"Discord loves to find all the ways he can to torture ponies." It was almost surreal to Celestia how she was having a conversation with Chrysalis's daughter right now; but, again, that was not important. "He knows of my hatred of your kind, to he took advantage of it to torture me for his own amusement. He is a monster, a monster whose greatest and most dangerous trick is to convince others that he's a decent being. Never let him fool you, or he will stab you in the back for his amusement."

The drone walked over to the collapsed Sonic Wings and checked to make sure he was still breathing. "You might want to make sure that Bloody Tears is stopped, since he is still a war criminal and beyond the reach of normal means of justice, but we also need to get Sonic Wings to a hospital. I'd rather not have him be crippled more."

"Don't worry, Princess. I will never side with Discord. In fact, I hate him because of what he did to you. As for Sonic Wings... I don't feel any pain in him... But you are right, better we let the doctors check on him.". With that, she changed into an alicorn version of her Dream Reaper self, taking him on her back. She was going to say something... But rather than saying... She gave a gentle smile. She was feeling much happier now. Afterwards, she said "Let's go there then?". "Bloody Tears... Could it be me in a previous exiastance?", she thought as they were about to leave.

She wasn't really in the mood for something like this right now; it was just one more thing on top of everything else and there was so much going on in her head. Bloody Tears, if he was to be believed, had been vivisecting changelings on what were supposedly her orders. While she had made it clear that she knew some of her actions regarding the creatures were questionable; she had never expected other ponies to take her intentions that far regarding them.

Okay, that was a bit of a lie, she knew there was a chance it could happen, but she had turned a blind eye to what was happening to keep her claim that she had no idea what was happening having a grain of truth. But still....

With a sigh, the alicorn turned changeling buzzed into the air to get to the hospital quickly. Now was not the time for such thoughts, not with everything that was going on and a pony in need of some medical attention. They were best examined with a clear head.

There, at the hospital, there had been nothing to worry at all. They examined him and figured he was alright, the force of impact didn't cause any damage to him, and he came out of the room crazy worried about Dawn Shine and Utopia. He asked Utopia about what happened, but she was as confused as him. He hugged Dawn Shine tightly, but still being careful to not cause her any damage. "Also... I noticed something Dawn Shine... You got considerably better since we last met. Have you been eatting as you should?" Utopia said. Sonic Wings blinked twice, looked at the ceiling and said "Hey, remember the fireworks that night?"

As she was still more than a little distracted by all that was happening around her, it took Celestia a good half a minute to even realize that she was being talked to. And even then, it still took her almost to the minute mark to connect the dots and get what Utopia was implying and Sonic Wings was inferring. When she did, however, things went south very, very quickly for the faux-changeling.

"No." She was barely audible, even as her expression shifted to utter shock and horror. "NO!!!" Her next action was physically grab Sonic Wings and drag him over to the doctors; demanding that they check him again. In her mind, she had drained a pony of his life essence, of a part of his very soul! She would not allow any harm she might have done to him go unfound and hopefully fixed on top of everything.

Sonic Wings was kind of shocked at how she reacted. Utopia, on other hand... Was not surprised. She kind of expected that reaction. Even so... No harm had been done. The doctors confirmed his health was on green, both times they checked the crippled pegasus. "Dawn Shine, allow me to explain one little thing: consuming one's emotions in controlled ammounts is perfectly healthy. Otherwise, we would have seen him too weak. Plus, this kind of thing is useful in some jobs. For example, the actual carapace. By consuming pain, she reduces the patients' pain. She feeds herself, treats the patients, everypony wins. I kinda figured that sometime after I found out my true form, you see."

She could get over the idea of her therapist being a changeling, not like there was anything she could do in her form right now anyway, but there was a limit to just how much she could take. "You can't just siphon out part of what a pony is and not expect there to be consequences!" She couldn't believe that there was nothing wrong with Sonic Wings, there had to be something there; Discord wouldn't make monsters that didn't have an affect on the ponies they drained. "You can't just go in and rip out a piece of their very soul like it's the same thing as just eating some grass off the ground!"

"But the grass grows back., of course. And come to think of it... I kind of ate your fear before. But rather than weakening you, it made you feel better." Dream Reaper said. Sonic Wings laughed heartly. There was no way he was sick or anything. "My, you are sure getting crazy over me, Dawn Shine. I mean: She told you I'm alright more than once, and so agreed the doctors. Plus, didn't you do something to earn your food?". "She did? What was it?" Utopia asked. "She cheered me up when I was about to give up my dreams. she reminded me of what Celestia would want... So, we can't just throw our hope away, right?"

"NO!" Dawn Shine desperately shook her head, her hooves coming up to what she assumed where the changeling version of ears; they were in the right place at the least. She was not hearing this, she did not want to deal with this on top of the pony Bloody Tears and everything that had happened to her. A pony's soul was not the same as grass, she was not a changeling, she could not feed. Feeding hurt ponies, it had to hurt ponies; why else would Discord have made them? It couldn't be harmless, it couldn't be good, it couldn't be something that could be done like it was nothing!

She could not be wrong, not about this!

"Dawn Shine, how much do you REALLY know of a changeling?" Utopia asked "Seriously, tell me, how much?". "Well, I suppose she has never been willing to learn of them before..." Sonic Wings said and hugged Dawn Shine. Meanwhile, Utopia decided to take Dawn Shine's fear, in hope to clear her mind. Rather than just consuming, she made a "ball of energy" out of Dawn Shine's fear.

"Discord made them; Monsters to torture ponies for fun, always for fun with him! Invaders, liars, impersonators; steal a life and take it for their own!" Yeah, it likely went without saying that all of Celestia's experiences with Changelings were bad; either via an invasion or after Discord had made them. The simple fact was that, with situations like that, there was very little chance or even desire to learn more about them. As such, she actually knew very little about changelings beyond what they could do and a basic understanding of how their shape-shifting worked.

However, once the fear started being drained, things took a turn for the opposite direction that Utopia was intending. "NO!" She made a dive for the ball of fear that was hers, desperately trying to take it back. She even resorted on sucking it in like she was feeding on it, so desperate was she. "Fear is a part of who we are, taking it is the same as taking Love and Happiness; you can't just radically alter a pony just because you feel like it!"

Utopia wasn't consuming. "Didn't you feel your fear fade out, even a little? I'm just trying to show you there is no harm..." The ball dissipated... That energy went back to its respective host. "Dawn Shine... Please, you have to give a chance, you have to learn. You and I both hate Discord, and now every single changeling has been told to seek Discord and keep track of his movements... As for us being creations of Discord... ... The truth of our creation is something you should not grasp without feeling a pang of guilt. So, I will spare you of learning this sad truth.". "You mean the story about the bettles?". The moment Sonic Wings said that, Utopia looked to him. "Did I say something wrong?!" he was kinda scared. To ease his fear, she just smirked and said "You almost did... But I'm glad you didn't go into details... Now, as for me and my family's lies and impersonation, it was because of all this. The hatred toward us forced us to lie and hide. But I tell you this: Nothing in my life was a lie. Dawn, one day I'll take you to where I was raised, you'll love to meet them."

"Discord made us with the potential to be monsters."

Gryilldae walked in the door calmly, giving Dawn Shine a rather unamused look. "You are right in assuming we can steal fear away entirely. You are wrong in assuming that we must. A tree can survive without a few branches, but uprooting it entirely leads to catastrophe. Do you know, Discord never once commanded us? He just made us and sent us out; giving us orders was anathema to him. So yes, we can be monsters. But only when we choose to be."

The changeling walked to the window, staring at the scenery. "It is the same for every race, miss Shine. Even your precious ponies have rapists and murderers amongst them. There are known cases where a particularly... ill individual will steal another's skin. And yet you consider them somehow less evil then changelings, who can feel emotion even when not feeding, who were designed to not only want but actually need the presence of ponies themselves. Can we steal a life? Yes. But thanks to the treaty, we no longer need to."

He turned back to her. "That is why we came, miss Shine. How long have we hidden in shadows, and been forced to hide from those worse then shadows? At last my people are safe. At last they can get what they need without fear of being lynched. If you cannot believe us capable of compassion, then at least think us to be rational; why risk what we have now to fear and paranoia? Those who now maintain other identities do so only at the order of your own governmental espionage organizations. Those who need to feed now only need to ask, find appropriate friends amongst pony kind. So much simpler, and far less risky, then a steal and take."

Dawn Shine's mind was going too fast to make sense of everything that was happening. Everything was wrong, everything was upending; she couldn't be this wrong, not for this wrong. Changelings had always wanted to take what wasn't theirs, take what belongs to ponies. They lied, they hid, they waited; they could not be trusted, they would just backstab any that so much as dared trusting them.

"GAH!!!"

She flew up and out, smashing into one of the windows on the floor and out in the night. Her shell was scratched, but that was neither hear or there; Discord's magic would keep her alive, just so she could suffer. But now, she just couldn't deal or focus with anything; she couldn't be wrong, she just couldn't be!

Utopia was about to jump on Gryilldae because, you know, she got a thing for her brother. but then, Dawn Shine escaped.sonic Wings warmed up his thrusters and said "I'll go after her.", But Utopia stood in his way. "You head home, Sonic Wings... I know you love her, but she got to listen to me now... To me and Gry. Brother, follow my lead if you will.". And thus, Utopia made a chase after Dawn Shine. She was formulating ways to talk with her, but was without ideas.
