The start.
"Are you sure this is a good plan, Twi- I mean princess sparkle? I am programmed to protect you, and this is not safe." I say as we are climbing into the bedroom through the window.
"Of course I am sure, Ares 101. If we find HER diary, we can find out weaknesses and strategies. Now, where could it be?" She says as she search the room with a determined, yet worried look on her face.
While she does that, I am checking if there are any alarm spells. Nope. Nothing.
"Aha! Here it is. Ares, can you find a good place to read it? We can't let her notice that it has been gone."
hmm Let's see. Not under the bed, not under the desk, aha! Got it! "Yes, princess sparkle. The closet over there is a good spot."
We are climbing in, finding a nice, hidden spot behind the dresses.
"Ok, Chrysalis. Let's see what you are hiding." She says as she opens the book.
"Hmm, it is written in some language I don't understand. Ares, do you understand what it stands here?" She asks me.
"Yes. It seems to be in changeling runes." I answer her.
She seems more relaxed as she hears my answer. "Great. Can you read this?"
"Of course."
*day one after the wedding*
"Is everychangeling alright? We need shelter quick before the sun rises!" I yelled.
After the failed attempt to take over Canterlot, we have been banished to this wasteland. Why would anyone banish us here? Not even the princesses are so cold-hearted.
"Most of our changelings are dying, but a few are still alive" Commander buzz informed me.
"Put the dying changelings together, it is time for a funeral for my subjects."
"As you wish, your majesty," Commander bugs said.
"Come over here!" I said to two drones. "Try to find shelter quick. A cave or something. When you have found a good place, come back immideatly!" I ordered them.
They nodded. Our laws says that normal drones are not allowed to speak to the queen.
It is because the queens or the kings are the leaders of the hive. Drones are like the hive's peasants, they do work like scouting, finding love, taking care of babies and such. Sometimes they are in battle but they aren't really good at fighting.
At rare occasions, a female drone is born. They have double-iris eyes with slitted pupils just like my eyes.
Over them are the guards. They protect the hive and are expert fighters. But a female guard can only get two eggs a year.
Over them again are the females. Even female drones have higher rank than the guards. It is written in the law that the females have such a position because they bring life to the hive.
When a female lays an egg, she and the egg must be protected because she is directly connected to the egg and can't move.
Once they had flew away, I went to the dying changelings. I was a bit shocked to find so many of them. Three hundred at least. But I didn't show it. That would mean that I showed weakness. So I started the ceremony by litting up my horn.
"Today, we honor those who died in our failed attempt to take Canterlot! They have shown great courage in battle, and will be honored as true warriors!" I said while I slowly took out the love in them.
"Their last favour to the hive is the love they have stored. It will be put in a pod. We will only feed on it if we are starving!"
I started to make the pod with my magic. "You have fought well for the hive. Rest in peace knowing that you have served the hive well! May Faust have mercy on your souls."
and with their last dying breath, the dying changelings said:
"Long live the queen! Long live the hive!" Then they died. The ceremony was done. Their souls were now on the way to the gods Fausticorn, Meghan Mcpony and M.A Leafson to know if they would go to the light realm or tartarus.
I set the drones to bury the dead changelings.
The drones I had sent out had found a cool cave. In my room, I hid the pod of love. We will probably need it if we run out of love.
I lied down on the warm stone that was my bed and cried for a while. I cried for the dead changeling. I cried for the hive's banishment.
I cried for myself, knowing I had failed to do what I promised my mother. To lead the changelings to greatness.
I can only hope that we will survive here. Hopefully we will get out of this wasteland and find love again. Tomorrow I will send some drones to see if we are close to a pony village or something, and if they can find better shelter. A stone cave is not the right place for a changeling.
But I swear, one day I will get my revenge on the two that sent me here. And especially Twilight Sparkle, the only one that saw through my disguise! I will make her, her friends and the princesses suffer for what they have done!
I bet their love is delicious.
-Yours truly, queen Chrysalis.
