'Where am I?' I thought to myself as opened my eyes and looked around only able to find myself surrounded by darkness.

'Is It a dream? If so, then It's nice to know I'm lucid for once instead of It usually being out of my control,' I concluded to myself as I tried feeling around only to come into contact with something brittle-like.

'Feels weird," I said to myself as I tried pushing only to be shocked by how weak I felt.

'What the fuck? I mean I know I'm not the best In the muscle department but come on,' I complained to myself as I tried pushing again only to be quickly tired out.

'Alright fuck this,' I thought as I began trying to shove the brittle-like material In front of me as I began to feel everything around me begin to tilt causing me to panic at the unsuspected response to my attempts as I continued to fall.

'Ohshitohshitohshitohsh-,' I thought inwardly panicking until the darkness seemed to disappear as light suddenly seemed to break through while also simultaneously kicking me out of the darkness and into a now brighter environment while also onto a harder surface as I fell face first.

'Ughhh, of course with my luck I fall face first onto the- ground?' I question as I slowly feel the surface to confirm that It did indeed feel like I was on something rock-like.

As my eyes slowly got used to the brightness after being trapped In the dark the first thing I registered was the amount of eggs that surrounded me.

Taking In my environment I noticed how almost everything around me either lacked color or had some sort of greenish glow to It as I tried to figure out the purpose for It.

I then looked around me to see tiny white and black creatures all crawling out of their now broken grayish green eggs as they looked around hissing at each other which caused me to look down at myself only to find that I looked the same as them as I flexed my now darkened tiny fingers.

'Interesting dream so far, though why does all this look familiar?' I pondered to myself as I tried to figure out why I was feeling a sense of familiarity upon seeing these creatures until a loud hiss next to me broke me out of my thoughts.

HISS~
.
.
.
.
I only looked on In confusion and also annoyance at the interruption as the creature continued hissing at me seeming to try and scare me.

'Well sorry to break It to ya buddy but I don't find your tiny fangs and face all that scary,' I thought to myself slightly amused until we all heard a loud slam startling us and causing us to direct our attention to the source of the sound as a bigger and darker creature started making they're way over to us until they paused and their eyes widened at the sight of us.

"My Queen! They've hatched, they've finally hatched!" She said based on how her voice sounded as she sprinted back out of the room into some other room.

'Interesting sight to see dream, didn't expect to see a creature with the same features as Swiss cheese only taller and darker......though she looked familiar as well, WHY does she look familiar though?' I pondered to myself as I was starting to get annoyed at the 'on the tip of my tongue' feeling.

'Eh It'll come to me sometime, anyways If I'm lucid for this then let's see what I can do,' I think to myself as I try summoning Thor's hammer to lift me only to find that nothing happens.

'Huh, that's, weird, ok well let's try something else,' I think to myself waving off that failed attempt as I tried summoning something simpler to use like a cane only to once again find that nothing happened.

"Cahh-, Aghhh-," I tried to yell out as I got frustrated only to find out that I couldn't even produce words for some reason.

'Are you serious I can't even yell out In frustration properly!? What Is happening!? If I'm lucid I should be able to get what I want right? Unless, this Is a nightmare, but you can't have nightmares when you're lucid right!?' I thought beginning to slightly panic as I tried to calm myself down.

'Ok, OK, calm down, even If It Is a nightmare It's not real, and even If I do die I'll at least be able to wake up,' I told myself as I began to calm back down only to hear more than one voice this time begin to get nearer to us.

"take another lifeless ling"

"No ling blames you for that My Queen, It was out of your control"

"Yes, but It does nothing to take away the lives lost that day does It?" I hear a more motherly voice say In a slightly sadder tone as they suddenly stop just out of view.

"No, I...suppose It doesn't," I hear the familiar voice say as they both seem to stop In place for some reason until one of them speaks up.

"Well, all we can do now Is move on and honor them by raising this new generation of changelings," She said as It finally clicked for me.

'THAT'S what It was, changelings!' I exclaimed In my head as I looked around now recognizing the smaller Oreo versions of changelings.

'Anthropomorphic changelings at that, huh, I guess there could be worse creatures to dream about being like having to walk on all fours,' I thought to myself as I focused my attention back on the now-revealed figures as they watched us from a distance.

'Huh, wonder why the taller one Is the only one to have hair,' I pondered as I looked over her again seeing how her long dark blue hair reached past almost her whole back while her wings and tail? I think was also dark blue and translucent, not to mention the weird thing sticking out of the top of her head that had 4 small balls at the end of It while her horn looked jagged and chipped.

'You know If I didn't know any better I would think this somewhat taller changeling was.....wait what did she call her again?' I asked myself as my mind recalled an important fact that I overlooked.

My Queen

Ah, I see now.
.
.
.
.
'Shit,' I thought to myself as I finally recognized that the taller changeling that was watching over us was indeed Queen Chrysalis, you know that one character that was hellbent on getting what she wanted how she wanted It to the point of trapping an ALICORN away while she brainwashed said ALICORNS husband to marry and give his love to her.

You know THAT Queen Chrysalis who was also beginning to make her way towards me and the other baby changelings around me.

'Ok just keep calm, keep calm, as long as you don't draw attention to yourself she'll ignore you and pay attention to someone else,' I told myself as I did my best to hide away as much as I could In my egg to avoid her.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
'Ok, looks like were go-'

"Oh, this one seems to be hiding from me," I hear her say as I pray that she was talking about a different changeling and not me.

'She's talking about Thorax, she has to be, I mean he was also hiding In his egg If memory serves me correctLYYYYYY-' I thought to myself only to be suddenly lifted Into the air as I'm turned around and brought face to face with Chrysalis herself.

"You look so afraid of me," She said looking and sounding somewhat sad because of that though I paid no attention to It as I was focused on doing my best not to offend her In some way.

'That's cause I am, I don't know what this dream Is capable of making you do to me and I prefer not to find out,' I thought to myself as she looked past and below me causing me to look too as I see the others begin to make their way to her as one of them already near her legs begins to stretch their hands up at her.

All of a sudden that one Is picked up and lifted into the air as a light green glow surrounds them while I'm put back down on the ground causing me to focus my attention back on Chrysalis as she holds the small black and white changeling and begins to rub the frill like appendages on the back of their head.

Only the confusing part Is she never does that signature evil grin that was part of Thorax's back story, instead, she just proceeds to divert her attention to a different changeling doing her best to calm them If necessary or simply pick them up and hold them as she looks at each and everyone she picks up with this loving motherly smile.

'I don't know whether to be grateful or weirded out right now since I didn't expect my dream to show me a nice Chrysalis all of a sudden, not complaining but It's still a bizarre sight to see, though knowing my dreams It could change any minute,' I thought to myself as this continued for a good while even to the point where she picked me up again.

Though this time she seemed to notice that although I wasn't afraid of her I was still somewhat wary causing her to smile at the change.

"Even though you may be afraid of me I assure you I mean no harm little one," She said as she proceeded to hug me tightly for a couple of seconds which for some reason felt really nice until It ended with the other changeling that I forgot was there as she suddenly cleared her throat.

"My Queen, I believe we should let them rest while we figure out where to put them," She said causing Chrysalis to sigh as she put me down.

"Of course, let us go so they may rest for tomorrow," She said before looking back at all of us as she hugged as many of us as she could," I'm so grateful that you all managed to survive my little lings, I promise that for as long as I live I will always love and protect each of you," She said sincerely before letting us go and making her way out with the other changeling.

'Well that was pretty nice,' I thought to myself before I suddenly yawned and began to feel sleepy.

'Well all In all this has been a pretty good dream, too bad I probably won't remember most of this when I wake up,' I thought to myself as I began to lower myself to the ground and began to close my eyes.

'Maybe I should go watch MLP again sometime when I'm In the mood,' I thought to myself as I finally fell asleep.

'Mmgh, I don't want to get uppp, though seeing as I didn't hear my alarm go off I'm either late or maybe I got lucky and woke up before It,' I thought to myself as I tried to decide whether to take the chance to stay asleep or check If I was late.

'Eh might as well get It out of the way,' I thought to myself as I reluctantly opened my eyes but instead of finding my digital clock, I was met with a white surface that had black spots over It.

'What the-,' I looked on In confusion as my mind tried to catch up with what I was seeing until I shot up looking around me as I was met with the familiar sight of the baby changelings and gray stone-like area instead of my one-bedroom apartment.

'Wha-, I-I-I don't understand, why I am still here, I went to sleep, didn't I? So why I am still here?' I asked myself as I grew more and more confused.

'Ok, OK, It's fine, It's probably one of those dreams inside another dream situation, so you know what I'll just hurt myself, that'll get me out,' I concluded to myself as I began to use my tiny arms to lift my head.

'Ok, here, we, GO!' I yelled In my mind as I brought my face to the ground at full speed causing my forehead to suddenly flare up In pain.

'Aghhh! Fuck!' I thought as I grabbed my forehead which was now pulsing with pain as I tried rubbing It away In an attempt to distract myself from the reality of the situation I was slowly coming to terms with.
.
.
.
'I'm not dreaming at all am I?' I asked no one In particular as I looked around actually taking In everything for the first time.

'No,' I thought to myself, 'This Is real now.'
