Queen Of Wrath

“This fight had lasted way longer than I wanted this to go!” Alucita’s eyes leaked with magic.

The last changeling blasted out of existence, only one remained. She stomped forward towards the last changeling. He stepped backward one step for everyone she took to get closer. She started to quicken her pace. The changeling started to quicken his pace to keep his distance.

He tripped falling on his under shell. He attempted to get back up and continue this game of cat and mouse, No use she was standing right above his face. He closed his eyes to accept his fate. Alucita stared at the changeling, something was off about him. Her eyes lessened their intensity. She stared at him as if she was imagining His head was going to explode.

He slowly opened his eyes one after the other. A gigantic chill went through his spine; the first emotion he has ever felt in his short time of living was pure, unrefined fear. Why did she not kill him? His mind raced with thoughts. Staring into her eyes, there was no longer any magic leaking from them. Only her purplish irises, she gently placed a hoof on his forehead. There was no horn; He must have been incapable of magic, and completely at her mercy.

“AHAHAHAHAHAH! This is too rich, A defect!? She removed her hoof from his forehead to wipe a tear from her eye.  “Listen, I’m surprised you even made it this far without being eliminated, so I will give you a gift…after I kill you.”

The changeling gulped, she pressed her hoofed down smashing into only the smoke. Everything around Alucita started to ripple, the sky, at least the general direction of upward started to shatter as if it was glass. In a matter of seconds reality started to take its form again. Cave walls took form, Bodies took form.

“Good now, young one.” Chrysalis chimed in.

Alucita was lying on the ground she looked up with blurry vision, Thousands of eyes stared directly at her. She stood, the eyes that were watching her, they no longer were gray they changed to a purple matching that of hers.

Alucita looked around, “What is it?” Chrysalis said.

“Defect step out here…NOW!” She raised her voice for emphasis.

A low buzzing sound came from the back of the hoard, a sound of hooves clopping down on rock echoed. A hornless changeling now stood ahead of the crowd. Alucita stared at the defect; she stared at his purple eyes. An unsettling fear jumped around his body as if it was alive.

Her horn was engulfed in magic; she leaned forward touching her jagged horn on his hornless forehead. His eyes shined brightly as he was lifted slightly off the ground; the magic entered through his body. What seemed like a few minutes passed the changeling fell to the ground with a loud thud.

“Oomph!” The changeling’s eyes grew big and he gripped his throat.

“Yes, I gave you the ability to speak outside the hive mind, you should be grateful!” Alucita said staring and admiring her magic work.

“Chshank youz prink-” He grabbed his throat once again; whatever was coming out of his mouth was certainly not clear.

“I guess I should make you the first to get a proper name also” Alucita thought for a minute “Ah ha! Gillsy is your new name!”

She was either just making a fool of him for enjoyment or she honestly made up the name all by herself.

“Alucita, we must prepare.” Chrysalis said walking towards the way they came in.

“All of you should think of names for better communication reasons.” Alucita trotted next to her mother out the exit.

The room was filled with sounds of clicking and hissing, the language of the changelings. Gillsy walked back into the giant swarm.

“How was it brother?” a changeling hissed.

“Acknooying.” Gillsy said, or tried to.

“You must work on it doesn’t sound nearly close to the princesses or the queen’s” the changeling put a hoof over Gillsy’s back and pointed to the direction the royalty left through.

“Khas youz Gotchen a gname kyet?”  Gillsy asked the changeling.

“I have not been given one yet.” The changeling replied.

Gillsy rubbed his hoof on his chin; an idea sprang to his head “Nhow abought Doktus?”

“Doctus you say brother? It has a nice ring to it, I like it!” Doctus put his hoof back around Gillsy. “Doctus and Gillsy, The two best love hunters to have ever to lived, they will write stories of these two legends.” Doctus trailed off.

Alucita and the Queen returned and landed at the mouth of the room.

Alucita dropped a piece of paper on the ground “Gather around my minions.”

Every single changeling in the room now formed a huge circle around the royalty. “This won’t do very good if we want them to see.” Chrysalis’s horn illuminated its poisonous green glow, she blasted the piece of paper, and an enlarged version of the map now reflected itself above the heads of the changelings.

The map was of the great Equestrian City, Canterlot, “and tonight is the night of the royal ball known as ‘The Gala’ you all will have to kidnap a certain pony there.”

All the changelings looked in confusion how could all of them be able to sneak in at once?

“I know what you all are thinking, literally, my mother’s scouts managed to capture a few ponies that had invitations.”

Alucita glanced over to her right; changeling guards brought in five ponies each one looking more tired than the other.

“You will take a role as each of these ponies to capture your target, we cannot afford any mess ups, and one word that the changelings are back could easily ruin our plans for later.

“Since this is a small mission I will assign five of you.” Alucita said looking around She laughed “First one is Gillsy”

Gillsy sighed walking next to the princess, he whispered into her ear “Second one to go up is Doc... Doctus?”

Doctus flew over next to Gillsy.
