Mist Haze glanced around the room and considered Dream Reaper's explanation of the procedure, "wait, if she's asleep then how will you know if you are intruding on things she doesn't want you intruding on?" Mist asked as she looked over the room one last time. She didn't think Dream Reaper would deliberately take advantage of the situation but still Mist couldn't see how she would know if she was crossing a line. She turned to the changeling, "Carapace are you sure you are ok with this?" Mist asked as she stood from where she was sitting in anticipation of the changeling's response. |

"Doesn't really matter if I am or not." Celestia, dead of her hooves from exhaustion and starved to the point that, by all rights, she should have likely keeled over dead several days ago, simply lacked the will to fight back any longer. Oh, there were a few things that she had her heart set on that even her current state wouldn't allow her, but those were major things and this wasn't enough to qualify as 'Major'. If I don't, that delusional stallion will beg me to to reconsider; or do something stupid like refuse to eat until I feed. I'm not letting the foal through his wife away simply because he's under some changeling spell." With some difficultly, she managed to crawl into the bed and lay there; her body was so weak that sleep just came to it withing minutes... and the nightmares returned with it. ‘Carapace’s’ dreamscape was, in a word, Hell. It was the royal palace in Canterlot, yet it was crumbling and in ruins; with gaping holes closed with some sort of waxy substance that resembled the inside of a bee’s hive save for a large opening that looked out onto the ruined city. Changelings swarmed around like angry wasps, pulling ponies out of hiding places as a small number ran around or tried to fight them off. ------ Three unicorns, two of the elements of Harmony and a mint green one with a harp-like cutie mark, were screaming in agony as Painlings sliced with their horns and kicked with their hooves. A purple and green dragon screamed in anger, flames shooting out of his mouth as he struggled to break free from his restraints as Ragelings fed upon him. A short distance away, a cream colored earth pony with a pink and blue mane and tail and a cutie mark of three candy pieces sobbed and begged for them to stop as Sorrowlings utterly feasted upon her. ----- The armor of countless royal guard ponies lay scattered about in the street, many of them still sporting dried- or even fresh- blood as a completely grey pegasus was dragged up to the pile by more changelings. Sonic Wings, his eyes sporting the noticeable green hue of changeling hypnosis, looked on impassively for a moment, then raised an ax with his mouth and held it over the guard’s neck as the other pegasus managed to twist himself to glare up in rage at Sonic. “You traitor to your kind, how can you serve these mons-” The ax came down before the word could be completed and the head rolled off to the side. “The only monster here is you guards.” The pegasus’s body was tossed to the side, just as Captain Shining Armor himself was brought up to the chopping block. “And this will end your tyranny.” ------ The Element of Laughter screamed and cried as her mouth was forced open again and pieces of the Element of Loyalty were forced into it. Next to her, the Element of Kindness had already succumbed to her own shock and horror at a similar treatment of the Element of Honestly. Pain and Sorrowlings utterly gouged themselves on her emotions while several of their number had shifted into the pink pony’s form and were gaily singing. Cupcakes! So sweet and tasty! Cupcakes! Don’t be too hasty! Cupcakes, Cupcakes, Cupcakes! ------- A small dragon, his eyes utterly glowing with changeling mind control, moaned as he kissed the princess of the moon, not even reacting as the alicorn’s eyes flashed to those of a drone’s or the presence of the actual night goddess’s head on a pike in the corner of the room. Still living, but unable to do more than move her lips in silent screams while tears poured down her cheeks and intermingled with the blood at the base of her neck. ------- An unpopular prince was hauled to his hooves by ropes tightly tied around his ankles, the knots bloody from where the course material had worn through his skin. He wore a black and white jester’s outfit, with smeared makeup covering his face. Several ‘lings of varying types looked on as the stallion began to sing in a high-pitched and quivering voice. “Th-three little maids from school are we; Pretty as a schoolmare as can b-” His song was cut off as a sizeable rock struck him square in the jaw, sending him sprawling as a tooth flew out. “You were off key!” Shouted the Painling that threw the rock, already holding another as he was forced upright again by the ropes. “Sing it again, and right this time!” ------ Countless Lovelings swarmed around Cadance, the princess of love encased in a cocoon and dreaming of a happy life with her beloved knight as she served as little more than a battery to the very creatures that had tried to entrap her before. ------- Morpho laughed as she sat upon Celestia’s old throne, the sun princess’s head laying next to her as its eyes still moved and its horn flickered weakly. The Fear Queen’s laughter only increased at the head’s futile attempts at magic and then movement; then, the changeling suddenly shifted into Discord, with his deep laughter echoing around as Canterlot started to burn. Then Morpho was back, laughing in time with the draconequus; laughing, laughing at her pain, her failure. Celestia’s hole-filled hooves came up to attempt to cover her ears, but they laughter still continued, louder; it echoed through her and would not be ignored or silence. She had failed; she had FAILED! |

"Hey hey, bro, honest concern over here. I'm glad you are alive and that Dream is taking care of you." Sonic Wings brought some sandwiches to the living room, enough for all of them "I hope you are recovering well. I'd like to challenge you to a tug-'o-war when you get better. So, they are in session already... I got a hunch that tells me it won't be easy task." "Don't worry, Mist. Dream Harvesting deals with the product, rather than the producer." Dream Reaper explained and began watching. Oh, heavens, the beginning was enough to make her frown, and not much in, she was tempted to directly enter the dream and harvest everything, but instead... "This is troublesome... She's not experiencing a common nightmare! It's a blown-out PARANOIA! Even worse than what I found within Steel Wing. I'll have to do several sessions to clean that up..." Thus, Dream Reaper began harvesting portions of the nightmare, a white light cleanning it inside of the nightmare itself, then replacing the horros with bliss, little by little. However, it would not be enough to do it all in one day. "Why would a changeling have a nightmare like this? No... I'm sure this one changeling must have been a pony before!" Dream Reaper continued extracting the nightmare, whincing as she did. It started to hurt her. And... She reached her limit. "Not... Even... Ten... Percent..." she panted and gently shook Carapace awake. |

Mist Haze considered what Dream Reaper had said, "I don't know you as well as I'd like to but I do trust you...I just find the idea of looking into another pony's dreams, um well, unsettling. Please don't take that the wrong way I just think dreams are privet things...I know I'd never want anypony to see my nightmares" Mist said, her voice trailing off as she looked intently at the sleeping changeling. Mist Haze was shaken from her vigil by Dream Reaper's comment about paranoia, "why, what's happening?" Mist asked. No sooner had the question passed her lips then she realised what she had just asked, "No, don't answer that!" she said quickly, jumping to her hooves in alarm. She shot a concerned look at Carapace, afraid she had woken her. Despite Mist's misgivings about the situation she didn't want to interrupt the process if she didn't have to. Despite her slight outburst the changeling remained asleep though far from peacefully so. Mist Haze gasped and trotted to Dream Reaper's side, "she use to be a pony?! How is that possible?!" she asked glancing from Dream Reaper to Carapace and back in confusion. Mist struggled to understand what was happening before Dream Reaper seemed to falter, "are you alright?" she asked both Dream Reaper and the now wakened Carapace. |

Celestia gasped as she was pulled out of her nightmare; it was the same one that she'd been having for a while now (or at least similar enough to not make a difference), but it still managed to be every bit as terrifying as the first time. On top of that, since her rest had been anything but peaceful as she thrashed about, she was still ravenously hungry and had to force her mind to remember that she was not a changeling and would not stoop to their level by feeding upon other ponies. As such, she couldn't focus enough to pay attention to catch the other two's conversation about her being a pony; even if it was right. "Stop them, have to stop them; have to save Equestria." She staggered to her hooves, shakily taking a few steps toward the door of the room. |

"I don't know, curse, failed experiment... I know little." she explained as she stood from the chair and slid it toward the door with her magic "Session is not all over, Carapace. And, really, you don't looke much healthy.". Dream Reaper then began pondering "There's so much about that dream that puzzles me. Impossible scenario considering Morpho is dead and the only queen is an alicorn rather than a changeling, she invisions Sonic Wings as a 'slave' of the changeling, and don't forget that she sees them as horrible monsters.". She then walked to Carapace and said "Hey, listen to me. You should recover your energies and stay with somepony. We'll have to do several sessions to remove that nightmare from you and figure who you really are. But you have to trust on me, if you ever want to return to your true self." |

Mist Haze's mind reeled from the revelation, the changeling Carapace use to be a pony...it didn't make sense, "it does explained her agitation though" she muttered as she rubbed her hoof against her forehead as she trued to think about what was going on. "A pony that hates and fears changelings, who now finds herself being the very thing she hates...it's nightmarish to even imagine how horrible that would be let along actually experience it" Mist said as she looked at the frantic changeling. With a scowl she realised what Carapace's screaming about Discord had been about. Mist didn't need another reason to hate that thing but she had one regardless, "it makes sense that she would see changelings as monsters, if she was once a pony I mean, changelings have done terrible things to ponies..." Mist mused before glancing over at Dream Reaper, "not all changelings are monsters, but some are..." she sighed as she placed a hoof on Carapace's shoulder and made to say something before realise she couldn't think of anything to say to her. She turned back to Dream Reaper, "shouldn't we try to find her family? Sending her to live with a stranger won't help her condition" Mist asked. |

There had been a report of a disturbance down in Colting Cove. But there were other matters that took priority over a public dispute, even if things had gotten heated enough to cause property damage. So by the time Luna made her way to the scene, everything was peaceful. However, with some investigation by herself and the guards, it wasn't hard to figure out how to track the disruptive parties. Luna knew that as a princess, it was her duty to see that everything remained peaceful, especially with the recent treaty with the Changelings. She had no doubt that it would cause its share of problems, and as the current sole ruler of Equestria, any dispute was her business. So it was she found herself at Dream Reaper's door. Luna had two guards in tow, though she didn't expect to be arresting anypony. More so, the guard was more experienced at questioning troublemakers. But she was there as a matter of duty. She sighed, raising a hoof to knock on the door. She was already tired after just a week of ruling Equestria. The task was demanding in itself, but she'd been so worried about Celestia's whereabouts that she hadn't been sleeping well either. Her hoof pounded against the door, then dropped back to the ground as she took a stoic stance. Edited by Princess Luna, Aug 13 2012, 12:36 AM.

"So you are also interested in this one?" Gryilldae fluttered to a landing next to princess Luna. "I have little information regarding this changeling, but I do know she is not who she claims to be... and if she is in the office of Dream Reaper she certainly has significant psychological issues. You will understand if I insist on being present while you question her? For the sake of interracial solidarity, of course; I don't think you will harm her, but enough of my people would be suspicious of the princess personally interrogating one of us that rumors would spread otherwise." He glanced to the door. "Aside from which... the reports I have heard about her intrigue me, and I would have conducted my own investigation soon enough." |

“So there's another Changeling here?” Luna had already met Dream Reaper, and though she wasn't fond of her, she didn't exactly mistrust her anymore. Though she was pretty wary of all Changelings, she was trying her best not to stereotype them all. The same held true for the one now next to her. It did make Luna uneasy having so many in close proximity. Not that having them near or far mattered, since they were scattered all over Equestria at the moment. Just pretend it's a pony. It shouldn't be any different. Luna considered herself quite powerful, mainly because it was just fact. But when something came along that could overpower her, it was... well, frightening. For all she knew, the “peace treaty” was just an act on the part of the Changelings, some part of another underlying plan. Allowing herself to be free could just be a ploy to lull her into a false sense of security. But she tried to tell herself that she was just being paranoid. One batch of bad Changelings shouldn't set the precedent for all the others. After all, some ponies were thieves or pirates or traitors, yet she wasn't afraid to walk around in any city in Equestria whenever she pleased. “My original errand did not involve a second Changeling. But it doesn't surprise me that one of your kind is involved.” She was trying not to be malicious... but after being neutral about Changelings for so long and then being kidnapped by them, well... her faith in them had been broken. “And being that I don't view Changelings in very high regard, at the moment, their opinions matter very little to me.” she knew that she wasn't being fair or courteous, but she was having trouble curbing her mood. “As per your request, I'll leave that to the owner of the establishment.” she didn't really care one way or another. The investigation had been purely a formality on all involved, but his words tipped her off that something more was afoot. |

Seeing as Dream Reaper/Utopia was still rather busy with the patient at the moment, and that nopony else seemed to be moving off their plots, Steel Wing hobbled over to the door and- with some awkward fiddling with mouth on the handle- managed to get the thing open. He took one look at the group that was standing outside, then went into an awkward bow with his three, working legs. "Hello, you majesty." He stood, then hobbled off to the side to allow Luna, her guards and the Queenling to enter. "Sorry for the lack of seating, she usually doesn't get this many visitors at once." |

"That's the catch: We don't know really whom she is related to. And how can we break the news to her relatives? 'Oh, hi, this is your sister/daughter/mother, and someone cursed her into this form. By the way, we are already working on a way to return her back to normal'. While true, it would be awfully hard to believe." Dream Reaper said "Carapace, let's do this: Once you walk out this room, you choose who you will stay with, okay?" "Oh, look, Princes Luna and- I don't believe we have met." Sonic Wings said to Luna and Gryilldae "I assume the words reached your ears... About time... Want a sandwhich? Made it about now." |

Mist Haze was surprised to hear that Dream Reaper was already working on a way to change Carapace back to, well whoever she really was, "well at least there is something we can do" she said with a smile. Mist sighed and glanced at Carapace then turned back to Dream Reaper, "f it was my sister/daughter/mother or anything else I'd want to know so I could be there to help them through it. If it had happened to me I'd want to be with my loved ones more then anything...as a therapist I would have thought you would understand the need for moral support better then anypony" Mist explained. She looked back at Carapace, "my whole reason for being her was to make sure your choices were respected so of course I'll support whatever decision you make" she said. Mist trotted up to Carapace and gently nuzzled her neck, "please remember that you are never truly alone and there are always ponies willing to help you no matter how bad thinks get. We all live for one another in Harmony...that thought always helps me when I'm afraid so I hope it gives you comfort to" Mist said as she smiled warmly at the pony-turned-changeling. |

Delirium was setting in again, she was so hungry; things were being said to her, she could hear them, but nothing resonated within her any longer thanks to her hunger screaming in her mind's ear for her to feed. No, she would not be one of them, she would not feed on ponies, she would not- she opened the door and SANDWICHES! LUNA!!! The Changeling all but tackled Sonic Wings and his plate of sandwiches, singing her fangs into them and tearing them to shreds in a desperate feed frenzy. "No, wrong! No taste! WHY IS THERE NO TASTE!?" She still tore at them, desperate to get food into hear even as the sandwiches provided literally nothing for her. "Luna!" She screamed her precious sister's name even as she stuffed her fanged maw with sandwiches. "Luna, please; you have to stop them, you have to save Equestria. Wrong, stop them all; kill them, BURN THEM!" More and more were stuffed into her mouth, to the same effect as ever. "So hungry, so hungry; WHY DOESN'T IT WORK!? Won't feed, wrong, not a changeling, I'm a loveling; NO! WRONGWRONGWRONG! Luna, help me! PLEASE! SAVE THEM, SAVE THEM ALL! YOU HAVE TO SAVE THEM!" In the middle of her mess of sandwiches and a bit of gooey saliva, she started to cry. "Help me! Save them all, save me! Mother, please help me!" |

Snowbird woke up from her nap as Carapace ran screaming out of the office, and watched as she ran to Luna and the sandwich tray. After listening to her for a moment, she leaned over to Dream Reaper. "Call me crazy, but I feel like I know who she is. She's obviously not a changeling, she treats the princess like an equal instead of as a ruler, and she has an obsessive hatred of changelings. Is it just me, or does this sound like Celestia? We still can't find hide nor hair of her, and then this one turns up. I mean, it would be impossible for anyone like us to transform her, but when I found her she spent a good ten minutes screaming about Discord. I know, it sounds crazy, but I feel like it all fits. You think?" |
