A few days after the the royal wedding, Shining Armour finds himself inexplicably drawn to a clearing on the outskirts of the Everfree Forest. To his surprise he finds Chrysalis within, weak and utterly helpless after being disowned and banished by her hive following her defeat in Canterlot. He knows he should bring her to Celestia, or at least put her under custody, but to his chagrin he finds himself once again under her thrall. And [un]luckily for him, she’s very hungry.
