//------------------------------// // Chrysalis // Story: Seasons guardian // by Guard Crimson Blaze //------------------------------// Cosmic ignored Discord ranting as they walked through the deadland towards the changeling hive where Chrysalis would be. "So I was thinking that maybe you could join me and Fluttershy on one of her animal picnics, its so much fun" "Ah huh" Cosmic mumbled and to jump back in surprise when several changelings appeared pointing spears at her glaring "What are ponies and the chaos lord doing here in changeling territory" One changeling questioned pointing his spear closer to her "We're here to speak to Chrysalis about something" Cosmic said before the spear turned into flowers instead and turned to Discord "Now that's much better isn't it, all those spears just might hurt somepony" He said laughing to himself "Follow us we're taking you to the Queen" They said pushing them towards the hive "Queen Chrysalis a pony and the chaos lord are here wishing to speak to you" A changeling said kneeling in front of a throne where the changeling Queen herself sat "Bring them in" She ordered and the doors opened as Discord and a Pegasus were pushed in. Chrysalis appeared before them glancing briefly at Discord and focused her attention to the Pegasus "Cosmic it has been awhile since I have last saw her, are you here to make fun of me again like last time" "What are you talking about? I never made fun of you" Cosmic said confused "You just up and disappeared one day like Discord without any warning or where you were going" "Oh don't act like you don't know" Chrysalis said circling the Pegasus "Don't you remember calling my species an abomination, disgusting, and wishing that we were all gone from this world because no pony would ever accept us" "No I don't remember because I never said those things to you, I would never say that your one of a kind, and even though changelings look the same you have your own personality and different kind of talents" "Its true" A changeling guard said but looked away when Chrysalis glared at him "How can it not be true if you told me in person, you approached me when I was walking through the forest" "Why in Equestria would I be in the forest I spent most of time by the tree giving it my energy, and even if I wasn't I would be exhausted and either be in bed sleeping or just laying in the field" Cosmic exclaimed "Starflash hardly ever leaves my side besides when I leave the island, and before you say I may have approached you when I come back I teleport to the tree not walk through the barrier and through the forest because-" "Its a waste of your time" Chrysalis finished falling onto her flank "Then if that wasn't you who was talking to me that day then who was it?" "Probably the same smoke creature that convinced Discord to spread chaos throughout Equestria" Cosmic said indicating to the Draconequus...who was nowhere to be seen "Argh Discord we don't have time to playing one of your games" "Oh but it was so much fun playing hide and seek back in the old days" He sang appearing behind her and had a blindfold appear over her eyes "Discord" She pulled the blindfold off and pointed a hoof at Chrysalis "Just tell her about the smoke creature that you encountered" "Alright then well it all started on a bright and sunny day" Discord started making Cosmic groan "This going to take awhile" She muttered and leaned against the wall. She turned to the changeling guard next to her "So whats it like serving under Chrysalis" "Okay I guess I just started this week but the other guards said its better than guarding outside" He replied surprised at how layback she was talking to him "So eating love" Cosmic said "Must be tough and even tougher now after the attack on Canterlot" "Yeah it is but we make do disguising ourselves as travelers, that way ponies won't be suspicious of us looking like somepony they really know" "Hm I've been meaning to ask but are you Chrysalis' children or something cause if you are then she must have really wanted children" Cosmic questioned curious making the changeling cheeks ting pink "I never really knew how changelings are born" "No you've got it all wrong we were normal ponies who decided that we didn't want to be ponies anymore, so there is this whole transformation process that takes a couple of days till we become full changelings" He explained and Cosmic pulled out a notepad and begun taking notes "Even though we may never return to normal its worth it because we get wings, a horn and the ability to change into anypony we want" "What about creatures? I've only really heard of changelings turning into ponies" Cosmic questioned glancing at Discord who was being chased by Chrysalis who seemed angry by something he said "Well the Queen is only to because it takes a lot of magic to transform into creatures because their body structure and size is larger than ponies" The changeling said "Changing into ponies doesn't take that much magic after we get use to it" "Thanks for the talk it was really informative" Cosmic said then walked over to Chrysalis and Discord pushing them apart before they could physically hurt each other "All right I think your done explaining Discord, so what is your response to this Chrysalis?" She looked expectantly at the alicorn who only looked at the ground "I'm more angry that I was deceived and left you without confronting you on the matter" She said quite guilty "Like Discord I'm sorry that I left you without informing you on what happened, and letting my anger take over when I could've talked to you about the matter" Cosmic smiled softly and walked over to Chrysalis hugging her "I'm just glad that you no longer believe something false, but your still getting your punishment like Discord has" Cosmic hugged Chrysalis tighter "...You were running away from your problems weren't you" Chrysalis asked "Why does everypony keep saying that!" Cosmic exclaimed "I don't run away from problems I take care of it like any other pony" "Then how come you acted when the princesses and elements of harmony helped when Starflash dragged you to them" Discord pointed out "..." "Thought so" "...Discord your punishment has extended, you too Chrysalis" Chrysalis looked shocked "What why?" "For leaving me and because you say I run from my problems" Cosmic pouted and Chrysalis deadpanned at her "Its the truth so accept it" "...Lets just go please"
