A/N- -This will make alot more sense, if you have read the Daniel series, or at least, Daniel Book 4

The setting was dark, it was moist, damp, and smelled strangely of death and decay. only two familiar faces, that weren't fake, could be seen. One was hideous. Her eyes were a swampy green, and within the murky depths, was no love, no joy, and no regret. Her skin was covered in a hardened shell, if one was to look closely, they would find it a dark, sickly, green. But most, saw it as black. scattered across her body, were oozing holes, dripping with a musky scent to the strange substance. Sprouting out of her back, in unholy way, were two ugly bug like wings, light green and transparent. They were large enough to carry her weight, but thin enough to slice through solid rock. atop her head, was a crooked and bent horn, with jagged edges, and stained with a dark red substance that was not ketchup. Her demonic smile could, and would, send chills down anypony's spine.There was a large cracking sound within her chamber.

The changling next to Chrysalis looked up at her worriedly. "Ma'am, you, you don't enjoy watching your own children destroy themselves, do you?" CC asked. She had a spark in her eye that told of innocence.

"Your hive's queen is a softy, sending you over here instead of coming herself. Something tells me, that you will not be joining our ranks for plan beta. But if you view this, without turning away, I can personally guaranty that your hive will be safe during the invasion. But if you turn away, I will feed you to them, and declare war on it." Chrysalis said in an oddly seductive way. CC's eyes widened, but she nodded.

"Okay, but remember, my hive may be the friendliest, but it is also the most defended," and with a gulp, she gazed out at the lower caverns underneath the stone pathway they were on. Suddenly there was another loud crack, and at once, many of the rocks below them, began to crack open, revealing that instead of rocks, were newborn changling foals. there was a sudden screech, and the gore fest, began.

It started off simply as the foals would come close to each other in pairs or groups of three, and immediately started to bite each other, legs were torn off, and heads ripped apart, shredded and swallowed by each other. Blood stained everything, and it went on like this, until there were only four left. Even Chrysalis seemed shocked at this. The four stared up at their queen, bruised and battered. Then suddenly, after a surprised yelp, there were three, and everybody in the room looked confused. There was a sound of a burp, and the missing changeling's bloody horn flew out from nowhere.

Two more disappeared, leaving just one, who was already in an attack stance that came with its natural instinct. Suddenly, it too, was gone. Then out of the darkness, came a different looking changeling. Its wings were red, as well as its eyes.

"Well, well. looks like we have a new general. And you, young Cadianidina, can tell your hive's queen that not only will we not attack it, but we will protect it." She said dangerously. CC nodded, and left the current underground cave to get back to the hive's embassy. Chrysalis turned towards the remaining changling, and spoke. "Young one, you have the markings of a queen, yet you are male. Therefore I dub you with a name. You are Shadow. Prince Shadow. I know that you are destined for big things, and to lead us into glory." Her voice contained no encouragement, only malice. Shadow simply smiled innocently, and giggled.
