Nyx walked through the the desolated hallways of the castle, occasionally exclaiming oh's and ah's as she observed it's magnificent architecture. Despite it being deserted for over a millennium and heavily damaged due the lack of maintenance, the castle still had traces of its former glory.

I can see where Spell Nexus got his inspiration from when designing my castle, and I don't blame him, this castle is amazing! I hope Luna decides to reside in mine. It would be a shame to destroy it, even if it was build for me.

Further in the hallway, a crack was present in the floor. Anypony with some attention would spot it but Nyx, deep in thought, didn't notice the anomaly.

Maybe princess Luna can show me ho-...

Nyx couldn't finish that thought. As soon as she approached the crack the ground beneath her disappeared, leaving her to the mercy of a gaping, pitch black hole. Surprised by the sudden lack of a vast amount of material under her hoofs, Nyx could only scream while tumbling in the dark face first.

So this is it? I, the last of the once so mighty changelings, sit here trapped in a dungeon, the only escape a gap to small for me to fit. If only I hadn't been so blind, if I had only seen that there were other ways to save my children. But no, driven by my own hunger and desperation I abandoned the things that make a queen a Queen and paved the way that lead to death of the ones I loved and to the extinction of my kind. And this is my punishment, a slow death in a dark, cold dungeon. A prison, build by the ones I wanted to conquer, will become my final resting place.

A small snicker left Chrysalis. Oh, the irony. Tired and empty Chrysalis laid down on the cold stone. She let a single tear roll down her cheek and after closing her eyes, she let the darkness creep into her mind and soul.

But just before she fell asleep, just before she let her grasp on the world of the living go, a scream echoed through the room.

"What in Mother's name..."

After being tossed around in what seemed like some kind of slide, Nyx fell down on the ground screaming. Unfortunate for her it was her head that made first contact with the ground.

Damn my head hurts. Who in the name of Celestia would build something like that in the middle of a hallway?

Nyx shook her head and tried to open her eyes. After she saw straight again, she was met by two big glowing eyes and a pair of very sharp looking fangs . This sight was too much for Nyx as she fainted straight away.

Eyes locked on the pony that laid before her, Chrysalis stood frozen while trying to process what just happened. Not sure what to do, she thought to it was best to check for any sights of life of the creature. While examining the thing, she could tell that the thing was a she, but what shocked Chrysalis was that the thing in front of her seemed to be an alicorn, probably a foal by the look of her size.

Who is this filly? I never heard of a fourth alicorn when I was in Canterlot. And why does she have that kind of eyes? I have never seen a pony with such eyes other than the batponies from the Lunar Guard and us. Could it be that Luna and Celestia...

Oh my...

Dear Princess Celestia

You must send Twilight back home! Nyx should have been home for about 2 hours but she still isn't! I wanted to go out and search her but a fallen tree is blocking the entrance of the library! I'm afraid that something happened to her.

Please hurry!

Spike

Nyx slowly opened her eyes. "What in Celestia's name happened?"

Chrysalis snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the alicorn in front of her. "You hit your head pretty hard when you felt down in here"

Nyx, still a little dazed by the fall, didn't notice that she was talking to somepony else. "I know that. I mean I want to know why I fainted. The last thing I remembered were those enormous ... glowing ... ey... es..."

Chrysalis frowned. "My eyes aren't that big."

"Aaaah, please don't eat me!"

Chrysalis covered her ears, "I won't eat you! Please, can you stop screaming now?"

Nyx didn't hear this and continued her cacophony of high pitch screams until Chrysalis lost it.

"FOR THE LOVE OF FAUST, CAN YOU PLEASE SHUT UP!?"

In a split second the room fell silent.

"Thank you", Chrysalis said with a invisible smile. I still have it, she thought while giving herself a metaphorical pat on the shoulder.  "Now that you stopped screaming, may I ask you why you would think that I was about to eat you?"

Nyx calmed herself before answering. "Euh... For starters, you have those really big fangs. And you're a changeling."

Chrysalis frowned, "Who told you that changelings eat ponies?"

"My mom told me that", Nyx said.

"Well, tell your mother that she's wrong. I even bet that she has never seen a changeling before."

"You're wrong! My mom has seen hundreds of changelings during the Canterlot invasion a year ago."

Chrysalis started to get angry. How dare that princess spread such lies, "May I ask you who your mom is?"

Nyx hesitated, "Princess ... Twilight". Quickly she covered her face with her hooves, afraid that the changeling would lash out.

When the expected punch didn't happen, she lowered her hoofs. What she saw would have been incredible hilarious if it wasn't for the situation she was in. The changeling in front of her wore a face of utter shock and confusion and and a stream saliva was leaking from the corner of her mouth.

Nyx frowned. "Hellooo, Equestria to big, scary changeling. Do you hear me?"

This pulled Chrysalis back to reality. "Do you mean Twilight as in Twilight Sparkle? That mare is a princess now?"

Now it was Nyx' time to look confused. "You didn't know that? She has been princess for three months!"

Chrysalis couldn't believe what she heard. "Don't mess with me, little one! I may be a changeling but I know a lot about the Equestrian laws, also that a unicorn can't become a princess."

Nyx smirked, "Have you been living under a rock the last 3 months? My mom isn't an unicorn anymore, she turned into an alicorn three months ago. Who're you anyways?"

"Chrysalis, former queen of the changelings and probably the most confused creature on this planet right now, nice to meet you."
