1 Year Later...
6:15 pm

Chrysalis was seated in her throne once more, wiggling her toes as two Drone's licked over her feet. She then looked at the exit and held her gaze, deep in thought. She was concentrating too hard to notice her Elite walk up.

"My queen?" She asked, ripping the queen from her thoughts.

"Y-Yes, Nala?" Chrysalis asked, looking at her with a slight jump.

"Are you okay?" Nala asked as she climbed into her queen's lap, facing her with her knees beside Chrysalis' legs. "You seem... distracted..."

The taller Changeling smiled and ran her hands up and down Nala's back. "I was just thinking... If I am queen now, then... I must learn to mate and bear children... For that, I would need to go to the town... or the village..."

Nala tilted her head with a worried expression. "But... now that the Empire knows of our existence..."

"That is why I must go alone..." Chrysalis replied as both Nala and the Drones looked at her nervously. The queen eyed them and sighed. "I can not-- I... will not... endanger any more of you... It was foolish of me to take her into the Empire... If I had not, then..." she said as a tear fell from her eye as her fist clenched tightly, her claw-like fingers puncturing tiny holes in her hand as green blood began to trickle down.

Nala gasped and gently took her hand. "It was not your fault..." she cooed before licking the blood up.

Chrysalis eyed her and smiled lightly, slowly opening her hand as Nala began cleaning up the blood. "I will go tomorrow... You all will stay here."

Nala eyed her, her licking slowing before she nodded. "If that is... what you want..."

The queen smiled and looked at her hand as her horn lit up, the small puncture marks sealing up. The Elite finished cleaning her hand before Chrysalis gave her a smile. "Turn around with your back to me..." she cooed.

Nala let go of her queen's hand and nodded, turning around in Chrysalis' lap with her legs dangling between her queen's and her rod and balls resting on Chrysalis'. After she did this, she watched as the Drones began to move to her feet, gently picking them up and giving the soles a lick. The Elite cooed as she felt the tongues on her feet, wiggling her toes.

Before long, the Drone on the right moved Nala's foot to her cock, holding it in place while she moved her hips. The Elite let out a soft gasp when she felt the Drone's shaft against her sole. Chrysalis smiled and reached around, gripping her breasts and squeezing them. Nala let out a moan and looked over her shoulder at her queen, tongue hanging out.

"You are... so adorable..." Chrysalis cooed, sliding her right hand down the Elite's belly towards her cock.

8:00 pm

Chrysalis entered her room; the queen's room, looking at the bed. Memories of that tragic moment a year ago found its way into her head, which is something she found happening almost every time she looked at that bed. It filled her with an even greater determination to go to the village alone.

Heading to her wardrobe, she opened it. Inside were various outfits collected over the past year for when the queen wanted to go out. She took a red cloth top with one shoulder strap, leaving the other shoulder bare. After switching out her current top for the new one, she removed her skirt and pulled out a long black cloth skirt.

Next up were her shoes. They were made from a leather-like material with laces up the ankle. Putting them on, Chrysalis walked around a little before turning into the form she used when leaving the hive; a dark blue unicorn mare with long purple hair down to her butt and yellow eyes.

Looking beside the shoes, she saw her bit bag. Taking it, she opened it and looked inside, seeing a ton of bits; money Ash had collected over the years. There was also a few more bags of bits near the shoes. Taking it, Chrysalis closed the wardrobe and attached the bit bag to her waist.

"You look nice, my queen..." Nala said with a smile, standing in the doorway.

Chrysalis looked over at her and smiled, turning to face her. "Always the flatterer..." she cooed.

Nala kept her eyes on the queen for a few seconds more before gazing at the bed. As she did, her expression saddened. "No matter what happens... come back to us..."

Chrysalis watched her before looking at the bed, too. She understood her Elite's concern. After Nala was born, Chrysalis had told her everything as a way to cope with the loss of her beloved queen and Drone. Nala knew it all and, due to the telepathy the Changelings shared, she also felt how Chrysalis felt.

Walking up to her, the queen gently rubbed the Elite's back. "I will return... That is a promise I make to you and all the others..."

Nala eyed her with a smile. "I believe you..."

"Good," Chrysalis replied with a playful smirk before leaving her room, Nala quickly following.

"We all wish you the best of luck, my queen," the Elite said with a smile as they entered the main room, all the Drones watching their queen as they made a path to the exit.

Chrysalis smiled at each one as she passed. "I will be back before you know it," she said, before finally making it to the path that led out of the cave. Stopping and turning to Nala, she put a hand on her shoulder. "Keep them safe..."

The Elite nodded with a light smile. Half of the Drones seemed to share her concern; probably the ones that knew Ash. The current queen ran her hand over Nala's cheek before backing up a few steps, soon turning and walking away. Nala just stood there, watching her leave.

Chrysalis emerged from the cave and stood outside, taking in a breath of fresh air before walking towards the nearest village. She had been there a couple times already to scope it out and got to know some of the shop owners; specifically the ones who sold clothes. As she walked, she looked up at the moon, crossing her arms. She used to like looking at the moon but now it only reminded her of the one who killed her queen.

After walking a bit more, she saw the lights of the village through the trees. Smiling, she moved closer until she left the woods and found herself near the entrance of the village. Walking down the path, she looked around as she observed all the mares and stallions going about their normal business.

There weren't that many as most had turned in for the night. Chrysalis passed by a clothing shop to see the mare who ran it locking the door. She was a gray pegasus mare with short white hair down to her shoulders and orange eyes. The mare was wearing a black, cloth shirt which left her shoulders and neck area visible as well as her belly. On her legs she wore a black, cloth skirt that went down to just above her ankles. For shoes, she wore nothing.

When she turned around and spotted Chrysalis, she smiled. "Crystal Wish. How are you?"

"I am good, Cloudy..." the disguised Changeling queen replied. "Closing up shop?"

Cloudy nodded before turning and walking towards her home. "Come. Walk with me."

Chrysalis hesitated before following, moving a tad faster to walk beside her.

"I see you are wearing the clothes you bought from me," Cloudy said as she eyed Chrysalis with a smile. "How are they working out for you?"

"I like them..." the Changeling said as she felt her cloth top. "They are quite soft..."

Cloudy smiled a little more before they got to her home. It looked like all the others; a small, single floor wooden hut. "You, uh... have a place to stay?" She asked as she stood in front of her door, not looking at the pseudo-mare.

Chrysalis tilted her head slightly before smiling lightly, feeling a small surge of love. Did this mare like her? Or was she simply looking for a quick fling. Stepping up to her, Chrysalis shook her head. "I do not have a place, no..."

Cloudy eyed her and smiled lightly before opening the door. "Come on in, then..."

Chrysalis followed her in and looked around. It wasn't very big but it looked like home. In the back-left corner was a decent-sized bed. Next to that was a wardrobe and on the back-right, a stone furnace with a chimney. Looking to her left, Chrysalis saw a counter in front of the window with knives and plates set to the side. In the center of the room was a wooden table and two chairs.

"Make yourself at home," Cloudy cooed as she closed the door, before heading towards the wardrobe.

After removing her shoes, the Changeling walked over to the counter and looked over her kitchen set-up. Looking back, she saw Cloudy facing her open wardrobe, pulling off her top. The Changeling then turned and walked over to the furnace, kneeling down and looking it over. It looked hand-made and sort of amateurish.

"I only, uh... have one bed," Cloudy said, making Chrysalis look over at her. She was now wearing nothing, which was normal in this period. It was especially normal for Chrysalis as she saw naked bodies every day at her hive. The queen looked her body over, her eyes trailing over Cloudy's feet, legs, hips, and B-cups.

Smiling, she stood up. "That is quite alright," she said as she pulled off her top, revealing her blue breasts as she set her top on the table. She then slipped out of her skirt and set it with her top.

Turning to face the mare, she headed towards the bed. When she passed by Cloudy, she sopped. That small surge felt stronger as she heard the mare's heartbeat quicken. Closing her eyes, she let out a sigh before opening her eyes again. Turning to face Cloudy, she reached out and gently pulled the mare into a kiss. Cloudy went wide-eyed as she tensed up before relaxing, closing her eyes and letting out a moan. Chrysalis kept the kiss going before pulling back with a sigh.

"A-About time..." Cloudy said with a chuckle, licking her lips.

The Changeling smiled and eyed the bed. "Sit down on the bed... legs over the edge..."

Cloudy looked her in the eyes with a blush, before nodding and doing as asked. The Changeling watched her before walking up to her, gently placing her hands on the mare's shoulder.

"How long have you felt this way?" Asked the queen.

Cloudy blushed more as she looked up at the mare. "Um... S-Since the last time you were... in the village..." Chrysalis nodded and moved her hands down to the mare's breasts, rubbing them lightly. "I have been... thinking about you..."

The Changeling stopped rubbing and eyed her, before going back to rubbing the mare's chest mounds. "Have you?" She asked, eyes focused on what her hands were doing.

Cloudy nodded and smiled, reaching a hand out and placing it on the blue mare's cheek. Chrysalis suddenly felt a stronger surge of love as she held back tears. Gently nuzzling the mare's hand, she looked her in the eyes. Even though Cloudy hasn't said it yet, Chrysalis knew how she felt. Smiling lightly, she slowly got to her knees and placed her hands on the mare's legs near her crotch, gently spreading her legs.

She then leaned in and gave the mare's folds a long lick with a moan, the gray mare letting out a moan of her own. The Changeling closed her eyes and licked away as the gray mare arched her back, her hands gripping the sheets. Chrysalis opened her eyes as she looked up at the mare, her mouth still buried in the mare's pussy. She wanted to tell her about her being a Changeling and that, if she wanted, she could come live with her at her hive. But, a large part of her knew that the mare loved the blue mare named Crystal Wish. Not the Changeling, Chrysalis.

As a tear fell from her eye, the queen felt a squirt of liquid hit her face between the eyes. Blinking a few times, she realized what it was. The smell also gave it away as did the sound of Cloudy panting. The queen then kissed up the mare's body, giving each breast a quick lick before kissing up to the mare's neck.

Cloudy let out cute gasps before tilting her neck back. She trusted her. This made it harder for Chrysalis to bear. Eyes watering, she began kissing the mare's neck lovingly before kissing Cloudy's cheek. The queen soon placed both hands on the mare's shoulders before climbing into her lap. She then gently laid them both down with Cloudy on her back. Chrysalis pulled back to look the mare in the eyes.

Cloudy smiled back before tilting her head, a confused look on her face. "Something wrong?" She asked, noticing the Changeling's watery eyes.

Chrysalis smiled and shook her head hesitantly. "I-I just... I have s-something to... tell you..."

The gray mare smiled lightly. "What?" She cooed as she gently ran her hand up and down the queen's back.

Chrysalis hesitated, deciding what to say before smiling back. "I love you..." she said softly.

Tears formed in Chrysalis' eyes before the two kissed deeply, letting out soft moans.

9:13 am

Cloudy woke up and rubbed her eyes, letting out a yawn. As she sat up, she saw Chrysalis sitting at the foot of the bed, back to her. The gray mare rubbed her eyes and let out another yawn.

"Morning, sweetie," Cloudy cooed with a giggle. When she didn't get an answer in response, she got on all fours and crawled up behind Chrysalis. "Um... You okay, sweetie?"

The Changeling sniffled and shook her head. "N-No..."

Cloudy went wide-eyed slightly and got to her knees before wrapping her arms around her lover. "What is wrong?" She asked, sounding worried.

The queen hesitated before looking back at Cloudy, her face covered in tears and her eyes red from sobbing. "Th-There is... s-something I have to... t-tell you..."

The gray mare let out a soft gasp when she saw the mare's face. "Wh... What is it?" She asked worriedly.

Chrysalis looked into her eyes, hesitating before looking away. "I... I-I am a..." she started to say, before changing her mind. "I-I am immortal..." she whimpered.

"Y... You are... what?" Asked Cloudy, slightly confused. "Immortal? Like the... princesses?"

Chrysalis nodded. "Mmm... I was... cursed a long time ago..." the queen lied, knowing she couldn't say the truth. "I am going to live forever, and..." She then looked at Cloudy again. "I do not want to watch you die..."

The pegasus gasped as tears began to fill her eyes. "Y... You are... serious..." she said, sniffling. "So, what are you saying? Y-You plan to leave me?"

Chrysalis gasped and turned around, kneeling on the bed with the mare, gently taking her hands. "I do not want to, my sweet..." she said as she gently tightened her hold. "I love you... But I can not bear the memory of watching you die... Too much has happened to me, that... I think that will kill me..."

Cloudy hesitated as tears fell from her eyes. "I... I understand. It... I... I-I just thought that... we would finally b-be together..."

The Changeling pulled her into a hug. "Do not hate me for this... but we should end this as soon as possible... For the longer we wait... the harder it will be to let go..."

Cloudy's lips began to tremble as she started to cry, more tears falling from her face. "B-But, I just... got you..."

Seeing the mare cry made Chrysalis feel even worse about all this. "I-I should not have slept with you... I am so sorry... It is just, I--" She stopped herself when Cloudy moved away to lie down on the bed, face in the pillow as she cried. Chrysalis sniffled some more before laying beside her. "I could... come visit you..." she cooed, gently rubbing the mare's back. "But, I want you to find a real partner. Someone who can live... and die... with you... You deserve that..."

Cloudy hesitated before turning her head to look at the queen. "Y-You... You promise to visit?"

Chrysalis smiled and nodded. "As often as I can... And I promise to be there for you on your last day..." she cooed.

The pegasus smiled and wiped her eyes. "Could... Could you just... stay with me for a... l-little bit longer?"

The queen gave the mare a smile and nodded, scooting closer to her and wrapping her arm around her. "One more day..."

Cloudy smiled and nuzzled the blue mare, the blue mare nuzzling back.

Badlands, 10:00 am

Ember dragged a naked, brown stallion into a cave, kicking and screaming. The red queen was wearing a black cloth top that was in the shape of an "X", the straps going over her shoulder and around her waist as it just barely covered her breasts. She also wore a short black skirt that stopped halfway to her knee.

"Quiet!" The Changeling yelled, throwing the stallion into the corner of the small cave, before cornering him.

He huddled where he landed, looking up in horror at his captor. "Wh-What do you want with m-me?" He asked the creature as she began to undress.

Tossing her clothes aside, she knelt in his lap and held his hands against the cave wall. "I want your seed," she growled before slipping his cock into her pussy and moving up an down.

Unlike Chrysalis, Ember was rough as fuck and din't care. The stallion, not only staring at her girl cock, gasped in both pain and pleasure as she made him pound her pussy. Growling through her teeth, she held his shoulders tightly and let out moans. She rode him roughly for a few more minutes before she felt his seed enter her. As she did, he let out grunts of pleasure before sighing in content.

"Mmm... Very good..." Ember cooed, before grabbing the stallion's head and snapping his neck.

As he fell limp, she stayed in his lap. Once his cock went limp and slipped out of her pussy, she rolled off him and onto her back. Slipping two fingers inside, she made sure no semen spilled out.

"Soon, my children..." she cooed. "Soon, the Empire will be mine..."
