Hemera Origin: Final Part

>You are Celestia
>The glow of your horn fades away taking with them the
>images surrounding you leaving a nebulous, starry background
"Well that was certianly entertaining. You could at least have provided snacks, Princess."
>Discord turns toward you, his eyes dancing with laughter
>You open your mouth to respond...
"But did you really have to summon me in the middle of afternoon tea?"
"Fluttershy and I were going to go get our faces painted afterwards too"
>"Stop playing games, Discord. You know very well what this is about."
"But games are soooo much FUN."
"Now, I'm a fan of home movies (you should see mine of last summer at EuroDisney)"
"But if that's all you wanted to show me, Celestia, I should really be getting back"
>You stamp your hoof and glare at him
>"Discord, I am acknowledging my part in all of this, but this is getting out of hand"
>"You've shown that you can change, so stop playing innocent. Ponies are getting hurt"
"You know you were a lot more interesting when you were the bearer of Laughter, Kindness, and Magic"
>Discord vanishes and reappears coiled loosely around you
"We did have some fun back in the old days"
>As you jerk your head to snap at him he is suddenly across the way putting on a hat and driving gloves
"But whatever problems you are having, dear Princess are no fault of mine"
>"Are you really going to stand there and deny the curse you placed on my Sister and I?"
>"I've just shown you that I recall those events with perfect clarity"
>"And while my project worked perfectly to contain your influence, I didn't anticipate the effects
>of returning the Elements to the Tree of Harmony"
"A rather GLARING oversight, don't you think?"
"Kind of telling that your Greatest, most IMPORTANT project had such a huge flaw?"
"Could it be that such a Weakness makes a Statement about your methods?"
>Discord lazily reclines on a fainting couch you're pretty sure you recognize and pulls out a bag of black seeds
>You evaporate the sack and its contents immediately
"I'm sure I wouldn't know. I'm no Twilight Sparkle after all."
>He shakes the ash from his claw and munches on his quesadilla
>Your wings unfurl as your frustration builds to critical mass
"And yet there you stand having shown me all of your precious memories concerning your little idea"
"And you have the gall to say that it's all MY fault? You WOUND me Celestia"
"I do believe I've mentioned before that I'm not the sort to turn a pony to stone"
"If a parting comment between rivals inspired you in some fashion then I'm Happy I could be your muse"
>"My MUSE?"
>You fight to calm yourself as you watch the weird being play croquet
>"No, you're not entirely to blame, I did not realize that the elements would take that part of me into the
>Tree with them, nor that that the Tree's influence would cause it to manifest physically"
>"But I already have one guard in critical condition, an incinerated criminal and a very confused Alicorn"
>"Discord, the chaotic magic you invested in me is too much for her to handle!"
>The cardboard box he was signing for slips from his claws as he stares at you with wide eyes (and what's "Amazon"?)
"Who in the where, now?"
>"DISCORD!"
"Celestia I have no idea what you are talking about now. What Alicorn?"
>You see his eyes gleam brightly and narrow in thought as the cogs beneath his mismatched horns turn furiously
>"You...you really don't know what I'm talking about..."
>Your haunches hit the 'floor', your wings flapping bonelessly at your sides
"Princess Celestia, light of my life, are you saying that you have a daughter?"
>"meep"
>Discord quite literally explodes
>You don't even notice as bits of Discord rain around your slightly blackened form
"Eeek! This is going STRAIGHT into my diary! Only YOU could accidentally procreate."
"My vlog is going to hit seven digits!"
>Your mind is solid static. The prancing immortal's antics are lost on you.
>"You never cursed us. You didn't DO anything..."
"For the third and final time Queen Mother Celestia, I don't go around cursing ponies"
"That's something ponies do to each other."
"All those years ago I was merely commenting on the fact that chaos is in everything."
"You were never really trying to fight me, Princess. It was the IDEA of me that you took such issue with"
>"You ruled Equestria with an iron claw, inflicting endless misery and suffering on my ponies"
"Says something about your priorities, doesn't it?"
"Now if you'll excuse me I have some bets to collect in Tartarus, and I should still be back in time for face paint."
>He vanishes in a flash of light leaving behind a baby carriage with a big pink ribbon on it and several balloons
>"I have to talk to Luna...and get myself cleaned up"
>The shock hasn't worn off quite yet as you stagger to your hooves
>Whatever comes next you'll have to stop using your position to avoid that little filly
>"I have to talk to Hemera too"
