Pyrrhic

Queen Chrysalis to Princes Mi Amore Cadenza and Shining Armor:

I may have lost, but at least I have never murdered anypony. Enjoy Tartarus, Mr. and Mrs. Bastard.

The few changelings that were left in good enough condition to move were feasting on the last of Chrysalis's energy and flesh. From above, her disembodied soul watched on somberly. Around her, the souls of her dead children similarly arose. For the first time in their individual existences, or Chrysalis's hundreds of years of memory, they were finally free of the perpetual aches of chronic malnutrition and ever present hunger.

Even if she wasn't bound for paradise, though she hoped she was, Chrysalis knew in her heart that this purgatory was better than anything she had when she was alive. She was free.
