Scene: Everyone is sitting around a campfire at Camp Everfree, listening to a "spooky" story.

Rarity: ....and that's when she looked down... and realized she was wearing purple socks with a burgundy dress! *screams*

*everyone is unphased*

Rarity: ... *clears throat* Purple and burgundy darlings. The same color family! *screams*

Applejack: Uh... That was a terrifying story.

Rainbow: Yeah. I'm terrified she'll try to tell it again!

Luna: *clears throat* Does anyone else have a spooky story?

Timber: I have one! But I'm warning you. You might as well hug a friend now. That's how scary it is.

*Fluttershy hugs Spike*

*Snips hugs Snails*

*Bulk Biceps hugs Snips and Snails*

Timber: It's time I told you about the legend... of Esrever.

*flashback*

???: Isack wasn't my creator's first choice.... I just found that out today... and I'm glad I did... It happened a few hours ago, sometime around four in the afternoon. You know, while I was still... sane... My good friend, Gir, came to my house unexpectedly. He said he wanted to show me something. He said it was important. He was talking so fast and his voice was really high pitched. It was obvious that whatever he wanted to show me was probably the most important thing he's ever wanted to show me. I got this news out of nowhere, and on such short notice, but as always, I had nothing else better to do, so I agreed to go with him. He squealed in delight. He clapped his hooves, and in no time, we were teleported directly in front of his house. I always was amazed at Gir's abilities. He could do anything he wanted just from putting his hooves together. To be honest, however, it was weird being around him. Especially when he mentioned him and his father, Discord the Draconequus. It's hard to explain.  Deja vu? Jamais vu!? I don't know. I was a weird and unexplainable feeling. All I can say about it is that it felt like I was being lied to, in a way. Like someone was made before me and no one said anything. Like a... past life... I usually just shook off the feeling or ignored it, but now I know what that feeling was... While we were walking to Gir's front door, I realized it's been a long time since I complimented him. "It must be cool to be part draconequus, huh?" That's all I remember saying. That's all. The green heart tied around my neck lit up. Brighter than ever. Almost blinding. I was scared. Confused. What was going on? I don't envy Gir. I don't think I ever did. Just as that thought came to my mind, he began to rise uncontrollably.  His hooves flailing in the air, as if he were being picked up by a monster. I began to hit my element, hoping it would drop him or do something right. That only made it worse.  I rose with him. The only thing I could think of doing was apologizing, but he couldn't hear me over the sounds of his screaming. A green aura began to surround him.  I began to freak out with Gir. I was scared about what was going to happen next. I didn't want to know. I knew it was going to be bad... Gir's aura flowed into my element. His aura was starting to shrink. The more Gir's aura shrunk, the quieter he got. It was obvious he was slowly getting weaker and weaker, but I had no physical change. The aura finally stopped flowing. Gir had no more. We were dropped on the hard ground. I got up and ran to Gir. He was knocked out. He had no energy. The feeling came to me again... but a lot worse... I didn't think I was being lied to anymore... I had a feeling that I knew the truth now... Like something was pushed aside and made space for me... I don't know why... but I liked it... I liked this clarity. I liked the feeling of something being pushed aside for me, and only me. That thought was immediately interrupted as I heard the creak of an opening door. Discord, Gir's father, came outside to check on us, only to see his only son on the floor, passed out. He stood there for a moment before teleporting to Gir. He slowly picked him up. He was like a statue again. He didn't really move. He just made slight movements due to the shock of this new found news. A tear began to form in his yellow eye before it was wiped away with anger. He knew I did it. He knew I wiped out his only son. I saw Discord's left hand go up, his index finger and thumb particularly sticking out. He was getting ready to snap his fingers. He was going to do something to me. I had to act fast, but I didn't know what to do. But then... then the energy kicked in. All the clarity that I had earlier kicked in. The feeling was so amazing. I felt like Overcharge... but better in some way... I knew exactly how to stop this. "Any last words?" Discord said angrily, trying to hold back tears. The widest smirk formed on my face. "You know, Discord? It must be cool to be a draconequus, huh?" My element began to glow again. I laughed a laugh that I've never heard from me before, as we were rising into the air. For a brief moment, I saw Discord snapping his fingers, but nothing was happening. My power was beyond the ruler of chaos and disharmony. His aura was presented to me. Discord's aura was even bigger than Gir's. The thought of all that energy being mine filled me with even more glee. I actually felt a change as Discord's energy became mine. I felt the energy surge through me. I had so much energy that I didn't know how to dispose of it. I did feel one other thing though. As I was gaining energy, I felt myself change. I felt like I've been transformed. The aura stopped and Discord fell to the floor, helpless, just like Gir. I couldn't feel any other emotion besides happiness. No sorrow, no regret, just happiness. I began to twitch uncontrollably, as my body tried to get rid of all the energy I had. Small sparks of green lightning occasionally formed around me. I was a new person, I was... Esrever. I wanted to bask in the feeling of clarity and energy, but I couldn't. I was distracted by the sound of someone quietly scream and cry. It was soft like a lullaby but sad like a violin. I looked a Gir. He was still out cold. Discord, the same. Finally, I looked at their front door again. Fluttershy was curled into a ball, shivering from the emotional pain. She looked so shaken. She was tortured by the look. Just then, people started showing up to see why someone was crying. They saw what happened. They looked at me with angry eyes, realizing the damage I had done. I needed to escape, I could be a criminal now for all I knew. But I didn't know what to do, so I just hit my element hoping something would happen. A bright flash of white light shined. It was blinding, just like my element, but it was quick and painless. I only saw it for a split second. I rubbed my eyes and tried to see where I was. I ended up in a...

*end of flashback*

Fluttershy: *shivering* In a what?

Timber: No one knows... The last of the journal entry was torn out of the book. The creepy thing is... some people say he's been here before, but they can't even remember what he looked like. Some say red hair with a brown coat and yellow eyes. Others say a black and gray striped coat with brown hair. The theory that everyone believes, is that Esrever is able to create alternate universes. He can do something horrible in one universe and just jump to another like it's nothing. They say Esrever seeks revenge on the people that were wrong to him by destroying them in a universe he created. For I we know... our world could just be a universe Esrever created. The Isack we know... could be Esrever.

Snips: B-b-but h-how will we know?

Timber: The witnesses in this universe say that Esrever acts tougher than Isack, and has powers far beyond just Electricity. If you see Isack acting a little off, you'll know that's him. If you ever notice him, I suggest you say your prayers, because no one knows what he could be planning to do.

Fluttershy: *begins to cry*

Sunset: Fluttershy, calm down. It's just a story.

Fluttershy: It's not that...

Sunset: What's wrong then?

 Fluttershy: *sniffling* ...I miss Gir and Discord so much...  

The End.
