Just thought i'd toss this out here before bed...

In the newest video of John De Lancie he was bombarded with pony questions again and was straight out asked if he was returning as Discord. To which he replied

"I am."

Apparently it's a "major story line" which means Discord is not going to be just a minor character this time and is gonna have some big significance. Which is just....friggin epic.

So that brony was right when he said Discord was returning as a recurring character because John De Lancie confirmed that himself, saying he did a recording two months ago for the crew and said it was "very interesting" or something like that.

Hell. Yes.

With that in mind I'll also leave this plot synopsis for the next chapter here.

It's chaos in the kingdom as Luna goes missing. In the midst of trying to find her, Celestia is finally told of Twilight and Fluttershy's crime with "Alicorn's Power". When Twilight goes missing next, Celestia is determined to find her student. Meanwhile, Discord is on the hunt to find and finally reconcile with his baby sister.
