The jungle was no place a changeling, let alone a queen. Chrysalis was desperate though. Two months pasted since Starlight Glimmer came and turned her whole kingdom against her. Chrysalis was weak low on food, and since this was a wide not many ponies were found, and she can't risk going into pony civilization. All hope was lost for her, weak, hungry, and with a mind set on revenge, Chrysalis collapse on the ground helpless that was until that was until a rustle of leaves was heard behind her. Chrysalis knew this was either a animal or hopefully a pony, either way chrysalis ducked behind a bush, she was in no conditioned to stand up for herself, but she still watched. What came into the clearing Chrysalis was not expecting. it was a orange-yellow pegasus with a black and grey mane. Chrysalis was grateful and saw her opportunity. She still knew magic and used that to transform into the only pony this mare cared about . Before she stepped out Chrysalis looked at herself she was not happy with the pony she became. Chrysalis now had a cyan coat two pegasi wings, violate eyes, and a rainbow mane. Yes, Chrysalis became the element of loyalty, Rainbow Dash, one of the ponies who has ruined her plans and life, but Chrysalis was desperate and stepped into the clearing.
"Who goes there", The mare shouted as Chrysalis stepped into the clearing, "Oh its just you Rainbow Dash, what are you doing here."
"Oh hey.... you", Chrysalis was hesitant with her answer not knowing anything about the pony she then came up with an excuse on why she's here, "I'm camping with my friends and got lost what are doing here."
"Oh you know treasure hunting fighting badies, the usual Tuesday morning, you know how it is." The mare the gave chrysalis a slight punch with her hoof. It was with that touch Chrysalis was able to soak up enough love to survive.
"Well that's great i best be on my way again it was great seeing you." Chrysalis fled faster than a bullet leaving the mare in confusion who just shook it off and left. Meanwhile Chrysalis went back to her sanctuary, and slept know that she'll be stronger the next day.
The next day Chrysalis woke up to a sight which brought a sinister smile to her mouth. Laying by her were a dozen changeling eggs.
"Well, well, wellI guess there is such a thing as hope after all."
Months have passed and Chrysalis has grown stronger. She now has a stronger army and a greater kingdom. These changelings obeyed every command their queen gave them and Chrysalis made sure of that. When the changelings were born Chrysalis brought them to a room in the hive where she performed great deals of dark magic. She would first cast a spell that forced her changelings to obey her every word, (thanks a lot Starlight Glimmer). Then she performed a dead so sinister so dark, a spell no one dares to try. And yet, she knew this spell all to well. She ripped out their hearts and made them nothing more than an empty vessel. She did not want this cruelty to be brought upon any creature, but chrysalis did not want to lose again, so desperate times call for desperate measures.
One day while Chrysalis was sitting on her thrown plotting her next move she grew curious on her changelings and their progress and called for her commander.
"Arachne come her this instant!"
"What is it my queen." The female changeling known as Arachne said.
"Please inform me on the progress of my changelings skills commander."
"The newborns are now able to shift into a creature ten times their height and weight, and the older one know every attack pattern you informed us about my queen."
"Good. Now go leave me alone." Arachne bowed and left Chrysalis to be. She had her head down as if she was deep in thought or greiving. Then a sly smile appeared and a low, evil chuckle was formed.
"Oh soon princesses, very soon I will be back and no one will stop me. I Chrysalis will finally rule and get the happily ever after I deserve, and I will seek my revenge and all who wronged me in the past, present and future. It is now time for you to be the bug that needs to be squashed." Chrysalis said while giving a loud violent evil laugh for the whole hive. She stood up and walked down the corridors to appear by the changeling sleeping chambers.
"Sleep well my children, tomorrow you will be students, next week you will be soilders marching into battle." Chrysalis said before entering a room no one but her may enter. In the room laid a small table, some viles of potions and books. On the center of the table laid a single book, Chrysalis walked over to the table and opened the book.
"Oh it has been a while since I read this." Chrysalis sighed, "Hover if I want to prefect my magic I must. Desperate times call for desperate measures." Chrysalis sat a the table and read, practice and scheme, equestria's downfall would come.

"Papers get your paper." A mare called, equestria doesn't take care of this route often, but when it was important news they sent someone to journey into the freezing frozen north. Oh no not the crystal empire oh no some where far way just north of Luna Bay a village stood which took several months to get the paper. The ponies there all wore warm clothes and struggled to survive but they thrived.
A pony walked up to the mail mare. She couldn't be seen through all the snow but she still gave the mare bits and that's all she cared about. The mare took the paper and went back to the village and read the paper when she read the front cover a big, bright smile appeared on her face.
"Well I'll be I've finally found you." The mare gave a happy laughed with tears of joy springing up, "It is time."
