Chapter 1:Changing Winds

Hello my name is Poison Ivy and this is my story.

In a land far away from Equestria,lived a changeling queen whose heart was as black as night. Her name was Chrysalis and she had a daughter who was kind and caring,nothing like her. Her name was Poison Ivy. Chrysalis hatted the fact that her daughter was never going to be the evil queen that she was and considered her useless.
On her sixteenth birthday,Poison Ivy asked her mother if she could move to Equestria for a change. Sensing an opportunity to get rid of Ivy,Chrysalis said yes.
Poison Ivy could not have been any happier. She instantly spread her large wings and took off to Canterlot.

Upon reaching Canterlot,Ivy noticed that they were no changelings around and decided to transform into a lilac alicorn. But little did she know that they were only four alicorns in Equestria. Ivy landed near the gates of Canterlot Castle. A unicorn guard looked at Ivy with wide eyes,Ivy hot the guard a deadly glare which only made him stare even more.

"What?!" She finally snapped.

The guard just stood there for a few seconds before snapping back to reality and opening a door leading inside the castle.

"Follow me M'lady." He said before walking inside the door.
Ivy shrugged and followed the guard inside the castle. Inside the door it was pitch black but was soon illuminated by the guard's horn.

"Come" He said as he walked through a small alley connected to the room they stood in.

"If you say so..." Poison Ivy said as she followed the guard into the passage.

"So where exactly are we going?" She asked looking at the guard,his horn still glowing in the dark alley.

"To the Royal Sisters." He said with a serious expression.

Ivy stopped,dead in her tracks. She had heard horrible stories about the so called royal sisters back at the the hive. In one of them,the Royal Sisters defeated her long lost father, King Sombra.

"NO," She stomped. "I don't want to see the Royal Sisters,they killed my father!" Her face was lit a bright shade of red from anger and her horn was surrounded by a faint white aura,this went unnoticed by the two ponies.

"As long as know,Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have harmed no stallion!" The guard shouted,his brow furrowed.

"I never met my father because of them and now they are going to pay for it!" Her horn now shone a blinding white aura. The aura flowed freely and covered her body until her mane and tail were whipping wildly next to her.

The guard just stood there,his mouth agape in shock. He finally snapped out of his trance and broke into a gallop to the throne room. Where he finally got to the throne room he swung the doors open to reveal Princess Celestia and Princess Luna having a casual conversation.

"You're majesties!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. "I need help,apparently there is a fifth alicorn and she is out of control!"

Celestia and Luna both lifted an eyebrow, "And where is this ''out of control alicorn''Flash Sentry?" Princess Luna asked.

"In the Canterlot Caves you're majesty."Flash answered.

Celestia and Luna looked at each other and nodded. "Stay here,we will deal with this ''fifth alicorn.'' Princess Celestia said.

"Yes M'am!" Flash saluted.

"Good,now come sister we must see this "fifth alicorn" and have a talk with it." Princess Luna said.

The sun princess nodded and ran to the Canterlot Caves,her sister behind. The first thing the sisters heard when they entered the caves were growling noises and screams of pain,then they saw it. The lilac alicorn sprawled in the floor,her mane a tangled mess and a faint white aura surrounded her horn.

Princess Celestia gasped and hurried next to the traumatized alicorn.

"Calm down," Celestia comforted. "It will be alright."

Instantly,the faint glow on Ivy's horn disappeared and she looked up into Celestia's soft eyes.

"You..." Ivy gasped. "You killed my father!"

Celestia looked back at Luna;who just shrugged;and then back at Ivy.

"What ever are you talking about,dear?" Princess Celestia asked softly.

"You killed my father!" Ivy repeated. "I heard the stories back at home!"

Celestia cocked an eyebrow,"Who is your father?" she finally asked.

"King Sombra!" Ivy boomed. "And my mother is Queen of changelings,Queen Chrysalis!" Celestia and Luna both gasped.

"So you are the daughter of Queen Chrysalis?" Princess Luna asked with a frown in her lips.

"Yes and you are my father's slayer," Ivy boomed. "I demand to know why you banished him!"

Princess Celestia nodded and explained. "Your father was a very bad pony. He enslaved thousands of crystal ponies and killed whoever tried to escape from his command."

Ivy picked herself up and sat in her haunches. She listened carefully to Celestia.

"Ten years ago,King Sombra tried to take over the Crystal Empire again but failed. My former student and her friends defeated him with the Elements of Harmony." She explained.

"So my dad was a bad pony,like my mom?" Ivy asked.

"Sadly,yes." Princess Luna said,"But enough about Sombra,tell us about you." she pointed to Ivy. "You are clearly no ordinary pony."

"Yes I know." Ivy said. "I don't know how to control my powers. Back at the hive,everypony called me names and teased me because every time my powers got out of control,I pulverized somthing." Ivy fell face first to the floor,"I'm useless." she muttered.

"You are not useless...umm...what's your name,dear?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Poison Ivy." She said,muffled by the floor.

"Well Poison Ivy,I will send my guards to escort you to Ponyville so my former student;Twilight Sparkle;can teach you to your powers. I'm sure you will be pleased with the results." Explained Princess Celestia.

Ivy got up from the floor and looked into Celestia's soft eyes once again.

"But where will I stay?" She asked.

"You can stay at her castle,I'm sure she has an extra room you can borrow." Princess Celestia assured.

"Follow me to the castle so we can get you cleaned up. Then you can go to Ponyville." Princess Luna said.

"Okay," Ivy muttered. "Let's go."

Celestia and Luna led Ivy to the castle,where they would get her ready for her trip to Ponyville.

Luna took Ivy to her room and let her use her bathroom.

"Here..." She said giving Ivy a lavender bottle and a pink one,"This one is for your mane and tail,and this one is for the rest of your body." first she pointed to the lavender one and then to the pink one.

"Oh,and when you come out of the shower put this on." Luna said as she handed Ivy a black,long sleeved dress and a pair of gray boots.

"And brush your mane and tail when your done." She handed her a brush.

Ivy looked at Luna with a big smile,"Thank you so much." she said.

"Don't mention it." Luna replied with a wink,"Now go,Tia is waiting for you." she said before closing the door to the bathroom and leaving Ivy alone.


A few minutes later,Ivy emerged from the bathroom as clean as ever. Her mane and tail literally sparkled and the black dress looked stunning on her.

"Wow," Luna gasped. "Ivy you look amazing!"

Ivy blushed,"Thank you Luna." she said.

Celestia stood besides Luna,her eyes twinkling in the light.

"Take this," She said as she handed Ivy a scroll with a wax seal. "Give it to the lavender alicorn."

Ivy nodded and tucked it inside one of the dress's pockets.

"Thank you both for everything." She said as she hugged the Royal Sisters. "I'm going to miss you."

"Us too." Princess Celestia said,breaking the hug.

Celestia and Luna led Ivy to the guards and waved as they took off towards Ponyville. When they were out of sight range,Celestia took out a piece of parchment and a quill.
Then,she started scribbling.

Dear Twilight Sparkle...
