Most Wonderful of Nights

'Eclipse'

Chrysalis looked up at the Night Queen who was lost in her sisters eyes. "She's not Celestia anymore, what are you going to name her?" Chrysalis asked as she cautiously walked over to her friend.

Night stayed silent in thought for a long moment. Suddenly her eyes light up with passion and excitement. "Eclipse! " she said as loud as she thought she could without scaring her little sister.

Chrysalis quirks an eyebrow. "Like the moon passing infront of the sun? That's... perfect honestly" the Queen could only smile at her friends decision.

Suddenly the Queen's attention was diverted to the groans of pain comming from the remains of a house her guards, and the Night guards had flown into after Sun-Stroke's attack. "My children!" Chrysalis cried running to the rubble trapping her Changelings and Night’s guards. She lifted a boulder to reveal a Changeling. He was barely breathing and his legs were crushed beyond recovery. The other four were out cold but were, for the most part, unharmed.

One of the Night guards was impaled on a wooden support pillar, it tore right through his armor and it appeared as though he had died instantly. Two of the others were badly wounded but were still alive.

Chrysalis and Night stabilised the badly wounded and get a local pony by the name of Rainbow Dash to fly a letter back to Canterlot Castle to get help.

After a half hour a medical unit arrived at the town putting the badly wounded on stretchers and treating to the ones who could still walk. Night and Chrysalis were the first ones to return to Canterlot with the new Princess in hoof.

A tear dripped down Night's cheek as she held the sleeping filly in her hooves on the flight home.

"Are you okay Night?" Chrysalis asked flying just to her right looking slightly concerned for her partner.

She looked over to Chrysalis with the most sincere smile on her face "I'm just so happy I have my sister back... I never would have dreamed I would ever have her back" Another tear dripped down the night mare's face falling to earth like a drop of rain.

After that there was silence for most of the trip back to the city.

Night landed first and looked up at Chrysalis. She waved and flew down into the sewers. Most people in the city didn't know that the entrance into the Changeling capital was in the sewers of Canterlot and that there was a whole city under Canterlot in the crystal caves.

Chrysalis landed at the entrance to one of the sewers leading inside the mountain Canterlot was built onto; she started making her way along side the disgusting sludge. Chrysalis was never really bothered by the smell of the sewers her and her people called home.

"Scar, Kickler where are you two?" The Queen called into the dug out tunnel that was one of the entry points to the hive. The two Changeling warriors walked out of the darkness inside the hole.

"Reporting for duty ma'am" Scar said with an excited and loyal tone in his voice while Kickler just rolled his eyes.

"Please ignore this hatchling my Queen. What is your bidding?" Kickler asked bowing slightly.

"I want you to go and fetch my student, I have some things I want to teach her" The Queen smiled almost evilly.
