A Change In View

Chapter 3:

“Fuck this is just so embarrassing!”

As we walked through the long and shifting corridors, I couldn’t help but glance once in a while at Chrysalis who gave me a grin every time she noticed me staring at her. Next to me was Midnight, who had an embarrassed expression on his face. Juices leaked from our nethers, making a wet trail behind us as we traveled through the hallways. All in all, if it weren’t for the sex being so worth it, I would’ve wished I had died right then and there.

Right now though, I still wished that I was invisible.

I felt Sclerite’s hand pass over my stomach, causing me to shiver. Even though I was able to release most of Midnight’s spunk by pressing down on it, I could still feel a good load sloshing inside my womb, refusing to leak out. Thankfully I wasn’t in heat, but the weight annoyed me a little as I stumbled about.

I glanced at Midnight, who stared at Chrysalis with a neutral gaze. Even though the only thing that ‘covered’ her body were the green hearts on her nipples and nether region, so far the blue pegasi seemed unfazed by her looks. Perhaps his attention was solely towards me now that we had sex? Probably not. Most likely he still had that hidden hatred towards Chrysalis. It was a first for me to see a recently captured pony and notice how they reacted. All of the ponies who lived in the Hive had accepted and even enjoyed the new life they now live. Like Sclerite’s breeder… Button Mash, I think. I hadn’t gotten the chance to talk to him, because the times I did find him, he and Sclerite would be ‘going at it’ in public. And it wasn’t like I could join them, since I didn’t have the rank to do so.

But now? Now I can join what I always dreamed of joining. Granted, I already had sex with Midnight, but orgies were different from what I heard. Something about the smell I think, and it driving everyone wild and allowing them to fuck all night long. I wouldn’t have to go by what the older females had to say anymore. I could finally get to experience it myself.

“So Queen Chrysalis… Uhm… you’re not mad that I fucked Midnight first right?” I asked hesitantly as I turned my gaze towards the beautiful monarch. She simply smiled and let out a soft laugh.

“Oh Ocellus, why would I be mad at you? If I had been in your place and seen how big the colt was, I would’ve already been in our second round by the time you stopped.” Chrysalis said, which caused me to open my eyes a bit.

“Wait. Stallions can cum multiple times?” I asked, before frowning at myself. Well duh. They could, but the way she made it sound like Midnight wouldn’t have a refractory period unlike other stallions, who would need a couple of minutes or use a potion before having another go. Midnight, hearing our conversation, suddenly became a bit interested as his neutral expression turned into a surprised look. I heard Sclerite giggle next to me.

“Of course Ocellus! Usually, the average stallion needs to recharge before they can go again. My breeder though is a very special colt. He’s a Hyper Stallion, and those guys are huge compared to the normal ones. We always use them in our orgies, not only for their size but because they can last for hours straight and release various orgasms if trained properly. If you end up choosing Midnight as your breeder Ocellus, based on what I could see, expect at least six orgasms coming from that bad boy, if not more.” The changeling princess replied with a smile. I simply blinked at her. At least six?! And I already felt full from just one! I glanced at Midnight, who shuffled a bit.

“Well uhm… that’s interesting to hear.” Midnight said after looking at my caretaker with a stunned expression. Chrysalis simply giggled in the background as she looked down at Midnight’s crotch with excitement.

“You know, you can simply ask your new Queen to help you train your abilities. I would be happy to give you daily sessions every time we have an orgy.” Chrysalis offered, leaning on Midnight and pressing her large breasts on his chest. The young blue pegasi simply pushed her away softly.

“Uhm… no thanks… I think… I think I would rather fuck Ocellus in that case. Now, I wouldn’t mind fucking you if you ordered me, but well… ya know… I wouldn’t have much of a say in that aspect anyways.” Midnight replied with a nervous laugh. The monarch frowned for a moment before nodding.

“Of course. It’s a pity you wouldn’t want to spend with the beautiful queen that I am, but I completely understand why. Ocellus is such a sexy little proto queen for her age, and I’m sure she’ll grow to be as beautiful as I am. But please, don’t think that everything is forced around here. You’re not a slave. You’ll be a breeder, and that has its many perks. Trust me when I say you’ll enjoy life in the Hive.” Chrysalis stated. Midnight rolled his eyes and looked away to nowhere particular.

“Fine.” Midnight said, before frowning and looking at Chrysalis with a serious look. “Hey. What happened to all of those mares and foals you captured during the Canterlot Invasion? Or those born after?” The young blue pegasi asked, before pressing forward. “And what about those that resisted? Did you crack down on them and hunt them down like you’ve done to me for the past few years? And what about my parents or my sister? I’m sure they’re around here somewhere and they probably mentioned me enough to make you realize that I was still left.” Midnight questioned, filled with concern with a drop of anger. Sclerite decided to answer on behalf of Chrysalis.

“Let’s go one at a time. I’ve taken care of various foals as a princess, and it depends on what age they are. Button was a young teenager when he was taken in, and they’re the hardest to deal with in my personal experience. They remember everything, but their young minds amplify any trauma they’ve gone through. We usually need months if not years to help them recover. After that, when they’re old enough they’re sent to train as breeders. Breeders have a ranking system, in which the bigger and more virile ones are at the top. They’re linked with females who have a corresponding rank. If they’re kind of on the weak side, they’re paired with the drones. If they’re special like you and Button, they’re linked up with princesses, the queen, or high-ranking protos like Ocellus. Those who were foals or were born after the siege are taught to live like changelings. If they let themselves be pushed around, they’ll be at the lower end of the spectrum. If they stand up tall and are not afraid to put up a fight, they end up in the stronger spectrum.” Sclerite said, taking a deep breath before continuing.

“Mares are a different story. If it weren’t for the fact that most male drones vividly hate ponies, the mares would’ve had a similar system like the stallions. However, because of these complications, we usually end up having to pair breeders with mares and let them live a normal life. Not all breeders need to stick with a changeling. They can still live how they choose to be, which is one of the perks that Chrysalis hinted at. Chrysalis? Mind you taking over? I need to notify the staff to get ready.” The Changeling Princess stated, to which Chrysalis nodded.

“Certainly. Go ahead and tell them to be ready. I’ll be taking the time to continue answering Midnight’s questions.” The Queen replied, to which Sclerite hurriedly walked through the hallway until eventually disappearing. “Now as for the question of rebellions, they had happened in the past, but they no longer occur anymore. We had a particularly bad event that hurt both ponies and changelings, and we’re trying to find a way to solve that problem. Even though most enjoy the new life they have, those who do end up rebelling seem to believe that their life had already ended with the defeat of Equestria, and thus they risk it to try for the sake of nationalism, pride, revenge, among other things. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find a way to solve the problem prematurely due to ponies distrusting changelings and vice versa. So again, we let them decide if they want to stay or take their own lives. It does sound grim, but it’s necessary since nobody wants a repeat of that event. Of course, those two aren’t the only choices, again they could live normal lives outside the Hive, as long as they don’t harm changelings or other ponies who want to live in the Hive. Any comments before we move on?” Chrysalis asked, turning to Midnight. I noticed that his eyes were darting left to right. He seemed visibly perturbed the moment Chrysalis mentioned how they sometimes dealt with ponies.

“I… Well, I guess it’s interesting info to know… I can't say that I trust you, especially after what you just said… but if you’re really putting in that effort to change, then most of my excuses to hate you suddenly don’t work. Still, for now, don’t expect me to trust in you that easily.” Midnight said, to which the Queen nodded.

“Understood. It would be foolish of me to think that you could flip like a dime. Now, about that last question, I’ll need to know who your family members are to find them if they’re around. Alright?” The Queen asked. Midnight nodded.

“Alright. Well dad was called Thunder Storm, my mom was called Snowy Blizzard, and I had a twin sister named… uh… why are you two staring at me like that?” The young blue pegasi asked as he noticed Chrysalis’s left eye twitching. I simply look at him in shock with my mouth wide open. The monarch’s body shook a bit, and a small discharge of magic shot from her horn, causing a bolt of magic to fire from her horn and bounce around the corridor, nearly hitting me and Midnight several times.

“S-Say… Say that again? And mind telling me some of your past?” The Queen asked, staring at Midnight with a neutral expression. The stallion shifted nervously and took a step back, sweat dripping from his forehead.

“Uhm… my dad was called Thunder Storm, my mom was called Snowy Blizzard, and my sister was called Lightning Spark. I was in military school by the time the wedding came. I was friends with the Captain’s sister, and so when I realized she was missing I tried to find her when the invasion began. The last thing I remember of my dad was him telling me to fly away. I don’t remember what happened to my sister or my mother, I just flew away… say! What happened to Twilight and the bride to be anyways!” Midnight asked with a loud voice as he looked at Chrysalis. The two stared directly into each other’s eyes, neither of them moving or making a sound. My eyes darted back and forth between the two. Not only was I scared that this could suddenly turn into a fight, but for a moment, I became scared of Midnight.

“Midnight,” Chrysalis said after staying silent for a good minute, calculating her words. “Uhm… your father did terrible things to not only the Hive but to other ponies. Let’s… let’s just say that it’s better to not know what happened to him, or your mother and sister… No wonder why my breeder was hesitant to tell me who was your father.” The changeling queen stated. Midnight simply stared at her in shock, tears falling from his eyes as he realized what she was implying. My fear only grew as his body tensed up, hatred and sadness beginning to emit from his body.

“You… you killed them didn’t you?” Midnight asked, his voice barely audible before he suddenly switched into a roar. “YOU KILLED THEM DIDN’T YOU!?” The blue pegasi screamed, lunging at Chrysalis, only for her to effectively dodge the pegasi. Eventually, his rage began to dissipate, replaced by sorrow and causing him to cry. The monarch sighed as she allowed the young colt to let off some steam before continuing.

“No. I only killed your father. As for your mother and sister, I sent them to try and convince him to stop but… he… he mistook them for disguised changelings… and killed them.” Chrysalis stated, which surprised me. I had always thought that they were killed in an accident in the crossfire, but deliberately? By their own family?

Midnight simply shook his head and backed away. Disbelief, fear, rage, terror, and sorrow filled his heart as he tried to reject the terrible notion of his father, the one who he looked up to, committing such an act.

“N-No… no he wouldn’t! He wouldn’t… Would he?” The blue pegasi suddenly tripped backward and fell, tears falling from his eyes as he began to become conflicted. “He… he wouldn’t… he wouldn’t… h-he w-wouldn’t…

… h-he…

No…

He would.”

By the time he uttered those two words, the poor colt looked devastated as he began to let out a sorrowful cry, shaking me to the core. I tried to lean over to help Midnight, but Chrysalis stopped me, letting me know that he was too unstable and unpredictable at this moment and could potentially hurt me. As much as I hated it, I knew I had to let Midnight deal with this internal conflict by himself. But still, my heart ached as I saw him suffer.

“He told me during the Changeling Invasion that should I fall, that I should take down as many with me. I was to win no matter the cost, resist no matter how bleak the situation was. He told that to a 13-year-old. Me. He constantly told everyone that the changelings were going to invade and that Equestria needed to remilitarize and destroy them first, but nobody heard him. He once was a candidate to become Captain of the Royal Guard, but he told me that he wouldn’t get the job for ‘unspecified reasons’. Like, in retrospect, maybe he was a bit too extreme, but...killing my mom and my sister? Why?”

Eventually, Chrysalis stopped holding me back, allowing me to quickly go to Midnight and sit next to him. The moment he felt my presence he immediately went ahead and hugged me tightly. I stroked his spiky mane as he began to cry on my shoulder, letting go of all of his pent-up rage and sadness in a stream of tears. Eventually, his cries became nothing more than hiccups and shivers.

“Chrysalis? Is Midnight alright?” I heard as Sclerite returned and asked the monarch with a hint of worry.

“He’ll be alright… he just needs time to recover. Perhaps the event will cheer him up.” Chrysalis stated before sitting beside me and studying the young colt. She had a neutral expression on her face as she looked at Midnight who started to calm himself down. I tried to see if I could tell what she was thinking. Was she angry towards Midnight due to his biological relation to Thunder Storm but it was being offset by seeing the colt suffer? Was she happy that the son of one of our worst enemies suffering but her maternal instincts made her worry for the pegasi?

“Midnight? Want to come along and go to the event? Perhaps there is someone you remember that will make you happy.” Chrysalis asked. The young stallion nodded meekly.

“Alright… I’m just… I’m just sad… And thinking… I already had a feeling that they died, but I hoped they were out there… now that I heard this… I just wished that if they had died, then at least they didn’t go that way…” Midnight replied with a depressed voice. Chrysalis nodded sadly as she grabbed him by the hand and the two of us helped the blue pegasus up.

“We’ll make sure the event will cheer you up. The main gist of the schedule would be the banquet followed by the orgy since we’ll need a lot of energy for the fun we’re about to have.” Chrysalis said excitedly, licking her lips. Midnight simply sighed.

“Well, I guess that’s something to look forward to.” The young blue pegasi stated as the four of us began to walk through the corridors. We stayed silent for a moment, respecting Midnight’s need for silence. Then after a good five minutes, he spoke. “Say… you said that your breeder was hesitant to tell you who my father was… who is he again?” The blue pegasus asked. The queen gave him a soft smile.

“Someone who knew you long ago… Oh and you asked about Twilight and Cadence, didn’t you? Well… hmm… I honestly don’t remember what I did to them. Either they’re in a dungeon, in another sister Hive, or they’re taking care of the ponies who want to live outside of the Hive. I don’t remember. You Sclerite?” The Changeling Queen asked, which now made me think about their fate. They were originally stuck in the mines down in Canterlot, but perhaps they struck a deal with Chrysalis in the past. Princess Sclerite simply gave her a blank look before nervously laughing.

“Well… I don’t remember either, though I have a feeling it was Cadence who brought the idea of directly absorbing love through the orgies. We’ll have to look into their fates though because I have no clue. If you did put them in the dungeon and then just forgot about them, then that’s just terrible, but I’m pretty sure they’re in another hive or with the outsiders.” Sclerite stated. “If we find out where they are, we’ll tell you Midnight, since you said that Twilight was an old friend of yours. Who knows. Maybe she notices how hung you are and you two decide to have some ‘bonding time’.” The Changeling Princess said, giggling as Midnight simply deadpanned.

“I-I-I… I have no words for that.” The blue pegasi stated, causing the three of us to laugh while the blue pegasi rolled his eyes. We eventually were faced with a wall, and based on the sound of chatter from the other side I knew we had reached the main area. Chrysalis turned to face us and began to talk to Midnight.

“Well anyway, we’re here. I’ve already told you what to expect, so try and have some fun. So go ahead, satisfy your physical hunger, because after you’re done, well let’s say we’ll satisfy your more primal needs.” Chrysalis said sensually, letting a hand move down Midnight’s body and towards his balls, caressing them before giving them a tight squeeze. The queen snapped her fingers, giving us all presentable clothing. Or as presentable as she wanted, since she still kept the hearts on her nipples and nethers, but she now wore a transparent cerulean dress. I and Sclerite received similar clothing, with mine leaning towards a cyan tone and Sclerite’s leaning towards a light green one. Midnight’s pelt was replaced with white-robed clothing, making him appear like a citizen of the ancient pegasus tribe. It was a better shift from the ragged clothing he had before.

“Alright. This looks good.” Midnight exclaimed as he checked out his new attire. Chrysalis simply smiled.

“Now that you’re ready, let’s open the way shall we?” Chrysalis said, smiling before using her magic to manually open the wall.

As the walls were forced down and I saw the crowd of both changelings and ponies waiting for Chrysalis, my mind couldn’t help but go back to what she had said. Apparently, Chrysalis’s breeder knew who I was, but at the moment I couldn’t think of anybody who could fit that description. Was it a fellow guard who trained next to me? Someone who I spent time with during my short stay in Zecora’s village before it got raided? I seriously was coming up short in who could’ve known me. Friendship was hard to achieve if the pony you cared for one day suddenly wounded up captured or dead the next.

A letter formed in my mind. S. There had been two friends who I called brothers who had S in their name, but no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t remember them, nor their faces. White, purple, blue, green, the colors just mixed in my mind and became formed into a mess.

I let out a sigh. Chrysalis did say that I might have a chance to meet him, so why bang my head trying to figure it out ahead of time?

“Changelings and Ponies of the Hive!” I turned around to see Chrysalis raising her hands, her tits bouncing a bit and her face covered by a grin. “It is my great pleasure to say that the day has finally come! Today, my people, we celebrate the arrival of the last outsider pony of Equestria!”

The crowd in front of us began to cheer, and I instinctively shrunk back a bit when I felt hundreds of gazes settling down onto me. What intrigued me the most was that the ponies within the crowd were celebrating as much, if not even more than their changeling counterparts. I also noted how Chrysalis said ‘arrival’ and ‘outsider’ instead of ‘capture’ and ‘free’.

“Let us dine first before we initiate the real event shall we?” Chrysalis said, causing another roar of approval from the crowd. As the changelings and ponies began to disperse and settle in the various tables that were scattered around, the monarch queen turned around and smiled at me. “Well, let’s go ahead and eat, shall we? He’ll be coming soon.” Nodding at her, I walked down the podium with Ocellus and Sclerite right behind me. As I passed by a group of changelings, I got a mixed response. Like how Sclerite explained, the changeling males immediately began to hiss at me, their long snake-like tongues shooting out of their mouth and waving threateningly at me. The female drones however gave me seductive winks as they gazed down at my crotch. Then came the occasional pony, all of them giving me the ‘Welcome to Your New Home!’ vibe as they waved at me. I hesitantly waved back at them. I just found it off as to how these ponies act as if they had been born here since the beginning of their lives, or how the female changeling drones seemed addicted to any stallion that passed by.

It’s safe to say that things have radically changed, both for ponies and changelings.

“Sit over here please,” Chrysalis said as a random changeling drone pulled a chair for me to sit in. Ocellus sat down on my left side, with Sclerite soon coming to my right. Chrysalis sat in front of me, and soon other high-ranking changelings sat at the table. Most of the males hissed at me, but one of them nearly let out a growl.

“Pharynx, please. Calm down.” Ocellus stated, only to cause the purple-eyes changeling to puff.

“Try saying that after getting a fucking firework slammed into your chest!” Pharynx yelled, his anger towards me only increased. I soon began to sweat as his glare only intensified.

“Shit. He’s the changeling who turned into the rock that I fired at, and boy is he pissed! Hopefully, he doesn’t try to kill me in the future.” I mentally thought, my eyes darting around. I noticed how nearly half of the seats at the table were empty. Did they belong to the breeders of the female drones?

As if on cue, a brown stallion with an orange mane appeared next to Sclerite, giving her ass a nice slap and causing her to let out a surprised gasp.

“Missed me?” The young stallion asked with a grin. The changeling princess shivered before nuzzling against his chest.

“You know it. Can’t wait for the orgy so that you can get hard and ready for your momma.” Princess Sclerite replied, causing the brown colt to blush. He soon noticed me and began studying me, as if he was trying to remember something. “Say… you went to Ponyville right?” The colt asked, causing me to look quizzically at him.

“Uhm, yes. Yes, I did. Why do you ask?” I looked at him, studying his features. He wasn’t any of the ‘S’ people, but I had a feeling that I knew him. The colt continued to examine me, our eyes locking together. Then he shrugged.

“Eh. I don’t think we’ve talked to each other before… usually because I used to play with my Joystick most of the time, but I think you were around when Nightmare Moon returned right?” The brown stallion asked. I sighed. Apart from whichever breeder Chrysalis was talking about, I hoped that I would’ve had another pony I knew, but unfortunately it seemed it wouldn’t be the case.

“Yeah. I followed Twilight around. My name is Midnight Blitzer. Yours?” I asked, trying to strike up a friendly conversation while the other changelings began to talk amongst themselves. I still felt Pharynx glaring at me, so hopefully talking with this pony could distract me a bit. The feeling of hungriness began to form, so I hoped that the food would come soon. The stallion smiled.

“My name is Button Mash! I’m Princess Sclerite’s Breeder!” The colt said excitedly, giving the changeling in question a light peck in the cheek, which she happily accepted. “So you’re the guy that everybody’s been talking about? How was it like living in the wild for all that time?” I winced a bit at that question.

“Boring, alone, depressing. It could’ve been better.” I said neutrally, trying to make it so that Button didn’t have to worry about me. I noticed his ears flattening.

“Oh… uhm… well here in the Hive you can have lots of friends, as well as beautiful changelings like Sclerite! I’m guessing you’re going to be that changelings’ breeder right? She certainly looks hot.” Button guessed as he looked at Ocellus. I slowly nodded. I didn’t know if I wanted to make it official, but I felt that out of all the changelings, I would happily choose Ocellus over the rest, even if we had a rocky start.

“Yep. So uhm… who else is here?” I asked, trying to get as much info as I could. Button Mash shrugged.

“I usually end up banging Sclerite all the time, so my awareness of others' names is limited. What I do know is that there are 9 other changeling princesses, all of whom have their partners.” Button stated, but before he continued I heard his stomach groan. He let out a light-hearted laugh. “Oh, dear. Guess I’m hungry right now.”

“The food is going to come soon dear, so I recommend you to wait. Or do you want to drink some of my milk under the table?” Sclerite asked, playfully grabbing one of her tits through her clothing. Button simply grinned.

“You bet!” With that Sclerite’s horn began to glow before the two suddenly became both invisible and inaudible. Before I had the chance to roll my eyes, I felt a small hand grabbing mine. Looking around, I was surprised to see nobody, that is until I lowered my gaze and saw what appeared to be a cross between a pony and a changeling. The filly held up a plate of food above herself towards me and quickly passed it to me.

“Here’s your dinner sir.” The strange youngling said. She had the wings of a changeling, and her skin was like a changeling, but her mane and tail was that of a pony. Her hair was blue with a green streak running down the side, and she had cute blue eyes.

“Uhm. Who are you?” I asked. The filly grinned.

“My name is Shining Crystal at your service! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to leave.” The young filly said as she began to walk away. Turning my gaze back to the table, I noticed how every sit was being occupied, every seat minus the one next to Chrysalis. Suddenly I heard the filly let out an ‘oomph’ as she bumped into somebody. I looked back at her, only to widen my eyes as I saw a familiar figure.

“See you’re helping with distributing the food, am I right?” A white stallion with a blue mane asked as he lowered himself to her level. The girl simply smiled.

“Yes, dad. I’ll continue this for a few more minutes before returning to my room. See ya!” The filly said before charging her horn and disappearing via teleportation. The white unicorn let out a light-hearted laugh before sitting next to Chrysalis, and it was then when his eyes locked onto mine. For what seemed to be an eternity we stared at each other, everything apart from him vanished as my focus laid on the unicorn. Soon though, tears began to fall from the corner of his eye.

“M-Midnight?”

“S-Shining!?”

I yelled as I felt the Captain of the Royal Guard embrace me. Tears began to fall from my own eyes as I began to realize a certain fact.

I was not alone.
