Queen Chrysalis woke up. Well she began the process of waking up. It was slower and more painfull than usual. While her consciousness was reluctantly willing to return, along with the opening of her eyes, all she could see was a pitch black darkness. Not much of a problem with her powers; she'd just charge her horn for a bit, and she have seen where this place was. But a jolt of pain made her head hurt and failing the magical concentration, followed quickly by the understanding that she was tied up, even her wings, by a long and thick rope. At least, that was she thought it was, judging by the rough feeling on her legs and body. Reflexively, she tried to struggle to get free, but found that it wouldn't bulge an inch. Then, as she began to wake up, she noticed many things at once. She was tied to a rock. On the base of her horn, there was the feeling of a metallic ring: a magic suppressor, undoubtedly! She was gagged with a cloth that tasted like blood. It was hard to tell just yet, but she may have been missing some teeth. And, even more terrifying, che couldn't even trasform herself to escape from the ligaments!
Chrysalis snapped her eyes wide open to try to see something amid the darkness that could help her in understanding where she was. Nothing. It was like she ended into a place where not even a speck of light was allowed to enter, a complete void, beside herself and the rock she was tied.
Panic was starting to worm its way into the ex-changeling queen really fast, and she was showing it by starting to sweat and jerking her head left to right, hoping to see an escape from all that black, and struggling even more to break free.
Then, she heard a sound: steps. They sounded to come from every direction, and strangely enough, they were mismatched: one soundend like an hoof that touched and hard surface, the other was softer and preceded by a soft ticking. And it was the sound of only two steps repeated! So, whatever was making this rumor was bipedal. And the only creature that was bipedal and could make a mismatched sound that Crhysalis knew was...
"Why, hello Chryssy!"
A limelight appeared from nothing, showing at the changeling a figure that stepped out from the dark to stand before her. It was the Lord of Chaos himself, Discord! The damned buffoon that sided with those hateful ponies, and that was particularly close with the bearer of the Element of Kindness, arriving to invade her previous hive, with that cursed Starlight Glimmer and the traitor usurper Thorax, to save her.
"I am glad that you found the time to come to this private tea party." Discord seemed to show no emotion as he spoke. "After you fleed from our last encounter, I was waiting for see you again!"
This was confusing for Chrysalis. What this lunatic was talking about?
"Yes. I really wanted to thank you, you know?" The draconequus walked around the bound changeling, talking with that calm, so uncharacteristical of him, voice, without making any strange and illogical thing in the meanwhile. Just talking. Nothing else.
"You are the second creature that achieved the incredible task to make me feel something that I haven't felt for millenia! The first is obviously the dear Fluttershy, the one that opened my heart to friendship and love and harmony..." Discord waved his lion paw to make some little, cute animals appear around him. They snuggled on his legs for a bit and then vanished.
The queen didn't have any idea where this monologue was going. But that didn't mean tha she wasn't growing worried about why she was there in those conditions.
"You, on the other page, made me feel an emotion that rarely occurs in my mind. It was buried under thousands and thousands of thoughts and other things that I keep there. Something that if unleashed, it could easily bring very bad things... Rage!" His face was directly on the muzzle of the changeling, in a way that she could see his pupils trasforming in cat-like slits and starting to glow menacily. Now his voice took a more growling sound, and the same darkness that was surrounding them started to "tremble", as if the dark itself was fearing the Chaos Lord. The royal changeling was feeling a bit startled by this change in his attitude, but she got to not show it. She was a queen! She doesn't tremble in fear, not even before powerful enemies. And it was Discord that was talking. What could be his worst? To tranform her into a mosquito? To take away her wings and horn? She'd found the way to survive to get her revenge, for she was the most cunning being in Equestria.
"You foalnapped the one creature that is the most precious to me, substitued her with one of your bugs, imprisoned her in one of your disgusting cocoons in the only place where my magic doesn't work." Discord backed some steps, to let his prisoner watch his whole figure, that it was slowly but steadly growing bigger and rougher, as is voice was closing to shouting and gaining an echo.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF HOW MISERABLE THAT MADE ME FEEL?! TO KNOW TO HAVE THE POWERS TO SAVE YOUR FRIEND AND YET NOT BEING ABLE TO??!"
The air seemed to explode in the wake of the draconequus' wrath. The reality was feeling the pure raging power that he released and it was scared by it! That was the real extent of Discord's power, the real power of a literal god.
If Chrysalis was putting a brave face before, now it was crumbled, showing plenty of primal fear and despair in her eyes. If she was ungagged, she'd screamed in terror as it was no tomorrow. She understood that what Discord was pallning to do, it was something completly different from everything he ever done in centuries!
"SO YOU NOW UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'VE DONE, HM? YOU SHOULD REALIZED IT BEFORE! NOW, IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO PAY! AS THE GOOD PINKIE WOULD SAY: LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!!!"
With a snap of his claw, the cloth in Chrysalis mouth disappeared, letting her express her fear in a primal and insensical scream, while the Chaos God's paw started to close upon her, swalloving everything in darness once again...
