Meeting the masters daughter

After walking down the dirt road for some time, he started to notice plains full of ripe corn, pumpkins and cotton. He also saw other changlings picking the crops, looking starved and tired. 

As they walked, the pony had under his cloak a stick with jagged metal pieces at the end. If a changling slowed down, or stopped moving, he would strike them with it and yell " Keep moving you worthless bugs," or insults of similar nature. 

As they reached the house, a earth pony came out and rushed towards their master. 

" Daddy," she screamed! Smothering him in a hug,  after she released, he chuckled and said " Hello Lemon Drop. How are you and your mother today?" She replied " We are well. Mom said I had to ask you, but can I have my own changling?" " Maybe for your birthday, if you behave from now till then." " I will dad, I promise." 

While this exchange was going on, legion was thinking this. 'She is way too hyperactive. Chrysalis help me if I get assigned to her.' 

He pointed to the group with his hoof and said " In fact, I am going to let you choose from this batch of them tomorrow. But no peeking at them tonight. You will just have to wait till morning." She jumped up and down with excitement. 

She asked " Can I look at them now dad? Can I, can I?" He replied " Yes you may," with a smile. She hopped over to them and started looking them up and down carefully, like they were cattle. 

Each changling she reached would lower its head refusing to look her in the eyes. When she reached legion however, he looked her in the eyes. She froze for a second, with the ghost of a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. 

After the second passed, she moved on to the next changling, with that ghost of a smile still on her lips. After she was done inspecting them, she said to her father " I think I know which one I am going to choose. Thank you father." 

She then gave him a kiss on his cheek and ran back towards the house screaming " dads home!" 

The only thought on legions mind was this. ' Fuck.'
