"I will be quick and concise, the changeling kingdom is full of tyranny as you have seen, the queen keeps us in a horribly organized and chaotic regime, many of our people have accepted fate but on the other hand there are us, the Changelings tired of the tyranny Of The Queen,

tired of the oppression that was imposed on us since we were simple little eggs"

"Eggs?!" (Thought)

"We just accept our destiny, or at least that was until we got tired of everything, and decided to do something about it, we know that it is impossible to do something with the queen, she is not in our possibilities,

no one in the kingdom is capable of facing him, but an escape from the hive would be the freedom of many of our people, I was in an investigation, but they managed with me and they only gave me a minor charge for theft, luckily they did not know what I really wanted , I'm not quite sure, but he may have suffered a death sentence."

"I see,

So you guys are a bunch of Changelings looking to escape this realm and live your lives out there?"

"Yes, and today is the day, is the day that we all escape or die trying."

"...Hey, don't be negative, everything will be fine, and you'll be free."

"...hehe, this is weird but, do you want to join our fight?...you know,

Saying that to a child is a little weird, but I don't know why I feel that you are different from a normal child, even stronger than an ordinary child at least."

"Sure!, that would be great, that way I could go out too."

"Sure, we just have to wait for my accomplice to get me out of here, but for now I'll tell you the plan, it's something simple,

we will use our ability to transform and make the guards believe that we are one of them, it would be complicated if they knew that we escaped, but that is already covered, we will leave here without attracting attention, we will use decoys in the cell to give us time to leave the kingdom before they know it,

when that happens we will follow a formation that manages to steal from the changeling guard planning room."

"That was part of your espionage?"

"Correct, that will give us more credibility when we dress up as guards, do you see this green circulation? It is the one we will follow,

the red ones are the other formations that we will leave aside, we don't need them."

"I see the one on the West side, the one on the East side and the one on the South side, we will follow the North route, but I see a route that is on the way to the North."

"Yes, it is the route to the queen's room, it is more dangerous there, but it is our only route,

the one that connects to the front door."

"...it may sound crazy but...is there anything particularly useful in the queen's room?"

"Well, I suppose, the queen has a personal library where she keeps spells exclusive to Changelings, as well as a very useful one called "selformation",

It gives the changeling the ability to transform into the appearance he wants, ideal to be able to make your life from scratch as a new person and avoid suspicion at all costs, I discovered it when I infiltrated it, it's easy to get in but getting out is complicated."

"Okay, now tell me about the dominant race."

"Are you talking about ponies? Well,

They are the race that covers the most ground, they occupy seventy percent of the equestrence territory, they are passive, and in terms of attitudes they are the ideal race for a changeling who wants to live in peace and tranquility after escaping from his kingdom."

"But we'll have to use the guise of another pony, right?"

"Unfortunately yes."

"..."

"..."

"Or not."

"I think it's the best option."

"Are you insane? Do you know what that implies?"

"Yes... of course I know, that selformation spell will be very helpful, I don't think we want to pretend to be another pony, we wouldn't live in peace."

"Look, I know it's for the best but no, we won't do that, it's too dangerous."

This is getting louder

I'll put a stop to it right now, but I don't want to replace anyone, I'll go with the flow for now.

"Okay okay, okay, it was just a suggestion."

"...very well, everything is ready, let's just wait."

He explained to me the basics of the plan, it was very simple, sneak out of the dungeon and go disguised as guards to the main door,

simple, but, to be honest, that of replacing someone does not attract my attention, I know it is dangerous, but I will make sure that they are out of all this, I do not want to put them in danger, they are helping me, so I will watch my steps Soon it would be time, and I would commit the biggest stupidity of my life.

It has been 2 hours in which he explained to me basic and crude things about the exterior, he did not seem to know much since he was never in charge of going on expeditions, but he knew the basics, I took advantage of my age to tell him that he did not know anything at all , if an adult did not know what was out there except a child.

"Hey kid, We haven't been able to introduce ourselves, tell me, what's your name? My name is Greed Rain."

"Greed Rain, that's definitely not a name, at least in my home, does that mean I should have a name like that too? I can't tell you my real name." (Thought)

"Oh, my, my name is soooo..."

I don't have a name, at least here, what do I do,

I try to think of something but I can't think of anything, I don't know what is right here either.

"Hey, we've arrived... is that a kid?!."

Saved by the bell, or rather, saved by a shapeshifter, part of an anti-imperial tyranny movement.

"Wow, they took longer than I expected."

"We're sorry, We were checking the formations of the guards one last time, this is the last day, it has to be perfect."

"Right, I forgot to mention that he will join us to escape from the hive."

"...hehe, hello."

"...the kid is also a recluse?"

"Yes, the queen hit rock bottom."

"...ok, well, I'm Clear Cloud, what's your name little one?

"Oh yes, I soooo..."

"Do you want to hurry up, this is full of guards, if they last longer I don't know if Dark Arrow will be able to distract them for longer... is a child imprisoned?"

"YES YES YES YES, I am also imprisoned, we can go now, this is taking a long time."

Once is fine, twice is appreciated, but a third time will not happen, we need to do something fast, later I will worry about my name.

"Hey kid, you remember the look of the guards right?"

"They dragged me all over the hive, I saw them everywhere, I remember them perfectly."

And in particular, I managed to appreciate what seemed like someone of high rank, his armor was a different color, and he was the only one with that armor, approaching the queen's room will be easier with that appearance.

"Okay, it's time, quick, put these decoys on your beds and let's go."

I won't say anything about it, but maybe the decoys won't do any good unless the guards are blind, well never mind.

"Child, transform."

I must admit it was complicated but I managed to stay calm when I transformed, I had done it, I kept the transformation, it wasn't that complicated anymore... it was a piece of cake, because I will have had so many problems the first time, well, I guess it doesn't matter anymore .

"Alright kid, very believable, time to go."

We left the dungeon, and the plan was working perfectly, we left the room that leads to the dungeon, there were no guards around, I see what they meant by Dark Arrow's distraction, we continued to be cautious along the agreed route, no It took a long time for two other Changelings to join us,

they seemed to be Dark Arrow and another whose name I did not know, first step of the plan, distraction, successfully completed, the corridors seemed endless, we were in surveillance formation,

The guards who were guarding the corridors weren't suspicious since there should be a platoon of guards passing through this very corridor at the same time as us... so there were casualties in this plan? Well, I hope they just knocked them unconscious.

That was much easier than expected, no one suspected, but if the queen were here,

It would detect me by my magic, luckily it isn't, but it would be better to go much faster, I don't want to risk running into it and ruining everything.

"Do you see that guys? It's the main entrance, our route is outside the castle, in a blind spot we can disappear and run as fast as possible." (Whisper)

"Hears, in approximately 3 kilometers to the South East there is a peaceful pond and far from here, if the formation breaks, we will see you there." (whisper)

"I don't think it's necessary child...child?!" (whisper)

I wish you guys the best, but I usually go alone.

They only watched as I walked away with another platoon, I learned the routes perfectly,

and right after the guard platoon a guard platoon would pass through the interior of the hive, and yes, he was right, there was the high-ranking guard.

They were alone from now on, if they want they can wait for me at the pond,

but if I had a coin for risky and stupid things I did I would be the richest man in all the kingdoms, but I'm alone now, and it's up to me to get out alive.

According to my calculations they are already outside, and I am about to arrive, nobody suspects, I am just a simple guard in charge of internal surveillance, I am just that,

this reminds me of a lot of things in particular, and I have to admit that I love this kind of adrenaline rush.

We stand in one place, luck is on my side, there is no guard where we stopped.

I already understood, this is the rest room for the guards, they are located closer to the queen to further ensure the safety of the queen.

They entered one by one, when the penultimate step I went back slowly and carefully, and when the last one entered, I hid behind a wall, the last guard looked around to make sure there was no one, he knew it was there, but I'll just make him think he's gone crazy.

I closed the door, I had a free pass,

I became the high-ranking guard, it was all or nothing, I took a deep breath, I didn't think much about it and just went forward, it was the fourth floor of the hive, before we went through some huge stairs, it was difficult for me to walk, but my nerves and the courage of the moment helped me to focus on the walk and the transformation.

Being a guard of the rank that I now possessed was a symbol of respect among the other guards, I walked by and everyone greeted me with respect, it was useful to have transformed into this guy, I don't know if there are other types of guards, but this one worked perfectly .

A little walk later I arrived, it was very evident,

this room screamed from the rooftops that it was an important room.

The security of this place sucks, there are no guards guarding it.

I just needed to enter and steal the Selformation spell, it was the only thing missing, I opened the door stealthily, nothing was heard at all,

but it seemed that I had attracted the most dangerous threat of the hive, the queen followed me.

Upon entering I found the largest room in the hive, a bedroom worthy of a queen.

There was my goal, the bookstore about the spells that the Changelings do not know, it was complicated but with my wings I managed to get the book,

It was a book explaining absolutely everything about selformation, it was long, then I would read it completely and carefully, it had what I needed, curiosity invaded me a little and I took a look at it.

* [i][u]Changelings do not have the ability to generate their own appearance based on other species, they are only capable of transforming into any other species based on something that already exists, or at least that is what I thought until I managed to create a spell that gives a changeling, male or female, the ability to generate his own appearance,

an appearance that is not shared with anyone in Equestria, an appearance unique to the changeling who decides to use my spell.

-King's Changeling Crimson Flash Notes*[/u][/i]

Another Changeling King? Well, I suppose it's understandable, from Crimson's notes, I can deduce that he wanted to provide this information to the changelings, but the queen prevented him? What the hell is going on with this kingdom?

"Well well well, what do we have here?"

Those words were enough to freeze me, the plan had failed, How the hell I wouldn't recognize that voice.

"I...I'm sorry my queen, I think I've got the wrong room, my men dispersed the formation and it seems that they wanted to play a joke on me, and I was trying to find him."

She was saying stupid things, how the hell would the queen buy that, the higher ranking guards didn't have such stupid problems.

I was trying to hide the book behind me but it was useless, he saw me when I was reading it, it was useless, it's over... I thought, but maybe it wasn't so bad that he had attacked me.

"It is useless to continue lying impostor, your magic led you to your sentence, you are not a child, your magic is so strong that I could follow it from my throne."

from the throne, We are very far from the throne, no guard could detect me, how come she could?!

"It's time for her to punish you, I was generous in sending you to the dungeon, I guess now I'll have to kill you."

I get up with the magic of her, I was motionless.

I throw a direct ray to my chest, I felt that it burned me, I felt that my soul was ripped out,

I could only see how my transformation faded, my appearance was revealed, I was completely exhausted, I couldn't fight anymore, the queen just laughed as she saw me dying.

"Will I die like this?, because of a tyrant?!" (Thought)

My thoughts blinded me, I could see my life before me, I saw myself saving people again, being the hero that people needed... no, I won't die like that, I refuse to accept it, and with the little strength I had... it happened again.

"IT'S ENOUGH!"

My eyes started glowing red again, I felt like I was unconscious and conscious at the same time, I lunged at her and deflected her spell, It was long enough for my horn to unconsciously start shooting lightning almost the same as hers, she fired the lightning at me again.

Our shots connected, this was now a fight to see who had the stronger magic of the two, but in my state I wasn't sure who would win.

"I know your magic was stronger than an adult's, but at this level, it's impossible!"

"You know nothing about me, you have no idea where I come from, you have no idea what I've been through being just a 12-year-old brat, and in the short time I've been in this place they treated me deplorably, enough is enough! !,

I'm sorry I didn't free all the Changelings under your command, but for now, I need to get out of here!"

The two forces were too strong, we were at an impasse, but like any flow whose outlet is blocked... it always finds a way to escape.

Our combined magic did not resist anymore, and the easiest way to get out of the obstructed flow was the most anticipated.

A huge explosion hit the entire kingdom, the things on the ground had been saved, including the book, but the walls of the room were completely destroyed, debris everywhere, and alarms started ringing, the queen's pride or ignorance prevented her from bringing reinforcements to face a mere "child".

I had to run away, and I had to be fast, lots of guards were coming after me, the explosion was heard miles away.

"I have little strength left, I have to get out of here."

I found the book, I was about to escape, but I realized that in the rubble there was a slightly damaged and dusty saddlebag from the explosion, I grabbed it and put the book there, this gave me more mobility, but something was still missing, and conveniently I saw it in one of the corners that was not damaged by the explosion, it was a table with what appeared to be war plans, a map that was sizable, and with most of the changeling realm's troops in one location.

"Canterlot?"

An invasion of Canterlot apparently, well, whatever, this is not the time to worry about that, according to the dates we are a few months away from that, it is time to flee.

I took the map and rolled it up, I put it in the saddlebag and got out of there, I just listened to the footsteps of all the guards who came to see what had happened.

With the queen unconscious and with the wall that led to the outside destroyed, the escape was easy, I raised my wings and flew away from there, the guards who protected the exterior part entered the castle thinking that the explosion had come from the interior.

He had a spell, he had a map, he had a method of loading, he had everything he needed to start over as another species, continue to investigate, and find a way to return home.

The relegated safe abroad, the queen among the rubble, and me with one of the most guarded spells throughout the kingdom.

For me that... was a victory.
