My little pony:Adventure of Seresia

"Your Majesty, I have returned," the cloaked pony said as she stepped into the cave. She immediately noticed Queen Chrysalis twisted in an odd position between several large cocoons hanging from the ceiling. Faint silhouettes of unfamiliar creatures could be seen inside the cocoons. As she looked around, she saw that even the cave's interior had drastically changed. Dark gray, rock-like formations, or at least things that appeared to be rock, radiated outward from the center where the cocoons hung, now occupying a third of the space.

Upon hearing her voice, Chrysalis flicked out her long tongue, hissing, before quickly descending to the ground.

"You're finally back. Where is my crystal?"

"Here it is, Your Majesty," the cloaked pony said, using her magic to open her satchel and present a crystal to Chrysalis. The queen wasted no time, snatching the crystal into her hooves and immediately holding it up. As she opened her mouth, a beam of energy flowed from the crystal straight into her mouth.

"It's a pity you're not a changeling. If you were, I might have promoted you to my royal guard. Maybe even let you share the love I'm feeding off from these creatures. But now, the energy in these crystals barely satisfies me. So while you were gone, I went out to find myself a little ‘snack.’" Chrysalis played with the now-drained crystal for a moment before casually tossing it aside, listening to the sharp sound it made as it hit the ground. She then gently stroked the cocoons.

"You need to understand something. If you were of no use to me, you'd be the one inside those cocoons right now. If you want my complete trust, you need to do more than just free me from my imprisonment and give me a few trivial crystals. Do you understand?"

"Of course, Your Majesty. You will not regret it. I will never let you down." Because of the difference in their sizes, Chrysalis had never seen the face of the cloaked pony, and she had never raised her head to make eye contact with Chrysalis. While this wasn’t particularly important to the queen, she still had a hint of curiosity about what the pony beneath the cloak looked like. Although her tone remained calm, her meaning was clear.

"You’ve never told me your name. And you walk around in that ridiculous tight cloak all the time. Honestly, your fashion sense is worse than King Sombra's. Or are you hiding some dirty little secret?"

"My appearance would not aid your grand plans, Your Majesty, so I choose to conceal my lowly form. As for my name, you can call me Feng chen," the cloaked pony said, bowing. Chrysalis tried to lean down to get a closer look at her, but Feng chen seized the opportunity to bow even lower, pressing her face closer to the ground. Realizing that Feng chen had no intention of revealing herself, Chrysalis frowned in mild frustration, briefly considering using her hoof to forcibly pull back the hood.

"I have been observing over the past few days and gathered reliable information. Twilight Sparkle has moved from Canterlot to a castle in Ponyville. She’s currently hosting the ambassador I mentioned from the continent of Cyrislelia. She’s unlikely to leave Ponyville for a while. Without any of the magic that used to prevent changelings from shifting forms, Your Majesty, you can strike without hesitation."

"Oh? Finally, some good news." Chrysalis pulled back the hoof she had been about to use to uncover Feng chen’s face. Compared to her curiosity, she was far more interested in the opportunity for revenge.

"Finally, I've waited long enough! Twilight Sparkle... all these years... you’ve always managed to stand in my way, the greatest obstacle to my success! Let’s see how you handle this diplomatic crisis! All the pain I’ve endured... I’ll make sure you suffer tenfold! Hahaha!" Chrysalis's wild laughter echoed through the cave as she dramatically pointed her hoof at a crude clay figure of Twilight that she had made in a corner. Feng chen followed her gaze but remained silent.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan, but I will need your assistance."

"Oh? You actually need my help? Go on, tell me about your plan." Chrysalis raised an eyebrow, lazily returning to the "throne" she had crafted for herself. She settled down in a comfortable position, clearly intrigued.

"According to my knowledge, that ambassador is also searching for the Alicorn Amulet. She plans to request its return from Twilight. We only need to find out the amulet's location before she does. After that, we can impersonate Twilight and refuse the ambassador’s request, sowing discord between them. Finally, we’ll steal the amulet. To ensure everything goes smoothly, I will also give you a pendant. You just need to trick Twilight into wearing it. Leave the rest to me."

"Oh? Sounds like a solid plan. But how do you know the ambassador is also looking for the Alicorn Amulet?"

"I overheard it," Feng chen replied nonchalantly.
