FOR ALL INTENSIVE PURPOSES, 1416 IS NOT GAY AND THINGS HAPPENED PRIOR TO THIS







I felt my body changing, tears virtually evaporating as my skin grew hot.

"You are nothing!" Chrysalis hissed. 

I closed my eyes, drawing all the energy left behind from the blast into my horn. 

"How did you think you could defeat me?" The Queen laughed. 

"I didn't think we could." I growled. 

Chrysalis frowned. "Really?"

My eyes snapped open, and I could see the shimmering light reflecting off my muzzle as I glared up at her. Flames erupted along my wings, spreading to at least triple my height, fanning out on either side. My mane and tail lit with the blaze as well, billowing like a curtain.

I shot up from the ground, hooking Chrysalis with a hoof and soaring up. I stilled to a hover, staring her dead in the eyes. 

"I knew we could."

I began slowly flapping my wings, starting to roll in a small loop. Chrysalis struggled to free herself, only searing her shell on the flame. The speed increased as the loop tightened, until I was barely moving from a single spot. 

"Nopony will miss you." I hissed, and threw her down.

The momentum launched her down, punching through a few clouds. Her wings strained to open, to slow her fall. I was too high up, she would recover before hitting the ground.

With a snarl, I darted through the tunnels she had made, catching up in mere heartbeats. I matched her speed, pressing my hooves down on her neck, and sped up again. The air bent around me, the suction behind me bordering unsafe.

I flapped harder, faster, feeling Chrysalis's heartbeat through my hooves. And then, just as fast, I pulled up. The air tunnel broke, and the compressed force wheeled me away.

The resounding thud told me the Changeling Queen was not as lucky. 

I rose up, level with the Changeling army. 

"Just go home."
