Previous er’s description:
Story segment below:
She stood from her throne. “You and I are different not because Crystal Viola hated me and Fine Roast loved you, but because I was lucky and you… were not.”
Not… not lucky? What does she— Ice ran down her back. She was. She really was going to— Firefly took a step back, then another. As she turned to flee, she felt her hooves seize as Chrysalis’s horn lit. “No!” Firefly shook her head and willed with all her might to leave the ground. “I can’t believe that! I’ve loved Roast for months. Nothing happened! I didn’t change, I still produce and need love!”
Chrysalis slowly stepped down each step. “I do not know how or why you have yet to trigger the transformation, nor why I did not. But for the sake of the hive, you cannot be allowed what you desire.” She came to a stop in front of Firefly and knelt down. “None of us can.”
Tears poured down Firefly’s cheeks. She looked away, to the general she had so trusted. The general that had betrayed her. But on the other mare’s face, Firefly found only confusion and concern.
“I do this, Firefly,” Chrysalis said, “not because I hate you, nor because you have what I could not, but because I love you. A changeling queen is nothing without her children and any queen that does not do all she can to protect them does not deserve the title.” She leaned down and rubbed her cheek along Firefly’s.
“Please. Don’t take him! Please!”
Chrysalis drew back and closed her eyes. “I know your pain… and I am truly sorry.” Eyes still shut, she tilted her head forward and Firefly felt the clack of the queen’s horn against hers.
A flash of green filled her vision and everything went dark.
