Hemera Origin: Part 1

>You are Celestia
>You shift slightly against the weight in your saddlebags, reassuring yourself as you walk
>You glance sideways at your sister
>She marches silently beside you, her face set in a determined scowl
>Across the ever shifting landscape a small hill comes into view.
>A hill with a small throne on top, facing away
>You take a deep breath, this is it
>Years of planning and questing and struggling have led to this moment
>You copy your sister's hard expression, drawing some strength from her presence
>As you approach the throne turns to face the two of you
"Oh, this is SO much FUN! How about a game of Pin the Tail on the Pony?"
>You hold back a shudder and try not to imagine Discord's version of that game
>"Play time is OVER for you, Discord!"
>You know you only have seconds as this could all go wrong at any moment
>Your horn begins to glow as you quickly empty your saddlebags, Luna is in perfect sync
"Oh I doubt that."
>The mad creature merely watches while gluttonously munching clawfulls of something from a paper bag
"Hungry?.....Suit yourselves. OH! What have you got there?"
>You try to maintain your composure as you get pelted in the face with a few bits of his snack
>"The Elements of Harmony."
>Luna can't help but to finally speak up, she's really come a long way during this trial.
"With them, We shall defeat you!"
>Discord laughs. He's always laughing
>Your courage falters a bit at that, but your sister only looks more determined and
>her expression shores up your resolve
>In the glow of your combined magic the Elements beging to rotate and surround you both
>Enclosed in their unique magic, Discord doesn't look nearly as imposing
>We can WIN!
"You should SEE yourselves right now! The expressions on your face! So intense. So sure of yourselves!"
>The magic builds to a crescendo, and cascades upward
"HILARIOUS!"
>You feel the backblast of magic as it impacts the top of the hill and envelops his entire form
>His whole body is quickly converting to stone, still stuck in that position of confidence and laughter
>You can still hear his voice echo in your mind as your spell completes its effect
"You can't defeat me my little pony! For as much as you've contained me here (bravo by the way) you haven't stopped the ME that's inside YOU."
>It's over.
>What was that last part about? Discord is in me?
>You look at Luna, her satisfied face.
>In us?
>We'll see about THAT!
>If you have your way, neither Discord, nor chaos itself will ever again threaten your land or your people
>And you're pretty sure you know just how to stop it.
