As the sun sets

   She remembered in great detail. She had just discovered an eternal life spell. She was going to show Starswirl, when she found him performing dark magic. Quickly she tried to stop him, when instead she cast the wrong spell. Setting him into a state of grotesque transformation. And the screams. She snapped out of it. Tears swiftly streaming down her face, as she looked over her happy little kingdom.

   Chrysalis stood over her subjects finishing her explaining. “This shall be the perfect invasion!” She yelled her face curving into a hideous smile. “And Equestria’s fate will rest uncomfortably in the frog of my hoof! And that insolent little Twilight Sparkle will pay for what she has done!”. Cackling pursued. “This plan is just amazing. Celestia will go to Tartarus, Luna will be my little pet. And my sweet children will get a feast. Plus, that cute stallion Shining Armor will be all mine. Hmm? What if I go ahead and see what happens when a changeling has a pony’s foal?” She thought aloud, causing another round of wicked cackling. “And no pony will know. For I will take over and rule as Celestia.  And I am sure that Shining would do anything for his princess. Oh this is getting better and better!”. She said her head continuing to fill will nefarious ideas.

   Celestia kept filing through treasured memories. Including when her younger sister Luna was freed from her jealousy. Or the time Celestia was teaching her little sister how to raise the moon. Luna was the most important thing to Celestia. She was all she had back when their parents had been killed. They were the only alicorns left after the mass extinction. And back then the ponies hated alicorns. Always shunned them as show offs who’s magic would destroy everything. Celestia started to cry remembering when her and Luna just sat in between those two rocks. Waiting months for their father to return and tell them everything was alright and that they could come out now. But, they had died only weeks before. She then remembered how they stayed in hiding for 500 or so years. When alicorns became just a fable to tell foals as a bedtime story. Then they were discovered, an ivory filly with both wings and a horn, and her sister a spring-star-flower blue filly who wore the same rare features as her big sister. They were taken in by the most powerful pony in the land, Starswirl. Her thoughts were interrupted as Luna strolled in to raise the moon.

   A low buzz rung in chrysalis’s ears, as the entire nest of changelings flooded toward Canterlot in a large swarm. “That old hag will not foresee this! She wouldn’t see a fly coming!” Chrysalis laughed maniacally. Just over the mountain, and the great invasion would begin.

  Celestia was shaken awake. Her pink eyes opened and her slender neck lifted her head. Around her stood four guards, a servant, and her sister. “Princess, a large black mass is floating toward canterlot!” The servant screamed in panic. “Yes, and it resembles changelings.” A pegasus guard said adding to the mare’s statement. Celestia leaped up and trotted to the balcony. Luna joined her.

“What are we to do sister?” She asked worriedly. “I don’t know.” Celestia responded examining the mass. “But I know who might.” Celestia said, turning around, galloping to her desk. She picked up a quill and started writing on nearby parchment. Once done she rolled up the parchment and using her magic sent it to her faithful student Twilight Sparkle, in ponyville.
