Changing Colors

4: Coronation

Morphing Charity worked day and night to create the dresses. Chrysalis' took the longest to make.

Shimmering Dusk's dress look like twilight itself, except instead of orange at the bottom, turquoise-green settled there and seemed to shift and move with the other colors. The skirt-part went down to Dusk's hooves and looked as though it was melting into the floor. At the chest-half of the dress was black, obsidian-black. The chest-piece was an orb that looked like the ones they had eaten before.

Bending Loyalty's dress look like a rainbow but had turquoise-green mixed in lightly. The skirt-part went above her hooves slightly. The chest-half was the same as Dusk's and had the same chest-piece orb.

Honest Change's dress was red with turquoise-green speckled at the bottom until it was totally turquoise. The skirt-part was higher than Bending Loyalty's, but not by much. The chest-half was the same.

Morphing Charity's dress was diamond-blue and had (what-else) turquoise-green sequins lining the bottom. The skirt-part went above her hooves slightly. Chest-half, same as before.

Shifting Kindly's dress was pink with the occasional small (do I have to say it) turquoise-green flower. The skirt-part's length was the same as Charity's. Chest-half, (you should already know) same.

Laughing Flip-Flop was... pink, pink, and some more pink. There was no turquoise-green (FINALLY!!). The skirt-part, same as the previous. Chest-half, (you guessed it) same.

Chrysalis' dress was (I AM NOT DESCRIBING IT!) that color. It reached the floor. Chest-half was the same color and had a black orb as a chest-piece.

Morphing Thorn's suit was... THAT'S IT!!! I'M NOT DESCRIBING IT!! It's the color, and it's a suit for the size of him! There! Happy!? Stupid descriptions with stupid colors and b-

DISCORDFAN!? How could you almost say it!? Um, well... Eh, whatever. Now continue with the story! Erm, ahem. The room was still decorated for the coronation. Nothing. Was. Out. Of. Place. Nothing. Shifting Kindly reached into her mind and searched for some music. She opened her mouth and the sound came out. The coronation had started.

Shimmering Dusk walked along the carpet and to the column holding her crown and to Chrysalis.

"Changelings," stated Chrysalis, "as you all know, Shimmering Dusk is here today to become the newest Queen of the Hive. She has only shown positives concerning the outlook of a ruler." Chrysalis levitated Dusk's crown over. "Shimmering Dusk, do you take up all the responsibilities of a Hive Queen?"

"I do," Dusk announced.

"Do you promise that you will forever protect the Hive through all times?"

"I do."

"Will you willingly give your life if it means the Hive will live?"

"I do."

"Then I, Queen Chrysalis, strip myself of my title and hoof it to you." She levitated the crown onto Dusk's head. "Now, presenting Queen Shimmering Dusk, Queen of the Hive. May you live a long life." Chrysalis bowed and every-ling followed suit. Queen Shimmering Dusk flared her wings and stood tall.

"Chrysalis, you called through the Hive mind?" Chrysalis was looking out a portal-window she had opened . She could see somewhere, but no creature could see her. She closed the window.

"Yes, Queen, I did," replied Chrysalis. Dusk winced at the title.

"Please, Chrysalis, call me Dusk!"

"A-alright... Anyway I asked you here because I must talk to you about... eggs."

"Eggs?"

"Yes. Changeling eggs actually."

"Oh?"

"Yes. As queen, you must, ah... lay the eggs. It's a lot of work and if your womb forms a queen than we'll have a small problem..." Shimmering Dusk put up a hoof.

"Why would there be a problem? What would happen?"

"Well, when the queen got older she would either go form her own Hive or, um... kill the current queen?" Dusk's eyes widen. If she had a daughter, there's a possibility she would kill her own mother?! Dusk sat down. Her mouth moved, but words didn't come out. "I know it's a lot to take in. And you probably don't want to start a Hive yet, but"

"How do I begin?"

"W-well, I perform a spell giving my birthing right to you."

"Then let's begin."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Alright..." Chrysalis began casting the spell. Her horn first was just outlined in green, but now it was just green, not black. Dusk began to float in the air. Green lights zipping around her. Shimmering Dusk closed her eyes. Suddenly millions of voices were in her head, but it wasn't the Hive mind. She felt memories.

"Pl-please, don't hurt me..."

"Run, children! RUN!!"

"My babies, I'm so sorry..."

In each memory there was a certain white coated, blue maned unicorn stallion she knew.

They're all dead, Dusk. They're all dead because of HIM...

Shining Armor will pay, Chrysalis. He will pay for killing my changelings and hurting you.

Yes... We will make your former brother pay. And he will pay dearly, indeed.

Shimmering Dusk was then in deep thought. That mother b*cking brother of hers, Captain of the Royal Guard, was performing crimes. Murder. Racist murder. She probably can tell Celestia... No! That ship has sailed, and a new one has taken port. She would deal with her 'Oh-So-Special' BBBFF herself. She would claim vengeance for her changelings.

Yes. Shining Armor is considered as good. As. Dead...
