A/N: Here comes Chrysalis! :)
The Little Pegasus
Chapter Seven
Queen of the Changelings
The exile was terrible. They were homeless. They were colt during the nights. Their life was not as good as before.
"This is your fault."said Rainbow Dash to Paradise."If you weren't fall in love, we were still in Cloudsdale, in safe." Paradise didn't say a word she just sat on the cloud. Fluttershy began to nervous.
"Calm down, please!"
"WHAT?! HOW? FLUTTERSHY YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! THEY ARE GOING TO KILL US ANY MINUTE!"
"Shut up."said Paradise darkly.
"What did you just say?"
"Rainbow, Paradise, calm down! Everything is going to be fine!"
"No..." they weren't talking more. They were just sitting on that cloud. The days passed. But they weren't talking because they blamed each other. Paradise left them alone. She didn't want to be with she flying, two changeling appeared in front of her.
"Changelings?"wondered Paradise, when one of them was beginning to talk.
"May we help you?"
"How? Who are you?"
"We are changelings. And we are able to help you. I mean, our queen, Chrysalis can help you." grinned the changeling.
"The witch?" wondered Paradise. Why are they here
"Yes. She might give you what you want."
"No. I don't want it." she turned back in the air.
"Okay, you choosed this. But it was just a chance..."they turned back too and began to leave.
"No! I mean, okay, I go to Chrysalis."sighed Paradise. The changeings began to fly and she followed them. She didn't even think about Rainbow or Fluttershy. They were the past. They reached Chrysalis' lair. It was a huge black cloud full of little holes. Chrysalis was glad when she arrived.
"Welcome, my dear child in my lair. I am waiting for you."
"For me?"
"Yes, my dear." grinned Chrysalis. She put her hoofs on her shoulders. "The only way to get what you want is to become an earth pony yourself."
"Can you do that?"wondered Paradise.
"My dear, sweet child. That's what I do. It's what I live for."choked Chrysalis"To help unfortunate ponies like yourself...Poor souls with no one else to turn to."she went away and began to sing.
"I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
To this
And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And dear lady, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed...pathetic..."
She showed her magic mirror sphere to Paradise, where two pony stood.
"Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Chrysalis, please!"
And I help them!
Yes I do."
The ponies in the mirror were fating.
"Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Yes I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls"
"Listen to me. I give you three day. You will meet you prince and he has to kiss you. But if he won't fall in love with you, you will be mine!"Chrysalis grabbed her, and pulled Paradise to closer herself."Have we got a deal?"
"If I become earth pony, I'll never be with my sisters again."said Paradise with a shy smile.
"But you'll have your stallion, heh heh."Chrysalis laughed"Life's full of tough choices, isn't it? Heh heh. Oh, and there is one more thing. We haven't discussed the subject of payment.
"But I don't have-"
I'm not asking much, just a token really, a trifle! "said quickly the queen"What I want from you is - your voice.
"But without my voice, how can I-"
"You'll have your looks, your pretty don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha!"she countinued her song.
The stallion up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a mare who gossips is a bore!
Yet on land it's much prefered for ladies not to say a word
And after all dear, what is idle babble for?
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlecolt avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who get's a stallion
Come on you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead!
Make your choice!
I'm a very busy mare and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your voice!
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad but true
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You've got the pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll"
She gave jer a slice of paper and she turned to ber changelings.
"My little changelins, now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul"
They made the deal. Chrysalis began to tell the magic spell.
"Beluga sevruga
Come winds of the Caspian Sea
Larengix glaucitis
Et max laryngitis
La voce to me"
"Now, sing!"ordered Chrysalis. And Paradise began to sing. Her beautiful voice filled the room."Keep singing!"and the evil queen took her voice. A huge bubble appeared and cought Paradise. Inside that bubble, Paradise lost her wings. The bubble bursted and she began to fall down. Chrysalis laughed hard. Paradise was an earth pony now so she was not able to stay on that cloud lair. She fell in the air. But suddenly, Rainbow and Fluttershy caught her. And brought her down to the ground. She was not pegasus any more...
