She looked around the dim lighted room. Green flame torches light the room, a raggedy bed of where she had awoken, a couple of old bookshelves, books written in a language that she couldn’t understand. She set her gaze at the door. Two changelings in human form guarded her way, they had their back to her and had not noticed she had even woken. Fluttershy had to think of a plan to escape this room and find Alex. The touch of his lips were still fresh on her mind. her heart sank, hoping that he was alright. Fluttershy brought her mind back to her current situation. “ There must be a way to get out of here, “ she said to herself. She noticed a old iron cauldron. it was small enough to carry heavy enough to knock someone out .Instantly Fluttershy put herself in action, she grabbed the pot and creeped her way up to the guards. “ Um, excuse me? Can you look over here for a second please?” She asked the guards softly. They turned to look then bam, she had swung the iron pot knocking the first guard out. The other was so shocked he had no time to react as fluttershy slammed the cauldron down on the top of his head. “ When someone blocks your way, make them pay, ” Fluttershy said with a small giggle. She set the caudron and politely tiptoed away. She slid through the halls with ease; it seemed the other guards had other things to do. A loud laugh could be heard from far down the hall. It sounded that of a witch. Fluttershy jumped at the laughter hiding behind a stone statue of a man in a cloak, she observed that statute. It had an emblem of a sun and a crescent moon overlapping making a mystifying effect to the statue. In a way the statue reminded her of Alex, they seemed to have that same aura. Though, the guy in the statue did look more beefed and looked about forty. The sound of hooves came through the hallway and a erie voice followed with it. “ This universe is quite an odd one, these ‘humans’ seem not much of a threat,” the voice came from the queen of the changelings, Chrysalis. She passed down the hall levitating a very old and odd book. Fluttershy hide behind the shaw of the statue’s cloak. Chrysalis turned and looked at the statue. “ Its been a long time since I’ve even seen one of the Guardians of the Nexus. They have been dead for four thousand years and there is no evidence of them existing here or Equestria, now I will make them pay for you breaking my heart, ” Chrysalis said angrily to the statue. Fluttershy didn’t understand what she was talking about. What the heck was a Guardian of the Nexus and who broke Chrysalis heart. There was so many things that just didn’t add up about this mess, but she knew somehow she was involved if she wanted to be or not. Chrysalis stormed off down the hallway, the statue had really triggered a spark in her or something, but it wasn’t good. Fluttershy snuck down the rest of the hallway to two big wooden doors. She pushed them open slowly so they wouldn’t creak and get her cover blown. Fluttershy entered the main room it was a huge library and in the center was an altar where a book was placed, it had the same symbol as the statue in the hall. Fluttershy tiptoed her way over to the book. She flipped it open. It had the same writing as the books in the room she was held in, though this time, there were some parts she understood. “ Our pact to the sun and the moon to live together with day and night, the harmony between the universes, the nexus of might. As we guard the worlds never know that in which this bloodline flows. We are the Guardians of the Nexus, the Creators of the elements, protectors from dismay and chaos.” she read out loud “ What does this mean? The creators of the elements? Protectors from dismay and chaos? ” Fluttershy said looking through the book but the rest was in the same random gibberish as before. She flipped through the pages, she stopped at a picture of a boy with three Alicorns standing beside him. They all seemed to be laughing and smiling the, first two Fluttershy ruled out as Princess Celestia and Luna. The other Alicorn was beautiful and have soft green eyes. The boy had a strange resemblance to Alex. They had the similar facial features and long brown hair. How was Alex connected to this place Fluttershy wondered. The door swung open to find a very enraged Chrysalis. “ What do you think you're doing?! ” She said, then gave a sinister smile. Fluttershy stood in fear, frozen with fright in her eyes, glued to the Queen of the Changelings. “ I was wondering where you would turn up, I have something special for your little friend when he arrives. I wonder what it would be like to make the first ever human changeling? He would be my slave forever, ” Chrysalis said with a chuckle. Fluttershy clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. “ I will never let you lay your nasty hooves on a single hair of his head, ” Fluttershy Threatened. Her eyes burned with hate, fear no longer in her mind, just hate and a defensive switch when Alex was mentioned. “ Oh? So you are in love with the human? ” Chrysalis asked Fluttershy Blushed at the question but was too embarrassed to say . “ This will be more easy then I thought, “ she said with another laugh this time, this time it seemed more of an insult to Fluttershy then the last. Chrysalis stomped her hoof and a few guards came from outside the door. “ That’s sweet, I will make sure you watch as I suck all the love out of him, ” Chrysalis said then headed out the door. “ Take her to the dungeon, it seems her regular accommodations were not to her fitting, ” the Queen said then left the room. Fluttershy didn’t resist any of the guard when they shackled her arms and lead her down into the dungeon. Authors note: Hello every pony i'm so sorry that you had to wait so long.
