Chapter Four: 

(Ten minutes later)

I was propped up against a wall, most likely forgotten about. I couldn't hear much anymore, only very muffled shouts and the occasional clang of metal on metal. I couldn't see anything, seeing as I hardly had the strength to open them. 

I sighed to myself, I failed them...and I was so close to... 

Then, I felt something touch my chin and lift my head up. 

"Chrysalis...it's over. " He said, the one who I should've taken care of a long time ago: Aeris. 

I spat in the direction his hooves were. 

"You had a chance to redeem yourself. To set everything right. For there not to be countless casualties. You've failed, Chrysalis." The disgrace continued. 

I started to speak, but Aeris cut me off. 

"You're a dead changeling, Chrysalis." The bluntness of the statement caught me off guard. I looked down to find that I was indeed  a dead changeling. 

A spear found it's way in between my ribs and into my right lung. I wondered how I failed to notice it. 

When I looked up, my son had gone away. 

Until now, I had never felt so alone. 

The sounds of battle faded from my ears, as well as the rest of my senses. 

Today was supposed to be perfect, I thought.
