Day 40

Most of the hive was gathered at the entrance as I gave orders to my hunting party to meet up with Chrysalis while I went to get Elytra and the rest of our forces plus I wanted to ask her more about her mother before I chose my own agenda. I wen back inside after hive move out to go check on the aquatic lings to get a message that they were all ready in Cantorlot down in the sewers under the city which made me proud as I thought about which of them to add to my hunting party as I got ready to fly to gather the last of our army. It didn't want to waste time so I flew as fast as I could reaching the small cave Elytra to me to before only to be greeted in the air by Sky and Trixie who grew wings like mine. Both were excited as they flew around me saying something about my offspring or something close to that, they were talking to fast for me to understand a word they saying so I put it out of my mind until I landed and saw Elytra who was showing a little weight gain but other than that she seem find in fact she jumped right on me and gave me an unexpected kiss before leaning into my shoulder I let her stay like that for a bit before telling her what was going on. Elytra gave me a frown and nodded before going out side a roaring to call the lings to the cave and they looked ready most of them had wolf or fox like fur sticking out between their chitin plates which had turned white or grey some had fox tails while other had spikes of ice running down their backs of white feathered wings. I couldn't check their abilities because we were pressed for time so me and Elytra carried those who couldn't fly and we made it to the meet up as the sun was setting plus I got to meet Elytra's sisters Pupa who was the oldest and looked almost chrysalis except for white freckles that dotted across her cheeks and Acid who like a feral chrysalis, it was also interesting to see their reactions to the new her.

Day 41

I was woken up by the morning light and was thrown a rabbit by Acid who noticed I was awake she was sharpening a battle axe next to Buzzelga who was sharpening his great sword. I quickly realized I over slept and ran to get the to Chrysalis to get the updated battle plan to find out she had all ready left with her force to try for a surrender but luckily Whisper was their to keep me up to date. So I knew what to do when a horn sounded and a shield started to expand from the castle pushing Chrysalis and her lings out of the city. Several changelings flew up with a net made of whisper and her followers silk catching the changeling that bounced of the shield while me, Buzzelga, Cadaia and Elytra coated ourselves in our magic and used our bodies to create a hole for the army which they poured though weapons at the ready dashing for the castle Chrysalis' ling knocked any pony in their way a side while my ling killed who ever got in their way unless told other wise. We quickly clamed the city in sectors chasing after the ponies that were fleeing towards the castle for refuge and safety but as we captured half of the city every ling was getting tired and I was growing board at crushing these ponies with a little effort so we hunker down and camped for the rest of the day checking losses and equipment before I was offered a pony by Glyph who was gnawing on a bone.

Day 42

I woke to blood splattering on my face I opened my eyes to see a cloaked pony standing over me holding a knife but with a light blue hand sticking out of their chest holding their heart. I yawned and started to lick the blood off my face. "Good morning Trixie."

"Good morning master I'm sorry to have disturbed your sleep but this worm need to be crushed." Trixie said crushing the ponies heart in her hand.

"Don't worry I needed to wake up anyway, so what happened while I was out?"

"Several attacks from the night guard but Glyph and her team handled them with ease while Sky and me prepared you a meal out of the pony assassins and night guards that snuck into our area. Trixie gestured for me to follow leading me to a pile of pony corpses that sky was sitting next to sharpening her spear until I walked up.

"Good morning master." Sky said resting her spear on her shoulder.

"Morning, Good job you two." I grabbed a random pony and tore off a leg and started to dig enjoying my meal even inviting Trixie, Sky, and Light who showed up with more corpses to join me they were hesitant at first which was understandable but after my hunting party showed up and started eating with me they joined in their stomachs causing them to give in. We relaxed laughing and making jokes until most of the pile was gone then we got to work Whisper and Glyph took off to do what they wanted. Buzzelga and Velger was joining up with Acid on an assault on the guard barracks. Cadaia went with me and Elytra to the center of the battle and we had some fun until a familiar purple beam hit Cadaia knocking her over I looked over to castle and saw the seven ponies from ponyville along with four others three of them looking like that purple one from before except in white, pink, and dark blue. I stepped up my sword ready only for Chrysalis to stop me.

"Hold for a second Drasa." Chrysalis said to me before turning to the ponies. "You see Celestia my new friends are more than a match for your ponies, surrender and no more blood need to be spilled." Chrysalis was confident as she looked at me as the thing that would bring her victory. I however wasn't as convinced and their was something in the back of mind telling me I was right.

"And what if we refuse?" The dark blue pony said her horn glowing angrily and her wings shifting on her back.

"Then princess Luna you can watch as your city falls to me by force." Chrysalis bravado was entertaining but I still couldn't shake this feeling that was telling me to get my hive out of the city. I shuffled over to Elytra and told her to get Glyph ready to call our hive out of the city should go south. Elytra nodded and took off to do as I asked while I reached for my sword ready to attack if anything made a wrong move. That when I realize I zone out of the conversation and had no idea what was happening but what I could was Chrysalis had gotten an answer she didn't like her face in a frown. Elytra had come back with the rest of my hunting party each with their squads all ready for a fight. I closed my eyes and let my poison mist start to flow from my mouth but that when I felt it again something we shouldn't be fighting was wait for us to make a move and this time I knew I wasn't the only one I could see it my hive was on edge and not in a good way. Then it hit me. "GLYPH SCREAM!" I yelled covering my ears as Glyph nodded taking a deep breath and screamed I could feel the air shaking from the sonic pulse and I saw everyone pony and changeling that didn't cover their ears writhing on the ground some were even starting to foam at the mouth I took a breath and let loose a torrent of flame burning everything in my path just Glyph stopped giving them no time to recover. But then shields started coming up and I wasn't having that so I tried something I've always wanted to do in my old world. I held out two fingers and channeled my magic creating a red ball at the end of them.

"Drasa what are you doing?"

"Something I've always wanted to try." I released my magic and a thin blast that pierced everything a good distance in front of me breaking through several sets of shielded ponies and the white stallion that was creating the shields it passed through his heart taking him out of the fight. Chrysalis looked at me and I looked at my fingers. "I was not expecting that to work." But then I saw several magic blast directed towards me forcing me to dodge as everything was now aimed at me

"Drasa I don't like this we aren't gaining any ground and I don't think the white and navy blue mares are trying." Whisper said appearing next to me shooting down a few pegasi with her bow.

"Your right get to the sewers and tell River Strider to bring it down then get to safety." Whisper nodded before vanishing while I went to Chrysalis and told her my plan. She took to the air along with all of her ling except for Acid who stayed with us as we fled me using my poison to cover our tracks but when I looked back I could see the pony army advancing taking advantage of our retreat lead by the purple and pink ponies who shoot blast after blast of magic at us separating us but then I saw Cadaia and her group stop our eyes lock and she turned back and summoned as much water as she could and created a tidal wave just as the city started to shake as it collapsed in on it's self. Then I heard a snap and silence as I got hit hard enough to knock me out lunching me into something.
