Chapter 1 - A Changeling Life (Part 1)
Author's Note
Rate, comment, critique, if you wish, enjoy! If you wish to continue reading some of my mumbling, then do so, otherwise you can skip down to the story.
This chapter is also going to be split into two so as to make reading a chapter a bit easier. Small spoiler ahead, hover if you wish. I left it off where I did because I am still developing the dialog between the two Queens and their past dealings. Especially with a bit of gore and emotional trauma that has set them the way they are, especially Queen Sozo. Though I feel like I have not fully given her the identity I want yet. I am going to be doing this in the next part.
Any time a chapter contains gore or such explicit topics that could possibly trigger an emotional state, I will label it in the Author notes or directly in the chapter; in example - Chapter ??? - (Trig.Rape, Gore, etc.) Whichever it may contain. Although I feel the Tags should incline reader(s) to understand that it is going to pop-in at some point.
This Chapter jumps around a bit... but I made sure that it would be easy to follow-ish? If something you're reading here does not make sense, then by all means... point it out, or maybe I just did a poor job at writing it so it was pretty much in-decipherable. XD
Either way I hope you enjoy the journey. ^_^
Chapter 1 - A Changeling Life (Part 1)
The buzz of the hive could be heard for miles, the thrum of everyone working in tangent with one another. Orders being made, suggestions, idle banter mixed in with the schools. This was what every changeling in the Western Hive experienced. It was just the way of life, Changelings could come and go as they pleased to the hive mind. Normally this was frowned upon by other Hives as it was thought to be to much of a security risk. Although the Queen of the Western Hive thought of that a lot, she could not help but feel the wonderful love that flowed amongst her subjects so freely. Thoughts and ideas would crash into one another at times... and instead of being lost, would just create more ideas and suggestions... to her it was the most beautiful means of creation she could bear witness to at times. Often those ideas lead to the creation of something tiny and wondrous, a spark of life. Some may call her a pervert or creep if they knew she watched them do their courting and mating, although she tended to avoid the ladder when possible... but everyone has needs. Plus she felt it was perfectly fine to do so, after-all, if she wanted to mate there was no way that NO ling would NOT know about it. One of those luxuries of privacy you give up when you become Queen.
Queen Sozo sighed deeply to herself. Her thoughts were tired with worry as she browsed the hive mind for the thousandth time. She mumbled to herself gently as she thought aloud, a voice filled with a rough silken tone. "Hmm... What such beauty I see every day... and yet, none of it seems to compare to you.. my child. I can't help but wonder what kind of Ling you will be... or become." With another sigh the Queen's hoof ran across her swollen belly gently as she lightly laughed to herself.
"I do hope you'll be a loving and kind Ling... we all know we could use more of those in life... so many hate their lives. Pony and Ling alike. I pray that you will do all you can to find love in yours, after-all, we need love, my little daughter." Queen Sozo sat in her throne, seemingly alone, blushing, talking and humming to her unborn child. Had one not known she was pregnant they would think her crazy for talking to what seemed like herself.
The throne room stood with a thirty foot high ceiling, the width being sixty feet and length extending to over two-hundred feet. It stood crafted out of enchanted obsidian and white marble pillars. They were all crafted with the representation of former Hive Queens that had moved on. Yet, to the untrained eye of anyone visiting or seeking an audience with her Majesty there were three hidden pathways on each side of the throne. With two more behind the throne as well as two servant entrances, one on each side of the throne. These hidden compartments always had troops stationed inside them with a minimal of ten to a maximum of thirty Changeling Guards per nook, as they were commonly called.
Ascending to the throne, there sat with velvet cushions that were a beautiful royal purple with a black iron wood throne adorned with gold and silver trim that seemed to interlace at the edges of it. The backing of the throne stood around ten feet with a broken changeling horn engraved into the backing with a silver outline. There was enough room for the Queen to lay sprawled out comfortably in her seat.
A voice calls out from the darkness in the throne room. "My Queen, the Ambassador from the Northern Hive has arrived, your orders?"
Sozo looked up from her belly with a dream like state that seemed to shift back to reality as she responded calmly, yet motherly. "Oh, they are quite early... I was not expecting them for another day or two, at least... well, ensure they are comfortable Captain. I shall hold court with them after I return."
"Understood my Queen." The Captain replied and the sounds of hoof steps left the room followed by the sound of a large ornately designed double brass door closing upon his exit.
Queen Sozo gently removed herself from her throne and began walking out the right servant's entrance, slightly grumbling. "Ugh, even though I love you daughter... I truly wish you'd stop kicking my bladder..."
Queen Sozo sat in her throne, head forward, yet looking down on the Ambassador as he gave her the monotonous greeting of bowing. "Thank you for seeing me Queen Sozo, apologies for appearing before our scheduled time."
Sozo was all to bored with politics, she often wore a facade when dealing with any foreign or local dignitaries, in anger or joy. "It is quite alright, usually best to be early than late one would say, correct?" In truth, Sozo was feeling a bit mischievous with having her day of rest interrupted by an early arrival of business. She could easily just hold court tomorrow but then she'd have more business to attend to. Although having some fun from her daily routine seemed a bit more appealing with the prankster that she is.
"Of course your excellence."
"Now, onto the main order of business."
"Yes your highness. My Queen, Tempist Shadow, wished to discuss the next terms of the peace treaty in person, but sends her regards. She has bestowed to me this scroll with her requests and hopes you find them acceptable." The Ambassador brought out the document with his hooves and displayed it to Queen Sozo.
The parchment displayed in both hooves and his head cast to the side and down, a display of complete trust and non-aggression. Sozo was not always one for sticking to scripts in politics, unless she was dealing with outsiders or another hive. She also enjoyed seeing them be slightly scared or uncomfortable as they would have to sit there, awaiting her acceptance of whatever the bearer wanted to offer. Though, her and Queen Tempist often used these such obligations to, almost to a degree, torture the poor ling that was chosen to bear these contracts between their nations. With being siblings they felt they could be more personal with one another after all. So, she did what was fun to her in this instance, she waited, with a smile beneath her calm exterior, not saying a word.
Five minutes later...
I wonder, how long can he hold that position... it is very difficult to do with just two hooves planted... gah, I really should be nicer to the ambassadors she sends me, but I just can't help but watch them squirm for some reason. I guess this is the highlight of my day? Well, I don't have any other audiences this day... I could just sit here and eat some pie.. or cake? MMmmm... wait, why am I trying to chose which one I want? I can have both! Sozo cleared her throat gently with a couple soft, 'erhrms', and waited for the request to make it.
"My Queen, what do you require?" A gentle mare voice chimed in as a Changeling appeared almost out of thin air to her left. Her mane a mixture of blue with a single pink stripe, her tail matching, eyes were a gentle blue as most changelings were.
Chime, oh she always likes accenting herself, to look different... I quite like that. "A slice of marble cake and a whole apple pie with a large glass of milk, cooled, and please be sure the pie is warm..." Sozo brought her right hoof up to her chin in thought. "That should be fine... and thank you Chime Hoof."
"Understood, I shall get these right away my Queen." The mare stated with a slight blush from being acknowledged by her Queen as she quickly bowed and departed.
You know... I wonder if this Ambassador can hold that stance for a whole day... hmmm, but then that means I cannot leave this throne... I suppose after I have my fun here I'll just read the letter and agree, then to sleep! Sozo thought this all while keeping her well-trained mask up, not once letting her tone give any hint of how this humored her.
Forty-five Minutes later Queen Sozo sat proudly as always on her throne, only now with a slightly larger belly from her improve supper. Normally her actions of eating solids while in court could be seen as a lack of interest and lead to possible wars between two hives. This thought though was from from her mind as she sipped her milk with as much lady-like effort she could muster. She slowly raised her hoof that gestured for the parchment. At this, three Changelings came into view from behind the pillars to the left side of her throne. Two guard lings and one servant ling came forth. The servant ling calmly and respectfully took the parchment from the Ambassador's upturned hooves, who he noticed was trembling slightly from his continued stance. As the letter left his hooves he almost fell on his face from holding the position for so long, but had enough grace to make it look as if he had deepened his bow.
After the parchment reached her hooves she opened it with an almost complete disregard for etiquette and began reading.
To Queen Sozo,
my lovely and probably cruel Sister, oh, wait... that's me!
How have you been? I hear you are with child once more, I am glad. After I heard about your last daughter going off on her own and... well, we'll save that for another time I suppose? I know how you enjoy getting down to business, right?
Peace Treaty Between Queen Sozo and Queen Tempist Shadow
1.) Lets not fight one another?
2.) Dinner, I know of a great little restaurant in Equestria. It is always filled with customers swooning over one-another. *wink-wink* Also, they have such great pasta, oh, and they serve meat! *Insert my drooling face here... chickeen...*
IF THESE ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE
Well, I'll just come and drag you there then. Hope to hear from you soon little sis!
Oh, I almost forgot to list the date for our dinner and where... 03-18-900 at 5:00 P.M. in Manehattan at 1133 Crossing Roads, I'll save the name for later... Kekeke!
Queen of the North and all those below - Queen Tempist Shadow
P.S. Do you still have my dress? You know which one, right? I think... ugh! I'll just talk about it when I see you.
Sozo looked up from the parchment to the Ambassador that was all to happy with four hooves on the floor. "Tell Queen Tempist that her terms are agreeable, you are dismissed." With that, court was over and the Ambassador left with a slight limp in his gate and a relieved expression on his face.
"Captain, please prepare Cognito squad for my departure to the following address and date." As the Queen levitated the paper to her Captain she used her magic to wisp away any and all text except for the dinner location and date.
"Yes, right away my Queen." With a quick salute he left just as quick as he came.
"Well, looks like we get to visit your auntie little one! Oh, what fun this shall be." Sozo smiled happily to herself as she exited the throne room and walked the long corridors to her royal bed chamber. It was late and she needed sleep, so unless it was an emergency she was not going to be deterred from her bed.
The door to her chambers was like most early architecture from the Changeling's tribal periods. It stood roughly eight feet high and eight feet wide, a partial circle made from a special detritus that was bound by a special gland in their mouths. This substance is as hard as stone once it sets, yet while wet it is malleable.
Without turning on any lights she made her way to her bed, propped her fore-hooves up and did the best she could to shimmy into the over-sized bed. "Ugh, remind me why I made this thing so high..." She grumbled out as she skidded herself into the bed. As she positioned herself more comfortably, ready for sleep, she did one more sweep of the hive mind. Getting snagged on some foals having trouble sleeping. She gently touched their minds to ease them back to peaceful slumber, as she did for every one of her lings when possible. After-all, if the hive slept well so did the Queen... although, if the Queen didn't... the hive did not.
A whole month away, I hope you can hold out a bit longer little one, at least until after we have dinner with your Auntie. With that, she drifted into sleep with a giddiness for her sisterly reunion.
The room was dimly lit, floors were carpeted in a royal red with a silver outline. On the walls hung elegant tapestries depicting her majesties great rule, Queen Sozo. Behind the depictions, the walls were a stone grey, cold and uninviting. Although contrary to belief, the room was very much alive with bickering nobles, politicians and militants. In the center of the room was a horseshoe shaped table, made of rare tree called blood-wood. The table was essentially bare, only rounded edges and a chitin smooth finish and polish allowing the grains to show through in what looked like blue veins with the tinge of red surrounding them. The creator of this table felt that anything added to it would take away from the simple beauty of it's nature.
At the head of the table sat Queen Sozo, silently listening to her subjects... bicker about tedious decrees and laws, all while she casually sipped on her coffee. Though the day seemed to drag on for her royal majesty. With each and every noble pestering her about such little issues, all of them bickering in the council hall that 'she' had set up. She found having a council helped greatly, even if it were slow at bringing forth a verdict at times. She could easily of erased it away but, she enjoyed the new ideas that came forth from it. Alas her subjects had grown fond of the idea as well. Although, today was just painstakingly dreadful for her, cramps and stress over the last ten to eleven months had been building up. She was so happy though that tomorrow she would not be in the hive for at least a day, far away from the nobles and their pestering. She would of kept on with her day-dreaming of older days where she had no need or concerns for the others around her. Unfortunately she would not get that as her military adviser seemed hard up on revisiting a decree she placed over a hundred years ago.
"We should revisit the mandatory Called-To-Arms Act." Said a gravelly voice, belonging to a Male-ling who wore full-plate that shimmered silver with intricate decorations of the moon eclipsing the sun with a large Changeling eye in the center. His features bore a scar that ran from the center of his chest over his left shoulder and to his missing left wing. He had one fang and a face that only a mother could love, as some would say. The attitude he brought with him told the story that he was a no-nonsense ling and liked to have things in order.
A sing-song voice came from another of the Changelings sitting at the table. "Oh? And what reason would you have to revisit the CTAA for? A new budget I suppose, a raise?" The mare's reply getting an angry reply and more bickering between as they attempted to hash out the new law. Sozo was really not listening anymore after hearing about the revisiting of the law she decreed. After-all, no changeling was going to go against what she had issued. It just wasn't in them, she knew this and always played it to her advantage. At least that was how it always went when it was concerning ideas of defending the hive, although she preferred to call it a city.
"My Queen, please tell us what you think!"
The voice snapped her from her idle thoughts. "Hmm, oh, I'm terribly sorry... I got lost somewhere between not giving a..." She stopped herself as she looked upon her shocked appearance of her subjects for a split second. "full report of what you wished to visit of in my royal decree." She smiled while she wreathed of anger. Today was not the day she wanted to visit the council halls, not on the day she was to make her way to visit her sister in Manehattan.
"Your highness." Came the gravely voice of her General. "I wish to merely extend the time of their service from four years to five, I feel that the hive would benefit greatly from this." General Letter stated in an assertive yet calm voice.
"And the argument against?"
"My Queen, five years would be far to much. Four years supplements our defenses perfectly already. Doing this would require all your subjects to serve another year unless we re-write the decree you issued. Which does require your authority to do so, my Queen." Stated a chirpy changeling, his voice was a bit nerving on her ears.
"Very well, re-write the law and present it to me. We shall hold the discussion of the CTAA at next weeks meeting. If it is satisfactorily written... then I shall decree the new law. Objections?" Queen Sozo's head appeared to calmly peruse the table, as if giving that, 'don't you dare oppose me feeling. Once she reached the other side of the table not one of her subjects objected. "Very well, moving forward. Any new business... that requires my attention?" She stated sharply and in a cold tone, which is fairly rare for her to do.
Her subjects looked at one another then back at her majesty as the appointed speaker replied. "No your excellency, there are no other dealings that require your presence, my Queen."
"Good." Sozo gently rose and walked calmly out of the council chambers and straight to the restroom. Gah, I know I should not be drinking coffee but, ugh, if I didn't have that I'd probably want to strangle them!
If her majesty would of stayed longer, she could have heard the gentle whispering of her subjects. "She is almost due, right? I mean... she does not act like this normally..." The whispers were no more as the door shut.
The carriage trudged on, in a steady pace as Sozo sat inside, alone with her unborn just watching the scenery gently flow by. As she hummed to her child she couldn't help but visit old memories of her old life.
My, how I have changed since then... the times sure are different. The things I did to survive... I will not have my daughter do. I, I... I wonder where my eldest is now? I have not heard from her for some time... thirty years? Has it really been thirty years since I last spoke to her?
The throne chamber was anything but silent, with a voice slicing through the walls. "Mother, I do not see why you show empathy to these lesser beings, these Ponies! They have done nothing for us but persecute us! Tartarus sakes they even burned us by the thousands at one point! And, and, you wish to just, what? LET IT GO, MOVE ON!?" Was the statement of an overly zealous Changeling Princess. Her appearance was that of grace and beauty, a perfect Ling in changeling society; her eyes a beautiful dark green, mane and tail flowed like the river in a beautiful teal, her saddle-plate was a unique teal fading to green.
Her double toned-voice she was using was clearly upsetting her mother though.
"First, daughter, silence your royal voice when you address me!" Sozo's own double-tone echoing through the halls, a far stronger version than what her daughter could recreate. Yet it was commanding and calming in all the same sense to her subjects, as well as an item of fear. Sozo stood firmly facing her boisterous daughter. Her body glistened in the light of the chandelier above them. Standing easily twice the size of the small Princess. Her eyes a shining yellow against her dark navy blue mane that flowed over her dark blue saddle plate that faded gently to a white before meeting her tail which matched her mane. Sozo's body was the perfect changeling ideal, taking a look at Sozo and her Daughter you wouldn't be able to tell them apart if it were not for their color schemes.
"Mother, you are going to try and broker peace and trade agreements with beings that regard us as, as demons! Why!? Why must we suffer more, to be seen as lesser or even, by the Elders, equal!? IS IT not they that should be serving us? After all the torment they have wrought to our kind!" The Princess' voice all to well laced with anger and pain as it's venom for the past injustices that had been done.
"Daughter of mine, listen closely to. What. I. Say." Sozo's tone had seemed to take a dark twist, one that had the sound of pain and suffering that it had long endured as she enunciated each word at the end as she narrowed her eyes at her daughter. "The pain and suffering you have gone through is not your weapon, but your shield. IF. You wield it as such, you shall only know that same suffering we had in the past. It is BEST to move forward and promote peace between Pony-kind and Changelings." Sozo reigned in her composure as she sat back down on her throne with watchful eyes on her daughter. "So long as I rule and you stay in. My. Hive. I shall not have any aggression towards the pony race. Secrecy is the way of our kind and it shall stay as such. If Changelings are known to pony kind it will just be that much harder to feed ourselves, best to stick to the shadows like the moon-mother said long ago."
"Well, then I see my choice is made for me. Mother." her voice full of emotion yet cold, and calculating.
Sozo's eyes widened at what next words were about to leave her Daughter's mouth. "Chrysalis, don't you dar-."
"I am leaving, Mother." A sound of almost utter remorse could be gently heard at her statement. It made it apparent that this was difficult for her.
"Chrysalis, no, you are not leaving, I will not have it!" A fluttering sense of horror at losing her daughter filled her thoughts. "You will stay, we can talk this out daughter."
"What is there to talk about mother? You wish to hide and rule from the shadows where I want the opposite. I can not stand in your shadow any longer!"
One last desperate plead to keep her daughter. "Chrysalis!" Was all that made it out as her daughter surrounded herself with her magic and vanished in an instant.
Sozo sat alone in her throne, with disbelief and shock on her face as she could only helplessly stare at the spot where her daughter was. Lost for words, she frantically scanned the Link for her daughter's presence, only to come up empty-hooved. She then made her way, trudging with a tired expression towards her chambers; where she locked her doors and collapsed on her bed, shaking and crying at the loss of her daughter. "Why..." Was her only weak sorrow filled reply to the dark.
"My Queen, we have arrived at Manehattan." Came an all-too-familiar voice of her guard. "Shall we commence referring to you as Lady Sozo, my Queen?"
Snapping herself out of her reminiscing of her mind she looked to her appointed Guard Captain. "Yes, we shall not want to gain too many strange looks if I am to be referred to as Queen, right?" Sozo smiled gently at her Captain with a measure of assurance that it was indeed okay to call her Lady instead of Queen for the moment.
"Of course my Lady." Was the respectful reply.
Queen Sozo then made sure her camouflage had been crafted properly, after all being pregnant made it difficult to keep a disguise from shifting or looking just all to suspicious. With the training and years of dedication to sticking to the shadows, she had made her shape-shifting abilities legendary amongst her kind. As the cart moved along down some twisting roadways and an alley here and there it finally came to rest outside her destination, Fior D' Italia.
As the light green mare stepped off the carriage and made her way to the entrance of the Fior D' Italia, some spectators couldn't help but gawk at the lovely lady as she entered, being escorted by four ponies. Her mane a lovely soft blue with a bright red stripe coming over her face and covering her yellow wolf like eyes and her stride evenly paced even though her belly bulged with another life-form. Every pony that stared at her couldn't help but think, 'damn, what lucky mare to be able to make pregnant look sexy.' Granted they didn't understand why they were full-on-staring anyways, less they knew about the pheromones a Queen Changeling emitted. As Sozo made her way to the registry she took note that she could sense her sister's Brood-lings at a few tables, blending in perfectly with their pony counterparts.
A smile graced her face as she came to the host of the establishment and was met with a warm smile of her host. "Good evening mam', your name?" Was an all well trained calm and caring voice, although his accent was thick with his Italian heritage. He stood as an average sized pony with a black combed back mane and tail that was braided, his face a solid grey with light blue eyes, wearing a typical gentle-colt's attire...

Sozo's smile was pleasant as she gave her name. "Lady Sozo.." Was her gentle and calm reply. As well as being this close she couldn't help but feel the essence the colt was dripping with. His clear devotion to his job was evident as well as a bit of joy and fear when he heard her name.
"Lady Sozo!" Was a cheery reply. "Yes, we have your table set and ready, if you would please follow me." He moved in a flowing manner as he grabbed a menu and made way down a center rug in the main dinner room. He was quick in his pace but never moving far enough away so as to lose his guest. A perfectly trained smile plastered on his face even though his energy seemed to become saturated with more nervousness and a slight hint of fear, but respect was there. He lead them to two double doors that were pass all the other guests view. The door a dark wood of some sort with ornate designs, he opened them and gestured, in a slight bow with a raised hoof pointing through the doorway.
"Your table is just beyond at the end of the hall, Lady Sozo. Forgive me for not being a proper host and leading you to your seat. I was informed not to proceed any further." He was racked with nerves now. Clearly he was not completely let in on what she was, just that she was some-pony important.
Sozo smiled to her host thus far. "Worry not, you are fine my dear. Thank you for escorting me." She stated in a benevolent tone. Then she was through the double doors taking long steps towards her destination. Anticipation to reunite with her sister was an overwhelming feeling mixed with joy. Her four guards followed behind her, one with a menu in mouth. Making one quick turn she came to a door that had two of her sister's brood standing guard outside. Her composure did not change as she proceeded towards them and they opened the door.
Entering the room Sozo was welcomed by a large Changeling Queen standing in front of the table, facing the door, clearly anticipating her entree. Standing slightly taller than Sozo she had bright red eyes with the famous dragon slit all queens were known for. Her mane and tail a dark orange with a saddle-plate that faded from red to orange. Her legs had what seemed like not enough holes for a Changeling, almost pony-like.
"Welcome dear sister!" Was an all too familiar voice in it's joyfully harsh tone. "So glad you could make it, I thought for a moment I was going to be dinning alone." Queen Tempist Shadow's tone dropped in enthusiasm and giving it that pouting hurt tone, and a look that did it's best to convey emotional pain.
"Yes, sorry sister, I was held in a meeting a bit longer than I had wanted." Stated Sozo in a compassionate pitch as Tempist seem to jump and cut off any attempt to continue an explanation.
"I don't see why you entertain the idea of a council, if it were not for us Queen's they wouldn't be around for it." Was the quip Tempist gave.
"I understand your views on it sister but lets not talk about how one runs 'their' hive, shall we?" With a raised brow and a slight indication of annoyance emitting from her voice.
"Ah, yes-yes! Sorry, I suppose I am still old fashioned? ... So, how is the little one?" Tempist stated as her sister made her way to the table, with an obvious waddle in her step, with her hind legs being pushed outwards.
"hmm... I suppose she is coming along fine, though she seems to have some pretty powerful legs! Ugh!"
"Yes, I suppose that would be the case, so she's going to be all legs like her dear little mother..." A predatory grin had formed on Tempist as they took their seats across from one another. She loved teasing her little sister and wanted to make up for lost time.
"Oh, I see, so this is why you really wished to have dinner with me around? I take it the drones you make are not enough of an intellectual satisfaction in their rebuttals... if they even do speak." A wry grin crossed Sozo's muzzle as she watched her sister... and laughter soon was heard from both. Though the laughter and words felt laced with satire.
"ooh, ha-ha-ha! Sister, how long I've been waiting to just hear your loving voice." Stated Tempist as she took her seat with a wry grin. "Though I thought you said you did not want to talk about how we run our 'Hives', Sister."
Sozo merely rolled her eyes at her. "Yeah, then what would we have to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know, how about when you are due and who the donor was? I am interested in that... as far as I know we haven't helped each other in that request." The quizzical reply came from Tempist, smiling all the more with her predatory fangs.
"Oh, well... uhm..." Sozo had lost a bit of composure as she fumbled for an answer, in truth she did not know how she became pregnant and this worried her. "Uhm... I, I-uh..."
"Come now, surely you know who the sire is. Or is it that you wish not to tell even your own blood!?" A pained look crossed Tempist's face as she held a foreleg to her chest.
"N-no! That is not true."
"Well, then who sired the child?"
Sozo's heart was racing at this moment. "Well, you see." She cast down her eyes. "I-I don't know who the sire is." Was the dead and all to quiet reply.
"Excuse me? What was that?" Commented Tempist as she leaned in to hear her sister. "I am not sure I heard that correctly."
With ears flattened Sozo spoke up with eyes squinting shut in shame. "I don't know!" She yelled.
Tempist withdrew herself back as she looked at Sozo with slight confusion.
"I am sorry Tempist, I-I didn't mean to shout. In truth this has been stressing me out a bit." Sozo brought her head up only to meet Tempist's wild grin which gave way to laughter shortly after. "Oh-oh! That is grand! You, you got bred by some Queen probably disguised as a-a-a!" Her laughter was so much she couldn't even finish speaking.
"What!? NO! I may be younger than you but I know how to detect another Queen sister!" The look of disgust and annoyance crossed her face in her retort. "Tch!"
"Oh-ho! Oh.... I am s-so sorry sis. My goodness, I thought I would have to poke and pry with pranks and words to get a laugh like this in tonight." Was the all to cheery reply between her laughter.
"Oh, so glad my sudden pregnancy problem can bring you such joy. Sister." Was the flat and stoic reply as she looked away, taking in more of the room.
First she noticed that the table they sat at was a solid Oak with intricate flower patterns around the edges with single poison joke flower engraved in the center. As she looked around she couldn't help but take notice of the somber decor. Curtains were a dark red with a dark golden outline and the carpets were a dark blue that all seemed blend in with the shade of light, being only a few lit candles around the room. Her seat was fairly comfortable shifting a bit she was able to get a better look at it. Standing with four legs and a solid oak frame that was brightly finished and a violet cushioned backing and seat, otherwise fairly plane. At this moment her sister's laughter had finally teetered out.
"So do you like what you see? I feel it makes it a bit more like home." A smile crossed Tempist's face as she stared at her sister's interest in their surroundings.
"It will do... and yes... it does have the whole homey-lair kind of air about it." Sozo brought her head back to her sister with a smile.
"Well, I am sure after such a long journey you would like to place your order. We can catch up more and share some old stories, what do you say?" Came from Tempist as she levitated the menu from her sister's brood and placed it in front of her.
"Yes, that sounds... wonderful." Sozo hesitated a bit with her reply as she used her magic to open the menu and scanned through it. "Hhmm, you were not lying when you said they served meat."
"Of course! Why would I eat somewhere that doesn't serve omnivores?" Was the puzzling response from Tempist.
"I think I will go with the Bistecca alla fiorentina with a creamy fettuccine. I have not had beef in so long!" She stated as her voice squeaked towards the end with giddiness.
"Oh-my, you sure are asking for a lot, huh? Lucky you have that kid in you... it'd go straight to your hips otherwise!" Tempist cackled as her sister began to retort.
"It's alright, I know you are jealous of my figure."
Tempist made a gesture with her hoof in a quick waving manner as if dismissing her sister's claims. "We both know you lack physical activities, besides being rutted." Her smirk returning at her sister's frustration. She turned her attention to one of her broods as she sent a message along and it quickly left without making a sound. "Our food will be here soon, so, why don't we play catch up on what happened these past ten years, hmm?"
Sozo visibly let herself relax as she thought. "Well, actually... I do have a piece of business I want to talk about... If you would."
"Alright, and what would this... business be, though I was hoping to avoid anything like that." Tempist's tone was slightly distraught by this piece of news. She knew it meant that they wouldn't be able to fully act as siblings with an issue on her sister's thoughts.
"It is more around... about my unborn." Keeping her self calm she breathed in and spoke evenly. The air that was filled with joyful laughter was now quiescent in emotions.
"Well, alright, though after this discussion let us go back to the night at hoof." Tempist was short and quick with her words, clearly want to hurry the matter along to return to a jolly night.
"Agreed." Breathing in, Sozo steeled herself for her request. "I was hoping you would, when she is of age, allow her to take residence in your territory under your supervision. This does not mean as an Under-Queen." Her eyes met her sister in a gentle yet firm match.
Tempist narrowed her eyes a bit while she thought.
"I do not need an answer now, I do suppose it is a bit of a request to make. Though if you'll hear my reason for such a request?" Sozo's mask had re-emerged it's self seamlessly.
"Entertain me." Taking note of her sister's change in behavior she decided that now would be best to take this as a true political endeavor.
"Her safety." Was all that left her mouth.
Tempist stared at her sister with an impassive gaze for a few moments, expecting to hear more. "Her safety? That is it?" Her words not betraying her annoyance at such a silly reason. "You'll have to elaborate as to why... she is not safe with you when she matures as well as not be able to live in your own territory." Her tone stayed even and matched as her siblings.
"I am truly only seeking that she has something as simple as an apartment in your area and be graced with safe passage in your territory. So long as she does not violate any and all agreements made here and with her in the near future. As long as they are fair." Sozo's expression and tone did not change once. Sounding a bit monotone in her lengthy reveal.
"That is nice Sozo, although I am not understanding why she cannot simply inherit some of your own territory to be safe. I hate to admit it but you do have an equal share in Equestria as I do. So, unless you tell me why... I am not going to accept it even if you push an absurd amount of empath-gems at me." Knowing how her sister operated to get her way was fairly obvious. All the trade agreements she had throughout Equestria and beyond had allowed her to collect a rather large amount of empath-gems which she used lucratively to persuade others to her notions.
Silence befell Sozo as she stared at her sister, eyes and posture unchanging in her pony form. Time seemed to elapse ever so slowly as the two stared intently, yet unwavering at one another. Finally Sozo broke the silence. "I need her to be away from me when she matures."
The silence finally being broke brought Tempist back to the issue as she was lost deep in thought. "Hmm... I really would like to know why, though I feel I may understand what you are attempting to state here, if I may?"
Sozo stared at her for another moment. "What would that be, Tempist?" Another impassive tone thrown into the surroundings.
Clearing her throat, Tempist then spoke. "If I am correct in my understanding, that is. You are looking for your daughter to be left in my care because you are going to do something foalish in ten or so years. You are not going to tell me what it is or if I can even help. I know you quite well Sozo, three-hundred years quite well. Though It pains me to know you wish to treat this as a Queen matter. I understand what you are claiming here and I can't milk those answers from you... So, what do you wish to offer me in return in protecting your spawn?" Her voice and face not once betraying her annoyance and hurt as she spoke, knowing her sister seemed to still distrust her and held her aloft.
Gentle breathing filled the air as the two stared at one another, letting the statement fall into place. "I offer some full empath-gems, from under Canterlot. On top of a small share of bits to make passage or bribery of those you need to, to keep her safe."
Tempist broke her eye contact with her family member, sending a signal to one of her drones. Returning her eyes back to her sister she spoke. "I... would like a number on how many empath-gems you are going to give me. As well as the amount of bits you are giving me to work with."
"Two gems a month that can support up to two-hundred lings each month, on a dual feeding regiment. The bits would be an initial ten-thousand as well as a thousand a month for your hive and it's endeavors. Then a small gem a month for my daughter and five-hundred bits for her place of stay." Sozo knew this was a clear outright loss on her side, giving so much resources was just her way of attempting to show she was willing to do anything. Granted, had it been with another Queen she would of offered far less. Then again, Tempist was family and on top of it all she is very powerful in the numbers she can command. Sozo slightly feared that, especially with what her sister liked to do with lesser Queens.
"I cannot accept that offer." Was a curt reply from Tempist, clearly catching Sozo off guard.
"What!? Why not?" Stated Sozo a bit louder than she had intended, clear shock written in it's word usage. Her eyes narrowed to her sister, thoughts of Tempist wanting more than that suddenly filled her mind and she knew that this could ruin her stance as a strong Queen.
"Simple Sozo, you offer me too much... It is unacceptable. If you want to do fair business... then I think one empath-gem with half the initial down payment. So that would be, for clarification; five-thousand bits, with five-hundred bits a month... plus the five-hundred for your daughter's place of rest. Then what your daughter and I agree on for her safe passage in my territory. She can learn some bartering skills that way." A smile finally broke Tempist's mask, clearly showing that she was ending the discussion on her side and would wait for Sozo to accept. "Oh, and don't ask why." Tempist's eyes sharpened as her lip slightly curled revealing her fangs.
While Sozo sat with what looked deep in thought she had the grace to break a smirk. "I suppose I have no other choice but to accept your rebuttal, Queen Tempist of the North." With that, the discussion was closed.
"Good! I grow weary of all this political banter. Now, let us dine and rejoice in reverence in our renewed peace treaty and celebrate like siblings... oh, and could you drop the disguise now sis?"
"Oh, of course, I totally forgot it was even still on." Sozo giggled as she released her magic over her shape-shifted form.
"I hope you don't mind the entertainment I obtained tonight, they were asked to do their best and enjoy it, after-all." A knowing smirk blossomed across Tempist's face as she glanced at her sister.
"Sister! Don't tell me you... you are having one of your..." With that her response was cut short as Tempist called out-loudly. "Oh entertainers!" Was an all to enthusiastic siren like call from Tempist.
From behind one of the many curtains came two earth ponies, blushing and reeking of arousal and lust. Standing before them were two mares who were nervously looking between the two Queens. As if on cue they both bowed and spoke in unison. "We hope you find us acceptable, your Highnesses."
A large round bed was hoisted and placed a few feet from the dinning table by Tempist's brood, the two mares taking this as their cue and crawl seductively onto the mattress. Their long flowing manes stretched over their necks ending at their chest. The first mare's mane was a light brown flowing over her light blue coat giving way to her emerald colored eyes with a tail that was braided up to make hiding herself all the more difficult. With the second mare slowly crawling over the first, her mane and tail flowing in the same manner except a dark brown against her pelt of coral pink. Taking the initiative the pink mare pressed her self against the blue mare, trapping her beneath her body as she began nipping at her neck and ears playfully.
With her growing arousal becoming aware, Tempist couldn't help but make an opulent remark. "So I see you are enjoying the... entertainment. Sister." The predatory smile returning to Tempist once more as she was paying more attention to her sister than her accumulated play-things.
Sozo merely nodded with her mouth slightly a-gape as she stared and took in the essence of the two mares. Their gentle grinding and joyful playing had her all abuzz mentally, she could feel herself stir and harden, though she cared not who would see it. As she watched the two mares gyrate their hips against each others hind legs, allowing a copious amount of their scent into the air and their fluids slowly running down their legs onto the bed. Being snapped from her senses as a large plate of food was now placed in front of her. With her thoughts returning a bit more, she stole her sight away from the two entwined mares, though their essences flowed endlessly around the two Queens. Hazarding to speak, her voice was quiet and meek sounding. "Sorry, I s-seemed to have forgotten... how... enjoyable? A live feed can be." She said with a gentle smile that quivered as he noticed her sister's own arousal in the feast.
"Oh, quite alright, dear sister... I am just more impressed that you seem to be even bigger than I remember." A purr-like growl emanated from Tempist's throat as she finished. "Please, now, let us enjoy the meal and talk of days of old and new? Shall we?"
The mares began to quietly moan as they began to reach a good rhythm between each other. As the two Changeling Queens began to dine on their meals and bask in the glow of the luscious mares. Nipping at the blue mares neck the pink mare whispered with a slight commanding tone. "You want my delicious mounds, don't you?" A knowing smirk as the blue mare looked at her gentle yet firm aggressor.
Within an instant the pink mare brought the blue mare to her sweet mounds of nectar, with her opening winking and dripping a long strand of her juices as she hovered over-top. With a gentle yet hard thrust of the pink mare atop her, pushing her head towards her folds, she needed no other cues. Unfurling her tongue from her mouth she slowly and deliberately inched her muzzle closer to the pink mare's sex. Her scent was thick and overpowering, yet it was sweet when her tongue had finally made contact to the mare's quivering sex. With a broad stroke of her tongue she felt the pink mare wink and hold it, she decided to only toy with the mare above her. Drawing her tongue in a fluid circle without lifting, dancing between her folds yet never straying far enough in or touching her delectable nub. In her lust given throes her hooves came to rest on the pink one's hips, supporting and groping her rump firmly, her own legs mashing themselves in an attempt to sate her own growing desire.
During their talks through dinner, Tempist couldn't help but watch Sozo attempting to sneak peaks at the mare duet. She knew it wouldn't be long before she could realize her true intentions of the night. It seemed to be going along a lot smoother and faster than she had planned, her sheer giddiness was almost palpable when she watched her sister's head drop down look at her food. In truth she knew she was observer her own erection, a thick monstrosity for a stallion-hood. Though she always enjoyed having another pleasure her ovipositor. They were shaped like any stallions, except usually a bit larger by standards, the tip, when flared, would open slightly and create a seal around the cervix of a mare. Which then the inside of the ovipositor, usually confused as the urethra, would then press itself onto the cervix and slowly wedge between it, opening it for one of two things... and on occasion both, if the mood was right. First would be for standard laying of eggs, which would take some time and a lot of energy. One would have to ensure the mare didn't move, as this stage had the whole length of the urethra (ovipositor) deposited into the mare's womb. With it, a Queen would fill the womb with a clear liquid to ensure smooth transition and to help the eggs not rub and break inside the mare, should she move. Having your ovipositor broken, ripped, or snapped out of a mare is anything but pleasurable. The second being to ensure the passing of seed, sperm, stud-milk, cum, jizz, and any other words that may come to mind in creating a new heir. It was Tempist's favorite usage for her member, as only a little bit of the ovipositor would penetrate, allowing her to fill the mare as if she had layed eggs without worrying of having it injured. Tempist had always loved to see how much she could inject before a mare began to feel true pain. The thought of it always drove her up the wall, ever since she witnessed Sozo do it, it had been far to good to let go.
Sozo sat silently, staring at her twitching member memories of her ecstasy surging to her thought process. While sitting silently for a few moments she finally brought her vision to rest across the table at Tempist. Tempist had this wondrous glow in her cheek chitin and Sozo knew she was becoming just as aroused as her... she wanted to make those mares hers. Their eyes locked onto one another, a gaze that turned into a stern glare filled with the buzzing of sex in the background. Both revealed their fangs in a small display of dominance, arching their head to point up a bit. Then as quickly as it had begun they had both brought themselves upon the bed. Tempist being first without having to worry about extra weight was able to snag the pink mare and haul her over towards her. Sozo was still quick in her movements, despite her overly sized belly. She quickly came atop the blue mare with a determined, yet sinister look to her smile. "I'm sorry dear, I'm afraid I'm going to..." Taking a moment to let the mare's essence seep into her as she caught her breath. "Borrow your hole for a while." A wide toothy grin replaced her features as she situated herself to the mare's entrance.
Fear and yearning seeped from the blue mare, her body rigid for what she felt to be the inevitable. Had she had any choice in the matter about keeping herself a virgin, she might have ran away to do so... sadly the look in the Queen's eyes clearly stated she lost that chance the moment she entered here. Looking with anticipation as the Queen's words entered me mind she felt her turgid member press against her swollen petals, craving release she just closed her eyes and looked away, biting her lower lip as the Queen's body awkwardly shifted. She would not have to wait long as the Queen's member pressed firmly, the head was easily twice her opening's size. Fear for what came next didn't even have a chance to enter as the Queen's hooves planted themselves on the mattress, holding her still in magic. The fullness she felt with the sharp pain made her scream with eyes tearing. Any attempt she made to move as met with a firm hold on her body, almost crushing like.
Feeling her member hilt it's self into the mare Sozo decided to let the mare have a brief moment to recover, her fear was hurting the mood a bit. She knew she would have to giver her some gentle coo's to keep her in favor. With a lust laden tone on to high of a silky lover, Sozo leaned down to the mare's ear. "Shhh, it's okay... Relax dear, it'll make, I'll be able to make it feel better if you do."
Shortness of breath made it a bit difficult for her to reply, but she managed through quick abated breaths. "I-I'm alright... just... uhm... first, time." With a slight huff she willed herself to relax, allowing her walls quiver along the throbbing beast inside her. She felt the Queen shiver above her in delight.
"Apologies, love." Stated Sozo compassionately. "I'm afraid though I can't bring myself to be too... gentle with you tonight. You. Taste. Wonderful." A calming smile greeted Sozo from the mare beneath her, almost surprising was the amount of lust that had spiked from the mare. So I see, she likes to be... dominated, oh-myy... Came Sozo's thought as the mare beneath her squeaked a little as she withdrew her cock slowly to her entrance. Sozo knew everything the mare was feeling, her pains, her pleasure, he need and wants for more. It was driving her crazy with her own lust, her own pheromones were releasing as she readied herself to drive her dick once more into the mare, to feel the loving embrace of her barrier. As she did, she was greeted with another praise from the mare as she yelped in pain and excitement.
Slowly taking in the mare's scent and essence was starting to take it's toll on Sozo's body. She knew what she wanted from this now, she wanted this mare to breed, she wanted to... keep her. Again she withdrew her phallus, covered in the mare's own fluids now as it became easier to drive her member hard and fast into her. Slowly she started to build her rhythm as her belly wobbled under her, she felt a familiar sense behind her sheath. Her testicle sac had dropped finally, and she knew it wouldn't be long. Picking her pace up faster she just wanted to make this mare hers, to stretch her and leave her claim in her. Every moan and squeak sent a shiver of excitement as she plundered onwards.
The mare had been able to feel every ounce of that stallion meat, to grip it, she didn't want it to leave, she wanted deep inside her, filling her, claiming her. The withdraws were becoming sluggish as the member began to swell incredibly more, almost painfully so.
Feeling her mare clench her member harder and more timely with her withdraws was pushing her too fast, she didn't care though. She knew what the mare wanted, and she wanted to give it to her. Every. Single. Ounce.
With a thrust that drove deep into her sopping wet flower, the mare finally couldn't hold herself back any longer. She cried out in ecstasy as she allowed her juices to flow over the monstrous cock that was giving her the first rutting of her life.
Sense of the mare's ecstasy drove Sozo over the edge, her testicles tightened as she drove her phallus hard against the mare's barrier. Her ovipositor brutally pushed out as soon as contact was made, the opening suction-cupped itself and she could feel and smell her musky seed begin to fill her mare.
The sudden plunging into her depths shocked her as she felt the swollen member knock the air out of her. Followed quickly was a distinctly sharp pain, like something had stabbed her almost, and then an incredible stretching sensation caused her to scream out silent as she bucked her hips in an attempt to flee. With an immediate sense of something hot filling her in a way she couldn't understand, it's flow as tremendous and world shaking to her.
Sensing her mare's distraught Sozo quickly grabbed her tail and held her against her firmly. Her bucking hips stayed outside her belly, thankfully, as she went threw the her first throes of Changeling breeding. Squirting as hard as she ever had felt in the last year she could tell her torrent of cum was hard on the new mare. She'll learn to like it. Sozo thought menacingly as her face was wrapped in complete bliss, riding the wave of her orgasm for all to see.
Tempist sat with her pink mare's head bobbing timely for air and pleasure as she watched her sister in the throes of passion. Though she was happy to see her sister filling and claiming a new mare, it wasn't her true desire this night. No, she had been planning this ever since she found out she was with child. Having missed all the other chances, she was going to make sure she would not miss this one, and she didn't have to wait long.
Sozo was so caught up in the moment she didn't sense her own body's reaction to all the lust filled air. A hot wetness ran from her backside, cascading onto the bed as her face, somehow, turned an even brighter shade of red. "S-Sister, I-I think my water just b-broke..." A small form of panic came across Sozo's features as she drew her attention towards Tempist, yet holding firmly on her mare as the thick ropes of seed filled her.
A Joyful yet sinister laugh and smile crossed Tempist's face as she clopped her fore-hooves together in excitement.
"This was your plan all along, Wasn't it!?" Ferocity filled her lungs as her seed pumped from her lodged member in the blue mare beneath her.
"I wanted to see my little niece, I couldn't help it!" Was the all happy reply from Tempist. "And my, I guess I won't miss this birthing, now WILL I!" Excitedly she pushed her pink mare off of her still throbbing member as she strode to her sister's backside.
"Tempist, what... what are you doing!?" Sozo's head whipped around to glare at her sister as she continued to hold her mare in place. While she could finally feel her own contractions, preparing her for childbirth. With all the sensations of her throes of sex and lust feeding it had locked her horn's magic on the mare beneath her, she was completely vulnerable.
"Ahh, just cementing the other half of our agreement, sister." A devious look came across Tempist's face as she closed in on her sister's rump. "My-my, Sister... Your plot looks... absolutely, pleasurable."
"Seriously Tempist, don't you even dare, I swear in the name of our Ancestors I'll rip you-r..." Her ferocious retort was cut as Tempist mounted her harshly, her throbbing member pushed firmly against her gaping entrance, penetrating firmly and quickly into her open womb. Her scream sounded through the room as she searched for her brood, only to sense they had been captured.
Tempist's devious face turned into a wicked grin as she plummeted her ovipositor to the hilt, a first for her since her last Under-Queen a few years ago passed. Letting it rest inside her sister, which she knew would be defenseless at this moment. "So, how does it feel, Sister?" Wiggling her hips back and forth she edged her sister on.
"T-tempist! If you stop this, I'll look past it and we can still.. NNgh!" Her eyes watered as she looked into her sister's gleaming eyes. "N-ngh! W-why!?" Was the final words as she lost her breath, coming hard as her cock was still lodged and still filling the mare under her.
"Why? Oh, I'm heart sister. Why? Because I love you." A genuine smile had the audacity to grace her lips as Sozo watched behind tearing eyes. "As well as ensuring my Hive's survival, sister."
"How, d-does this... Ngh! Do that!?"
"Simple, I'm going to leave my... how you say, marker in your spawn. Oh, it seems she didn't flip yet... wonderful." An evil glint filled Tempist's eyes as she looked upon her sister's fearful face.
"T-tempist... I..." Grieving to her own desire she knew she wasn't strong enough against her. Her hive was creative, not physically adapted to war like her's or others. Knowing what she had to say to ensure her Hive's survival and what she wanted were to contradictions at this moment. "I-I, I agree..." Tears left her mournful voice at her words.
Tempist took no time in thrusting her self against Sozo's rounded rump while she dexterously and expertly probed her unborn with her ovipositor. Groping and holding her sister in place with her magic. Feeling her sister's contractions around her member was intoxicating, she could feel her self building more than she had in any previous ruttings she'd given. Her member was slathered in pheromones and juices as she kept herself close to Sozo, with a few grunts and thrusts she felt her testicles release her marker into the unborn spawn. With each pump of her sac she could feel the unborn squirm at the new invasive sensations, writhing with slight discomfort as she began to balloon. Tempist, peeking at her new found high as she gluttonously continued to gush her mark into the spawn of her sister, she kept her ovipositor firmly in the tight confines of the soon to be Princess. Feeling every twitch of the Princess at her tip was enticing to Tempist, a new high reaching as she could feel her member being massaged by both daughter and mother.
Though, for Tempist had already planned to make Sozo's daughter her Under-Queen she just couldn't find it in her to stop herself from doing it, right, this, moment.
Pulling her now softened member from her sister's quaking canal, she gently let her sister down in her magic's embrace. Taking note that she was close to begin birthing she made sure the child was situated properly for passage and assisting as needed.
Sozo felt ashamed for letting her daughter's future be directed so quickly, nor had what happened been what she had at all planned. She knew that with her sister her daughter would be safe, though.
A harsh contraction and need to push blanked her mind as she grunted and breathed quickly.
"Slow your breathing sister, it's like it's your first time." Tempist casually remarked.
To Sozo, it felt like her first time... it was indeed her first time for what happened. It had caught her completely off-guard, a rate trait to have occurred, trust. Slowing her breath and taking deeper lung fulls.
Another contraction!
Her body spasm-(ed?) as she lost focus on her breathing. The pain was insurmountable, she felt like she was pushing something akin to bowling-ball down a mouse-hole! Her muscles flexed as she took another grouping of air to her powerful lungs. Grunting she pushed even harder, a tear, something tore when she pushed. Her scream was loud, harsh and painful as it shook the room with her royal voice, bursting the sound barrier Tempist had prepared before-hoof.
Tempist knew something was wrong when Sozo's screamed broke out. Using her magic she quickly guided it towards her sisters succulent canal. With a quick scan she found that... "What-the, actual fuck!" Was Tempist's disbelieving remark.
Sozo crying her yes out, called out a bit louder than anyone would have hoped. "Wha, whats wrong!! Is, did, NNGGH-AAAHH!" Pushing involuntarily Sozo felt the pain again as it worked it's way all through her nether regions, ending with a loud thud as the fullness and pain subsided to a shapr aching pain in her abdomen region.
Tempist was in shock, she had scanned her incognito wise with her brood but had not seen anything unusual in the development of her sister's new daughter. She even had some spies in her hive to check on the progress and to keep all-round tabs on her scheming ways. Though nothing ever pointed to what she was seeing before her, granted a little bit rounder than normal, expected with what happened. What shocked her was the slimy black-gleaming fur coat. Wha, how the.. but I-I. She had a half-breed!? How in the ancestral fuckery did she find a stallion compatible with changelings... and to top it off keep it from me! There is no-way, unless... oh my great sun-kissing-ass, her wanton sex drive feeding crap at the start of every year! That stallion, he, ugh, and I killed that stallion! Damn, now I have a half... wait. I have a half-breed Under-Queen. Tempist's thoughts were a-race now, she had planned on a regular Changeling Queen to turn into a Brood-Queen. Now, now she had a... Wonderful, I have the perfect breeding machine, why sister, you are TOO kind. She commented to herself in her own mind as a sinister grin came to light-up her features.
Using her magic, Tempist did another scan on her sister, then on her daughter. "Good, you are healing sister. Expect about three or four days of recovery, oh... and also congratulations on your newborn. Since she will be mine..."
"You... want... to name her...." Sozo interrupted while not even glancing back, her strength had seemed to disappear now that she was no longer on her sexual high.
"Yes." Casually replied Tempist.
"I don't see why not..." Stated Sozo tiredly as her belly quivered and delayed orgasm racked through her body as she healed.
As Tempist thought she couldn't help but notice how Sozo was still reeling from her siblings bonding encounter. She drummed up some names from her mind, taking only a few minutes to piece one together. "I know, Shinning Shadow... Yes, that shall be her name, perfect granted the.. hmm... how you put, condition she is in." A sly smirk emerged on her face as she looked to her sister, knowing it would get a reaction.
"Con-condition?" Struggling, Sozo lifted her head and looked back where her daughter rest between her splayed back hooves. Breaths raising and lowering her little chest, with her swollen... Sozo closed her eyes, tears threatening to re-emerge.
"That's not the condition I was talking about... Sister. I was talking about how she is... fuzzy." Stepping closer and looking down at her soon to be new underling.
"Fuzzy... what do you mea-..." Opening her eyes she observed closer to her child, reaching painfully so she nuzzled her daughter to stir her from her stillness. She was greeted with small grunts and whimpers from the... foal. Disbelief crossed her face as her jaw hung slack, it was true. Blinking her yes she tried to think it was a dream, an illusion, a trick on her senses. Yet there before her layed a shiny, yet slimy, black foal with Pegasus wings and a nub of a horn. Checking further she nudged the foal, soft, giving, warm and... fuzzy. Her eyes watered as she slowly wept over her child's condition.
Tempist stared intently at the grieving mother, knowing all to well what would happen, she even feared it herself... but couldn't get past the notion of having a perfectly flexible breeding machine.
"Welcome... to the family my little... Shinning Shadow..." A Dark grin overshadowed Tempist's wicked fangs as she cleaned the foal and sat on her rump, cradling the newborn in her fore-hooves, humming gently while her mother wept.
You're such a love bug.
