The End of Chrysalis' Reign: Book One

TARDIS hours ago. Oh dear Doctor. You let her go into the world alone. You are a total idiot! I just hope she comes back soon.” - Doctor Whooves

I had been crying for a few hours. I can’t believe I actually murdered somepony! How could I have done that to the poor colt? I felt horrible, so I was given time to take a break from the tests. The Elder Council swore that I wasn’t allowed to take breaks, but Snowdrop said otherwise.

Thankfully, she had come in to save me from the horrors that I was facing. I was still upset that it wasn’t the Doctor, but at least somepony was there to comfort me. She was there as soon as I broke down into tears.

I began to cry, realizing what I had done. The maniacal laughter returned, and I knew that it was coming from within the room that the Elder Council observed me from. There was a pounding at the door, and when it opened, Snowdrop rushed to my side.

“Derpy are you al--” she looked at the pool of blood and the dead body near it.

“You monsters! She isn’t even three-fourths of the way through her initiation and you have her kill somepony already?! How could you?” The laughter died down and a masculine voice came from above.

“Oh please Snowdrop. She’s weak. We know it, and so do you. Stop pitying her and leave her be. By the time that we’re done with her, she won’t even know what emotions are.” Snowdrop’s jaw dropped slightly and she started to yell at the ponies above us. I couldn’t make out exactly what she was saying, because there were many voices talking at once.

Finally, Snowdrop said that I was to have a break until I felt ready to return. And when I did, she’d be in charge of the initiation process. The others began to protest at this statement, when Snowdrop finally said, “I am the temporary leader until Derpy is fully initiated! You all know that! So don’t go questioning my authority!”

There were murmurs of disappointment and disapproval. Then, they all agreed that I was to be given a break until ready and that Snowdrop would be in charge of the initiation.

“I never did thank you back there.” She looked at me puzzled then said, “Oh it’s nothing really. I just decided to check up on you, when I heard your sorrowful cries. It turned something inside of me, making me feel like you needed somepony to be there for you.” I smiled a little and put my head down on the ground.

“You’re really kind Snowdrop. Thank you.” She smiled and said, “No problem. I ensure you that when you are ready, the initiation process will be easier. Especially with me in charge.” I nodded and began to doze off. I was extremely tired from the beginning part of the initiation. Snowdrop noticed this and gave me a blanket to keep me warm.

As I finally nodded off, I remembered what Equestria was like before all of this happened. Before Chrysalis took over. Before Celestia and Luna died.
