Ponyville: Seven.

Crystal Empire: Four.

Canterlot: Two.

Thirteen loyal, and herself, against all of Equestria, and her own traitorous brood.

Chrysalis can work with that.

Spike now harnesses the bloodstone scepter making him the ruler of all dragon kind. Of course he hands it off as part of an important lesson on friendship, right? Naw. He immediately goes mad with power.

Chrysalis is back! Only this time, she's finally decided to try out the peaceful way to get what she wants. Though she still holds ire toward the student and friend of Twilight Sparkle, the Changeling Queen has to find the strength within herself to do what must be done for her subjects.

Silver Skies is the lucky diplomat that gets sent to speak with Queen Chrysalis. The day these two ponies meet, each masters of their masks, will be the day things change for the land of Equestria. Exactly how those changes affect the land, remains to be seen.

I started this little tale some time ago. It got set aside while I got absorbed into writing another story, but with the leak of the season 6 finale... oh, I just had to get working on this one again! So much creative urge just compelled me to write more! I hope you all enjoy.

A mother will do a lot for her child, even give them up if it meant them having a safer life growing up, despite the obvious pain that comes for the parent.

That pain is something Queen Chrysalis has gone through for eighteen years, but now the time is upon them, and she wants her daughter back. Even if that means invading Canterlot during a royal wedding.

The second changeling attack failed miserably. It seemed like Chrysalis had lost everything. Her Hive, her children, her throne, her glorious plans, her hostages: all gone. Running away from Starlight Glimmer's offer of friendship, Chrysalis contemplates her next move: going to Equestria in disguise ... again.

But something lingers in Chrysalis's mind, a thought from a long time ago.

Can the Princess of Friendship and her student help the former Changeling Queen after all?
