The Beginning and First blood.
I am in my bed, waiting three of my children to appear, as the door opens three xenolings enter, one with tattoos on the four hooves resembling fire tornadoes, Karov, the oldest of my sons with 30 years, the second being a changeling with a gas mask, one that resembled a stallion that name was Hunk, but with blue lenses, Duo the middle son with 23 years and lastly my youngest daughter with 23 years, Karenn, she used glasses because she got one of my bad vision genes, her glasses resembling the glasses of a little filly that I killed and eaten when I was younger, this pony being a gray furred filly with a gray almost blue mane, Karenn’s glasses had one difference, they were red instead of blue, they sat down near my bed like dogs waiting treats of their owner, sorry, there were no other comparison I could make, just because my children’s tails waved like happy dogs and their eyes are cute as puppy ones, but I miss one of my children, Chrysalis II, but what can I do, she is now the oldest daughter of Queen Chrysalis with 29, she don’t have time for me because she now is the Queen of the Xenoling Hive, someone needs to guide our little drones.
“Dad, did you call us?” Karov start speaking, “What is the problem?”
“None, I just wanted to tell you all a story.” They always ask if there is a problem or if I am feeling something, just because I have 150 years.
“What story? The Ghost Squadron and how they fought 2000 Sol Soldiers bare hooves? Or How a Changeling revenged his lost niece by knowing what ponies would do in the next minutes?” Duo asks, his eyes almost turning into spotlights as they shined. “Or about-“
“Enough is enough, Duo! Let our Daddy speak!” Karenn speaks almost hitting the back of Duo’s head, only these two know and can control themselves, “Now, what story are you going to tell daddy?”
“Well, I don’t know if I call this story “Our History” or “How I ended in Equestria and feed the changelings with Hope” but I will tell anyway” I say, but I think Our History is better and shorter, so, yeah.
The first thing I can remember is that I was in a big convention, full of bipeds like me, but more simple, they didn’t had my big head nor a tail like mine nor my “N” shaped-like legs, they we’re almost like a plank of wood, all of they were very different from each other, well almost, I think I saw a pale biped with red paint details using a brown skirt 3 or 4 times, I don’t know, I was in a shopping area of this convention, and I saw a biped using a black coat and a purple scarf hiding half of his mutilated face, only a part of his forehead and his orange shining eyes could be seen, he was holding a sign saying “I have everything you want by the price you can pay”, I was looking for a katana with a dragon mouth in its handle, and no other shop had it, so he was my last chance, I made my approach, avoiding hitting anyone with my shoulders, my head or my tail.
After some minutes of avoiding, I reached the biped, he said that he was just know as the Merchant and he had anything we wanted, except ammunitions, one of my brows raised to a questioning stance to his affirmation, then I asked him for a katana, he just said.
“Do you mean this one?”
As his opened his long coat, I saw it, it was perfectly like I imagined, the sharp part of the katana had a meter and a half of length, the handle was big enough for fitting my two hands, and the dragon head on the handle had 4 teeth on the superior jaw and three on the inferior jaw, it’s eyes where made of two rubies which were neon red colored, I did a simple and slow vertical swing with it, the point of the Katana draw a red trace, it was strangely perfect, when I asked him a price, he said it was a gift, then he blow a red dust in my face, and I fell unconscious.
“You accepted? Even if it was strangely perfect as your thoughts on the Dragon Blade?! Daddy, what in the Tartarus!?” Karenn almost jumped to my neck to strangle me for that.
“Yes, I know, I were an idiot at the time, I only had 27!” I just threw my arms into the air to emphasize my completely irresponsibility at my younger times.
“Well, if our dad wasn’t so idiot we wouldn’t exist!” Duo said as he hit his sister in the ribs with his elbow, not too strong I might say.
“Well, I think that was the only time my irresponsibility did something good.” I can remember various times my irresponsibility was a disastrous thing, but let’s save that for later.
The next thing I could remember was when I woke up, I was lying in a glade and then I sat up, the first thing I could notice was something between my legs, it was bigger than a velociraptor, it was rising up and it was thick and long like a snake,…
“Father, what the buck?!” -Karov with an expression that could only mean that something was nasty, while the twins were hugging themselves with horrified expressions.
“What? I was talking about my tail.” -I said while it was getting out of the blanket and wrapping around my waist.
“Next time don’t talk about your tail as you we’re talking of your dick! Understood!?” Karov said as he recomposed himself and tried to calm the twins.
“I promise, now let’s continue.”
…my tail wasn’t stiff as before, no, it was like an actually living tail, it moved, swung and corrected itself as I moved, other thing that I noticed was my right arm, it was completely metal and it was cold, every time I move my finger I could her some type of mechanism activating and allowing my finger to move, then I starting to look at the surroundings.
At my right side there was a military box with a chestburster ouroboros.
At my left side there was a little pond, I moved towards it to use as a mirror.
The first thing I saw was a name wrote next to the pond, “Amy”, I seriously don’t know what that means, the second was my face.
First thing I saw on my face, two red orbs moving inside an orange liquid, then I noticed that they were my eyes, I tried closing my eyes, the orbs just turned black.
Second thing I saw, a big inferior jaw almost like the more simple bipeds, it was big enough to cover my superior jaw, even the connection between the jaw and my head could be seen, I can say that there is only one difference between my jaws and a alligator’s jaw, is that my upper teeth are hided, every teeth of my mouth is perfectly placed that if opened my mouth just a little to make the teeth match the spaces, not even a millimeter gap would exist.
Third thing I saw, I am bald and I don’t have ears.
Then I looked at my body, my thorax was bigger, my abdomen was impossible for my body, my head was elongated and the end of it appeared to be sharp, I didn’t knew at the time.
Then I headed to the military box.
And I opened it; it had a Remington R5 with an thermal sight, an infinite symbol was painted on it, a suppressor and five magazines with an bullet going through a white thick line painted on it, a Glock 20 with a laser sight and 5 extended magazines, the Katana, Dragon Blade, that the Merchant gave me, a bowie knife, provisions, some type of golden visor and an iron armor with leather pockets for everything the box had.
I putted the iron armor on me, put the knife on the sheath at my left shoulder, the Glock on a holster on my right thigh, the handgun magazines on my right abdomen side, the Dragon Blade on a sheath located above my tail base, the R5 magazines on my abdomen left side and the rations or provisions at my chest’s right side, I picked up the R5 and started to look around again, I saw something that resembled a trail, and so I followed it.
I walked for almost 5 hours till I reached the end of the forest or jungle by its denseness, I saw another trail, I noticed that if I followed it I would reach a little village, so, because of my total knowledge of the place that it was null or zero, I used some bushes as camouflage, moving between then, occasionally stopping because of some ponies going to and coming from the village, some of them talking about some of the ponies that lived there especially the Bearers of the Elements, or simply The Elements, at the time I didn’t knew what they meant with that, after almost an hour I reached the village, but I only got more trouble, the village was more “alive” than I thought, winged ponies going from here to there carrying things, horned ponies putting decorations all around the buildings, almost all of them had two floors, normal ponies carrying baskets full of food, they we’re preparing to some kind of festival, then I saw an pony with both wings and horn, she was, I knew she was a she because of her voice, marking things on a checklist, I started moving from alley to alley, it was hard because the sun was high in the sky and there we’re ponies everywhere, after sometime I found an open basement window.
While I stayed at the basement, I tried to communicate with others, because I knew I was a Xenomorph, so I might have a mental link, so I started trying to communicate with everything I could.
“Is there anyone out there? I am not an enemy.” I repeated that every day with the intervals of 6 hours, for 3 weeks, my rations ended in the first week, and I needed protein, and I knew that ponies had meat, in the second week, I started hunting ponies that wouldn’t be missed or that was hated, my first prey was the gray filly, and I remember that night like it was yesterday.
It was a cold night, I was the only thing moving between the shadows of the moon, I was looking for an open window were I could break in and take out whoever was in the room with the open window, then I saw the only window, big enough to let me go in, it was in the second floor, but like I said I am a Xenomorph.
I climbed the two stories building carefully, I didn’t want to scare my prey, and she was there innocently playing with some dolls.
“And then Applebloom hugged her and they started to be best friends!” –she said with such a smile that I almost felt ashamed of killing her, but my stomach won over my heart, and I proceeded with my stealth approach, a hand and a foot at a time, some seconds after that she dropped the dolls and started to cry.
“Why can’t I be friends with them? Is it because Diamond? But she is my sister, I want to be with her.” –she said that between tears and sobs, I stopped, my heart was getting more and more small, but my stomach kept pushing me, I was hungry, but I didn’t want to kill her, but it was my only chance, it was like a fight between two of me, my logic and my emotions, but after some second, we/I made an agreement, I would kill her but quickly and painlessly, so, I wrapped my tail to something to the window, the tail till had some meters before being stretched out, and it I did, I jumped on her, holding her muzzle with one hand and wrapping my other arm around her chest, then I used my tail as a spring, pulling me in the window’s direction, jumping out of the house and into the alleys again, when I landed the filly started to fight, but she was only wasting her strength, it took just two seconds to break her neck and her legs going limp, I put her in the ground and climbed again, getting inside her room again to see if I messed something, I didn’t want any prove of me that could harden my night hunting, nothing was out of its place, so I exited the room, closed the windows and landed on the alley, I ran while I picked her body, no body heard me while I ran in the dirty terrain carrying a dead filly, only the Moon watched me.
“Only the Moon?” –said Duo, the lenses could move because of a spell used on they, mimicking his eyebrows movements, “So, They saw what you did and didn’t made anything to stop you?” –he mentioned They, Luna and Nightmare, I hadn’t made contact with they in a while, well, I bet it’s because the frontier battles between the Xenoling Hive and the Darkness Kingdom, but, in my dreams we can communicate, other day I will do that.
“At the time, or they didn’t had the power or they didn’t knew they could do that, but let’s continue the story.”
I entered the basement I used as a house, and started to eat, her hind legs gone first, like fried chicken, after that I tried again.
“Is there anyone out there? I am not an enemy.” -and I had a response.
“I am sorry, but, I-I can’t feed you, M-My hive can’t hold more, we are all h-hungry.” -the voice was made a mare, I felt sadness in every of the letter she vocalized.
“Wait! I can help you!” –after that, Silence reigned.
I tried again and again, just wasting time, during rest of the week I tried to contact the mare, and nothing, but at least I had hope, even if it was little, at the end of the week I hunted again.
The wasn’t nor cold nor warm, just in the middle of it, the village, that now I knew what was the name of it, Ponyville, was a little more alive, there was a little bar open, a purple mare with no wings or horn, with two fruits painted in her flanks, a strawberry and a bunch of grapes, was serving drinks and beers, drinking one or other, logic me started to talk.
“By how much she drank, we going to have quite a hangover if we eat her.”-then hungry me said.
“Whatever, like someone would miss a drunk mare, just kill her.”
So, I hid and waited till her work time ended, I almost fell asleep waiting for her, she was walking away from the bar, it was still dark, so I could follow her using the main street, I just needed her to turn into an alley or get into her house, then I would snap her neck and everything would be over.
She reached the door and opened, and everything gone downhill, first there was a scream, then she saw me and then, blood was everywhere.
“Are you serious that you will just say that?” -Karov said, his brows and his nuzzle showing disappointment.
“Problem is, Twilight always interrupt when we are about to have fun, am I correct Miss Sparkle?” -She was standing there looking at me with those shut sewed eyes, with dry blood coming out of them, why I did that?
“I bet that were going to tell what you did to Berry Punch and Berry Pinch?” –her eyebrows and lips showed disgust.
“Yes, so what do you want, Grumpy Face?”
“Celestia wants to talk to you, she waiting in the Panoramium.” –the Panoramium was my favorite place on my castle, it was a semi globe, the sun couldn’t escape my sight in that thing.
“What I said about Celestia? You shall call her Princess Sun Butt!” –I came with that ages ago and she still didn’t learnt, even the others do that, but not she, sun idolater.
“I won’t call her that and she is waiting.”
“I shall rename you Princess of the Grumpiness! Karov, give me my Armor.” –seriously, staying in the bed is great, even greater if I was with my children telling them a story.
Every time try to put my on, the difficulty was one step increased, I bet it’s because I am becoming a little more rusty, the armor can be a little more rusty too.
“Son, you want to hear a tip?” –my son Karov was like my security guard, he accompanied me, where I would go, he was there at my side.
“What tip you want to give me now father?”
“If you build your own castle, put elevators and automatic passageways, or even better, teleporters everywhere, because in a huge ass castle like this you will be walking for miles.”
“It’s just because you are getting older dad.”
“Oh, shut up you! I only have 150 years!”
“Yeah, but are no princess.”
“Of course not, I am a king! Oh looks like talking does kill time, here we are, could you wait outside, I know how you get angry with her around.” –One time he almost boiled her alive, so this time I will talk with her alone.
I open the gigantic 4x3 sliding doors, and there she was sitting like a dog in the semi-circle couch, with her mane and fur not as vivid as decades ago, I bet that the suffering of her population made her pay this price, just like what happened when I saw the situation of the hive a 123 years ago, I approach and sit on the other side of the couch.
“So, Sun-Butt, what is the matter, your last visit was like, I don’t remember, like 60 years ago? When you desisted and tried to make a peace agreement?” –I remember that day, she tried to give me boxes of gold, but that didn’t have any value to us.
“I came here peacefully to ask for some farm lands of yours.” –She says that in such a defeated tone, I will tell why later.
“I can give you as much as you want, and I will only ask for one thing.” –I put one of my claws in front of my creepy grin.
“Even if I am willing do anything to save my little ponies, I am very afraid of any asking made by you.” –Her expression changes from defeated and sad to angry, very very angry in less than a second, no, serious, now I am scared!
“Heh, you shall not have worries, my asking is very small, small like a seed” –I wink at her, the only mare that could know what this seed meant.
“Like you and all of your putrid bugs say, fuck you! I would do anything to save my ponies, but that asking is out of my limits!” –She is angry, neither in Hell I saw demons angrier than her eyes right now, but let’s balance this.
“Celestia! You Shall Not Curse About My Children!” -I rise showing my entire 2 meters and 31cm, or 7ft and 7in, I don’t care- “Do you remember what happened to the last idiot that cursed at my children!?”
“Don’t bring that back, I already forgot all those nightmares.” –She was almost crying, so I continued.
“Oh, I can, and I will! You know why? Because I was the one that that killed him, torn him apart and forced you to watch all of what happened to that Mal-formed fetus of a chimera.” –that fucking maniac, so much power and he wasted everything into friendships with those little things.
“Now listen Celestia, give one of the seeds of the Tree of Harmony and I will give you enough farm lands that you can make the Remains of Equestria grow again.” –What I mean by the Remains of Equestria is just a little 10% of what was the entirety of Equestria.
“But what will I say to my ponies after a give the key of our most powerful weapons to our worst enemy!?” –Some tears started to run down her cheeks.
“Say that you to choose between protecting you honor and letting your children die of starvation or feed your ponies and have some decades to build defenses against us.” –I say while I approach the windows to look at my hive, it covers 40% of Equestria and the entire Kingdom of Griffonia, the Xenoling Hive started very small 123 years ago. “I will send some of my children to redo the frontiers of your farmlands, after you meet me at the Main Division of our territories in the old train tracks that led Ponyville to Canterlot and give me the Seed, I will be with two other soldiers, you can go with two of your guards tomorrow’s midday.”
She stand on her four hooves and go away saying no words, it’s very sad to see her now, I remember when I fought against her, she had such energy and power, her magic was just powerful, but, decades of fighting and stress made by loses in wars, failed attacks to stop advances of my troops and physical/mental pain, that I take responsibility, made her fade and smaller in power.
I exit the Panoramium and I see Karov sitting outside, playing with his fire magic, with complete control, he makes images of, very possibly, him, beating the hell out of Celestia, he needs something to release all his rage, martial arts, he almost broke the neck of a changeling one time, meditation, he can’t stand the silence, I think he tried almost everything, even medication, nothing helped, but what can he do, I think he have all of his rage because of the fire crystal he put in his horn to have full control of fire whenever he wants.
“Karov, don’t you want to hear more of the history?” –His concentration breaks, he look up to me.
“So, what Sun-butt wanted?” –he asks tiredly.
“More farmlands.”
“And what you asked?”
“A seed of the Tree of Harmony.”
“How in Tartarus the Elements could work now that their bearers are blinded by their own Elements?”
“Well, we still have those crystals embedded in chaotic magic, so, maybe if we use one of them in the seed it can be turned in a ‘Tree of Chaos’.” –My hand in my chin shows that this may be a bad theory.
“Its better we wait till the tree is matured and can make other seeds, so, we can experiment with it.” –he says as he rises to his four hooves.
“But till it has matured I will be dead!” –Putting my on my hips just collaborated to emphasize my anger.
“It’s better that we wait and being safe than doing right now and ending on bad results.” –His expression shows that every time he says something true, his ego inflates, that's my boy right there.
“So, back to your bedroom?”
“Yep, and I will ask to eat, what do you think? Meatballs with sauce and Peppers?” –I ask with my stomach growling.
“That would be great.” –I noticed Karov love for spice things when he was very young, when he was 3 or 4 years, Chrysalis accidentally dropped some hot sauce on a bowl full of mashed bananas, and he ate savagely even licking the bowl like a starving maniac.
After another walk to my room, we enter it and see the twins playing a card game called “pife”, where the objective is to make three combinations of the cards with the same number with different signs or a sequence of three numbers with the same sign.
“How long I talked with Celestia?”
“Enough time to play 10 times.” -Duo says with the most monotone tone I ever heard, and I heard various times.
“So, enough with the games, I bet you all want to hear what happened to the drunk pony that made Twilight expression disgust.” –I talk while I sit on my bed and the twins put the card in a random drawer, Karov sit on front of me, Duo sit on my right side and Karenn on my left, I grabbed a phone on my bed’s right side and asked for the food.
So, Berry Punch opened the door, one thing I didn’t expect was that her daughter or sister, I don’t know neither care, was waiting her to greet her, Pinch first saw me, her eyes got smaller than a needle’s head, her ears raised as high as the moon on the night, then she screamed as high as a dragon can roar, I needed to act fast as my peripheral vision, which was pretty good because of my eyes being between of a carnivore and a herbivore eyes, let me explain, imagine a octagon, my eyes are between the horizontal and the vertical lines, better now?
Where was I, oh yeah, my peripheral vision was showing to me that lights we’re been turned on, so I broke Punch’s neck, her body fell on the floor like how a leaf falls of a tree in the autumn.
Pinch retreated a little then I jumped on her stabbing her with my claws.
My right claws went between the ribs spaces, my left claws went deep in her neck, probably they went between the vertebrae, because I felt them being stuck, then with power of my arms I tore her apart, her neck and head loosened of my claws and flew through a window, the left side of her rib cage and a left foreleg hit one of the walls and made a crack on it, the rest of her body fell on the floor
I picked Punch’s body and jumped over a house and ran over the ceilings.
“What they did after that?” –Karenn asked.
“Well, the last thing I saw was 10 ponies screaming and regurgitating.” –my smile was very noticeable.
“And later, what the mayor did?” –This time Karov asked sitting like a sphinx.
“Well, dozens of Sol Soldiers, or at the time, Royal Guards, appeared and encountered Twilight, two of them were very distinguishable, one orange fur and blue tail and mane, the other was using purple armor, if I remember, the orange one name was Flash Sentry, the one with purple armor, was Shining Armor, brother of a princess and married to one.”
“Oh! The only stallion that you blinded with honor!” –Duo with, I bet, a smile on his face, it’s hard to tell with that mask.
“You are correct my son” –As I say that the door opens and a changeling dressed as a butler enters, magically carrying a tray with two bowls full of meatballs covered in hot sauce and peppers, and forks, don’t know why, oh and two bottles of milk & four goblets, milk goes great with peppers.
“King Liensis, Prince Karov, Prince Duo and Princess Karenn.” –The changeling bows four times.
“Yetaxa, what I said about bowing?” –I say while doing circles on my forehead with my index claw.
“Uh, even that you four being from the royalty, you all are changelings and changelings are equal?”
“Yetaxa, I said much more times than I can count and you still bow, so, just put the tray over here and go away and repeat that 100 times, literally.”
He does what I said and go out of my bedroom already repeating my command.
“So, where I stopped? Oh yes!”
The guards arrived on the next morning, I won’t repeat what I already said.
I stayed and ate as little as possible of Berry’s corpse, I didn’t want to go out there without knowing jack shit about this new enemy, even that the armor had various weak points.
The neck was protected only on the back, a good slice in the neck and they we’re dead.
The eyes are exposed, not even glass was put in front of them, a trickster could toss dust on the guard and they would be blind.
The Pegasus guards didn’t have any type of armor on the wings, sharp your long axes and they are down.
All of the bottom half of the guard was exposed, any type of heavy weapon would break their legs and any sharp weapons shaped like hooks would cut their abdomen and would release whatever they had inside their bodies.
I stay 3 more days in the basement, Punch’s body had already disappeared, I try to communicate with the mare another time.
“Is there anyone out there? I am not an enemy.”
“I can’t feed love to any other changeling, I am sorry but, you need to understand that!”
“Listen, I am not a changeling neither a pony, I don’t need ‘love’, I eat meat, whatever happened I can help, just say where you are.”
My eyes glows after I receive her location, I take my R5, see if she is okay and ready to fire, I rise, holding it in place, I put it in auto and pull ed the trigger aiming for the door of the basement, the door breaks in half, my first cartridge still had 13 bullets, I ran to the main floor and it’s all made of crystal, and Twilight, I will use her name even that I didn’t knew at the time, was at my side talking to her brother, lucky me there was a window at my front, so I jumped through it, I landed on some bushes and then ran like a cheetah hunting a gazelle.
I reached the Everfree Forest in 20 minutes, I used the shadows and tree tops to hide myself, while royal guards searched the boundaries of the forest, I kept going for the current location of the mare.
I hopped from and to trees for at least 4 hours, till I reached the hive...
“Father, could we continue the story later, I am not the only one feeling sleepy.” –Karov, with his eyes half closed, said, the twins were no better, Karenn was sleeping over my lap and Duo was holding his head with both hooves.
“So, go sleep my children.”
Karov, to wake Duo, poked him, Duo levitated Karenn with his magic and the trio exited the room, I think even I am feeling a little sleepy.
“I know that you are there, Fluttershy.”
“How you knew of my position?” –Fluttershy said with her calm and shy voice, her eyes were too sewed shut, but, in her case I took great care, her eyes didn’t had the blood that Twilight, Rarity or Shining had on their eyes.
“Even that I am old, my nose is still good as new, so, how much you heard?”
“Well, uh, everything.”
“Is it enough to fuel your nightmares?”
“I-It is.”
“Could you sleep with me? These ten years had been the loneliest I had, and I would like a soft and alive thing to hug while I sleep.”
She nods and lays at my side, my right arm goes underneath her and wraps around her neck, even that I left it a little loose, she still pronounces an ‘Eep’, my left arm go over her chest, this time not too loosely, then I slept and started to dream.
I am dreaming of one of my favorite days, I am with my Queen, she was beautiful, and neither the stars nor the moon could compare themselves with her beauty.
We were on a little hill close to Ponyville, at the time the little village was well protected and rarely somepony would get out of the fortified walls, so we were safe, she was reading some romance that I can’t remember, I take out a little black box from one of my pockets, I opened it while hiding from Chrysalis, it was a ring big enough to fit on her horn, it has made of diamonds, gold wasn’t enough to match Chrysalis’ shininess, I knelt at her side, cleared my throat and…
I appeared on a white room, sitting on a dark purple couch, in front of Queen Luna sitting on her crystal throne, she was holding a hoof in front of her, possibly trying to hold her laugh, of course.
“Queen Luna, I didn’t see you in a while.”
“Our last reunion was before your wife’s death, if I recall.” –She put her hoof down, now with a more serious face.
“Don’t remember me that, it was been 10 years.”
Now that Luna remembered me of it, the morning she died, it was a sunny morning were I woke up normally at 6 am and kissed her in the cheek, my tradition to wake her, by tradition she would moan a little in protest of her awakening, but them nothing, my Chrysalis didn’t moan, nor her ear twitched, neither her eyes opened, just a solid smile, it wasn’t one of those exaggerated smiles, it was a rare kind that you only see once or a twice in your life, I tried to wake her in every way I could, shaken her with one of my hands, nothing, I called for her name, nothing, after 5 minutes, I picked her up, her body was colder than my heart at that time, I kicked the door of our bedroom open and ran to the hospital that was near our palace, the most stressful 20 minutes of my life, when I reached the hospital and entered its hall, I just screamed “HELP HER!”, tears running down my face, five nurses appear pushing a stretcher, after I laid her on it they ran, pulling the stretcher with them, after ten minutes, only Karov, that was twenty and already had his tattoos, appeared, said that the younger ones didn’t needed to see what was happening, after 15 minutes, one of the nurses, a young stallion, his face couldn’t be worse, then he tossed the ball that made the strike, My Queen, My Wife, My only love was dead, I returned to our palace and locked myself for an entire week, I heard knocking, changelings came to my door calling my name.
“Could you take that mask of sadness and talk to me?” –With that, Luna broke my remembering.
“Well, of what you want to talk?”
“Our frontiers.”
“I bet that you are talking about our never ending wars.”
“Yes, Nightmare and I were discussing about this and we noticed that this war is, well, dumb.”
“Dumb, you, of all beings existing in Equus, you use the word dumb to describe something?”
“Well, we aren’t between our populations, so, there is no purpose on using difficult words, and let me explain why this frontier war is dumb, like how gamma waves oscillate, the Darkness Kingdom conquer and loses equal amounts of land from and to the Xenoling Hive, the only thing that changes is the number of deaths, always increasing.” -50 years of this and only one dream was needed to see this, I am such an idiot.
“I see, I suggest a peace agreement, I give you something you want and vice versa.”
“Problem is, you might have things we want, but we may don’t have anything you want, king Liensis.”
“Oh, Luna, there is no need to call me of that, but, you are wrong, there is things that we want, do you remember the raids your army did to the Kilohive of Skaro, that hive was home to an artifact very important to us.”
“You mean that tube with the fail experiment?”
“That’s not a fail experiment, the thing inside the tube is a being that we found dead in one of the excavations for iron, our researcher said its structure was similar to the changelings, we were going to resurrect him, but your army appeared and we lost him, its better that it isn’t dead.”
“No, the creature is alive and contained in an aquarium in one of our military bases, and yes, it can change almost like your changelings.”
“Its good to know that it is alive, but, what do you mean by almost?”
“Well, it can change to mimic other creatures, but it just make scary versions of the creatures, and the creature can’t be bigger than itself.”
“So, its limitation is the size of a dog.”
“Yes, when we tried to make him mimic bigger beings, it would try to mimic, but, it would fell unconscious.”
“So, now it’s your turn to choose what you may want.”
“Ten of your big flying machines.”
“Well, there are various types of the flying machines.”
“The ones with two big fans on the top.”
“Oh, the Helicopter Carriers, but why?
“Well, I want to rejoice with my sister and unite Equestria again.”
“Eh? Why would you like to reunite Equestria? They are nothing compared to the Darkness Kingdom!”
“Well, I bet that Celestia feel very lonely without me at her side and it’s very difficult to meet her while you are between us.”
“Well, it wasn’t I that choose the location of the first hive, but, I will hand will some of them, and some pilots.”-I saw in her eyes that she was thing of me betraying her. “Calm down, there is no plot to destroy neither you nor Celestia, if there was, I could’ve killed her when she was reuniting with me hours ago.”
“What? You had a meeting with her?” –Luna was surprised about that.
“Yes, she wanted more farmlands.”
“And, I bet you asked for the Seed, didn’t you?” –She elevated a fore hoof to hold her laugh, which was one that only fillies talking about colts can do, what? My daughters always had friend meetings! And yes this is my try to break the fourth wall, sorry.
“Of course I did, and by how she exited my Panoramium, I finally got it.” –Her hoof fallen as fast as her expression changed, from a playful filly to a monotone mare, not like a ‘don’t a fuck’ mare like Maud Pie, she only laughed when I invited her to a little special forces squadron I as making, of course I would turn her into a changeling that can show emotions and have a mind, like how all of my changelings are, one or two are still auto drones, but what can I do.
“What? Could you repeat that?”
“Of course, tomorrow I will meet with Celestia and she will give me the seed of the Tree of Harmony and I will give her enough farmlands that would make Equestria grow again, and thinking of that, after my Hive engulf that region I shall give you some of my land, you know, I some times use the most important law of Alchemy, the Law of the Equivalent Exchange.”
“Oh Tia! When you hand me the Helicopter Carriers, I will personally slap my sister! And going back to when you said that you would give me them, why you will give me your pilots too?”
“Well, even that your soldiers know how to drive those War Balloons so incredibly, they might not know how to drive Helicopters, those have very delicate and precise instruments, pardon me for being Rarity and saying this things about you soldiers, but, I don’t want such barbaric ponies handling my things.” –before I talked like Rarity, I kind of assumed a posh pony pose.
“You are pardoned, and how you changed your head and voice to Rarity’s?”
“Well, even that I am in a room talking to you, we are still in my dreams.”
“Oh, I think I forgot about that.”
“Well, anything more that we need to discuss?”
“No, you may go back to your bed hugging your real size Chrysalis plush.”
“Wait, but wasn’t Fluttershy that I was hugging?”
“Well, when you started to dream she was already sleeping and I saw her thoughts about your hopes being smashed after you, possibly, dreaming about cuddling or sleeping with Chrysalis, so, she woken up and put a doll of Chrysalis on her place.”
“Oh, and is it serious that time in the dreaming land is faster? We spoke for only 10 minutes!”
“Yes, time here is faster, so goodbye.”
“Well, till my next dream Queen Luna, maybe next time Nightmare would join us.”
“No, she doesn’t like to invade dreams, so, no.”
After she said that, I wake and like she said I was hugging a real sized Queen Chrysalis doll.
Author's Note
Real One: A Kilohive, in Liensis' terms, is a Hive with 100.000+ changelings, it works kinda like bits to Yottabytes, just add a zero after the last, use this graph to see what byte is better or worse.
