Inside the topsy-turvy of his chaos dimension Discord broods in his own home, his facial expression tinged with regret and guilt.

Despite having helped Twilight with giving her the final piece to the chest at the Tree of Harmony that allowed her and her friends to defeat Tirek (and earn a sweet castle in the process) he couldn’t get rid of the image of the disappointed faces of the Mane Six looking at him, especially Fluttershy. And Celestia’s glare of disgust? He shudders at the memory. He would rather be trapped in stone again than receive that stare from the Sun Princess’s violet eyes.

The draqonequus covers his face with his paws. “I was such a fool for trusting that monster offering me freedom wrapped in chains. I should’ve just followed orders instead of disobeying like the coward I was.”

Discord looks up at a picture frame of the Mane Six smiling for a group photo and feels a pang of remorse. “I have to make things right.”
