private Exiled and Alone (1x1 with Roxy Sparx)

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Arachnia hugged Crystal. "It's great to see your doing well Little Queen."

Arachnian let the hug go and nodded "You are correct. There is usually truth to be found in plenty of myths." Arachnia thought back to Rarity's proposal. "I would love to employ my art in your business. 

Arachnia then looked at Indicus, "I have not met you before." She looks at Crystal, "Who might this stallion be to you Crystal?"

[Scarlet SoftPaws 3,581]

Crystal nuzzles Arachnia once more and smiles "Well after the..incident i was alone and starving for a century how-ever, recently, I found myself at indicus, that's his name, I found my way to his cabin in the forest and collapsed near death, and instead of letting me die or killing me, he took me in and raised me back to health. and soon after, we both fell in love with each other, so to answer your question, he is my fiance, and as for Shaded, he is now with our dear Rarity"

Rarity nods as she hugs and kisses Shaded "Excellent, I shall write up the contract next chance i get to then give it to you to read over and sign, I look forward to being business partners with you" she says but then notices a shy little changeling filly hiding behind Arachnia "you have a little filly dear?"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Arachnia smiled and hugged the both of them tightly, "Congratulations to the both of you, I will help make the dress and I will make your stallion a proper suit. We will have to meet more often now you are back." Arachnia let go of them before walking around Indicus with a sly smirk. "Crystal you got yourself one handsome stallion, you could make some mare quite jealous. Though I swear you have a thing for warriors. First Shaded and now Indicus here."

Indicus recovers his breath for a moment before speaking, "Pleasure to meet you as well Arachnia."

Arachnia looked behind her and sure enough behind her thorax was her adopted daughter. "You can come out, sweetie, these ponies won't hurt you." Arachnia looked at Rarity to answer her question. "She is my adopted daughter found her a couple years back on the streets and took her in."

[Scarlet SoftPaws 3,581]

Crystal smiles "Can I help it that the handsome ones go for me?" she asks with a giggle and hugs Indicus before she squees at the little one "Oh my Indicus, look sweetie, isn't she just the cutest little one ever?" she asks excitedly and kneels down to the filly's level "hello there sweetie, I'm Queen Chrystal Cocoon and I am a dear friend of your mother, and this handsome stallion here that your mother is eyeing up and down, is my fiance soon to be King Indicus, he's a very kind and gentle stallion, and the mare who was talking with your mother is miss Rarity Belle, and her lover over there is my personal friend and guard Shaded Walker." she says and gently pets the filly on her head "and so then, what is your name little one?"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Indicus and Arachnia both laughed at her comment, knowing Arachnia was indeed eyeing up Indicus. The filly however looked at all the ponies her mother was talking to and after getting an approving nod from her mother introduced herself, "M-my names Bountiful Dawn, miss."

[Scarlet SoftPaws 3,581]

"Such good manners too, well I would say that your name suits you and you know what, you're very lucky to have Arachnia as a mother, she's a very kind and loving mare, scary yes, but she has a heart of gold," she says and hugs the filly before standing back up and looking at Archania and pulling indicus in close to her "Mine"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Dawn brightened at the compliments, "Mommy is the best mommy I could have!"

Indicus chuckles at the back and forth between Arachnia and Crystal, finding it to be cute. Arachnia gave another coy smile. "You will let me have him at some point even if only for awhile  even if we have to share." Indicus felt himself shiver at those words. He was no match for two women going after him.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

[Scarlet SoftPaws 3,581]

"She truly is, did you know that she's as old as I am, if not older? She used to help my mummy look after me when she couldn't" she says and looks to Arachnia "that is why, despite my age, she still calls me her Little Queen" she says with a giggle before looking at Arachnia one more time "Hmm I suppose I am sharing Shaded with Rarity...but what do you think Indicu, love?"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Indicus looked at Arachnia for a moment thinking. He did not feel anything for her quite yet but felt she had the personality he could grow to like. "Sure I'll give it a chance." 

Arachnia was happy beyond words she was only half joking about wanting to share Indicus but part of her desired a companion, and it was rare to find someone that would look past her being a spider changeling. And it ment for the first time in a long time she could possibly have a clutch. "Thanks both of you for this it means a lot."

[Scarlet SoftPaws 3,581]

Crystal smiles at her "Of course darling" she says as she picks up Dawn and hugs her close "Such a cute little filly, you know you're just cute enough to be a little princess" she says with a giggle and kisses her nose gently. before placing her back down on the ground "Am I to assume that you put this all together? Dear Arachnia?"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Dawn nuzzles into Crystal's chest, and is a little disappointed when she was put back down. Arachnia nodded, "Indeed you would be correct the community selected me to be the organizer after hearing you were alive and with a partner to boot. They wanted to welcome their Queen and meet their future king and the chatter over the link points to their approval of Indicus so far. It helps he and his team and some of their on the book actions were known and made public by the princesses." Arachnia pulled Crystal near her and whispered. "When do you plan on reintegrating into the link and also bringing Indi into it as well. From how he swivels his ears towards every significant burst of emotion I imagine the imprint has started."

 

(OOC: I kinda imagine some form of change in a non-changeling when they are with a hive queen. Just how I imagine things you can toss the idea out if you want. Just letting you know of my random head cannon.) 

[Scarlet SoftPaws 3,581]

Crystal smiles and couldn't resist Dawn's pouting so she picks her up and huggles her once more, this time not placing her back down. "The imprint has indeed started, but I don't think he'd change too much from it," she says and kisses Indicus on the cheek "as for reintegrating, I would say after the Gala when the Princesses make the announcement and the knowledge that our kind are to be welcome into society again"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Dawn squees hapily and nuzzles into Crystal once more ignoring the adult talk going on around her. Arachnia nodded, "The imprint will probably enable him to link to the hive and let him sense emotion more acutely though Imprints vary individual to individual and Indicus is unique." Arachnia whispered one last bit into Crystal's ear, "I know your mate is a half demon. You don't live as long as I do without learning how a demon presence feels." 

Indicus chose to talk to Rarity while Shaded talked to some old acquaintances. "So how are you doing Rarity, besides imagining everyone wearing one of your suits or dresses?"

[Scarlet SoftPaws 3,581]

Crystal giggles and nods "Indeed he is a half demon, but he is such a gentlestallion, demon or no, you should see how gentle he is with one of the night guard's little fillies, he's like a father to her and is just so sweet and gentle, quite a cute scene to behold" she says.

Rarity smiles and laughs "Oh darling, that's only half of it, I'm just thinking of the pattern that Arachnia and I should do for Crystal's dress, I want it to be something befitting of her grace and beauty"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Arachnia smiled, "I know. You would not be with someone that was not good to you. I would love to see that, sounds like he will make quite a good parent. Strong, handsome, intelligent, and good with kids. I was right you do know how to pick them." Arachnia giggled. 

Indicus smiled and briefly blushed when he imagined Crystal in such a dress, though Indicus managed to clear his head before it decided to go even further. "I believe you two will find something that will make all mares flock to your shop in an attempt to even come close to Crystal's beauty."

 

[Scarlet SoftPaws 3,581]

Crystal nods "He's wonderful, they both are but surely you remember Shaded and how he was like before the incident" she says with a smile and sighs softly "I cannot wait for the Gala, for our kind to be able to integrate into society properly again"

Rarity nods and smiles "Honestly, no one could compare to her beauty and grace Indicus, not even the Princesses, she has that inner beauty that just radiates to her outer beauty"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Arachnia smiled, "We thought it would never happen after the invasion and then you and Indicus came along giving us another chance. Something we all are eternally grateful for, just as we owe Indicus a lot for saving your life. Know that whatever happens the changelings are behind you. As for Shaded yes I remember hm good stallion. I assume he is with miss Rarity?"

Indicus nodded, "You have a point there Rarity but that wont stop mares from trying."

[Scarlet SoftPaws 3,581]

Crystal smiles and looks to her lover then back to her dearest friend "I owe him my life, if not more. He stopped me from turning into Chrysalis a few times already" she says with a soft sigh but then smiles as she continues to snuggle the little filly and stroke her mane "Dawn is a real cutie, I bet you're going to be so over protective when it comes to her getting a boyfriend" 

Rarity nods "Oh yes, and Arachnia and I will get so much business, I'm sure she is looking forward to being able to give her little cutie a proper home"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Arachnia stuffed Dawn's mane a little earning a cute giggle. "You bet I will be over protective scaring the future boyfriend is something I look forward to getting to do. Honestly if you two have a filly I feel sorry for any boyfriend she has. Indicus might end up enjoy playing protective parent a lot."

 

A mare nudged Indicus and gave him a letter. Indicus excused himself and opened the letter.

Guild Master Indicus,

We have located Chrysalis as per your request. She's currently in a cave in the Everfree Forest. She has put herself in a stasis pod though it will keep her alive for a maximum of two weeks. The location is marked on the map and a tracking spell has been set on the location.

Happy Hunting, 

Shadow Veil

Indicus decided to tell Crystal the news after the party wanting her to enjoy the event.

[Scarlet SoftPaws 3,581]

Crystal laughs and continues to snuggle the little filly "I think he'd enjoy it maybe a little too much, although.." she says thoughtfully as she looks over to Rarity "If Rarity has a little colt, and if she and i have anything to do with it, I think our little ones would be perfect for each other" she says with a giggle then looks to her Indicus and smiles "Everything alright there sweetheart?"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Arachna smiled and nodded. "Perhapse" 

Indicus looked towards Crystal. "Just a note from the Assassins guild about your sister, we can discuss this in detail now or after the party but the news is bittersweet

[Scarlet SoftPaws 3,581]

Crystal smiles and hugs Indicus "After the party, lets not let something like that sour the mood, but come,come darling, you need to meet Arachnia and her darling little one Bountiful Dawn, also, so you know Arachnia was also like a mother to me whenever my own was too busy" she says with a smile.

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Indicus smiled. "We met not too long ago she is a possible addition to the little herd we have going." Arachnia smiled as she looked at Indicus, "Still it has been a pleasure to meet you. Once more thank you for giving me a chance as well."

[Scarlet SoftPaws 3,581]

Crystal blinks then blushes "O-oh right, I g..I guess I am just so excited, I never thought I would see my hive and our sisterhive the Spiderlings ever again, and this is just so.." she squees and dances around with Dawn, giggling and smiling.

Rarity notices and giggles "Aaaaw, now that is just precious"

[Shadow Dancer 111]

Indicus and Arachnia chuckled though Arachnia spoke "Don't worry about it Hun we all make slip ups especially during excitement." Arachnia formed a smile that spelled mischievous and looked at Indicus. "I say a group hug should make everything better She then walked up to him and Crystal arms open and hugged the both of them at the same time sandwiching Indicus between the two women. Indicus never knew his face could get so red.
