Hush my children, stop your buzzing and cackling. You mother and queen is very tired, she can feel the new queen is about to hatch, the ending coming soon…

No, my dear Fang, your queen is not afraid. I have no regrets for my actions. Just as Celestia protected her children, so I secured food for mine. Every enslaved kingdom, every devastated landscape, it was all for our satisfaction. Let the ponies kept their rules and morals, we are but creatures of hunger and on this, the last day of my ruling, I accept my nature with pride…

What´s that? Of course I know your name! I know the name of every one of you, of every child of mine. Oh, I recognize every sharp set of teeth, every majestic set of wings, every sparkling horn. I can tell all of you apart, distinguish every voice and hear every heartbeat…

Each and every one of your little hearts, all pumping at once with the energy of love we extracted from pathetic little creatures. It´s…intoxicating, almost intoxicating…

Let me hear that sound one last time, my dear Fang. Let me hear the sweet lullaby of your heartbeats. The murmur of your love for me. We thrive on the love of others because our love is so small and yet, yet I can hear it, feel it, embracing me one last time…

I need to sleep now…
