I've finally found this thing! I dropped this in a cupcake and now theres a bite mark on it, but I found it! Okay, so, I'll track everything i did earlier in this. I had a cupcake, and it had a bunch of candies shaped like the elements of harmony on it. Then I went to the library, and read this book on changelings because I wanted to see how ponies thought of us, exactly. It was more factual then having many opinions. It said it was written be some zebra named Zecora, but I don't even know if zebras exist! It talked about changeling transformation limits, the Hive, defectives and elites, lots of stuff. The thing that really caught my eye though, was "changeling transformation limits" I still have the book so I'll write out what it said.
" Chaptor Four : Changeling Transformation Limits
All changelings but the queen, have limits in transformation. When they turn into a pony, any size, any shape, any color, their energy gets slightly drained by time. When they run out, they turn back into changeling form in a slow process; usually beginning with the hooves. They can regain the energy by eating love. All other foods have no effect on them besides making them feel unhungry. The queen is a special changeling who is larger and more intelligent, but she also goes without this limit, meaning she does long-term changes more often."
I can't feel it, but that must mean every second, my energy is draining! Thats bad. Real bad. What do you think they'd do if I was discovered?! Like, burn me alive like they say the Blanks do?! Banish me to the hive where the queen would kill me?! MAKE ME EAT A WORM?! No pony is in love with me, so nopony is willing. In order to feed on a non-willing pony, it would harm them, and get ME caught! I mean, I can't just go and ask somepony "If by any chance I was a changeling, what would be a good way to feed off of love without hurting anypony?!" that would be stupid. I have absolutely no idea, and I don't know how long I have before I run out of energy. this won't be ending well.
