Prophecy of Fire

Chrysalis's plan

Previous Chapter

   Chrysalis paced through the throne room. Something had to be done about these... Alicorns! They could destroy the kingdom she had worked so hard to capture.

   Maybe she could use one. The dark one. Her spies reported her running from the scene of the fire. She was alone... No pony was around. The perfect time for abduction.

Chrysalis stopped pacing. "Guards!" She said. "Search all of the Everfree! If you find a dark alicorn, brine her here." The guards nodded and galloped away.

   Dusk looked about herself, wondering which way she came. She flew above the trees in hopes to get her bearings.

Something was on top of her, pinning her down. She struggled but the hooves only pushed harder into her back. She looked back at the pony. She gasped and resisted the urge to scream at the sight of the changeling.The changeling hissed, then raised his head. It let out a horrible screech.

   Many more changelings flew into the little clearing. The first changeling flew off her. Dusk had been captured.

   Twilight cantered up beside Comet.

"Did your hear that?" She asked.

Comet nodded. "Yeah. No pony could have made such a noise.

   They looked at each other. They were thinking the same thing; Changelings.

   Chrysalis woke to the sound of the guards. Eagerly, she rushed out of the room.

A dark blue alicorn was standing in the throne room, her wings bound to her sides.

The alicorn was younger than Chrysalis expected, but she glared up at her with anger and defiance, but also fear. Chrysalis knew this pony would come in handy.

   "I am Queen Chrysalis." She hissed. She was met by the continuous glare. "I would  like to know your name."

   "Dusk." The alicorn said.

   Celestia returned from the forest after looking for Dusk.

"Do you think I scared her?" Comet asked. "Fire has always made her nervous."

Celestia nodded. "I search all of the forest. At least, where anypony would dare to go."

Nopony needed to say it. They were all thinking it. Dusk was captured by changelings.

   "Why would I help you?" Dusk stared defiantly at Chrysalis, the fear was gone... Almost.

  "If you don't, I will slay the remainder of your family. And leave you alive, alone."

   "We need to get her back." Comet said.

   "Chrysalis will surely try to recruit her."

"What do I get out of it?"

"You shall be taught magic until you cast spells in your sleep."

"No. This is wrong. Twilight would say not to."

Chrysalis's horn sparked into a furious free glow. "You'll change your mind soon enough."

   Celetia flew to Canterlot with Comet and Twilight.

It wasn't that simple. Comet went ahead and snuck through the sewage. She was to find a way to the castle then return for the other two. Naturally, this didn't happen.

   Seeing a small hole above, Comet peeked over. She saw Dusk, led by some changelings. Comet leapt from her hiding place and charged the changelings, unfurling her flaming wings. Dusk saw Comet, and her horn glowed, a soft blue.

   Dusk yelled and she collapsed to the ground. Her horns magic glow slowly turned black, and it enveloped her body.

Comet plowed through the changelings and stood over Dusk. The dark glow faded, and Dusk got to her feet. She glared at Comet, and her horn glowed again. But instead of the soft blue, it was black. Comet took a step back. There was a bang, and Comet flew back, hitting a statue of Chrysalis. Comet stood, dazed.

   "Dusk. It's me," Comet said angrily. Dusk spread her wings and lowered her head, then charged.
