Starve

Queen Chrysalis to her Hive:

Take my love. Use it well. That is my last gitf to you, my children. Survive!

It was the single most powerful, incontestable, absolute order the Changeling Queen had ever given. One thought, one titanic though that echoed throughout the hive mind, amplified by pain and grief, sadness and despair, and most of all, desperation.

Battered and broken beyond all repair, Chrysalis could only do one thing. She couldn't move. She couldn't use magic. She couldn't help her children who so desperately needed her. But she could do this.

'FEED!'

And she was dinner.
