Changeling's Story - 21/12/2012
Rarity was brushing her lushes, purple hair; when she heard an odd buzzing noise. Confused to what the noise might be she decided to take a look. She put down the hair brush and started to follow the sound. She assumed it was Sweetie Belle being an idiot when she remembered that Sweetie was out, ever more confused now she followed the noise outside. What she could see in front of her rendered her paralysed, than it all went black.
"One down."
Applejack was stomping through the fields, annoyed, at herself and at Big Mac. They had just had a fight about, you guessed it, apples. Applejack insisted that she do most of the work this season, but Big Mac. denied it, and it just exploded from there. As she continued through the fields she could see something black a few tree down. "Hello? Is anypony there?" It darted off before Applejack could give it a second thought. Than she was smashed in the back of the head, and collapsed.
"Two down, four to go."
Rainbow Dash was going for her old record, most thinking creatures would think breaking the sound barrier was fast enough, but not for Rainbow. She was slightly aware of the laws of physics, but she just thought they were for eggheads and decided to ignore them. She kept pushing herself though the air, eyes closed and flapping her wings as fast as she possibly could. She opened her eyes for a split second to see a green eyed creature, crashed, then was out cold.
"Half way there."
Pinkie Pie had managed to confuse herself, somehow. The problem was her Pinkie sense had been going off all day, and Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash had been gone for about as long. For most ponies one day without seeing your friends is no concern, but this is Pinkie Pie. Her and the Cutie Mark Crusaders where on a quest, a quest to find Pinkies friends. After 20 minutes they gave up, Scootaloo convinced them that AJ, Rarity and Rainbow had only been gone for one day and were properly trying to do something in secret. "It's time", a snake like voice said in the bushes, three dark animals pounced, Pinkie and the CMC were out before a scream could be made.
"Just two left, and some extras my queen."
Fluttershy, Twilight and basically the rest of Ponyville were on the hunt for Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. Everypony are calling them the 'list', simply because everypony got sick of repeating their names over and over again. It had been a week since their disappearance and the only thing the disappearances have in common in that they're gone. The search was going very slow, because everypony was terrified, there had been reports of changeling sightings all over Ponyville. Anypony with half a brain could figure out that these two things are related, so very quickly Twilight made the connection.
Her, Fluttershy and Spike where now nearing the Everfree Forest, and if Fluttershy had pants, they'd be brown by now, "I really, Really think we should turn back" she whimpered,
"come on Fluttershy, if we give up now we might never find Rarity!" Spike said, obviously only looking forward to saving Rarity.
"Fluttershy don't worry, when we get to the Everfree Forest we'll meet up with Zecora and be right out!" Twilight told Fluttershy in a calming tone.
"But Twilight, what about the, the, *gulp*, changelings",
"Don't worry girls! If trouble comes there's always Spike!" A loud WOSH sound was made, "WHAT WAS THAT?!" Spike and Fluttershy said in unison, hugging each other.
Rainbow Dash stumbled out of a bush, she looked as if she had been attacked for 7 days strait, which she might have been. "G- Girls?" Rainbow Dash stuttered,
"Rainbow you're ok!" Fluttershy and Twilight hugged Rainbow with the biggest hug ever performed. But something seemed off to Spike, why would Rainbow Dash be so close to Ponyville and not just fly back? She wouldn't is the answer. Spike decided to take a bold move.
"That's not Rainbow Dash! Why would Rainbow be so close to Ponyville and not just fly back?!"
"She wouldn't" Said Rainbow in an echo like voice.
"Knew it! Wait? WHAT!?" Spike jumped back with Twilight and Fluttershy as Rainbow Dash morphed into a changeling before their very eyes. Her wings started to burn and began to resemble the wings of an insect, her teeth grow long and sharp, her eyes turned a mixture of blue and green, a horn which resembled black swiss cheese grew from her head, as a black exo' skeleton grow over her blue fur, holes developed though her legs.
The once was Rainbow Dash knocked out Fluttershy before she had the chance to scream. Then she picked up the terrified Spike and throw him in the air, before Twilight could do anything what appeared to be Rarity with wings snatched Spike and was off in an instant. Everything was happening so fast Twilight could barely keep up, when she noticed a pair of hooves flying towards her face. Then she was out cold.
When she woke she was tied up and couldn't move; but she was still herself, which was a relief. She looked to her side to see Fluttershy in some kind of goo cacoon; Twilight had read about changelings before leaving and was terrified by this. When a pony is put in a changeling shell it means that the pony had all of its emotions drained, and was being transformed into a changeling. She was surprised that whoever was behind this hadn't done the same to her as Fluttershy.
She looked at her surroundings; she appeared to be in some kind of castle styled after a damp cave. All the walls were black with water dripping from them; the roof was about 5 stories high and also dripping water. Small windows where almost hidden at the top, what she could see out of them was what looked like that weather you'd find in the apocalypse. The sky was red with black clouds, lightning seemed to always be striking. "Beautiful isn't it? I made it to suit my subjects." Twilight knew that voice, it was Queen Chrysalis. Twilight had been so engulfed in looking at her surroundings she hadn't noticed anypony coming up to her.
"Why have you done this?" Twilight whispered, terrified.
"Imagine the power if I could wield the elements of harmony!"
"I'd rather not" Twilight thought maybe that was a very, extremely, apocalyptically stupid thing to say. But, she was 99% shore that she was going to die, so really anything goes.
"Oh, a smart ass. Girls please show Twilight to the cell she'll be staying at. Don't worry; I modelled it after the Canterlot Caves just for you." Twilight should have been scared but she was tired, concurringly holding her head up had taken it out of her.
So instead of struggling she chose to take interest in the two 'girls' Chrysalis had sent to 'escort' her to the cell. Immediately she noticed something different to them compared to the other changelings, their horns where long and holely which meant royalty/power. But Twilight barely noticed this though; all SHE could see was the hair of the two changelings that were transporting her. One of the changelings had long blond hair in a ponytail with a large cowboy hat, just like Applejack's. The other had long purple hair in slight curls, like Rarity's.
"A-Applejack? Rarity? Is it really you?" They grabbed Twilight's hind legs and flew off, obviously trying to make her as uncomfortable as possible. They seemed unfazed by the question she had asked them. Then, without warning, all three of them took off; the two changelings carrying Twilight just enough so she wouldn't fall. They flow out the Grand room of the castle and down the hall. The unnamed changelings flew with such grace and speed you'd be fooled into thing they'd not be carrying a full sized mare. The trio buzzed around corners and down halls for at least 10 maybe 20 minutes before blasting out side into the world. The two flyers seemed to know exactly where they were going, making sharp turns with no hesitation, this made Twilight feel relieved. She knew that a week is nowhere near long enough for to flyless ponies to become ace flyers; or for two ponies to learn their way around a completely new land.
She looked up at the two flyers, "You two aren't AJ and Rarity are you? You're just two normal changelings who changed appearance to confuse me." They looked at each other, than dropped Twilight. She fell, and screamed, a scream so loud that all the whole world shook as the sound wave hit. Everything slowed, just enough time to let Twilight have one last thought, 'this is it. I've fought changelings, gods, dragons, and I'm going to fall to my death.' There was a splat, and Twilight fell into a deep sleep.
Oddly enough, she woke. Just as Chrysalis had said, where she was did indeed look like the Canterlot Caves. There was just enough light for her to see, but she decided that using a small light spell couldn't hurt, she used about as much concentration as needed, nothing happened. So she used a little bit more, than more, and more. 'Till she gave up, obviously she couldn't wield magic, so she went to a reflective surface (which was everything) to see if it was a problem with her horn. She walked over to a large rock to check.
What she could see made her stop; stop walking, stop thinking, stop feeling, stop hearing; it just made her stop. She appeared to be alright, but not her horn, her horn was not the same, everything about it was different. It was long, black and crocked, just like Chrysalis' horn. She still had purple fur and mane with a pink streak down the middle. Her cutie mark was a star surrounded by other stars, resembling magic. But her horn, the horn, that horn.
A thought dove into her head, 'if this is the horn of someone evil, maybe evil thoughts of some kind might power the horn. It's worth a shot'. So she imagined the pleasure she had experienced when making Rainbow Dash look bad as Mare Do Well, the pleasure when turning Discord to stone, thoughts of what she was going to do to Chrysalis when she escaped. Though it wasn't every strong, a spark popped out the end of the horn, it had worked. Clearly, if she wanted to use magic with this horn, she'd have to relearn the basics than go on from there. She had no idea how to start, learning magic is hard enough. But teaching yourself, in a dark cave from scratch with deep knowledge of how a completely different type of magic works, that's going to be impossible! But she was determined to get some kind of magic working, so she set to work.
After hours of toying around and just seeing if things work, she came to one conclusion. She'd have to forget everything she already knew about magic. The problem was every time she tried to use magic she just did what she was used to, which didn't work with this horn. But a much bigger problem was arising, all the other problems she had. She was tired, cold, hungry, thirsty, lonely, couldn't do magic; and most of all, she was scared.
She was still debating with herself if she really was in the Canterlot Caves, or just a place made to look like them. She was scared for her friends, it was blindingly obvious that her friends where being turned into changelings, which made her feel queasy. The thought of her friends being turned into emotion eating monsters made Twilight sick. So she tried thinking of something else to get the image out of her head.
Her mind eminently jumped to two topics, food and sleep. She was starving, if her maths was correct, she hadn't eaten in 2 days, making it dangers if she didn't eat soon. She was also exhorted, the last two times she at slept it was because of being hit in the head; and spending the day trying to relearn magic from scratch really takes it out of you.
What was more important food or sleep debate was answered for her, when a plate appeared in front of her. What was on the plate Twilight couldn't determine, it seemed to be black and blue sludge dumped on a plate. She walked up to it to get a closer look. Just as she reached the plate Chrysalis' face appeared on every wall, "don't worry Twilight" Chrysalis said in a confusingly caring tone, "it's not poisons, in fact it's quite healthy."
"Why would you want to feed me?" Twilight asked,
"Why would I want my prisoner to die? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?" Twilight was having trouble finding a flow in Chrysalis logic. So she bent down to the 'food' and took a bite. It tasted like a bull's balls had been burnt than farted on, but she had no other chose but to eat it, it seemed to quench her thrust so whatever it was it must have some kind of water replacement in it. When she finished her plate she went over to a corner and fell asleep. "That's right my daughter" Chrysalis said in a loving tone, "finish your plate, there's lots more where that came from." And with that, her image left the rocks, and Twilight was left to sleep.
When Twilight woke she felt refreshed, she was positive that was the best sleep she'd ever had, which was odd considering she fell asleep with her captor looking at her while on a rock in the cold. She didn't feel too hungry and she wasn't dead so whatever Chrysalis had given her the night before must have been some kind of food. Or at least she guessed it had been night, being in a cave made it impossible to tell what time of day it was.
She stood up to see if there was anything around apart from just rocks and crystals. But before that she decided to see if she could make any kind of light spell with the horn she had. To make the spell she concentrated really hard on something which she hated, and after a short time, her horn came to life. A light no brighter than a flame torch started shining from her head, she had done it. Somehow she managed to create a spell with magic she'd only been practising for a couple of hours. With the new gift of light she started to look at her surroundings.
It looked less like the Canterlot Caves than she first thought, you could tell it was inspired by them, but not made with a picture. As she looked around she noticed the size of the room, or, well, lack of it. The whole room was about 20m2 which may seem pretty big but it really wasn't. It was probably just big enough so you wouldn't get claustrophobia, just. It seemed to be about 10m tall, so it was quite a tall room. Twilight tried to see some kind of exit, even if it was on the roof, but no luck. There seemed to be no way in, or out. Which asked the question, how did she get in? No doors, no windows, no cracks, no out of place rooks, it was very weird.
Twilight thought she'd take that time of nothing to re-cap of what has happened to her over the last few days, 'my friends, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike and I have been kidnapped by changelings, my friends have become changelings, I'm in a dark cold cave, my horn has become I horn of dark magic, I've tort myself dark magic, I ate the worst 'food' ever, and I was dropped from a deadly height and survived. That's a lot to happen to just one mare in just a few days.'
She became hungry and tired again and a matter of seconds, her horn stopped making light and she collapsed. Making the dark magic required to create light with the horn had taken it out of Twilight. She looked up to see another plate of food in front of her; she dragged her self over to it and started eating. This time the sludge was green and yellow, but it still tasted pretty horrible. Chrysalis' face covered all the rocks again, "How's my prisoner? I see you managed to create some magic with that horn of yours?"
"It's not my horn." Twilight said, though it was the horn on her head it still wasn't hers.
"Of course it's your horn, would you look at that! It looks just like my horn!" Chuckled Chrysalis,
"Why are you spying on me Chrysalis? And where are my friends?!" Demanded Twilight,
"You may call me Queen, not Chrysalis; and all you have to know about your friends is that they're not dead." Chrysalis snapped at Twilight, clearly annoyed at the tone Twilight had used on her just before. "Now eat up, it's quite hard to prepare the food on this plate." Twilight might have been terrified and hated Chrysalis guts, but she wasn't rude, and if Chrysalis had gone some trouble to get her food than she wasn't going to be ungrateful. So she finished her plate and went back to the corner where she a slept before, and fell asleep. "Little Twilight, don't worry, you'll fell different in the morning." Just like before, Chrysalis disappeared and left Twilight to sleep.
As Twilight woke up she felt her emotions going wild, 2 seconds she'd be happy than 5 seconds she'd be scared than for 3 seconds she'd fell all brave and wont to kick Chrysalis in the face. After about 5 minutes of this madness she managed to gain control over herself.
She walked over to one of the walls to see her reflection for two resins; one, she wanted to see her hair, two, she wanted to see if she could use the dark magic to fix her hair. Like the first time she looked at her reflection, she stopped. Because of something she could see on the back of her head. She saw four antennae sticking out the back of her head in the shape of a crown. Only one other living creature had this, and the creature was Queen Chrysalis. Twilight was almost in shock, she now had the horn and crown of a royal changeling. She kept studying herself, checking for any other differences in herself. She had her mane, fur, cutie mark, tail, everything, everything but her horn; and now she had antennae, with no usage apart from making her freak out.
After some time to herself to think, Twilight decided that her crazy emotions had something to do with the crown on her head; and that the thing on the back of her head was more of a crown than antennae, and though it was different, it was her horn on her head. Though she had time to calm down, she was still very worked up. When her horn changed she was very distracted being in a new place and trying to comprehend that she had been captured by changelings. But now that it had been maybe 4 days, and she now had more changeling features, everything was starting to sink in, and instead of her emotions going all over the place she could only feel one, fear.
Fear for her friends, fear for Spike, fear for the CMC, and fear for herself. She didn't want to be a changeling; she didn't want to be one of Chrysalis mindless drones eating the emotions of helpless ponies. She sat down, and cried. She cried for what felt like hours, crying about her friends, about Spike, the CMC, everything she wasn't certain about she was scared and sad about, will anypony in Ponyville find and save her? Will the Princess? She didn't know.
Yet again, a plate with interesting coloured sludge appeared by Twilight, and Chrysalis' face appeared all over the rocks, "Hello Twilight how's i- what's wrong?" Chrysalis asked in a voice that seemed to be genuine,
"Please Chrysalis, I just want to be alone" Twilight managed to say between sops,
"Twilight please, call me Queen and tell me what's wrong." Chrysalis' tone made it seem that see was actually concerned,
"Why do you care? You lock me in a dungeon away from all my friends and don't even give me an explanation why!" Twilight's tone was going from sad to angry as she talked to Chrysalis,
"It'll all become clear later, know eat." Twilight did as she was told, with tears of anger and sadness in her eyes she ate the pink and purple sludge in front of her, it didn't taste almost as bad as the first two times, but it was still pretty bad. When the food was gone she went back to the corner, and cried herself to sleep. "My poor little Twilight, you feel no one cares but they do; if only you trusted enough to stop crying." Chrysalis face plinked off the rocks. Maybe it was just pure luck, but Twilight stopped crying.
Twilight woke up feeling happier than when she had gone to sleep. At some point though out the sleep she had stopped crying, and was now feeling good; but she didn't know why. Why should she be feeling good? She couldn't see a resin why, but for whatever resin, the thoughts that had made her so upset the night before seemed not so bad. She went over to a wall to look at herself.
Her crown seemed to be sticking up more; she thought the maybe her mood was reflected by the stability of her crown. Her horn didn't seem to mind her anymore, she decided to see if she could create any magic, before she was even trying a light was being eddied by her horn; somehow, she had mastered dark magic, she was feeling so happy right now nothing was going to get her down. Nothing but her fangs and wings, that got her down, right down.
She jumped back so hard when she saw the wings and fangs that she smashed a rock behind her into a million pieces. Around her lower body was what appeared to be a saddle, but it wasn't. No pony was quite positive about what it was or what it was for, but only changelings have it and it goes right around the body. There was no doubt in Twilight's mind, she was becoming a changeling. But why this slow process? Why not just throw her in the cacoon thing with all her other friends, she didn't know.
But there was one thing that made Twilight feel slightly good about this, she wanted to fly; and now she has wings. Yes she had flown before, but that was always in a hot air balloon, where the wind choses had always where you go for you. But with wings, you could fly where ever you wanted to go, ignoring the wind.
Now, Twilight isn't stupid, though she had been watching pegasus fly for her whole life, she knew that she'd have use completely different tactics than them. Pegasus have the wings of a bird, meaning they can use long graceful flaps and glide; yet changelings have the wings of an insect, meaning that they have to flap very fast constantly to stay off the ground.
Knowing this Twilight stood in the middle of the room, and started buzzing her wings. Flapping wings was, an odd yet enjoyable experience. She needed very little concentration to get going; very slowly she started to lift from the ground. When she was in the air it was very hard to try and stay stable, almost imminently she flipped upside down, and flew into a wall. She flopped onto the ground with very little pain, she was stunned at how unpainful flying into a wall upside down was. She got back to her feet and tried again, this time a lot slower. She flapped her wings about half a strong as the first time, just enough to get off the ground. When she felt she was safely hovering above the ground she tried changing direction, she very slightly sifted her weight to the left, and she started slowly sliding to the left. Her first successful flight. She stopped buzzing and dropped 1 -2 feet to the ground, just as she landed the plate appeared on the ground next to her, and Chrysalis' face all over the walls.
"So I see you've calmed down since yesterday"
"Yes, queen" Both Twilight and Chrysalis were very confused at Twilight calling her 'queen'. For whatever resin it just felt, right, to Twilight calling her queen; and Chrysalis was confused because she never thought Twilight would actually call her that.
"Umm… Ok, I mean, good. I've also noticed that you've been trying you luck at flying."
"Yeah, I don't think I'm that good though." Twilight found it oddly easy to talk with Chrysalis, she'd been the only thing that had made contact with her recently and Chrysalis seemed too actually care about her.
"Don't worry about it, most first flyers can't even get off the ground." Chrysalis seemed to actually care about Twilight's well being.
"Thanks for the support" Twilight walked over to the food, orange and red. She took a bite, it tasted quite nice. See finished off the plate as always and went to her sleeping spot, then feel asleep.
"Twilight, you're learning to enjoy it, but soon I will tell you." Chrysalis' face left the walls, and Twilight slept with a smile.
Twilight woke up after another confusingly great sleep. She got up and remembered last night, and was shocked to review how she had acted. Why had she called Chrysalis queen? Why had the sludge not tasted like crap? Why hadn't she been angry to see Chrysalis? Why hadn't she had a major freak out when seeing the wings and fangs? Why wasn't she freaking out now? If she had a pen and some paper she'd be able to make the longest list ever, the 'what's wrong with my life?!' list.
She didn't even want to look at herself to see what other ways she's becoming a shape shifting demon. She chose to take her mind off everything by practising her flying.
Slowly of the ground, very small turns, just start from the basics; then land. She did this for about an hour or so. She was slowly building her confidence in flying, start slow, learn slow, succeed by the end. After going to the same height, doing the same turn, then doing the same landing; she started to push herself. She went a little bit higher, then a little bit faster, turning sharper. After another hour she just went for it, she started to fly forwards. As she started drifting towards the wall she tried her luck at changing direction, it worked. She was flying. SHE WAS FLYING! She was so happy right now it was impossible, she was so pleased with herself! Taught herself to use dark magic AND how to fly! But there was a catch, a dark purple exo' skeleton; unintentionally she'd flown over to one of the walls and looked at her own reflection.
She landed with a thump, not caring about hurting herself. Was she now a changeling? She didn't feel like one, she thought the idea of eating emotions was sickening, but she looked like a changeling. Apart from one aspect, her eyes, her NORMAL purple eyes, HER eyes. There were two aspects of Twilight left, her hair, and her eyes. Then she remembered something, her cutie mark, the part of her body that told everpony who she was, was gone. She couldn't see her cutie mark, was it still there? Under that terrifying exo' skeleton? If only she could check.
She picked up a rock using magic, and smashed where her cutie mark should be, nothing happened. She used all her might and smashed her flank, she was determined to see if there was her cutie mark under the dark shell. Half an hour of constant smashing, and nothing, not even a scratch. There was no way of checking, so she gave up.
For the next hour she just slowly buzzed around the room, what now? She could fly, she could do magic, everything a changeling could do, apart from one thing, change. But did she want to try it? Become a changeling? Twilight just didn't know. Poof* Here was the plate, and Chrysalis face to go with it.
"How are we today?" Chrysalis asked Twilight, not seeming to notice the fact that Twilight looked just like a changeling. Twilight just looked at her, she didn't want to talk. She walked over to her plate and started eating the grey and blue mush, today it tasted quite delicious; ether it was changing or Twilight was. Twilight finished her plate and licked it clean, it had an amazing taste and Twilight wanted to keep eating but it was done. So she went back to her corner and went to sleep. "My little Twilight, coming along so well." Chrysalis left, and Twilight slept.
Twilight woke up, happy. For some resin everyday she woke up happy and fine with the problems that had plagued her the night before, she looked like a changeling, so what! She still thought like herself, no matter what her appearance. There was still one thing she had to try though, change.
She had done all the other things changelings can do, why not try changing? But there was one drawback, she had no idea how. With flying she already knew how wings worked so that wasn't too hard, and with magic; she had more knowledge on the subject than anypony else, so that wasn't too hard ether. But changing shape? No pony knew how changelings did it; it wasn't like anypony could just walk up and ask. But Twilight decided just to make it up, so she closed her eyes started concentrating; thinking, believing she was something else, she imagined she was herself, she imagined she looked just like old Twilight. She opened her eyes to see no difference, "who am I kidding?" She asked herself, but she sounded odd, echoy and snake like, just like a changeling. She was now certain on the idea of changing, she was a changeling, fine! Why not do what they're famous for! And have the chance to be herself once again, even if it's just for tricks. She closed her eyes and started to not think she looked like Twilight, but believe she did, in her mind she looked and sounded just like Twilight, acted like her, talked like her, looked like her. She opened her eyes, and saw purple fur, she ran over to a wall to look at herself, short strait purple horn, magic cutie mark, no wings; she was Twilight again. "Oh my, I DID IT!!" She even sounded like Twilight, but she wasn't Twilight.
She was a changeling, and you know what? WHO CARES! Not Twilight, as a changeling she could fly, she could still do magic, she could now even change shape. Now Chrysalis was her queen, so what? It's not like Celestia would came and check on her every night to see if she was ok, or make shore she is feed. Chrysalis' face didn't appear on all the walls as normal; it appeared on just one, which see stepped out of as if it was a door. "I see you're feeling well" said Chrysalis,
"Oh my queen, I've fully accepted being a changeling. But why this slow process? Why not put me in a cocoon with the others?"
Chrysalis looked at her lovingly, "I've always wanted a daughter, and I chose you because you had some of the strongest magic I've seen, and you were the only pony who could tell it was me, not Cadence; and I put you through this long process because it's the only way to become a royal changeling; now the process has finished I want to adopt to as my daughter. So what to do you say?"
Twilight had no idea whether to go with Chrysalis or not. Yes she had just said that she accepted being a changeling, but did she? Why would she accept being some she was terrified of not 1 week ago. But she had to make up her mind, but how? The thoughts she'd had before about not caring, where they her thoughts? She knew she'd have to make a bold move, one that would mean changelings would attack Equestria and destroy everything. Twilight walked up to Chrysalis, and hugged her. "I do, mother" Twilight had made the choice, she decided that Chrysalis was one of the first ponies to make shore she was alright, she had feed her and supported her as she was freaking out. Twilight had decided a world and a pony she barely knew, and she was happy about it. She knew that Chrysalis would treat her with the respect and love she wanted.
"Thank you my daughter" Chrysalis touched Twilight's horn with her own, Twilight's eyes became tinted black and green while still having it's original purple, she was now fully a changeling, while still having some Twilight Sparkle,
"now let's get my daughter some real food, not the condensed stuff I had made for pony consumption."
"So I have been eating emotions, but why did it taste better everytime? Was it the emotion?"
"No my daughter, as you became more of a changeling you're taste changed with it" Twilight should have been horrified knowing that she had been eating emotions, but how good they had tasted made it so she didn't care, "So what do you say to us getting so some food?"
"I would love to mother" and Twilight followed Chrysalis through the portal she had come from to her new life.
