[Adventure]
Author: TheManWithTwoNames
Description: It is the responsibility of a king to care for his people and maintain order in his kingdom. That shouldn’t be much trouble for a ruler as powerful as Discord, right? With his faithful and insecure advisor at his side, the draconequus sets out to explore his new world and personally see to it that peace reigns in Equestria.All Links After the break!
However, the ponies want nothing to do with their frightening new ruler, and the unamused Spirits of Equestria aim to drag the Spirit of Chaos away before he can cause any more harm. Can the Spirit of Chaos be the ruler Equestria needs? Or is he truly doomed to become the monster he is seen to be?

I know I've seen that picture used for a fic before...
VastaKustutaThird...
VastaKustutaDiscord? King? This had better not come to pass...just in case I'm going to surround the statue with...oh that's perfect!
VastaKustutaApplebloomismywaifu, Travis, I'm so glad you took the time to read before making your insightful posts. I'm sure your input will be helpful for everyone, and something you can pride yourselves on for all your lives.
VastaKustutaCome on, people, don't "first" fics. That's just tacky.
This concept is wonderful. I'll definitely be reading and commenting with my thoughts when I've got the time to. Probably later today.
VastaKustuta@TheManWithTwoNames "Applebloomismywaifu, Travis, I'm so glad you took the time to read before making your insightful posts."
VastaKustutaI lol'd. This story sounds pretty good though, I'll read it in a bit.
The concept has piqued my interest, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to invest my time yet.
VastaKustutaIs this the Heavenly Turmoil side story you were thinking about doing?
VastaKustuta....Huh.
VastaKustutaThis seems interesting! *reads*
Another fic to read. Now I'll get no work done. Fine. Have it your way.
VastaKustuta@TheWithTwoNames
VastaKustutaOh don't worry I did read it
But since don't seem to like my comments I'll just wait until later. Good day to sir
It was good
It is werid though to first on a story
VastaKustuta@TenchiFreak5
VastaKustutaIt started as it, but it went through a few changes.
Where's the comedy tag? I think it should have one.
VastaKustutaBecause Discord brings comedy to anything. If Cupcakes had Discord's jokes it would be a funny fic too.
VastaKustutaWhen Reading this fanfiction I noticed some nods to the whole youth of celestia bit in Heavenly turmoil. Is this intentional?
VastaKustutaAlso, Savvy is totally gonna end up as screwball. I just know it
Oh..Wait Just noticed your the same writer.
VastaKustutaPretty good fic trough. I really like how Discord is a somewhat clueless being.
@Ze Pony She has the same color coat and everything. I'm curious as to how she's going to live another 1500 years but I'm sure he's so going to do her.
VastaKustutaI like this concept. I shall watch this story closely.
VastaKustutaorganized chaos? :D
VastaKustutaThis is great fun. I'll be watching for more!

VastaKustutaOh hi, this is Block Eraser (on deviantart), the dude who drew the pic at the top.
Sooo.... you wouldn't happen to know why someone shopped my signature and DA link out of my own picture would you?
Ooh, this is gonna end badly for Savior, me thinks.
VastaKustuta@Gigatoast
VastaKustutaGiga, look in the fic and you will see your name mentioned.
This is a pretty good story. I really like the relationship between Savvy and Discord; for such different personalities, they have some great chemistry, and it's really fun to see her constantly having to keep him in line. I really enjoyed Heavenly Turmoil, and seeing as how you're the same author I'll have to keep an eye on this fic.
VastaKustuta@Gigatoast
VastaKustutaWell, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't the reason. I had been talking with one of my prereaders about how I needed a picture of Screwball and Discord, and he immediately sent me the doctored version that's up there.
I asked him where he got the original, and he linked me to your page, and I gave full credit to you at the top of the Prologue. (Though, in retrospect, I should definitely have included a link to your profile, which I'll put in right now.)
I hope that this hasn't caused any problem for you, and I'd be fine to change it if you would ask.
Do I need to read Heavenly Turmoil to read this? I'm not really much of a reader, but this looks interesting.
VastaKustuta@JordanRynes
VastaKustutaI'm hoping that it won't be necessary. Everything even remotely related to HT is out of the way, so there shouldn't be any need.
Ignoring the fact that please oh please oh please read my things please
Told you I'd be back
VastaKustutaWell, interesting read. Of course, we MAY know how it ends already. I really do hope we get more insight on just what happened at the birthday party though...
VastaKustutaMost excellent indeed. I really like Discord so it's nice to see him as something other than pure evil.
VastaKustutaIn regards to the rad t shirt, though, how does a bridge in Brooklyn sound?
I will definitely read this as the updates come
VastaKustutaIf I hadn't already read it before it was posted, I would say I just read it and that it was pretty great, so I'll just say it was pretty great. And, if you don't like it, I WILL PUT A THOUSAND CURSES UPON YOU AND MAKE YOU EAT YOUR OWN PANCREAS... Or, I could just respect your opinion and move on with life. Either works.
VastaKustutaDouglas Adams would be proud.
VastaKustutaI enjoy most anything with Discord in it, and you not only have him, but also a rather good talent for writing, win-win for you, and a win for me (I get to read it and what-not).
VastaKustutaOoh, I loved it! Well written and I find it to be thoroughly interesting. Especially introducing the other spirits, as well as Discord's mindset.
VastaKustutaI hope it updates soon.
Oh dear, I think my brain exploded from the sheer awesomeness. That's inconvenient.
VastaKustutaLoving this so much! Savoir and Discord are so cute together!
Oh god, they're adorable AND their characters well developed, I can't handle it! Keep updating, I'm dying without Discord and Savoir!
VastaKustuta>Most favorite story ever status achieved
This needs more readers. I'll admit that when I first read the description, I was skeptical and put it off, but after reading it...
VastaKustutaOh yes, this is legitimately a good story and an interesting take on Discord. Seeing a Discord before he realizes his true nature as the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony is a very interesting concept.
Just read the second chapter, I find it a bit odd that this is supposed to be set over a thousand years ago, yet Manehatten doesn't seem to be any different from the present, but it doesn't really matter, I'm still enjoying this fic. I loved the development of the warm and cold feelings Discord's getting, and the reveal of Savoir's cutie mark.
VastaKustutaLooking forward to finding out how someone named Knowledge in French is still a screwball. Great story overall, I am loving this version of Discord.
VastaKustutaThis fic is awesome..Still, Heavenly turmoil was gut wrenching, I do not delude myself that this won't be Soul jerkingly sad either.
VastaKustutaYou are a great writer TheManWithTwoNames. I really like your stories even if they stab my emotions in the throat
I eagerly await the next part.
I came here to piece unravel a conspiracy.
VastaKustutaI stayed because of such an amazing story.
Discord = Jabberwocky
VastaKustuta@Fleetwood_Brougham Interesting little microcosmos. So many splintered spirits, no one containing an amalgum of traits and powers.
VastaKustuta*chuckles* More than simple enough for my will to conquer. The spirits are the very essence of one-dimensional beings! Throw them off balance at all and their minds can't adapt! Even Discord has a weakness, a great one I can exploit. It was easy to spot in his encounter with Fluttershy.
Discord may seem like one of us to the untrained eye, but really, he's an infantile buffoon and his powers really aren't anything to speak of.
Yes, I'll be ruling that universe soon enough. It'll amuse me for a few millenia, I suppose. If you'll excuse me... *disappears with a flash, one of the Q*
Discord is Tigger with Q's powers.
VastaKustutaJust saying.
@Party Favors
VastaKustutaYou bastard, you made me laugh.
@Party Favors Before I start, I just wanna go on record saying that this comment is what convinced me to read.
VastaKustutaHa! Ahaha! Nedroid reference; how lovely!
VastaKustutaAnd so we get some nice backstory (I was wondering how the heck Screwball was an "advisor") and behold the soon to be unmaking of Equestria.
VastaKustutaFun times.
I am starting to like this "pantheon", after all.
VastaKustutaAh, so THIS is how he goes psycho. Nice job, that. Now I'm just wondering what sort of caveats there are with Screwball, as it's fairly obvious death isn't going to take her out of the picture completely. There's too much left in the story.
VastaKustutaJust read through your story in one go. AAAGGHHH!!!!!!!!
VastaKustutaYou NEED to update!
I love the character interactions, the story, the realistic thoughts, EVERYTHING!
You write Discord so well!
*ahem*
Good story, chap. I'll be eagerly waiting for more of your smashing work.
*tea sip
I have to say, this was likely the most entertaining update yet. And we finally saw some cotton candy.
VastaKustutaBlech, a misstep in my opinion.
VastaKustutaDon't get me wrong, Discord being Discord is entertaining, but...nothing really HAPPENS in chapter 10. It can be summed up as "For twenty years, Discord screwed around with the world", and though it's not easy to imagine, it doesn't push the story anywhere. There's not even a hint of the impeding resolution that would have made slogging through all the other foiled attempts worth slogging through, nor do we see what happened to any of the other characters that have been here so far. Most of us knows what Discord does; why does this chapter exist, then?
@Sinigangus
VastaKustutaThat's a very fair question. There's two reasons, really.
The first reason is that the story was originally tagged with Comedy, but the prereader insisted I remove it. I still treat it to have some comedic elements to it, but these last chapters have been just a double helping of dark and upsetting. So, like I did with the circus chapter, this was meant to be a sort of happy break from the gloom that's been chasing the story for the last few chapters. Plus I'd been dying to write an in-character Discord again ever since "Heavenly Turmoil," so I wanted to give myself this chance.
The second reason is, just like with the circus, there are details from this chapter that are going to come back into play in the next two chapters. Specifically, how Discord acts in his world (as more of an oppressive prankster than actually a tyrannical bastard), how he treats his subjects (the last bit is especially significant for multiple reasons), and the absolute absence and forgetting of the other characters, which was Screwball's fear come to life.
There's nothing in this chapter yet that would imply any sort of foreshadowing or building to anything on its own, I completely agree with you on that, I even had a feeling that this was going to be interpreted as filler when I was planning it way back during the Prologue.
But I have the unfair advantage of knowing what's going to happen in the story, so I'll just say that while this chapter was mostly fun and games with dopey Discord, the chapter is also planting the seeds for future problems that carry us closer to the resolution. You have my word that the rest of the chapters are going to carry the story to its conclusion in a much more overt manner.
@Sinigangus
VastaKustutaOn an unrelated note, thank goodness someone finally posted on here again. I was starting to worry if people were even reading the story at all or if I was leaving absolutely no impact on them when I posted chapters!
You go two chapters with no comments after only getting a few notes every couple of weeks, I started getting nervous.
My hero~
@TheManWithTwoNames Uh, sorry about that. I've been keeping up with this the whole time, I just haven't been able to come up with any witty or insightful remarks. I really do love this story and think it deserves more attention.
VastaKustutaHave you considered setting up shop on FiMFiction? Stories from there seem to garner more attention.
@Party Favors
VastaKustutaOh yeah, I've been there for a while now. I have no idea why people here are so much more reluctant to post. Seems silly.

VastaKustuta*Whistles*
VastaKustutaYou guys really aren't very talkative here, are you? Feel free to comment. It's been a few months, you know.
I think people comment more on FiMfiction.
VastaKustutaMeanwhile, that has to be one of the strangest yet coolest ways of killing someone ever.
This fic. It is FANTASTIC.
VastaKustutaI wish I could give some constructive criticisms or something, but I can't. The most I can do is tell you that I really enjoy everything about this story and that I eagerly await the remaining chapters.
@Party Favors
VastaKustutaAin't that the truth, huh?
But thanks! I seriously think more stories should end with potato heart attacks. It makes any situation that much more poetic.
@MonochromaticJelly
I'm so glad you like it! It really means a lot to hear that people enjoy the story. I'll do my best to make the last two chapters as good as the rest.
No one knew what the sculpture was...except for the local elementary teachers.
VastaKustutaStill, loving this ending. Hope the epilogue can wrap everything up.
@CircuitScratch Thats because it has been used on the original daddy discord video, Also my cousin made it :P
VastaKustutaThe sequel link is just linking back to this page.
VastaKustuta@Rita Lot
VastaKustutaAh, darn it. I'll email them and get it fixed. In the meantime, here's the link.
