Nice progression here. Nice story.

So rarely do I get to a story before it becomes popular, I find myself with all the luck today!

Good story! Chrysalis just surrendering like this is great simply for the tension she adds just by being herself. I was taken aback slightly when this suddenly turned anthro. Perhaps it was mentioned and I simply overlooked it. I also think that the prologue should have been first person Celestia, but that’s me.
I do like how many of Chrysalis’ thoughts are from a military perspective. I can’t wait for her to meet Twilight, that should be fun!

sorry it was anthro from the start. I maybe I wasn't clear in the depictions.
