Where Do Changelings Come From?

Twilight drudged down the corridor, lazily saluting the guards who each tried not to give her an impolite look of confusion. She was in no mood to portray the perfect pony princess today, though, at least not after the sleepless night she’d had.

After all the thinking and overthinking she’d done during the past twelve hours, she thought she’d at least get a hint of what to do next, but sadly, answers didn’t come as easily as she’d hoped. What would she do if Chrysalis tried something with her again? Was Twilight really trying to get her to learn about friendship? If Chrysalis didn’t want to change, would there be anything Twilight could do to stop her? If her friends were in danger, whose side would she be on in the end?

Again, Twilight tried to mentally wave off all the negativity and just do her stupid job. As she pushed through the door that led into the room where Chrysalis was being held hostage, she saw both Chrysalis and Thorax with smiles on their faces, making Twilight tilt her head in the same way Thorax had done the day prior.

“Oh, Twilight!” Thorax exclaimed. “I’ve got great news!”

Twilight’s eyebrow rose. “You do?”

“Yeah! Chrysalis said that she’d be willing to help laying more eggs for the colony, and even laying the egg for a new queen! Isn’t that great?!”

Suddenly, every thread that was holding up Twilight’s heart snapped, leaving it to fall and shatter on the floor. Her lips trembled. Her eyes were trying their best to hold back water. What could she even say in a situation like this? This was what Thorax wanted, after all, for the hive to continue so that their species could go on for generations to come, but the way he said it made it sound like Twilight wouldn’t be part of that.

“Oh, wow!” the princess exclaimed, trying her best to sound excited. “So did you have any ideas about who you’d be reproducing with?”

“I was thinking along the lines of one of the changelings back home,” Chrysalis said with a sadistic smile. “That way I’d actually be allowed to go back to my hive.”

“YOU CAN’T!” Both Chrysalis and Thorax flinched, leading Twilight to clear her throat as if that was a totally normal reaction to have. “I mean, you still have to finish your friendship lessons! We can’t just have you going out into the world before you’re reformed!”

“Twilight…” The princess flinched upon feeling a hoof on her shoulder, and turning her eyes, she saw Thorax with a concerned expression. “I know that this whole friendship thing is important to you, but my colony is going extinct. If Chrysalis says she’ll lay more eggs, don’t you think we should save the friendship lessons for later?”

Twilight looked at Chrysalis, then back to Thorax, her eyes darting back and forth so fast it was making her head spin. She couldn’t let Chrysalis leave so easily. She… She needed her…

With a cringe she tried to hide, Twilight muttered, “Can’t I have one last try before she leaves? I really think I can get through to her.”

Chrysalis gave Thorax a very annoyed stare, but when Thorax stared back, he simply shrugged his shoulders. “I guess it would be a huge help if she got to stay in the hive permanently. I’m sure the other changelings would love to have you back.”

Chrysalis scoffed. “Of course they would. I’m their queen.”

“Great!” Twilight exclaimed, putting a period on the conversation by physically pushing Thorax out the door. “I guess that means we should be getting back to our lessons, then! See you in twelve hours! Au revoir!”

Thorax looked back to say something, but before he could get any words out, Twilight quickly slammed the door, sliding her back against the wood down to her haunches. That probably wasn’t exactly the best way to handle the situation, but in her defense, it wasn't like Twilight had anticipated the possibility of Chrysalis leaving her so soon. She couldn’t leave yet. At least, not not to do that…

“Of course you’d ruin my plan.” Once Twilight finally looked up from the ground, she saw Chrysalis with a fiery glare in her eyes. “How much longer do you intend on keeping this friendship farce going?!”

Twilight gulped. What she’d say next could potentially be the most important thing she’d ever said to anyone, so she had to make this one count.

“At least until I know you’ll be safe.”

Chrysalis’s glare began to soften until her look of anger was broken by her rising eyebrow. “Come again?”

“If I let you out into the world before you’re ready… I can’t promise that you won’t get turned back into stone. Even if I don’t do it, somepony will stop you, maybe even kill you. I just…” Twilight choked back a sob. “I just can’t let you leave! I wanted to be the one to carry your eggs! I wanted to be with you for as long as possible! Can you imagine how I’d feel if you did it with another changeling? Can you imagine how I’d feel if you got hurt because you wouldn’t change?”

Chrysalis took a step back, and Twilight rose to her hooves.

“Don’t you get it, Chryssy?! You’re just going to ruin everything!!”

Twilight bit down on her lip, trying to hold back the tears even longer, but by this point, they were already beginning to stream down her face. As much as she tried to hold back her sobs, she found herself weeping like a filly, burying her face into her hooves while she wailed in agony. What was she supposed to do now? This was her one shot to teach her about friendship, to keep her with her, to have her babies. Now… all that was gone.

Even with Twilight’s eyes covered by her hooves, however, she could feel Chrysalis approaching closer. She could feel her warmth, and even if it hurt knowing that that warmth would disappear soon, it at least calmed her down in the moment.

“You…” the changeling began in a much less vindictive tone. “...are such a strange creature.”

Twilight laughed with a sniffle. “Yeah, I guess that’s what happens when your emotions are influenced by changeling pheromones.”

There was a brief pause where Twilight thought she might have just soured the mood, but before she could dwell on it any longer, Chrysalis opened her mouth. “I’m not using any pheromones. The ones from yesterday should have worn off by now too.”

Suddenly, Twilight stopped crying, and now she was the one with the glare. “WHAT?! You’re telling me this whole time I’ve been getting worked up over nothing?!”

Chrysalis took another step back in surprise, but after the initial shock wore off, she smirked down at the alicorn. “So I take it you’re more concerned about the changeling population than you are with me again, is that right?”

Of course that was right! The only reason Twilight fell for her in the first place was because of the pheromones! Chrysalis had been manipulating her the entire time, so the feelings Twilight had been carrying around this whole time had to have been temporary… at least, that’s what she thought. Twilight was a rational, logical mare, so there should be no reason she actually still held any feelings for her now that the chemicals had worn off, right?

“Princess?”

“Huh?” Suddenly, Twilight snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the queen, who had a look of confusion, a stark contrast to the angry glare that she normally had. That, however, only made Twilight wonder… “Actually, before I answer that, I had a question of my own.”

“Oh?”

Twilight gulped.

“Do you still care more about your colony than you do about me?”

“What?!” Chrysalis hissed, but even though her glare had returned, she still didn’t answer. Twilight didn’t break their gaze either, continuing to look the changeling right in the eyes until Chrysalis looked away with a huff. “Why would you even ask such a preposterous question?”

“You see?! You feel it too! If there’s one thing I’ve learned about friendship, it’s that it doesn’t always make sense. I may not have any experience with love, but if it’s anything like friendship, then we shouldn’t ignore what our hearts are telling us.” Chrysalis remained silent, so Twilight continued. “We both know the plan you have won’t work. Please, put your pride aside and just let me help you have a place in the world again.”

Chrysalis scoffed. “You mean a place with you?”

“If…” Twilight looked down. “If you’ll have me.”

There was a long silence that came after, making Twilight’s heart beat at the thought of having possibly screwed up the whole reformation plan altogether. What was she even supposed to do now? How was she supposed to give a creature who’d spent her whole life feeding off of love the chance of accepting it, accepting her?

Finally, Chrysalis closed the gap between them, staring down Twilight until she gulped in fear. “You must really not want me making babies with another changeling.”

Twilight blushed with a sheepish grin. “You know me so well.”

Then, with a sigh and the shrug of her shoulders, Chrysalis said, “I guess it can’t really be helped, then. If you refuse to let me leave until I at least pretend to like you, I might as well do something to give you more confidence in me.”

Suddenly, the alicorn’s eyes went wide, her lips trembling. “You mean…?”

“Perhaps you’d be, er… adequate to hold the vessel for my next queen.”

There were so many things running around in Twilight’s mind, so many different emotions rushing within her chest, but if she wanted Chrysalis to stay, there was one that needed precedence over all the others. Without wasting another second, Twilight turned around, moved her tail out of the way and spread her hind legs. She wasn’t very wet yet, and Chrysalis didn’t exactly have any lubrication, but they really didn’t have time for Twilight to give her her own lubricant like the day before; somepony would be sure to walk in on them before they finished. She would have to go in as she was, just like the first time.

The queen took her place behind Twilight’s rump, placing one of her hooves onto Twilight’s back. “Ready, dear?”

Twilight giggled. “Already calling me a pet name, huh?”

“...Perhaps maybe I should reconsider--”

“NOPE! I’m ready! Put it in!”

The words had scarcely left her mouth by the time she felt something sliding into her orifice, making the alicorn bite down on her hoof to alleviate some of the pain in her groin. Chrysalis wasn’t even taking her time. Instead, she moved through Twilight’s vaginal canal like a glove for her ovipositor, going as deep as she wanted as fast as she pleased.

As much as it hurt feeling her insides ripped apart without warning, Twilight revelled in the bliss of having her lover’s anatomy inside her. It was almost like she was trusting Twilight to keep it warm, to protect it from harm, to give it comfort, and just the thought of it made her nectar flow out. After the initial shock, the strain began to disappear, replaced with a bliss that Twilight didn’t even know ponies were even capable of experiencing.

“Ah! Ah! Ahhh!”

“Oh, come on!” Chrysalis exclaimed. “It shouldn’t hurt that much!”

“Mmmmmm it’s not that! It feels so good!”

Suddenly, Chrysalis stopped humping the mare, making Twilight turn her head back in pain to see the changeling with a face full of confusion. “It does? Changeling reproduction is usually supposed to be painful!”

Twilight giggled again. “You know what? When you’re doing it with someone you care about, the pain only lasts for a second.”

“I…” Chrysalis shook her head in confusion. “I didn’t know that was possible.”

“You should keep going, then. I’ll let you know how I feel every step of the way.”

It took a minute for Chrysalis to do anything, but soon enough, her phallus was travelling through her inner walls again, making Twilight’s tongue roll out of her mouth with another satisfied sigh. Finally, her own anatomy was doing its job of lathering the queen’s cock with her love juices, allowing the friction to slide over her nerve endings rather than ripping her insides. Even as Chrysalis’s hips swung harder with more force after every thrust, it felt like her shaft was treating her more and more gently as the changeling continued. It felt like… it was exactly where it was supposed to be.

“Ahn! Oh, Chryssy! Keep going! Deeper! Oooo right there! Yes! YES! Mmmm!!”

She couldn’t tell whether Chrysalis really understood the message, but even if she was following her directions on accident, Twilight wanted to keep her there for as long as possible. She could explain, evolutionarily speaking, why it felt so good having Chrysalis inside her, but there was no way to explain how it made so much sense that Chrysalis fit so well. It was more than just feeling full, it was like Twilight was born specifically to have her dick inside of her.

Without thinking, Twilight lifted her hips up higher, allowing the changeling’s shaft deeper into her orifice, rubbing her inner crevices on the way to her cervix, making Twilight moan louder. The way Chrysalis held her, it wasn’t just like she wanted control over her--it wasn’t even like she was just trying to keep her balance. It was as if she was telling Twilight that she would hold her close and never let go, to protect her from anything that could hurt her, which alone was enough to drench Twilight’s insides. The mere fact that Chrysalis was speeding up her hips, humping her with so much force that it physically bucked Twilight forward was just icing on the cake, and speaking of icing…

“Hey, Chryssy? Could I--mmm--ask you a question?”

“Will it take long?”

Chrysalis added emphasis to her question with a hard slam against her pelvis, making Twilight hold in a scream just long enough to get her question out. “So this fertilization process. If you have the eggs, and I’m supposed to be your--ohhhh, right there! Ah, ah, yes! Yes! Yes!!” Again, Twilight tried to endure the pleasure, which was becoming much more difficult now that Chrysalis was going at twice her previous speed, thrusting so hard into Twilight that it made her whole upper body bounce. “So--mmm--you know--ahhh--how I’m supposed to carry your eggs?”

“Yes? What of it?”

“Eep!” Twilight placed her hoof to her mouth after an accidental sound escaped her lips once Chrysalis went extra deep, but that still didn’t stop how much liquid arousal began dripping down her legs. “I was just wondering how exactly those eggs were supposed to get into my body.”

Finally, regretfully, the changeling stopped moving her hips, giving the alicorn a second to catch her breath even though she already missed the stimulation. “You aren’t squeamish, are you?”

“...For the sake of curiosity, I’m going to say no.”

“Good.” Once Twilight looked back, she saw her queen much closer than she expected, giving her a sadistic smile while leaning towards her ear. Then, with a subtle, quiet voice she said, “Because changeling queens can cum for hours at a time.”

If Twilight hadn’t bit her lip at that exact moment, she probably would have passed out. Instead of falling over and making things awkward for the both of them, however, she simply nodded her head and replied, “OK. Whenever you’re ready… give me your babies.”

Chrysalis didn’t respond with words, but after a few moments, Twilight could feel her cock sliding through her folds again, making her head fall down with her mane falling on top of her face. The princess wanted to help thrust, but from the sheer force of the changeling’s hips, the only thing Twilight could do was plant her forehooves onto the ground, moaning out femininely as her insides tightened around her partner’s dick. Everything around her disappeared, from the walls to the air to the feeling of the floor beneath her. Her body had never felt so weak, yet somehow, she never felt so resonant, so full of life.

Twilight craned her neck back and arched her spine, pinching her shoulders as her insides squeezed harder around the phallus inside her. Her breathing became shaky as her whole upper body bounced forward with every thrust of Chrysalis’s hips, making Twilight’s eyes fall further and further back in ecstasy. Her erratic breathing became moans of exhaustion, then moans of bliss, building up louder until they became screams that echoed throughout the room. She prayed that there weren’t any guards doing their rounds nearby, because as much as she wasn’t ready to get caught, she was really not ready to calm down her voice.

Chrysalis pulled onto Twilight tail, making Twilight slam her hooves onto the ground to channel some of the pent up weakness in her groin. It wasn’t enough, though. The amount of nerves being stimulated between her legs were just too much to take at once. If they kept it up for much longer, not only would her pussy go numb, but she probably wouldn’t be able to walk on all four legs for a week.

“T-time out,” Twilight said urgently, vocalizing more from her breath than her voice. “I need a break.”

“Sorry, Princess,” Chrysalis replied. “I’ve already begun the process. If I stop now, I won’t be able to get the eggs out in time, and then I’d have to wait until my next ovulation cycle.”

“Which would be in…?”

“Thirty years.”

Twilight’s eyes went wide. “OK! Nevermind! You can keep going, but can you hurry up and cum, please? I feel like I’m about to faint.”

Chrysalis smirked. “Don’t worry. That’s normal.”

It didn’t seem like it was possible, but somehow, Twilight could feel Chrysalis growing even bigger, stretching her out as Twilight grit her teeth to take it all in. The speed of the changeling’s hips grew faster, the hooves around Twilight’s waist gripped tighter, and the entire time, Twilight’s screams grew louder, practically begging somepony to walk in on them.

“Ah! Yes! Chryssy, I’m so wet. I’m so wet for you right now. Mmm! MM~! Ahn! Ahn!!”

The louder Twilight’s voice cried, the harder the queen humped her, which made Twilight scream even loud, creating a vicious cycle where Twilight practically created a puddle of lust beneath her. Even beyond the volume of her voice, however, she could hear Chrysalis beginning to grunt behind her, filling her with so much bliss that she no longer cared whether she ever walked again. She needed all of Chrysalis’s cock. Right now.

“It’s happening,” the changeling said, gritting her teeth and squeezing her eyes closed. “This might be painful.”

Oh, Twilight was hoping for that.

Rather than prolonging her bliss any further, however, the alicorn princess looked back with a serious look on her face and said as sternly as she could, “Do it.”

Suddenly, she felt the changeling queen pressing Twilight’s face down to the ground, rocking her hips as hard as she could, practically slipping her shaft all the way out before slamming it back in. The pain was so good that Twilight couldn’t even scream anymore. She was trying so hard to breathe that all she could do was squeak in pleasure, feeling Chrysalis’s cock pulse more and more with every thrust. In a matter of seconds, Twilight would be carrying her precious eggs, and finally, just as she was about to go unconscious, she felt a warm liquid cascading into her marehood.

She couldn’t believe this was where changeling eggs came from. It felt just like she’d always imagined it was like to have someone cumming inside her, only with more intensity than in her wildest dreams. In just the initial spurt, Chrysalis had managed to decorate practically her entire nether region, with more and more pouring within her after every passing moment. She couldn’t tell which was hotter, her face or her pussy, but with the added warmth of cum filling up her insides, it wasn’t even a contest. Now it was Twilight’s turn to keep those eggs warm, a responsibility she’d take with the highest pride.

For thirty joyous seconds, Twilight’s thighs clenched and throbbed, pulling in as much of the queen’s seed as she could fit within her uterus. She tried hushing her own voice as much as she could, just so she could hear the subtle groans of the changeling above her as cum continued to flood her nethers. It was sexy, it was intoxicating, but… it was also kind of weird. Maybe it was just the endorphins talking, giving her a fight-or-flight sensation just from all the hormones swarming around in her brain, but it was a feeling more unique than Twilight expected. It wasn’t like a horny feeling or a bad feeling by any means. It was just… peaceful, like for a brief moment, the two of them were part of the same whole, and before she knew it, her partner was slowly beginning to pull herself out of Twilight’s womb, dripping excess girlcum onto the floor beneath them.

“Ugh,” the mare moaned, trying her best to bring her wobbly legs back to the ground, ignoring the pain that was far less enjoyable now that the sex was actually over. “Maybe you were right about how changeling production was supposed to hurt. Ow.”

Chrysalis chuckled as much as she could in her quest to pull air back into her lungs. “You don’t take our race seriously enough. We’re brutal. We always have been.”

“...You know that’s not true.” Chrysalis raised her eyebrow, but allowed Twilight to continue to speak. “I know I didn’t just imagine it. The way you held me, the way you kept warning me, the way you moaned my name…”

“I never moaned your name.”

Twilight quickly leapt to her hooves, pointing towards Chrysalis with urgency in her eyes. “Yes, you did! It was subtle. I almost didn’t hear it, but I know you did. I know it’s possible that I could just be imagining things, but the whole time we were having sex, it was like I was your main focus.” Chrysalis looked away with a scowl, growling with anger despite not denying anything. “Admit it, Chryssy. You care about me.”

“I will admit no such thing!”

“Then why did you choose me instead of another changeling? You could have left me, but you didn’t. You could have gone off to do this with another changeling, but you didn’t. You chose me, because I asked you to. Now, are you really going to just pretend like I don’t mean anything to you?”

The scowl on Chrysalis’s face grew fiercer and fiercer, and even though Twilight was worried that she could lash out at any moment, the princess never once dropped eye contact. Several moments passed where Chrysalis remained quiet, seething but silent. Just as Twilight was about to speak again, however, Chrysalis exhaled a long, heavy breath before calming herself down and finally matching Twilight’s gaze.

“What do you want from me?” the changeling asked, giving the mare exactly what she wanted.

“I want you to be part of my life, if not as my lover, then as my friend. After all, I am going to have your babies…”

As Chrysalis continued to stare, her mouth began to quiver in confusion. “How… How can you treat me like this? After all the things I’ve done, after manipulating you and trying to brainwash you… It doesn’t even seem like you’re worried about anyone’s wellbeing except my own.”

Twilight shrugged her shoulders with a sheepish smile. “I love you, I guess. Maybe I still have some pheromones in my system that haven’t worn off yet.”

Finally, after staring her down until she broke out into a fit of laughter, the changeling shook her head and said, “Sure. Let’s go with that.”

“...So, does that mean…?”

“I guess, maybe, possibly, for the time being, I could at least… try giving love a chance.”

Then, without giving Twilight a chance for the message to sink in, the changeling’s body rose from the ground, her body shining a bright light that encapsulated the room around them. Twilight had to shield her eyes with her hoof, but she could still make out a glistening cocoon that began to swathe her entire body as rings of light erupted with a thundering echo. Even once the rings had disappeared, leaving the cocoon levitating in the air in front of her, she could still hear sparkles falling down like glittery snowflakes.

Twilight was left speechless, unsure of how to react to the change. She hadn’t seen the changeling colony’s metamorphosis when it originally happened, and something as unfamiliar as this would usually make Twilight panic. She wondered things like how long would she be in there? Was it safe? Would she still be the same when she came out? For some reason, though, even if she had a thousand thoughts swirling around her brain at once, she felt… calm, like she already knew what to do.

Approaching the floating cocoon in front of her, Twilight placed her hoof onto the gleaming enrapturement and gently spoke, “I always knew you could do it.”

Suddenly, the cocoon peeled away, disappearing in midair as a figure appeared in its wake. As beautiful as Twilight thought she was before, her jaw began to drop at the sight of a pair of pure white skin, sparkling golden wings, and a mane containing every colorful shade of the sea. Most importantly, though, was the feature that made her more beautiful than any creature in Equestria: her dazzling smile, probably the first one of her entire life.

“Chrysalis! You’re… You’re…”

“Shhh,” the changeling said, placing her snow-white hoof onto Twilight’s lips. “It’s not about me anymore. Now… it’s about us.”

Twilight couldn’t help but crack a smile of her own, and the moment the changeling’s hoof left her lips, Twilight reached around Chrysalis’s neck and placed a kiss on her mouth, promising herself to never let go so long as she lived.

“And with that, I’d like to conclude our meeting! Any questions?”

“Uhh, yeah,” the dragon said, scratching her head curiously. “You look… different from the last time we saw you.”

Twilight tilted her head to the side. “Different how?”

“Well, Dragon Lord Ember,” Thorax said quickly, cutting them both off before either one of them could make the situation any more awkward. “Twilight has volunteered to help reform Chrysalis.”

“Uhh… OK? So why is Twilight--”

“And because of her, Chrysalis has returned to the hive! We’re actually working out a dual leadership form of government. It’s the first diarchy in Equestria that I know of!”

Ember blinked in annoyance. “You’re not letting me ask my question on purpose, aren’t you?”

“Oh! Oh! I’ll ask!” Before Thorax could stop Autumn Blaze from speaking, however, her lips were already moving faster than his reflexes could react. “We were all just wondering why Twilight has a baby bump! Is she pregnant?! Ohhhh this is so exciting!”

Thorax groaned in embarrassment, slapping his hoof to his face, but Twilight simply waved it off with a chuckle. “Oh, don’t worry, Thorax. It’s alright. After all, I feel honored to carry the new generation of changelings, especially if they’re Chryssy’s.”

Twilight then brought her hoof down to her belly, rubbing in circles around her pelvis as a lump probably twice the size of her torso stretched out in front of her. These weren’t just Chrysalis’s babies; they were babies they were making together, and Twilight would cherish them like her own. Out of all the things that had happened in Twilight’s life, the one thing she couldn’t understand was how she ever got so lucky.
