Chapter 18
Hello again sorry I've been a bit slow to posting i'm not sure where i want this story to go. It's been rough thinking of ideas please forgive me. *bows* P.s. a small spoiler is hidden in here but if you haven't seen season 6 you probably won't catch it.
The darkness spread throughout the cave the rocky edges lighting up with a rhythmic bright orange, green, red, and purple translucent glow emanating from glow cap mushrooms. A light clopping sound slowly approached the end of the cave. The little black body spoke out softly, "Mother are you here?" The voice was followed by a deep weak voice. "Come my loyal follower." She chimed softly from on top of a large rock.
The little black colt approached the small rock formation and bowed, "I've brought the colt you requested." He chimed softly bowing his head low. "Good send him in. Then leave us." She stated coldly irritated about the fact that most of her hive left her for that traitor Thorax.
The young male quickly turned and left sending in a tall black colt with a silver mane and black and whitetail entered bowing, "It's a pleasure to meet the master strategist herself queen Chrysalis." He grinned showing a row of sharpened teeth. "Why did you allow me the king of shadows to enter your glorious home… or should I call it a cave." He laughed now downgrading her. "What could such a great and powerful bug want with me?" He chuckled as she rose.
"Frankly I wouldn't have called you if I had any other choice my son." She growled, "And last I checked we had a common enemy." He scoffed and sighed, "I haven't been your son since you threw me out of the hive three years ago." He lifted his head slightly. "And if I recall correctly you told me you didn't need a half breed changeling like me littering your hive."
She sighed, looking him up and down a moment. "You look like you've been eating well." She smiled trying to change the subject. The colt growled, "I am not just gonna let you just blow this off, You were never there for me why should I even think about helping the queen of a reject hive." He scoffed pounding a hoof on the ground. "It's not like I asked for you to give birth to me and because of you I didn't even have a father I could go to! You just left me for dead." He growled getting ready to turn to leave.
Chrysalis flew to the other side of him. "Look Shadow I know we have had our differences and I don't care if you never want to see me again. But you could at least listen to what I have to say. Your father would have."
Shadow stopped in his tracks and grit his teeth. "I will not make any such promise to help you but I will hear you out in honor of my father." He growled softly turning back to her so called thrown sitting down. "Talk fast I make your peasants uneasy." He scoffed curling his tail around his hoofs. Chrysalis took her seat and started to speak about her strategy and his part in the whole thing.
Danny was panting heavily his wings quivering softly as he rose. "I-I don-don't think I-I'm a heavy flyer…" He grumbled as his ears fell back. "Ya that was kind of sad…" Stated Scootaloo who got a sour look from Sweetie belle and Applebloom. "What?! It's true…" Danny stood and sighed, "Can we just move on I'm getting tired and am hurting from walking on three hoofs." He stated softly only to get Scootaloo to smile. "Why don't you just fly around instead of walking then?" She asked. Danny sighed softly and looked down. "I-I was locked up so long I don't know how to fly with my wings very well. I mean look at this I can't keep up the pace in order to fly yet…" He mumbled causing Scootaloo to back off. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean…" Danny quickly spoke up. "It's fine I'm free now and that's all that matters." He smiled, "Now let's go next is science right so let's do that." He chirped slowly moving along.
Sweetie belle and Applebloom walked behind Danny whispering to each other. "He actually opened up a little bit back there. Didn't he?" Sweetie belle asked Applebloom who spoke up. "Ya but I don't want to prod to much, he might lock back up."
Sweetie belle sighed, "We just have to wait till he's ready and except that he may never be." She sighed softly getting a cold chill down her spine when Danny looked back at the pair. "What are you two talking about back there?"
"Um nothing just what we are gonna do next. If the space program doesn't work out." She smiled trying to be sure of herself. He smiled and chirped, "I'm positive that space is my future I've always wanted that ever since I was young."
"Really?" Asked Sweetie belle now completely intrigued. "How do you know?" Danny smiled, "I just do it's what I've alway felt inside that it's my purpose." The trio looked at him a moment then smiled, "Then let's hurry up. I think it would be the best place to go then if you feel such a strong connection to it." She chirped smiling. "If it hurts to much to walk we can help you." She smiled but the thought of them helping him made him hurt worse. "No I think that's a bad idea I don't like being a burden and you guys are helping me already." He smiled softly his wings flapping lightly as he felt himself get flustered over it. He thought back to his ex-friends. "Um after that I kinda want to go back to twilight's home…" He mumbled softly now feeling a bit depressed. His gaze dropped as he looked at his hoofs a moment when his stomach let out a rather loud rumble and the trio smiled, "You getting hungry?" Danny blushed slightly and nodded, "Ya little bit. Um what do you guys have to eat around here?"
"We can go to sugarcube corner." Stated Applebloom. "Pinkiepie works there sometimes maybe they can give us a little to eat." She started to lead the way to the middle of town. Danny smiled, "Ok I could really go for something sweet."
Sweetie belle smiled, "Then it's the best place to go because everything there is sweet. It's the best bakery in town and maybe we can meet the babies pound and pumpkin cake." She smiled when Danny tilted his head. "Babies?"
"Ya they're a couple of trouble makers but they're super cute." Smiled Sweetie belle, "You'll love them they're so innocent." Danny smiled and started trotting after the group barely keeping up, "Ok I would love to meet them." He started to pant needing to concentrate on walking now.
Twilight sighed softly and rose. "I think we shouldn't prod him to much right now. But I think I should talk to him about speaking to someone about his problems so that it doesn't just build inside him till he explodes with anger and pain."
Rarity smiled, "I agree, I think that him placing his trust in someone would be good but after hearing that I don't think it should be anyone outside of our group." Rainbow dash nodded her agreement. "But who he doesn't really seem very open to any of us except." Her voice trailed off as everyone turned towards fluttershy. Everyone's gaze made her nervous and she looked down. "I-I can't I mean isn't there anyone else? Like Applejack or Luna maybe." She mumbled but it was already unanimous. She sighed softly and mumbled, "W-we can try it I guess." She smiled slightly nervous about it. "I can try tomorrow but he might not be ready to talk…"She mumbled softly.
Twilight smiled, "Sorry for putting you in this position. But we can't have his aggression growing because he's depressed." She sighed softly her ears folding back slightly. "I think that's everything for today. So I guess we should go make sure the girls haven't hurt him more huh." She smiled slowly stepping out of her seat.
Ceastial's eyes shot open and she loomed over the crystal ball a moment with a sigh the group was still talking. "Geez how long are they going to talk about this? I'm so sick of watching this…" it muttered softly with a growing sigh.
"What are they doing?" Called a female voice from the brew. "Have they made their move yet?" She asked slowly walking over.
"No but I think they will be soon judging by their conversation I think they're almost done. They've been talking for a long time and it looks like they're about to move out."
"Can you figure out what they're planning?" She asked staring into her brew which was almost done. "No I can't hear them at all. It's like they know they're being watched or something." Stated the specter who got a less than enthusiastic look from the Red pony. "I guess I shouldn't expect anything less from my old enemy."
Ceastial just sighed, "I never understand you… You're the Queen of ghost's you can't be scared of a little shadow...can you?" "Ceastial, It goes much deeper than that you just couldn't possibly understand so please don't try you'll just hurt yourself." Ceastial crossed its claws. "I think you're underestimating me. Maybe we should fight again." It grinned only to get an angered reaction. "Know your place ghost so long as I wear this amulet there is no way for you to rise against me and my power!" She snapped then growled, "Now bow." She scoffed making a point as the amulet glowed forcing the specter to the ground.
Ceastial growled but didn't resist the power of the amulet knowing it was pointless. Gritting its teeth it spoke out. "Yes my queen I'm sorry please forgive me." The queen growled and relaxed. "Just remember your place I don't like punishing ungrateful beasts. Now get back to work tell me when they're on the move." Ceastial bowed again and turned sighing heavily as it sat down with a pout.
