Sky Drop had a letter to deliver tonight, just one. After they could go sky surfing, but there was a problem. They couldn't read the hoof scribbles. This was why if you didn't have neat hoofwriting your letter was returned, but Sky felt bad. What if this was, like, important? The bat pony had no problem navigating the clouds at night. What had them was the unrelenting cold. There was a caslte town below. Maybe a place the bat pony could find warmth, but isntead it was ... really.. "Dude." They landed with a clip clop: hooves covered in fashionable spats. Where in Equestria were they? "......I don't think I'm in Equestria anymore. Bruh... rad castle." They looked to the letter and stared at it. Maybe they lived in there? Stuffing the letter back in their messenger bag Sky would trot along, hopeful~!
Queen Chrysalis was sitting in the Throne Room in her normal form.. She was doing the first tour of the hive today.. Hoping to put ponies minds at ease about changelings.. but knowing it may not happen so a forget spell was ready incase of a issue to keep the hive hush if somepony took them badly.. this was a huge risk for herself and her hive.. but with the peace treaty in talks with Luna.. she felt she needed to do something.. As ponies started to arrive in the throne room the long holey leged Queen smiled to them.. fangs showing but there was little she was able to do about that... " Welcome to Olympia. Home to Princess Holly Snow, the Snow Ponies, and the Mother Hive of the Changelings.. We are learning new ways to live in peace with Ponies.. There is also talks with Luna about the changelings and the what is in store for the hives of my kingdom.." she stands in front of the throne..
Baokros Ran, the foal ran as fast as he could, behind him the apparitions, the riders, ready to kidnap the little tike, until finally he comes across a snowy mountain, atop its peak a tower, a form of sanctuary. He throtles on, thinking sanctuary, until he reaches the door, finding himself unable to open it, looking back expecting the riders, yet they were not there. Instead a figure of a red colored wolf, with a menacing look as the beast approached him, launging towards the foal in an attack, all he could do was close his eyes until finally...he opens his eyes and wakes up, it was all a dream, and it seemed he had been sleep walking apparently, or in other words sleep teleporting. He found himself amongst a strange humid musky looking place, the voices around him, the foal could not understand, strange buzzing sounds and insect like noises coming from all corners. "Wuhh? Where am I?" the little foal asked amist deaf ears.
Shadling was lazing about which was unusual for him. He always pride his self in working hard or securing the defenses of the hive or staying close to the queen. The changeling was clad in crimson armor unlike the other changelings and his eyes burned with a crimson eerie light. His tail swayed back as he jumped up a little annoyed. He looked around and noticed the Queen was near by...giving a tour it seemed, but he didn't care...nor did he care for those ponies that accompanied her. Ponies...they all were useless...there had to be a better way for one to get the emotions with out having to rely on such weak simple minded creatures. Even though...he is self wasn't all that brilliant compared to most in the lab...that why he was not a lab changeling...he prefered battle any ways...and it was too plain down in that hole. But he had to go down to check on something...he had a plan to get rid of ponies emotions, but first...he needed to check on his creation. Shadling made his way down to the lower chambers and passed the ways he entered a long corridor in the hive that opened up to a room that was making bubbling noises and all that like as beacon and beakers filled the room and strange liquids were in there as well, "...mmm...no...he's not here it seems..." He sighed...where did Jester go...? He hasn't seen him in the hive for awhile and it was worrysome.
Sky Drop marched their way to the foyer of the castle. This palce was so -- bright. Even at nigth the white marble floors gave the bat pony a bit of a headache. Though with their bleached-blonde bangs covering their eyes it was a wonder they could even see at all. Light, purple fur coated the threstral. They were small, as most were, but rather skinny, lanky. Their trots were far from silent as the spats echoed with every tap. The palce felt empty. "...Bruh. Spooky." Said the nocturnal predator. Or they would be, were they not vegan. Strange fellow, always. "...hello?" They called hesitatnly as the echoes caused their large ears to fold back. Gah, that was pretty painful. "...anypony home?" They called mroe softly. Oh geez. One letter. Jsut one tonight. They trotted on.
Queen Chrysalis stopped talking as the single pony who was there left.. The memory spell was casted and as they left the door they forgot all about seeing the Queen in the Throne room.. she sighs " We it seems everypony wants the hive to be evil.. " she said to herself as she shakes her head.. Then she heard a voice saying hello.. Well no pony was there to talk to so she took her leave of the throne room and went to find the voice in question.. Her wings buzzed as she hovered above the ground zig zaging along before finding said voice owher.. Oh a bat pony this is a first for the Queen she lays softly " Hello " she said with a soft hiss her teeth getting in the way " Welcome to Olympia. Home of Princess Holly Snow and the Snow ponies.. And also the Mother Hive to the Changeling Race.. I am Queen Chrysalis " she states as she stands and waits for a respond from the pony in front of her..
Baokros Looked around, his vision blurry, his stomach rumbling, somewhat feeling the urge to throw up, but he was so scared that he litterary couldn't due to the fact that if he does so, whatever was hissing at him will probably harm the little foal. Little does he know that the hissing that sounded through the hive was nothing more than a form of snooring. Yet clueless, the foal began to compose himself, Leaning against a sort of rock formation, little did he know this was a Pupila, until some balance is back to his little legs. While doing such, his vision began to clear, he was in a dark yet fluorescent green strange looking cave. Wet, yet at the same time cold. How he landed in here, he analyzed. Must have been sleep casting again...that strange dream ounce more. He thought as he looked down then to the stone that he was leaning on, to the foal's horror as he noticed the shell of the Changeling's Pupila state.
Shadling looked around a bit more as he appraoched a beacon, before stopping and growling. Darn it...why can't the other gaurds handle that...he sighed the prescence that he felt came to close...how...? How did a guard not stop him? Idiots...all of them are idiots...! That has to be it...other than Queen and a few of her servants every changling in this hive were idiots...oh and Jester where ever he was even if he was nicknamed Jester...he was one of the most reliable out of the bunch even with his chaotic tendecies. Shadling sighed and went out the door as he sensed the intruder at the egg chamber...w-wait...what!?! Okay that does it...where are the guards!?! He moved swiftly making his way down the hall to the chamber as no guard or changling to be seen. It irritated him. He then came to the egg chamber which was close by and peered in it as he noticed a blue little foal...? What...? A foal, "...You're kidding me..." Shadling sighed, "...did you get seperated from the Queen's tour group...? You shouldn't be in here...allow me to guide you back to the castle..." He told him, but it was more seething then anything as his eyes looked murderious and even if his words seemed kind his expressions didn't look it one bit. He narrowed his red glowing eyes to him, "Well...little foal...?"
Sky Drop's sensetive ears perked up. They did not seem alerted, concerned, just confused. The large interior created too many echoes for the sharp hearing of a bat pont. The flutter of wings caused him to instictively spread their own. They flattened their ears when teh sound became increasingly --- killer. "Dudge...." One could swear their brows wre furrowed, but that mess of mane made it indiscernable. No eyes to spot emotion, but the fellow was a flittering beacon of positivity. Parting their muzzle, a smile broke open, displaying their gnarly fangs. "Dude.... you havea killer sound." Cocking thier head the small, but lanky, threstral laughed. "Oh!" Tucking their wings they would raise their hind leg to lift the mesenger bag. On the latch ws the symbole for the mail ponies. "I got a letter to this address....." They paused for a long time before exhaling. Oh Luna was the bat okay? They seemed strangely -- not all there. Smirking they held up the letter. "For... a Mistah S." Sky Drop couldn't read the hoofwriting. But it was somepony. "....or maybe a miss S?" They turned the letter to face the Queen. "You got some gnarly wings bruh... how fast can you dive?" They got distracted.
Queen Chrysalis tilted her head at the way the pony was talking.. but the fangs made her smile a bit.. " My Sound? Off my wings.. All changelings buzz as I do.. Its a bit of a trade mark for my kind.. " she takes a look at the letter " Well there is a Smoke Flare here in the Hive under the castle.. He is donating Emotion today.. " she looks at the bat pony as he talks about Diving " I myself try not to do that.. I am larger then my subjects.. But the Changelings in the Hive seem to get speed when they do it.. However not as fast as a Rainboom.. Dash is the fastest when it comes to dives " she states
Baokros His ears dropped, that...Larva looked almost similiar to a giant Harrisi egg, he saw in that taxonomy picture book and if the little foal is unfortunate to land himself into a giant Harrisi nest, then is all over. He heard about those eight legged spiders and their spidery acts...truth is Harrisi have gone extinct since even before Equestria, as the cold weather beyond the Crystal Mountains is too cold to support their own hives, yet the little foal was ignorant on this fact. He eyed the Larva and gulped, before hearing a voice. "Who?" He turned to see a strange pony unlike any he has seen before, angry and malevolent looking. His ears laid flat, yet this was not a spider monster, so at least that was a relief. "Uhhh....Queen...?" He asked before he notices the situation he was in. "Yes...Queen." He smiled. "I uhhh...got lost. Can you show me the way back?"
Sky Drop grinned. "Whoa," Hearing about it left them pretty impressed. The insects can dive too? They'd have to ask them to go party some time. "Well...." They paused. "Oh, nah the sound your wings make are pretty stella too, but the sound of your aura." Sky was weird sometiems. It was not that they actually could see aura, or hear them, but listening to the way the female moved, breathed even how they spoke gave the out-of-the-world bat pony a measure of understanding to how she was, what she was, and who she was. "Pretty rad." There was that long pause as if they had lost their words. Sometiems there could be suspect Sky was a little higher than a grounded bat pony should be. ".....letter!" They remember with a smile. Compared to the queen the bat was pretty tiny. They had lighter fur than others, and were a bit skinnier as if they didn't eat as much as they should, or at least what they required.
Queen Chrysalis nods softly " Here lets go into the hive and find Smoke and see if he knows the pony it is from.. " she turns to lead the bat pony into the hive.. as she walks so connects to the hive mind " Shadeling... I think Smoke has a letter.. meet me and the mail pony in the Emotion give chamber as Smoke " she leads along " So what type of pony are you.. I have never seen you species before.. "
Shadling sighed slightly as his wings buzzed a bit and he closed his eyes hearing his queen speak to him. A letter...for him...? But who would send Smoke Flare a letter...and to here...his residence is in Everfree. He sighed and then went off to the Emotion give chamber. As he approached their was a flash of green light and changes began to happen to his body. He grew grey fur and his hooves grew thicker and a polish black as his mane grew out to a black that matched his hooves. His eyes morphed into a smokey grey hue as his ears grew more floppier and his wings merged into his body. His tail became a short stuby black knob that was tied off. The last thing appearing was his cutie mark a camp fire with three smoke rings shooting off of it. He then entered the chamber and climbed apon the bed as he waited.
Sky Drop was able to flick their ears back forward now that the queen was clsoer and the loud speaking wasn't necessary. grinning as they padded along, the spats made audible clip clop noises. "Ah..... bat pony." They finalyl answered after a long silence. "Sometiems we're called threstrals, or nuisances..." They chuckled, tail flickering, the glimmer of their ebony bracelet at the base showing itself off. "So, like, if it doesn't harsh your vibe... what are you?" Though they should know what a CHngeling was, Sky was quite ltierally raised in the woods. They haven't seem much of the world yet, which was why being a mailpony was great!
Queen Chrysalis walks along and nods as she hears him talk " Bat Ponies.. I have heard talk they work for Luna.. " she giggles " No Harshing done.. I am a changeling.. My kind can talk the form of anytime we wish.. " she trots into the hive and there on the bed was Smoke " Here we are this is Smoke.. Show him the letter and see if he can read it for you.. " she takes a seat near by leting the two talk
Shadling ears perked as her heard approaching hoof steps. He sat up and bowed slightly; inclineing his head to the queen and the bat pony. Her looked confused as he saw a letter, "...A letter? For me?" He asked in a relaxed tone. He kept his eyes on the bat pony as he was truely cautious about all ponies in gerneral...bat or non mail pony or not....they were all a threat he had the scars as a reminder, but he played nice...cause his queen asked him to so he shall...for now.
Sky Drop tilted their head as the larger female spoke. Thier ears swiveld to catch all the sounds made as they walked. They made the most noise given thier spats made such a racket! "Dude...like-- shifting your shape?" That would be the msot amazing superpower! How many dives you could make with different sizes!! "....radical." Overly impressed bat pony. Turning their bang covered face toward the dude resting. "Eeyy." They stood giving a little salute with thier hoof, wing holding out hte letter. "Mailpony at your service!" They smiled wide, fangs showing off. "Gotta say that is a killer name, hard to read on the letter though." Everyhting aobut Sky screamed peace, mellow .....
Queen Chrysalis looks between the two. " As bad as I do not want to. I need to retire for the night.. Check on the eggs and get some rest.. " she nods to the two and waits for them to respond allowing her to leave
Shadling nods as he takes the letter, "...I see thank you." He said as he scan the letter and the with his horn he used it like a letter opener and sliced it open, before pulling it out with his magic to scan it. Oh! Seems like Fluttershy sent it...mmm oh what this...? She is sick...and...Discord is staying with her...? He smiled, "Thank you for this letter...it seems Fluttershy is ill and she said Discord was watching over her and wanted me to know...we were suppose to head to a fair later, but if she sick I guess it got to be post poned." He then turned to the Queen and nodded, "...Very well. You're highness...thank you for allowing me to come here...sleep well."
Sky Drop was quite proud to have deleivered the one letter they had today. This was a pretty far trip.... "Wha... ya friend's sick?" That was pretty bad. A lot of ponies were getting sick huh? Good thing they were too stupid to catch a cold! At least taht was waht they told them... That didn't get the bat down! "Hope they get better..." Long pause between breathing made one wonder if --- Sky was even alive. "...a queen!?" Her? She was -- that was gnarly! He talked to a queen?! "......should I have asked for her autograph?"
Shadling let out a yawn slightly as the Queen left, "...Oh yes. Now...I must make preperations for sending a reply as soon as possible. So if you excuse me...I am sorry, but I must go for now...and get my rest as well.[passing out] He then rose as two guards came about time some guard changelings showed up as they were clad in blue armor and the would escort Sky around. Smoke Flare then left out the room shortly after leaving the room he vanished into a green fire and was gone.
Sky Drop found this place, pretty wicked, but not everypony was nocturnal like them! "Later dude!" A queen huh? Pretty rad. But now that they were off duty they could go diving. Maybe invite the lil change-dudes to go one day! Off Sky went to have fun for the rest of the night!
