The first thing I hear is the sound of a heartbeat, like it's marching towards with such fierce certainty that it scares me. I don't know what this is, but it's something that cannot be stopped, something that grows louder and louder at each passing moment.

I keep wondering what it could be, till finally I start to hear stone cracking. At this point I wonder where am I.
There's only darkness around me, as if someone had locked me in a completely dark room.
Who am I again? I think back, while trying to peer into my memories and see exactly that.

Anger, Hate, Jelousy, Emptyness.

That's right, Chrysalis, queen and the strongest of the changelings. I was betrayed by my subjects, forced into an evil group, and defeated by those pesky little ponies, forever locked into a stone statue with that brute Tirek and annoying little Cozy Glow.

I had stopped thinking after some time, locked away with nothing but my thought, sometimes coming in and out of conciousness, but finally I hear something, the sound of this heartbeat.
wait a minute.

The sound of MY heartbeat

Could it be that finally the magic that locked me in here is finally weakening?

I start to move my muscles, see if I can break the stone that binds me here.

Yes, I feel like it isn't so tight, I can wiggle inside this stone prison. I try to move my chest, around my shriveld heart, see if that's the cracking I heard. I must free myself, I must destroy those who wronged me, I will make everyone who betrayed me pay, and then I will create a new kingdom for me to rule over, after all, a girl like me must have everything she desires.

I start to hear more of the stone slowly curmbling. Judging by my heartbeat, I can only guess that this will take a while. Did discord pass through this also when he freed himself from this spell? I can only speculate as that backstabbing fool probably enjoys some tea with his "little pony friends. Ugh, simply the idea makes me sick to my stomach. The only love I need is the unconditionaly loyalty of my subject, and the love I drain from other, lesser beings.

Finally, after some time, I hear some stone fall anf hit the ground. Am I finally gonna be free? I try to conjure some magic, but I'm still weakened by the time spent locked away, and I can barely conjure a beam to break my prison.

Ugh, if only there was some foolish creatures for me to drain of love.
