My little pony:Adventure of Seresia

"My queen, take a look at this." Feng Chen presented a necklace to Chrysalis. It was a milky white pendant, oval in shape with a narrower top and wider bottom, polished to a glossy finish. Engraved on its surface was a bird-like creature, appearing as if ready to take flight; its eyes were sharp, and the feathers intricately detailed.

At the top was a small hole threaded with a black string, connected to a milky white bead. On either side, there were smaller knots secured the necklace in place. Extending further down, the string had five more beads interspersed with knots.

"What is this thing?" Chrysalis took the necklace with her magic, twirling it around while closely inspecting it.

"As long as you can trick Twilight into wearing this treasure, my queen, it will quietly drain and absorb her power," Feng Chen said with a hint of superiority in his voice, as though boasting of his creation. "This is my carefully crafted trinket. In no more than seven days, no matter how powerful an Alicorn, this will drain her completely dry!"

"Is it really as powerful as you claim?" Chrysalis raised an eyebrow, seemingly unimpressed by the tiny item in her hoof. "I can't feel any magic energy coming from it. You’re not trying to deceive me, are you?"

"My esteemed queen, I assure you, this item is merely a vessel. It only activates and starts absorbing magic once it senses magical energy," Feng Chen explained as he took the Amulet, slipped it around his neck, and lit his horn in a small display. A faint stream of magic flowed into the pendant, causing its engraving to glow briefly before fading away.

"For discretion, it absorbs only a small amount at a time. But with somepony like Twilight, who uses magic constantly, I have every reason to believe it will fill with her magic soon enough." Feng Chen removed the pendant and gave it back to Chrysalis.

"Oh? An interesting little toy," Chrysalis mused, opening her mouth and extending her long tongue toward the pendant, trying to absorb the little magic stored within it. However, nothing happened, and she grew irritated. "How do I extract the power from it?"

"All you need to do is cast a reversal spell before putting it on, my queen." With Feng Chen’s guidance, Chrysalis quickly learned the reversal spell. Instead of wearing the necklace, she spoke the incantation, opened her mouth again, and successfully drained the magic from the pendant.

"Not bad, not bad. I like this thing," Chrysalis said, licking her lips as she tossed the necklace onto the table.

"Now, what’s next? You said you had another plan to tell me about?"

"Of course, my queen. Allow me to explain."

The next morning, Chrysalis carefully pushed aside the bushes in front of her, revealing the towering crystal structure of the Castle of Friendship. She surveyed the area, seemingly wary of being spotted.

"Making me disguise myself as Twilight... doesn’t she know how much I despise her!" Chrysalis muttered in frustration. Though she hated the task, she transformed into Twilight’s likeness and examined herself for any imperfections. Once satisfied, she confidently strode toward the castle.

"Princess Twilight? Weren't you supposed to return tonight?" Just as Chrysalis, disguised as Twilight, was about to push open the castle doors, an unfamiliar voice called from behind. She turned to see three ponies in unusual attire standing before her.

"These must be the foreign ponies Feng Chen mentioned... What odd clothing," Chrysalis muttered under her breath, quickly recalling what she knew about them. "Ah... um, yes! The meeting ended early, so I came back since I had some free time. How... how was your day, Meng Yu?"

"Thanks to you, Princess, it went quite well. My guards and I took a stroll around Ponyville, and we happened to run into you on our way back." After exchanging a few pleasantries, Meng Yu stared deeply at Chrysalis, who began to feel uneasy under her gaze. Worried that her disguise had been compromised, Chrysalis was caught off guard when Meng Yu suddenly asked, "Where is your little assistant?"

"You mean that fool... I mean, Spike? He had something to take care of and will be back later. No need to worry about him," Chrysalis exhaled in relief. Before Meng Yu could say anything else, Chrysalis had already concocted several escape plans in her mind, including taking the ambassador hostage.

"I see. Let’s head inside then, Princess," Meng Yu said.

"After you," Twilight—rather, Chrysalis—suddenly became courteous, surprising Meng Yu slightly. She exchanged a glance with her guards before walking ahead. As one of them opened the door, they led Chrysalis into the castle.

"Princess Twilight... may I ask if there’s been any progress on what we discussed last night?" Meng Yu broke the silence as they walked through the castle corridors, glancing at Chrysalis, who had been quietly observing the castle’s structure. Realizing she was being watched, Chrysalis quickly responded with a nervous yet polite smile, "Ah... sorry? I was so busy, I completely forgot. Could you remind me again?"

"Last night, I invited you to my quarters to discuss the matter of the Alicorn Amulet. I represent Seresia and hope you will return the Amulet to us."
