Apex-discipulus, the young nymph apprenticed to Pharynx-dominus, chooses his heart over following the rules, and follows The Rankless One into the unknown.
Embracing the power to share love rather than steal it, the changelings work to reinvent themselves and their kingdom while Thorax seeks to introduce a more peaceful hive to Equestria.
When Pharynx continuously has nightmares about his old outcast issues, he comes to face two options: to open up to his brother about his issues, or to continuously let himself crack under the constant pressure.
Under the light of the moon, King Thorax and Prince Pharynx come face to face with the changeling's grim past - a dark crown, and the beast that still wears it.
After the first two YEET stories, Ocellus is fed up with bugbros’ antics. So, what does she do? Well, she certainly doesn’t have a civilized conversation with them.
Pharynx won't ever accept these new Changeling customs. He won't ever accept the lovey-dovey ways of his peoples. Even on his death bed he won't ever sympathize for the Ponies like his people do. Maybe he'll tolerate, for the sake of Her.
The changelings are no longer creatures of violence. They are no longer shady, private, hostile and fierce. They no longer are the acting steel hoof of Chrysalis' will. Time has changed them, and to Pharynx, it has changed them for the worse.
Thorax and Pharynx were always physically and mentally distinct among changelings. In fact, before ousting her, the only changeling more distinct was Chrysalis herself. Is there a connection there?
As the hive embraces a brighter future, so do the arid lands surrounding it. Caught in an acclimating climate, the hive now faces a series of downpours that limit both flight and activities. Luckily, Thorax has a plan, and a cozy one, at that.
After being left behind in the badlands after her expedition is attacked by a dangerous monster, Twilight Sparkle must survive a hostile, alien environment. Lucky for her, she has some help from one of the natives: A curious changeling named Thorax.
During Equestria's annual royal summit, newly-met Shining Armor and Pharynx discover they have a fair bit in common, including a passion for homeland security, and an extremely dorky little brother/sister.
Despite their detached relationship, Thorax never gave up on his brother. With Pharynx now transformed, his cold demeanor has begun to thaw, and so Thorax is presented with something he's never had, before - an interactive big brother.
Caught out as a traitor to the hive, Thorax tells a desperate lie: he's only been pretending to be the ponies' friend so that he can avenge his queen. Now he has to somehow make that lie seem true, and nothing will go according to plan when he tries.
