Lady of the Forest

"Gather around my children." An old woman said to the village's young ones.

Being taught with respect, they all sat down in front of her... All but one.

"Discord." The woman called.

The black haired boy looked at the old woman with boredom.

"Yeah?" He asked.

Sighing a small bit, the woman gave the troublesome boy a small weary smile. Slowly his hard eyes softened and he slowly walked over and sat with the rest.

"Now that we are all here. I must tell you all of the Lady in the Forest." She began. "Long ago, there was a beautiful woman with hair of light snapdragon pink. Her skin was an odd color of yellow, almost like the setting sun. Or the color of a sunflower.

"This woman was gorgeous, but had two flaws. She was shy beyound anything! And she was gifted with wings of an angel!" Exclaimed the old woman.

Every child started to mutter a pray, while Discords was in enthralled. A human with wings! Another human with wings! He of course kept that little factor to himself.

"Everyone, even her own parents, hated the child. It wasn't because of her wings, but it was because of her ability."

Discord leaned in a small bit, but that was when the woman laughed slightly. And it was directed at him.

All the other people looked at him as well. Their stares were judging him. Trying to see of he was worthy of anything.

"I see that the little being of chaos is intrigued by the little angel. Well, let's continue then," She chuckled a small bit. "The woman was able to understand and even communicate to the animals! The town's people thought of her as a devil's spawn. Yet, before she was set a blaze on her-"

"Who saved that demon?" Yelled one of the kids as they all nodded in agreement.

But, discord felt angered. The woman had done nothing wrong! The people of the town were just going to kill an innocent woman for no reason! Just because she had wings and could talk to the animals!

"Shut it! Haven't you all thought that maybe she was an angel sent by God to protect us from the evil!" He called out, anger sheathing in his voice. His seven year old hands were formed into tight fits as he tried to control his anger. "She could've been trying to save us!"

This had silenced the other children as they had thought of what he said. He was right... Discord, the child of chaos and all evil, was not only defending someone, but had been right to defend them!

"Thank you discord. But now, time to go back to the story," Granny Smith said to the young ones. "The woman was saved by the few friends she was able to make. One of them was an ancestor of mine. Apple Jack. Another was an ancestor of the Dash family, Rainbow Dash. The others were named after what they did. Pinkie Pie, Twilight, and Rarity." She listed.

"Why are their names like that, Granny Smith?" Asked Photo Finish.

"Because of their abilities. Rainbow was able to fly without wings and was fast with it. Her hair was also the color of a rainbow. Apple Jack once was a common name in my family, an honor really. Pinkie was a pink skinned and haired girl that was wild. She could be in front of you one second and then be at the bakery to do an order in zero seconds!" She exclaimed as much as she could in her soft voice.

"Whoa!" Everyone said with a shocked look.

"Yes in deed. Twilight and Rarity both were mages. Twilight studied the elements of harmony, meaning the entire book of magic! Rarity had the magic of finding, even making gems and jewels appear.
