A click could be heard from behind Steel, and a shatter of a vase as well. Not at the same time, but close enough. Lovecraft meanwhile opened a door, the hinges well greased and silent as she did so. The servant staff here were amongst the best in Equestria. She slipped into a room and closed the door silently behind her, then slipping underneath the bed. It was a tight fix, but she'd been in tighter. The meanwhile the hallway looked as normal as it ever did, not even a sound or a peep other than the click and the breaking vase. Her nose was starting to bleed prolifically again from the strain she was putting herself under.

Which would make for an interesting thing to freak the guards out of their skins. They'd be looking for a killer and an intruder. This would get the whole castle in an uproar. Perfect.

Steel jumped as the door slammed, getting to in record time thanks to his wings. However, before he could open it, a vase shattered some ways off; far too quickly to have been done by the same pony, and a teleport would have been too noisy to cover up.

Sounds, everything was making sounds; and where had all that blood come from? Was it the intruder's? Had something happened to them? Had they happened to somepony else and they had hid the body with their magic?

Steel's hooves when to his head; the magic was literally palpable in the air, and it was affecting him. Being a non-magical pony, the pegasus wasn't exactly... used to magic. He couldn't say that he hated it, as he knew that it made things so much easier, but he was also somewhat hesitant about accepting it as something for him. And this much magic, it was putting him too far over the edge that it was just too much.

It was too much.

Too Much.

TOO MUCH!

"DAMMIT!" He screamed. "I want to help you! They will kill you, they're afraid of you, they think you're Discord, or from him or something! They still remember the Chaos Day and they won't listen to you if you tell them otherwise! Just let me help you!!"

As it turns out, the most prominent sense in the pony body was exactly what you'd expect: sight. Thus, even when things started breaking behind Steel, I noticed a door open and close out of the corner of my eye, and while he went to scream at inanimate objects I entered the room.

"He's right, you know. If you come out and explain yourself, there's a good chance we'll be able to help you. However, if you keep making things difficult, that possibility goes off the table. Now, I know you're in here. There's only one door, no windows, and me. Come out and make this easy for everyone."

Damn it. She had forgotten to illusion the door so that it looked like she wasn't opening it. This migraine was really getting to her thoughts. She'd really hoped to get through all of the guards in this day. As well as Luna and Celestia as well. Luna was more important though. Luna didn't have any planned outings for awhile. At least not that Lovecraft had heard about it. It was now or never. She brought her tail to her nose, trying to staunch the blood.

Would they help her? Would they really? Lovecraft was highly doubtful they would. Even if she said someone else needed the mane hairs and that she was working for them… They were bright ponies. They might read through the lie. They already had reason to suspect her. But what was this about Chaos Day? Discord? Only a day? Man a lot must've happened during her 35 years lost in the Everfree. The elements of harmony must've really lost their zing. She would have to read up on them.

Lovecraft was silent, drawing her magic back so that it only encompassed only the room. Hiding the fact that she was the monster under the bed. Her horn hiccuped, causing a loud bang in the wardrobe as the cloths fell off their hangers. "Pardon, if you were to know of my plansssss you would try and ssssstop me, even for my good intentionsssss." Lovecraft supposed she could be categorized in Chaotic good… But the mere word chaotic didn't fit her. Her plans were trim, efficient. Not chaotic at all despite the outward appearance that her plans would wreck. All for the best.

There, a voice, they had whoever this was talking; and that was something. Steel, still overwhelmed by all the magic even as it receded, flew clumsily toward where Blackflame had entered, and then staggered as he entered the room.

Buck it, he was just going to say he hated magic after all this was said and done.

"I'm not going to lie to you." He was panting, still trying to get over all the magic that had affected him but still soldiering on because that was what he was meant to do. "There is a chance, if I have to, that I'll try and stop you. But, when I joined the guard, I swore an oath to to everything within my power to protect Equestria; now, you don't break into the palace for a little reason, so I'm guessing it's something big. If you have plans, and they are indeed of good intention, then... then I don't care who or what you are; if you're trying to do something good for Equestria, then I will do all that I can to help you.

"But you have to trust us; otherwise, you'll be labeled a terrorist and executed for it. Just please, we want to help!"

I grinned as Steel came in; the colt always knew exactly what to say. He looked like he went through hell in the process, but he didn't seem to be in any physical danger. That relieved, I turned back to the 'empty' room.

"He's right. If you come with us and tell us what you want, we can probably help. If you don't, you'll probably die. So, you want to come out now?"

!,500 years, and to die here? No. It wouldn't happen. They couldn't hold her. They didn't even know what they had under hoof. "Lets start with a little foreplay here gentlecolts, there's information that for which without would make no sense. Have you perhaps yet heard of Morpho, Changling Queen of the Tribe of Fear? It is relevant you see, to the matter at hand, and the creature I work for." If they caught her up on this she'd fess up. But it was unlikely by her mind. To meet the master mind going about their own dirty work, to have no underlings. That was a rarity. But her work was of a highly delicate nature.

Lovecraft crept out from underneath the bed, rolling her shoulders as she stretched them out.

Steel's head swam, even as he struggled to decipher her strange speech patterns; he wasn't thinking clearly right now, and it was making understanding her difficult. "Look, M'am; I'll confess that all I know about Changelings is to pull back farther on my bow and to aim for the joints for better penetration with my arrows. Speaking of which..." He moved slowly, first putting the bow down, then gingerly removing his quiver and setting it down as well.

"A show of good faith." He paused a moment, staggering and having to brace himself against a wall. "S-sorry; I don't do well with magic and, well, you've been using a lot of it on me. Anyway; M'am, you claim you're working for the good of Equestria. If that's the case, then we're on the same side; so, please, let us help you; in any way we can. I just want to make sure that nop-" he shook his head "that no one, gets hurt."

Gah. He had to go for the show of goodwill. Well, guess I have to follow suit. I put down my swords where I could still reach them in an instant, in case this all went south, and turned back to the room.

"I've heard of the queen, yes. She's returning, but that is a problem for the guard, first and foremost. What stake do you have in it?"

"For one I live in Equestria, for another so does the dragon I work for. She feeds on fear, and so it has come to their mind to give something that does not have mind enough to fear. Only greed. I talk of greed-growth, and this dragon will do it. Whether I am imprisoned or not, able to help him or not. It will happen. Only without what I have to bring to him." Half truths. She did live in Equestria. And she was working for a dragon. She was working for the dragon blood within her to tap into the full power she really had. Morpho would find herself facing more that she ever thought.

"I need a mane hair from everyone in the Cantorlot castle, and a feather from Celestia and Luna. As long as they are within the dragon's hoard, when the time comes they will come to no harm, and those that try and take and harm they who be in its hoard will suffer mightily."

"Okay, okay; now we're getting somewhere." Steel wiped some of the feverish sweat he was getting off his forehead.

This was a nightmare, there was no getting around that fact. The last time a Changeling had invaded Equestria, things had very nearly ended badly for everypony involved. Admittedly, it was also because of the fact that Shining Armor had been far more in love with his bride to be than a lot of the other guardponies considered healthy, but the point still stood on it's own.

As much as he didn't like to admit it, but the stranger was talking sense at the moment. They'd likely need something like a dragon to take out another changeling army; since they couldn't rely on some overcharged spell powered by love.

"Just, well, one thing I don't understand." He gulped down some spit and blinked a few times, his head was still light and at this point he just sat down. "I know- I know the Princesses have a reputation; but they're really not all pomp and circumstances, Celestia in particular. Why couldn't you just ask them for those things? Or at least TELL them that an army is coming to take over."

A few more pants. "And could you PLEASE drop the spell? We're unarmed, I'm sickly thanks to all the magic you've been pouring out, and you've probably got more than enough power to take us both on right now if you've been doing all this. Just please, I really can't take much more of this."

I shrugged; the illusion was annoying, yes, but more like a fly buzzing around my face rather than being in a sauna, which is how Steel looked.

"We have a dragon, Steel. On the other hand, he's been in training for a while, trying to get back up to snuff on current events, and another one couldn't hurt." I turned back to where I figured the being was. "Okay, so suppose you're on the level. How do we know what's going to happen to those articles when you're done? There are a lot of dangerous spells that can be targeted with hair and feathers. Your response?"

Good, they'd bought her half truth hook line and sinker. Half truths were the best lies. Now that they were sold on the idea that they couldn't stop it even if they wanted to, she felt more at ease to drop her illusion completely. And by completely, that meant everything, revealing her bloody tail and the profuse nose bleed. She'd been using her tail to keep most of the blood contained when she'd run out of tissues on her venture. It was surprising she was even standing and conscious, but love was a powerful thing. And she had experienced first hand the mind buckery of Morpho. To see that unleashed upon Equestria and know she had done less than her best? She could never live with herself.

If Morpho wasn't defeated then everyone in Equestria would suffer. She had to be crushed and killed to never rise again. If not quick? Then the fear would rise to levels that would make her invincible. She could push through anything for the sake of Equestria.

"They'll be dipped in oil and ready to be set ablaze to reverse the spell and eliminate the hoard when the time comes that Morpho is beat." Lovecraft had thought this out completely. "As for why I didn't approach Celestia… I figured that someone else from when we met Morpho would've told them." Particularly Anduriel, who had spent a fifth of his life in sentinel over a lifeless place all on Luna's request. Admirable, but she knew she would never do such a thing. Life was shorter for her, and she wasn't so unhealthily obsessive over one pony. Seriously, that was unhealthy.

"And as for the rest, for not telling them of my plan… I have tried to avoid them over the years, so I don't really know what they're like." She'd met Celestia every once in awhile, seeing her in events. She seemed amiable, but Lovecraft had never talked to her. Amiable to ponies. She was a first generation kirin, only half. Takh loathed them, Pyralis had created an entire nation that would rather through them to the murderous and wrathful claws of Takh rather than stand their presence, and Celestia? Well… She had always assumed that the deity would be just as b***hy to first generation kirins as all the rest. It was what she'd come to expect out of the deities.

Not an open hand, but one that would crush her for her very existence.

Okay, she was a Kirin; that went a long way in explaining the strange speaking styles. And at least she had dropped the spell; so Steel Wing no longer felt like he was going to suddenly collapse. "Th- thank you." He panted out, managing a grateful smile at least.

But there was still the matter at hoof.

"Then whomever was going to inform us never did their job; because the guard hasn't been on any more of an alert than usual. So you might want to talk to them about that. As for meeting with Celestia..." He thought for a moment, on how best to describe his princess. "Well, if the rumors I've heard about some of the dragon and kirin gods is true, I can't blame you for avoiding her; but I can swear on my own life, the life of my father and on my mother's grave that she's not like them.

"If anything, I'm convinced she hates being an alicorn and would much rather be an Earth Pony or something. She's kind, she's more than a little silly, and she's always willing to listen to anyone. Hell, if you went there and explained all this to her, I could all but guarantee she'd give you a royal pardon for this whole mess and probably agree to your plan to help."

Yeah, about that...

"Actually, Steel, we've known for about a week now. We just kept it under wraps. For every pony that knows about it, there's a higher chance that somepony will freak out and make her stronger, so only captains and above were alerted. We've been on a very controlled DEFCON two for a while now." I turned back to the kirin, glad that I could see her for what she was now. Geez, why do I keep turning around?

"You say you're using the hairs as a hoard, and it'll be destroyed when you're done. The hairs are also going to keep their original owners from being attacked...Very nice. You plan to make a dragon go into greed growth and unleash them on the changelings, a la the Incredible Hulk, eh?"
