"Oh, my name is Twilight sparkle."
Chrysalis was laying on her back on her bed inside of her new dorm, like many of the other students there she was going to have a dorm mate. A part of her hoped it was going to be Twilight, that nice unicorn filly she had met in the library. She couldn't get Twilight out of her head. They had talked for an hour, mainly about what books they like. It turned out they liked a lot of the same books such as "The Complete History Of Equestria" and "The Complete Plant Biology Of Equestria", but then then the crystal ball on the desk lit up, snapping Chrysalis out of her thoughts.
Chrysalis got up and walked over to the crystal ball. She tapped the crystal ball once and it made a chime. The face of a changeling queen appeared. "Hello Mother" said Chrysalis "Chrysalis, have you learned anything about Celestia?" asked the queen rudely. "No, not yet..." Said Chrysalis "Of course, why should I expect anything better than nothing?" the queen asked rhetorically with a sigh. "I'm sorry Mo-" Chrysalis started "Don't, you're not allowed to even call me mother." said the queen rudely "Yes, Queen Skarlet." replied Chrysalis with a bow of her head. Queen Skarlet sighed and said "Go, and make use of yourself." Queen Skarlet muttered something under her breath but Chrysalis didn’t catch what she said. "Yes, my queen." replied Chrysalis once again. The crystal ball went dark and the face of the queen disappeared. Chrysalis went to her bed and plopped onto the bed, she covered her face with her hole covered hooves. She took a shaky breath, "I hate her, I FUCKING HATE HER!!!" Chrysalis screamed through sobs. Her mother always hated Chrysalis and her older sister, Mantids. The only sibling of hers that her mother actually loved was her little sister, Scorpion. Who also happened to be the only one who loved slaughtering ponies more than any of them combined. That was only because she had her ceremony early. Chrysalis had only killed one pony at that point, mainly because she had to, because it was her royal duty for she had become ten earlier that year.
~Five months earlier~
Chrysalis was preparing herself for her coming of age ceremony, also known as Execution Day for any prisoners who might be in the dungeons. To prove herself to her hive, Chrysalis must kill a pony in front of the entire hive, without her magic. She had been training with her older sister for six months, she had gotten much stronger because of it. She already had a lot of confidence, it was mainly because she had seen her little sister perform the ceremony even though she was a year younger than Chrysalis. Scorpion had performed the ceremony without any trouble even though she was up against a stallion twice her size... So Chrysalis was sure she could too. She just hoped she wouldn’t fail and make a fool of herself in front of her entire hive...
