The Long road for love and life book one
Chapter two against the grain
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs I was placed down gently, I found myself wanting to flee from both the empty silence and from the power of the queen, but in the same instances I felt excited and curious, here I was, in a new place and I just wanted to explore, so I did by looking around at first.
the Queen sat on her throne watching the little changeling with a steady motherly look on her face, silently studying the emotional state of the as to be named changeling, at first she felt the little ones fear, as normally happens since he was in the main chamber even her own attendants felt fear in here, but the thourt stopped as she felt the fear melt away from the changeling, to be replaced by what she needed from at least one of her children, a urges to explore and find new lands and maybe new allies she mused, yes her hive was advance, and they could use Cristal's powers by the sun and moon, a gift from the ancient Crystal ponies and their empire the old king and Queen of Equestria had established way before her time, that her great grandmother received for helping them defeat an ancient evil whose name had been lost in the sands of time. The only knowledge that she knew of was that of a mural carved into the stone depicting a violent battle where scores of ponies and changelings died along with many other races.
There was even other creatures some of which were believed to have been wiped out, whose deeds were etched to a high degree of detail made with tools and magic to protect the carvings from time and damage, her favorite were the ones standing on two legs and where the front hooves should be, they had what looked like long sticks and larges scales, they also had square heads and had stranger markings of a cross on their mid sections, now they always intrigued her curiosity as ponies had their cutie marks but each one was unlike the others.
some of the pony's had wings of feathers but some had bat like wings, some had horns and ether had sticks in front of them, others were using magic, but the sands of time...suddenly she was shocked out of her memories by the little changeling climbing up onto her, none had ever been so bold before and non would dare because of the fear they felt, and yet this one seemed not to care!
But this one was strong and bold, See allowed the little one to ries next to her, he just sat their staring into her eyes with a smile on his face, she just looked into his blue eyes and smiled, she could see what others could not a trait past to her by her mother, as she did so she saw determination, honor,and respect, along with a bit of innocent stupidity.
He has a heart of gold she thourt as the little changeling snuggled up to her, she glanced at her daughter who was unable to move due to the fear that she felt either out of the shear power of her or by the fact that this young one done something she always wanted to feel actual freely given love that did not come from a crystal or one of the stupid diamond dogs that kept trying to invade.
this was special. All of her children had strong vespid names but this one was different, and for her plans to come to fruition he will need a vocal name for when he was old enough to go and leave the lands of her domain, suddenly a strange unknown voice seemed to whisper to her.
His name will need to be strong and cunning, it should be wies, it should honor the past promise..
As quickly as it came it left again and just as quickly she forgot the voice
"Your quiet the explore aren't you,(she said with a smile) I think I have a special name for you one that you can use in the wider world, I shall give you a name carved on the these very walls, I will call you Paul".
I still don't really know why I desired to climb up to this being of pure power but something said inside of my heart said that she was lonely and since she is our mother, and that fact just did not seem right. after nurseling up to her I notice Avon looking and standing weird, but when I looked into mother's eyes before getting comfy I saw in her eyes that she needed someone to show her how much she meant to us, and despite the fact that the sheer power could easily rip me apart.
there in her eyes was a great pain that could never be healed by words alone. As I snuggled up to her I could feel her heart beating and each breath that she took, she was strong and proud, I was startled from my state of well ore when she moved, I was not as scared as I should of been as she just giggled and said that I was this and that which kinda made me a bit confused as none of these words were what I needed, I did chirp my confusion but her eyes were almost glazed over, then she spoke with her mouth and said I will call you Paul..
mmm I liked this. "Yes I am PauI" i said along with chirps, up till I found out that I could not say my name in vespid... I wonders why? mother could sense that I liked my name but I could not manage say it in our language, she smiled at me and give me a quick kiss and told me to go back to Avon, which I did do I felt kinda bad for leaving her, so before I got up I said in vespid I love you mom.
