Know your Mare

The Devil...

Know your--

Shhh!

It'll hear us...

Oh right...

...Maybe if we're quiet it'll just leave...

...I don't think it's moving...

It's probably plotting our downfall...

That sick beast...

...why doesn't it just finish us...?

That would be too easy for it...

...It wants us to plead and sweat over it...

It's so twisted and heartless...

Has it no mercy?

No...

...that thing's mercy dried up years ago...

...Just look at it...

...scheming...

...It knows we're watching it...

It's just toying with us...

Like this is some game to it...

...And it's winning...

What're we--

Shut up...!

...I think it moved...

Sweet Luna no...

...I'm scared little buddy...

Me too cap'n...

Hold me...

As the two voices echoed with a pitiful whimper, Queen Chrysalis emerged into the lone spotlight with nothing but moot care in her face. For a moment she looked down at the object laying limp in the light before her, a dull doll with coal eyes and a raggedy gray body. With a shimmer of her horn, she lifted the doll up to eye level.

By the makers...!

She's challenging it!

Queeny, don't be a hero!

"...You two are perhaps the most idiotic beings I have ever met," she tossed the doll aside back into the shadowy abyss.

...She's slain the monster...

Smartypants the Tormentor is no more!

Praise the Changeling Queen!

Praise the Changeling Queen!

"Your words are more harmful than hate itself to me... I loath you both."

She loves us too!

This is the best day ever!

Of all time!
