Rulers of the Night: Chapter Nine
Wow….these chapters are coming up fast now. It must have something to do with me staying up late on a school night to write for you lovely people. :P :P Hope you enjoy! :D :D
Princess Luna started blankly at the evil looking mare, not recalling who she was, however her appearance kept making her think she knew her from somewhere. She couldn't place her hoof on it; however she just knew she had heard about this mare before.
Leans Flair was equally puzzled, however she also seemed familiar and then he finally knew who she was!
It clicked the moment that the guard ponies transformed into smaller versions of the mare in front of them. They had dark bluish and green eyes, holes in their bodies, they almost looked bug like and this was all so familiar to him.
He really looked at her and the guards once more and knew their look from the description in the daily paper back where he lived. He read about a certain Queen Chrysalis whom had tried to take over Canterlot and have her army of changelings attack by feeding off the love of other ponies. It seemed so strange to him, however it didn't deny the fact that they were dangerous, especially their leader.
He glanced at Luna, trying to mouth works to her but Luna kept a puzzled stare at Chrysalis. She was not giving up on remembering who she was. She was now determined to figure it out. Her life pretty much depended on her trying to recall knowledge of her enemy before her.
"My dear princess Luna, I must say I admire your previous evil skills that you had acquired from years of jealous rage and ungratefulness. I must say I don't see a lot of that nowadays and it hurts to think there are not as many talented and skillful villains these days. I always wondered why you changed back to good. You were so close to victory and yet, you let such useless things ruin your victorious arrangement.
"Ponies thought I was defeated by something as ridiculous as the power of love, however that is just not so, for I cannot be defeated by something as incompetent as that. It takes more than that to get rid of me," Queen Chrysalis ranted on.
Princess Luna then realized just who this was. She had heard Celestia tell her about the little adventure that had happened as she slept through the day and a small war of ponies and changelings happened. She was surprised that she had slept through all of that but now that she was forced to be in the presence of that villain, she wished she knew more about her. She did however know how powerful she was. She even took down her sister and the Elements of Harmony, and by the sounds of it, not even Shining Armor and Cadence's love took her fully down.
She had a bad feeling about this.
"Now that you have given up on being evil, I'll just have to convince you of it…of course…maybe it'll convince you more if you have your life on the line…or even your little special somepony," Chrysalis said with a sneer, directly her eyes at Leans Flair.
Princess Luna gulped but stared her down, being used to hiding how she was really feeling. She also was in anger for her even thinking of threatening Leans Flair.
"You can't harm me or Leans Flair, I am more powerful than you are and can defeat you.," Luna said, convincingly but not convincingly enough for Queen Chrysalis to believe it or buy into the bait.
"You can't trick me my dear, I am much smarter than you and I have the upper advantage on you. I have your little stallion friend in a tricky situation for him, you in chains, and I have all the strength from your love. You have no power as of now," Chrysalis said with an evil chuckle.
"What…what do you mean?" Princess Luna asked ignorantly.
Queen Chrysalis rolled her eyes.
"Why are you playing dumb?" She asked. However realization struck her. "Oh…you really don't know? Ha! That is so rich. I love the ignorant love. They taste so good. Young, ignorant, and innocent love is the best. It's sweet but has a little kick to it." She licked her lips and chuckled more.
Luna still didn't understand.
Queen Chrysalis started speaking again.
"You are in love with this stallion if you haven't noticed. You do everything you can for him, you think about him, not to mention he loves you as well. It should make me sick; however it is what keeps me and my subjects strong so I tolerate it."
Leans Flair and Luna were now blushing like crazy and hiding their faces. Luna spoke up first.
"Leans Flair…you love me?" Princess Luna asked.
"Umm…yes…you love me?" He asked back.
Luna nodded bashfully. Leans Flair and Luna locked eyes and smiled at each other, not caring that they were in a life or death situation anymore, only caring about one another.
Chrysalis just snickered and rolled her eyes. They didn't even know that they were feeding her more as they became more and more in bliss of each other. Chrysalis wasn't going to be the one to ruin their moment, so she just fed as they kept themselves in their trance.
Okay so…more cliffies I know…you still love me right? Well I hope so. I'm tired so catch me a break. :P Love yas people and have a good night/day. :D (Next chapter to come soon.)
