Queen of the Changelings,
A title I have held for so many years.
But I have not held it forever. I was not always a queen, but a duchess when I was younger. That, though, was before I changed.
Being an alicorn provides some benefits, such as automatically being in the nobility class. My coat was a light grey, while my mane and tail were of a light cerulean hue. I remember the court under the two princesses was primarily filled with alicorns, even though they were scarce back then. Sure, there were other ponies with only a horn or wings. Those ponies only held a small portion of the court; about six out of the fifty were not alicorns. My early life is not very important, due to it being very boring. It was the life of a normal alicorn, spend your day in the court, and then relax the rest of the day. Occasionally, Princess Celestia asked to see me, she seemed to like me more than the other nobles. I grew attached to her, but more to her sister. I preferred Luna to Celestia, primarily because Luna liked to slack off and have fun, while Celestia always worked instead of relaxing. Even though she was a princess, and I was a noble, Luna and I spent a fair amount of time together.
I guess my time spent with her paid off. During the Grand Galloping Gala one year, I met another alicorn. I had seen him in the court a few times, but never up close and in person. He approached Luna and I, to give the princess a message. I remember clearly that Luna looked at us both, and excused herself. I really hated her at that moment, but retrospectively thinking, I was happy I could spend time with the stallion alone. His name was Sessile, and he had a tan coat with a cactus green mane and tail. He was slightly shy in nature, and I adored him for that. We spent more and more time together, but I did not forget about the princesses. He was quite surprised when I told him how close I was to Luna and Celestia.
I'm not sure if Celestia wanted to separate us, or wanted us to get closer; but one day, I received a note from Luna. She seemed saddened when she gave me the scroll. As I read it, I felt both excited for what was to come, and sad for leaving.
Dear Chrysalis,
Due to a recent annexation of a land south of Canterlot into Equestria, I am in need of someone to rule them. I feel you are the best pony for the job. If you accept this offer, meet me in my study room. If you decline, inform the messenger to report back to me.
Always your friend, Princess Celestia.
