The Missing Elements

"Ouch!" Cloud Dash exclaimed. It had been almost 20 minutes now, and the strange pain in her forehead had returned. Feather Wish was far back in the room, examining it. The room seemed to be for storage. And judging by the items and colors of the room, this was changeling territory. Old miscellaneous items scattered across shelves collected duct in the medium-sized room.

"Cloud Dash, I've been doing some digging in this old book I found." Feather Wish said.

"How can you dig in a book if there's no dirt?" Cloud Dash wondered.

Feather Wish blinked. "...Never mind. Anyways, it seems that love is what feeds the changelings. The queen takes control of one's mind by taking the form of who the pony loves most. If it has taken effect long enough, the pony will become one of her slaves. The more love she gets a hold of, the stronger her army is. Cloud Dash...If she gets a hold of our sisterly love and connection, she will be able to use us to do her bidding! What do we do?"

Cloud Dash pondered this. What would Rainbow Dash do? Hm, no, they can't be that wreckless. Hmm... "We take a stand! We'll have to outwit them! Since they feed off of love, we'll have to...hate to...separate...But it will be worth it if we can meet up together somewhere when we escape!"

Feather Wish signed. If only it was easier than it seemed...

--It had been days now. However, the mane 6 could not find the girls...--

Cloud Dash woke up with a start. "Ouch! Hey, what the--?" Shaking her head, she looked down at the sleeping Feather Wish. The dim light from the closed door shined in through the darkness to show her slumbering body. Her longer end feathers were not blue, but white! And...was that a HORN on her her forehead!?

Feather Wish slowly opened her eyes. "Cloud Dash, what's the--Oh my! Cloud Dash, your wings! And...and...you have a HORN!"

Cloud Dash gasped. "W-What!? Y-Your end feathers a-are white and YOU have a horn! W-What...H-How..."

"Y-Your end wings are...rainbow colored...W-Wait! Look, there's a mirror in that corner! L-Let's grab it!" Gasping, they looked into the the mirror. Feather Wish's end wings were white, with blue gemstone icons below each feather's tip. Cloud Dash's wing tips were rainbow, with small musical notes on the tips. Each of them had a horn. Where they...Alicorns!?

The door slammed open. Queen Chrysalis appeared.

"Hahahahaha! The time has BEGUN!"
