Jax growled as she struggled with her restraints. The shadowy chains holding strong as she pulled on them. Though it had been nearly a month since she was captured by this darkness, she hadn’t given up hope, not even in the slightest. She glared as Nightmare laughed her vain attempts at freeing herself and pulled the chains making her grunt in pain.

“I will admit, your will seems to be unconquerable. Even I am having trouble keeping my hold on you for so long.” The nightmare stepped forward cupping Jax’s chin in her hand and forcing the girl to look her in the eyes.

“Don’t worry though, I’ll try and make our relationship as short as possible. Soon enough, your friend, Len, shall be my new body, and with her, I shall get close to my true target and cover the world in darkness.” Jax’s glare seemed to get stronger. A light dimly shining from her tattoos and weakening the chains. It quickly faded though and Nightmare simply wrote it off as a flash of her rage.

“My, my, such a feisty one. I like that about you. getting so angry about me hurting someone you practically gave the coldest of shoulders to after you met her. They’ll believe you to be the evil one. They won’t believe your crap story about being possessed and you know it.”

“Then you don’t know Len apparently. We’ve been watching her all this time but you still haven't learned a damn thing.” She growled. “I was a bit upset over being sent to another world. I was a bit bitchy to her at first, but if you hadn’t pulled this shit i would have made up for that. I’m going to destroy you, just remember that demon.”

“Ooh, I’m shaking in my metaphorical boots.” taunted Nightmare before laughing madly. “Please, stop being so funny. Seriously, you’re gonna kill us with this hilarious performance of yours.”

“Wow, this coming from the bitch who's just stalking a girl. Didn’t know you were such a perverted child loving bitch Nightmare. Staring at her in the showers, and even watching her mess around bed like that. Bet you wish it was your ass she was tying up and spanking don’t you you horny slut.” Jax grinned as she saw the shadow faints glow red.

“S-shut your damn mouth! I watch her because she is the one I need in order to get to Luna! I’m just not strong enough yet!” Jax only laughed harder as she watched Nightmare get redder.

“Oh wow, you didn’t even really deny that you wanted it! You really are just a horny little spirit to afraid to just go and get her some sweet, young ass!” Jax laughed hysterically as she watched Nightmare get more frustrated only to notice the spirit made no attempts to deny any of it.

“This, Len shall be useful to me regardless of my desires.” ‘wait did she just admit it?’ “I will reign my wrath upon these lands and with this warrior at my side I shall be unstoppable.” ‘Holy shit, she totally is!’

“Hey, when she beats you, and she will beat you, maybe you should tell her how you feel and try another route with her, if you’re not dead or destroyed.”

Nightmare looked her quizzically, before finally shaking her head and leaving Jax to herself. “It’s too damn early in the morning for this shit. I’m going to go masturbate our body now. have fun watching it.”

And what are we doing after that?” Jax questioned.

Nightmare grinned at that. “After that, we have a certain royal gryphon to go pay a visit to. Should be fun really.”

...

Blood yawned as she awoke. She wiggled her way from between Gilda and Firefly and followed the scent of food over to the balcony of Len’s room to find said human happily munching away on her breakfast.

“Hey Blood, I’ve been meaning to ask you something.” Blood took a seat as she grabbed a hay waffle and some bacon.

“Ask away, not like I got much to hide really.” Blood started to chug down a glass of orange juice.

“Can I be the father of your next changeling brood?” Blood immediately spat out her juice and fumbled with the glass before clumsily letting it fall off the edge. The sound of shattering glass and an alarmed guard screaming out, probably a rookie, soon followed. Her entire face was red when she finally looked back to Len to see the women simply eating as if nothing had just happened, obviously patiently waiting for a reply.

“I-I, what? W-what the hell is a changeling?!” Len gave her a look along the lines of ‘I know so cut the bullshit’ and Blood gulped.

“You’re hive doing well, or are you here because they’re all dead or something?” Len inquired as she sipped from her glass.

Blood glared as she calmly grabbed her knife. “How long have you known?” It was a simple question and possibly the only thing she could ask seeing that she would get no where trying to lie to the human.

“From the moment I met you Blood Wing, or would your prefer Queen Dread Wing, the changeling allegedly responsible for the genocide of the frost trolls and slayer of the dragons, Terror Claw and, this one I find kinda funny for some reason, Blood wing.” Len answered.

Blood seemed stunned by how much she knew and hesitated to attack, a hesitation Len took advantage of to discourage her. “You know I wouldn’t mind killing you if you tried to kill me, right? I mean honestly, i figured you wouldn’t like this whole situation but I refrained from letting Deathtrap jump you because I actually like you, no, I think you genuinely mean a lot to me. How much do I mean to you?” The question in and of itself hit Blood hard. Before long though, she made her decision, gently putting the knife down and looking apologetic.

“I apologize, you have grown on me greatly, and to find out the love I feel from you has been directed towards me even knowing what I am. To know that your love was directed at the true me, it does bring about a certain..well...longing for a mate.” Blood blushed deeply as she thought over her earlier question.

“My hive is very small and fragile. Those dragons required the entirety of our strength and even then, it was almost too much for us. We few that survived barely managed to do such.” She nervously gulped as her body was engulfed in green flames. In place of the thestral Len had grown accustomed to seeing, a tall, thick, black frame now sat in her place, her long, faintly glowing, illuminating mane seemed to be riddled with holes just like her hooves and legs. Her long Crooked horn Looked sharp enough to cut through steel with such ease that it would be almost as if someone wasn’t even wearing armor or had drawn a blade against her. Her eyes luminescent green eyes seemed to speak of great intelligence, compassion, pride, and even authority. As if only to add to her overall beauty, her well polished carapace gleamed on the light with only three large scars running across her chest, likely from being clawed by something big.

“If my form truly does please you, then, perhaps you would consider becoming my... Grand Duchess? Yes, we shall stick with that title for now.”

Lene nodded with a grin liking the sound of ‘Grand Duchess Len Heartworthy’ very much. “Wow, that does sound like a nice title. Though, and this is if my studies on your culture are accurate, Empress Len and Empress Dread Wing sounds so much better.” Blood’s eyes widened as she understood what Len was suggesting, before narrowing as predatory grin slowly grew on her muzzle.

“Empress Dread Wing? I do like the sound of that, and all the power that comes with such a title. The other hives would have to bow to me then. It would seem my bride to be is just as ambitious as I am, if not more so.” Len only grinned as she finished her breakfast and swayed into the room.

“And possibly more lustful than you as well my dear. Now then, I’m going to go take a shower. Care to show me how a changeling queen plays with her mate in water?” A blush and the quick scramble of hooves was all she got in reply. Gilda and Firefly, who had heard the entire conversation having been awaken when Blood got out of the bed, were quick to get the door.

“Sweet mercy of Ashvatha, why didn’t I get stabbed by some strange creature from another world sooner? My body hasn’t felt this good in years!” Firefly nodded vigorously as she bit her lip watching her new found leader walk through the door followed quickly by Blood in her true form, herself, and Gilda.

...

“Your highness, you have a strange visitor here to speak with you. She claims to be able to help us in our war with Equestria.” announced a gryphon guard. With simple nod from the large warrior gryphon king, the doors opened to reveal a certain human shrouded by her dark purple cloak. Amethyst spikes jutted from her shoulders and from the back of her hand curving forward. She grinned as she saw her desired prize.

“Speak creature, and if I don’t like your words I shall have our head.” boomed the gryphon king. His hard, deep voice seeming carry on far beyond the throne room.

“My name is Nightmare Siren, and I,” she lifted a hand and suddenly her tattoos glowed before every guard near her was suddenly impaled by spears made entirely of shadows with dark sphere forming around the gryphon king as he was lifted into the air, “am your new queen.” With that, she clenched her fist and the sphere suddenly began to shrink with the king still inside. His screams were like music to her ears, as well as the sound of his crunching bones as she made the sphere the size of a large hoofball. She tossed the sphere out the window and let it spray its contents on the crowd of angry gryphon citizens outside the castle, many of which quickly recognized scent of blood and pieces of crushed royal attire that fell with it. Many either screamed or emptied their stomachs, but the most common thing among them was but one thing, the cries of “The king is dead!”
