Canterlot was not the first place Chrysalis attacked, before she moved to Equestria, she picked up a certain creature, a Dragon. His name is Shade, and he suddenly wakes up as a Changeling with only the smallest hints of his past life remaining.
Now thrust into an Invasion, he disregards the orders of his new Queen to save a single filly who he vows to protect. After being launched from the city, Shade must find a way to bring her back, but just how far is he willing to go?
