SeanofTheDead

It had been almost a month now since Twilight's return after her disappearance. Six months since the massacre of her hive. Chrysalis lay in the bed they had both shared before the tragedy had occurred. And before the other changeling hives had decided that she was no longer fit to rule her own. And that the changelings under her control weren't "pure" enough anymore. It had been horrible, the princesses had barely shown up in time to save two hundred of her little changelings. They had been over forty-thousand strong.

The sheer numbers of the other hives combined had overwhelmed them quickly, and yet her little changelings had kept fighting anyway. They had decided that they wouldn't die cowering and they would die defending the the young. Would that they had been successful. Chrysalis could still hear their screams as she had raced towards them. She and Twilight had been able to save twenty. Her eyes filled with tears at the very thought of it. She wanted nothing more than to curl up and die, to forget the tragedies she had brought upon her hive, and her wife. She had next to nothing now. Her changelings had praised her for managing to protect what she had until Celestia and Luna had arrived. Thankfully after Chrysalis had shouted that they had killed the young ones, the princesses hadn't shown mercy.

But now she was alone in Ponyville while Twilight was in Canterlot receiving the best medical care possible within this world. Seeing her love beaten and tortured as she was...it had been too much for Chrysalis to bear.  Chrysalis made daily trips to see Twilight, and every time she would appear to be slightly better. She now appeared to be fully healed, but she still hadn't awoken. Celestia was currently interrogating the changeling queen that had been responsible for Twilight's condition. And Shining Armour was en route to assist her. They could only guess that Twilight's experience had been SO traumatic that her mind was still processing it all. Or that the other queen had done something to her. Hence the interrogation, hence Chrysalis' despair...hence the tears that had dampened the pillow beneath her head.
