Queen Chrysalis just wants to feed her family. Okay, so a few ponies are enslaved, no biggie, and what's a city or two burned to the ground? More than that, though, she wants a mate. Maybe treating Shining Armor like her personal slave wasn't the best idea to form a lasting relationship, but when you're the centrepiece of a hivemind it's not like you know too many other ways to go about it. However, fate can can deliver good fortune in all manners of guises, and when it knocks on her door with three candidates (whether they want to be or not), surely one of them must be the perfect stallion for her... right?
