Chapter Four: The Remaking of a proper Prince.
As I flew through the air embers floating behind me in my wake as my burning wings glided on the wind, my thoughts in another world as I wondered what the consequences of branding that mare would be, just then a high pitched wail of anger sounded to my ears, stopping in mid flight and turning to see what it was I felt the full force of the Changeling Queen's magic slam into me grabbing me tightly and crushing me, Yelping in pain as I was slowly forced to the ground under the force of the Queen, upon reaching the floor I was met by the true beauty and ferocity of the Queen, never taking the time to truly see her for what she is.
Before me stood a tall mare her Ebony skin Dark but Warming much like the heart she had that she used to rule her empire, a set of large gossamer wings looking much to that of a Dragon Fly shimmered in the fury of her power, her bluish green hair flowing outward and around her as her magic crackled and scorched the ground around me her Harlequin eyes burning into my soul as she stared me down, truly a work of Beauty and a work of Power, Rage, and terror when she was angered, a work of Love, compassion and pride, when it came to her people, Looking at her for but the time I did soothed the pain I had before I felt myself Slammed into the ground forced to my knees by her fury.
"YOU THINK YOU MAY DO AS YOU WISH WITHIN THE WALLS OF MY KINGDOM!?" Chrysalis yelled her fury terrorizing the citizens and guards around her, the rage she was forcing onto the me was seen in the air as flames practically danced around us, the difference being hers were a Emerald green, and mine a mixture of Reds yellows and oranges.
"I do as I please, Chrysalis!, I am the very fault of your own actions!" I retorted smirking behind the pain I felt as she tightened her grip and crushed me more.
"You...little...RUNT!" Chrysalis yelled flinging me into the air where she quickly followed a trail of flame following her upwards from the ground, She roared upon reaching the sky her horn glowing brightly almost as bright as the sun before the light faded followed by a bolt of magic slamming into me and forcing me towards the ground, nearly reaching the ground I concentrated forming a barrier around me as to soften the impact but before I was able to raise it a massive Hoof slammed into me sending me skidding several yards as the bolt exploded around me burning the ground and creating a cloud of smoke that crackled with jade lightning as it dispersed I was left standing there surprised at the power behind the hoof, the magic had taken little affect against me it being made of flame and me as well, but as the smoke cleared I looked to see the Queen standing in front of a massive Changeling, however this was not an ordinary Changeling, the Changeling mare stood at least forty feet in the air from hoof to head her skin color varied as I realized she was stitched together using the parts of various Changelings she sported four massive wings to support her gigantic form, upon her shoulders stood two large clawed hands, one holding a massive clever, the other holding a chain with a hook on the end, this creature honestly scared me, the works most likely brought up by that alchemist of the Queens, the worm probably watching from one of the many balconies of the mighty fortress the Queen lived in.
"Embroidery...be a good girl and fetch me that boy...I've some reforming to do..." Chrysalis said as she grinned sadistically her fury still apparent as she seethed with power.
"Yes mamma!" Embroidery chided her voice echoing as she reared back the arm with the chain and hook before launching it forward, I laughed as it sailed towards me assuming it would not break the barrier I held, I was wrong so very wrong...The Hook sailed through my barrier with ease runes dancing along it glowing green as it went past me the Massive mare pulled forward slamming the hooks crane into my neck and pulling me forward with it as I was met with a massive hoof slamming me into the ground followed by another and another, It only stopped when Chrysalis felt I had suffered enough from the force, speaking merely one word the massive mare stopped her relentless onslaught and stepped back from the massive crater.
"Mmmmm...Sweet vengeance...Embroidery...be a dear and fetch his body would you?, He stands on the verge of death, but I know he will be reborn...so we must work fast..." Chrysalis spoke an air of mischief about her.
"We must reach Kazik'Dow before Sunset, Less we loose this opportunity..." Chrysalis said before walking forward towards the towering structure with Embroidery in pursuit.
I was forced to simply be carried by this massive giant of a Changeling she had shattered my bones...my back ached oh so much, but I was forced to watch as I was carried into a massive tower where a bright glowing green pool of slime awaited Embroidery setting me down next to it as Chrysalis walked over.
"It is time little drone...You have resisted me long enough, I will not have such defiance from a failed son..." Chrysalis spat the last word like Venom
I was simply forced to stare in disbelief at her words, I stared her down as she touched her horn to mine and memories flooded into my head.
*Flash!*
Look at him! barely half the size of his siblings, none of which have even hatched yet, what is wrong with this forsaken urchin!" Chrysalis yelled her eyes showing pure disgust at the young changeling in the carrier.
"Don't you mind her little one...I'll take good care of you...I'll make you big and strong!" the wet nurse said snuggling the small Changeling as she wrapped him in a blanket and began to feed him.
*Flash!*
"Come on you worthless creature! Fight for your Queen! Make her proud!" Chrysalis said as the Average sized Changeling stood next to her, his size increased greatly due to his diet and lifestyle as the Queen's new Warrior in the Arena.
"I will not fail you my Queen!" the Changeling yelled charging forth into the arena his magical blade formed around his horn and his armor covering him.
*Flash!*
"NO! This cannot be!" Chrysalis yelled staring at the now dying Changeling on the ground his eyes wide in disbelief a Equestrian spear sticking out of his chest.
"I have failed you my Queen!" The Changeling yelled as his life force was slowly failing, this the Queen would not accept she yelled stomping off down the entrance hallway fury in her eyes as the guards apprehended the Assassin, Medics rushing to the side of the dying changeling supplying him with pure love the rarest of kinds to heal him as he was carried away to the medical ward
*Flash!*
"You have failed me again..." Chrysalis said sitting on her throne, the Changeling kneeling before her eyes looking at the ground ashamed to look his Queen in the eyes.
"I am sorry my Queen!" The Changeling retorted tears streaming down his face
"I am disappointed, So much Potential...WASTED! Years of experimenting! working! and when I finally gain the son I always wanted this is what I get! a weak pathetic urchin worth nothing!" Chrysalis screamed as her horn glowed bright green.
"I Banish ye from my sight, Till you may be worth something to me..." Chrysalis yelled blasting the Changeling with a single spell it slammed into his chest entering through the Scar in his chest the Equestrian spear had made long ago, his form glowed green for but a second before he was sent out as a bolt the magic transforming him into but an Infant and sending it into the arms of one of the Many families in the Kingdom.
*Flash!*
I screamed in torment as the memories came back to me, I was once...Crown prince of the Changelings...now I am but a worthless cretin...who failed his Queen...and his mother.
"Do with me what you will...I deserve nothing less" I said blood exiting the side of my mouth as Chrysalis's magic yet again gripped me.
"Damned right I have every right to do this!" She retorted my body floating over the bright green fluid below.
as she let go of the magic holding me I fell into the massive green vat as I felt if burn away at my being melting away flesh and bone muscle and sinew burning away, my being disintegrating in a matter of seconds, my body quickly burned away with it my soul as all that was left...was a mere glowing pod...surrounding the form of a Infant changeling.
The pod floated out of the green vat and it was quickly wiped clean of the acidic goo before floating into the arms of the Queen herself.
"Finally...I may restart what I failed to do in previous times...raise a Son, proper and right...He will be a Prince...Unique and untainted by the Greed of politicians and the corruption of Fools..." Chrysalis muttered to herself nestling the Egg-pod between her wings she quickly trotted off back towards the mighty fortress of Kazir'dek and off into the heart of her Homeland to raise a child from egg to prince...She would make sure she did not screw up this time...
