Chrysalis looked up to watch the holes form in the sky. It was amazing, it was destructive, apocalyptic, it was...beautiful! She saw creatures hanging in the sky as if they were holding on to something; and another sky beyond that. In that sky was another creature, strangely familiar, yet totally new.

This creature had features similar to the others, upright posture, to long back legs, two short front legs which were off set to it's side with little pointy bits ( five on each leg) that sort of looked like tentacles, and a flat face. What made it different was a large horn which came out of it's head like a unicorn and two large wings. It was also clear that it was this creature that was tearing holes in the sky.

Suddenly a second creature appeared in the sky like the other but this one was radiating a bright light. Chrysalis growled in hate. She knew a hero when she saw one. She cheered for the first to destroy the second. Then the second started closing the holes in the sky.

Ever since her defeat by Princess Cadence and Shinning Armor, she had struggled. Her energy was lower than it ever had been. Her changelings were dying, some had left to be on their own. There was nothing here for her but pain, humiliation, and a slow death. She decided she could not continue on like this. With the last of her strength she propelled herself up into the shattered sky and just as the last hole was about to close; she flew through and blacked out.

When she awoke, she didn't know where she was. The sounds and smells were all different. She tried to look around but realized she was in a bush and couldn't see anything. Slowly she untangled herself from the bush and stood up. It was then she realized her body had changed.

In a panic she looked over her new form as much as possible. She looked like the other creatures she had seen before, but her skin looked old, wrinkled, and worn. She looked around for any reflective surface and saw the glass doors to a building. As quickly as this new body could move; she ran over to them to see all of her.

To her horror she saw exactly what she looked like. Her hair was bone white and thin. It hung down to her shoulders, oily and stringy. Her eyes were deeply recessed and her face a mass of wrinkles and blemishes. She was thin, almost skeletal. She had on a formless black dress and flat black shoes. She didn't know much about this world, but she knew that this was bad.

She wanted to scream and smash the glass, but knew that would be a bad idea. She had to lay low until she figured out where she was and how to turn this new environment to her advantage. She also knew that she had to find shelter and food. Slowly she turned away from her new reflection and started off down the street; not knowing where she was going, only that she had to go somewhere.

Judging by how the sun hung in the sky, it was early morning. The streets were still fairly deserted. Only occasionally did she meet one of the other creatures. In some ways they reminded her of Tirek.

Eventually she made her way into town, and came upon a butcher shop. Her stomach growled in fierce agony as the aroma filled her nose. She impatiently pushed the door open as hard as she could and rushed in. Quickly she began to grab whatever she could and stuff then into her mouth. The sweet taste of meat filled her parched mouth and made her hellish heart sing. Her joy was short lived though, as the owner started cursing at her from behind the counter.

“Hey! Whadaya think you’re doin’?”

The squat, greasy, hairy man came running from his station straight at her. Chrysalis’ eyes filled with fury. If she had been in her realm, or had a better conditioned body, she would have destroyed this thing. However, given the size difference between him and herself, she was at his mercy. Maybe, just maybe, she could harness at least some of her magic to mount some sort of feasible defense.

“You...dare defy me?” Chrysalis spoke with a deep, menacing tone, making Ramone Salazar quickly stop his judgments and looked in terror as the old woman before him dramatically changed in front of his naked eyes. Her eyes became pitch black. Her skin turned rotten and pale; covered with sores and holes that went straight to the bone. The woman screamed and her mouth opened up to dimensions a human mouth never could. Where the teeth had been were now line with dangerously sharp shark-like teeth.

Salazar fell back and began to beg. "Please, please, I'll be a better servant. I promise! I . . ." he failed to finish as the jaws of the demon came crushing down around his skull.

**********************************************************************************************************************

Wiping the blood from her mouth, Chrysalis stood up, grinning at what was left of Salazar's corpse.

There was no better way to find out things than to eat someone, she thought to herself. In her head all of Salazar's memories came flooding in. Vital information about this world, it's dominate species, and personal information about Salazar. Who, it turns out, was a very naughty boy.

It seems Mr. Salazar was a member of a cult. A cult which did all sorts of nasty things. Salazar himself didn't actually believe in what the cult did, but he really enjoyed all the horrible little things they did especially to the children.

"I am terribly sorry I had to eat you. In a different time, you and I could have been friends,” She picks up his skull, “You know, exchanged torture methods and such. But I did need to feed and I know you'd understand. Literally."

"Oh Ramone~ May I call you Ramone~?" Chrysalis said in a sweet, mocking voice to the pile of bones on the floor.

She burst out in a sinister laugh, tossing his skull to the ground, instantly smashing it. She wiped a tear of laughter from her cheek and walked into Salazar's office. Her eyes scanned the room, looking for the secret safe he kept in here. Suddenly her gaze locked upon a painting of a young child. The memories she had acquired from Salazar told her this was it. She walked over and swiped it down from the wall, revealing the safe. Licking her lips she opened it up. Inside was some money she'd need and some of his ritual ornaments.

Salazar worshiped an entity called Morgarith. It wasn't clear if it was a god, a grand wizard, or a demon; only that it or he, held the key to unleashing the “Black Gods of Death”. It was an amusing mythology and Chrysalis, with her own cruel intentions, could appreciate the...seductive darkness of it. With a small grin, she reached inside the safe to touch one of the talismans that was kept inside.

As soon as she touched it; her head snapped back and her mind was filled with images of death and destruction. A growing black mass spreading through every dimension, every universe. Forever without end. Endless torture, pain, and suffering. But this was not for power or enjoyment or for some political or religious goal. This was destruction for the sake of destruction. The hideous entities she saw took no enjoyment from what they did; they just did it because.

Tears of joy ran down Chrysalis face. The vision was too beautiful, too pure. She now knew why she was here, what her destiny was; to bring this twisted vision to life. She slowly withdrew her hand and walked out the back door, a chilling grin on her face. She was drenched in blood and had to find a place to wash and some clothes to change into. Once that was said and done, her next move would be to track down the other cult members and reveal who she was; Queen Chrysalis. The one who would end their feeble rituals and bring about what they were actually supposed to do…

End everything.

Author's Notes:

Alright, as one person commented, what a way to start. Being this is my final story for here (if not forever at least for a long time) I wanted to go out with a bang. And what better way to say "we're not in Kanas anymore", then with a little cannibalism and demon worship? Don't worry too much, I still plan on keeping all the heart from the previous stories and this will remain a PG-13 story. I don't want to lose any of my fans. So hopefully you like.
