It has been almost two years since her plan failed. In that time, Queen Chrysalis, and the rest of the Changeling race has whittled down to less than a tenth. Now, huddled and cold in some dank cave, on Hearth's Warming Eve no less, Chrysalis and her remaining Changelings are cold and hungry. To lift their spirits and warm their hearts, Chrysalis reads them an old story to help them prepare for the following day.
This story is a tearjerker. The next chapter will have the fate of the Changelings, but don't get your hopes up.

Ending

"We should bring her-" Cadance said but then to her almost scream, she felt the cold hoof of Chrysalis grab her hoof.
"N-n-n-n-no." Chrysalis's voice sounded like a cold, rusty breeze and her very slow and subtle movements made the sounds of cracking glass and ice. Held the closest to her chest, Chrysalis handed a small bundled wrap to Cadance. "P-p-p-ple-e-e-e-eas-s-s-s-s-se s-s-s-sa-v-v-v-ve m-m-m-my------" Was the last thing Chrysalsis said as she drew her last breath and fell into the cold, endless sleep.
Unwrapping a part of the bundle, Cadance found that she was holding a clear, dark green and black egg.
"An egg?!" Cadance said. "A Changeling egg."
"What is this?" Armor asked. "A chance to save the Changeling race?"
"A hope, Armor." Cadance answered, holding the egg close as if it were her own foal. "That the Changelings can be saved."
"Let's hope." Armor nodded.

Well that was interesting. I will admit I did this story on a whim and rushed myself. If I gave myself more time, it might have been different. But the review was overall interesting and I thank you for taking the time to write one.
