• Story: Of Harmony & Chaos (Update Part 14!)


    [Sad]

    Author: Brightwel
    Description: Celestia, Nightmare Moon, Discord, the Elements of Harmony. All things that once clashed 1000 years ago. What happened in that ancient time, whose echoes can still be felt millennia later? Was it truly just jealousy that changed Luna into the cruel Nightmare Moon? How did a mad being like Discord become the ruler Equestria? Just what exactly are alicorns, and how did Celestia and Luna come to be? There are many answers the history books and the princesses have not mentioned, or have choose to keep secret...

    5. just read it and it was a nice read, though I do feel relieved a bit, for a second I thought someone had the same Idea as I did for the Origins of Discord (my working title is "From Harmony to Discord") I will be awaiting the updates :) also, I D'aaaawed when luna tried to eat the cake on her own :P

    6. Damn ittttttt

      I was writing something with the same exact subject!

      Oh well, I abandoned it anyway. ON TO READING!

    7. Ah.

      I had a very similar idea, however, we'll have to see how this story continues. I might still go on with my own.

      The beginning is certainly different to mine.

    8. Dammit, and I had just started writing a collection of Equestrian mythologies.

      Haven't read this yet, I hope our visions are different enough.

      aaaand I just read the other comments saying pretty much exactly what I said.

      I guess it's a pretty obvious idea to begin with.

      I think we are safe, on my side I plan to have Discord being created as the physical form of the elements of harmony, (hence the title From Harmony to Discord) and I plan to try and make the story tell the readers how he ended up discarding every aspects of harmony and favor chaos instead.

      The reason I haven't started it yet, is because I am still working on an other fic, and Id like to have my Discord fic being written with the first person, through his eyes, I'm just not sure if I can pull it off. *might end up doing it with the third person, but I would really like it to be able to have his thoughts and stuff as the story goes)

    11. The part where there's little Discord and his mother dies made me sad. D:

      I really like how this is going so far. What little has happened, anyway. I hope to read more! :3

    12. I think I just dies from a cuteness overload on filly Luna!

    13. Darn it! It needs more!

    14. I really like the personalities of the OCs and the way Celestia, Luna, and Discord are presented so naturally and realistically.

      I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of this! Especially Celestia's reaction to the new little brother straight from her nightmare.

    15. I really like this fanfic, it is currently the only one i'm following.

      And for those who didn't know, the OC Aumen (I hope that is how it is written), is actually Lauren Faust's pony version off herself ;3

    16. "Ariscolte" was very clever. I don't know why, but the name just makes me laugh.

      This story is always a great read. I really like the way you presented the origin of Equestria and expanded on the Elements. The entire social life you set up with the family and the town really is as adorable as all the characters in the show, and it makes me genuinely upset to know that Sad tag up there is eventually going to play out.

      Keep up the great work!

    17. I totally commented on the other thread, but I loved this part 3. It makes sense that Celestia would want to hold him at a distance, but that Discord would love little Luna's welcome. I adore their mother's characterization.

      I'm very curious about that laughter-chaos deal. I will definitely keep reading!

    18. Victory Dawn reminds me of something... I can't put my finger on what, but it disturbs me somewhat.

      Otherwise, great work on this. Looking forward to more.

    20. There is filly luna and the story image made me "daaaaawwwww" for a full 60 seconds. Going to read now.

    21. It's a bit surprising this story isn't more popular. I'm sure it'll catch on in time though. Hopefully we don't have to wait very long for updates, though.

    24. anybody else dying from cuteness overload due to luna in the pic, and is anybody else feel bad for discord knowing what will happen?

      ReplyDelete
    25. I am seriously loving this. The characters are well done and Luna is beyond adorable.
      Also the appple seeds outside of Ponyville. Didn't even think of that till someones comment above. Applejack would thank them if time travel were possible.

      This may be my headcannon. This one not only is amazing but also fits with several other fanfictions I love.

    26. AUTHOR WHERE ART THOU!?!? ;_;
      You can't just make this awesome story and leave us hanging at the very meeting of that poor performer-pony and our group for this long. That last sentence in Ch.6 was epic and fueled my curiosity... Please don't let us all starve D:

    31. I like your story. There's some point I don't really agree with, like the scale of powers, the inherent nature of alicorns, Discord being a bit too much of a nice guy etc. But most of it is part of your own mythology, that's why there's the tag "fandom", of course.
      I'm also quite sad about Discord being way smarter and stronger (maybe not) than the two Alicorns; it'd be okay for Luna since she's younger. Maybe you put draconnequus above Alicorns and I know in mythology it's always the best that turned up bad but still...

      However, I appreciate the presence of the ponyfication of her Awesomeness Faust as the mother of the Two Alicorns. The fact that she's really benevolent makes the upcoming events even more sadder.. Because I fear of what will happen to her.
      For that matter, I fear of what will happen to all of your original characters, mostly the one on the quest. I appreciate all of them, even Craggy. The duo you made of him and Bright eyes works particularly well. I tend to love silent people/character, this also goes with Bright Eyes !
      Kromi's story is really touching. I really sympathized with her about her tribe unwilling to let her go. But, goodness, the poor girl, that was kind of a harsh departure. (I think you have come close to the grimdark tag :p)

      Speaking of Aumean, I think she was talking with a brother of her when she talked to herself. Was he Starswill or someone else ? I hope you will give a little information about her, just a little.

      I'm really curious how you will sort all this out, even though it doesn't match with the show any more. Especially what will make Discord to crack up, because Harmony is kind of different from strict order.
      Well, it goes in the other way around, natural wildness is not total chaos, but he is the spirit of chaos and disharmony where she, Celestia, really isn't the spirit of order and steadiness. Unless you'll make him BECOME the embodiment of chaos ? That's a bit weird, but okay..

      Sorry, I let myself wander in my own mind. Nice story though ! :D
