"When Twilight and her friends defeated me, I chose to run away and seek revenge! You don't have to!" Starlight pleaded, getting closer to her. "You can be the leader your subjects deserve." She concluded, the strong winds dramatically blowing her hair accentuating the resolve and conviction with which she had expressed herself.

...

"FINE!" Chrysalis shouted, smacking Starlight hoof away. "I... accept this peace offering. By the grace of the Queen of the Changelings, you are all free to go now."

A little 'What if...' story about what would happen if instead of running away and swearing revenge, Chrysalis stayed and agreed to make peace with the ponies and how she would do it.
