AN EX- PRINCESS
Princess Twilight Sparkle was tried in Canterlot yesterday, the decided punishment was exile. 
After leaving Ponyville and most of Equestria in ruins our beloved Princess Celestia and Princess Luna finally cast the spell that got Twilight Sparkle in captivity and on her way to the Canterlot. It is rumored that the ex-princess was in cahoots with Chrysalis, queen of the Changelings. 
“She says ‘I don’t know what happened, I don’t remember’, all day long, I think there might be some brain damage, but I’m a lawyer, not a doctor,” Says Gavel Wood, who was serving as the attorney to Twilight Sparkle on the day of her trial. 
We don’t know many details to this story besides the fact that it is indeed Twilight Sparkle being exiled. We also don’t know her current whereabouts. 
The royal sisters are hurriedly working to restore balance and find Queen Chrysalis for questioning.

I threw the retched page down, the old ink starting to run from the rain still pounding down. I hadn’t succeeded in finding shelter yet, so I was freezing cold and soaked. I can’t believe this though.  Some back washed old town’s paper believes that I did this. I may not have found proper shelter, but I had figured out where I was; The Swamp of New Horseleans. A.K.A The Changeling hangout. That’s right. They dropped me off where Queen Chrysalis supposedly lives, the same Chrysalis I supposedly teamed up with. 

If the newspaper hadn’t been pulp before, it was now, the black and white lines distorting and blurring all into one mutual grey. I looked up at the dank trees around me, the marshy waters sitting not two hoofs from me. It all came crashing down right then. Where are my friends? What in Equestria had happened? Did I really do all this? The words swirled in my mind, I lay down and cried. I cried until the tears left me, leaving my body an empty husk of purple fur. I was gone. Everything I had ever known had disappeared. I will never see my friends or fami-no, I just remembered, they had disowned me. They had all turned their backs against my case, seeing me do all those things. Even in a world with magic some things are unbelievable. I will forever be unbelievable. 

I heard a rustle, and even in my weakened state I knew that could not be good here in the swamp. I sat up. There it was again, just to my left, accompanying it this time was a grunt. 

“We found you….”

“Who’s there?” I called out. They were clearly getting close.  I could smell them, whatever or whomever this intruder was, they hadn’t bathed in weeks.

“You don’t recognize our voices?” Came the voice, significantly closer, and up higher in the air.

There was a flash of light and I was in the air, all around me was black. I could see faint circles of glowing blue orbs that had to be eyes, not just any eyes.  Changeling eyes; they had found me.

I couldn’t hear my own voice over the loud sound of flapping insect wings as the horde of changelings past me around. The thousand small black creatures obstructed my view, but every once in a while I could see large purple spires topped with blue spheres with light holes lining the walls and dripping with green slime and the occasional cocoon scattered the crude building. We were heading for the changeling castle. 

The horde of Changelings dived, taking me with them. We flew through an intricate series of tunnels, making countless turns and twists. Soon the horde spilt up and I was being carried by only two changelings. We landed in a large and considerably long room that had to be partially underground. I was completely deserted, except for the tall, blue maned , hole ridden queen.

“Ah, Twilight Sparkle…So nice to see you again.” Chrysalis’ voice played.

“I can’t say I think the same.” I replied, the words bursting from my tongue.

“Well, why ever not? I thought we were…partners.”
