Shortly after their expulsion from Canterlot, Chrysalis finds herself knocking on death's door along with many of her people. Will she be able to get help in time even if she can't help herself? Will a last ditch plan buy them enough time or is it already too late for the Changeling Race?

(Warning, this story will be darker than what I typically write…the rating will surely change too. Also, if you have any cover art suggestions…please send them my way.)
