To keep it simple, celestia and discord met at a show that he showcased one of his audience to his magic tours and performances.
Before discord became half insane, he was mostly normal but talented with his tricks. He caught a glimpse of celestia in the crowd that adored his work. They caught up with hanging out till after 3 months, they got to go on dates.
He really loved her and played a role of being devoted to be surrounded by her presence. She really loved his humor and his activities he put out to impress her. Even though Luna despised discord, celestia wouldn’t care, she saw discord as her future husband, that they would travel around the world to explore any city at his tours, or maybe have little children. They both would be together for 2-3 years until it all ends with one situation..
At a tour that discord had, he finished his performances, thinking that everyone would leave while he was at the backstage packing. Until he hears footsteps. He thought it was one of the managers. As he turned, he was attacked by a man that was part of the past tours. The man was one of the guests that discord offended on accident, which the man took offense. As discord was trying to get the guy away, the man tried to still end him. Discord with it without hesitation as a defense, had to defend himself by kicking the guy in panic and then ending up 💥 the guy with the guests weapon.
This was the moment discord, begin to have a silent breakdown, immediately in shock. He had to do what he had to do, he was scared for life. But he knows, what he did was either defense or wrong. He dashed away without his things. He ran by foot, without his car, without any vehicle. He ran. One of the managers walked in and saw the body, the manager calls for help, but also the cops aswell.
Celestia had to work that night, she came home and then as she turned on the tv, discord was on the news. She froze in shock.
There was a hard knock on the door, discord ran inside celestias place as she let him in because she was the only one that he looked up to. Celestia began to ask more questions, discord started to become overwhelmed with lots of things in his head. He started to cry in his hands as he trembled, telling her that it was an accident, that he didn’t mean to, celestia didn’t know what to do either. She felt too scared.
Finally, the cops found him. They dragged him out of celestias place. Celestia stood there watching and didn’t try to reach out. She was still pondering.
Discord watched her, he began to start feeling either blank or confused. They took him in and at the jail, celestia got to visit him. He sat there staring at her with no shine in his eyes, but still had emotion. She said that he put her in a unexpected position that she didn’t even want to be involved in. He had no idea what to say, it was like everything was a whiplash to her. He tried to explain more, apologizing to her. But she couldn’t look at him anymore, whether to believe or not believe. It was a slap in the face for him, they trusted eachother. After that visit, they didn’t see eachother for a long time. The relationship became unknown.
So he slowly started to grow insane in the nonchalant way but chaotic in his cool. As long he didn’t lash out. He didnt which was odd to everyone. But behind that, he was heartbroken.
Celestia was the only one that kept him sane. And he ruined that, which he blamed himself till this day.
Until, when chrysalis and tirek came in, discord saw something that was his chance to leave, they both seemed like the duo that could break out. So as tirek and chrysalis escaped, with everything alarmed. discord and his partner in crime, sombra, would have their chance to escape the jail and they finally escaped with a cop car.
With everything out of the way, discords plan, was about celestia. Coming home to her.
