11 months later…
The Draconequus are now fully and completely wiped out. The Alicorns are now in total control of the new country they call Equestria. The Alicorns decided to use their powers to govern their new world and the ponies now have complete control over everything; the weather, the flora, the fauna. Almost everything really. It’s also been 11 months since they last saw Dis. Tia, Lulu, and Cosmos believe that he’s dead.
The first major event in the countries history was the marriage of Celestia and Cosmos. The second biggest event is happening right now.
Luna paced back and forth in the waiting room at the hospital. Her sister is now giving birth to her niece. She went into labor 20 hours ago and started pushing half a hour ago. And Tia’s suppose to be the strong sister. She sat down in a chair and looked at Celestia’s room. “please be okay, Tia.”
“AAAAAHHHH!!!!”
A contraction hit the newly christened Princess of the Sun as she tried to push her daughter out. “Oh, I’m gonna kill whoever knocked me up!”
Cosmos nodded in agreement. “well, if you do find him, be sure to bring me along.”
“okay, Princess. the baby is starting to crown. One more push and she should be out.”
Celestia panted, thankful that this is almost over. She should‘ve gotten the epidural when she got the chance. “Okay… okay… okay…”
“just one more push and we’re gonna be parents.” Cosmos said with a smile.
A very tired Celestia smiled back. “thanks… for being there for me.” she panted. As soon as the next contraction hit, she pushed down again.
Outside in the rain, Dis watched from the window with a somber expression but was really angry inside. “(Celestia and Cosmos. Bah. She should be with me. We’re the better couple.)” a realization hit him; something he had never considered before. “(unless… she was just having fun at my own expense with this. That bitch! She was just using me. She never cared about me.)” something inside him snapped, replacing what love he had for Celestia with anger. He now hates her with every fiber of his being.
He heard a baby’s cry. He looked in and saw a very tired Celestia grabbed her new daughter with happy tears in her eyes. “hello there, Erys. I’m your mommy.” she sweetly said. Cosmos rubbed her back and nuzzled up next to her.
“(Erys… the female version of the name Dis…)” normally, one would be happy that someone used their name. not him, though. he looked at the baby Alicorn and got a deadly plan in his eyes. “(I have great plans for you.)” he snapped his fingers and disappeared.
The large dragon from the assault that killed his parents was chained to the wall and sleeping like a baby. Actually, he is a baby. He only is 11 months old, anyhow. Dis appeared in front of him, waking him up. The Dragon snarled and tried to bite him.
“calm down.” Dis snapped his fingers. Cotton candy clouds appeared and wrapped around his mouth. “my. You are a violent creature, aren’t you? Of course, that’s what you were raised to do, aren’t you? A creature of no remorse, with no feelings for anyone around him. A creature incapable of love, no matter how hard you try. you know only how to rain down death and destruction. You will never break loose of such destructive powers, no matter how hard you try. And I can use that.”
He snapped his fingers yet again. The monster was quickly and inexplicably turned into a small marble. Or rather, the essence of a egg. He grabbed it in his fingers and chuckled. “in 2000 years, in case I fail, you will be reborn just as you are; as violent, as deadly, as destructive.” he snapped his fingers, sending it into a chaos vortex where it will remain for the next 2 millennia. “see you in 2000 years…” Dis chuckled evilly and disappeared.
2 years later…
Not long after Erys was born, Celestia’s and Luna’s mother died, leaving the 2 sisters and Cosmos in charge of the fledgling country. Luna started to get jealous of the ponies playing in Celestia’s day and not her night. It ate at her but she kept it far in the back of her mind. It wasn’t going to be a problem; she was sure.
Erys quickly grew from a sweet little baby into a hyper-active toddler that was driving her parents wild. Still, Celestia considers her to be the best thing that ever happened to her.
But… everything will change today…
“Don’t go too far, Erys.” her mother called out. Celestia smiled as she saw her daughter run off. She reminds her so much of herself when she was Erys’ age.
Erys laughed as she ran after a butterfly. She jumped up to catch it but missed. She jumped up again and missed again.
Erys landed at the foot of someone’s… well, foot. She looked up and noticed a serpent creature with different limbs. “well… aren’t you the cute little fuss-bucket?” he said with a snarky tone. Erys felt something both scary and familiar about him. Unfortunately, the scary part is what’s the focus today.
“MOMMY!”
That yell for help got the attention of the 3 Alicorns and one ultra-powerful Unicorn. “Erys!” Celestia gasped before running in. Luna, Cosmos, and Starswirl ran after her.
They ran into the castle courtyard to see a Draconequus holding Erys by her mane. Immediately, they took up battle positions. “Let Her Go!” Cosmos threatened.
“Um… no.”
Celestia recognized the voiced instantly. Could it be him? After all this time. “Dis?”
Dis wasn‘t sure she was going to remember him after all this time. “You do remember me? Well, I was so worried you wouldn’t. oh, just thinking about it filled me with grief.” he said in a joking manner.
“Dis… what are you doing? We have so much to catch up on.”
“do we?” he angrily asked. “let’s see. You broke my heart, you married the monster who killed my parents, you had a bastard child who you technically named after me, you’re ruling the country that wiped my species to the ground! There, that caught up enough for you?!”
His angry tone caught Celestia off guard. “D-dis…”
“What do you want?” Cosmos angrily asked.
Dis chuckled evilly. “revenge. Revenge for you all eradicating my species!” he evilly looked at Erys. “and I know a good place to start.”
Celestia’s good feeling from reuniting with her good friend turned into anger as soon as he threatened Erys. “you touch one hair on her head or so help me, I’m going to make you pay!”
Dis chortled and snapped his fingers. Erys yelled as she disappeared in the same manner as Oscurita. “Go on. Make my day!”
Celestia couldn’t believe what she saw. Her best friend… just killed her daughter. That’s it. No more little miss nice pony. If he wants to die, so be it. “You… how could you! WE WERE THE BEST OF FRIENDS, DIS!”
“Were being the right word.” he replied. “And it’s not Dis anymore…” He rose up into the air and got comfortable as his former friends got into battle positions. “… it’s Discord.”
Celestia’s anger reached a boiling point. “Dis…” a few tears fell from her eyes as she accepted it with a broke heart. Her best friend… was now her greatest enemy. “Discord!.. I’m gonna make you pay!!! YOU HEAR ME!?! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID!!! YOU ARE GOING TO PAY!!!” she powered up her magic and shot at him.
And thus, Celestia’s and Discord’s rivalry was born. Their war lasted for 900 years and almost tore the world apart.
During their war, Discord was able to capture Cosmos inside a little black pearl which he placed inside her body close to his black heart but, since he disappeared like how Erys did, Celestia believed him to be dead.
At the end of his life, Starswirl used the last of his powers to grant Celestia and Luna the gift of immortality. He saw that this war was going to last for a long time and that they would receive powerful help in the future to help defeat him just before he passed on.
After 900 years, Celestia and Luna were forced to use a forbidden power from the dawn of the planet that they were told never to use except in emergencies.
