“Where is the bride and groom?” Pinkie and Sprinkle said in unison. Both mother and daughter were pacing opposite one another as they waited.

“Don’t worry so much.” Fluttershy said as she held Snafu and watched Pinkie and Sprinkle pace. “They know about the reception. They’ll be here.”

Twilight helped Celestia walk into the ballroom. “Just sit here Princess, I’ll be right back with some tea for you.”

Luna walked over to her sister. “How are thee?”

Celestia looked at her sister. “I could be better. I shouldn’t have let you and Twilight talk me into coming to the wedding. I’m exhausted by just sitting up.”

“’Tis was best ye had been here. The ponies respect thee and seeing thee has made them less frightened on the future of the kingdom.” Luna stated as she sat with her sister. “Discord has been a good replacement until thou returns. There was never a doubt that ye would return.”

“There wasn’t? Twilight told me that she thought she’d almost lost me.” Celestia said.

“Twilight is very excitable sister. Is one of the reasons why we didn’t choose her for thou’s replacement.” Luna said calmly. “In a few more years, she may be a better choice.”

Celestia nodded as she looked at Twilight as she came back to the table. “I agree with you Luna.”

Paradox stood and switched from one hoof to the other. He leaned on the cane his father gave him as he watched his friend Crispin walk down the aisle with Sprinkle Icing then took the spot next to Paradox.

“She looks beautiful.” Crispin whispered to Paradox.

“Hrrgah.” Was all Paradox could say as he swallowed hard.

The other two joined them up on the dais. Paradox was starting to shake like a leaf.

“It’ll be alright.” Zero whispered to him. “Breathe.”

The music changed and Paradox stood up straight. Every pony stood up and turned to look at the doors.

“Omygosh! Omygosh! Omygosh!” Silver started to say in quick succession. “I’m freaking out.”

“Calm down.” Mac said. “Remember yer not alone.”

She took in a deep breath. “Okay, I can do this.”

Mac opened the doors and they both started down the aisle.

120.

“Gorgeous…” Paradox sighed as he stared at her. His legs felt weak and he swore his heart just skipped several beats.

In the front row a pony had started to sob and cry.

121.

Silver heard ponies gasp at her beauty, some were mumbling about Big Mac and she smiled. Her dad was always popular with the mares but they never knew why he stayed a bachelor. Silver now knew why and she was okay with it. She looked up at the dais and saw Luna standing and waiting. She glanced at her friends Lilly, Sprinkle and Scarlet Grace and smiled. She then looked at Paradox and blushed despite herself. He looked so handsome and so nervous.

Celestia was sitting next to Twilight, she had a bandages around her wings but she was awake and smiling. “Are you sure that Luna can do this ceremony?”

“You’re recovering from being in a deep coma I think your sister can handle this.” Twilight stated. “I am so glad you’re back though. I missed you.”

“I am glad you and the others never gave up on me.” She whispered. “From what I see even Discord was able to keep himself under control.”

Twilight laughed. “I think you have Fluttershy to thank for that. Every time he got too rambunctious she stepped in and told him what she thought.”

Celestia started to laugh. “Oh, I should allow him to take over more often.”

Twilight gasped. “You’re not serious are you?”

Celestia started to giggle. “Of course I am. I love the way Discord stirs things up.”

Twilight blinked at her. “Um… you do?”

“Yes. I’m glad he and his children are here and even better that they have helped me recover. I still don’t think I’ll be ready until another month.”

Twilight Sparkle was looking at the main ballroom, it was decorated immaculately. She glanced over and saw Princess Luna in her ceremonial dress and she was telling the guards where to stand.

Twilight rearranged the chairs again. Making sure they were organized precisely where they should be. She saw the doors open and Pinkie Pie bounced in, followed by Apple Jack and Rarity. Twilight waved them over to her.

“Darling this place looks absolutely divine.” Rarity beamed.

Apple Jack was last to join them because she was talking to Apple Bloom and Big Mac and telling them where she was going to be sitting. She walked to Twilight and her other friends. “Crispin being part of the ceremony makes me feel so proud.” She said.

“About as exciting as Sprinkle Icing being the maid of honor.” Pinkie giggled. “It’s almost as if she’s the one getting married.”

“Actually, AJ, I’m glad that your brother is here.” Twilight spoke up.

Apple Jack blinked. “Huh? Why’s that?”

“He needs to be a part of the ceremony.” Twilight stated. “Go get him we have a tuxedo to put him in.”

“Yer gonna have to explain this to me later Twi.” AJ muttered as she went over to her brother.

Big Mac looked at his sister after she talked to him. He shook his head, but Apple Bloom nudged him. He sighed and approached Twilight and the others. “Ya want me?”bigmacintosh

Twilight nodded. “Yes.” She waved to a guard. The guard approached. “Take Big Macintosh to the changing rooms. Follow the guard Mac. We need you to give the bride away. Rainbow Dash is way too emotional to do it.”

“Um, yeah but why me?” He asked.

“Silver Dash is requested you.” Twilight stated. “That is all I know.”

He gulped as he followed the guard.

Blinking his eyes Discord was standing in a hallway of dream doors. One door opened and Luna walked out. “Greetings Element of Chaos. First we shall find Twilight.”“Sure thing Luna.” Discord replied as he looked at the doors.

Luna walked along the hallway leading him towards one door. She placed a hoof on it then looked back at him. “Please do not judge Twilight on this dream she is having a very difficult time adjusting. The wisp from the Spring of Eternity has planted a thought in her that she cannot shake.”

He grinned. “She had told me about some of the things she had dreamt.”

Luna opened the door after nodding. “Now thou will see.”

They both walked in a room that was lit in mint green light. A bed was in the middle of the room and there was a figure tied to it with leather restraints and some chains. Twilight was standing on the bed over the restrained figure.

“Very interesting.” Discord said as his eyebrow went up.

Twilight gasped as she turned around and saw Luna and Discord. “Oh, um I can explain…” The figure on the bed was Twilight’s image of Discord restrained. Her cheeks were bright red as she looked at the real Discord.

“Never mind this.” Luna stated as she moved her hoof and Twilight’s dream faded. “We need thou. We are quite thankful for ye’s help.”lunasmile1She kept blushing as she trotted over to them. “Yes.”

Discord had a smirk on his face as he looked at her. “You think I’d actually allow you to do that to me?” He asked finally.

Twilight looked at him and practically fell over when he held his paw and claw up in leather restraints. “I… um…”discordchained

He made the restraints disappear. “Don’t worry Twilight, I’m just teasing you.”

Luna paused at another door. “We are there. Thou prepared?”

Discord took in a deep breath. Twilight formed her LillyRose disguise as Luna opened the door.

Celestia was sitting at a table with a darkened figure. She had a gag in her mouth and she looked at them with fear in her eyes. When she saw LillyRose and Discord she started to shake her head fast as tears formed in her eyes.

The shadowy figure stood up. “Well, thissss issss not what I expected. Luna you have decided to give me sssomething that I had desssired? How generoussss.”

Discord stepped forward. “It was my idea. I decided to join you. Only if you release Princess Celestia.”

“Excellent.” The shadow slowly approached Discord. “What of your daughter here?” It turned to look at Twilight disguised as Lilly.

Discord shook his head. “You don’t want her. She no longer carries the foal you wish to corrupt.”

The figure started to melt a bit turning into a mist and started to slowly wrap around Discord’s legs. “So be it then. Celestia will no longer be possessed by me, I shall take you over. Then after, I’ll convince the rest of your family to join me.”

Discord grit his teeth as the shadow started to run up around his body. He looked over at Celestia as Luna and Twilight, still looking like Lilly, untied her. They both moved as fast as they could, getting Celestia away from the shadow’s influence.

Celestia watched him being taken over. “Don’t let it take you…” She said suddenly as she shrugged out of Luna’s grasp.

“Keep back Tia… it’s the only way…” Discord muttered as the shadow twisted around his waist. “I want you to be safe. Go Celestia. Save yourself…”

Outside the dream.

Celestia awoke and she looked around her room in a panic. Twilight was snuggled in a bed and she saw Luna sitting in her trance-like state when she enters dreams. Right next to Luna was Discord who was twitching oddly.

Celestia started to get up from her bed to go over to her sister and Discord. She fell out of the bed and onto the floor, her legs were so weak. She winced because she had also twisted one of her wings.celestiaawakens

“Discord… Luna… Don’t let it…” she crawled to them. “No… I’d rather be possessed than let it have chaotic magic…” She reached out to them and Discord’s eyes opened.

“Tia?” He looked at her. “Look at you, you’re awake. Long time no see.”

She looked up at him with wide eyes. “Discord? Are you alright?”

He stretched his wings out. “Never better. Now you shouldn’t be on the floor like that.” He stood up and carefully picked her up and walked her back to her bed. “Little steps, you’ve been comatose for a long time. You need to gradually exercise.” He looked at her hurt wing and magically wrapped it in bandages.

Luna awoke from her trance blinking several times and looked over at Discord tucking Princess Celestia in bed. “Thou accomplished it!” She said as she spread her wings and quickly went over to them. “Sister! We are so happy ye is back!” She hugged Celestia and hugged Discord to his surprise.

Twilight sat up in bed. “Did it work?”

“No.” Discord snickered as he looked at her. “The plan failed and Luna is hugging me…”

She looked at him and then saw Celestia awake and coherent. She got out of bed and flew over to them. “Princess Celestia, I’m so happy you’re awake. I was so worried…” she hugged her mentor tightly.

Celestia was shocked by the hug from Luna and Twilight. She looked at Discord. “How did? What happened? Before I awoke you were being taken over…”

“You only thought I was being taken over. I wasn’t really.” He started to laugh. “The demon made a mistake by trusting its eyes.”

“It tried to take me.” Twilight stated. “I was disguised as Discord… when it took me over I was able to defeat it and send it back to Tartarus.”

“Yes, I was actually disguised as LillyRose.” Discord snickered.

Celestia gave him a tight hug to his surprise. “Thank you.” She looked up at him.

“Hey, no big deal. Sorry it took so long to figure it out.” He said as he gave her a gentle hug back. “You need to take it easy though. You twisted your wing and have a bruise on your neck from falling out of the bed.” He stepped away from the three Princesses.

“Yes. We are so glad thou is feeling better.” Luna sniffled. “We shall help in the recovery process.”

“I need to check on Fluttershy and the baby.” Discord said as he started to gradually leave the room.

“A baby?” Celestia asked. “How long was I out?”

“I need to talk with you Discord.” Twilight stated as she left Celestia’s side to walk out of the room with Discord. Luna started to explain to Celestia all the things that transpired while she was comatose.

“What is it Twilight?” He asked as he looked at her.

Twilight hugged him suddenly. His ears went up in shock then he gently hugged her back. “Thank you.” She said softly. “I am so happy that you came up with that plan. I wouldn’t have ever thought of it.”

He shrugged as he let her go from the hug and he leaned over to look into her eyes. “I couldn’t have done it without you.”

She smiled with a blush and she kissed him on his lips. He blinked as his ears went up in shock. He didn’t kiss back but stared at her. She felt her cheeks burning with a blush. “Thanks again.” She whispered timidly and looked away.

He stood up slowly and licked his lips. “You’re welcome…” He quickly turned around, glanced at her again before snapping his fingers to disappear.

“I believe I have figured it out.” Discord stated as he, Luna and Twilight left the room where his wife and daughter were recovering from giving birth. “We have been going about this shadow business at the wrong angle.”

“We are open to any ideas thou may present to us.” Luna said as she looked at him.

“I believe Celestia is still possessed, but not with the shadow that possessed you Luna, but she is possessed by a lesser demon.” He started to grin. “And I think I know how to lure it away.”

“What are you thinking?” Twilight asked warily.

He started to laugh more. “I’m going to offer myself to it.”

Both Luna and Twilight looked at him.

“Don’t you both start talking me out of it at once. The outpouring of your concern is overwhelming.” He said sarcastically as he made a face.

Luna looked at him directly. “We do not think it is wise for thou to do this. Thou is quite powerful; we would hate to have to punish thou for something ye cannot help.”

Discord looked at her in surprise. “I think I can overpower this lesser demon, but I’ll need your help Luna. Same with you Twilight.”

“Me?” Twilight asked. “Why me?”

“You see, this lesser demon I believe is working for my brother. My brother is a stronger demon in Tartarus and cannot leave that realm without Aidoneus’ permission but is sending this demon to torment my family and initially… the main possession of Celestia was to lure me and my children out to be possessed as well. It didn’t know that LillyRose was as strong as she is.” He looked at Twilight. “You are going to disguise yourself as Lilly in a way to lure this demon out.”

“I don’t know about this Discord.” Twilight said as she swallowed hard.

“We will have to face this demon in the dream realm. In Celestia’s dreams.” Luna said. “We suggest we do it immediately.”

“Yes, I want to do it before Fluttershy finds out.” He suddenly stopped as he looked back at the room where his wife and daughter were resting.

Twilight saw his look of concern. “Are you sure you want to do this? If you are possessed…”

He leaned over to her and placed his finger on her chin. “That is why I am having you and Luna help me. You both have the power to restrain me.”

Twilight started to blush and she pulled away from him. “If you think so.” She still felt uncomfortable with how he made her feel and her image of him in restraints made her feel weird and uncomfortable.

Luna turned. “Twilight, ye must go to bed, as we explained before, thou has to be asleep before ye can enter the dreams of others.” All three of them went down the hall towards Celestia’s bedroom.

They walked in the room and Discord saw Celestia in the bed sleeping serenely. He approached her slowly and looked at her. “She looks peaceful.”sleepingcele

Luna nodded. “Yes, very misleading.” She pointed to another bed. “Twilight we shall try this again like earlier.”

“But what about the box?” Twilight said as she looked more at Discord than at Luna.

“The magic had already been spent.” Luna said. “Thou will have to make due.”

Twilight gulped. “Alright.” She went over to the bed crawled in it and settled down under the blankets.

Discord turned to Luna. “Promise me that if I am possessed and unable to be controlled, you tell Fluttershy and my family that I love them very much.”

Luna smiled. “Ye can tell them after this is done.” Both of them waited until Twilight was asleep. When she was, Luna blinked as her eyes glowed like the moon. Discord hesitantly reached out and touched Celestia’s temple.

Twilight looked at every pony in the room. “Um… I’ll tell them later.” Her cheeks were burning red.

Discord blinked at her. “Why not tell them now? Aww… did you walk in on them doing something naughty?” He went over to the door.

“Discord, don’t bother your son.” Fluttershy whispered as she held their new foal.

“Yeah dad. He had a lot of emotional backlash from my labor he probably needs the release.” LillyRose said sleepily.

“Alright, I am not sure what you mean…” He strode over to Fluttershy, she handed him their newest addition he looked at the foal and smiled. “Right little Snafu?”

Epona looked at Discord. “Seriously? You named him Snafu?”

“Yes…” He grinned. “What a better name for my foal then a confused and chaotic state of being?”

Epona shook her head. “I would like to go home now.” She went to the door.

Twilight gasped. “I… don’t think that is a good idea.”

“I have to get my foal, they aren’t doing anything I haven’t seen before. If it wasn’t obvious, I have had my fair share of mates.” She looked around the room. Discord was acting like he didn’t know what she was talking about and was whistling as he looked away. Fluttershy looked at Discord and gave small frown. Twilight was blushing and Luna was trying hard not to laugh. Lilly had fallen asleep as Zero was totally oblivious to the conversation as he held their foal. Epona opened the door to go get her foal from Silver and Paradox.

Paradox and Silver were leaning against one another and looked at Epona as she walked in. Silver was holding her foal gently. “Hi Dr. Epona.” Silver said.

“Hello Silver. Thank you for watching Cobalt Lust.” She said as she took the foal from Silver.

“His name is Cobalt Lust? What sort of name is that?” Paradox asked.

Epona laughed. “Oh this foal is special.” She nuzzled her baby. “He has an incredible talent.”

Silver blinked. “And that is?”

“You’ve already experienced it.” Epona said. “Thanks again for watching him.” She nodded as her horn glowed and she disappeared.

Paradox blinked. “We already experienced it?”

Silver laughed. “Think about it Doxy… Were you that horny before you touched his wings and feathers?”

Paradox blinked. “Uh, no.” He then blushed. “Whoa. That foal can be dangerous!”

Both Paradox and Silver sat outside the room as they watched Epona’s foal. Paradox was happy to be away from the noise and confusion of both his mother and sister being in labor. Twilight and Princess Luna had went in to assist with the births.

“Oh Doxy! Look at him, he’s so adorable. He’s a beautiful dark cobalt color. Look at his white muzzle too.” Silver Dash cooed as she looked at Epona’s foal. “He looks like he’s part deer look at his hooves.”

Paradox looked at the foal that Silver was holding. “Silver, I really don’t…” He smiled suddenly. “He has cute little wings! They look iridescent… Awesome.”

Silver nodded as she looked up at him. “I know. He’s adorable. You think we’ll ever have a little one?”

Paradox looked at the foal and didn’t look at Silver at the question. “I don’t know… Maybe… one day.”

Silver blinked at his answer. He didn’t sound like he wanted a foal too soon. She looked at the wings on the foal and gave a deep sigh. “Maybe?” She said softly.

He nodded. “Yeah. I think we should get married first.” He said as he pet the feathers on the foal’s wing. “I wish my feathers gave that sort of shine. Mine are plain old blue.”

“I love your blue wings.” Silver said to him.

He looked up into her silver and magenta eyes. “Thank you.” He said softly. “I love everything about you.” He reached up and placed his paw on her chin. “You have the most beautiful eyes.” He slowly leaned over towards her to give her a kiss.

The door to the room opened, making both Silver and Paradox jump.

Twilight came out of the room she was smiling. “Paradox, you are now an uncle to a beautiful girl named Rune Eclipse. She’s dark taupe with bat wings, she looks like a full pony too. Princess Luna named her.”

Paradox and Silver looked up at her. “Thanks…” Paradox mumbled.

Silver smiled at Twilight. “What about Fluttershy? Has she had her foal yet?” She rocked Epona’s foal as she talked to Twilight.

Twilight shook her head, “Not yet, but I wanted to tell you about Lilly and Zero’s foal. Lilly is now resting.”

“We’re not supposed to sleep.” Paradox said.

“It’s alright.” Twilight said. “I thought your father took care of that?”

Paradox shrugged, “I don’t know. So many things have gone on in the past few hours. I don’t know what to think any more. Thanks for telling us about the foal.”

“You’re welcome.” Twilight looked at Paradox for a moment then walked back into the room.

Silver looked at him. “Doxy? Are you alright?”

“No… Silver… I need you.” He said suddenly.

Silver’s ears went forward. “What? Now? I’m holding a foal.”

Paradox sighed, “Yes, well of course…” He looked at Silver. “I can be discrete, all the emotions that are hitting me all at once when Lilly was transferring her pain to me. I feel extremely needy… I have a lot of pent up desires right now.” He clenched his paws as he moved closer to her. “I need you so bad.” He looked at his mate. “I’m going to go stir crazy. You smell so good…” He leaned forward and nuzzled her mane and took in a deep breath. “Silver…” He sighed.

Silver sighed softly as he nuzzled her neck. “Doxy…” She looked at the foal in her arms and he was sleeping. Paradox kept nuzzling her neck and kissed her softly along her mane. His kisses were making her heat up with desire.

“I need you now.” He whispered as he started to nibble the back off her neck.

“But…” She said softly as she looked at Epona’s foal. She looked around the room and saw a large soft looking pillow nearby. “Doxy, let me get that pillow, please.”

He looked over. “No, here.” A bassinet appeared nearby. “Put him in there.”

She placed the foal in the bassinet, he flapped his wings a little bit and snuggled into the blankets. Silver smiled. “Aww.”

Paradox grabbed her and pulled her to him. “Silver, remember that I need you.” He growled as he began to nibble on her neck again.need

“Ah… I didn’t forget.” She whispered back. “What if some pony walks in?”

“No pony will walk in.” He mumbled as he kissed down her neck. “Silver please…” He put his paw between her legs.

She gasped as he boldly started to rub her sex with his fingers. She felt her legs weaken as he pushed his fingers into her and started to rub and caress. “Oh… Doxy…” She panted.

“Yes…” He said as he moved his paw away as he moved over her.

She blushed as he kissed her neck and rubbed his arousal against her folds. “I hope no pony comes in.” She whispered.

He pushed into her deeply and started to mate with her. “Mmm if they do, they’ll get a show.” He managed to say. “Ooh Silver, how do you manage to be so tight?” He groaned.

She gasped out in pleasure. “Oh. Doxy!” She shuddered as she hit orgasm quickly.

“Mmm yes.” He panted out as he increased his speed. “So tight… Ah…”

She moaned out softly as he pushed himself into her deeply. “Ohh… yes Dox. Yes.”

He bit on her neck as he pulled and pushed in again. “I’m going to fill you.” He moaned out. He pushed deeply into her and released his pent up lust into her.

She shuddered under him as she hit an orgasm as he released into her. “Ah… oh Doxy… you feel so good.”

He kept himself buried in her as he nuzzled her mane. “I told you no pony would walk in.”

The door opened without a knock and Twilight looked in. She saw Paradox and Silver in the compromising position, her eyes widened. “Oh… my! Sorry.” She quickly closed the door.

Silver blinked then started to giggle. “Twilight walked in.”

“So she did.” He replied as he pulled from her. “Good thing we were already done.”

Twilight paced about a hundred feet away from the gate of Tartarus. She kept glancing at it waiting for Discord to emerge. She turned to pace back and ran into him. “Oof!”

“You didn’t have to wait.” He smiled at her, glanced around, picked her up and hugged her. “You’re a good friend. Thank you.”

When he placed her back on the ground she wobbled slightly, fluffed out her wings. “You’re welcome. So what happened? Why are you able to get into Tartarus so easily? Who was talking to you? Did you get whoever to release Celestia? I need to know. Details!”

He sighed. “Twilight you should just ask one question at a time.”

She bit her lower lip and trotted in place. “What happened?”

“I don’t know.” He muttered. “I think there is something else at work here. My children need sleep, we need sleep.” He grinned suddenly at the thought of sleep. “Twilight, did the chaotic buffer work?”

Twilight looked up at him confused. “What is a chaotic buffer?”

He started walking and she walked with him. “It was the box, did it work?”

She blinked. “Luna had brought it to the room when I was asleep. I didn’t dream about you. What is a chaotic buffer?”

He nodded. “Yes. I don’t give that box to just any pony. You wanted me out of your head that was the only solution. Do you feel differently about me now?”

“I don’t think I need to um…” She blushed and looked the other direction.

“Hah. That’s hilarious. You’re thinking about me again.”

“That isn’t fair Discord. How can I not think about you when you’re right in front of me?”

He shook his head. “Sorry Twilight, I guess you aren’t being completely honest with me… Let’s get back to Canterlot. I guess we’ll have to talk more about this later.”

Silver stood watch over Paradox and every time he was about to drift off to sleep she poked him with her armor clad hoof. “Stay awake Doxy.”

“But… I’m tired.” Paradox said and then suddenly grinned. “Why don’t you… take off some of your armor… and we can make some amore…”

“No… That will just cause you to be weary and you’re already tired as it is.” She said as she blushed. “Although you’re as sexy as ever.”

“Even while sleepy, I still got it.” He yawned then flinched when she jabbed him in the side with her hoof again.

“Keep awake my love.”

Aidoneus was grinning at Discord. “So you’ve finally decided to become one of my disciples? My war bringer?”

Discord crossed his arms. “No. I’ve come to see my brother.”speakingofdeath

Aidoneus kept grinning as he stood up. “That is a shame, are you sure?”

“Quite sure.”

“Sorry, Pestilence isn’t available. He’s working.” Aidoneus stated as he slowly started to change shape. “If you want to wait, you have all eternity.”

“I don’t want to wait.” He growled. “You have no power over me here, unlike my brother, I’m not your demon. Call him here or I shall invoke his true name and make him obey me.”

Aidoneus growled. “You wouldn’t dare.”

“Try me.”

Aidoneus stared at Discord at least that is what it looked like since he had no eyelids. “Pestilence is coming to see you. Don’t invoke his true name.” He then burst into flame and melted into the earth disappearing.

“Discord.” Came a deep voice as a green flame grew in size in front of Discord. “What brings you here? Can’t you see I’m a little bit busy?” His brother was wearing a black chef hat and an apron.

Discord blinked in confusion. “You’re a chef?”

Sorrow/Pestilence nodded and gave a slight smile. “Oh yes, it’s very rewarding, the lesser demons love my cooking I’ve never been so welcome as I am here. Thank you brother, death has given me life in a sense. Did you want to talk?”

He looked at his brother for a long moment, his eyes were green flames, his teeth were sharp needles and he had long green nails on his paws. “Are you trying to pass off innocence to me? Do not do my family harm.”

Pestilence grinned. “Is there something happening making your little heaven a hell? You should join me and become who you were meant to be… War. Maybe then your family won’t be in danger. Has your son realized his inner potential? Is he ready to take my place?”

“Paradox is not to be touched by you, he’s not taking your place and my name isn’t War! I don’t know what you are doing, but you are not going to destroy my family!” Discord growled as he leapt forward to grab Pestilence by the neck only to grab at nothing.

“Go home.” Pestilence said as he disappeared, leaving Discord alone.

“If you were a demon, you could defeat him.” Aidoneus suddenly appeared.

“Go suck on an egg.” Discord muttered as he turned and walked away.

Aidoneus chuckled. “You’ll be back. They always come back.”
