Celestia looked at Chrysalis reluctantly. "So, let me get this straight, you got evicted from the rest of the Changelings by the other queens, it turns out they are all over Equestria and can adapt?" Celestia facehoofed. "So, who would be the most dangerous Queens?" She asked.

Chrysalis hummed. "Dangerous in general, or dangerous to you?" She asked.

"Both." Celestia replied, curious.

Chrysalis nodded, thinking. "All of us are dangerous, at least, the ones that evicted me. But Myxine is very dangerous. She has the ability to turn herself into water, and the secondary barb on her horn is capable of secreting a paralyzing poison. Myxine is practical, she won't attack like I did. The most docile of us would be Ambrosia, in actuality." Chrysalis shrugged. "Each Queen has several special abilities, making it hard to classify them. For example, I am much more potent in terms of magic than the others, and I can also teleport others to a prison of my choosing. Ambrosia can affect someone's mind by a simple glance, not even magic, through what I call the "Enthrallment of the Siren.", she's also capable of speaking to any animal." Chrysalis paused to take a breath.

"Calliphora can use blood as a secondary life-force and can manipulate light and shadow to her will. Miasma can secrete acidic saliva or healing saliva, and she's also extremely swift. The last queen, Lacera, is perhaps the most dangerous because she has three special abilities. Lacera can not only turn intangible and invisible, but she can also shoot energy orbs, not magical orbs, out of her horn." Chrysais finished. "The Changeling Queens have adapted to this for reasons."

"Myxine's hive lives near the sea, so turning into water is useful, and the poison would be good for prey. Heaven knows those Eels are slippery. Ambrosia's hive lives in the jungles, making her animal speak useful, as is her enthrallment of the siren, as it lets her control them. Calliphora's hive live near cemeteries, thus the blood, light and shadow are useful. Miasma actually just manifested her powers, I'm not sure why. Lacera however lived near where if you were easily found, you were easily captured. The predators were immune to most Magic, meaning she had to adapt."

Celestia looked at Chrysalis, fascination gleaming. "This is very interesting, Chrysalis, but can all of the changelings from those hives do that?"

"That's complicated. The full ability is unique to each individual queen. For example, Ambrosia is the only one in her hive that can do the Enthrallement of the Siren and the animal speak. No other queen can, and neither can any of her hive, at least not a real Enthrallment or Animal Speak. However, these traits are slightly manifested within their hive, so that's why Ambrosia's hive prefers to seduce, because the Enthrallment of the Siren does something similar. Calliphora's hive have her abilities but to a far less extent, making even gallons of blood worth the same as a quart to Calliphora, similar things apply to the others."

The Matriarch of the Sun nodded. "So, the real question is Chrysalis, why should I allow you into Equestria? The crimes you've commited.."

"Were for the good of the changelings. We were starving. When you are in the badlands, you tend to forget your manners." Chrysalis snarled back, her old venom in her voice back. Luna squirmed, uncomfortable.

"How did the conversation go from my feelings to politics?" Luna murmured, disgruntled, kind of irked at her sister. She came to talk about her feelings, which Celestia always encourages, yet it turned into a political discussion.
