As an clocked pony found himself in front of the castell of the changelings. seeing the others around him whiter at his presence he knew this would help get her attention of his letter he sent last month. sense then changlings have been starving sense then.....

Queen Chrysalis, observing the pools of green ichor and thousands of blue eyes in the dark and murky hive, she could only feel a bitterness as she began to ruminate over the message sent.  The letter was burned in green flame after it was recieved, it's ashes still in a pile just at the side of what could be called a throne. 

 

Her children surrounded her, this swarm of changelings ready and waiting, hungry and ready.  Perhaps the writer of the ashed paper never dealt with a hungry beast, far less thousands.  She could hear them all, and even she had to lick her fanged incisors at the prospect of feeding.  That was a truth of all changelings.

 

One of her children spoke softly, in hushed whispers.  While what was said could not be heard among this court of shape shifters, the response most certainly was ash she let out a yell that seemed to echo down the vast chambers.  "THEY WHAT?!"

 

Intruder.   That was the word going through her mind, and now the minds of her brood...

 

It wasn't long before she finally found herself at the entrance of her hive, looking at the landscape that seemed rotted, but was a flourish of bog life.  Old rotted trees laying in stagnant waters, and a horizon that barely let the sun through the peaks of mountain tops.  And before her was the intruder.

 

"Most would have the good sense to not come here uninvited...  You've come a long way to offer yourself up as a mid-day snack for my little changelings, I hope it was a pleasant journey, because it may very well the the last one you will have for quite some time." 

 

Many of her brood started to fly out, the buzzing seemed to hum to melody as the scattered all around, surrounding the cloaked figure.  It was a morsel, but not one she could readily refuse.

The cloaked pony only smiled "I did send you a letter but received no response, I never make a wrong address and as for your children maybe you should....I don't know....check there diet" the voice was deep but with an air of class like he had a title of mark or close to it.

 

Soon some of the changings surrounding him began to drop and convulse as if stricken by something that punched there guts or the like. Hearing some cry's of pain from them that was unheard off before from a changeling only added fuel to a perplexing situation.     

 

"now then, something tells me you didn't read the letter to well which will make this annoying. but let me put it this way, kill me and your chance to gain back your power back and feed them will be gone faster then you can beat them wings of yours" he said.  

 

"and your children will be better if you work with me" he said flatly.

Queen Chrysalis was almost brought to a bestial hiss when she watched her young fall.  It was sickening to see, and this uninvited 'guest' that approached made it all the worse.  After a brief moment, she straightened herself to that regal stance worthy of one who calls herself 'Queen'. 

 

A sickened grin crossed her lips.  "You came to me.  You are the one with want, the desire, so stop the facade of acting like you came here with a deal.  It's unbecoming.  Claim all you want, but you are no friend to me or mine.  You treat my children so horribly, trespass, and throw a mocking gesture in the words of an olive branch.  Such disrespect."

 

With hooves filled with conviction she stepped forward, approaching this hooded figure.  "That being said, you're going to need to show more than a bunch of promises and a threat of force.  Maybe you are powerful, I have little doubt of that.  How far do you think I will go to put you in your place?"  There was a cackling that left her, the glee of a sadist, a manipulator, a Queen.

 

"Maybe you will get through a hundred, maybe a thousand.  We are, however, without number."  Blackened carapace hoof placed itself on one of her fallen children.  The twisted horn atop her head began to glow a sickly green, and that same energy enveloped the fallen changelings, bringing them to their feed once more, seemingly to grow stronger.

 

"I'd like to say the choice is yours, but it really isn't.  The choice is mine if we even consider you anything more than a food source, OR maybe a Court Jester!  Yes, you really are funny, it's amusing to me.  Unfortunately, that amusement stopped the second you harmed one of mine."

 

Closing ranks, in a loud chorus of a single step from endless hooves all the changelings around stepped forward.  "And after all, my children are VERY protective of their brothers and sisters.  'Mommy, can I rip him to pieces?  Mommy, can I eat him now?  Mommy, why are you talking to the bad pony?'.  So.... Why should I talk to you any more?  Why should I listen to false promises from a person who clearly wants something but is going to harm my children then offer something without so much as introducing himself properly."

 

"After all, I am Royalty."

@@MDLineArt, "your right where are my manors" the hooded pony took off the hood to reveal a unicorn with a brown cote and dark mane. He had the build of an earth pony but still had the stance of sompony with enlightenment.

 

"I am Dr. Monroe and I simple want to start the party of the first world war. ever sense your attempt at the wedding aliences have been being made left and right not for trade but for the obvious fact of. you vs celstia. Being a merchant of death war makes good business........peace doesn't." he ended bitterly  

 

"What you saw was just a small sample of my arsenal, this gem" Monroe pulled out a dark green gem "is poison to anything heartless, and it can be easily reversed with this" he put the gem away in his clock pulling out a red gem "now because I like the underdog I could see your children with this gem wiping the filed as....to my knowledge.....you have no ally's. Or haven't thought about getting some like say....the vamponys?" he said moving close to the drone mother.

 

"lets say you have talks with the vamponys leader, she is young and easy to use. With the coup attempt that happened after the blood trills the place will explode soon. imagine if you will an army at your command that seeks hearts and blood, you gain control of that army. and who's to stop you......I just want darklight dead. the talks will present an excellent chance for you to strike....make it sound as if she started it, then just like that. world war and you have the backing of the vampony opposition on your side. I could care less how you win or what the treaty's will be after but the investment will be worth the cost.....or I could give these go's to sunbut if you refuse." Monroe finished

"Well, what would I do?  Oh please, what ever you do, do not hand your poison to Celestia! Please, let me grovel and beg you to reconsider!" Queen Chrysalis 'swooned', pretending in very sarcastic tones to be overwhelmed by the tactical 'brilliance' of this Doctor Monroe.  She then burst into laughter, and almost as an amplifier, thousands of tiny high-pitched chuckles started to fill the air.

 

After a moment, she stopped, and the laughter died.   "If you think that Queen Celestia had it in her to bring about poisons and buying weapons of war, clearly you haven't been paying attention.  Even if I were to believe you were capable of selling weapons to prospective buyers, you need Me a lot more than I need you.  And while you may bring poison, we have far more direct methods.  You're hardly a morsel, but if you're so sure that We can produce the war you need, maybe you should consider the want to end whatever threatens MY hive.  Like yourself, good Doctor."

 

She trotted a safe distance away from this poisonous individual, eyes narrowing.  "You haven't given me incentive.  You have NO control here.  A rank amature.  So tell me, what do I need you for if I go to these 'Vamponies', what stops me from just doing it myself.  Why.... Do I.... NEED You?"

 

There was more of the hive that arrived, and surrounded, outnumbered, the haze of wings, chitin and fang eclipsing them.

@@MDLineArt, Monroe only smiled "your right, I do need to convince you we are talking about life here" Monroe dropped one of the shards  then stomping on the crystal.

 

A purple mist began to spread around the drones...the wings began to turn to dust. making those hovering fall on those not then the coughing began. Whether the changeling queen could feel it or not was unknown to the unicorn. Those changelings that coughed hard coughed up blood, soon blood turned into vile, the horns on them began to rust and decay like skin as more bone began to show of the changelings.

 

"listen to your children, your seeing a hyperactive dose. yours truly has the only antidote the one who made it....is sleeping....so to speak....here's the deal....do what I say and I might...give you the antidote....if I'm happy with it...I have to admit I'm impressed with this so far....I'll be in touch" with that the unicorn put his hood back up and began to trot his way out.

This hissing, the screaming, it was almost deafening.  Her children, they were burning, melting, being eaten from the inside.  For the briefest of moments, panic set in the eyes of the Changeling Queen.  Her children had come under this plague, this sickness this 'Doctor' would spread among them.  A low growl left her, that predatory parasite she was escaping her lips.  First Celestia would humble her, now in this moment of licking her wounds this individual comes before her and unleashes a sickness upon her children! 

 

"ENOUGH!" Stamping her hoof upon the earth was enough to make it crack under the weight of her conviction.  "You've made your point.  But there needs to be proof such an antidote exists!  My changelings are no good to you in this condition, and I..."

 

Queen Chrysalis looked to her children, the changeling swarm that grew rotted and sickened by this infernal virus that was spread to them by this twisted healer.  Her proclamation next would prove her own convictions, but she could not express to even herself on just how painful it was to make.

 

"... I will refuse you if you do not.  It is in no one's interest for this... 'demonstration' to continue, and if you want OUR help, then you will cease this now.  If you continue, then you lose.  You need a war, you need me and my brood, or you would not be here.  You want a war, what war can happen without soldiers?  Make your decision, every moment you delay, you hinder your own aims."

 

Stepping forward, she felt it in her chest, and could watch her vision beginning to blur.  The sickness was creating boils on her carapace, her wings began to wither, her horn began to rust.

@@MDLineArt, Monrow smiled glad to be hearing what he was aiming for turning around to face the queen he said "oh im still getting what I want and now that you've come to my level" he said looking her in the eye. Seeing the effect of the poison was having on her children was impressive and now seeing how it effected her was more so.

 

The unicorn levitated an different crystal from his clock that was in a small box. Opening the small box the rapid effects seem to cease around them as the purple mist seemed to be sucked into the Chrystal and soon her self and the rest of the changelings begen to recover from the gas. There horns grew back to normal there wings slowly recovered there insides began to heal themselves up.  

 

"now then never forget this happened" he said closing the box and putting it back in his cloak. The blotches on her face began to go away soon as well.

The Queen of the Changelings stood among her brood, watching the pony with an ire in her eye that threatened to burn even the sun.  Hatred.  Hatred would keep her resolve in the coming months, years perhaps.  Still, she looked over her kingdom, those wounded in this demonstration.  War for profit, was there nothing more despicable?  Even her changelings did so as an act of sustenance, as an act of rule.  This was petty, lacking vision. 

 

She watched this doctor turn and walk away.  Oh, she would remember it alright.  She would remember him trying to make her humble, and her brood an instrument of his will.  It would not do, it would not do at all...

 

Regal Queen Chrysalis turned to walk into the hive, those large oozing chambers with the hint of sulfur on the wind.  "Alright, Doctor Monroe, you want a war, Then that is what we will bring.  On our term.  Come my children, we have time to prepare..."

 

She gave it quite a bit of time in silence, then started to laugh.  "Vamponies..."

 

"... Get Razorback here, I need a... specialist."

Darklight sigh after a long day at court, as much as she had wanted to be queen she totally forgot about one of the most boring parts of it, court. Settling disputes between batpony and vamponys were often tiring almost to a level of love hate feeling for it. As she sat at the table glad to see a fresh bowl of noddle's for her she smiled
