//------------------------------// // (Required) Prolog: In the forest. // Story: The Other Chrysalis // by ChangelingProductions //------------------------------// Chrysalis never felt so ashamed. Her plan to defeat those goodie to-shoe ponies failed yet again. She walked through the Everfree with a face filled with disgust. If she was still queen, this would have been so much easier, but no. That stupid traitor turned everyone against her, and now she was alone. If only Twilight had never gotten in her way the first time... She was going towards the cave where she had been hiding for the past few months when she began to think about Twilight and her friends. If she hadn't underestimated her when they first meat, Chrysalis would never have been having this problem. She was so angry that her head thumped with blood, and no amount of magical spells would fix that. "Stupid love filled ponies!" She yelled to the heavens. "One day, I'll get you! I'll get you allll-AAHH!" Chrysalis tripped and fell into an old dried up lake path. There where bones of different fishes that used to live there before it dried and they where stranded. As she got back up to her hooves, she looked down the creek and noticed something shining in the dirt. She would have left it if she didn't feel such a magical presence emanating from it. She started walking towards the shiny dirt. The closer she got, the more she was forced to think about everything she hated; Twilight beating her, Thorax taking over, her own element bearer clones betraying her, and more. She never felt anger like this, and it made her want revenge even more. When she finally got to what was glowing so bright, she saw it was just a broken piece of reflective glass. She sighed in disappointment. This was humiliating. She was so desperate for something magical to be there, that she started playing tricks on her mind. There probably wasn't even any magic on this old thing. She lifted the shard of glass with her horn's magic and stared at her reflection. She looked tired. Her eyes had bags and her face and hair were dirty with the dirt she tried to sleep on. She let out a loud yell. "Twilight!!! If only I could beat Twilight. it's you're fault I lost everything! It's you're fault I sleep on the dirt, and it is your fault I can no longer look at the color purple without thinking of pain! I hate you!' Tears rolled down her cheeks. "I wish I could finally kill you..." She was going into a full blown sob. She dropped the glass and ran off, tears staining its surface. She didn't notice it beginning to glow a bright red as she ran. Chrysi never felt so ashamed. Today more then any other day was one of the worst she had lived in a long time. It had been three weeks since Nightmaremoon sent her to Filly-Villa, a town full of ponies that allowed monsters and no-ponies to live. She had meat her new friends, Discord the bearer of Fun, Flim bearer of Truth, Sombra bearer of Forgiveness, Cloudy Mist the Shadow bolt and bearer of Trust, and Tempest bearer of Hospitality . Chrysi her self was the bearer of Power, but always felt like the least powerful one in the group. She wore a green coat, a purple shirt, and a green checkered skirt. Around her neck was a black fluffed handkerchief she cherished close to he heart, and behind that was an old locket she was gifted for her first birthday. Today she thought she might try talking about her problems to her friends, but all they did was unintentionally make it worse. Cloudy just ignored her to practice her flying moves, Sombra was so self-doubtful about his power it just made her more upset, and it got worse from there. When she got back to the library, Discord had accidentally burnt it down pouring a glass of water. Luckily her fully grown assistant Ember was able to put out the flames. Chrysi was in the Enclosedforest now taking a nice walk to cool her mind. As she walked down her path, her thoughts of everything that happened up to this point. Her earliest memorise was being blind and scared. She hadn't known where or what she was for so long. Then one day, Princess Nightmaremoon found her abandoned in an old creek that was slowly drying up. Nightmaremoon helped her by giving her thing's she would never have thought possible. First, she was gifted with red glasses so she could see, then she was given the gift of being Nightmaremoon's personal student, and finally she was allowed to be an Equestrian citizen. The only reason she was even in this town was to learn about friendship, even though she already had friends back in the Moon Kingdom. As she walked, more sad memories began to form in her head. She remembered the time she overheard Nightmaremoon talking about how she was the last living changeling, of how often she used to be bullied for being a blind or not a pony, and more. She would have kept thinking, but then she noticed something glowing in the distance. She walked towards it, carefully, and discovered what it was. There, in an old dried up lake was a fractured piece of mirror. "What's this?" She said to her self to break the tension the glowing piece of glass created. She lifted it up with her magic, and it made her even more saddened. She began to cry all over the glass without a thought and whispered to her self-something she imminently regretted. "I wish I was somewhere else where no one could find me..." As soon as the words left her mouth, she broke down into tears. Just hearing herself say that made her sick. She dropped the glass and ran home to go to bed. Discord should have finished rebuilding by now. As she left, she never noticed the glass beginning to glow a dark shade of blue.
