                                            >just like that one elevator from earthen peak to iron keep, it's like you forgot something important.. and can only seem to recall something like an elevator in it's place

                                            (In short, its been months since I wrote the previous sections and I do not recall all my plots and storylines. sorry for the mistakes in the conclusion here)


                                            "Hello Mrs Warden Mare"

                                            "You're not the warden.."

                                            >she chuckles a bit

                                            >"Well you're right, I have a task for you.. You will be set free if you complete it"

                                            "Oh?.."

                                            >"A-are you Ill?.." she asks very carefully

                                            >You hesitate to tell the truth and wonder if you should. the last ponies you tried to tell were not well or capable of even fully understanding

                                            "Well.. yes, but I don't think you ponies can get what I have"

                                            >She raises an eyebrow and tilts her head

                                            >"Have you not asked for medical assistance? you may be in prison but you're not being tortured, we're civilized creatures here"

                                            >You sit down and take in a deep breath

                                            "I'm certain you cannot fix it, I don't think you can comprehend the details of it.. In simple terms I'm.. undying.. but my mind isn't"

                                            >She has a curious look on her face

                                            >"You're.. immortal? I myself am as-well actually. same with my sister, I've lived well over a thousand years.. things from way back start to fade, trust me I do understand"

                                            "I'm not that old.."

                                            >The Emerald Herald awaits your return, the great souls in your possession.. Nashandra herself said you should take the throne

                                            >Do you trust her?.. the castle shrouded in a dark calm.. that painting of her causing a deep sense of pain in your very soul when you view it. her form too perfect and human

                                            >What is the right choice? Light? Dark? Or something else entirely.. something like staying here forever.. you have friends, a beautiful world incapable of pain

                                            >"A-anonymous? are you alright?"

                                            "Huh? I-I'm sorry I was lost in thought about my home.. What do you need from me?"

                                            >She lowered her tone and whispered

                                            >"You are capable of actions that we simply aren't.. that creature you.. k-ki-.. *ahem* what you did is not something ponies could ever do, but we have someone who needs to be removed.. he is a creature of disharmony and evil"

                                            "And you need me to Kill him?"

                                            >She winced and shuttered at your direct words

                                            >"Not even me in my old age can truly understand being able to do that. it's just not in our nature.. but he is a threat, and one our magic cannot seem to contain properly. he's escaped before and I believe his influence is corrupting young ponies, the very special young ponies who are destined to save our world"

                                            "And they can't stop him with.. "friendship"? you gesture with your hand in the air

                                            >She closed her eyes and smiled

                                            >"It seems you cannot change someones nature, what they are born as.. they can shift away from it but at their core they still are that thing. and this creature is chaos. you will know him when you see him"

                                            >She trotted over to the window and looked out it

                                            >"I brought you your weapon, and a family heirloom of mine.. It resembles yours and may share some sort of cosmic ancestry"

                                            >With her magic she lifts you your sword, grasping the grip in your hands memories flood back. a feeling of insecurity and danger you felt before fades

                                            >Without a weapon in Drangleic death is immediate and inescapable. here things are different..

                                            >But that pain lingers terribly in the mind

                                            >She levitates a box over to you and opens it. inside is.. The Moonlight Greatsword

                                            >It's not yours.. but it's unquestionably a sword of moonlight, and not a fake or replica like that 'bluemoon' thing

                                            >looking at it.. you can see it's as real as yours. but it's not the same

                                            "You're.. giving this to me?"

                                            >"For now, I believe it may aid you in your task here.. yours or that one, I'm not sure what you think will be best. he's a creature of this realm and perhaps a sword of this realm is what's best"

                                            >"but also he's a being of chaos.. a sword from beyond this realm may be even better, Fighting.. fire with fire might be the term, Chaos doesn't work logically after-all"

                                            >you pick up the other in your free hand

                                            "Nothing is stopping me from trying both"

                                            >Celestia seems quite surprised

                                            >"I.. why yes you do have two.. claws?. to hold them in,we ponies use our mouths or magic in rare cases for such things and even with magic carrying two weapons isn't easy, the focus required is quite overwhelming"

                                            >"are you sure you can do that?"

                                            "I've done it before.. oh and I'm going to need my armor and rings back"


                                            >Hours later after a length ride on a flying chariot that really did give you flashbacks to the two headed horse..

                                            >"This is the cottage of a dear pony named Fluttershy, she has attempted to befriend this dark creature but he corrupts her mind, and he still in acts his chaotic will"

                                            >the chariot lands and flys away leaving you, Celestia and a small cottage on the edge of a thick forest

                                            >This discord was a horrific abomination rivaling even the Rotten deep in the Black Gultch, a horrific meshwork of creatures limbs, somehow fused together as if they were always supposed to be that way

                                            >the ponies shown no fear towards his appearance, perhaps they're so innocent they simply cannot grasp the sheer uncanny and disturbing visage of this "discord"

                                            >"Discord, No more games"

                                            >>>"Games? what games.. I'm not doing anything what-so-ever" He gave a devious grin

                                            >>"Celestia please he's tring his bes-" At this moment the yellow pony seems to have noticed you

                                            "Yet I fight against fate, Cursed? Hopeless? You're probably right. but what makes a Man isn't his Victories or his Failures but the choice. choosing at all? That's something you can never do"
