(A note from the book keeper, I appear to have lost track of which number this is and My Queen keeps the others on her person so I cant check. --Shadow the book keeper)

Entry # unknown in the record of Queen Naiad, 67th ruler of the Bee-keep Hive.

Naiad watched as her changelings gathered in the clearing. Metallic stood to her right at a warriors attention and Luna stood a distance to her left as her guest. A low muttering could be heard among the members of her Hive. When the last one gathered all fell silent they looked at Naiad.

"Children!" Naiad's voice boomed "There are many things I must say now and you all must hear me" She looked around the gathered changelings and continued "Fang has by now relayed my orders regarding the ponies that live here from now on, they are to be treated as well if not better than any changeling. Our numbers are few and dwindling fast it is my hope that the ponies we rely on for food will start to provide more love soon. Rest assured that I have now taken a mate and when Night's eggs run out, will provide new ones. I haven't however called you all here to reassure the weak-hearted among the Hive" Naiad stood tall and ran her eyes over her Hive "We are dieing, not just this Hive, but our entire nation we have been foolish and careless, we have forgotten what our ancestors taught. As a people if we are to survive we must act with compassion. I will not pretend we are compassionate, nature has made us cruel and so we chose the easy way out. Rather than learn to act with care we started to act how we felt. Under our cruelty the ponies we cared for withered. Still rather than do what was right we stole love from the ponies who where already starved for any kind of affection! We acted foolishly and now we are paying for it!" she took a breath and continued "We let our only source of food diminish into what it is now. It is only because of our carelessness that we are in this position. Do not be fooled into believing that the other Hives have fared much better." Naiad's eyes scanned the crowd "We stand at the rim of a Hive war, one we must enter and one we must win. It is a Queen's duty to preserve her Hive and a Drone's duty to aid her. It is our peoples purpose to survive against all odds! We must win this war, for if all changelings do not go back to the old way, as our Hive will, then we will die out. It is our duty each and everyone to stand in the face of death and challenge its existence! We must do this for our Hive and we must to this for all changelings. We must change our ways and heal what we have broken!" Naiad took a deep breath "Long Live The Hive!"

For a moment nothing happened, Naiad feared nothing would. Then her changelings spoke.

"Long live the Hive" they all echoed her

They understood, Naiad could have danced, had her mind not been set on acting mature. Her little Drones understood. Why they would have to face such hard changes, and why she would throw her already battered and broken Hive into a fray they where not ready for, they understood. "Metallic!" she barked

"Yes my Queen"

"We are now a Hive at war, proceed accordingly. Gather the troops tonight we destroy Queen Hex and take the land of the Anthill Hive."

"Right away My Queen Commander" Metallic left her side and wadded into the crowd snapping orders. Naiad smiled, she'd be hearing that title until the war was over.

"We could help" Luna walked over to her and whispered

"I will never be accepted as Queen of the Hives unless my Hive dose this itself, other Hives may aid me and the ponies on our land may also aid me, but Equestria must not interfere in this war."

Record of lead warrior Metallic

It had started to snow by the time we had gathered the army, It was not a natural snow for it was the middle of spring, but rather a changeling powered blizzard. The Drones pushed it toward the Anthill Hive. It would arrive well before we did but, while it would give our attack away, The Beekeep Hive's talent had always been in fighting in bad weather. I still think we should have recruited ponies from the villages in our territory but Luna had advised against it and My Queen had- excuse me, My Queen Commander, had agreed, and that had been the end of that.

I believe I'm supposed to be writing in third person, you'll have to get over it my dear reader, A warrior is trained to always give a first person report. That means you, by the way Shadow, I know you'r reading this, get a life I don't have time for you to harass my about this report!

Sigh, anyway I should move on.

I led the army to the border and we waited there for My Queen to show up. (I'm not going to add commander every time it would add like three pages to my final report)

My Queen just bit my head of (Metaphorically of course she doesn't hate me that much) I'd better move to third person now.

Metallic took in his surroundings, a light snow had dusted the land when the blizzard had come through. It would give them the advantage, his Hive knew how to fight in the snow and cold, it was part of their basic training. Eventually the Queen showed up. She looked a bit nervous shifting on her hooves but when she turned to the army her voice rang clear "No mercy!" The changelings hissed in response, it was a quiet thing but it shook the ground. "I will meet you on the battle field" She took to the air and flew ahead

"Attention!" Metallic snapped, his warriors obeyed. "You all heard the Queen! No Mercy! If somebody so much as looks at you funny kill them. Our enemy has the numbers and that is a problem we must remedy if we are to survive this fight. Protect the Queen our goal is to get her to Queen Hex as quickly as possible. Am I understood!"

The warriors roared this time, a battle cry that could be heard all the way to the Anthill Hive and far beyond.

"To Wing!" Metallic called, as one Naiad's changelings rose from the ground and went to challenge Hex.
