fan fiction Death to Harmony

[BizzarePony 199]

I finally decided to seriously start writing some fanfiction. So, here it is. This is a sort of origin story about discord, told from his perspective. Original? Probably not. However, quality trumps originality, but sadly, this lacks in both. Please leave some constructive criticism. I need to know how to improve overall. Thanks! I will upload more chapters as I go, but for now, here's the prologue.

 

 

Death to Harmony

Prologue:

 

Sometimes, I wonder what life is like beyond the room.

 

I dream of someday discovering with my own eyes the wonders and mysteries that lie in wait beyond the whitewashed walls of my immortal prison. I know not who I am, or in what manner or for what purpose I was conceived. I was only given tantalizingly scant knowledge of the world in which I inhabit, my room. Infuriatingly, I seem to understand nearly all things under heaven, but the knowledge always slinks back beyond my grasp whenever I try to think upon it.

 

My entire life has been lived within these confines, a length that might have been days, that might have been seconds, that might have been millennia. If one so chooses to call it a life, that is. I merely observe it as mere existence, as life would imply that I had something worth living for. I cannot live, and yet I cannot die. I merely am.

 

My mind feels foreign to my own self, as though someone has built it for me, filling it with the wishes and desires of his own twisted mind, telling me what I must feel but not why I do so.

 

Why.

 

That is the ever elusive quandary that has escaped my feeble grasp. I know not why I live. I know not why I feel. I know not why I was imprisoned like some sort of animal, not as one capable of rational thought. I know not why my body and soul are so mutilated, why I am not one, why I am not whole.

 

I know that I cannot be a natural being. In fact, nature itself seems to conspire against me for my great sin of existing. No, this world must be the work of another, yet how can it? There is nothing but what is in these walls, yet there must be something beyond. My existence is both black and white, but it is not grey.

 

I am a curious creation. If one were to look upon me, he would be shocked at the utter bizarrity of my body. I am many creatures or one creature. I know nothing of my own face, as this room never included such a device to allow me the answer to that mystery. In truth, it matters not. I am a monster, a rejected creature, one made without purpose or intent. I know not of whether my pitiful existence is the only one left in this reality, nor do I know if any reality exists beyond the scope of the Room. The only reality I know is the reality of which I can know nothing. The cruel irony is nearly blinding.

 

Am I such an abominable creature that some unseen arbiters thought it fit to cage me in eternal silence? Do I not reason? Do I not cry out in pain? Is that marked as a sign of weakness or strength? Who are these unknown beings who think themselves gods to determine the fate of the innocent?

 

I can do nothing but cry out in agony to quell the horrible abyss in my soul. I try to numb the pain in any way possible, yet it remains. Oh! How I hate the utter stillness of this place! How I dread the horrible uniformity and lifelessness in these deceitful walls! Walls that seem to speak of peace and rest only bring madness and turmoil to the one within. They stand against me in perfect harmony, never moving, never speaking, never giving. The epitome of peace and the highest point of madness.

 

And yet, through all of these pains, all of these horrendous truths, one word continues to whisper in the back of my head. It is a word that speaks naught of the world around me, but only of the state of my soul. It is a word I can never cease to wonder about, one word that describes my mind and my heart with such perfect accuracy that I have taken to calling myself by it. One little word.

 

Discord.

I love the creative language you used and it seems to suite Discord perfectly.

 

I already believe this is great, but I still can't wait for you to post the chapters, you've got me going now
