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.
