The changeling race has a long history, older than Equestria itself. When Twilight invites Thorax over to document the full history of the changelings, the story presented sends her down a dark rabbit hole. From this, she will learn the tragic origins of Queen Chrysalis, the creatures once known as faelings, and the war between the three pony tribes before the first Hearth's Warming.

In her darkest hour, how far will Chrysalis go to save her kind from the brink of death? And what will be the ultimate cost?

Rated T for moderate violence, death and gore. Inspired by the story of Arthas Menethil from the Warcraft Universe.
