Changing White
012 the new shock
Previous ChapterNext ChapterMy morning start with an uncomfortable heat covered in fur, but something is not right. As I remember that she fell asleep in Celestia's hug. 'So what's hugging my back.'
With a tired wriggling I turn and see the face of Blue Blood. 'Well that happened. It's seems I'm sandwich between BB and Tia. After trying to wiggle my self free two arms grab me and Blue Blood. Dragging us to her, she hugs us hard and mumble something about shortcake. 'This is nice, she warmer then Blue Blood. But I really need to get to the bathroom.'
Feeling the pressure form both the hug and need to let out whatever my stomach wanted let out, I start to wiggle hard to get away from great form of Tia and BB. This only made Tia to hug me harder and the pressure to become greater. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck it's coming out, please don't let me shit the bed with all of us in it. With a pop something left my body, then another and a third.
Something warm and slimy is laying between my legs, as I look down all I see is three changeling eggs.
'Syntax error'I scream.
Celestia and Blue Blood was dragged out of their slumber as Tec Screaming her lungs out. Blue Blood rolled of the bed with a big thump and Celestia jumps out of the bed landing on her hooves, lighting up her horn ready to fight. At the same time the door flies open as the royal guards runs in weapons and horn at the ready too defend from any-/every-thing.
All look around confused, then lock their gaze on Tec sitting in a reddish gel screaming as the world is about to end, tears running down her cheeks. Between her hind legs are three egg shaped forms in the size of hen eggs, there're red with markings of white and silver. All in the room freezes in place not knowing what to do about this situation.
"Wow, are those eggs?" Blue Blood voice break the silence all eyes except Tec's look over to her as she looks over the edge of the bed. Then they look back to the eggs laying in the red slime.
Celestia snaps out of whatever trans shes been in and hugs Tec and start rocking her back and forth. Tec becomes quiet, tears still staining Celestias fur. As Celestia looks down at Tec, seeing the young changeling mouth is still open wordlessly screaming in silence.
"Guards return to your posts and not a word about this to anypony." Celestia gives out order as her eyes lock onto the three eggs. The Guards give a quick salute and "Yes your highness." before they leave the room.
Blue Blood sits herself down beside the eggs and look at them in fascination. "They really are eggs and they're warm." she says as she place a hoof on one of the eggs.
"Blue Blood be careful, they're newly laid and might be fragile." Celestia warns with a soft tone. "I will take the eggs and Tec to the doctor and see why this happened. You can go back to bed if you like." She continue.
Blue Blood only shake her head. "No I will go with you, my sister is in distress and need all the support she needs."
Celestia beams with pride over how Blue Blood is thinking of her own family. "Okay Blue come next to me and I will teleport us to the medical wing." Blue Blood those as she's told and Celestia grabs the eggs in her magic and teleport them all.
Celestia and others teleport into the medical wing. Celestia puts Tec and the eggs on the table and start giving out orders to the nurses/doctors.
Medical wing Canterlot Castle.
It's been a few hours of tests on Tec and the eggs and Dr. Everhoof is exit the examination room to see a nervous Celestia who's walk back and forth in the waiting room, Blue Blood is sitting on a bench reading a book. As the doctor enters both materialized before him and start bombard him with questions. Dr. Everhoof rise his hoof too silence them as they do he lower it and take out a clipboard.
With a light cough he start explaining. "Your highness, Tec is fine, a perfect picture off health. Well shes a bit over feed."
"What do you mean shes healthy?" Celestia asked with worry in her voice. "I'm not done." He stops Celestia from continue.
"Yes, she's in great health, bit over feed as I said. Tec dose have some psychologist damage after she laid her eggs, I will recommend a therapist for her." He flips a paper on the clip board. "As for why she laid the eggs is because the over feeding as all the emotions she's been taking in is making her body overloaded with nutrition. So the body did what it can to work through all off it. As to why she laid the eggs them self, it's a changeling survival thing as she's not part of a hive and it makes her stressed by it and might be some other things." He looks up at the two royals "Have Tec been stressed by somethings in recent time?"
Both royal look at each other then back at the doctor. "Well I did introduce Tec to the nobles and told them I adopted her. Then she meet them at a party. Nothing unusual."
Dr. Everhoofs hums to him self, thinking about what can have made her so stressed.
"Oh." Says Celestia "And she told me she meet an enemy that threaten her. That might been it." Dr. Everhoof nods. "That could be it." He looks back down to the clipboard. "Now about the eggs they're fertile and healthy, all twelve of them." "Twelve, there where only three when I toke her here." Celestia scream out in astonishment hoof on her chest.
Dr. Everhoof nods and correct his glasses. "Yes, but as we started examine her the other eggs came out one by one."
"But don't you need to sleep with another pony to make foals." Asked Blue Blood then she look down at the floor then back up at the doctor and Celestia with a big smile. "Are we the parents with Tec? Are we all doing to get married?"
Celestia places a hoof on Blue Blood head and Blue Blood looks up at her with hope and happiness in her eyes. "No Blue Blood, We'rent part of the." Celestia coughs "Foal making you will learn about that later." Blue Blood deflates at the words and looks down to the floor. "Oh, okay auntie."
Celestia turn to Dr. Everhoof. "So how come Tec's eggs got fertile?" Dr. Everhoof sighs. "I don't know. All I can do is guess, as you know Tec is a Changeling and as we examine her, we found out that her pheromone she release is to attract a mate. That's why we have found a increase in ponies lusting or longing for Tec. My guess is that they're the most suited for her."
He coughs into his hoof "And as she's been ignoring her nature, her body went into overdrive and made changes so it happened." He sighs again. "So here we are. We're doing to make more test in the future. But for now she needs to rest."
"Can we at least speak with her before we leave." asked Celestia, but it sounded hollow as her mind is racing about all this new information. Dr. Everhoof give her a warm smile and nods while pushing open the door that leads to Tec. "Of course your highness, I think you three have things to talk about."
Celestia and Blue Blood enters a basic resting room. With windows looking out to Canterlot white walls, some paintings with calming motives. In the middle of the room is a bed where Tec is sitting eyes locked on a glass incubator were her new laid eggs are kept. Tec don't even react to their presence, not even her ears react.
"Tec, sweetie can you hear me?" Celestia ask in a cautious tone still filled with motherly love. Tec break her stare down with the incubator and looks at Celestia with sorrow and fear in her eyes. Dose eyes tell a story of a weak will ready to fall apart at any moment, tears have been shed that just stop to soon once again start over anew with greater force.
Celestia dashes forward and hugs Tec with all her motherly might, wishing to have the power stop all the worry and sadness. Blue Blood jumps up on the bed and join the hug. They stay like that for what felt like hours.
"Sweetie...." Celestia stop as she don't know what to say. "It's okay mom, we couldn't predict this would happen." Tec gives of a deep sigh. "Well I thought I would at least have some years before I was going to start my hive." Sadness is filling her every sentence.
"Don't worry sis, we can get through this. Did your queen's memory give you a hint how to proceed?" Blue Blood voice ask with hope and joy. They all release the hug and look at Tec, whom closes her eye taking in a deep breath.
"Yes. Her memories say, that the egg will need love every second day or so." She pauses. "They will grow into the size of ostrich eggs, then they need about seven to ten days until they hatch." Tec explain with a scrunched up face of concentration.
"Ostrich? what's that." Blue Blood ask with wonder in her voice. "Ostrich is a big bird. I can show you when we return." Celestia explain. "What more do you remember."She ask as she refocus on Tec.
"Hmm, as the eggs hatch they become grubs or larva with a small horn and fore legs. Their growth are based on how much love they get, when they meet the requirements they will make a cocoon of some kind. In there they will be about two to four weeks. As they break free form there, they will become nymphs. I that state they will be able to interact with the hive mind, before they would only connect to it."
"Do you know when and what type of changeling they will become?" Blue Blood cuts off Tec, whom look a bit annoyed.
Sighing Tec continue. "Yes I will know if they are forester, warrior, builder, caretaker and more when they are in grub state. Or at least I think so, it's part of the hive mind."
Celestia nods at the given information. "How do we take care of them, can we let ponies help."
Tec open her eyes in horror waving her hooves in front of her. "No no no no, they are the most dangerous in their grubs as they droll and can spit acid, as nymph based on what type they're they can be aggressive to the point they might kill their siblings." Tec stops waving her hooves and calm down with a big breath.
"We can't let anypony to be near them until they understand right from wrong. So maybe one-two month after they becomes nymphs." Tec say.
"Hmm, then we need a place to house them so they won't do some damage." Celestia says with one of her hoofs under her chin.
They all think in silence until Blue Blood speaks up. "Oh, oh can we make one of the treasure rooms or vaults to a hive?"
"Nah, it's to small and we don't know how strong the acid is." Tec reply.
"We could use one of the older parts off the castle." Is the idea Celestia gives.
"I don't know, that could work, but still might not be a good idea to have them in a place where servants sneak of the play." Tec give as an answer.
"What they play in the old part of the castle." Blue Blood complain with envy in her voice.
"Now, now Blue Blood. That's not the type of game your thinking about, it's a more adult thing." Celestia give her a warm smile.
Tec sits there in the bed thinking. 'Where would be a good place to make a hive. Think you know the answer to this. Then it hits her like lightning from a clear sky. "EUREKA." she jump up on her hooves and point at Celestia. "Tia give me the caves under Canterlot."
Celestia and Blue Blood looks at Tec in confusion. "Erm, Tec there's no caves under Canterlot. Not to my knowledge."
Tec put down her hoof and shake her head. "There're caves under Canterlot, they're an former crystal mine down there. It's so old that very few maybe no one knows about it." Tec claps her fore hoofs excited. "That's the perfect place to build a hive. And I can build a tunnel to my new home with Night Wind and Candy Warp, down there and make a tunnel up to the castle." Tec pauses. "Wait I don't need too, there's an old well in the gardens that lead to the mines." Tec starts to jump in place on the bed still clapping her fore hooves, until she falls over and just like someone turned off her power and she starts to snoring.
Celestia and Blue Blood stare at the sleeping changeling with wonder and confusion in their eyes, they shake their heads and Celestia activates her horn and uses her magic to place Tec in the comfortable position and tuck her in so she can sleep soundly.
Hours later after Celestia and Blue Blood left Tec in the medical wing to rest. Celestia gets information that Tec was right about the old mine under Canterlot, to her surprise there's and old well that leads to it. 'How did she know that, is it part of the show she told me about. If so I might have done a disfavor too my self for not believe in what she told me from the beginning. Then is her past life also true? Is she a monster in foals fur? I will need to call extra guards watch over her, so she won't hurt my little ponies.
Moons surface.
Nightmare Moon is sitting and reading a book she made out of dream magic, she's smiling to her self as she reads the various kinds of spells in this book. 'With this book and many others I found in the dreams and memories of Tec I can become stronger then before.' She hums to herself and looks up to Equus. 'Next time we meet oh dear sister of mine, I will break you and parade you in front of your sun loving subjects.'
Author's Note
ESS = Equestia secret serves. It's like a secret group that work in the shadows to keep an eye on nobles and diplomats. They are mostly field agents, but some work in a office and gives reports to Celestia about events, so she can be act to stop it.
What nightmare Moon is reading at the time is a spell book from DnD, she dose't understand all of the rules, but she can learn about the spells and train them based on their description.
Yes, it's the cave were Chrysalise sends Cadance, this will become a problem in the future.
