I felt like I was floating on big fluffy clouds, then I looked down and realized that was exactly what I was floating on. I was confused because only pegasus ponies could stand on clouds. They felt soft, like straight out of the dryer robes that were still warm soft. I walked around for a bit to see if there was anything else to be seen, but there was nothing. Just clouds for miles to be seen all around me. Suddenly a voice called out, it sounded familiar. It made me feel warm inside, and safe. It sounded like,

"Mom?"

"Yes sweety, it's me." She drifted down with snow white angel wings and softly landed next to me. She had light blue hair that was pulled into a bun with just a few hairs loose and tucked behind her ear. Her fur was a soft purple and her eyes were the same gold color as mine. She had on a white satin dress with ruby accents on it. I was speechless, I hadn't seen my mother in 20 long years and here she was right in front I immediately burst into tears of joy.

"Mom! I've missed you so much there's so much I want to tell you!" I moved forward to give her the biggest hug I could muster, but then she phased right through me. I didn't understand, she was right there how could I not touch her! She didn't even react to my advance, she simply turned to face me and upon doing so she touched my face even though I couldn't feel it, I held her hand there.

"Basswave, I've looked upon your life growing up without me and I am very proud to have gave birth to such a handsome young man, but I'm afraid this is not the end of your story. There is so much for you to see and so much for you to do I just simply couldn't keep you here for my own selfish reasons. As soon as I leave here, you will be transported back into your body to fulfill your destiny that awaits you. I love you my son, goodbye." She started to fly off, and as she did I raced after her now fully crying out of great despair now.

"No, please mom don't leave me here. I want to come with you! Please mother don't leave me again!" The clouds opened up and she flew through as they closed once again. "MOOOOOM!" Just like that, she was gone. Leaving me in my own grief to wallow in. Suddenly there was a sensation of falling. I looked down and found that I was heading towards a clearing in the everfree forest. I saw my body laying there motionless and braced myself for the worst.

___________________________

I woke up in the center of a clearing where corpses of changelings were laying all strewn about. Some were in twisted positions with their limbs in directions the weren't supposed to be in, bones sticking out with black blood spattered all along the ground. One changeling was impaled upon a tree, the tip of it poking through the sternum, as well as his intestines falling out of his stomach. I threw up at the sight and smell of all the death around me. I wiped my mouth afterwards and got up and surveyed myself. I checked my arms and legs then realized there was a sharp pain inside my chest. I checked my ribs with my magic and found that three of my ribs were fractured and one was cleanly broken.

This is gonna suck.

I thought. I took a deep breath and used my magic to mend them together. I cried out and fell to my knees as soon as I tried. As my bone structure was being put back together it made very sickening cracking and popping noises that felt like somebody stabbed me with a white hot knife.

When I got done I got up and assessed my newly mended ribs.

Still a bit bruised but nothing but a little time can't fix.

I moved on towards the end of the clearing when I saw her. Chrysalis did not look okay to say the least. She had gashes and scrapes all over her body. Her leg was pointing in a sickening way that clearly showed that it was dislocated. Blood was flowing out of her like a river and she looked very pale. She looked at me, barely conscious, and reached out her hand towards me.

"Please. Help. Me."Her arm fell by her side and she lay motionless, breathing, but motionless. I started to walk away, disgusted that she would even ask for help after what she pulled back there, but I stopped. I looked at her motionless body, so broken, so frail. For some reason I felt as if I should help her, like I should protect her. So I did one of the stupidest thing anypony could do at this moment. I walked over to her and gently lifted her from her position. She gave a screech of outrage when her leg moved out of it's position. I got her into the middle of the field and laid her down so I could work on her. She looked terrible. The gashes were still oozing her blackened blood, the bone looked like it broke cleanly but some of it had torn out of her calf muscle to the exposing air. I looked around for anything that could help me.

Come on there's gotta be something around here.

Then I spotted some branches on a tree that looked sturdy enough to hold her weight. I ran over and tugged on them till they snapped. Once they were separated I ran back and laid them down next to her.

I shook her shoulder just a little bit so that I could get her awake. Her eyes fluttered open and she focused them on me, she was very pale and couldn't hardly talk, but what I could make out was something along the lines of this.

"Thank you. You won't regret this." She said tears rolling down her face.

"Hopefully not." I said playfully trying to lighten the mood. "Now look Chrysalis, I'm gonna have to push the bone back into your leg. Now fair warning this is gonna hurt like a bitch." I took off my shirt and ripped it into strips to use as binding. "Alright you ready? on the count of three. One-" Then I pushed as hard as I could to get the bone back in. She let out an ear-splitting scream that could have been heard from a three mile radius. Blood squirted onto my hand as it went back inside the calf. When it was inside I used my magic to realign the bones back together so they can heal properly. The grinding bones and smell of fresh blood gave me another excited feeling, but I had to push it aside so that I could focus. Once the bones were put back together, I pressed the branches against her leg and wrapped the makeshift splint with the strips from my shirt. Once that was done I helped her up, she was on the brink of fainting when I did.

"Your coming to my place, it shouldn't be too far. You'll be safe there until your leg is better." I could see the castle in the distance so I started walking in that direction.

Hopefully I'll get there before it gets dark.

And with that I started my long trek to my place.

___________________________

I had been walking for almost an hour and I had to take a rest, so I propped Chrysalis up on a nearby tree so I could sit down for a little bit. My rest didn't last very long because I heard rustling in the bushes to my right. I quickly stood up and looked in the direction of the bushes getting more excited even more than before.

No Basswave, you have to stay cool. It might not be that bad. It could just be a bunny. It could be-

Then they jumped out of the bushes right in front of me to see. It was a pack of timber wolves who looked very hungry for some pony meat.

No, not timber wolves. Anything but timber wolves. I fucking hate timber wolves. I ran from- They killed-........They must die

One jumped at me and I simply grabbed by its throat, then proceeded to squeeze it. It started to whine for air, but I didn't care, they had to die for what they did. The timber wolf's neck eventually caved in and exploded, splattering blood all over the ground and me. The warm sensation of it dripping down my face unleashed all the excitement that I was holding back into one giant emotion. Revenge. I threw the timber wolf's corpse down and licked the rest of the blood off of my hand, the metallic taste ever so amazing. The next one went for me and I grabbed it by the torso and threw it on the ground on its back snapping its spine. Then I jabbed my hand into its chest and grabbed its heart then ripped it out. The last timber wolf started backing up as it saw its fallen comrades dead on the ground. I turned to him, half my body crimson and dripping with blood and a heart in my hand, walked to him.

"What's wrong buddy? Are you scared? Well guess what, that only excites me more." I took a bite of the heart and threw it behind me, then quickly snapped the timber wolf's neck. I looked at my masterpiece, finally content that I had my revenge. I threw my head into the air and laughed maniacally, then immediately felt very light headed. I looked at Chrysalis and saw she had passed out. My senses finally came back as I saw her there.

Oh shit.

I ran over and picked her up bridal style and sprinted the rest of the way to my house. When I got there I pounded on my door until Vinyl answered.

"What do you want- Holy shit!" Vinyl exclaimed as she saw the wounded changeling queen in my arms, the crimson blood mess that I was, and the tears streaming down my face.

"Please help her." I handed her off and leaned over and kissed her on the lips. When I straitened back up I collapsed onto the ground, back into the darkness that is my soul.

Author's Note

So this chapter has actually been the most goriest chapter I have ever made. Sorry if you don't like this kind of stuff but if you read the description it did say that there would be gore. So I guess if you have read all this way you probably have already guessed that I like all the grimdarks of MLP, and there will be more of the gore but that was a little tiresome so not for a couple chapters I would say. Next chapter you can expect to see more of Basswave and Chrysalis bonding and the beginning of something beautiful, but will his friends approve of his actions. Let's find out next time! See ya later!
