Queen's Bed Chambers.

[Plush Ramen]

Although the Queen of the changelings rarely sleeps in this castle, her room is more so for simple breaks from the annoying peasant complaints of the days. Not to mention, a small relief from her children as well. Absolutely NOONE is allowed in this room without her permission, and trespassing creatures will be sentenced to death.

[Queen Chrysalis]

Stirring awake to the sounds of multiple tweeting birds flapping around her window at dawn, a small aura of green light erupted from her horn. Reaching the window and turning into a gas like texture, the magical aura seeped through the glass before reaching the birds as the trio of once lovely singing red breasted feathered creatures dropped to the ground in silence. Successfully hearing a splat despite her high leveled room, the Queen of the changelings stretched in her comfortable round bed before standing on her own four hooves.

"Why must nature exist before I arise?"

Yawning ever so lightly, the bug mare opened her door as her tired green orbs locked with the faces of her stone faced guards. Checking each guard for flaws, a buzzing sound could soon be heard from her wings as the two soldiers on each side instinctively did the same for their normal morning and night check up. Offering a nod to them for their service, the holed and fresh for the day Chrysalis had left her room and headed into the hall way.

[Exit Queen Chrysalis]

[Queen Chrysalis]

[Enter Queen Chrysalis]

Transporting here from the Ponyville palace, the Queen of the changelings had entered her room before sighing. It had been a few hours since she came into her room once again. It was not like her to come here so early, but for a situation like this, she called for it. Turning to her bed, the changeling mare had sat on her bed in peace. It was quiet, and she needed some time to herself. Unfortunately, it would have to wait. Still, assuming Joxer wouldn't leave his emotions so easily, and with this in thought, she laid down for the moment. She was tired, and used more magic then she wanted to for a puny ex lunar guard. He would have been slaughtered, if not for that pill. Still, Chrysalis knew she could handle him and anything that got in her way. It did not mean her magic was endless. Resting her head, she awaited the arrival of her pet as time ticked on.

"I wish I could sleep.."

[Joxer]

[Enter Joxer]

After getting out of the prison walls, Joxer had immediately teleported to the castle, walking down the hall before knocking gently on the Queen's door. He sighs softly and rubs his forehead, Great... I'm probably going to get in trouble and who knows what's happening to her right now...

[Queen Chrysalis]

Two guards stood on each side of the doorway to the Queens chambers. Looking to the stallion and spotting his collar, neither one had said a word to the pony knocking on the majesty's door. They were however, glaring at him for weak spots if the need arose.

Meanwhile, Chrysalis had been nearly unconscious when the knock came to her ears. Bursting her eyes open, the Queen of the nation had sat up, but not before giving deadly glances to the door for its intrusion. Knowing she had a job to do, a sigh was soon to follow as the tall and regal mare cleared her raspy throat for his entry.

"Come in."

[Joxer]

Joxer quietly and quickly opens the door, closing it behind him after he was given permission to enter. He bows his head slightly and stays standing just inside the door. He see's her tired and frustrated look and frowns. "Sorry... Did I wake you?"

(sorry. short post)

[Queen Chrysalis]

Watching her pet come through the door, Chrysalis stretches before shaking her head with a small yawn. Flapping her holed see through wings for a thorough stretch their way, her eyes darted to Joxer with a small smile. Hoping he saw what she did for him, the changeling Queen stood up.

"No not at all. Come in Joxer, shut the door. I take it you saw my present to you in the terms of freedom of that mare?"

[Joxer]

Joxer does so and walks a bit closer, standing still with a confused expression. "I did... You, you actually set her free... But, why? You said you wouldn't do that." He stumbles as he tries to actually express his gratitude. "I-i mean, I'm glad that you did. I'm happy she can live for a while rather than rot in there, they weren't even feeding her properly..."

[Queen Chrysalis]

Listening to Joxer stumble and hesitate on his words, it was a cute and fun difference then his normal cold hearted self trying to seem happy. Feeling the emotions coming off of him, the Queen could tell he was upset about the situation his friend was in. Waving the light brown stallion over, Chrysalis spoke softly yet firm to his rough disposition.

"Oh my Joxer, I am sorry to hear. I simply provide the prison with money. Who they choose to feed based on criminal statue is not anything I can control. And I did it, as a gift to you my pet. You were unhappy, now I hope your closure comes more easily then before. Orange Glow is a well trusted soldier of mine, she will be well taken care of for now. Now, to business. I need you to go on a mission for me. But first, I need your word that you will be absolutely focused on it. Understand?"

[Joxer]

Joxer walks over and stands by her bed, rather loose in posture as he just kind of lets his emotions run free. He sighs in a happy relief, not sure if he was allowed to show affection to her at the moment. He blinks as she asks him the question and closes his eyes for a moment before opening them and nodding.

"I can be absolutely focused on it, now that I know she is alright."

[Queen Chrysalis]

"Excellent. Now, one of my best soldiers has been off on a few secret missions lately. Unfortunately his entire team was eaten by a demonic venus pony trap off the coast of Neighzeland.(Totally a real place. I'll fight chew!) They were surrounded when they tried to make peace. It just goes to show just how racist this world can be. My son, you have proven that you are tough enough to be one of my soldiers and more. I need you to come through for me. I need you to advance into the special ops force. He is the only survivor and I am in need of more soldiers skilled enough to handle the public with a nice face. Their duty, was to make peace and capture fugitives and runners from our lovely growing nation. Will you accept this position and join him?"

Chrysalis awaited an answer. He began her pet. Useless other then transportation and love. Blossoming from that pony to a trustworthy and skilled soldier on his own, Joxer was not a force she would want her subjects to reckon with. Still, if he decided to accept this deal, his payment level would grow. His life would only get better, and his freedom would boil to new heights for visiting cities no longer allowed by citizens. She was offering this position to him because he was a well trusted friend, if he wanted to, he could decline, and that would have to be fine, despite her inner grumbling at the thought.

[Joxer]

Taking the information in, Joxer stands there in disbelief. Him? In the special forces? His spirits soared at that and grins for a moment before frowning as he thinks of things. He looks down at the Queen and tries to think of what to say.

"Well... before I give my answer. How long will I be out there..?" he gently taps his hooves together, "I would love to do it, that'd be amazing.. I just, could I come back here every once in a while?" He asks partially thinking of seeing the Queen, but mostly Plush...

[Queen Chrysalis]

Feeling his excitement grow, the Queen could barely hide her smile through her listening lips. He was interested after all. Pleased he was considering, she waited for him to finish. Surely he would miss his mother dearly, judging from his words. Feeling loved at this, Chrysalis had felt herself grow as a leader. She was giving and receiving, certainly something she was not quite used to.

"My son, ofcourse. In between missions, your group will beable to go and do whatever they please. It must however be let known, so no disppearing without telling your squad leader. His name is L, and proudly one of the first born changelings that can talk in almost every language. I believe you will like him. Right now, he is merely delivering a letter, but will return shortly. In the meantime, rest my son."

[Joxer]

Joxer grins happily, eyes bright with energy for once in a long while as he hums in delight. He nods at her instruction and smiles his normal smirky smile.

"Thank you so much for this, I won't let you down."

[Queen Chrysalis]

"You deserve this my child. Now, forgive me, there seems to be a crowd forming in my throne room. You are welcomed to attend and stand by me if that is what you wish. I am certain your friend will come eventually. "

Walking to her door, the Queen had been about to open the handle when she hesitated. For some reason, she felt this feeling of unease wash over her as the changeling mare tried to shake it off. Had she relied on magic too much over the years? She had mastered alot of the weather and darkness that she practiced, she was great at what she did. She was however in need of learning other skills if a time came where her magic didn't exist. Turning to her subject, she felt the need to help him for his unquestioned loyalty. Soon, his magic would grow, and in that time, he would lewrn pain and sorrow, only then can you start to master the art of darkness.

"Do me the honor, Joxer dear, teleport us to my chair."

[Joxer]

Joxer smiles slightly and then blinks, nodding to her request and slowly walking behind her. When she pauses at the door, he blinks and stops, just watching her before she asks her request.

"Um, sure. Of course." He nods slightly and with a small build up of magic, he teleports them both to the throne room.

[Exit Joxer and the Queen]

[Correctional Forces]

[Enter Strong Defense, Queen Chrysalis and soldier.]

Opening up the door to her majesty's chambers, the royal guard had begun to help the stallion get the Queen to her bed. Worried on how much time they had before the other two leaders knew of her weakness, he turned to Strong with a clear to his throat. "We must keep this a secret. Absolutely noone is to know. If the King and Nightmare find out.. id hate to see this kingdom lead by them." He shivers.

[Strong Defense]

"Too late for that. Sombra is here now. Keep him busy and in a good mood so he doesn't try to start anything." Strong lead the soldier out of the room. 

"Act like everything is normal. The hour is late and the queen is a busy pony. It makes sense for her to retire to her chambers for the night." Strong then close the door on the soldier and started on his work. 

He first looked over the room as he set out to set up his defense array. Using something meet to protect a whole city to guard a single room was a bit of over kill, but he did trust Sombra's timing. There is no such thing as coincidence. When the spell was in place Strong felt a huge amount of energy go into the spell, it still needed work, but now some pony would need to bring down the palace if they wanted in here. 

Next up was wards. Strong started upping the strength of the queen's physical wards to the highest level he could make and then adding a set of mental wards of the same strength. With the queen as safe as she could be, he used most of what little energy for the day he had left to give himself a set of mental and physical wards. Strong didn't like the fact that he had to go into battle earlier without any, but it was more important at the time to place a set on the queen.

Thinking about the queen and his wards Strong remember how Chrysalis had regained some strength from the affection put into the spell. An Idea came to Strong of something that might help a bit. Also he was pretty tired himself. Taking a minute to write a note, so as to hopefully avoid waking to attempted murder. Strong attached it to his forehead and crawled into bed, snuggling up to the queen and allowing a loving affection to take hold as to help in the queen's recovery. With all that work out the way Strong soon fell asleep.

The note will read. "Your majesty I apologize for the presumption, but I wanted to stay close and assumed with this you would be able to feed off me to aid in your speedy recovery. I also promised no one would disturb you, to that end I have set in place spells to make it so no one can enter your chambers. I will take them down when you wish to leave. You can wake me when you wish, if not my spells with in the morning or if anyone attempts to metal with them." 

[Correctional Forces]

"R-ight" Turning to the closed door with a hesitant last word, he sighed. Trotting to the entrance with fear crippling up his spine, the stallion continued his mission. How in Equestria did he go from healer to villian patrol? Moving through, he left the Queens door feeling oddly uncomfortable about the whole scenario.

[Exit Royal guard]

[Strong Defense]

As strong slept he got a feeling that he might of got someone killed.

Oh well... Strong continued to enjoy the soft warm bed and filled up the changeling next to him with love. 

[Queen Chrysalis]

Darkness.. Surrounding her mental state, like a security blanket, it stayed in place. Never allowing herself to visualize dreams as they once came, the Queens slumber had been mere black outs ever since. For fear of Nightmare taking control, her anxious mind stayed on full patrol. Keeping herself this way for years, the joy of good thoughts was lost on her in the endless darkening slumber mode. Out for what felt like a millenia, hours passed as the Queens body rested in place. Remaining like a statue in her bed, Strong's body had not effected her in the very least. That was, until she came to her sences.

That smell..

Grumbling lightly from her stomach, acid bubbled in anticipation. Smelling something rather splendid, her eyes dared not to wake. While still unconscious on a physical level, her body knew more. Craving the luscious intake of loves sweet aroma as it touched her tongue, the desire grew too well. Stirring lightly, the darker part of the Queen has begun to emerge. Flickering her eyelids as they glowed, the blacked pupils were a sign of her split state. In a resembled sleep walking state, the mare turned over in surprise. Not initially seeing the stallion as her eyes refused to come clear, her horn flared to life.

Encasing Strong Defense in a sporatic black flamed aura, he would soon begin to feel lesser then he was. Starting off as a mere drain to feed her injured center, unknowingly, Chrysalis took much more then intended. Unlike her normal feeding times, the sudden flames had begun to work faster. Within seconds, Strong's body would begin to feel an incredible amount of pain. As if crushing his vital organs from the inside out, the stallion needed to think fast. With each second passing, the wrenching pain grew worse. He needed to wake her up!

[Strong Defense]

Strong was awakened by the pain and his spells. The wards prevented any damage and aloud him to process the pain in a detached way, at the cost of the energy put into them. Even with his spells safeguarding him Strong was very ware of the pain. Shaking the queen into the world of the waking. 

"You want to slow down and chew your food... you might coke if you don't." He just could help but make a joke, even at a time like this. 

[Queen Chrysalis]

With his touch only angering the beast within further, the pain seemed to multiply. Growing beyond a normal ponys pain management, his protective spell wouldn't last much longer. Despite his efforts, the Queen remained in a blank state. Leaning against him now as her horn only drew more from his life line, Strong needed to think harder. Waking her up needed to be something shocking and fast.

[Strong Defense]

Strong was running out of options fast, as the pain shot up to the point that his mental wards kick in to protect his sanity. In this state the only idea coming to him was a bad one, but at this point that was better than nothing. 

"...Please to don't stop killing me only to kill me later for what I'm about to do." And with that Strong resorted to his stupid plan and kissed the queen. 

[Queen Chrysalis]

Batting a thousand with his brave driven choice, Strong's lips touching her own had been the spark he needed. Immediately dissipating from his body, the black magic was gone. Widening her now fully green and vibrant orbs to his desicion, Chrysalis, the Queen of Equestria, was awake. Sending a powerful blast of wind to the stallions chest, it easily was enough to shove him to the wall. Keeping him in place, she could only withhold her temper for so long.

"How dare you! In all my years! Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip you apart!"

Vibrating the room with her rage, one thing was clear - She was feeling much better. Mastering the wind technique some time ago, it had always been her go to when involving less magical attacks to the bodies needed. Nothing is more powerful then a gust of crushing wind to the chest.

[Strong Defense]

Strong felt relief now that he only had to deal with the wind spell. Looking at the queen and smiling before speaking.

"I can think of several. In no particular order... I assisted in killing a dragon, I have actively protected and taken care of you. That's just to start. I've also just feed you in addition to aiding in help to hind you and the fact you were in a weaken state from Sombra. I've done all of this and more with thought of reward and of my own free will. I could go on if you like, but do you mind putting me down first?" 

Almost forgetting about it Strong tapped the wall show off the defense array. "Also it would be very difficult to leave or enter this room without me first doing something about this. Oh and when you say in all your years... what has no pony ever kissed you before or something? Is it more the whole out of the blue part?" 

[Queen Chrysalis]

"MY personal buisness is not yours to know! DO I MAKE myself clear?!"

Growling in frustration, the Queen's magic seemed to grow. With the heavily cutting winds pulsing through Strong's body, she listened carefully. Vibrating the walls with natures spell, the pressure added to his build was a brutality in the making. Moving from the bed and standing up fully, the Queen questioned the situation. Kill him now, she'd get to set an example. Or let him live and gain an interesting allie.

"Very well. Your words save your life. For now." Dropping her wind spell, Chrysalis had begun to stretch. Feeling her s try strength returning with glory, Sombras arrival would soon be his biggest regret. "Unshield this door. I need you to send a message."

[Strong Defense]

Landing on the ground Strong stretched out, almost cat like. He then walked up to the queen's side and looked her over nodding to himself. 

"You look well again." Strong gave her a warm smile again. "But, now that we have sometime to talk first. I'd like to settle something about our arrangement if you don't mind." Strong wait for the queen's response no longer sending out any love, but he didn't seem upset by what just happen either. 

"It's been several hours so it's not like we're pressed for time right now." 

[Queen Chrysalis]

Hours? Making her way to the window and peering outside, Chrysalis sighed. 'There goes Sombras ego.' She thought to herself. Turning her body back to the pony that risked his life for her, the Queen of Equestria grew confused. Remaining blank faced however, she motioned a hoof for him to continue.

"Lets hear it boy."

As she awaited his response, the tall dark beauty had walked to her desk. Glancing into the mirror, her mane could use some love after all. Levitaing a unique comb through her holed thin strands, she placed it down sbortly after. Looking into the stallions eyes, her patience was running thin.

[Strong Defense]

See the queen was still upset Strong decided to us some tactful flattery. Blowing to the queen before he started. 

"Your majesty I see that my actions have led to me over stepping with you. My deepest apologies... it was not my intention to be so forward. I merely was attempting to assist you, but I am still deeply honored by the experience." Stand upright to look the chrysalis in the eyes. 

"I will continue to prove myself a valuable ally, so as to win your trust."
