There was a faint grumble about the distinct lack of marshmallows in modern cereal compared to how it had been twenty years ago, before a pop and a splash filled the bowl with milk. A faint tinkling and a large urn was opened and a dollop of pink goo was splattered atop of the cereal before it was stirred into the mix. Love honey was primarily a changeling thing, a condensed form of the collected love that changelings needed to survive. A changeling could survive for a long time without it, feeding on solid food, but they would eventually grow sicker and die. It was one reason she would never forgive Celestia, despite the needs of her race. The changeling queen was half way through the bowl when the door to the kitchen burst open and a trio of changelings stood on the other side armed for battle. Well the female in the front was. She wore armor and held a collection of daggers in her magic. One of the males behind her held a frying pan, and the other had donned boxing gloves for some reason. Chrysalis simply looked over at them and ate another spoon full of the cereal. Saturnia cursed her daggers lowering. “Mother... what are you doing here!?” “Eating breakfast.” Chrysalis shrugged. “Are those my oat crunchies!?” Saturnia scolded. “Oh relax you can get another box.” She glanced at the two males noting that at least Thorax had lowered the frying pan, Bees still seemed ready to go with how he was throwing jabs into the air. One of the wild swings hit Thorax who replied by decking Bees with the frying pan. Saturnia grumbled and strode over to the table slamming the door in the males faces. “Seriously mother why are you here?” “Vacation.” “In Ponyville? Are you nuts?” “I've been called worse.” “Mother.... you started a nation wide changeling hunt, this is an absolute disaster. And now you're just sitting here eating my cereal.” Saturnia stabbed her daggers into the table with a growl before sitting down.”How are you so calm?” “Because this is the plan. Sure it will suck for a little while. Thanks to Celestia, Canterlot was untouchable to us. Now with Luna and Cadence around we have a chance. Any pro-changeling laws we might have tried to work out would have been stopped by sun butt and the one who suggested them scrutinized heavily. Now we have changelings in places they could pass things to Luna or Cadence. And it won't take much to simply spin the invasion as little more than a rowdy protest, something that was not illegal. No one was hurt and it did less property damage than the last hoof ball riot. As for my beheading Celestia, that's an old feud that falls under a number of unused dueling codes in pony law. The only crime's that could be levied against us could easily be thrown out by a decent lawyer, and we have the best of them.” “How did you even get the council to agree with this?” “Pretty easily, I told them to do it, or else. Perks of being a races god. I let them run the day to day, but the long term planning is my thing.”Chrysalis smirked. “So how have you been since I last saw you, we didn't get to talk much except for through the mirror and that's all business. Manage to get into that Moon Dog's pants yet? I'm expecting grand-lings at any time now. Not sure if I want them to call me nana or me-maw though. I will say however he does not do well with chocolate.” Saturnia groaned. “Why are you here mother?” “What I can't come and see my daughter?” Saturnia stared at her mother who was noisily slurping up the last of the milk in the bowl. “By the stars you're planing to stay here for your vacation aren't you...?” Saturnia grumbled slapping her head to the top of the table. She needed to hide all her snacks in new locations, she was certain her mother had already scouted most of the hidden panels in the kitchen. “That's not an answer.... honey....” “Mother on top of blocking the mail and gathering intel for you do you know what this year has been like here?” “Vaguely,” Chrysalis shrugged. “Mother this year alone I have been attacked by a chaos god, suffered some sort of weird plague of cutie marks. Pinkie Pie. Had a superhero, of all things run about town. Delt with an angsty Rainbow Dash and mopey element bearers. Had a rush of feather flu hit the hive during a water delivery to Cloudsdale. Pinkie Pie. Had Princess Luna herself come to town more often than she is in Canterlot. Had some stupid charlatans who tried to out business the Apples sucker Thorax and Bees out of a few hundred bits each. Had the date of the century turn the town into a battle ground against the Princesses The dragon attack. We have had 56 Tuesdays. The CMC. I had to fight against two other suitors and still failed at catching Rahs. We had PETA foal napping citizens, one of them even captured Kevin and we had to rescue him. Pinkie Pie. There was ridiculously over powered sister hooves social starring the Princesses, AGAIN. A minotaur assertiveness trainer who Bees took after and started rhyming for a month. Pinkie Pie. You have the whole country hunting changelings. And, AND, you ate the last of my oat crunchies! “ Saturnia ranted. “How do you think I've been!?” “So pretty good then?” Chrysalis offered as Saturnia screamed and smacked her head on the table. “Calm down honey. It's not that bad, if the plan works out properly we won't even need to hide any more, it's just gonna be rough for a bit. Even if it does go south, you'll outlive any one who was going to cause an issue with it save Celestia. And she's mostly my problem.” “Except you have probably made Cadence hate us.” “Most likely just me. But she'll get over that. I did meet her husband though, nice guy a little dull.... I wonder if that's why she chose vanilla for the cake flavor to represent him. Clever girl.” Chrysalis chuckled. “ I'll go have a word with her again once everything's cooled down.” “So you never asked her then?” Saturnia sighed. “I'm afraid there wasn't time, and I couldn't risk Celestia finding out that we survived.” Chrysalis sighed. “ And I never could manage to meet up with her away from the hag. With luck we can meet with her again without any issue to talk.” “It's been forty years mother.” “Which is barely any time at all for a god or a child of a god.” Chrysalis shrugged. “ You never really wanted to meet her before.” “Now I do.” Saturnia sighed pulling off her armored helmet. “ Oh did your new found interest in boys trigger this?” Chrysalis grinned, this was an old discussion with her daughter. Saturnia tossed her head, long strands of naturally pink hair falling down over the sides of her head on either side of her gnarled horn. “At some point I wish to meet my sire, mother.” Saturnia frowned.
