"Are you alone?"
"I told you yes."
"I need to make sure lest you have some plan waiting in store."
"I have no plan Chrysalis. The only plan I have is to get you to answer my question."
Chrysalis let out a cough. "And what if I don't? Are you going to call upon your prissy little Prince Shining to come and rescue you?" she sung.
Cadance stood silent.
"But then you might just use your sappy love for your husband to blow me and my hive to pieces, won't you Cadance?"
Chrysalis was trying the crystal princess's patience but Cadance stood firm. Later breaking the quietness between them. "No. I'll just walk away and leave. Accepting that fact."
Her opponent took some time to respond.
"Aren't you the honest one."
"Not completely. If I was trulyhonest, I wouldn't be here after telling my husband I was speaking to Twilight overnight for diplomatic relations. But even unto enemies, do I stay true to my word and right now, you are one of them."
Chrysalis merely looked at her and closed her eyes. Coughing a little before letting out a sigh.
"Leave."
"No."
"I said to leave!"
"No."
"Your determined to die aren't you?"
Cadance looked at her with determination. "If you wanted to, go ahead and attack. You said it yourself. My power will not work here and I was a fool to come alone. Luck is on your side. Go on, use your magic and zap me away. Steal my identity and get to work. The bitterness in your tone surely shows our hatred of me."
Chrysalis remained silent. She gritted her teeth and her wings, as crinkled and ragged as they were, let out a small buzz of deep agitation. She was too weak to attack and it seemed as though Cadance knew that well. She merely kept quiet about it. Chrysalis wanted to snap the little alicorn's neck. Show her what true love was in her misery. Banish her to the crystal caves again and steal all she had.
Chrysalis got up on her throne with shaky legs and ripe eyes that was bloodshot and sleep deprived. She could hardly move as extreme fatigue over came her. Her crooked and jagged horn glowed little with her green magic and she aimed towards the princess.
She'll show her the might of the hive queen. She'll show her what it's like to lose everything and everyone. If she couldn't kill her, she'll make her into the most hideous creature the world had ever seen. She'll make her pink and beautiful fur and feathers as black as hers. She'll be a wretched abomination that none would be able to lay eyes upon lest they choke on themselves.
Cadance was scared yes, but she'll stand her ground. She'll play her chances and roll the die.
Cadance closed her eyes as Chrysalis was poised to attack but when Cadance felt that nothing had happened yet, she opened one of her eyes and saw an unbelievable sight.
Chrysalis...was crying.
