The Queen's General
Chapter Ten
Previous ChapterNext ChapterChrysalis walked down a forest path in her armor towards where the supposed meeting would take place. Behind her were Raams two theron guards and other guards.......about a thousand of them armed to the teeth. The guards even had their Jägers with them. It was quite interesting to see the theron guards with Jägers because of the fact they were different than the other ones. Glancing out of the corner of her eye she stared at the two. Scar Jäger was a pitch black one with red eyes. It also seemed like irony had a sense of humor since this Jager was also had a scar exactly in the same place as Scar. Right above the right going down right into it. Glancing over towards Skorge Jager she saw it was.....white completely. To the unseen eye, it would seem this Jager was like the others. She thought that to she saw it display intelligence with Skorge. It seemed like the two knew what the other thought making the two a deadly combo.
Finishing her observation she turned her attention the area around her. It was nothing but trees and trees that seemed to go on and on. She could see that her forces would be able to hide from any pegasus in the sky though it would leave her forces easily targets for a fire if the enemy knew exactly where to hit. 'Which no doubt they would,' Chrysalis thought with a scowl. No doubt this was all a ruse that the ponies were using as a fake peace treaty so they could kill her and end the war. They were underestimating them! This would be their own doing though especially with Raam coming up with a plan of his own. She couldn't help but smile at it.
Thirty minutes ago In the changeling throne room
"What do you mean you are not going?" Chrysalis growled out at her General who simply stood in front of her with his arms crossed staring at her while the two theron guards stood behind him also giving him looks of confusion under their helmets.
"Like I said before no. You and I both know this a trap." Raam spoke with a calm expression on his face staring at his queen.
"Than why do you want me to go by myself then?" Chrysalis asked why still keeping her expression of anger as she stared at her General who said he would serve her yet he was leaving her to go to an ambush by herself. Was he planning on letting her die so he could take over? She honestly doubted it but she doubted it since he had many times where he could easily offer her but didn't. It still didn't explain why he was letting her go by herself unless he had something planned.
"We are going to use this chance 'ambush' of theirs against them," Raam spoke while emphasizing ambush with a mocking tone showing he wasn't even worried about it.
'There it is,' Chrysalis thought in satisfaction as she waved her hand telling the General to discuss his plan.
"When you received that letter.....I had snuck a look at over your shoulder though not enough to know what it say, but I did get where the meeting was taking place in the west of Appleloosa, called death valley. When you told me where we would be going, I ordered the construction of tunnels towards that direction." Raam explained.
"If it turns out to be an ambush," Chrysalis trailed off.
"They will be leading themselves into one." Raam finished with a sadistic smirk which Chrysalis returned with one of her own.
Chrysalis stood up from her throne and walked down towards Raam. Once she was near him she placed a hand on his chest. "Very well planned out, General," Chrysalis spoke as she rubbed his armored chest soothingly. She removed her hand and turned to walk out but was stopped as Raam grabbed her by the shoulder. She glanced back at him to see he had.......worried looks on his face?
"Be careful my Queen. I'm also sending my guard with you." Raam smoke softly.
Chrysalis nodded her head and walked out the throne room doors with a pair of guards. Scar and Skorge glanced at each other and nodded. The two went to walk out but were stopped as Raam turned and reached them in less than a second picking the two up by their necks in each hand holding them in the air. The two stared at the General who was faster than his size with one thought. 'Fast.'
Raam narrowed his eyes at the two causing their eyes to widen in fear though no one could see it, but they were pretty sure Raam was able to. He wasn't choking them, but he did have a strong grip on their necks. "You two will make sure no harm comes to her. Understood?" Raam spoke softly but the threat was still there. The two simply saluted letting Raam know they understood. He let go and the two immediately ran out the doors as if the devil was after them which might as well been. Raam scoffed and turned to walk where the tunnel was being constructed. If he had looked he would have seen Chrysalis standing behind the throne room doors listening to him.
Chrysalis couldn't help but let out a giggle like a high school girl. Her face, however, turned serious. Did Raam have something for her? She would admit she was falling for the General though it could of have just been like that because of how he defeated her enemies and defended her people. She was honestly not sure. She thought more and more on the matter. Perhaps after this she could......what did changelings of this generation call it? Dating. Yes, she will ask him.......has he ever even had a romance interest.
"My Queen. We're here." A guard spoke out causing Chrysalis to break from her train of thought as she stared ahead and wasn't surprised at what she saw. It seemed Celestia and Luna were here along with what appeared the same amount of guards as her own though looks could be deceiving. She walked forward towards what appeared to be a table that out across the middle of the two armies with chairs surrounding it. As she walked forward with Sokorge and Scar behind her, she saw the pony General Tullius next to the two rulers but her attention was focused on the other two. 'Figures those two will be here,' Chrysalis thought with venom as she sat down with Scar and Skorge standing behind her glaring at the ponies. She kept her eyes all them even as they sat down though she saw Cadence and Shining Armor glaring at her from across the table.
"Queen Chrysalis," Celestia spoke with calmness in her voice as if she was speaking to a child causing Chrysalis to grit her teeth but didn't yell back but instead smirked.
"Princess Celestia," Chrysalis spoke back though in a mocking causing the ponies to glare at her except Celestia who simply wore a neutral expression on her face.
"You already know why we're here," Chrysalis didn't speak but simply stared at the Princess. Celestia seeing she didn't speak continued. "We are wanting this war to end."
Chrysalis stared long and hard at Celestia trying to any lie but couldn't find any. "How do you suppose that?"
"By you surrendering completely." Chrysalis stared at Shining Armor who had made that blunt statement causing her Scar And Skorge to growl while gripping their weapons tight in their hand causing bones to pop.
"Excuse me!?"
"You outnumbered Chrysalis. The might of the Equestria will come down upon you. The crystal empire has joined us." Celestia spoke calmly while Chrysalis turned towards the rulers of the crystal empire.
"What do you have to say Cadence?" Chrysalis spoke mockingly.
"I have nothing to say to you monster." Cadence growled.
"You can't win Queen Chrysalis. We have you outnumbered." Tullius spoke calmly while staring at her though his eyes scanned the area all around him looking for......'him.'
Chrysalis scoffed. "You thought you could defeat us before but we defeated your army and took your outpost."
"A slight miscalculation on our plan."
"Slight? Then what about Appleloosa and Baltimare?" Chrysalis taunted with a smirk at Tullius who simply stared at her not falling for her insults.
"You slaughtered innocents!" Shining rose from his chair causing Skorge and Scar to tense as they readied their weapon while the royal guards did as well. The sides glared at one and another waiting for the other to make a move first.
"Enough!" Tullius shouted as he rose from his chair and finally glared at the Queen across the table from him. "You already know this was a trap yet you came here."
Chrysalis smirked at him then spoke. "How does one know when they are defeated but when their plans come crashing down around them in failure?"
Tullius stared at the Queen for what seemed like an eternity then shouted an order. "Attack!"
As the order was yelled, there were sounds of something flying through the air and the answer revealed itself as arrows slammed into the changelings. Tullius drew his sword while Chrysalis had backed away into her army with Scar and Skorge stood in front of her. "Take the Queen dead or alive!"
The two sides let out war cries as the two forces charged towards each other with their weapons drawn and raised. It was quiet until the two slammed into each other. One Jager ripped out the throat of Royal guard but was stabbed into by multiple spears. One Royal guard knocked one changeling down to the ground with his shield and two others thrust their spears down into the changelings chest. Chrysalis stared at the battle that had begun to wage on. Glancing over she saw Shining Armor and Tullius fighting through her ranks of changelings from two opposites sides of the battle. She didn't see the three princesses who probably no doubt ran off. It was time to show these ponies that the changeling are stronger! Glancing towards her side she nodded her head at a changeling who carried a horn who nodded his head. The changeling raised it to his mouth and blew into it causing a loud sound to echo throughout the whole area.
Chrysalis watched as the ground had begun to break apart and soon her horde rushed towards the ponies slamming into them.
Tullius grabbed a changeling and by its chest then dragged his sword across its neck causing blood to begin spill out. Tullius kept his eyes on the hold that more changelings had begun to pour out. He kept cutting through changelings watching for the General to emerge from the hole.

Behind him walked a giant figure who made thuds with every step he took. Raam slowly walked towards Tullius who was unaware of him. Even as the battle raged on his focus remained on the General. He even pointed for changelings behind him towards the other ponies so he could have the pleasure of killing him for himself. Raam began to get closer even as Tullius thrust his sword through one changeling and spun slashing another neck wide open. Tullius stopped as he heard a thud behind him. He turned seeing that thing walking towards him with narrowed eyes. Tullius stared at him then yelled and swung his sword only for Raam to catch it with his right hand. Raam then ripped it out of his hand and kicked him in the chest sending him flying and landing on the ground a few feet away.
Raam stared at him and snorted while also tossing the sword raised and walked towards the downed General. Raam reached the General and grabbed him by the neck raising him up into the air choking him. Raam stared at him then reached behind unsheathing his knife. Shining stabbed through one changeling and glanced over towards Tullius just in time to see him being stabbed by a giant figure.
Tullus grunted in pain even as Raam began pulling his knife out, but Tullius in what appeared to be one last of defiance spat blood onto the General eye causing Raam to flinch back a little but immediately thrust his knife deeper into the Tullius who gurgled before finally falling limp in Raam hand. Raam let out a growl at the dead General then slowly turned his head towards Shining Armor with narrowed eyes with Tullius blood on his right eye. Shining had his mouth open in shock even as Raam shoved Tullius off his knife causing his body to slam into the ground. Raam then cocked his head to the side as if he was mocking the pony and daring to come at him. Shining growled knowing it would be suicide. Turning towards the guards he yelled. "FALL BACK!"
Raam only watched with glee as the cowards ran away though some of them were being cut down. He heard footsteps coming and turned towards it to see Chrysalis with his guards standing behind her. He watched as she walked and stood next to him watching the event unfold. Raam didn't stare at her though he was feeling those feeling he never felt before rise again causing him to growl causing Chrysalis to glance at him. What the hell was he feeling?!
He stopped his train of thought when he felt a hand on his. He glanced down at his queen to see her looking up at him. What is she doing? Chrysalis kissed Raam tenderly on his teeth where his lips would of have been if had any. It was a hesitant kiss like she wasn't sure what his reaction would be. In truth, she wasn't sure.
Raam stood there not really sure of to make this. She stood there for what seemed like minutes before finally removing her lips from his. The two stared at each other not really sure what to do or say. Chrysalis started to have a feeling of dread well up inside her as she stared at him.
Raam stared at his queen with a neutral expression not sure what that was or why she did that. That feeling welled upside him once more though stronger than before. He felt a feeling inside him that was something he never felt before. As he watched her frown he began to feel....sad? he stared at his Queen and suddenly felt as if something possessed him as he pulled her towards him with one arm and brought his mouth down upon her lips. Chrysalis eyes widened before they slowly closed. The two stood there with mouths connected even with the sound of dying around them. They both knew however that the ponies would fall beneath them. LET! THEM! COME!
