Another day in her gilded prison. At least she thought so, it was hard underground with no sun and moon to go by. According to her warden it'd been five years since she'd last seen the light of day. Five years since Tirek had won and Chrysalis brought her down here to live with the changelings. As far as hiding places went it wasn't bad, since Tirek was busy ruling Equestria with an iron fist and apparently didn't even know about the existence of changelings. She was in a prison, but it wasn't to keep her in but rather to keep the rest of the world out.

She turned over in the 'bed' she shared with Chryssy. It wasn't actually a bed so much as a web of finely woven green silk, which she nestled herself into. It was unbelievably soft and warm, better than even cloud beds. As she turned over she inadvertently pressed her muzzle into Chryssy's stomach; she was spooning her. She didn't want to leave, but as queen Chrysalis had royal duties, and as consort so did she.

Chrysalis seemed to realize it too, stirring. "Morning, Twily."

She nuzzled deeper into her lover and 'jailer'. "Morning."

After some more stretching, the two of them got out of their bed webbing and shared a nuzzle. It was very dark, and the only light was the gentle, permanent glow of the changeling's eyes. "Well," Chrysalis said. "What have we on the agenda today, Twily?"

"Well, after breakfast I think you've got a meeting with the Swarm Commander, and then you're going to the eastern nymph school."

She nodded. "Breakfast it is then. Let's not keep the others waiting." After a brief kiss, the two of them left their room and trotted through the chambers. The underground hive of the changelings, deep beneath the Badlands, was immensely labyrinthine. It had to be, in order to hold a population of one million changelings. However, after living in the magically-ventilated hive for half a decade Twilight knew them like the back of her hooves, and her eyes had long ago adjusted to the darkness. It didn't take long at all for her and Chryssy to make their way to the dining hall, which had been set up solely for herself and the other princesses.

They were the first ones there in the squat, oval chamber. In its middle, the dark red stone of the Badlands had been carved into a table and covered in silk tapestries. They each took a seat next to each other, and Twilight found that a changeling servant had already brought her food on a stone plate. Cut off from the surface world as they were, the only thing Twilight had eaten in the past five years was the green slime changelings used to make their cocoons. It was very nutritious, it had to be in order to keep ponies inside cocoons from wasting away.

She couldn't help but smile at the way she'd been revolted by it in the past. She dug in, but...

... she tried to use her magic to lift it closer to her mouth. When nothing happened, she was reminded painfully of the gaping wound in her soul where four alicorns worth of magic had been torn out of her and not even her own returned. Chrysalis seemed to notice her internal pain and moved over to her, hugging Twilight tightly. "It's alright, Twily, it's alright." Chrysalis brought some of the slime to her and she took a bite.

Even with the sweet-and-sour taste making her taste buds dance, Twilight shivered. In her mind she could see her friends, staring in dismay as the Elements of Harmony were simply shrugged off by the monstrous centaur. Pinkie, Rainbow, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack, battered and dying while the Rainbow Power seeped out of their bodies and she hid behind a tree...

"They're here, Twilight."

She pulled herself out of her memories to look at one of the other tunnels. In walked the dull-eyed forms of Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, all bereft of their royal trappings. Changelings emerged out of side tunnels and delivered plates of slime for them as well, which the three looked at uneasily. Twilight could hardly blame them; it'd only been a few weeks since they'd freed them from Tartarus and tricked Tirek into thinking them dead. It was the first time Twilight had seen them since, since they'd been in private recuperating from their stay in Tartarus.

"Twilight," Cadance said. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," she whimpered, still in Chryssy's grasp. "Just having some flashbacks."

"You know," Chrysalis said behind her. "my offer for hypnosis therapy still stands."

Twilight nodded. "I might have to take you up on that," she whispered. She blushed when Chrysalis nuzzled into the top of her head, and directed her attention to the former princesses across from her. "How are you three adapting?"

"It certainly is superior to Tartarus," Luna said. "Though the slime..."

"It grows on you," Twilight said. The way she saw it, it made sense. The changelings fed off her Rainbow-empowered love, so that just herself alone was enough for all of them, and in return she fed off something they made. "It doesn't really taste that bad."

Chrysalis licked the top of her head. "I'm flattered you think so, Twily. Anyway, dig in everyling. Err, everypony."

Twilight eagerly ate the slime, but the others ate it hesitantly, slowly. Eventually, Celestia looked up. "Queen Chrysalis," she said tiredly. In fact, both Celestia and Luna had looked so frail ever since they'd given Twilight their powers. Twilight could only imagine how it must've felt to have the greatest earth pony magic in the world for thousands of years, strengthening every step, and then suddenly having none of it. "may I ask what you plan to do regarding Tirek?"

"Nothing," she said simply. "We're going to hide here as long as possible. If an opportunity - and I mean a real opportunity - presents itself to dispose of him we will, but until then we're just going to wait. We're all immortal here," Was she? Even without her magic, were they immortal? Twilight decided to trust her workerfriend on that point. "we can simply be patient." She nuzzled Twilight again. "Even with Twily's love, I would not stand a hate's chance with love against Tirek."

The changeling queen unwound from around Twilight and moved to the side, grinning wickedly in that sexy way Twilight had learned to love over five years. "No king rules forever, and that goes for Tirek as well. One day, he'll grow complacent. One day, he'll grow a chink in his armor. One day, he will have his back turned... and then we will strike." She looked at the three recently-liberated alicorns. "I swear to you this: one way or another, I will reinstate you three as the rulers of Equestria. It may not be tomorrow, or next year, or even for three millennia, but I swear on the name of Queen Tenodera the Unifier that it will happen."

"Three?" Cadance asked, tilting her head to the side. "What about Twilight?"

Chryssy blushed bright green and looked away bashfully. Twilight saw Luna take a bite of her slime, make a face, and swallow it. "Twilight's... grown on me. She's also grown to have a place within my kingdom." She turned to Twilight. "Twily, I want you to stay here, with me, once we eventually overthrow Tirek. I've grown rather attached to you."

Twilight finished up her slime. "I'd love to, Chryssy."

"Good." She leaned in close and gave her a sultry look. "Because you're mine, Sparky. All mine." She leaned in and gave her a kiss. Twilight, used to the actions by now, opened her mouth and let the changeling's long, serpentine tongue into her mouth, the incredibly sensitive muscles sending bolts of electricity up her spine.

Cadance squeed in delight.
