After feeding the royal guards to the timber wolves, Whaehonah figured it was time to get away from the pony population. She remembered that the changeling hive was no longer a bad place, so she decided to see if they could give her a place to stay. Whaehonah drove to the changeling kingdom, but she was unaware of what was following her. Something popped out of the ground in front of the car, there was no thinking about what it was, she had read about this thing before and knew that it was a maulwurf. Whaehonah immediately backed the car up, got out and quickly thought about what she could do to get it out of her way. Something came to mind, but it was pretty stupid. She flew right into its mouth and started eating it from the inside out, when the maulwurf was finally dead, she got out of it and went back to the car, she was stopped though. A changeling flew over to see what was going on.

“I heard something screeching in pain. What happened here?” The changeling said looking at Whaehonah

“That maulwurf attacked me, I did what needed to be done.” She replied pointing at the dead maulwurf carcass

“Wow! How did you do that?” The changeling said in shock

“I ate it’s vital organs.” She answered

“That thing has been after our hive for a while now, I must congratulate you. I’m Pharynx by the way.” The changeling said introducing himself

“I’m Whaehonah, nice to meet you.” She replied

“Come on, you must meet our leader.” Pharynx replied

Whaehonah got in the car and followed Pharynx to the hive, when she got next to the hive, she shut the car off and followed Pharynx to see the leader of the changelings.

“This is my brother Thorax, he’s the leader of the changelings.” Pharynx said introducing Whaehonah to the leader

“Nice to meet you, I’m Whaehonah.” She said introducing herself

“Hi Whaehonah.” Thorax replied

“So, did you find out what that noise was Pharynx?” Thorax asked his brother

“Yes, that’s why I brought this pony in, she eliminated our maulwurf problem for good.” Pharynx announced

Thorax was shocked at the news. He couldn’t believe his ears. The pegasus that was standing in front of him killed the maulwurf?

“This is great! How did you do it?” Thorax said

“I flew into its mouth and ate its vital organs.” She answered

“Well even though it was a gross tactic, it worked, and we can finally live without fear of the maulwurf.” Thorax said congratulating Whaehonah

“How can we ever repay you?” Pharynx asked

“I just need a place to stay.” She replied

“Well, you’ll like it here, we have so many fun things to do.” Thorax said granting permission for Whaehonah to stay at the hive.

Whaehonah was shown a place that was perfect for her, she was amazed at the sight, it was beautiful, natural and the bed was comfortable.

“Oh, one more thing, we also have a group that lets you talk about your feelings and problems without being judged.You can join it any time.” said Thorax

“Thanks.” She replied with a smile

“The group starts in a few minutes, feel free come sit down.” Thorax said giving her the location in the hive

Whaehonah walked around the hive a bit, she met a changeling that had a few things in common with her, they both had a good conversation all the way to the group session.

“So you didn’t have such a good first day of school either huh?” The changeling asked

“No, it was horrible, they teased me like crazy about my sharp teeth, razor tooth being their favorite name to call me.” Whaehonah replied

“Well, my first day was a disaster, this chancellor was so mean to me and four others I met. I’m Ocellus by the way.” The changeling said introducing herself

“Well it’s nice to meet you Ocellus. I’m Whaehonah.” She replied

The two made it to the group and sat down for the session. The host gave the opening speech.

“Welcome to the vent community, here you can talk about your feelings, problems and say a little about yourself, the only rule is to do it calmly.” said the host

Whaehonah had a good feeling about this group, maybe she could get some things off her chest and possibly receive a little advice if possible. The host pointed to her.

“Let’s start with you. What’s your name?” The host said starting the session

“I’m Whaehonah, I have some problems but they don’t involve the changeling kingdom.” She said

“They don’t have to involve the hive or the changelings, we’re listening.” Said the host

“I’ve been through a lot of bad things and done some bad things, I’ve thought about it a good while, but in the past, I’ve killed and ate ponies. I was angry at them and lost my mind, I don’t know why but it happened.” She explained

“Sounds like you do regret your actions in a way. Maybe next time you start getting angry like that, you should just walk away and take some time to cool off before things go too far.” The host commented

Whaehonah thought for a minute about what the host said.

“That may have helped me a lot.” Whaehonah replied

“Yes, next time you should try that, it’s helped many of us.” The host said before going on to the next client

After the group was over, Whaehonah and Ocellus went to hang out and get to know each other more, the two had a great time together, forming a great friendship and even sharing stories from when they were younger. Ocellus was surprised at the story Whaehonah had, but Ocellus had one that surprised Whaehonah just as much.

“So you’re saying that this filly, Cozy Glow, almost drained all the magic from equestria.” Whaehonah said in shock

“Yes, but me and my friends managed to stop her.” Ocellus replied

“These other friends must be amazing. I never really had any friends as a filly.” Whaehonah said lowering her head

“That’s alright, I already consider you a friend.” Ocellus replied putting a hoof on Whaehonah’s chin

“Thanks. I’m glad we met, it’s nice to talk to someone who is willing to listen.” She said giving Ocellus a smile

“Tomorrow, I’ll introduce you to my other friends. You’ll like them, I just don’t know about one of them since she got injured in Canterlot.” Ocellus replied

Whaehonah immediately started to wonder about this friend who got injured in Canterlot.

“Who got injured in Canterlot?” She asked

“Her name is Smolder, she’s a dragon.” Ocellus answered

“I think I’ve met her. Is she an orange dragon?” She asked

“Yes. What’s wrong? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” Ocellus replied in concern

“Maybe I have seen a ghost.” She said

“Are you the one she told me about?” Ocellus asked

“Did she tell you what happened?” She asked

“Yes, that a purple pegasus hit her with something called a car and later in the hospital, almost died because of a broken heart.” Ocellus said, noticing Whaehonah’s head going back down

“That was me.” She said looking at the ground

They talked about the situation for a while before they both got tired and made their way back into the hive. Whaehonah went to the room that was given to her and went to bed. It didn’t take long for her to get to sleep due to how soft the bed was, it would be the best night she had in years.

Author's Note

I don’t want to see anything in the comments about shipping or anything else about Whaehonah and Ocellus. It’s just a friendship.
