A young filly wakes up in a mysterious room. A room that belongs to the one being nobody ever wants to meet.

A young filly wakes up in a mysterious room. A room that belongs to the one being nobody ever wants to meet.

I wrote this late at night so don't expect the best. ESPECIALLY since this is my first oneshot on here.

Becalmed

A pair of cerulean eyes with slitted pupils squinted in the darkness, trying to make out the environment around them. It was almost pitch black, and the space felt a little cramped.

As the eyes adjusted, it could make out bits of royal-looking clothing hanging from above, along with a few boxes strewn about. It was a closet. That much was obvious.

Having been ridden of fatigue, the eyes could see much more clearly in the darkness. They nuzzled their way around a box and to one of the closet doors, a black bifold door, and slowly cracked the door open.

Outside was a bedroom. A very royal-looking bedroom at that. It had all the things you'd expect out of a Royal Bedroom whose owner preferred a darker-toned look. Queen Sized Bed in the middle, a mirror on a table opposite from the closet, a very classy chandelier with candles instead of electric lights, and more candles on the walls. Two per wall. A computer sat on a desk in a corner, a digital clock rested on a nightstand next to the bed, Its red numbers reading 3:02. Whether that was AM or PM the eyes didn't know.

The eyes blinked as their wearer could hear muffled voices outside. They sounded like formal greetings, with a distinctive female voice barking an order out. Afterward, the muffled sound of shuffling hooves could be heard. But before the eyes could examine and listen any further, the door to the room was slammed open. A small gasp escaped from the eyes' wearer upon being startled.

"Listen." That same feminine voice began, clearly agitated and much less muffled. "I just need some time by myself. So please, don't bother me unless it's an absolute emergency."

"Yes, my Queen. I'll let anyling in these halls know." A male voice replied.

"Thank you."

As the door shut, the eyes could make out a tall four-legged figure with green eyes and wavy teal hair. The hair seemed almost broken up in some places. In fact... the same went for the figure's hooves. They had holes in them. Why did they have holes in them?

The figure let out a groan and put a hoof on her face, closing her eyes. "I can't keep putting up with this nonsense..." She slowly said.

She opened her eyes and looked around the dark room, scoffing before her horn, an oddly misshapen horn, lit up green. Within a second, each candle in the room lit up, filling the room with a nice warm glow.

This newfound light revealed a bit of the Cerulean eyes' wearer. It was a young white-coated filly, with white hair, and a horn resting on Its head. It had little fangs in its mouth.

As its eyes quickly adjusted to the light, they widened. The filly had just clocked who exactly she was looking at. And whose closet she was in. The figure was the one being nobody. Nobeing. Ever wanted to meet.

Chrysalis

The filly's heart began beating faster as she ducked behind the door. Why was it there? How was it there? Did she just become the world's unluckiest filly? Those questions rocketed through the filly's mind.

But as the filly thought, she could hear... humming. Coming from Chrysalis. Though she didn't want to, curiosity got the best of her. She slowly peaked her head out to look.

Chrysalis was sitting on her bed, just... humming. The filly didn't know what song it was, but it sounded like a slow song.

If the filly was being honest, Chrysalis looked... well, she looked somewhat like the horrid queen she had heard of, but Chrysalis looked... quite beautiful. There was something about her dark chitin, her teal hair, and her green eyes that just... worked. It was a great color combination.

But then she noticed her teeth. Her sharp and shiny teeth. They put her own little fangs to shame in terms of sharpness, strength, and looks. But in a way, the teeth added to Chrysalis' oddly beautiful look.

Chrysalis closed her eyes and hummed to herself, calming herself with the song she had in her head.

But finally, she sighed and laid back on her bed, staring up onto the ceiling. "Why am I doing this... I should be going out myself. I don't have much reason to stay here other than to protect my subjects myself."

Another thing the filly was surprised about was Chrysalis' voice. It didn't sound robotic or raspy. It sounded like she was a normal pony. Someone you could have a chat with and think nothing of her voice.

"It's just that," Chrysalis continued thinking out loud. "I'm always stressed, I'm almost always overworked, I'm always trying to keep everything in check..."

Her train of thought seemed to stop at a station and burst a safety valve after that, as she sighed and closed her eyes. The filly didn't know if Chrysalis was going to sleep, or simply resting her eyes.

The filly knew they could try and sneak out if Chrysalis were to go to sleep, but the issue was that she was in a Changeling Hive. She didn't know where in the world she was, what the layout of the hive was, or if she would even be able to navigate to a window.

What she did know, was how many changelings there was bound to be. Even if there were only a hundred, that's still a hundred changelings hunting down one filly. Changelings who likely knew the place like their own four hole-filled hooves.

And if Chrysalis were to come after her, she couldn't outfly her! In terms of top speed, maybe. She was smaller and generated way less drag than the Queen. And changelings in general weren't known to be inherently speedy. But what Chrysalis did have was maneuverability. Changelings could go straight up, straight down, left, right, forward, backward, all that, without ever having to change their bodies' physical direction. This was something Thestrals, Pegasi, and Griffons could not do.

And of course, Chrysalis had vastly superior knowledge of the Hive's layout. Even if it was just between the filly and Chrysalis, Chrysalis would always catch her no matter where she went, or how fast.

As she stared at Chrysalis, the filly tried desperately to think of a way to get out. The room had no windows or opening, but she did spot a vent she could squeeze through off in the corner. On the wall, next to a tall dresser.

Suddenly, Chrysalis rolled over towards her, and opened her eyes. The filly's eyes widened as they made direct eye contact, causing Chrysalis' eyes to widen as well. As soon as the changeling queen sat upright, the filly shot deeper into the closet. Chrysalis saw her. Chrysalis SAW HER.

That's it, she was dead. She might as well have been roadkill on the side of a forest road. Now her only hope was to slink away into the closet and pray to Celestia that Chrysalis didn't investigate further.

And that's exactly what she did. She curled up into a little ball in the corner of the closet and squeezed her eyes shut.

Is this what my punishment is? The filly wondered. For running away from my parents? They hurt me! What was I supposed to do?!

She heard Chrysalis giggle a bit. "Now which of my subjects is playing hide and seek with me?"

The filly could hear Chrysalis getting off the bed and slowly walking towards the closet. "I wonder where they could have gone!" She playfully said, acting distressed.

She shivered as Chrysalis stopped outside the closet. The bifold doors creaked as they opened slowly, and Chrysalis peeked inside.

"Hm, perhaps they hid in one of my dresses?" She asked. "Maybe over here?"

The filly's vision went a little green as Chrysalis lit her horn up.

"Or perhaps they're-" Chrysalis stopped upon seeing the tiny white filly. Its small leathery wings to its sides, its tail curled around its body, and her eyes squeezed shut.

"A... thestral?" Chrysalis asked. She noted the horn on the filly's head. "With... a horn? In my room?"

The filly dare not speak, hoping beyond hope Chrysalis went away. Even though there was zero chance that would happen now.

"He-... Hello, little one. How did you get here?"

The filly was too scared to speak. She could feel Chrysalis' soft breathing on her.

"Your queen demands you to speak." Chrysalis slightly increased her aggression.

Still way too scared.

Chrysalis growled a little. Suddenly, the filly screamed as Chrysalis suddenly bit down and sent her flying onto the bed. She landed on the covers and ended up on the edge of the mattress, closest to Chrysalis.

"Now that you aren't curled up in a corner," Chrysalis began as the filly scrambled to right herself and stared at her in fear. "We can talk." She walked over to the bed, smirking at the False Alicorn's fear. "Who are you, and how are you here?"

"I... I-I..." The filly stammered as Chrysalis stopped just a couple of feet from the bed.

"You..?" Chrysalis had to admit, this filly had quite the beautiful color palette. She looked almost ethereal. "Do you not know how you got here?"

"N-No... no..." The filly's voice was a little small. Not so much squeaky, but you could tell she was very young.

"Alright then. What's your name little one?"

The filly was a little confused. She was expecting Chrysalis to be barking orders and generally being an aggressive she-demon, but Chrysalis seemed more like a laid-back police lieutenant.

"I... I... Uh..."

"Come on, spit it out."

"S-S-... Savestra..."

"Savestra..." Chrysalis smiled. "What a nice name. Reminds me of Nissan's Savestral Silvia. How old are you?"

"Uh... mm..."

Chrysalis deadpanned. Savestra clearly knew who she was, but Savestra seemed to think she was going to suck the love out of her or really hurt her. That is what most ponies thought of her, after all.

"Well?" Chrysalis leaned in a little more, looking into Savestra's eyes. Savestra didn't move from her spot, fearing the worst.

They stared in silence for a few seconds. Chrysalis didn't like this. She didn't want to sit here for hours because somepony had stage fright. She growled a little as she came within a foot of Savestra.

Suddenly, as she growled, Savestra jumped up and slammed her forehooves into her face. Chrysalis yelped in surprise and recoiled, putting a hoof to her face.

Savestra's eyes widened. "Chrysalis! I-... I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! It was... instinct!"

Tears welled up in the filly's eyes. She had thrown away her life. Just like that. She wouldn't grow up and buy her dream car, she wouldn't experience having friends, she would never experience any of that. She had thrown her entire life away, all because she couldn't keep her hooves still.

"P-Please... I... I didn't mean to..." Savestra stared at Chrysalis as she rubbed her jaw.

"It's... ow... It's alright." Chrysalis soothed, though a bit of agitation was present. She stared at Savestra and took a step forward. "I know it wasn't your fault. Anyone probably would do it out of self-defense."

Savestra relaxed a little. Though she was confused about why Chrysalis had just spared her, she was grateful. "O-Okay..." She looked down.

SLAM! "BUT YOU SHOULDN'T. HAVE DONE THAT!"

Savestra couldn't even look up before Chrysalis lunged forward and picked her up in her maw, biting down on the filly. Savestra could barely scream as Chrysalis increased pressure on her tiny body,

"P-Please! Chrysalis! AH! I'm sorry! S-Stop!" Savestra pleaded, stretching out her wings and desperately trying to push herself out of Chrysalis' maw.

With a sickening crack, Savestra felt over a dozen parts of her skin break as Chrysalis bit down just that extra bit harder. Satisfied, the queen opened her jaw and let the filly fall back on the bed. Tears streamed down Savestra's face.

"There. Now we're even."

Savestra laid on her stomach, sobbing. She didn't need to ask why Chrysalis had done that. She knew. Why she called it 'even' was beyond her. But this was Chrysalis. She was extraordinarily lucky she wasn't killed on the spot.

Chrysalis looked down at the sobbing filly. She had done quite the damage to her poor, already weak body. She had punctured dozens of tiny holes on her back and on her belly. It was a little disheartening, seeing the blood slowly seeping out of the tiny holes. She grimaced.

After a moment, Savestra felt something warm and slightly wet touch her body. It began touching spots next to her wing, sliding around in tiny circles before moving to a different spot.

Is Chrysalis... licking me? Savestra wondered. Even her mind was stuttering. Wh... why?

Though the pain was unbearable, feeling the warmth from Chrysalis licking her back was oddly soothing. It was sending mixed messages. Chrysalis didn't seem to hate her, she seemed to be at least passive with her, but she had just hurt her way, way more she'd ever been hurt. What did Chrysalis want with her? Why was Chrysalis even licking her?

"Wh... why..." Savestra softly asked.

Chrysalis stopped. "You know why." She went back to licking. After a moment, stopped licking and tilted her head down.

Savestra felt something hard and pointy slink under her body and suddenly flip her over onto her back. Before she could protest, she felt Chrysalis begin to lick the damage done to her belly. Oddly enough, the pain in her back was mostly gone.

Savestra opened her eyes and looked at Chrysalis. Her green tongue licked the filly's bloody fur. "Wh... what are you d-doing?"

"I'd rather not have my bed drenched in blood, thank you very much," Chrysalis replied.

Savestra couldn't argue with that. She knew from experience that dried blood on a sheet didn't feel good.

She let her head fall back on the bed and closed her eyes, letting Chrysalis do whatever she wanted to do. At this point, as long as Chrysalis didn't hurt her anymore, she didn't care what she did.

"Moove your, bahhdeh," Chrysalis slowly and quietly sang as she licked. She wasn't able to sing perfectly because of her tongue sticking out, but she didn't mind. "tooo thee end of time. I'll go, crayyzeh. Thinkin' about-chu! Ah' need your love! Cause I'm on fye-ya I need your love come run to me! Ah' need your love! I'm getting higher and higher! Gonna be so free!" She began humming again, a slightly fast-paced tune.

The funny thing was that Savestra knew that song. It was called 'I Need Your Love', and was a 'Eurobeat' track released last month. Fitting that someone like Chrysalis would like it.

"Chrysalis..." Savestra quietly said, wiping the tears from her face.

Chrysalis stopped humming and looked at her.

"Um... what are you gonna do to me?" She softly asked, fear in her eyes.

Chrysalis chuckled and stopped licking. "I don't really know. For one, I want to know how in the world you got into the hive, more so my own room. How long have you been here?"

"I... I woke up a few minutes ago. T-Then you came in..."

"Hm."

Savestra felt Chrysalis lick one long streak near her rear left leg. Likely licking up a streak of blood.

Suddenly, she felt Chrysalis lick a certain part of her. A certain sensitive part of her. Chrysalis pressed into the part a bit before immediately retracting. Savestra felt a wave of feeling flow across her body.

"Please, don't take that the wrong way. I beg you." Chrysalis quickly said. "Blood had simply dripped in. There's still a small bit deeper in, but I feel like if I try to get it, I... I fear I may not be able to stop trying to get it. If you know what I mean..."

Despite her young age, Savestra knew what Chrysalis meant, and nodded.

With one more lick, Chrysalis retracted and lightly smiled at how well she had cleaned the little Thestral. The yellow light coming from the candles gave her white coat a warm yellow pearlescent.

"You know..." Chrysalis began. "You are prih-tee lucky I went so easy on you in my little... blowout."

Savestra looked at her, tears welling up in her eyes as she processed the sentence. "Y-You went... e-easy?" She couldn't imagine what it would have been like if Chrysalis had gone at her hard.

"Mmmhm... heh, to think." Chrysalis' tone subtly changed. It became Smoother and Seductive, more Lustful. "Right now, I have a single young life at the mercy of my hooves..." She caressed Savestra's wavy white hair. "A life so soft... so weak... so scared... so... so very helpless..."

Savestra whimpered. Chrysalis was teasing her. She was probably just waiting to sink her teeth in and suck all the love and color out of her.

"Why, I think if I tried, I could bite you in half."

"Y-You... You c-could?" Savestra whimpered.

"Yep... I could snap your tiny frail body right in half with my maw, and nobody would ever know... not even my closest subjectsss..." She stuck her tongue out and talked like a snake for the last word.

Savestra couldn't believe it. She was going to die. All that before was just a setup for her to drop her guard. Chrysalis didn't love her. She just wanted to play with her food before killing it, sucking the love out. This was it.

She couldn't hold it back anymore. She curled up and cried into the sheets. Tears streamed out of her eyes, knowing this was the end.

Chrysalis stared at the helpless filly, remaining almost emotionless.

"Please l-let m-me go..." Savestra whimpered, looking up at Chrysalis.

The changeling let off a light smile. "I'm afraid I cannot do that." She soothed.

"P-Pwease let me go..." Savestra's voice grew more and more desperate with each passing second.

"Again, I cannot do that..." Chrysalis frowned a little.

"Pwease whet me g-go..." Savestra's head fell to the sheets. She closed her eyes.

"Uh-... uh..." Chrysalis had never seen a being so desperate. A being that seemed willing to do whatever it takes... just to live. She didn't know what to say. It was like Savestra was regressing in age as time went on. Her voice was falling apart. Her body was shivering. "I... I can't..." Chrysalis slowly said, her own voice slightly cracking.

"Pwe-hease... whet... me... go-ho-hooo..." Savestra fell apart, grabbing a small pillow and pressing her face into it, holding it tight.

Chrysalis stared at Savestra, her jaw slightly ajar. She had totally broken this little filly, who had done nothing wrong.

She hated to admit it, but she could feel tears well up in her own eyes. She wasn't teasing a filly! She was torturing a foal!

"Puh-... Please stop crying..." She laid a hoof on Savestra's hair, gently stroking it. She hated seeing such a broken being, knowing this was something that could happen to one of her own subjects. The thought that one of her own subjects could experience this sort of trauma at such a young age was disheartening.

Savestra couldn't stop. All sense of the world around her was gone. She could barely hear anything, and horrible thoughts flooded her mind.

Chrysalis shook her head and looked away. She couldn't take this. Her plan now was to hopefully let Savestra cry until she no longer could, then hopefully calm her.

She got off the bed and walked to the mirror. It was one of those fancy mirrors that sat atop a desk with drawers. 'Makeup Desk' is what it was.

It was worn and had a slight mess of things on it, most of the things were not even makeup. She rarely used this anymore other than to look at herself and make sure she looked good. And even then, the full-body mirror in the corner was better for that purpose.

She looked at herself in the mirror. "Chrysalis... w-what have you duh-hun..." A tear trickled down her face.

She looked back at the crying filly. It was horrible... seeing someone crying like this... what kind of a monster was she, to make a Filly cry like this? To make anyone cry like this?

She looked away and down at the desk. Her eyes drifted to focus on one thing that stood out from the rest.

A violin. An immaculate, black with a teal accent, woodgrain violin. Actually, the teal accent was pure diamond. It gave an impressive sheen when in the right light, and it made the violin near-indestructible to conventional beatings.

She stared at the violin, examining it for a few seconds before looking back at Savestra. Upon seeing the crying filly, she immediately looked back at the violin and let out a breath.

Chrysalis picked the violin and matching-color bow up, holding the bow in her right forehoof and levitating the violin with her magic. She looked at them, then at Savestra, then back at the Violin and Bow. She took in a deep breath. 1, 2, 3, 4, She thought, then let it out. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

And finally, she touched the Bow to the Violin, and began to sing.

"Our ship, she dreams, of wiiind in her sails,
Of wind iiin her sails, unfurrrlled.
And Shy...ning as, we croooss the sea,
We croooss the sea, for hooome..."

Then we'll allll raaiise our voiceees,
A sooong iiiin our heeaarrts.
And set, our eyyyes, on diiistant shooores
With wind in her saaiils, aagaaaiiiin."

She began to smoothly move the bow with her hoof across the violin, guiding it along each string and creating the most beautiful sound. She was basically recreating the lyrics she had just sang with the violin, putting all feeling and passion into each note.

Savestra, still quietly crying, tilted her head to see the changeling queen playing. No sooner did she do so, she became entranced. The way Chrysalis played, the way she moved, the fact she was playing with her hoof and not her magic, it was just... beautiful. No, beautiful was an understatement.

Chrysalis looked at Savestra and smiled, playing the violin a little bit louder. Savestra could tell that she had been practicing the violin for a very long time. She played with unmatched efficiency and smoothness, putting even a certain Sun Goddess to shame in terms of Gracefulness.

A small wave of magic traveled across the room, changing the candles to a light blue hue. When Chrysalis looked at Savestra, the golden pearlescent had changed to an ethereal blue. She was almost glowing. The filly looked... perfect. And knowing she had just tortured this perfect being, brought a tear to her eye.

Savestra had never listened to this kind of music before, but she adored the way Chrysalis played it. It was smooth, heartfelt, and even tear-jerking. Though she began to develop heartache, she didn't care. She could only smile as Chryssy began singing again, a tear of joy falling down the queen's face.

"When we have our hooves ooon the groouund.
We'll sow our good forrr-chuune arooouuund...
There'll be feeasting and pleeaasurrre.

No more rationing and meeasurrre...
When weee, have the wiiind in our saaaiiillls."

Chrysalis had temporarily used magic to play as she walked to the edge of the bed and stopped, playing a few last notes before slowly stopping. She opened her eyes and smiled at Savestra, who had sat upright and stared back, her face full of loving wonder.

Savestra slowly got up, took a few steps to the edge of the bed, and finally hugged Chrysalis' neck with her forehooves. Chrysalis was admittedly a small bit surprised, but she hugged Savestra with a hoof, chuckling.

"See?" Chrysalis began with a soothing, motherly tone. "I'm not the raging tyrant you may have heard of me as. I'm just a queen wanting to do what's best for her subjects." She set the Violin and Bow on one of the nightstands and got on the bed, carrying Savestra as she laid on her back and rested her head on a pillow.

"In fact," She continued. "You could say that I'm just... a girl with a temper."

Savestra giggled. "I guess... C-Chrysalis?"

"Yes?"

"Why... w-why did you bite me? And... t-tease me like that?" Fear streaked through Savestra.

Chrysalis sighed. "I apologize for such deplorable behavior. I... admittedly, I kind of like that sort of thing. Just the feeling of clamping down on something... I dunno. And just seeing how far I can degrade a being is... interesting. But I never thought I'd degrade someone to the level you were at... s-sorry..."

"Well... if you hadn't done that... you wouldn't have played that song for me..."

Chrysalis smiled. "Hm. Maybe... speaking of which, what do you think?"

"It's... It was beautiful. Did you make it yourself?"

"I wish I did. I found a script for it a few months ago when disguised in a port. It's meant to be a sea shanty. I guess it still is, but I mean one of those dumb high-tempo ones with the Accordions and such. I decided to pick it up and practice it. The lyrics aren't mine, but the instrumental? Absolutely."

"Well, you... you're amazing. What's it called?"

"Becalmed. Just, 'Becalmed'."

Savestra smiled. "That's a nice name."

"Mm... now the real question is, how do you like my Violin?"

"It's... It's beautiful. I know... I know an earth pony filly in Ponyville that would love to learn from you. She's really into string instruments. Tavi... something."

Chrysalis tilted her head in wonder. "Ponyville?"

"It's... a town. In Equestria. Have you never heard of it?"

"Equestria... mm, no. I have not heard of it. Though it sounds like a nice place. Perhaps you should take me there."

"Hm... you should head to a music show. I'm sure you'd do amazingly..."

Chrysalis was rather touched by this. "You really think so?"

"Yeah... nopony would care who you were if they heard your voice, and your violin skills..." Savestra snuggled into Chrysalis' chest, surprised at how soft she was. "Your voice and your skills are perfect..."

If Chrysalis had Pegasus Wings or Bat Wings, she'd be curling them around Savestra. But, she was a changeling. And her wings couldn't stretch around even her own body. Her best substitute was to cuddle Savestra with her hooves and gently caress the Horned Thestral's hair.

Speaking of her having a horn, Chrysalis thought. "Where did you get this by the way?" She poked at the tip of Savestra's horn.

Savestra barely moved, never wanting to part with Chrysalis. "The... horn? I was born with it. My parents, and all the other Thestrals, they... didn't like me because of it. Said I wasn't a proper Thestral..."

A natural-born Alicorn... I am holding the world's first Natural-Born Alicorn... And also the worlds first Alicorn Thestral...Chrysalis thought before addressing the other thought. "They are fools for speaking such slander. You have these durable wings, the entrancing eyes, the fluffy ears, these adorable little fangs, you are a Thestral. Through and Through."

"Hm... I... I love you Chrysalis..."

As Savestra rubbed her tiny body against Chrysalis, the queen knew that Savestra was more than special. Savestra was... Savestra was hers.

She had always wanted a son or daughter. Not as an heir to the throne, but someone to perhaps spend some quiet time with every now and again, and to also help out. But the issue was that she had never been, well, into any of her subjects. Sure, a couple of VERY brave souls had enticed her, but she always thought they only wanted her because of the benefits they thought they'd receive. So she'd never been with anyone, not even when disguised out in nearby villages.

And yes, this did mean that she had never done it with anyone.

And if Chrysalis was being honest, having a form of authority in her hive that didn't rely on Love and simply needed to venture out to the nearby forest for food and water, could prove invaluable.

Pushing the strategic thoughts aside for a bit, she sighed. "Savestra... would you..." She was unsure if she wanted to ask or not.

Savestra looked up at her. "Hm?" The filly's eyes were the most beautiful she'd ever seen, likewise for Savestra to the Changeling Queen.

Savestra's Cerulean Eyes glowed a tiny bit with Chrysalis' Emerald Eyes doing the same.

"Would you like to stay with me?" Chrysalis finally let out.

Savestra grew five times happier. "Yes... please..." She yawned. "I'd love that..." She snuggled back into Chrysalis' chitin, not knowing why she was tired.

"Are you sure no-... nopony is going to miss you?"

"N-No..."

Chrysalis smiled before closing her eyes and humming the first half of 'Becalmed', lightly rocking the filly. She thought of the words in her mind as she hummed. A reinforcement to make sure she didn't make a mistake.

Our ship, she dreams, of wiiind in her sails,
Of wind iiin her sails, unfurrrlled.
And Shy...ning as, we croooss the sea,
We croooss the sea, for hooome."

Then we'll allll raaiise our voiceees,
A sooong in our hearts.
And set, our eyyyes, on diiistant shooores
With wind in her saaiils, aagaaaiiiin.

Chrysalis opened her eyes and looked down to find Savestra sleeping. Sure, she had put a sleeping spell on the filly, but she wanted to know what being truly loved felt like. Savestra was too ethereal. Too perfect to be in this world. And yet here she was, in Chrysalis' arms. The queen loved her, and nothing could change that.

"Welcome to the hive..." Chrysalis whispered. "Princess Savestra~."

Author's Note

I had this whole thing in my head for a while before writing it. And I gotta say... I really hate making myself cry.

So, a bit of trivia, the song is not mine. It is the song linked below. It's amazing and Freya had the perfect voice for it. In fact, I highly recommend listening to the song, then going back and reading with Chrysalis singing in that voice. It's just beautiful.

Also, I have no idea how to properly tag this story, so whatever you see is just me guessing.
