The Crystal Heart is No Match Now

Garnet Crest (Pegasus) paced impatiently outside of the door in which his beautiful wife was giving birth to his first foal. His hooves were bitten into, slowly chipping away. His trotting making a rhythm in the empty hallway. No business at the Crystal empire hospital at night time.

After about 8 hours of his eagerness to see his new son, a Crystal nurse came to inform him of how the birth went. " Sir, I am happy to inform you that you made a lovely new male unicorn addition to your family! But..." The nurse paused awkwardly for half a minute. "Well?" Garnet said with worry, nervous to hear what might be wrong with his foal. "He has... a very peculiar shape of horn and a tint of red at the top. Y-you should probably come and see him for yourself..." Garnet hurried himself to the birth wing and into his wife's room.

Topaz (Unicorn) looked very exhausted when her husband came into the room, hair and eyes wrinkled from the birth, she slowly turned her head to smile weakly at him. The doctor, at hearing his arrival, picked up the baby and brought him to the couple, now beside one another. "Mr. Crest I presume?" The Dr. smiled to them."Yes. I-is my baby alright?" The couple waited anxiously for the Dr.'s info. on their foal. He simply levitated the baby into the arms of the parents. They slightly widened their eyes at the features of their son."Sombra."They whispered in unison. By that time the Dr. had left the room so there were no comments but, if he had been their he would have cocked his head to the side and and raised an eyebrow at the unusual choice of name. At that moment in time Sombra chose to wake up, then suck on his hoof. His parents chuckled at the cute gesture.

Queen Thorax shrieked at the top of her lungs in pain from her filly's sudden overly powerful buck to her stomach. Her water then suddenly broke and a nearby changeling caught her upon seeing her collapse in pain. She was rushed to the Changeling Empire hospital to get the baby delivered, without the queen killed in the process of course.

After 7 grueling hours, Thorax finally delivered her filly. She was cleaned up with special changeling soap and hoofed to her mother. She slowly managed a small genuine smile for her. "Tomorrow," Thorax thought to herself."I will announce my baby's name and host her coronation as the new princess and heir to my throne." She giggled with her familiar hint of evil oozing from it. The changelings on the other side of the room clapped and cheered for their glorious queen.

[Next Day, 4 hours till Coronation] Thorax watched as her daughter was dressed in the finest silk known to changelings. Very observant of what was put on her, and expected everything on this day to go especially well, this day was one of utmost importance. After was seemed like FOREVER,(for Thorax) her filly was in a tiny, silk, beaded, and cute dress that flowed like a wave, an inch  below her. In the meanwhile, Thorax wanted the filly to take her first steps soon to show her the ropes of changeling hunting. And she already decided a name! "Princess Chrysalis, is that not the most wonderful name for my little changeling!" Thorax thought triumphetly, then doing rd's "you're so awesome!" face.

         [Now 10 minutes 'till Coronation] Queen Thorax in a special, green, sort of vest, sort of dress (think of Chrysalis's future thingy wrapped around her stomach and back except with a fancy skirt) hurried to the palace alley to Chrysalis's coronation. Jumping off the platform and gliding in through the archway of where the balcony was. The Royal Ceremony Room of the empire was laden with gifts of all shapes and sizes, the tiny black crown with little green beads on the top of their tiny sticks, was sitting on the velvet reddish-brown cushion with golden embroidery under the ceremonial arch where Chrysalis was going to be crowned as the new princess of the Changeling Empire. The queen took the remaining time to view the room. On the left side was the gift table, a black tablecloth on it and a buffet of changeling  delicacies beside it! (Besides love of course!)Even a pony, strapped onto the wall, who was scared out of his whits! Oh, she was being fed by his fear already!(the second best delicacy)On the right side of the room was a  large door decorated in dead roses and a large real changeling skull and wings crossed behind it, to "The Arena". Everyone would rather not speak of the brutal things that would happen if a changeling were to ever become a traitor to the queen (or other important figures in the empire)but especially the royal bloodline. At the back basically just stood a pair of masculine changeling guards at the entrance to the room, and a giant chandelier with the classic changeling swiss cheese style.(This also applies to the walls,floor, and ceiling.)

[Time For Coronation]Just then, Thorax heard the royal trumpets sound that the coronation was starting soon, so she broke out of her trance and raced to her spot on the mini-stage near the balcony to present Chrysalis to the Empire. A few minutes later there were changelings flooding in through the door to get into the seats closest to the mini-stage to enjoy this momentous occasion. The changeling who gives the crown to the queen (or king *wink**wink*) came to his place on the stage and said a long speech. After that was done The queen brought Chrysalis to be crowned Princess of the Changeling Empire."I hereby decree that this filly is the now and forever will be, until her precious mother passes, the new princess of this empire!" He placed the precious crown gently onto the confused baby and placed her in the secure hooves of Thorax. She walked to the balcony railing, and holding up Chrysalis, like the monkey in Lion King, presented her."I announce my beautiful daughter, Princess Chrysalis of the powerful Changeling Empire!" At that moment everyone in the empire clapped and cheered with the happiness of the youth's step up in the social ladder.
