> The Changeling Princess > by Hades > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changeling Hive 3 weeks before the Canterlot invasion. "ARE YOU MAD ?" "No need to shout sister, " said Chrysalis calmy "NO NEED TO SHOUT ? You are out of your mind sister , attacking Canterlot is a suicide, " said Chrysalis' sister who is a changeling the same size as her sister only difference is that she has a purple mane and eyes compared to Chrysalis green. "Miadra it isn't a suicide, you have seen the pathetic excuse of a Guard they have, they will be no threat to my changeling warriors, plus we outnumber them one to ten," said Chrysalis. "What about Celestia and Luna, how will you defeat the godesses of the sun and moon ? "said Miadra. "Once i replace Mi Amora Cadenza and start feeding on her fiancee's love , i will wait till i am powerful enough to overpower them and end their pathetic rule, " said Chrysalis. "What will happen if you get discovered before you are powerfull enough ?" "It won't come to that i will make sure about that, " "What about Cadenza ? What will you do about her ? You need to make sure she doen't interfere with your plans, " "Simple,I will kill her when i teleport her to the crystal mines under Canterlot, she can't interfere with my plans if she isn't breathing," "Well I see I can't convince you to reconsider about this " Miadra said before sighing "But do you have to take Amazia with you ? , she is too young " "She is a grown nymph sister , and a excelent inflitrator , I will need her with me since you will stay here to watch after the Hive during my leave , this conversation is over sister ,my desicion is final, now leave I need to prepare for the invasion, we leave tommorow, " said Chrysalis. Miadra sighed and left her sister to prepare. Miadra knocked on the door of her niece's room ."Coming " Miadra heard a musical voice behind the door say , unlike most changelings Amazia had a wonderful musical voice , the door opened and a brown changeling with orange mane,tail and eyes came out , if anypony would compare her height with somepony she would be the same height as Princess Luna. "Aunty ," said Amazia before hugging her aunt Miadra laughed a little before hugging her back "I am happy to see you too Amazia " "It is good to see you"she said before breaking the embrace, "So did you need anything or are you here just to visit ? "asked Amazia. "Actually i wanted to talk to you about something , may I come in ? " said Miadra "Of course ," said Amazia They entered the room and sat at a table near the window "So what did you want to tell me ?" asked Amazia Miadra sighed before she said "Your mother already told you that we will be invading Canterlot and that you will go with her " Amazia noded "I want you to promise me something Amazia " she took Amazia's hoof with her own "Promise me , that you will not kill anypony ,unless their no other choice , promise me please , it is a path i don't want you to go " "I promise aunty i won't take somepony's else life unless I have no other choice " Amazia promised her aunt who in return hugged her. "Thank you " said Miadra before ending the hug "Now why don't we go and play some chess at my room before you leave ? I want to spent as much time as I can with you before you leave , you will be gone for almost a month " "I would like that, " said Amazia before she left with aunt. > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 days later in Canterlot. "Wow I never thought Canterlot would be so beatiful ," said a disguised Amazia "Meh, too bright for my tastes ," said the mare beside her "After the dark halls of the Hive it is a nice change of senary even you can't disagree with that Butterfly, "said Amazia "Hush "Lolilpop " you know we can"t use our real names while we are disguised ," said Butterfly while looking around to make sure nopoy heard them, thankfully nopony seemed to have noticed . "Relax nopony heard us , besides Butterfly is a very common pony name," said Amazia to her friend Before Butterfly could respond Amazia cut her off " We have arrived , 3rd sunset street the two story building , where our prey lives " "Can you tell me the plan again ? i forgot, "said Butterfly "Again ? " "Hey I am a medic not an inflitrator,I have very little field experience , I am new to this sneak and replace thing .I still don't understand why you chose me to accompany you, " "Because i have more use for someone that can heal my wounds than an inflitrator if things get out of hoof, " "I guess that makes sense so can you tell me again the plan ?" "Fine , so in that house live two sisters ,Moongazer and Nightsong , they are both maids at Canterlot castle , we go in there stun them then cocoon them ,take their I.Ds so we will have easy acess to the castle , we find Princess Mi Amora Cadenza and trick her to go to the castle library where my mother will be waitting for her to take her place . Did you get it ? " "Yes i think i got it let's go ". 2 hours later near the Royal Library. "Are you sure my aunt Luna wanted to meet me at the Royal Library Moongazer ? " asked Cadance "Yes your highness she asked you to see her as soon as possible ," said Amazia disguised as Moongazer "I wonder what is it so important that see wanted to see me so soon ? " asked Cadence "We don't know your majesty , we were just asked to escort you there, " said Butterfly disguised as Nightsong "I guess we will find out soon enough we are here, " said Amazia Once they entered the Library .Cadance was stared dumbfounded at what apeared to be a perfect copy of herself "Hello Cadenza, " said the copy "Who ar......... " she didn't get to finish her sentence as she was stunned from behind by Amezia "Good job my daughter now i will teleporte me and her to the mines and .." she was cut of by three knocks at the door "Cadance honey, it is me Shining Armor i saw you enter here when i was on my way to your room . Can i come in ?" "Buck ," said Chrysalis 'think ,chrysalis , think ,' she though "Amazia teleport you and Cadenza to the mines and kill her i will distract Shining Armor, " "K-k-kill her ?" asked Amazia she had a promise to keep "Yes , go now , Butterfly get out from the back " ordered Chrysalis "Coming Shining " Amazia teleported her and Cadance to the crystal mines beneath the city "I can't kill her i promised my aunt i won't kill anypony unless neccesary , what to do ? what to do ? " she was pacing infront of the unconcious cadance until an idea came to her "I can leave her here she won't be able to escape here ,the crystal are almost impossible to break , Princess Luna survived one thousand years at the moon i think she can survive 2 weeks in the mines " and then she teleported away to where she aggred to meet Butterfly. "Did you take care of her ?" asked Butterfly when they met "Yes i took care of her don't worry, " Little did she know that she just sealed the fate of the invasion. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canterlot castle: 2 hours before the wedding Chrysalis and Amazia were waiting at Cadance's room for one of their scouts to report to them the current location of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, the capital has been on high alert ever since a changeling squad got discovered near the capital while they were scouting for guard patrols, Chrysalis made a mental note to punish them after the invasion, because of their stupidity there was now a giant shield over capital although it was a minor anoyance, since she had control of Shining Armor's mind, it was still a problem and as if that wasn't enough Shining Armor's sister came to the wedding she was getting suspicious so she had to teleport her to the mines. Three knocks were heard from the other side of the door before a royal guard entered he bowed and said "Your majesties I came to report about the current location of the royal sisters " he said then rose from his bow "Princess Celestia is at the altar dealing with last minute details, Princess Luna is at her room preparing for the wedding " he finished "You did good, now return to your post " said Chrysalis, the disguised guard bowed and then left the room "Amazia now is the time for the 3rd phase of the plan, you know what to do " said Chrysalis to her daughter "Yes mother, I won't fail you " said Amazia before leaving the room. Amazia disguised as Moongazer knocked on the door of the night princess' chamber,"Hello Moongazer, do want something ?" said Luna when she opened the door "Greetings your highness, miss Twilight Sparkle wishes to speak to you at her chambers " said Amazia "I hope it isn't again about Cadance being an imposter or something crazy like that" Luna sighed before continuing "Lead the way Moongazer " Amazia nodded and asked the princess to follow her. "She is waitting for you inside your highness " said Amazia before opening the door "Thank you " said Luna before she entered the room but there was nopony in there, she heard the door behind her closed and then locked "What is the meaning of this " she said before trying to use a spell to blow open the door but she couldn't her magic was supressed "This isn't good "she muttered to herself "Do you think the wards will be strong enough to supress her magic ?" asked Butterfly changing back to her changeling form,since Butterfly was a changeling medic she was different from the warriors, her eyes and back chitin which were blue for the warriors was red for her and her curved horn instead of pointing upwards pointed downwards "Yes they will be enough, but my mother asked us to keep and eye on her incase anypony tried to open the door from the outside" said Amazia"Come on " she said pointing at a nearby window "The show is about to start " she said before both of them walked to the window and looked outside, they saw the changelings were already breaking the shield around the city, once the shield broke the changelings started hunting down the ponies and trapping them so they will feed on them later,some time passed before Butterfly saw something "Look Amazia it is the element bearers they are are being escorted back to the altar,wait a minute is that Twilight Sparke?How did dhe escape from the mines ?" Amazia froze when she heard that, 'if Twilight escaped then that means ' she thought before she run off to warn her mother "Amazia where are you going " asked Butterfly "I need to warn my mother, you stay here and make sure nopony will help Luna " she said before she jumped off a broken window and started flying towards the altar where her mother was praying that she she will reach there in time Once she finally reached the doors of the wedding room, she opened them and saw Cadance and Shining Armor casting a spell, she tried to warn her mother, but before she could say anything Cadance an Shining finished their spell and cast it, the spell hit her,her mother and the rest of the Hive out of Canterlot. They were all thrown back to the badlands,before she could do anything she hit the ground and lost her conciosness > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changeling Hive: 1 day after the Canterlot invasion Amazia woke up feeling terrible pain all over body, she looked around to see that she was at her room back at the Hive, her room at the Hive was small compare to the rooms at Canterlot, even changeling royality didn't have many possesions, her room only had a bed, a table with some chairs and a bookself with a few books, you can't really have much when you are living at a place like the Badlands She heard her door being open, when she turned around to see who it was she was hugged by someone "Thank the Maker you are alright, I was worried sick about you when they brought you back unconcious" said her aunt, Miadra, with tears in her eyes. "Aunty, it hurts" said Amazia barely above a whisper "Oh my, I am sorry Amazia, here I brought some medicine it will help you recover faster" said Miadra while giving her niece a cup of medicine, with tears still at her eyes "Thank you " said Amazia with a shaky voice "Wha-What happened, the last thing I remember was being thrown out of Canterlot with the rest of the Hive and mother " Amazia's eyes widened and she bolted up forgetting all about the pain "MOTHER, where is she? Is she ok ? " she asked until the pain was too much and she had to lie back down " Amazia, you have to rest, you are still healing, don't worry about your mother she is fine, she may not have recovered fully but she is in no danger " Amazia visible relaxed and closed her eyes happy that her mother is alive and recovering "She wants to see you, once you are healthy enough to walk we will go and see her, ok ? " Amazia noded, too weak to do anything else, she drank the medicine her aunt gave her and then went to sleep too tired too stay awake any longer Changeling Hive: 1 day later Amazia woke up in her room again but this time she didn't feel any pain, she looked around the room and saw that her aunt was sitting at the table drinking tea, when Miadra noticed that her niece was awake put her cup down and walked over to her "How are you feeling my dear, does anything hurt ?" "No, aunty I feel good, nothing hurts anymore, thank you " answered Amazia "Good, now if you are good enough to walk, we should go see your mother, she is waiting for you at the throne room " said Miadra, Amazia noded and with a little help from her aunt, she got up and went to the throne room with her aunt Once she arrived at the throne room, she saw that her mother was angry, very angry "Amazia, come here now !!" said Chrysalis with anger Amazia walked forward until she was right infront of her mother, who was sitting on her throne "Yes, mother ? " Chrysalis got up from her throne and walked towards her daughter, once she was right infront of her she hit in the face with hoof so hard that Amazia fell down Silence went around the throne room, Amazia shakly got up and looked at her mother, tears started to drop from her eyes "Do you want to explain to me, why was Princess Cadenza still alive after i ordered you to take care of her ?" said Chrysalis with venom and hatred in her eyes "I-I-I could't kill her, she didn't anything wrong " said Amazia tears in her eyes "YOU PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A CHANGELING " roared Chrysalis "Because of your weakness we lost, because of your pathetic morals nearly half of our Hive died " said Chrysalis with venom "Mother I .... " "SILENCE, DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME MOTHER" shouted Chrysalis Amazia was speechless, her mother returned to her throne "Amazia, you are hereby banished from the Hive " "Wha-what? Mother plea.." "SILENCE, you have three hours to get ready and leave, now get out of my site I don't want to see you ever again " Amazia left the throne room crying while she kept her head low, her aunt followed her, after she threw an angry glare at her sister Once they were back at Amazia's room, Amazia hugged her aunt crying to her chest, her aunt hugged her back, also crying, and said "Shh shh, I promise will do everything I can to change your mother's mind, I promise " they sat there for half an hour crying until their tears dried out "Come on, we should get you ready " Miadra said breaking the embrace After a while of packing Miadra levitated a sphere to Amazia "What is this ?" "It is a communication sphere, it will help us keep in touch, every night at 9 i will call you using my magic, so I can make sure that you are all right " "Thank you aunty" "Come on we should be going " Once they arrived at the Hive entrace, the gates were open and the guards were waitting for her, Butterfly was there also waitting for her, once she saw Amazia she rushed to her and hugged her "Be safe" said Butterfly after she broke the embrace, tears in her eyes ,"I will " said Amazia, she then turned to her aunt hugged her one last time, once she was done she said one last goodbye and then left the Hive, once she was outside the doors of the Hive closed behind her, she took a deep breath, with tears in her, and took the first step of her new life
