Angel of Nature Ch 7
"So what your telling me is that these two Changelings, one of which is suppose to be the next queen, have abandoned the Hive and now come to us to warn us that Chrysalis is going to attack Canterlot again?" Princess Celestia asked, trying to get conformation.
"That is exactly what I'm telling you." Everfree confirmed.
Celestia nodded her head for a few moments. After the reunion between the human and three ponies, two of them being Alicorns, they had promptly began to discuss the nature of why they had all arrived in Canterlot.
Though they weren't discussing this in throne room as per Everfree's request because he didn't want those present besides the Princesses and Shining Armor to be alarmed to what could be happening.
Celestia looked back at Everfree and despite knowing him for so long asked,
"How do you this is the truth, you know yourself that Changelings can deceive ponies."
Everfree nodded his head and accepted the truth behind the Princess' words but was sad that she had forgotten about his abilities.
"You forget that I'm connected to everything in nature. Every tree, every blade of grass, even the molecules that make up your mind, so in a sense, I know whatever your thinking about if choose to know, so yes Chrysalis is planning another attack."
With that said, Princess Celestia knew what she needed to do.
"Well if that is the case then there could already be Changelings among us, even any of us could be Changelings. We need to secure the city, no-one is to get in or out. Twilight, I need you and your friends to see to that, find the current Captain of the Royal Guard and inform him of the situation, Shining Armor, go with them and help them."
Twilight and her friends nodded then left to find the Captain of the Guard with Shining Armor in tow. Once they were gone, Celestia then turned to the remaining four, that being Everfree, Aleera and the two Changelings.
"It seems we'll have to leave the catching up for another but for now, I'll leave the Changelings in your care, Everfree. They'll be safe around you. I'll also inform the guards not to attack these, just in case."
Everfree nodded.
"If want some rest, your room is the same as last time you visited Canterlot and it is in the same spot as before."
Everfree nodded again.
"Thank your Celestia. I think I'll go to my room now. Nice to see you again, Celestia. You as well Cadance."
Everfree turned and left, with Aleera and the two Changelings in tow in disguise, and headed for his room which was close to the Canterlot Tower.
After manoeuvring through the maze like castle, Everfree was surprised to see his memory didn't fail him as he reached his destination.
He entered the room and everything was the same as last time he was here. The other three looked around the room while Everfree checked over a few things.
"Feel free to make yourselves at home, after all your all gonna be here with me."
Everfree unslung his bow from his shoulders and leaned it against a bedside table. Once he was done checking everything over he sat down on the bed and up clasped his cloak, and out it on the bedpost nearest him. He then laid back and enjoyed the comfort of the bed.
Then a thought struck his mind. He sat back up and looked at the Changelings who were laying on the ground.
"Do you two know of a Changeling known as Elssphia?"
If there was any thought of them knowing the name, they hid it well as Everfree couldn't tell if they did and he didn't want to go through their memories.
"The name sounds familiar..." Veredon said while looking towards Morphia.
"Indeed it does. Why do you ask, Angel?"
Everfree chuckled at the title he was just given. He was no Angel, at least not for the time being. His powers were slowly coming back showing that the Archangel hadn't banished his powers from him.
"I just remember a time when I was with another Changeling...the Changeling obviously being Elssphia..."
At that point, all three quadrupeds became interested and sat up. They all looked at each other as if having a silent conversation, which made Everfree, nervous then nodded to each other.
"Why don't you tell us about that time?" Aleera asked.
Everfree chuckled. He should've known this was going to happen, especially seeing as they were passing glances that were basically a conversation that is easily readable but he didn't see any reason as to why he should tell them what happened to him while he was on Earth.
"Ok then. This is my time while I was on Earth and this a long time before I met you, Aleera." Everfree began.
The three of them gathered around the foot of the bed and listened intently as Everfree recounted what was truly life threaten time for him and the one he was looking for.
"It began something like this..."
