The Curse of the Queen

Chapter Two: The Curse of the Queen

It was a day before the summer solstice that it finally eventually happened.

That was when she finally turned into a horrible terrible ugly monster.

Queen Chrysalis wanted to meet with Star Swirl and the king in private so that she could test out his potion and spell making skills, and other various random things and stuff. And that was why and how it happened on that very day.

“You are very good with this,” Chrysalis said very seductively circling around Star Swirl like a shark swims around its prey, “Perhaps I should take lessons from you, after all, you are inventing this new potion I have never seen before.”

“Please,” he said trying to brush off her compliment and trying to avoid her gaze, “I do not need or want your thanks and compliments, but I could teach you how to make and duplicate this, although I would highly recommend and suggest not to do so since this is one of the most dangerous potions that I have ever made in my life, and I discovered the brew of immortality so… you know. There’s that to consider from
the stallion who is now currently speaking.”

“What does it do exactly?” she said leaning over the cauldron slightly.

He pushed her back from the edge slightly, “The first thing that I say is that this thing is very dangerous and your first instinct is to get closer to it?

I don’t know whether or not that makes you just plain stupid or crazy, or perhaps maybe a little bit of both instead. But please, stay far away from this, I wouldn’t want you to get hurt from this thing. But to answer your previous question this is a potion that enhances the heart’s beauty and nature.

If you are good then it will enhance that and no matter what you look like it will make your physical
appearance have even more beauty and splendor.

However, if you are not good and instead evil then it will only enhance that and instead of having more beauty you will have less of it for your many actions.

This thing can twist and turn you many ways, and even possibly corrupt you too. And that is why I have named this the heart’s curse,” he said.

“But why did you ever name that?” she said.

“Because no pony will ever have a pure enough heart where this potion could not enhance it anymore, and no pony is ever truly objectively good.”

“Don’t be ridiculous or silly, surely there must be some pony out there?”

“Maybe,” he said, “But they probably haven’t even been born yet.”

“Very well then,” she said, “If you say so.”

“I do,” he said, “And I also say that I should have never made this potion in the first place, I don’t know why I ever did so or agreed to show you my skills.

Well I do know, sort of, but that’s not the real point here.”

“Then what is the real point?” she said.

“I don’t see that your future is ever good at all with that potion.”

“Nonsense,” she said, “Don’t be silly, I am a very good pony and am kind to y citizens, surely nothing bad will happen if I take this potion?”

“I can’t say that for sure,” he said, “I know what the future is and I can see it, but I also know that I cannot change your mind no matter what I say about you or your future and how much pain and sorrow and despair that it holds for you if you take that. And so therefore I cannot stop you from taking it if that is what you really want and wish for, but be careful, that is very dangerous.”

“You have said so before,” she said taking a ladle and dipping it into the potion, “But I can handle this, I am the queen of potion making and experimentation after all,” and with that said she took a big deep sip of the potion.

Nothing seemed to happen at first and then she said, “See? I told you that nothing bad would happen?” But then suddenly, something very bad did happen. Suddenly she lurched her body upwards let out a scream of agony and pain. “What is happening to me?” she said very angrily raising her voice to match her anger that she had, “WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?”

“Me?” Star Swirl said, “I did nothing, you on the other hoof, you have done it all, you took the potion and I tried to warn you, always remember that when you look upon this day in the future and weep for your very poor choice.”

And with that said she let out more cries of agony and pain as her bones started to snap and bend and reshape into other various random forms.

And then her body started to transform and change before their eyes.

But of course she didn’t know that until she finally looked in the mirror.

“WHAT IS IT?” she said very loudly, “HOW DO I LOOK? GIVE ME A MIRROR!”

“No, you don’t need one,” Star Swirl said, “You look very lovely.”

“Yes, you do indeed,” the king said going along with Star Swirl.

But it was no use, a mirror was taken over to her and then she let out a scream of pain and agony so loud that it could have shattered glass.

She saw that she was a monster, one that she feared and saw in her dreams and nightmares, it was the worst version of her that was possible.

She had black hair, a black mane and body, and green eyes now.

She even had holes in her hooves, but at least she still had her magic and talents, but that wouldn’t mean much now without her beauty there.

“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?” she said in anger and despair and pain.

“YOU HAVE MADE ME UGLY AND A MONSTER! AND EVEN WORSE, YOU TRIED TO LIE TO ME ABOUT HOW BAD THIS REALLY WAS! WHY?”

“Because I feared exactly this kind of reaction,” Star Swirl said.

“LOOK AT ME!” she suddenly then snapped to him, “DO I LOOK LIKE A QUEEN TO YOU? DOES THIS LOOK LIKE THE FACE OF BEAUTY?”

“No,” he said, “But at least you still have your special talents.”

“WHICH MEAN NOTHING NOW! WHY DO YOU THINK THAT ALL THE KINGS AND NOBLES AND ROYAL BLOOD LET ME EXPIREMENT WITH POTIONS AND MAGIC AND SCIENCE? IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY BEAUTY, THAT’S THE ONLY REASON WHY MY WORK COULD CONTINUE AND LIVE ON! BUT NOW YOU HAVE TAKEN AWAY THE ONLY THINGS THAT I HAVE EVER LOVED!

AND FOR THAT, YOU WILL PAY VERY DEARLY, I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES, EVEN IF I HAVE TO KILL THE KING FIRST!”

“Surely you do not mean that?” Cosmos said very nervously.

“I DO!” she said, “AND NO PONY CAN EVER STOP MY PLANS!”

And with that said she suddenly tried to attack Star Swirl but then found that she could not when he
quickly cast a spell at her to stop her.

“WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?” she said, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?”

“Preventing you from ever trying to kill any pony ever again,” he said very calmly, “I am putting a spell on you that will stop you from ever killing again.”

“NO!” she said, “YOU CANNOT DO THIS TO ME! PLEASE DON’T DO THIS!”

“I have to,” he said, “You leave me no other choice or options for me.”

And with that said Star Swirl let her go since she couldn’t harm him now.

She growled with anger and hate and wrath and fury, “DO YOU THINK THAT THIS CAN REALLY EVER STOP
ME! YOU ARE A FOOL IF YOU THINK SO!”

And with that said she took off with her wings and tried to fly off to the doors but then saw that they were
blocked and so she instead flew straight up into the ceiling breaking one of the many various random windows that was there. And with that she flew back all the way to her kingdom as an exile now.

If this seems copied and pasted from Star Swirl is because it is, literally.
