Twilight Sparkle always enjoyed those quiet days in Ponyville when those 'crazy ponies' weren't always driving her crazy every single day. Unfortunately for Twilight, this day isn't going to be one of those days!

When a royal servant from Canterlot and a knightly pony prince all happen to come to Ponyville, everything is not exactly all fun and games. Twilight Sparkle and her friends must not only deal with these newcomers, but also the trouble that seems to be following them as well.

Can Twilight help keep the peace in Ponyville? Or will disaster strike at Ponyville and spread to Canterlot itself?

The story of Chrysalis, starting with her upbringing by the land's rulers and onwards. Her fall, her attack, and perhaps a few stories unknown to most.

Queen Chrysalis has only one grub that has survived into fillyhood; her daughter, the physically lame and mentally impaired Crown Princess Pupa. Chrysalis has never been what many would call the 'maternal type', even towards Pupa, whose adoration of her mother has no bounds. Preferring to swamp herself in the dire affairs of state, Chrysalis lets her crippled daughter be raised by her affectionate nanny.

But one day, as the Changeling Kingdom's problems reach boiling point, the Queen's already short temper erupts and she must deal with the heartbreaking consequences...
