He just wanted someone to listen to him...

Emerald sighed as he trotted his way through canterlot garden, tears slowly trickling down his face as he sniffed. He just wanted his friends to listen to his thoughts, he was a troubled pony, as he was born with a birth defect that made him unable to ever get his cutie mark.

Nobody ever sat to listen to him, to his issues, his thoughts, he never got the treatment he yearned for. It wasn't his friends fault though, they had lives to live and ever since that creature was returned to stone, everything was just now going back to normal. It had been only a little over two years since the incident but everypony was still on edge.

EmeraldTrail personally never did understand why everypony was so afraid if it was all fixed in about two days, even so he hadn't lived there when it happened as he was living with his parents in Canterlot, as they needed his help around the house. Though he was curious, what could have scared everypony that bad.

That wasn't what he needed to focus on, right now all he wanted was a nice place to cry, and to perhaps not be bothered by anypony, not even a stray guard.

He trotted along, listening to the sounds of the birds whistle and the soft hum in the air as a few stray leaves blew along his path. It was such a cloudy but nice day out, which was probably his reasoning for coming here to hide instead of his ponyville home.

He turned every which way before pausing infront of a statue, a creature so bizarre, he found it almost fascinating, so he fell to the ground after making up his mind that here was an alright spot for a good cry. He felt nearly pathetic being at this statues feet, face running with wet tears as he nearly screamed into every sob he choked out. He felt just so useless, why wouldn't anypony listen to him? Why was he so fucking pathetic??

He cried out into the nothingness in the screaming complexion on the statues features, he looked up to the statue as he weeped . Soon his unbridled anguish became mixed with rage that he forgot that he even had. He began to scream out more in rage as tears fell down even quicker "WHY! CELESTIA WHY ME..WHAT DID I DO?" He screamed as he stood up and slammed his hoof into the dirt before immediately toppling back down, as his sobbing continued.

....At some point he finally stood up, he wiped the rest of the tears from his eyes, he looked up to the statue with a shakey smile "Thank you...even if you can't understand how much I appreciate it." He turned and simply trotted off, not noticing the cracks and glowing from the statue.

He huffed a bit while turning around the never ending curves and sharp turns of the garden, that's when he heard it, a laugh, a laugh so sinister it sent chills to very fiber of being. The wind picked up as he began to panic, flight or fight kicked in and he picked freeze, like a deer in headlights.

He looked around before yelping at the sudden figure near him "My, my, you aren't the princesses..and here I thought they freed me for my redemption arc" the creature checked himself in a mirror before it dissipated into smoke. Emerald was shaking, he didn't even know why, he was just so afraid.

The creature blinked before he shot up in apparent shock "oh my! How devastatingly rude of me! I should introduce myself to the poor sad soul who freed me." His voice was so rich and just dripped with venom. Emerald backed up a bit with a small gulp, trying to find some words to say.

However his new sudden guest paid no mind to this as he gave a small bow "I am Discord, spirit of chaos and disharmony, and what may your name be?" Emerald opened his mouth before he was quickly shushed, a clawed hand suddenly pushed up to his muzzle. "Nononono! Wait! Let me guess!" He then began to over dramatically think, even proofing up a chalk bored in the middle of the path, way just to write random math equations and a small poorly done drawing of EmeraldTrail himself.

"I've got it!" He grinned as everything yet again went to nothing but smoke "Crystal Eyes?" He got very close, as Emerald backed up slightly more, he shook his head "no..m-my name is" he was once again shushed "Oh you very much seem like a Crystal eyes! Those glassy tear filled eyes I could see said everything. Oh how pathetic you were~" he gave Emerald this look of just pure spite.

Emerald shivered "my name...is EmeraldTrail" he gave a small puff out of breath as Discord leaned back putting his paw up to his chin, he studied the pony infront of him before shrugging "that was my second guess." He then turned his back to the pony "well tata Crystal eyes! I have much work to get too"

He then dissipated into smoke himself only leaving a singular gem in its place, a tear drop shaped sapphire, oh sweet Celestia, what has Emerald just done..
