Change of the changlings

Changlings are not 'born' in the sense of the term, instead, the hive's queen lays eggs in the hatching caves within the hive, and later, these eggs hatch. Different hives treat their young in different ways, for instance, my hive actually celebrates every time a new set of eggs is hatched, and assigns each of us the job that we are meant to do. My hive is a happy place, even if it is dark and dank. But one hive, who's queen is known as Chrysalis, treats their hatchlings with little care, or respect, they are born and bred for killing, only ten out of every hundred eggs is allowed to survive, all the others must be devoured alive by their own kindred. I, as an ambassador and trainer, have seen this for myself. It's horrible, the newly hatched changlings eating each other, all because they need to live. I remember a long time ago, when I first visited there, I was told of one who had eaten every single one of his brethren...

Once upon a time, towards the west of the magical land of Equestria, there lived a hive in the badlands. In the hive, was one of the most horrid tribes of sentient species imaginable. They, unlike others of even their own kind, renounced the teachings of the great one, and resorted to devouring emotions. What they didn't know, was that the great one had left behind a prophecy, that included all races and tribes of the world, and that was their downfall.

For in the prophecy, it was foretold that many heroes would rise, to aid the world to the greatness of the blessed Equestria. It was also told, that many of these heroes would die for another, in the great battle for the blessed lands. One specific hero had originated from one of the worst places imaginable.

He came from the hive of Chrysalis.
