The Crystal Heart is No Match Now

[1 year later]The time Sombra had spent with his parents had been wonderful. A year of fun was met with their remaining year together. Sombra was dressed in a casual white polo shirt with  a red tie and just left his mane the way it was. He smiled as he recalled everything that had happened that year. He visited the royal aquarium, made a few friends, made an enemy of some prissy visiting griffin, and met the royal families daughter. He then heard his father call for him to quickly eat breakfast, he raced downstairs to the grand dinner table and took in the scent of waffles,pancakes,perfect strawberries, and fresh chocolate chip cookies, each delicious scent of breakfast tackled his snout gently.

Sombra wolfed down a hoofull of each,raced back upstairs to brush his teeth,repacked all that, put Rascal in his pocket, and picked up his suitcase. Most importantly he had packed a framed picture of him and his parents after he was born. He liked how each of them weren't just looking at the camera but him.Their son.His parents. Sombra had to be  accepted into Diablo's Lair Prep in secret because many ponies would have given him mean looks, as his parents had put it. The giant solid ruby chariot that was supposed to take him to D.L.P. trumpets sounded to pick up the students that were located in this part of the Crystal Empire but they were quiet, so as not to attract "unwanted attention".

He teleported in front of his house where his parents were to give him his farewell hug. He trotted over to where they were and stood in front of them both."Mom, Dad. I loved spending time with you but now I must go. I will see you again in 10 years, maybe longer if they ask me to, but I hope they don't because I will be spending every second missing you guys. Thanks for being there for me for these 5 years. I will treasure them forever in my heart and make sure to write you everyday I can." And then he hugged them closely, he felt to the tears of his parents tickle his ears. He turned around, hopped into the chariot,and waved goodbye to his parents from the window of it. The stallions took off so quickly he could now see the entire empire but what stood out the most was his mother's now crying figure from his view in the sky.

[Chrysalis] Chrysalis awoke with a start, hair all over her face some in her mouth. There was a loud banging at her door."What!?"She levitated her giant packing box to then be thrown at the door, which almost hit her maid in the face. Lovelust just stood their with her mouth agape at what just happened.(Just so you guys know my female changelings have hair, however you imagine them is fine!)"Umm... Chrissy you have 4 hours left until the D.L.P. chariot arrives to pick you up and wist you off to Neverland."Chrysalis smiled sheepishly and laughed at her joke. Lovelust smiled and turned around to pick up Chrysalis's box."There you go Chrissy. Go eat breakfast in the dining hall while I pack everything up for you. I heard your mom prepared it this time, you know she makes a mean Liquid Fear soup!" Chrysalis just stared at her like she was crazy."But my mom never cooks anything for anyone." "Oh that's because she wants you to have the perfect nutrition to start off your day so you can learn more spells quickly.Now hurry along you need to get ready quickly!" Chrysalis teleported in a mist of green into the dining hall.

She grabbed her bowl of soup and gulped it down (regally)very quickly. She paused to take in the wonderful taste of her mom's cooking, it tasted like pumpkin, except sweeter with a hint of peppermint, and  oregano. Even if this all sounded weird basically all she knew was that this was exotic and is just plain delicious. After eating up her last breakfast at home for the next decade, she brushed her teeth, tied her dark neon-green mane into a ponytail draping over the side.(oh the wonderful puns!) She then went to her window, opened it up and jumped out.

She glided out the ten story place towards the front of the castle. THIS was the perfect view of the entire empire, but without the bustling and hustling in the usual parts of the empire, like the shopping district, there was no one there but in the area where she was headed straight for. Sometimes being a princess was very annoying, having everyone at your beck and call was nice and all for Chrysalis, but she wanted her last moment with her mom for awhile to be special. It took her awhile to see where her mother was in the large crowd but she finally saw her. She finished off her casual glide with burst of speed towards Thorax. At this time every changeling turned to look and point out the obvious for everyone. Chrysalis made her way to her mom and gave her a deep, meaningful last hug. A few nobles and allies had come to see her off and give her farewell gifts. Two special ones being from Lovelust and Demosa, at one point during their past year they decided to all take a picture together for her to remember them by. It had a solid limestone frame with the words "We all have our favourite magics but ours together is the dark and friendship." They all had a group hug and then she turned around at hearing the D.L.P. trumpets. She trotted over to the giant chariot and hopped in. She took the time to wave to her empire and then gave a glare to anyone who thought that was strange or whatever.
