Queen Chrysalis's Judgement · 8:26pm May 10th, 2015
I've already been reading two stories on the matter of Chrysalis being judged for her crimes. Most of them were legalities and stuff and to be frank... I have no idea how the law would treat Chrysalis in all the different personalities that she has according to fanon. How would it treat a good Chrysalis? An evil one? How about if they were starving? If insanity was driving them to a frenzy towards Canterlot? In any case I'm not an expert on the law so I can't really say...
Despite all that I would like to explore a possible "Divine Judgement" of Chrysalis. Here's the idea... Queens and Kings are chosen/deemed worthy, and bloodline only ensures you'll be the first to try out to fill that role. The crown is actually used by 3 ancient changeling rulers's spirits that judge one's ability to rule and grant the wearer abilities or queenhood status and magic. Each spirit would represent the mind, the heart/body, and the soul. Call it whatever you like. I got inspired by the comic of Alux and the Lost Legion where a King of the East had made a crown that poisoned and maddened those that didn't know its secret and weren't of the bloodline. In cases that there wouldn't be a Queen/King there would be a council of 12 families/houses that would rule together the Kingdom.
In any case said rulers would have the ability to take back this status from the Queen should they deem so. Because however they wouldn't want to waste Queen/King material. So to help said candidate understand his/her mistakes they would punish them in the form of "emotional feedback". They would bring upon the punished the pain caused in the souls, hearts, and minds of those they hurt in an attempt to restore the empathetic nature of the changelings that they lost. It would be an intense and painful experience but otherwise fair I believe. At least that's what I want to achieve... Of course the punished would still have to make any legal reparations but other than that he/she'd be pre-occupied with recollecting the scattered pieces of his/her soul.
What do you guys think? Ever thought about divine punishment for someone like Chrysalis? What would it be like? Is my idea any good?
