"It was a dark and story night..."
Snew P. was currently working on his story. It had a plot, a main character, and best of all, he was the one making it. He didn't get a chance, however, to continue as his house shook violently causing him to fall off. Snew dusted himself off from the fall and decided to check if something had crashed into his house or if wood really could come to life and was trying to show dominance. he came around the house and found something completely unexpected: A baby Changeling unconscious with his head stuck through the side of Snew P.'s doghouse. Snew poked the little creature trying to get some sort of reaction.
The Changeling began to stir, disturbed from the consistent poking in his side. He realized his situation, which was somewhat embarrassing and set to work trying to remove his head from the wall.
Well he's trying to get out at least. That means he's not dead. Snew thought to himself. It was only then that realized something strange about the Changeling. This Changelings chitin was yellow. When he finally got his head free the Changeling turned around to look at Snew P.. The two only looked at each other for a few seconds before the smaller changeling spoke. When he opened his mouth, however, no words came out. Snew suddenly noticed something very strange, a talk bubble above this new Changelings head.
"l l l l l l l l l l"
One hour of decoding later
"I'm Wood Stalk. How are you?"
Snew P. used his hole filled hooves to indicating he was doing fine.
"Well that's nice to hear."
The two Changelings "talked" for a awhile learning new things about each other. Snew P. learned that Wood Stalk had been searching for his own burrow and had recently found it before spiraling into Snew P.'s house. Snew also learned that, for whatever reason, Would Stalk could not fly right. Instead, said Changeling would fly upside down.
This was looking to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Two Changelings, one being obviously short and yellow the other being less obviously mute, were waiting for their queen along with several hundred other Changeling. Queen Chrysalis was due to make an announcement today and everychangeling was eagerly awaiting her. Snew P. and his new friend from about three days ago were passing the time bumping other Changelings and then blaming it on others. Soon the sound of heavy hoof steps sounded and their attention along with their fellow Changelings was drawn to the throne. Queen chrysalis walked up in a procession to the throne and sat down. She was smiling with a grin that could kill a pony.
Wood Stalk snickered and said, "If looks could kill huh?" Both he and Snew tried to hold in their laughs. Suddenly the Queen spoke.
"My slav...subjects! Now is the time for us to triumph!" She held her right hoof above her head, "I have had my agents sneak into Canterlot and have brainwashed my soon-to-be bride, Shining Armor!" Chrysalis stood at her full height, "Tomorrow, during the wedding, you shall charge the castle and...what are you two doing?!" Chrysalis averted her attention to two Changelings in the back of the crowd having a competition at who could fit more rocks in their mouth.
Thirty-two!? How is that even possib... Snew P.'s thought was interrupted as the Queen of the Changelings now stood right in front of him and his companion.
"She? Ah Thold Foo Ah fould fput four throcks in fie fmouth." Wood Stalk before getting a sharp poke in the ribs. The yellow Changeling turned his head in the direction Snew P. was indicating and spit out the rocks currently in his mouth.
Chrysalis' face was riddled with anger and she bellowed, "What is the meaning of this?! Why are you disrupting my announcement drones?!"
Wood Stalk decided to answer the question, "l ll l lll ll."
They can't understand you idiot! Snew P. smacked his face audibly and shook his head. Luckily a nearby Changeling who knew of the two mischief makers scooted towards the Queen and whispered something to her. Chrysalis could barely be heard mumbling a few things.
"A mute Changeling...?...a Changeling that doesn't speak Equestrian or our native language...?" She turned her head towards the two afore mentioned Changelings and smiled, "This is preposterous!" She laughed, "Very well. Tommorow, you two shall lead the charge into Canterlot! Let's see if you can find your voices in the scuffle! HAHAHA!"
Other Changelings joined in the laughter while Snew P. and Would Stalk both tried to process what just happened.
"Well we're officially b#@$%! up!"
Snew P. wacked Wood Stalk in the head for his filthy language. Both he and his yellow friend were walking toward the armory as the speech had ended a while back.
"Ow. Okay, sorry. I just...Ugh! What are we gonna do?"
To this Snew P. had no answer. The two Changelings walked in silence into a part of the castle they had hoped to never enter. Going through a set of double doors they entered the armory. Inside was a Changeling with a scar over his left eye, working on a sword on an anvil. The only light in the room came from the fireplace creating an eerie feeling. He turned his head and acknowledged the presence and existence of the Changelings who had entered the room. he finished his sword with another few pounds with a hammer. After setting the sword into a bucket of water he hung it on a rack and looked directly at Snew P. and Wood Stalk. His mouth formed a sinister grin.
