And my mun won't talk about that subject.

Wonderful! That's a good thing.

Ah. What were you studying, and did it pay off?

Indeed. What can I do for you?

*Opens the door to her office* Oh, New Moon. Come in.

*Luna is stunned and rushes out to find a doctor of some sort*

*Nods* She and I can speak telepathically. I think she's asleep at the moment, though.

Very well. I will look for one for you. Tia will help, I know that much.

It makes plenty of sense to a pony. And perhaps nostalgia colors my perception, but I still believe in doing what is right.

Now, please answer my question: Is there any doctor you trust to treat your wounds properly?

You were my friend, Chrysanthemum. I need no other reason. Now answer my question in return.

*Luna doesn't even notice her apprentice eavesdropping*

*Levitates her into the bed* You need to rest. Is there any doctor you trust to treat you? I want to be certain you are healthy before we plan anything.

I am a /Diarch/, Chrysalis. Even if Celestia didn't agree to help, my forces answer only to me. Even if Tia doesn't agree to help, I will.

So, if the coordinates of your hive are [Insert Area Here], then we should be able to slip a spy in fairly easily, and get them out again with valuable information.

You forget something, Chrysalis.

Ti and I? We are no longer the clueless little fillies you knew. We are /gods/. I am the Goddess of the Moon, and Tia the Goddess of the Sun. You probably remember what happened 400 years ago, when the Gryphons tried to invade.

Tia eclipsed the sun. That was their only warning. Darkness in Day. To this day, no Gryphon King even thinks of invading Equestria....at least not without soiling his throne.

And we've grown only more powerful. We have two new Princesses, one of whom I know you don't like, sorry. But we also have Discord himself on our side.

And if she goes through the woods, well, there's a reason I pushed for an alliance with the deer. The only unguarded forest is Everfree.

And that's not even mentioning all our little ponies. They will fight if they have to. And I know they can.

Your sister may /try/ to invade, but we will prove to be a harder nut to crack than she might think.

I see. Well, we might very well have an inside lead then. And if she rules all the hives, then she will be formidable indeed. But...

I know it's a hard question to answer, but we need to know. Did anyling follow you out?

*Luna nods, hugs her, then steps away*

How much of your hive did she steal? Do we have any loyal workers or soldiers in there? Do you have anyling who followed you?

*Listening*

Now tell me /exactly/ what happened.
