Though this only contains part of my story, I will continue to write to myself in seperate letters. This is the last installment for this one though, and I can't write this anymore. I guess this part has been immortalized as my soliloquy for myself, and a document for others, this is goodbye.

Signed,

Terminal.

What Terminal saw following the attack were only fragments of what was being done to heal him as much as possible. He doesn't see many important things when he wakes up and goes under again, but he considers them important because it was his life on the line.

"Don't worry Terminal. I'll get you some help as fast as I can," he heard Lyda say. They scene was blurred and the voice was echoed, so he couldn't make out much of what was happening. Before he could though, he passed out again. What seemed like a second later, he opened his eyes again to see that the Everfree Forest was below him.

"Where are we going?" he asked weakly.

"I told you. We're going somewhere safer than Canterlot to get you help. No one in Ponyville believed me, so I'm taking you somewhere else." This too was blurred and echoed, but he was a little more conscious than before, so he had taken advantage of it. Soon, he had passed out again. The next time he had woken up, he was on the ground or the Everfree Forest, with a campfire in front of him. "Don't worry. Just a little longer then we're there. Just hold up until we get there." Soon after, he goes under once more. This time, he is out for several weeks, instead of a days.

When he wakes up this time, he has full consciousness, and wakes up on a rock type build. He scans his surroundings and finds that he is in a cave of some sort. To his left, there's nothing but a wall. To his right, there are baskets full of materials and tools. The kinds that fillies would play with when they want to.

"Ugh. Where am I? What happened?" he had asked. He was glad to be alive though, and he felt as if he should know if it's safe here. He puts his hoof on his forehead and shuts his eyes tightly since he had a headache. When he opens his eyes, he notices holes in his leg. "WHAT THE?!" he looks down and sees his coat is a darker shade than his normally white one.

"I see you've woken up," says a familiar voice.

"Lyda! What's the meaning of this?!" He points his right hoof, at his left leg. "Why am I like this?! I didn't say you could do this!"

"Didn't you see the pendant around your neck? Take the pendant off."

"The what?" He began to feel around his neck, when he hits a metal string. He pulls it off of him, and sees a white glow turn his body back to the way it was before. "That's neat. So that wasn't real?"

"Of course not. It's a perception filter that makes you look like a changeling to everypony even yourself. No one will care though. They'll just think you're a passer-by. By the way you're in my house if you want to know. It's not my house in Ponyville but it is one of my two houses."

"I'M IN A HIVE?!"

"Well, yeah. This is the closest to Ponyville."

"WHY COULDN'T YOU TAKE ME TO MANEHATTEN OR PHILLYDELPHIA?!"

"Where?" she clearly had no idea of the two cities. So since no one believed her in Ponyville, and Canterlot was attacked, she had to resort to the hive she technecally belonged to..

"Oh. This is just GREAT! SO PEACHY! I've been attacked, passed out, thought I was a CHANGELING, AND discovered I'm in a hive! This is just FANTASTIC!"

"It's not MY fault this has been so weird! In fact, if Chrysalis hadn't planned this, we would still be in Ponyville living our lives normally!"

"I knew we should've left this alone in the first place!"

"YOU knew?! I was the one who knew about the wedding a long time before YOU did!"

"Oh so what?! Now I'M the bad guy for not knowing?!"

"Wait. What's that noise?" She wasn't lying. She did hear a noise and she was tired of arguing as well.

"Yeah I hear it too. It's a buzzing noise. Why?"

"It's normally not this loud. The only reason it would be that loud, is if the Queen, not Chrysalis since this a different hive, was coming to a house, or if there was a public announcement." And she was right. The immense sound was only caused be the Queen doing something.

Terminal looked out the window, or hole in the wall, to see no other changelings flying in one direction. "There's no changelings outside. The Queen has got to be coming here."

"Quick! Put the filter back on!" she told him, and he did that exactly. "Listen, you're just a visitor from another hive who took a serious smack to the head. That's your story. Don't tell anypony you're a real pony."

Soon after telling him that, the Queen entered the house with two guards behind her. "Hello Lyda. I see you've been busy with this pony," she said. She knew about Terminal being a normal pony. "I can see through perception filters. Still, that was a good try. I'll give you credit Lyda."

"Huh. I actually thought that would work hehe," she laughed weakly. "So what brings you here to my house. Not like you've been here several other times."

"Other times?" Terminal asked. "Wow you are quite the troublemaker. You normally don't behave like this at Ponyville."

"May I speak now?" There was a long pause. "Thank you. Now, I've heard about an attack from Chrysalis' hive on Canterlot. Is this true?"

"Well that's the whole reason we came."

"Especially since you didn't know about Manehatten or Phillydelphia," remarked Terminal.

"How was I supposed to know? You didn't know about the wedding until the day before. So that makes us even."

"Back to business," said the Queen. "What exactly happened? And I can tell you have no memory about it so you don't have to respond." She was talking to Terminal but he didn't respond. Instead, he walked over to a wall, and started hitting his head on it.

"So there was a wedding at Canterlot so she took advantage of it by replacing the bride, and leading an attack on it from her entire hive," Lyda had begun to explain the the Queen. "The protection spell protecting the city had been destroyed by the changelings and they started to swarm throughout the city. The Elements-"

"Wait. The Elements fought as well? Wow you REALLY went over the secret line."

"Anyways, the Elements of Harmony fought against the changeling swarm at the same time we did," she continued. "Unfortunately, they were overwhelmed by the swarm and were taken in. At the same time, I was carrying Terminal on my back fending off every changeling that came our way and soon, he fell unconscious. I took him to Ponyville but no one believed me about his accident, so I brought him here."

"I see," said the Queen. "Well, since he seems to be doing well here, he may stay here. BUT, only for one month. After that, he must leave, or become one with the hive." Once hearing this, Terminal's ears perked up and he turned his head to the Queen. "So there you have it. One month Terminal. One month." She turned around, and walked out the door.

"Well that's just great. Only one month to recover and then it's leave or change my race to changeling."

"I'm surprised you know what that means."

"Oh so I can't know what it means? Last time I checked I had amnesia not brain loss."

"No. It's good that you know what it means. I meant that not many ponies know what that means, so it's surprising that you know." She had been right. During her vacations to the hive, she had overheard several ponies in the same situations not know what it meant. "I'm not kidding so drop that look on your face."

"Alright. What is it with you abusing your psychic abilities on me?" he asked. "I'm really tired of you doing that. It's really annoying and ridiculous."

It started getting late, or at least he thought it was. It was impossible to tell since barely any light came into the hive. He had guessed because he was getting tired. He wasn't able to go out of the hive very effectively since he had trouble on his hooves, and his wings broke during the attack. His only hope, was to walk around to recover his strength in his legs after several hours of being unconscious. He was tired though, so he walked over to a surface that was good for him, and collapsed on it.

Author's Note

This was an odd experience for me to plan out. The problem was with myself focusing on the ending of this fanfic over and over again. I'm not saying anything OK because, well, you know, spoilers.
