Discord approached the dark tower, his thought on what he had unleashed into this world of boundless magic.

"He will change the very narrative of this world," he chortled, "All prophecies and plans thrown into disarray. I just hope he is up to the task."

Moving over the monster-infested wasteland that materialized alongside Malem's home, Discord smiled down upon the forsaken inhabitants.

"Soon your prince will come," He gloated, "Malem will not let a single one of us be left behind. Forsake your bonds to the old goat. Another lord of the Monsters will rise."

Arriving at his friend's home, he was greeted by two guards. They had once been changelings, but now were something different. Strength flowed within their muscles, their armor fused to their bodies, they carried no weapons for Malem had turned them into weapons.

"Lord Discord," One of them greeted the Draconoquess, "Please go right in, you're expected."

Discord surged forward, "Did he take in all of you? And what changes he has wrought in such a short time. I wonder how he managed it."

"Lord Malem changes us as he sees fit," The other answered, "to be in his presence is to be altered, to be made better."

Clucking his tongue at the other guard, Discord grinned.

"I get it, you met your god," Discord snarked, "are you worshiping him in other ways too?"

"He is our father as our Queen is our mother, we worship them both in all ways."

Discord's eyes widened, "I think I better just go in. Things may be getting a little cringy."

Snaping his fingers he appeared in front of Malem. The Alicorn wore his usual cargo pants and multi-pocketed vest, this time a dagger hung at his hip. In the center of the room, one of the monsters of the wasteland struggled, its cries of anger reverberating within the circular room. Glowing purple runes pulsed in rhythm to the chanting of robed figures nestled within six alcoves placed equidistant on the outer wall.

"What did I walk in on?" Discord inquired, "I can come back if this is a bad time."

"Not at all," Malem placated his friend, "I want your opinion of what I've done."

Sliding up next to Discord, he gently moved him away from the circle and out of the room.

"Malem what was going on in there?" Discord queried, "that looked suspiciously like a summoning circle. One that used an insane amount of Necromantic energy."

"Relax Discord," Malem assured him, "I got around all of that by hardwiring changelings into the energy circuits. They serve as the will and power source for the entire thing. I further modified them to be more efficient conductors as well. Energy from the world is collected within them and directed by my will."

Discord paled, "Somehow I don't feel much better."

Malem chuckled, "I will not lie to you Discord, I am not going to fucking bother. Any question you ask will get as honest an answer as I can give in that moment."

"And screw it, if I don't like the answer?"

Malem touched his finger to his muzzle, "Exactly, If you didn't want the answer don't ask the fucking question."

"How does Chrysalis feel about the changes you are making?"

"I am taking you to her, you can ask her yourself," Malem assured the chaos god.

Descending into the nether realm of the castle, Discord shuddered as things carried changeling larvae on blasphemous errands. As they walked further down, the brick and mortar tower gave way to stone bored clean. The walls looked smooth and melted.

Discord looked at Malem, but before he could ask they arrived at the central chamber. A low arched ceiling was studded with glowing green lights that gave the whole place a baleful glow. But what dominated the large chamber was the Queen of the changelings. The top part of her body had remained unchanged, but the lower half had enlarged. It filled the tunnel behind her. Those things from before scurried about, descending past their Queens bulk to retrieve the larvae she birthed.

Discord turned to Malem, "What in the name of holy fucking Celestia's fat ass did you do?"

As Chrysalis nestled within my arms, I continued making changes. Her wounds healed as I opened her energy channels to the vast sea of magic that was Equestria. Her brood I began to warp, their forms changing as I adapted them to their new duties. Those that had been Impregnated I altered to only produce one of three specific castes. Warriors, Scouts, and Workers. Chrysalis herself I gave the honor of birthing my Inqusitori. They will be of my royal blood and bound by it.

Entering into my tower, I placed one of the worker queens at the base. Then I ramped up her gestation. To her, I gave the task of building a new warren. One that was fit for the reborn changelings that I would design.

Her sacrifice will be remembered.

Her children burst from her flesh, as she birthed them. Her dying breath giving them their orders, even as they consumed them. As my darling Chrysalis snuggled against my chest she hummed her approval of my actions.

"I am glad that my husband is more ruthless than me," She muttered, "I finally found someone that was more of a monster than I am."

Shushing her back to sleep, I watched as the worker drones burnt themselves out to lay the foundations we needed, consuming themselves to fuel the construction. Descending into the pit I marveled at the smooth surfaces and the quality of the tunnels. Reaching the central chamber, I commanded the lesser queens to enter their chambers. Placing my beloved at the front of the longest tunnel, I turned back to those that were left.

"I will remake all of you. You will be the backbone of what the changelings will become. I thank you in advance for your lives."

All but five I made into the nursemaids that would tend to the queens. I gifted them extra limbs and removed their will, linking each to their respective queens. Their wings I removed, converting them into mammaries that continually produced the food the larvae would need. Their necks I diminished until the faces rested on their shoulders. Redesigning their leg structure I made them walk as ants. Each of their limbs terminated in hands.

Going back to Chrysalis, I smiled as I saw the changes begin to take effect. A rapidly engorging abdomen had taken the place of her lower half. Her upper half remained the same, save that her breasts had become swollen with the nectar she would feed our children. Her vagina I moved to a second throat inside her mouth. Thus she could be pregnant and impregnated at the same time. Her brain extended out the back of her skull, encircling her spine. I connected it to the lives growing inside her. What they knew she would know as well. I gave nerve endings and threaded sinews into her hair, thus enabling her to use her own hair as a limb. I then made it stronger than steel. Her eyes I left. That I might gaze into them as I liked.

"You are my wife of the shadows," I swore to her, "you will be loved and honored forever."

Gathering together those I had left, I ascended to my ritual chamber. Placing each of them in one of five alcoves, I began my work. Necromantic energy combined with Biomancy to etch my circle into the floor. Connecting each Changeling to the magical circuits, I removed their eyes but doubled the efficiency of their Alicornae Systems. Removing their wings and fusing their legs together, I then streamlined and enhanced their horns. Their nervous systems I linked to the circuits and through the circuits, each other. Their arms, I lengthened and added an extra knuckle on their hands. Each of their brains I elongated as I had Chrysalis', but removed their emotional centers and need for rest. I then slaved their minds to myself.

"I am almost ready to begin," I sighed to myself, "But Discord is due for a visit and I need to wait for some of the Changelings to grow. Until then I must rest."

I was awoken by the warm wonderment of a mouth on my cock. Opening my eyes, I was greeted by the wonderful sight of Chrysalis engulfing my member. I smiled as I watched her in silence, the bobbing of her head enhanced by the tongue she had coiled around my shaft. Never allowing the head to leave her mouth, I soon gave her the treat she had so worked for. As my load shot into the back of her throat and she began to gulp, the haze of sleep cleared from my mind.

"You're Chrysalis' firstborn, aren't you?" I inquire.

"And I am also Chrysalis," She explained, "We are a communal hivemind, after all. All thanks to you."

Climbing into bed with me, she whispered into my ear, "But I am also myself, daddy. And, as an infiltrator, it's impossible for me to commit incest. Because I can change my very genetic code."

Taking me into her hand, she moaned as she felt me hardening again, "Mom is still reeling from the last fucking you gave her. All us infiltrators have her memories imprinted on us, you inadvertently made sex-slaves of all your progeny."

"That's assuming it was accidental." I cooed to her.

Pulling her close, I silenced her by kissing her deeply. Releasing her, I helped her mount me. We both gasped as my cock slid into her depths, "Might I know your name, daughter?"

"We don't have names," She sighed, "I am my mother and myself, therefore there is only Chrysalis."

Any further conversation was stopped as she began to rock her hips, while internally she shifted her pussy to clench her prize tightly. I groaned as she jerked me off while I was inside her. Reaching up I grabbed a hold of her breasts, earning a gasp from her as I began to knead them.

"Ahh, Daddy!" She cried, "Fill me up!"

Her convulsing pussy drove me over the edge as I emptied myself for the second time inside her.

Her face shifted, a much older being looking through younger eyes.

"Hello beloved, did you like my wake up call? Our firstborn will guard you and keep you satisfied. She will carry your seed down to me, where I will receive it. I took the liberty of assigning the workers, warriors, and scouts to duties around the tower. However, I'll need more information on how you want the infiltrators to proceed before I hand out those orders.
Also what is that other intelligence I sense in the castle?"

All through her update, Chrysalis kept milking me of my seed. As I was finally empty, she curled up next to me. Processing what she said, I thought over my answer carefully.

"I have no problem with anything you have done. The intelligence you sense is my Necromantic circle. Five of our subjects were volunteered to become a permanent part of that project.

Chrysalis giggled next to me, "You are a monster... But you're my monster."

"I most certainly am," I reply, "How far away is Discord?"

Chrysalis rose up to look me in the eye, "How in the hell did you know he was on his way?"

"Because he has no influence of control over me, therefore he has to keep tabs or I might hurt his other friends."

Both mother and daughter looked down on me, stunned.

"Beloved/Daddy? Did you actually predict what the Lord of Chaos would do?"

"I absolutely did," I snark, "now help me dress. I must be ready for when he arrives."

I laugh in the face of the shocked Draconoquess. His jaw is laying on the floor as a result of the tale of my activities.

"Oh C'mon," I nudge him with my elbow, "She has her full intelligence and is happy. Our children will enable me to push for the changes I need to improve the Equestrian military. You really can't be that fucking surprised at my actions. I know you checked up on me, I wasn't exactly the greatest example of humanity to begin with."

Discord cranked on a handle that had formed on the back of his head, with much grinding of gears his mouth was jacked back into place.

"And who else has to be sacrificed for your plans to work?" He snarled, "What you're doing could destroy everything you want to protect."

"Real Irony having you to be my conscience," I snarked, "But to answer your query, only the broken. Only my subjects need to be sacrificed. Because that is what we do. We break ourselves and sacrifice to get what we want. No price is too steep for one of mine to pay. And you're right. Sometimes that means we lose what we want in the process of protecting what we want."

"Then who else is on your list of broken?"

"Fluttershy is not on it."

Discord recoiled, "That's not what I asked."

I snorted, "It's what you wanted to know. Anything else would be spoilers. And no one likes spoilers. So stop being a spoiled sport, I do need your help."

"My help?" Discord reprimanded, "You know very well I am limited on my intervention. If I interfere my opposite can too. Or did you forget?"

"I didn't forget," I snickered, "All I want you to do is go and snuggle with Fluttershy for the next three days."

Discord glared at me, "Too good to be true, where's the catch?"

"I need you distracted and Fluttershy will keep your attention. She's the only one that ever has. Isn't that right?"

Discord snarled, "Are you trying to use my Fluttershy against me?"

"Oh Fuck no," I reassure him, "Fluttershy is out of bounds, but you draw eyes to me. Eyes I am not ready to be seen by. I need them turned away. And if you are staying with Fluttershy no one will dare to disturb you with pesky questions. No one is that terminally stupid."

"Not going to swear me to secrecy?"

"PFFFFT!" I shook my head, "We both know the worth of that promise. Either one of us would slither right out of it. Go bang your marefriend and don't leave her house for the next three days. That will suffice. And I will owe you one."

"A favor from Prince Malem for staying out of the game for three days?" Discord muttered, "My alternate would have to withdraw for that time as well. Alright Malem, I will do as you ask. But please try to limit the collateral. You can only spin so much depravity to the Princesses. And in three days I will take you to them. That is my one stipulation."

"Agreed, I won't victimize any race ponykind cares about," I grin as I shake his hand, "We have an accord, now get fucking going. The sooner you're with her, the sooner I can get to fucking work."

"Nice doing business with you," He laughed.

Snapping his fingers, Discord was off to attempt crossbreeding.

Stepping out of the shadows, Chrysalis wrapped her arms around me.

"What is your other reason for asking him that?" she murmured in my ear, "You never have only one reason for doing anything."

"Ponies can crossbreed with any natural race," I answer, "And I enhanced his sperm to counter any and every birth control I could think of. He has no way to sense my Biomancy and the changes were too minute to notice. And besides, with what is coming, doesn't our resident god deserve to have something precious to go home to. There will come a time when he has to take the field, I want him to have a family behind him."

The embrace ended as Chrysalis receded. I smiled at my daughter.

"Come," I say, "We have a specter to capture."

Entering into the chamber, with my daughter at my side, I examined the energy humming within the circle. Two scouts came forward, carrying a chest.

"Thank you Low Queen Odonata," I smiled, "Leave the box and then vacate this room."

The two scouts nodded in unison as they set the box at my feet and beat a hasty retreat.

"Come here daughter," I beckon, "It is time for your task."

Reaching inside the chest, I gave my daughter the single contents. Placing my dagger in her nimble hands, I drew out an antler tipped with a gem. Placing my hand on her chest, I began to make modifications to her. Two sockets appeared on her forehead. Wierd sigils wrote themselves across her skin, only to disappear just as quickly.

Withdrawing my hand, I smiled proudly at her.

"Accept the power that is your birthright as the daughter of Prince Malem and Queen Chrysalis" I intoned.

Placing the dagger on her hip, she withdrew the Antler I had given her. In her other hand, she held something else. It was red and curved, looking more like a blade than a unicorn's horn. Rasing them both to her forehead, she nestled them both into their perspective sockets. As the power in those twin artifacts flared, I shoved her into the circle. My daughter screamed as the assimilation took place, the horns producing plumes of steam where they burned through her skin to bond with her skull.

Shaking herself slightly, she screamed again as green and red eyes threatened to overtake her.

"You will not devour me," She snarled, "I will devour you."

The magic of the circle flared as she drew on its power. A male voice echoed from her as she fell to the ground, black crystals piercing her body from the inside.

"How do you have this kind of power?" It yelled, "I will tear you apart before you can devour me, King Sombra will be reborn!"

"Stop playing with your food," I order my daughter, "time goes short and we have much to do."

Her chuckle could freeze water, "I am sorry father, It seemed only fair to let him think he had a chance."

The black crystals began to flake away as my daughter breathed in their dust. The black and green eyes faded as my daughter flexed her power. Without a word and without incident, Sombra was gone.

"The first trial is done," I smiled, "On to the next."

The monster lays bound in the center. My daughter strides up, I see her stiffen as she recognizes the creature.

"THe pony of shadows," She sighs, "I suppose Sombra and My mother would be the only ones to know the truth. I wonder how my father called you from limbo and what happened to the pillars."

The creature glared up at her, seeing the dagger it shuddered.

"You only wanted to help them Stygian," She lamented, "But those that seek harmony's path seldom see what those behind the scenes must do to assure that they can remain noble."

I watched as the pony of shadows eyes ceased glowing, for just a moment Stygian's eyes looked back.

"I can't give you what you want," She apologized, "the darkness must be made whole. And it will be. The lord of the broken has come. And he will give the broken their home. Or he will end their suffering. You never had control. Your suffering must end."

The dagger rises and the dagger falls. Blood pools under the frail pony that had been Stygian. The shadows leap into my daughter, she staggers but does not fall. Her will is absolute and she brings those shadows to heel.

"Excellent," I gloated, "That's my baby girl. The second trial is done. The sacrifice is made, let us see what we shall reel in. The third trial will now commence."

Darkness swirls within the circle, looming over my daughter. Poisonous green eyes glared down upon her. A mouth full of teeth gave her a smile that didn't reach the eyes.

"What is this?" Nightmare Moon mocks, "One such as you seeks to bind me? I'll give you points for bravery girl if nothing else."

"Well then," My daughter mocks back, "Then it won't cost any of your time to subjugate me. After all, you subjugated Princess Luna didn't you."

The specter snarled, "I would watch your tone with me girl. I am not to be trifled with."

I could feel my daughter's grin even with her back turned to me, "Why? You're nothing more than a parasite that was so weak-willed it imprints the personality of its host. Luna wanted acknowledgment, therefore you want to rule. Even when Rarity hosted you it was her desires you followed. Without a guiding will, you're left with only the desires of your previous hosts. None of them were ever yours. Why should I respect such a being, such a thief? A being of bluster and stolen moments. You're barely worthy of my pity."

The Dark Specter rages at my daughter, "You Dare! I will show you what I am capable off!"

I hope my smile and my pride carry across the circle to my daughter, even if my words can't.

"You have her," I crow, "I knew you could do it."

"As if there was ever any doubt," Chrysalis coos into my ear, "She's our daughter after all. One of whom I'm very proud. I look forward to what she'll name herself."

"Then you've cut her off from the overmind?"

"Everything you saw from the moment she hugged you until now has been her. She will dominate that pathetic spirit, she will improve the collective as its newest queen. Her children will be an amazing asset."

"They will take the place of honor as my Templari. She will join you as my other Shadow Wife. But we must wait until this last step. You left my seed in her correct?"

"As you commanded," My love whispers to me, "She'll be ready to produce larvae as soon as she ascends."

Our conversation ends as Nightmare descends upon our daughter, I know that my wolfish smile is mirrored on both the woman wrapped around me and on my own daughter. Silence reigns as darkness obscures her, the seconds ticking by. Neither her mother nor I dare speak, something sacred is about to happen. To speak would be to tarnish it.

The runes I had written onto my daughter begin to glow as I hear her first words as a Queen.

"Gotcha," she cackles, "No mere parasite of such weak mind could conquer me. I am Queen Eclipse, I rule with my mother as my father's co-queen. We shall bring the broken home. The forgotten will be remembered. Their suffering eased. Or ended. Because no being deserves to be alone."

Chrysalis' tears of pride mirrored my own as Queen Eclipse stood before us. She fell into my arms as her deeds took their toll. Her mother joined me in holding her tight. The pride flowing into her through our arms.

I kissed the top of her head, as I whispered, "You did good, kid. Go get some rest, you will join your mother in the central chamber soon enough. But until then sleep as your body adjusts to the changes."

I reach out and tweak her a bit. Her transformation into a Queen will wait until her body grows accustomed to her new power. Forcing things too quickly would drive her insane.

Smiling as I watch my two favorite ladies lean together, I share a point of information with them.

"The pillars are fine. They're currently being held in suspended animation and will be released into the care of the Princesses when I meet them."

I laugh as they stare back at me. Leaving the room, I head back to my room. I have much to plan. Discord failed to notice the way I phrased my response. There is a race that ponies don't care about. One that is too pathetic even for their pity. One that they don't notice unless it inconveniences them. And even then only until it's gone.

I am going to begin the enslavement of the Diamond Dogs.

Author's Note

Alright, here it is. This is longer than I intended and I could've split it into two chapters. But I wanted all of this done here so that I can proceed to the next part of this arc. The subjugation and enslavement of the Diamond Dogs. By the way, each chapter is a day, unless noted otherwise. That's right, he's been in Equestria for Two Days!

As Always,

All Hail the House Of Ren!!!!!
