Late Night Snack by Knight of Lycaeus (Adorable)

by Knight of Lycaeus

A dark shadow carefully crept through the darken hallways of the Crystal Oaks. Silently the shadow made its way to its destination, avoiding the use of any magic so as to avoid alert any of the scattered patrolling Guards. At last the prize was in sight; the door ahead at the end of the hallway was unremarkable and looked like any other door in the castle. The shadow smirked knowing the layout of the Crystal Oaks and that their prize was just beyond the threshold of the door.

The shadow knew this last hallway would be the trickiest, there was a lone Guard on patrol but the curtains had been drawn back allowing moonlight to stream through the windows banishing most of the darkness preventing the shadow from using them to hide. Still the shadow was smart, it had a plan. Wings that the shadow possessed, but had yet to use for it knew it might draw the attention of the Guards, drew itself to its full span before quietly flying up towards the ceiling. It flew high above the patrolling Guard and to the door. The prize it had been searching for was so close; all it had to do was open the door. The shadow carefully opened to door so it would not creak and stepped inside.

Stepping inside the room flooded with lights and revealed the shadow to be….

“Twilight, Twilight. Sneaking around in your own palace?” Chrysalis said tauntingly.

“Oh, er, hello Chrysalis,” Twilight said nervously.

“Now what could have gotten my lover up so late?” Chrysalis pondered out loud, “I would say books or research but we’re not standing in the library are we?”

Twilight said nothing but gave a shaky nod.

“No, we’re in the kitchens!” Chrysalis continued. “So why would you be here? Didn’t a certain Pony lecture me about late night snaking?”

Twilight slumped over, “Yes….”

“Yet here you are, in the kitchens.” Chrysalis said.

“Fine, I was here to find a snack.” Twilight admitted.

Chrysalis waved a hoof beckoning Twilight to continue.

“And I shouldn’t have lectured you about it, especially since I was doing just that.”

Chrysalis nodded, “Good, although I do wonder why you would break one of your own rules.”

Twilight looked sheepish, “I was kind of buried in research earlier and I probably, kind of, forgot to eat….”

Chrysalis smirked, “So late night snacking?”

Twilight nodded.

“I’ll let this slide…. this one time.” Chrysalis said before turning towards Twilight with a grin, “I know I don’t eat the same food as you do most of the time but maybe we could still bring back some things to share.”

Twilight who was slightly tired thought there might be a second meaning to what Chrysalis said…. actually knowing Chrysalis there probably was and for Twilight her only response was to nod.

A pair of Guards stationed outside the Royal Suite had just admitted their rulers back into their rooms when they heard a loud thump and a squeal. Sighing one said to the other, “I’ll find us a spellcaster for a silencing spell.”

His partner mutely nodded as more sounds could be heard before blurting out, “Quickly, please!”
