//-------------------------------------------------------// A Black Knight For Chrysalis -by blessed hex 13- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 ' a fateful encounter ' //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 ' a fateful encounter ' Chrysalis was on her weekly hunting mission with three trusting changeling guards,they were disguised as earth ponies.  When they came across a black lump in the distance.  The lump seemed to radiate love in an unknown way; It just seem to radiate love.  but there was another fact that was in play. Whatever this black lump was, it was giving off  all the dying signature.  In fact it was starving! Chrysalis intrigued by this black lump radiance of love freely given without a care, she HAD to prolong it's life. "Scarab, Dung Beetle, Roach, come with me!, we are going to the  love source. We must bring back to the hive at all cost!!Alive!!!!" Chrysalis barked. "yes ma'am!!!"  Chorus the guards. The trek home took an hour or so , with very little  whining from her guards, she allowed them to feed and restored their strength from the love that poured out of the biped.It seemed semi-unconscious, although it seemed more unconscious than conscious.  Chrysalis kept feeding it bread and water, though it seem  like a feudal effort. Three quarters of the way to the hive, she went strate to magical life support methods. Shadez P.O.V. Well that's the *last** time I go by summon air anywhere.  All I can do is hope to have my  dark beacon holds out till someone finds me and resuscitate me with magic.  Mana! it's hot, u could char broil a steak on my hide.  Ummmm... STEAK!  Must be the heat because im starting to be delirious.  What I wouldn't do for a nice tall glass of lotust'ed black mandrake juice.Yeah! that'll be the ticket, thick black muck oozing down my throat would feel sooooo gooood! Is that somebody off in the distance?  Fuck!!! no. I see bronze-arm walking on all four, and in a desert no less I thought I was in fire people country!* Oh no! Bronze-arm tribe members are from the earth civilization, if they find me i'm pretty much ectoplasm.  Better adjust my frequency, Fire, Darkness and Water. There still coming... huw???  there carrying me somewhere, at least they will kill me somewhere cool. Ugh! Bread and water, well at least I know their diet.  Even though it does nothing for me, Wuzthis??  I can feel darkness magic pumped in into my system, filling my reserve only, it must be medical magic. Darkness for healing. Who'd of thought that was even possible.  Who's that!?  Those stagnant green eyes, those wicked fangs, that twisted horn, that overwhelming sense and aura of superiority.  Do I smell a touch of musky dankness and poisonous flowers? Please be not an illusion,Please be not an illusion, Please be not an illusion! into the void of darkness........... I find myself in a granite room, several nurses are pumping that strange medical magic into my body, i sneak a tendril and drained one of them of their magic.  "Darkness magic, where all wishes are granted no matter the cost".  Or that's what my momma use to say.  I snagged another one of these black insectoid creatures, the other two are starting to catch on. I catch the one closest to me, drained her of her magic, but in my weakened state i'm too slow to catch the last. Maybe this is a good thing, maybe he'll bring back others Nurse Weevil P.O.V. I knew he was bad news, I knew he was bad news, I knew he was bad news!  But does anybody listen to Weevil!? No!  Say Weevil imagine' big, dark, scary energy in room.  Now Weevil was right.Now Weevil was right!  Must warn hive , must tell Chrysalis. Chrysalis wanted to know everything that happened, Maggots! do I have something to tell! Concerned looks came through the hive mind collective, those rantings could only come from one changeling.  Weevil Mosswood.  Nutcase, conspiracy theorist and nurse extraordinaire.  The one changeling that could mend a broken bone and give you a headache at the same time. The nurse drone scuttled through the halls of the nest, as fast as his little legs can carry him.  He made it to Chrysalis chamber in record time. "Ahh! Weevil! Back so soon with a report? How is our patient?" Chrysalis purred silkily.  "Your Queen ship!  The creature is awake and attacking our nurses! Do u think it's wise to keep such a creature?"  Squeaked the drone.  "Are you assuming to give me orders?" Chrysalis asked the mused.  "Of course not my queen."  The smaller changeling cowered.  "Then see that you don't do so.  Now take me to the medic wing and disguise yourself as a guard pony.  I will disguise myself as a unicorn maid, perhaps we could trick him as he tricked us." It took all about fifteen minutes for them to raise the alarm on my cell.  I managed to eaten a few guards clean out of their mana reverting them from the fearsome foes to black insects. Then I saw two forms, a grey bronze-arm tribe warrior in gold armor and a white bronze-arm tribe maiden with a horn upon her head. Yeah you heard me! a HORN!  But  i could smell her true form, she couldn't disguise her scent. "Come Lass!  That form is much less than what you deserve.  It mars the beauty of your true form, I think I maybe in love, For you hold two things I hold dear, being a 1) demoness and being 2) powerful.  Congratulations!" Chrysalis blinked.  She had never been praised for being a changeling before and being called powerful by this creature was kind of a turn on.  Dropping her ruse, she stepped into the chamber followed by a hesitant Weevil.  "clearly you do not fear us, but I have to say, why stay with us? There's so much ponies that will appreciate you more.  Now come tell me your name." "Gladly! but I would like a tit for that tat, spill your name first and I'll gladly spill mine."  Chrysalis looked taken aback , no one knowing her true form, have ever talked back to her before or made demands, Yet here this creature was doing just that. and giving off the most male pheromones she had ever witnessed. She was getting the most uncomfortable sensation in her marehood.  "Chrysalis queen of the changelings. and you are?""Shadez no title of which to speak. Now my lovely toxic flower, tell me about yourself and your people, you have quiet the dark magic, best iv'e seen in years..." The two dark entities talked until midnight until they were interrupted by screaming chatter throughout the hive mine. Chrysalis was immediately alerted and set the battle mode while Shadez took notice and merely followed in her wake. While she was dispatching soldiers and medics and sending teams of workers to inspect for damages and/or flaws.  Shadez just marveled at her authority and coordination, and made a mental note to see her in her bed chamber with that nice flank all to himself. It was a very nice flank. Yes a very nice flank indeed. "Chrysalis what take you to this beautiful posture? Surely an army isn't at your door, maybe I could be of service? NO? Very well." Chrysalis looked at Shadez with equal annoyance and curiosity.  "The hive is being overrun  by a sphinx, prove your love to me and I will give you as many changelings as you desire for you to feed upon."  "Prove my love? You have all me wrong! I'm a heartless monster that breaks hearts for a hobby, and then drains them of all their mana, why would I be in love with you?  But eating these changeling would benefit me greatly,so show me the way to the manion. Come on! time is wasting and no being should waste time." Chrysalis raised a black  eyebrow at that and shook her head. Cockroach P.O.V. The Sphinx was gaining ground on the changeling guard.  Cockroach saw her comrades dying left and right, just as the sphinx was about strike.  time seemed to stop for Cockroach for the moment there wasn't a world at all, just an inky blackness of the void, but there was pain upon her chest and a metallic scent of blood in there air.  The last thing she gave to the hive-mind was "For my queen, I only regret that I only have one life to live." "Buckaroo!  You shouldn't be all that dramatic, it tends to give me an irritation in unsightly places, Now we wouldn't want to have that? Would we? and you Harpie face I'll like to see you take on something a little more your speed, like some iron catnip. What's the matter? seagull got your tongue? Or you just chicken?" "Why You snotty black wanna bee minator! You dare take on alpha dee sphinxa and insult her as well? you must be a mad, brave or stupid to an nth degree.  You have just sealed your doom. Lets dance!" "And here I am without any dancing shoes, I guess i'll have to do with these dual cards. 'Lost souls of the tormented', 'lost souls of the forgotten' and 'lost souls of the fallen' I summon and cast 'Rush recklessly.' Now my spirits attack! show no mercy!" As he spoke a black, a white, and a royal purple orb of spiritual light appeared wearing ghastly masks on their faces.  They lurched  and lunged forward each intent on eating its victim first.  The Sphinx put up a shield charm destroying two but leaving one shattered, drawing blood.  A ribbon of flesh scraped of the Sphinx's hide, she roared in agony and rage. Alpha dee sphinxa let loose a volley of wing beats causing the sand to blast around her like a sand storm.  "Why you impotent Welp, you will pay dearly for that, and I will make you pay dearly indeed 'royal thunder'.  A hail of electric arrows came down on Shadez and Cockroach. Shield trigger activate, 'one for another'  I discard bloody squeeto to protect my ally on the field from any damage, sorry soul of the lost you are dead to me." The arrows rained down demolishing the purple spirit and what looked like clear spider with four legs protected roach from damage by using itself a living shield.  Now my turn I cast the sword spell 'infectious wound' and follow up with grateful charity oh this one is just what i needed i sacrifice green dragon shield and my sword of Damacleez from my hand to keep these two new cards, and I cast 'casters rejoice' followed by'limp'. Oooooh shitt! I didn't know a wing could bend like that  I had grounded the sphinx by crippling her left wing "better go into the battle fray and wrap this one up.My opponent is starting to bore me. " I strode up to the manion look-a-like and said as I plunged my claws deep into her chest, you will give me whatever I desire or I shall kill thee.  I will kill thou in a way most painful.  Now beg!  "  I blasted shock-waves of pure agony coursing throughout her body like river-lets of thunder. "Yes anything you want i have jewels slaves i have land I have gold, silver take it all just leave me be" "I want the changelings you killed back.  i want every one of their souls in my grasp." The eyes of alpha grew large with fear she a ten story tall sphinx to bring back the dead, nor was it in her ability to do so and her proverbial was cooked unless she did such a deed.  But she had a card to play come Tartarus or high water she was gonna play it. "I will only do it if I see you do it first, oh powerful foe." "You do not seem to know who holds your life but if that's what it takes to bring back the chains of your slain so be it.'reborn the monster' " the purple orb emerged back to the field swirling back together. "welcome back spirit of the lost!" Alpha dee spincta despaired for no way she could copy this creatures magic so she did the most logical thing one would do in her place. She ran, she ran like hell hound were burning at her heals.  The last conversation she heard was as follows cowardliness will get you no where. 'Polymerization '' soul of the lost' 'changeling guard' become one bring forth 'voice of the vanquished'! now my new friend I play potion to heal you what say you of judgement from your friends in the after life.  Her life save or forfeit ? Oh forfeit then? 'terror pit'!" And that was the last the sphinx heard from anyone. cockroach picked herself and dusted off her beast-plate's arm and shoulder guards. huh I have arms?! wow i can pass for a Minotaur cow. and a damn good looking one too! as the sky once again turned blue, she stretched her gossamer wings and serrated horn. "could you help me out?  i took more damage than I expected and now I can't seem too move." said her champion prone on the ground. face giddy with joy. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 the fiend and the queen //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 the fiend and the queen Chrysalis had never seen a changeling like Cockroach before and frankly she didn't know it was possible, but a new type of soldier had been born.  One that feeds of the love of the dead and could change into the dead and feed upon the emotions of others.  But with every advantage their were a few catches.  Only vanquished souls could be utilized, that means they had to meet a tragic death on the war field. the new body of Cockroach was Minotaur-isk. but instead of two curved horns the 'second state' changeling had a single pronounced with a sedated barbed edge. her wings had blossomed into a set of beautiful gossamer wings.  and five tallons adorned the warrior's hooves. Shadez on the other hand was a misnomer his spike seven horns sticking out of his head gave the effect he had a crown of horns.  He seemed to enjoy pumping spare energy, magical energy into crystals .  She was growing used to slay a minion every week to slate his hunger.  But whenever she got close to him personally her marehood would start to ooze significantly, she called up her shaman.   "Tell me dung beetle why do I have such reaction to our new captive. "  Dung-beetle inspected her swollen mare parts find nothing wrong but the scent of love in the airwait a minute love!? That cant be right attraction was for ponies not changelings, how could this be and the Queen not be aware of it herself the shaman thought to her self." Your Queenship from what I can deduce you have caught a rare affliction, Cupids arrow.  I suggest a good bucking fast to cure you if this strange affliction ." Chrysalis eyes grew wide, she was suffering from what!!?  No that's not possible it just can't be possible, Dung-beetle was just kidding right? She couldn't have THAT!!and she promptly fainted. She awakened on the dream plain a fantastical world where any desire is obtainable as long as you can think of it.  "Why am I here? I know I fainted but usually I go into inky blackness."  " I believe I can explain that one," said a  changing of ambiguous nature. " I am Shadez alternate form one that will not excite your hormones, but enough about that.  As i promised I will tell you are not the inky void.  I wish to see you simple as that."  Chrysalis's eyes narrowed  face grimaced she did not like being out of control and the element was clearly in this creatures favor. Chrysalis spat ."  What i need is a good bucking and I doubt that such a creature with no genitals will have any male hormones.  Tell me if i was to let you in my room, what reason would I have to keep you in chains for my own amusement.  " " Tell me do you have a thing for kinks, I can easily ease your soaring feminine pains while chained up to wall."  At this the room turned to a torture chamber with ponies riding in ecstasy.  Chrysalis her self had never seen such varied ways of love/torture devices .  The it all faded back into oblivion as quickly as it formed. Left in an empty plain with a craving for male sex with in her and a creature that very well could be her salvation, but was it worth the risk, was it worth falling love to save the colony.  Was showing weakness strength was all this pondering gonna get her anywhere? Hell no  !  She grabbed a male changeling guard a raped his brains out.  To satisfy the itch temporally . Each meeting with Shadez increased her need. Her needed was growing too.  By the one year point she downing 6 changeling guards a day, imagining they were Shadez.  While Shadez continued to become a stronger battler by ridding the land of foe's of the changelings.  And making the mountain fortress they lived safer and more durable in the middle of the waste lands.  If their foe's were vanquished  food became more plentiful as the settlers came to settle the waist lands.  For the first time in centuries, life was good for the changelings.  A 180 deg turn around  ten years prior. but one thing still nagged at the queen's mind. how the love draining was not effecting the champion without a flaw. there had to be a chink in his armor of ebony steel. Chrysalis invited Shadez into her royal living chambers for tea. she had to find his Achilles heel.  otherwise she herself, yes Chrysalis the changeling monarch would be starring into a future where he had them all strung up like marionettes and he mastered the strings. They both sat in respect to their body type.  the tea and sweetmeats were placed on a simple granite table. "So how is my champion this evening?" Asked Chrysalis, dildo up her flank to keep control of herself.  " Fine very well thank you, mow lets cut to the chase for some reason.  I will be screwed if we don't get to it immediately ."  Shadez replied coolly while taking a bite of sweet  meat and sipping tea. " Darn you could have at least added some more mandrake to this brew.  Or at least some spider venom." "Since you want it blunt I will tell you,  I want your weakness , no creature is perfect your far from the exception.  you have no magic but  your able to cast spells. Your physical powers are not much but your prowess is known in battle. What I want to know is where is the so called perfect creature's flaw.  Do so I will tell you mine as a deal?" "Fine, the longer I exist the more magic I need to sustain myself, battling allows to amplify my reserves for a short amount of time any effects are permanent but a battle field takes energy out of me as well.  I have to re stock daily to control the flow of my emotional magother wise my mental ability would deteriorate.   So I guess you can say my weakness is that I must consume magic or die.  "  Shadez deadpanned voice. A bemused  expression upon his face.  " Now sweet fangs,what is your final flaw? "We changlings cannot fall in love as a rule, getting too emotionally attached to a target would mean our downfall. We corrupt the souls of the ones we love, turning them to husks, which leads to heartbreak.  Which is poison to us , especially if was to fall in love,  I would kill myself, for the good of the colony.  ' a Queen that's not loyal to the hive doesn't deserve her subjects loyalty.'" "And yet your screwing guards do you dint't have to screw me, I find that highly amusing, at least Im using the right frequency of theromone" Shadez chuckled.  Chrysalis blushed a murky crimson " h-how did you learn about that? I've keeping my activity secret for just this reason" . Then instantly clapped her hooves over her mouth. " oh a little spy glass told me that you've been fucking the guards, nothing to be ashamed of my mother used to do it all the time ." Shadez laughed taking a bite of sweet meat and a swig of tea.  " Damn her and her  excessive sex habits, damn this tea is pretty good."   Chrysalis stared at him mouth agape, I thought I had it bad. My mother falls in love with her prey and leaves me with a starving army, Chrysalis glumly thoughtyet he shows no signs of siphon sickness, could he be the prophesied one?   "Earth civilization to Chrysalis! anybody home?  " "I was just... thinking about something it's not important, carry on you were saying?"  Chryslaris gulped trying to compose her royal demeanor. "I was wondering what is your fantasy of sex?  Truly you need one rutting as you do with the palace guards." Chrysalis turned beet red and it flushed down to her neck. "I was bucking you." "come again? I could not hear you my dearest." "I said. I was bucking you." "one more time and enunciate." "I SAID I WANT YOU TO BUCK MY EVER-LIVING BRAINS OUT AND I CRAVE IT*NOW* !!! I've done with empty vessels i need you in side me!!" "if you wanted me to rock your world all you nee-dent do is ask and i will gladly comply, my royal sweet." "then i demand to have this infernal love itch scratched!!!!" Chrysalis shreeked months of pent up power and sexual  frustration not to mention her own personal lust. //-------------------------------------------------------// chapter 3 dueling is in the air, no? //-------------------------------------------------------// chapter 3 dueling is in the air, no? Chrysalis p.o.v. oohhhh!!! calling the sex good would've been a gross understatement. he was every where at once encasing her in a love cocoon made his own body. he was at every soft point on her carapace. teasing her teets with expert precision. and the thrusting! now shining armor was good, but Shadez wove spells that filled her marehood and her plot and her throat! pity she wasn't in heat she would have love to bear some of his brood. Canterlot palace the diarchs of the sun, Celestia and moon, Luna were sitting to dinner/breakfast when odd as it may seem the stars went out like a candle in a wind storm. then the moon turned blood red. but the strangeness didn't end there no that was the appetizer, next came the main course: sickly green eyes appeered on the moon. the eyes were unmistakably the eyes of a certen changeling queen. "how dare she disgrace our night! she doesseth notteth knoweth the wrath she is ineth for!!!" Luna bellowed outraged. "shhhh, hush now dear sister.it is not Chrysalis's style to attack with out the force needed to back it up" "quite right sun butt, but i am pirating the nightmare's nocturnal frequency to tell you to meet me at the wastland's gate to dusty stag town. this is not an invitation but a royal decree Nebulous-Foust-Vixen rank " "no, no not possible." "what is it Tia?" "we can not challenge her orders. she pulled a mummy and daddy trump. and i felt the core mana of our parents " "that corrupt slut, a toad in her bath.  we go?" "yes, tomorrow we make our way to dusty stag." dusty stag town 3 days since the blood moon incident princess Celestia stood upon the wind swept train station platform with princess Luna. "we're at the 'requested' town sister. may find more information about our 'hostess'?" queried Luna. "indeed little sister. let us not go in blind.  Chrysalis is not to be trifled with.  but whatever she's has planned we'll be up to the task.  but twilight must be kept safe.  for she is our ace in the hole." The Mayor of dusty stag a stallion of gray and brown coat with cutie mark of a star came over. "Princesses i'm glad you can make it, I was afraid you would be out of your own party and be disqualified from winning the prize." "Prize? I didn't know there was a prize? you Tia?" "no Luna. but what could it be?" "a unrestrained wish is the prize. any thing you can think you can have!" "my little pony do you know what Chrysalis would wish for?" Celestia asked the mayor in a hushed tone. "a permanent source of food that dose not spoil. if i do recall princess. come we have your respective spell pods ready for you." he said showing Celestia a ivory box with gold trim and her sun em-brazened upon it. Luna was hoofed a onyx box lined in silver crested with her two crescent moons to make a full one. "their exquisite! what do they do again?" "ask spider for the details he the only changeling with a card stall BIG BOLDstreamers and trappings." "A CHANGELING??!!!" The diarchs cried in unison. disbelieving their own ears. all ponies knew changelings were trouble "and if we refuse?" "then the hive of Chrysalis stops its low feeding policy. and we will be at her hunger your highness." begrudgingly they made their way to a shop that looked like pinkie pie had decorated it. the theme was outlandish and loud. as they entered wooden chimes 'clocked' the arrival of the princesses. small padded bundles overflowed off the shelves on the haphazard walls. on the floor were glass displays of what looked like playing cards. the room smelled of a combination of musk, like a pony in bad need of a bath, cheap rose perfume, the kind you get cause their on sale NOT because it smelled good, and stale colt-be jack grilled cheese sandwiches. "aahhh, yeeeess, customers!!! weeellcome!!! how may i be of worth? nnooo don't tell. leeet me guess. new duuelest, that means one thing. my queen and her lover have yet more competition! thaat's gooood!!!" the changeling with a spider cutie mark all the while chewing on a supposedly a colt-be jack sandwich. the changeling's body distorted or was it the room?? "tia, tia oh thank faust i thought you were in a coma" said a breezie like the which Celestia had never seen before. "how do you know my mother?who and what are you? and where are we?" "why i know foust because you do. don't even ask. take too long to tell. to your second two queries both have the same answer, i am your deckkeeper, 'angel of the light: Beecon'. as to where that easy we're in the 'angelic city of the eternal sun'-'s outskirts. my home." meanwhile elsewhere Luna was faced with a similar quandary with a imp calling her self 'Jestra, the black magi'. calling the realm as the 'garden of the new moon'.  the air was thick with the sent of nocturnal flowers.  stars studded the night-time sky, but Luna saw a obsidian globe that eerily mocked her own moon. in a serenade of crickets and owls. "just where areth thou taking thee?" "to the dimensional portal, we have get there asap if not sooner!! now get the Loadstone off you flank and get a move on!!" some time later in the city of the eternal sun... "beecon how long have we been walking? and will we find this portal to take me home." "quit belly-aching we just meet five turns ago and you've been nothing but questions. at this rate i doubt you'll go if you keep jaw jacking like the way you have." "..." "and another thing the gate to your realm  will olny open at my passing though it" " i'm sorry for taking only myself into account. it was very rude." "i think the way to best make up for a misdeed is to spend mana on cake! then stuff your self silly. oh look it the royal bakery!iv allways wanted one of their brownies of divine judgement with a ice cold glass of juiced fruit of the divine intervention tree." "then let us geab some to go. i'll be paying. my little angel "every thing is going as planed my dear.  they are getting love siphoning entities to safely harvest there hearts little by little but not bit by bit." Shadez cackled to the royal changeling as they both sipped a hot batch of reserve level royal nectar. "  let us hear it for sir spider, the foul. brilliant plan Shadez giving souls of countless vermin to fill the void of one of my lowest workers hearts so he was self-substaining was quite daring." "grudges are best eased with crazed schemes and cunning plots. now may i have another whak at yours?" "only if you promise to get REAL Rough. iwant it so my plot hurts for the rest of the day." "as you command mistress, if that is your wish." "yes,  yes i do wish."
