The White Changeling

Dusk wasn't the ordinary pegasus. His life has revolved around one main thing, revenge. Revenge on the Chrysalis for killing his father. He remembers the day as if it were yesterday.

Canterlot was under attack, Dusk's father tried to stop chrysalis... and she... ripped off his head. Blood flowed like a river as the headless corpse fell to the ground. She was about to kill Dusk too, but then a white changeling came out of nowhere. Chrysalis was screaming as she fought with him. "Traitor!"

Leading Dusk to a safe spot in the forest, the changeling introduced himself as Spectre. Ever since they have been friends. Until he suddenly disappeared.

He has became a changeling hunter, one of the best to be exact. Any rouge changeling causing trouble would have no chance of escape. He never forgot Spectre, and was wondering if he was still alive, but as time passed that seemed impossible.

The same day Luna woke in the camp is when Dusk left to find his old friend, and what better place to look than where they first met. He began to pack supplies for the trip. As he walked into the forest path he could tell something was wrong.

At the castle, Celestia and the guards were frantically searching for Luna. Fearing that she has ran away, or worse, she put a bounty up. One-thousand bits for her safe return. The guards were sent to search every town and city, but none went to the Everfree.

Luna woke up to find Ghost was not in the tent with her. Most of the pain has left her, so she could stand without any trouble. Stepping outside she could tell it was early morning, because nopony was outside. Nopony except for Ghost.

"What are you doing up so early?"

"That is none of your concern."

"I guess it isn't." Ghost chuckled. "And what I need to do is also none of your concern." His mocking tone angered her. She was trying to keep under control, but she lost it when he morphed into her. "I'm Luna, and I am to busy to share my thoughts."

"YOU FILTHY INSECT! YOU DARE TO MOCK ME?"

"You dare to mock me?"

"ENOUGH!" Luna hit Ghost with so much force, he was sent flying into a tree. He morphed back to his normal self, but strangely he was laughing.

"You amuse me. You are unaware that you are feeding me."

Her anger became confusion. "But don't changelings feed off of.... love?"

"Not me, or any other white changeling."

"Then how....?"

"Pain."

"Sorry if I am interrupting, but where is your father?" Dusk steped closer to Ghost as Luna went back to the tent she was in.

"Dusk, when did you get here?"

"Just now..."

"I'm sorry to say, but the old king was murdered."

"W...what! How?"

"Chrysalis sent an assassin."

Dusk remained silent for several moments. "You know Celestia has put up a bounty for Luna's return. One-thousand bits."

"Thats a heavy offer... Maybe if I take the offer I will gain an ally in the upcoming battle."

"Exactly. You also have me to aide you." Dusk began to walk away.

That night Luna decided to find Ghost and enter his dream. She thought she would be able to learn more about him through dreams, because dreams are the product of the subconscious. It took her awhile to find his tent. Luna smiled at Ghost sleeping face and went to make her usual dream journey, after a while she became bored and stopped when she heard that Ghost was muttering some words in his sleep, she always saw everyponies dreams, it was a form to know them better since they were a call from their subconscious, so if she wanted to know more about Ghost then what’d be better than see his dreams? With this in mind Luna’s horn glowed as she entered Ghost dream.

What started as a dream, slowly turned into a nightmare. It started in a peaceful clearing in the Everfree forest. The sun was bright. Young versions of Ghost and Snow were running around playing games. An old white changeling watched them happily. Next, something horrible happened. One of Chrysalis's assassins attempted to kill the old changeling.

"Father!"

"Ghost!" The elder changeling was locked in combat with the assassin "Take Snow to the cave! Protect her with your life!" Ghost hesitated. "NOW!" Ghost picked up Snow and ran, stopping to look back. The assassin held his father’s head high, as if it was a twisted trophy. Finally, when they got back to the cave Snow's guards sealed the cave entrance.

Ghost locked himself in his room for hours before coming out, and calling a meeting of the White Elders. "The King has died. Chrysalis sent an assassin to kill him." As Ghost mentioned the assassin the Elders whispered amongst each other. "I seek advice from you."

The oldest of the Elders spoke up "You must become the new king. Without a king we have no order."

"Is revenge a wise idea?"

"No, but if she attacks again... she shall receive a war. We must try to reason with her first."

"Yes Brother Isaac." Ghost left the meeting room.

The next morning Ghost, Snow, and a group of guards marched to Chrysalis's Hive. It was a lot bigger than where they infiltrated last time, but something else was worrying them, there weren’t many changelings in the hive. That was when Ghost realized it: it was a trap. Chrysalis emerged from the deep of the cave and quickly called her guards who immobilized Ghost, Snow, and their guards. Chrysalis gave the group a sinister smile before walking to Snow, who was being held by a guard, and tossed her to the ground and then she ripped her eye out with a beam of green energy. Snow let out a huge scream of pain as Chrysalis simply watched the scene with a big smile, she slowly walked to Snow’s face and lifted it on, telling her something loud enough so Ghost and the guards could hear it

“I hope this serves as a lesson dear ‘rebels’, the next time you try something as stupid as this, that little eye of yours will seem nothing compared to what I’ll do to you” Chrysalis watched as Snow’s other eye started to turn white and she passed out of pain. Ghost knew that she would heal the wound but her eye was lost. Chrysalis ordered her guards to lift the white changelings before tossing them magically out of her kingdom and in the deep woods. The fall didn’t kill them but Ghost was enraged beyond any comparison; he would make her pay for what she did.
