private A meeting with Death

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Dox saw his marefriend fall to the ground, and he ran over, shouting, "Arrow! Arrow, are you okay!?" He kneeled down and picked her up gently. "Does it hurt anywhere? Can I help with stopping the pain?" He was truly worried for her. He flew her over to a bed of moss and laid her down ever so gently.

(Flew ?)

 

"I'm ok Dox. I kinda figured something like this would happen...technically i'm a tree...and I don't think Changelings can change tree's. We could just say i'm your hostage or something." She said, nuzzling him and sitting up slightly. "I have been through much much worse than that."

[Count Paradox 3,548]

(changelings have wings, don't they?)

 

"Oh... ok then... but you do look like a changeling for the most part, but you do have leaves sticking out, like Shade said. I could make you some armor with my magic, if you would like." His jagged new changeling horn glowed bright green ready for whatever Arrow said.

(That is true)

 

Arrow shrugged. "I'm basically a green changeling with leafy wings...So if you were to give me armor it would need to cover my whole body. And my eyes...have they been changed or are they somewhat the same ?" She asked, getting to her hooves...which had holes in them...but they were still quite green.

[Count Paradox 3,548]

"Hmmm... well, why not wear your cloak? I bet it would cover nicely." He then looked at her eyes. "Well, your eyes could be hidden under the cloak, too, right?" He sat next to her. "Don't worry about a thing, well, be fine." He nuzzled her, smiling. He then got up and said, "I guess I need to practice sounding like a changeling, too."

Arrow nodded and pulled her cloak from her bag. "This better hide everything." She put on her cloak. "Why couldn't death have hidden the sword in some happy field...why the changelings palace." She muttered, glaring at Shade. then looking at her reflection in the river. The cloak seemed to do a good job of hiding how she looked but she would still need to be careful.

Chamois blinked at Arrow.  Is she okay? she wondered, slightly alarmed.  Then her head snapped up as Shade asked who was next.  "Oh...I suppose I said I'd go next..." she said.  She was sort of reluctant now, after seeing what happened.  But Paradox seemed fine.  And Chamois was a normal pony.

Nightfall noticed Chamois wanting to go next. But the only problem was that...she was still holding his hoof. And the way Arrow had fallen made him nervous for her sake. He didn't want her to try something if she didn't exactly want to try it, but it was her decision.

[Feather Gem 967]

Chamois glanced towards Arrow and Paradox one last time and then looked at Nightfall.  "Can you stand and walk now?" she asked.  I have an excuse now, Chamois thought.  At least, I think its an excuse.  "I'd like to go next, and...I'm not sure it would work when..." Chamois gestured towards their entwined hooves.

"I-"

"If you say yes, she'll leave."

"I think I can... I mean, yeah... So... If you'd like to..."

He blushed, but he didn't want her to go and get hurt or change and never come back to 'normal.' Or, at least, those were his fears.

"But, I mean, if you don't want to..."

He blushed harder, lowering his head.

Moonbeam was glad they were finally working together and making some progress. She watched Paradox and Arrow get transformed, and she watched with astonished eyes. "Once you're done with them, please disguise me as a changeling," she said to Shade politely, climbing back onto her four hooves. "I'm ready when you are."

[Lost Profile 644]

long story short.. shade nearly fainted changing moonbeam to look like a changeling, it took a lot of energy on shades part to change another pony. and keeping them changed is another story.

 

shade snapped herself back together... but was off balance "ok...... so whos next?"

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Arrow looked back at the group. "As I have said several times now...why don't we just pretend some of us are hostages...you know, we could pretend that you three" She pointed at Dox, Moonbeam and Shade "Captured the rest of us trying to stop death...or something." She said, looking at Paradox for an answer.

@,

 

"Even if we're all disguised as changelings, there's a risk they won't believe us. I think the hostage story is only going to seem less likely. But on the other hand, I'm not sure if we have much choice. I don't know if shade has the energy to change everypony." 

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

Arrow sighed and sat down on a patch of moss. *Why are all my suggestions getting turned down ?* She thought, resting her head on one hoof and twirling a few pieces of grass around the other hoof. *Whatever.* She thought, sighing and waiting for the group to be ready to leave.

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Paradox sat down next to Arrow and put his hoof on her shoulder. He smiled at her, saying, "Sugarcube, I don't think that the changelings will believe that we have prisoners, they never take prisoners." He tries to give her a reassuring smile, but it just comes across as creepy because he was a changeling.

Arrow raised an eyebrow. "I would imagine they do take hostages. It gives them something to feed off of plus if one of you were to explain that the rest of us who don't look like changelings were trying to stop death...Well, I think that would be convincing enough. But Whatever you guys think is best." She said, sounding slightly annoyed...not at Paradox, just annoyed.

@,

 

Lost Knowledge sighed and walked over to Arrow.

 

"I never said it wouldn't work, I just think it's risky. But this is a pretty risky plan already. I know from my studies that the changelings do on occasion  take hostages, and if you think you can convince them, I suppose it's worth a shot."

[Count Paradox 3,548]

Paradox thought for a moment. He tapped his chin with his hoof and looking off into the distance, as if deep in thought. Finally, he said, "Well, we could always give it a try... I mean, Shade already looks like she's going to collapse from using so much energy. Let's try your idea, Arrow."

[Lost Profile 644]

"Sigh* you know nothing about us do you?... Uhg... Can we get moving? Because this is very hard on my part... So can we please get a move on? I don't think you would want your desguises to expire while your in the hive, so come on let's get a move on, who's next?"

 

Shade was loosing lots of energy and love to keep them changed, it's not easy to change another pony, nor is it easy to keep them changed.

Arrow quietly listened to Dox and Lost until Shade spoke...and she snapped. "SHADE. What Is Your Problem ? You keep assuming that none of us know anything about anything. Stop acting like you're the only genius here and understand that we need to work as a team. Now, What is your idea ? You keep complaining that you're tired and that you cant handle changing so many of us into changelings ...Yet you keep turning down the idea's I try to come up with TO HELP YOU." She yelled. "Somepony come get me when we're ready to leave." She said, walking down a path to a small patch of moss where she lay down. A few vines grew over her and she curled up into a ball...crying.

Chamois blushed.  Oh, you do not thinkk you have a chance with me, do you? she thought.  She knew this was a bit harsh, so she obviously didn't say it out loud. 

I think he do---

No he doesn't!

But you---

No I don't.

Chamois then noticed the commotion going on.  She looked over, annoyed.  Her ears pulled back and she growled.  "I have an idea.  Lets stop being jerks and stop arguing, yeah?"

Nightfall saw Chamois growl and flattened his own ears, mostly out of fear. He crouched down, then got a little closer to her.

"I- I think we should stay out of this... I mean, you and I... I've had enough arguing... but- but I'd rather not get involved..."

He blushed, feeling small, despite his big height.

[Feather Gem 967]

Chamois turned away from the others and muttered to him; "I just wish every pony would stop arguing and...and just get a hold on things.  This is dangerous.  We can't just argue."  Chamois sighed.  "Not like I'm helping but still," she said, glancing back at the others.

[MelancholicMemory 2,025]

Moonbeam trotted around, admiring her new, changeling appearance. She walked up to a puddle of rainwater from the morning before, looking at her new form. She looked into her new face, touching it with her hole-filled hooves. Then she saw something else. She had wings! "Wow!" she exclaimed.
