Part of a series of companion fics to each of the "Fiendship is Magic" comics.

Fiendship is Magic #3 Fanfic (Sirens) : Music Wars

Fiendship is Magic #4 Fanfic (Nightmare Moon): For the Love of a Nightmare

Queen Chrysalis is so very tired... No, not physically--that is just an act she puts on for her prison guards of course (and for Twilight Sparkle soon) as part of her plan for escape. Chrysalis is tired in a much deeper way. She is done with scavenging love, with being violently defeated, with being locked away with her people for centuries at a time. And she is even done with the seemingly merciful methods of persecution and incarceration forced upon her by 'the purple one'...Twilight Sparkle...the key to Equestria's prosperity and to its utter demise. The changeling Queen has figured it out, you see! It's Twilight! Princess Twilight is the enemy! And her horrible, unstoppable, inedible friendship!

Back in Canterlot, Celestia knows things can't go on like this for the ponies or the changelings, and she does her best to bring Twilight to an understanding of the true complexity of the situation and the best way in which the young princess can help (after all, a princess who assisted with Discord's reform can certainly work any miracles of friendship.)

Still, there are those who doubt and despise the true harmony Twilight and the Magic of Friendship could bring.... It seems like the changelings are everywhere and nowhere, and even Celestia is uneasy.

"I hope you've seen why you should stay away from me. My bones are lined with pain. I'm a skeleton with thoughts fading away..."
