This story takes place during Season 1 Episode 2.

Why did the changeling army choose to invade Canterlot during Princess Cadence and Shining Armor’s wedding?

The answer can be found in a chance meeting between Queen Chrysalis and Nightmare Moon, back at the Summer Sun Celebration …

Dark yet interesting. Nicely done!

Thank you - it suddenly crossed my mind that these two could have met, and I couldn't resist making a oneshot out of it.
Glad you enjoyed it!

“Tell me” she asked, ”Do you have the numbers to take Canterlot?”

Nigthmare Moon: "It's highly unlikely this sentence would bite me in the back in the years to come."

With mastery of numbers, highly trained fighters and the element of surprise, what could go wrong?

Maybe you should ask Nightmare Moon... She might have an answer.


Good story!
I enjoyed reading it.


By the way, in the early days the fandom had an theory Chrysalis might actually be Luna/Nighmare Moon in disguise.

Thanks for the comment and for the interesting insight into Chrysalis /NMM!
I had fun with this story imagining what happened between NMM arriving and going on to shadow Twilight and her friends - there's just enough time for something to happen and this seemed to fit perfectly.
So pleased you liked it!

This is the best reasoning I have seen for the Canterlot invasion.

The only other satisfactory reasons I have seen revolve around Chrysalis's sanity - because for how long could captured and cocooned ponies supply food ?

Thank you - there is just a small window of opportunity where this scenario could fit into canon!
I agree entirely with you that a large hive would require a large number of disappearances to supply enough food, and so many would have gone missing as to have attracted the Royal sisters before now. Equally, I've never thought of Chrissy as mad, just amoral.
Thanks for the comment!
