The Long road for love and life book one

As I walked the halls of the hive I felt more and more like myself as I started to remember myself, as I proceeded along the winding corridors and hall ways, I thourt about what Penny and Jenny had said. I also thought about Luna and how she seemed to know more about these dreams than I or any other changeling, I also started to wounded what my purposes is in life was? everyone in the hive has a permanent job so why am I different? These thoughts ran through my mind not given up any answers or clues to the answers that I longed for.

When another thought placed itself in my mind out of nowhere, it was that town I had in my previous dream, it was giving me the strangest feelings which had accompanied it, a feeling of love and of purpose, as I had this in my mind my heart felt like there was a hole in it, i felt as helpless, as when I was but a little nymph seeing the world for the first time.

I thought more and more about mother and how lonely she was and also how happy I had made her which seemed to be longer than it was, my heart agreed with a fluttering warmth which went from my heart up through my reserves and continued towards my head, but it did not stop as it surged like an unstoppable forces of power towards my horn which responded to it,

but I only focuses on that moment, then I was engulfed in a bright white light, the next thing that I knew I was inside a tunnel of pure light moving at speed, but I still had that memory clearly in my heart, than just as it began it stopped, as I found myself standing in front of the entrance to mothers chamber.

I did not have long to ponder on what had happened as a series of hisses and clicks along with shreks broke me from my wonderment, I turned to see my hatch mates panicked clear on there faces, "what, what are you where did you come from!!" One of them said in vespid, he was clearly older than me and a member of the royal garde.

This countied with multiple changelings speaking in equestrian and vespid with all their voices blurring together into a chorus of the damned, I say the damned because of the emotional state of my family group, there was anger and fear but the one I will never forget was pure hate unbridled along with fear,

I could barely move from the onslaught of negative waves emanating from them the ones who I thought loved me, a wave of shame washed over me, which was only broken by one voice, the only voice that could stop this pain. "LEAVE HIM ALONE OR ANSWER TO ME!!! The voice boomed, its very presence was a gift, the best way that I can described it would be like being on the Battlefield of war and seeing reinforcements coming in to join the theater of war, you regain your strength and determination to continue.

"COME HERE CHILD" the voice boomed again it sank in as to whom the voice belong to, it was mother. I promptly left my brethren behind still in shock and oar, as I entered I felt no fear and proceeded towards her, I was not smiling as much as I would like to deny it as the shock of this endeavour was clear on my face.

I quickly proceed towards her "It would appear that I have underestimated you little Paul, I was expecting you to master the basics of magic, but not the advanced forms for another few months at least, to say I am shocked is an understatement to say the least, you are only twenty eight ". She gave a motherly smile along with a laugh.

"mother why am I different from the rest of my siblings?" I asked in a I am sorry tone. She turned from laughter to coursaty "what do you mean my dear Paul? If this is about before I am sure they were confused, I am not sure if they thought they were going to be attacked or if I was going to be" she said Still studying the little changeling before her, she could feel a emotional war being waged within him, she also felt a longing for home, that would be the best way to describe it, she also knew about his little crush and what had happened to her, but she did not have long to ponder on this how ever as the little one spoke.

"Everyone has a place in the hive but...I... do not, when I go to sleep I sometimes see a strange creature in my dreams she looks like this" then with a green flash of flames her little one had turned into a blue female pony with wings and a horn,

mother instantly turns her head towards the carvings on the wall to the two alicorns depicted on it and then back to her son, she noticed the shape of the moon on his flank, and then back again to the carven, she knew of the story but the alicorns depicted on the wall were a male and a female, but the markings on the female were different from the one her son had on, maybe the story's were more true than she used to think, maybe he was the one brave and both strong enough and smart enough for her dreams of an alliance to become true like in the times of old.

"What does she say to you?" She asked as gently as possible as only a mother could. With another green flash of flames he returned to his true form and began to explain about Luna and how she had asked him if he knew of Chrysalis, she knew that they were different hives out there but she also knew that not all would want the same type of peace that she wanted for her children.

She wanted to be able to traded with the other races, but needed animosity or a diplomat. She paid more attention to the part about how he was practically given an invitation. "So you want to know what your role is in the hive." She pursed than continued after working out how to explain it to him. "Please understand my dear that you do not have a role in the hive like the rest, (she pointed to the carvings on the walls with a hoof) you see long ago before my time a great evil tried to enslave our world, so the different factions and races banded together to fight for their own children's, children's right to be free from enslavement and free to love whoever they want to for love without persecution .

Our hive was involved along with the other races depicted on the wall, some of them never recovered from the battle, as the evil had split families, infact the leaders of the ponies give there own lives to defeat it, we or I know most of there species names but I did not think that the alicorns had served. You have told me that you want to know what your job is? it is to be an ambassador for the hive, do you think you could do that my little one?" mother said "But wouldn't I have to leave the hive?" I said with Curiosity in my voice. She nodes before continuing "you will be given six loc-love crystals I take it that you know of them and how to use them?"

"Yes I do, you need to keep them covered when not in use as they use the light of the sun and the moon to regain there power, and they can not be moved as they become more fragile when charging, when they are empty you need to leave them for at least eight hours to fully charge and when they are you need to cover them over and let them settle for about half an hour before using them as they become volatile, and each cristal once changed has enough power to feed a changeling for a week and three days, or nine days of constant feeding or longer if taking in moderation, but can be drained entirely if needed for healing, but the maximum of two in emergencies depending on the situation."
