Everfree forest 1:54pm

In the Everfree forest, Alistair Sparkle was seen guiding Spectre to his home known as the Changeling Kingdom. They have been walking for fifteen minutes now and Spectre was getting a bit impatient.

"How many more steps?" Spectre asked in a slight aggravated tone.

The accent of Spectre's voice has sent some chills down to Alistair's spine, but he shook the agitation away from his head and replied to Spectre's inquiry.

"We're almost there mister Spectre." He replied simply "Just a few more steps." He told him.

"Great, and please just call me Spectre." He told him "Mister makes me feel kind of vexed." He added.

"Sure." Alistair acknowledged with a nod.

After walking for fifteen more seconds, Alistair has led Spectre next to a hill.

"Just past this small hill Spectre." Alistair told him as he walked past the hill with Spectre following him up from behind.

Once they have walked past the small hill with trees on them, Spectre saw something incredibly unique, in front of him is a tall beehive looking structure which is almost the size of an apartment. It is blue coloured and has green leaves on it.

"Welcome to my home." Alistair said.

"Wow, that sure is one tall home you have here." Spectre said in astonishment of the hive in front of him.

"Indeed it is." Alistair said with a chuckle "Now, why don't we go in?" He asked him.

Spectre was a little bit uncertain when he heard this.

"Um Alistair, do you think that there is another route to take?" He asked him.

"Why's that?" Alistair asked raising his eyebrow in confusion.

"Its just that, don't you think the residents in there would panic if they see me?" He asked him "They would also resort in attacking me which would not be delightful." He added in a logical sense.

Alistair's eyes widened when he heard Spectre's reply, he is correct when he said that his subject might panic when they see him, and his guards would resort into trying to attack him too because, he would be an intimidating creature to them.

"Your statement is veracious." Alistair said, then he tapped on his chin with his right hoof and began to think on how he can sneak Spectre into his home without him being spotted.

After pondering the hypothetical situation for a brief moment, a plan has popped into Alistair's head.

"I've got an idea Spectre." Alistair told him.

"Really?" Spectre asked, and Alistair replied with a nod "Then shoot, I'm all ears." He told him.

"I'm gonna do this."

Once Alistair has said that, he charged his horn and Spectre noticed that his horn has a white circle which is expanding its size.

"Wh-what are you doing?"

Alistair didn't even reply to his inquiry, instead he focused on his magic by charging his horn again.

Spectre then noticed that the white ball has expanded into a medium size, and that caught him off guard completely because, that only took five seconds. After that, Alistair then spin his head around and fired the white ball directly towards Spectre.

When Spectre noticed this, he let out a yelp and shielded himself with his arms awaiting for the impact. But, to his great surprise nothing happened.

"Spectre it's okay, I'm done." Alistair told him.

"Wh-wha?" Spectre asked as he slowly removed his arms from his goggle mask.

"I said it's over." Alistair told him, "Try looking down at yourself." He told him again.

Spectre was a bit perplexed when he heard that, but he pushed the confusion out of his head and looked down. And when he did, he noticed that his whole body disappeared.

"What the?" Spectre exclaimed "What did you do to my body!?" He yelled demanding an answer.

"Whoa! Okay chill out Spectre, there's no need to be scandalized, I just casted an invisibility spell on you." Alistair told him.

"In-invisibility spell?" Spectre asked in a bewildered tone.

"Yep." Alistair said with a nod "It is a practical spell that I have learnt from my mother and aunt Celestia, the invisibility spell will keep you invisible for five minutes, you can't see yourself, but you can still feel yourself. So, there's no need to be petrified." He told him in an assuring tone.

Spectre was both very interested and flabbergasted by Alistair's statement, he didn't know that he can cast magic, it sure is very distinctive compared to any bioweapons he fought.

"Alright so here's the deal Spectre, you are going to follow me into my home and to my room so that you can stay and hide there."

"Sounds like a plan."

"Great!" Alistair said with a smile "Alright, let's commence the plan." He said as he walked towards the front gates of the Changeling Kingdom with Spectre following him from behind.

At the front gates of the Changeling Kingdom, two male changeling guards were seen on duty as usual. Everything was going smoothly and that is until some hoofsteps was heard in front of them.

Both guards averted their eyes in front of them and saw Prince Alistair running up towards them. And once he got to them, they both immediately bowed their heads.

"Prince Alistair!"

"Don't need to everytime." Alistair told them with a chuckle, and the guards both raised their heads up and chuckled back.

"Welcome back." The guards said as they pushed the gates open and stepping aside allowing passage for him.

"Thank you."

Then, Alistair walked through the gates with the invisible Spectre following him from behind, and it is a good thing that Spectre did not make some noises as he is walking on the grass.

After that, Alistair walked up to the front doors of his home and Spectre was astonished by the height of the two doors. Once they got to it, two changelings guards one male and the other female pushed the door open for him allowing passage.

"Thank you." Alistair said with grateful smile.

"Your welcome your majesty." The two guards said with a bow.

Then, Alistair entered the Kingdom with the invisible Spectre behind him.

Once they were in, Spectre looked around the place and saw that it was extremely huge, the Kingdom has blue coloured walls, chandeliers made of diamonds were attached on the roof, green and purple carpets were on the floor and many more. There were also a crowd of changelings in front of him.

"Wow, this place is humongous." Spectre thought.

"Psst Spectre." Alistair called him.

When Spectre heard Alistair calling him, he looked down and asked "Yes?"

"We're going to go up to the fourth floor, thats where my room is, and be cautious, many of my changeling subjects are doing their normal things here." He whispered to him.

"Got it." Spectre said with a nod.

"Good."

After that, Alistair started to guide Spectre to the stairs of his Kingdom which was halfway on the ground floor. And while walking, many changeling drones started to bow and wave joyfully at the changeling Prince. Alistair simply gave them a wave as well as a smile.

"Hello Prince Alistair!" Yelled a happy male drone.

"You are so cute." A female drone said with a cute expression.

"Thank you my subjects, all of you are my greatest friends." Alistair said with a warm smile.

Spectre was truly astonished by the comments Alistair is receiving.

"Wow, he sure is popular even though he is a Prince." Spectre thought with a nonplus expression.

After walking through the busy crowd for twenty seconds, Alistair and Spectre has arrived at the stairwell of the Kingdom.

"Follow me." Alistair whispered.

Then, Alistair began to run up the stairs with Spectre climbing up slowly from behind. And Alistair was guiding him to the fourth floor.

After walking on the stairs for fifteen seconds, Alistair and Spectre have arrived on the fourth floor of the changeling kingdom.

"Just a few more steps Spectre."

"Okay."

Then, Alistair started to guide Spectre to his bedroom which was near his and his parents throne room.

After walking for ten seconds, Alistair has arrived to his bedroom. He was about to push the door opened but suddenly, somepony called him.

"Prince Alistair."

When Alistair heard the voice, he turned to his right and saw a female servant who is carrying a bowl of red coloured grapes on a tray.

"Good afternoon." Alistair greeted with a smile "I suspect that this is mine?" He assumed.

"Indeed it is your majesty!" The changeling replied with an exuberant expression "I thought that you might be hungry after your time in the playground. " She said.

"Why thank you, it's just what I needed." Alistair said as he grabbed The bowl of grapes with his magic.

"Your welcome." The changeling said with a wide smile. After that, she turned around and rushed back into the kitchen.

"Well that was awkward." Spectre said to himself quietly.

"I was going to like cook for myself and the hive today before the royal meeting in Canterlot tomorrow, but hey, the servant gave me this so, it's alright." He said with a shrug "Maybe I can cook for the hive next time." He told himself.

Then, Alistair pushed the thought out of his head and turned to face his bedroom door. He placed two of his hooves on it and pushed it open. After that, he stepped in. And Spectre stepped in after him.

Spectre then observed his surroundings and saw that Alistair's bedroom was quite large. There was a large white coloured bed with a folded green blanket on the right end side of it, there were purple and blue coloured pillows at the front as well as a roof on top. The room also had two doors in front of him on the right as well as on his left, two cupboards, a glass door that leads to a balcony, a chandelier on the roof, as well as one large studying desk with a green coloured chair. And a large bookshelf with lots of books was near the desk.

"Wow, now this is one fancy bedroom he's got." Spectre said with a flabbergasted expression behind his goggle mask "This bedroom is way better than mines at home." He added.

Then, Alistair turned around and charged his horn again. After five seconds, Alistair lifted the invisibility spell off of Spectre and he became visible again.

"Thanks." Spectre said in a grateful tone, he is happy to see himself again.

"Your welcome." Alistair said "And welcome to my room." He told him with a smile.
