Sit. A special changeling

Sit was in heaven. Everything around him was just like he wanted. He had food. It tasted horrible but he wasn't starving anymore. Noone tried to kill him. Well atleast noone he couldn't take care of with ease.

Everything was so great for him that he forgot where he actually was. And that was what nearly caused his life.

The problem and danger on entering the actual dream of the pony the changelings feed of is that that they loose sight about what is around them. And that is what the other changelings are waiting for. While Sit and his host were still unconscious some of the smaller changelings from before sneaked up to Sit and the host and as they made sure he was still inside he dream they attacked him.

It was fast and painful. They got him and killed him. They weren't experienced so they didn't bite him in the neck but tried to attack the throath that is protected by flexible plates. But after a couple of seconds the plates just gave in. The host died fast and silent but Sit got ripped out of the dream and felt his own body getting damaged as well.

He needed a couple of seconds before he realsied what was going on. He decided to stay inside the dead body of the host until he was alone but the other changelings didn't stop.

They tried to rip him apart but then another group of changeling appeared. Some of the royal drones. The group of smaller changeling ran away in panic. They knew what will happen if they stay. The royal drones where known for their brutality. They came from the time before the canterlot incident.

It was really rare for then to show up in the lowest halls of the hive. One of them walked up to the dead body of the big changeling on the ground.

"Rise. We know that you are still alive in there."

Sit remained silent confused about the sudden change of events. After a couple of second he decided that it was futile to remain hidden and he saw once how the drones act when they get upset about something. He left the body slowly through the wounds and the mouth of the dead body. It took him nearly a minute to gain his old form.

"What is your name drone?" again the changeling who walked up to him.

Sit just shook his head. He didn't have a real name. He though about away to identify himself but he wasn't able to come up with anything.

"Speak up!" the royal drone infront of him seemed to get upset so Sit had to think about something. He remembered the name of the pony he fed on. Cid. But that wasn't his name so he thought about something like that and came up with:

"Sss-Si-Sit" The first word he ever spoke in his life. He knew he could talk but didn't see any advantage in it. All changelings he ever appraochad saw how small he was compared to them and attacked him immeadiently. Without wings and a horn he made a pitiful picture of a changeling. So he didn't speak until now.

"Mm-my naaame is.... Sit. W-what doo. You wantt fromm me?" Speaking was hard for him because he never practised it before

"You are NOT in the position to ask any questions. But I will answer. Just remember to do that never again... Well... We heared about you. The changelings talk about dead body rising and a strange small changeling without any wings or horns that seems to escape any assault and fight. We are here to investigate. If you are that one you are allowed to get to one of the upper halls. But you have to show your worth andt for that manner... You have to survive the pit for one week." His voice was cold as ice and sharp like a blade as he said the last sentence.

Sit froze in place. The pit. The place where changelings battle each other to get in a higher hall. Just the strongest fight there. And if someone wins a fight he can get out but noone ever tried to survive in it as far as Sit heared. It was a hole in the middle of the hall and there were nowhere to hide in it. It was a promised death for Sit but if he spoke up against it he would die right now. He thought about his chances to escape the royal drones and then about fighting in the pit for one week. He decided.

He jumped at the drone which immeadiently reacted and punched his face but Sit expected that and became liquid so the hoof just went through. Sit then formed half solid again and rushed to the exit where 2 other drones were standing. The looked surprsed at the strange thing that tried to get past them. Both of them pulled out a bottle and ran it through the liquid to catch it up. They succeeded. As they were done their bottles were full and Sit felt that they had some important parts of him. One of them had a big part of his back the other one an eye and a part of the organs. If he would go solid now he would maybe die. He stopped.

After a couple of seconds the first drone walked up to him. "I admire your sharp thinking. You knew it would be more likely to escape us then hte pit... To bad that we were prepared. If you follow us to the pit now we will spare you."

He walked around the puddle that was Sit. Looking at it and smiling dangerously. He sometimes tried to step on him but Sit always pulled back fast enough.

After a minute he decided that resistance was futile and that hisbest bet was to escape the pit somehow. he formed himself up so much that he was able to talk."...Okay... you wiin"
