"Are You Not Afraid Of Me?"

I flew until the choking feeling finally became too much and I landed near a cliff that overlooked a large canyon of lifeless land. I felt pitiful, I felt completely worthless. The years and years I’ve spent feeling no remorse no empathy, anything. Gone in a single instance by the affection of a little pony.

I stared off into the distance letting the emotions just take hold of me for a moment. Tears began to form, but I managed to hold them back. I had not fallen so far as to start shedding tears over this. The canyon in front of me seem to ever end in either direction, and maybe it didn’t.

Maybe it split the world right in half, separating one hemisphere from another It perplexed me as in my life I may never know what was on the other side, but yet it still existed. At the moment I was trying to take my mind off the situation. If I thought about it, the choking feeling would return and it frightened me.   Eventually I managed to push the situation out of my mind and the feeling disappeared. All of this made me tired and I wished to sleep.

I rested my head on the edge of the cliff feeling the blazing sun shine on my back. Yet I opened my eyes when I heard hoof steps behind me. I didn’t need to look to know who it was.

“I bet you enjoy seeing me like this Twilight Sparkle.” I said, voice slightly shaky. “Weak, venerable, everything I shouldn’t be.”

“I don’t enjoy seeing any pony like this Chrysalis. I understand it must be strange set of circumstances for you.”

“What?” I asked, “the fact that in over a few thousand years that I’ve been perfectly fine being alone and independent from anypony’s assistance, all of that brought down around me because I find somepony who doesn’t find me repulsive or frightening?”

“We can only be alone for so long Queen Chrysalis. I think I know that better than anypony.” The purple unicorn sat beside me and looked out in the distance as I did.

“It may shock to you believe, but I didn’t always have my friends with me. I had to earn them a long time ago, and when it was happening I believed I didn’t need them because I had been fine basically being on my own for so long.” I gave a smirk thinking that she didn’t really know what being alone was like.

“Yet when I really looked at everything I realized, that I was fine on my own. That I could just bury myself into books and studying, but then; what kind of life would I be living if I did? I knew that the brief time I spent with my friends was probably the best time I had in awhile."

"They showed me that there is far more to life then just finding your purpose and falling into line. I think our destiny’s in life are liable to take little detours now and again.” We still sat there, and my eyes were beginning to hurt, as I had not blinked in a long while and the sun was bright.

“Did you know that it is said Ponies and Changelings came from the same ancestors?” I began. “It is legend at some point in history; a few ponies lacked the love and compassion most ponies would receive. This caused them to grow angry and they used magic to steal the love that was intended for others."

"Eventually as nature took its course the group of ponies started to evolve differently due to their lack of genuine love and compassion. Their appearance reflected what was in their hearts.” Twilight took a glance at me and I decided to meet her eyes. We stared for a minute then looked back.

“That is why Changelings are not able to feel the emotions like regular ponies do. Changelings can only take love they cannot not feel it. Yet for some reason, because of Terra I can feel those emotions, or...rather I can feel those emotions again because of her.”  There was a long pause and the sun was now on it’s decent to the end of landscape.

I had been sitting here a lot longer than I had realized. Several hoofsteps sounded behind me, I turned around to see Terra leading the group of multicolored ponies. She walked up and gave me a smile. I couldn’t help but smile back.

“I can’t say why you are so different from the rest of your species Queen Chrysalis, but I can offer some advice.” Twilight said as Terra walked closer to me and we were within hooves reach of each other.

“You should embrace what makes you different, because you might find. You’d be much happier than repressing it.”

Terra held out a hoof and I looked at it for a moment. My heart was racing now and I began to sweat. I was so unsure on what I should do or what to feel. I reached out my hoof and took hold of hers. Then I realized that it was okay, because in the end I was still feeling.
