A changeling is taken prisoner after being thrown from Canterlot. The ponies don't know much about the changeling, and viceversa... once everything comes to light, what will fate hold for the little worker?
2080815 If Nightmare Moon's stamped on the friggin' lunar surface, and Celestia was not only there, but responsible for that, why is she just an old mare's tale?
Why where the ponies unaware that the statue of Discord was Discord himself?
It's been too long. No-one bothers to learn save for scribes, and besides, the changelings that actually live outside the hives are... well, it's a society question, will pop up later. Short of it is: They tend to be educated differently, usually by the birth parents, who themselves have been living outside the hives, and so forth. They might send excess love, but news travel slowly when the success of the entire operation hinges on being undetected for as long as possible.
The authority part is... well, while there is no written law about it, changeling society is based on merit, so I guess you'll understand where I'm going with it.
Whatever complaint Shining Armor had planned was forgotten instantly as he stepped on a blob, replaced by a pained scream and frantic shaking of his stained hoof. Twilight tried using her magic to separate it, but the black substance dissipated into smoke as soon as she tried to get ahold of it. Not quite what she intended, but she would take her victories as they came.
hmm if there were changlings actually living in canterlot already wouldn't they already have known about the elements of harmony being there?
