I WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH!
"I-I'm l-listening" Ocellus jumped on her bed to listen to what her king and headmare have to say about her past. But on the other hoof, she was very scared of what they want to say to her.
"It did not happen so long ago … One year ... In my castle … I invited Thorax for a conversation with tea" Twilight was shaking when she talked about what happened this time.
"Would you ask for one more cup of tea your highness?" Twilight asked the king of changelings with a warm smile on her muzzle.
"Everything for you Mis- … I mean PRINCESS Sparkle" he gave back his smile, raising teacup so that Twilight can pour it from the kettle.
Twilight, using her magic, picked up the kettle and slowly poured into his cup. This was the second time Twilight invited him to his castle. Although she did not show it, she felt better when she was sitting next to him. She also knew from her dragon Spike that his friend Thorax liked tea, and did not like being lonely. She also did not know that Thorax also felt better when he was sitting in front of a purple mare.
It was dark enough outside. Thorax, after seeing what the weather is like, he said.
"I think I should return to my kingdom … It's so dark now … Pharynx will be angry if he will need to replace me for night " he stepped closer to the window, seeing the moon on the sky.
"You can stay whole night in my castle … " Twilight suggested "If you really want of course" she tried to hide a smile on her purple muzzle .
"I don't see any problems to NOT stay overnight" he looked at his Purple alicorn friend
"So follow me my king" she jumped up the stairs and looked back to make sure that Thorax would follow her, and that he would not get lost.
After going through several long corridors, Twilight finally found her room.
"Ladies first" he stepped back a little, just to hear a giggle from his marefriend.
"You forgot who this castle belongs to"
After entering her room. Twilight took a pillow and a quilt from the cabinet. She inflated the mattress in the size of her guest and put it on the floor.
"You will sleep here, the mattress should be warm and comfortable enough for tall and kind changeling king like you" she looked down at her "work".
"Thank you for that you let me stay the night in your castle … It is very rare for me to spend a night in somepony's house"
"It's no problem my friend … " she smiled to him. "I rarely have guests"
"W-What d-does this story have to do with m-me?" Ocellus asked with dissapointment in her voice. "In your story, there is no mention of my n-name!"
"Ocellus … please … just give Twilight the chance to finish this story" Thorax looked at the female drone with annoyed tone.
"H-how???? She just changes the subject with this story" Ocellus made her headmare sad because of these words.
Twilight was frightened of her behavior, but was more afraid of her reaction after learning the truth.
"OCELLUS! Please … " The changeling king tried to sound calm,
"F-fine … " Ocellus with lidded eyes looked at Twilight to continue.
"As I said … " Twilight continued
"It's no problem my friend … " she smiled to him. "I rarely have guests"
"Do you want to eat something?" she asked taking out a few daisy sandwiches from the cupboard. "I prepared them for the night in case I did not want to go to the fridge for food"
"Y-yes … p-please ... I'm very hungry after this tea" Thorax took one of them with his magic, and slowly began to eat.
For Twilight, Thorax looked very, very sweet, when he ate his sandwich. Twilight, looking around, also began to eat her sandwich, after a while, seeing that her guest had dirty his face.
She giggled.
The King of the changelings, not knowing what happened, looked around the room.
"S-something w-wrong Princess?" he looked around.
"I did not know you have a beard Thorax" she smirked unable to stop her laughing.
"v-very ... funny" he laughed "Where are the tissues to wash it off?" he looked around the cabinets
"Don't worry i'll help you" Twilight came closer to tall changeling, and began to lick his muzzle, where there were places after sandwiches.
After feeling the saliva on his exoskeleton face, he felt like in heaven. Thorax, unable to stand the moment, began to kiss Twilight all over her head until he reached her mouth. Their tongues met and fight together for domination, but it was Twilight's tongue who won this tournament.
Thorax pushed Twilight onto the bed, as he started kissing her neck, and mouth again.
"Be my queen for now Miss Sparkle" he whispered into her ear.
"N-no … Be my prince Thorax …" she bited his ear, making him gasp.
"I like your acting P-PRINCESS …" he covered himself and Twilight with a quilt.
Next Day
Thorax yawned and opened his eyes. The high shock for him was that he did NOT sleep on the mattress … He SLEEPED with Princess Twilight Sparkle. However, the biggest shock for him was when he saw that SHE was looking at him too. They both gasped. It was at this time when Ocellus was begotten.
"I SHOULDN'T BE HERE!" They both shouted in shock.
"We did not know what got into us ... It happened so suddenly" The changeling king said with shame in his voice.
"I had to hide my pregnancy for 11 months so that my family would not know about it" she sighed "There were spells for changing the shape of the stomach. I, as Alicorn, had access to such spells like this one"
Ocellus was shocked and looked at her king
"Is … Is … " she cannot finish her sentence.
Thorax nodded with sad expression.
"That's true … " he said.
"I gave birth to you on my bed … Without family, friends, or Thorax … without nopony" she began to cry "I still have blanket stained in our blood after your birth." she sighed "It would be terrible to wash away the symbol of giving life"
"You're lying … " Ocellus tried to not think about it
"I would not be able to do it alone with the child ... that's why I gave you away for Thorax" she looked at Ocellus "You're also was born as changeling with powerful alicorn powers… you are growing faste-"
"YOU'RE LYING" Ocellus cried into her pillow
"Ocellus p-please listen to-" Thorax tried to say something.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"D-DAUGHT-" Twilight came closer to weeping drone.
"P-PLEASE N-NO MORE L-LIES!" Ocellus hid her head under pillow which made her look adorable.
"Thorax is still loving you!" Twilight tried to say something positive.
"No one loves me ... I am an unwanted foal!"
"I LOVE YOU TOO. LISTEN TO US FOR ONCE!" Twilight cried making Ocellus look at her.
Ocellus had never seen her mother so upset.
"You are my only daughter. If I never slept with Thorax, I would never give birth to you!"
"W-what d-do y-you m-mean?" The cyan drone asked, sounding incomprehensible.
Twilight swallowed her saliva.
"That means I would never establish The School of Friendship … "
For Ocellus, everything was clear now.
Twilight created The School of Friendship for HER.
Ocellus slowly got up and walked over to Twilight, unexpectedly hugging her.
"M-mommy … Forgive me for ruining y-your l-life … I d-don't deserve t-to be called y-your d-daughter" she was ashamed to look into her mother's eyes
"S-sshhh … It's o-okay s-sweetie … It's n-not y-your f-fault" Tears were running down the purple mare's cheeks
Thorax as a father joined the hug.
"T-that m-means w-we are … a f-family?" Ocellus asked with a smile.
The cyan drone always looked beautiful with a smile.
"Yes … my daughter ..."

Special Chapter: The Birth
The purple mare finally caught a breath, after a few hours of grunting and pushing. The blanket on which she laid was covered with a stain of her blood.
The process through which she passed was very painful, but it was not the most important thing for her.
The most important thing for her was the creature she had brought into the world.
If you could have a look, you would see a small cute organism laying underneath Twilight's tail. So small that it could easily fit into the hoof of a normal pony.
The newborn had a cyan exoskeleton, its wings were pink and head was decorated with a beautiful twisted horn.
Under no circumstances, It was not a pony.
Twilight seeing her newborn pride like that, began to desperately nuzzling it.
It did not help. The infant, without any sign of life, laid rigidly on the blanket.
Twilight's eyes were filled with panic.
"Please…" the purple mare whispered, being close to tearing up. "Do not leave me like that"
The small creature did not answered anything, still lying motionless.
"N-no" the purple mare unable to withstand the pressure, began to sob.
It was too much for her to hold.
She looked at her newborn child with the last scraps of strength, to remember how it started.
"I SHOULDN'T BE HERE!" Thorax and Twilight both shouted in shock, quickly jumping out of the bed on which they both were laying.
Their eyes quickly covered with pillows, with their cheeks flushing.
They stood like that for a few minutes, until the purple mare looked at him.
"Have we done THIS?" she asked shakingly. "On my bed?"
The changeling king took the pillow off his eyes, and gulped.
"I.. I DON'T KNOW!"
Twilight looked around with beads of sweat falling from her head
She looked at him with in shock.
"Do changelings has any common feature, regarding having offspring?" she asked, but this time, pretending to be calm.
Thorax gently tapped his head, to remember something.
The changeling king thought for a few minutes until he got a sense of revelation.
"I have heard that male changelings emit a purple substance from their bodies, when they're making out with females"
Twilight stepped closer to her bed, Almost without vomiting, she removed the quilt from it.
She quickly stepped back with a look of disgust.
The entire lower half of her bed, or more accurately the cloth was covered with a thick purple smear.
"Princess Twilight… I didn't meant to..." Thorax, also feeling disgusted and ashamed about his weird hormones, tried to explain, but the purple male unexpectely smiled at him.
"No worries" she giggled. "I was supposed to wash this bedding yesterday, but I forgot"
Thorax sighed with a relief, wiping the sweat off his head. "I thought you would hate me"
"I would not have the heart, to be angry at you for that" she sighed. "We all do not control our hormones"
"It looks like I went a little crazy" he laughed about it, but after a while his muzzle returned to a shocked expression. "Do you remember what we did yesterday?"
Twilight, also concerned about her actions, shaked her head.
The purple mare sat on the floor, and caught her head trying to remember what happened previous day. Thorax moved closer, and all he did was sit down next to her.
"Does something appear to you in this multitude of thoughts?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. "Do you recall anything?"
"Let me think!" Twilight only grumbled angirly.
But she saw something. Sparks of memory were coming back to her.
"Wait… I see something" she grunted in a quieter tone.
The changeling king with a surprised look, raised his right ear. "What is it?"
Twilight squeezed her head harder.
"I remember… that I ate a hay sandwich for breakfast"
Thorax sighed, and covered his lavender eyes with his left hoof.
"I do not think that this memory is very important"
"I think you're right" the purple mare concentrated more on her thoughts.
The changeling king came closer to her, and whispered.
"Focus on what you did later"
Twilight nodded, and investigated more of her memory.
"Tell me what we did yesterday"
For Twilight a more visible picture of her memory began to appear.
"I remember… I invited you for a tea…" The purple mare said, still focusing on the visible image in front of her.
Thorax slowly closed his eyes in recollection "Yes, I do recall that"
"I remember… It was raining and you complained about your brother" Twilight continued.
The tall green changeling uncontrolably blushed, when he started to remember more.
"One could say that"
"I see something else… You decided to stay at my place for the night"
"I remember it" Thorax slowly stepped back, having more parts of memory.
Twilight removed the hooves from her head and looked at the changeling.
"I remember!" she shouted with a shock.
"You remember what?" the changeling king asked.
"E-everything" she said in a trembling voice, still looking with horrified eyes at the tall changeling.
Thorax moved closer to the terrified mare, kneeling close to her.
"I c-could not control m-myself… I.." Twilight began to break down slowly.
"What have you seen" The changeling king felt anxious.
Twilight looked at him, with tears in her eyes.
"We were kissing eachother and..."
"Please do not finish this sentence!" Thorax finally remembered what she meant.
The changeling king hugged the terrified purple alicorn, and tried to cheer her up.
"Shh… Everything is gonna be ok" he smiled. "Just promise, we will keep this secret for ourselves?"
"I promise" she nodded.
She actually kept the promise.
Twilight still despairing, heard a uneven cough next to her.
The purple mare was not able to move after labor, so she turned her eyes to where she heard it.
The infant, which she gave birth to earlier, tried to get up.
Twilight, despite a weakness, did not hide her shock.
Her baby was actually alive.
The young mother, using her magic, raised the little changeling and stopped it in front of her eyes to get a better look at the little being.
The small creature only looked at her mother, with a dark blue eyes, when she checked the gender of the infant.
"A girl" Twilight whispered. "How beautiful"
The infant only growled with questioning look.
"Your eyes are beautiful" the purple mare smiled. "Just like your father"
The mother's idea came with a name, only looking at the eyes of her child. She knew many languages from her experience, but one specific language remained her favourite.
Latin.
"Welcome in the world…" Twilight smirked. "...My Ocellus…"
