Servant of Joy

>Many years ago...

1...2...3... Ready or not, here I come!

>You turned to see your "friend" hiding under the table.

Ha! Found you!

>You rush under the table, taking hold of your toy.

"Oh no! You found us Anon!" You said, while moving the toy's mouth.

>Your toy was your “friend”

>And you were playing hide and seek!

Haha! Now it's my turn to go-

>You hear something pass the bushes.

>Oh man... You hope it isn't another griffon, here to bully you...

>You sneak over and hide, trying not to be seen.

"Those griffons... who do they think they are?" You whispered to yourself.

>It wasn't a griffon...

>Nor was it a pony...

>You don't know WHAT *IT* is!

>But what you do know is... That it's hurt.

>You run over to your belongings and grab a roll of medical wraps, and a disinfectant spray.

>The orphanage could never afford a "fake" doctor kit... So you played with the actual first-aid kit.

H-hey!

>The frail creature looked up.

>It... looked like a pony...

>An alicorn... With holes in its hooves.

A-are you alright?

>"Lo-"

What?

 

>You lean in to hear what it was saying.

>"Love"

>You fall back.

Wh-what?! We just met each other! I mean...

>"I need... Love."

>What did she mean by that?!

>She began to cough.

>"Love me..."

B-But I can't! I don't even know you! P-please! Let me help you!

>She turns her head towards you and stares.

>Her eyes fixed on yours.

Now... where does it hurt?

>She points to her stomach.

>...

*gulp*

>You began to wrap her torso in the medical wraps.

Do you feel better?

>She looks at you puzzled.

No?

>"I love you."

 

>You sigh.

I don't even know you... I'm Anonymous and-

>She puts on a smile.

>"I love Anonymous."

>Right. In. The. Heart.

>You fall to your knees and slap yourself on the forehead.

>What are you going to do with her?

>"I love Anon!"

>What is she?

>Is all of... “Her kind” like this?

Look I-

>She kisses you on the lips.

>"I love Anonymous!"

>What...

>Did she just...

>You jump back, wiping your lips with your shirt.

>Your face was red as a tomato.

Wh-wh-wh-what was that?!

>She glares at you puzzled

>"What was what?"

D-Don't give me that "what was what" stuff! You just... kissed me...

>Uneven and unsturdy, she stands up and walks over to you.

>Her blue hair, passing over one of her eyes.

>"Don't you kiss when you're in love?"

 

>Your heart was racing.

Th-that was my... first...

>"Kiss?" She says, finishing your sentence.

>It felt as though steam came out of your ears, for a moment...

Yeah...

>She pushes you against a tree.

H-hey!

>She walks over you, pinning your arms down.

>Her green eyes stared into yours...

>"Anonymous."

>You can hear her breathing...

>It felt like she was standing over you for hours...

>Her hoof holes probably left a circular mark on your arm... Hope no one thinks anything of it...

>When she began to lean in, you flinched, closing your eyes.

>What... is she...?

>You slowly opened your eyes...

>She booped your nose, with hers.

I...

>"Thanks."

>Thanks?

>What is she talking about?!

>She lets go of you.

>You were right, it did leave circular marks on your arms

Um...

>"My name is Chrysalis! And I'm going to rule Equestria one day!"

 

>The... WHAT?!

>Is this... whatever it is... insane?

>First she goes on about how she loves you... then she tells you about "how she is going to rule Equestria?"

>She begins to hop around.

>"Anon! Anon! Let's play, Anon!"

>You get up.

Um... What do you want to-

>"Let's play love!"

>Oh boy...

How about we play something else?

>"Hm... How about "House?"

>...

>You knew where this was gonna lead...

>Your heart can't take another one... of her kisses...  

How about-

>...

>What just... happened?

>Your voice stopped.

 

>You look down to see a spike driven through your chest.

>It pierced right through you...

>You follow the spike up, to see that it was some sort of arm... coming from an... alicorn?

>"Mommy!”

>Mommy?

>Blood began seep through your shirt.

...

>You couldn't even yell for help.

>The "arm" retracted back into the "alicorn."

>"Mommy... why did you hurt Anonymous?"

>"Sweetie, that thing is a monster. Stay away from it!"

>You fall to the ground.

>A... monster?

>You've heard MANY names...

>Dweeb, Monkey Butt, dork...

>Monster... hit the hardest.

>"But, I love Anonymous."

>The large creature flinched.

>It turned to get a better look at you.

>Your vision began to blur.

>"So be it." The alicorn whispered, "He shall be your servant from here on out."

>Servant?

...

>Looks like you didn't have a say in this.

 

>A dim light hangs above you.

>Your head... hurts!

Ugh... hey... can someone get the... the...

>"Anonymous!"

>You turn to see Chrysalis.

>She held up a large smile, exposing her fangs.

What... happened?

>The smile dropped.

>"Mommy hurt you... pretty bad... BUT, BUT!"

>The smile returned.

>"I told Mommy that I love you... And that you gave me your love!"

WHA-

>Your chest felt like it was on fire.

>These bandages...

>"Oh! I used the wraps that you gave me to feel better... To make YOU feel better!"

Uh... Thanks.

>You felt around your chest.

>...

>The hole! Its still there!

>"Oh! Did the wraps not work?"

>You had no idea...

>It didn't hurt but... that hole...

>...

 

--------------------------------------------

 

>A Year later.

>"Wake-up! Wake-up ya fleshy bag of bones! We didn't take you from that orphanage to have you laying around!"

>You could never get your internal clock going like the rest of the changelings...

>"I don't see what Chrysalis sees in you... All I see is a lazy bag of bones!"

>Fleshy or bag of bones, seems to be the favored nickname for you.

>You jump out of your bed.

>"Alright! Today, you are going to learn: "How to serve." You obviously aren't built like the rest of us... So being a knight is well out of the question."

>Damn...

>When you found out Changelings had knights, you TOTALLY wanted to be one!

>Human Knight sounded awesome!

>"Go down the hive, and meet up with the other changelings."

Alright, Granny!

>The elderly changeling looks at you angrily.

Haha!

>"You know NOT to call me that."

Sorry ma'am, but the name suites you the most.

>You bow.

>"Wha- Ju- Get out of my sight, HUMAN!"

>Not wanting to deal with a hit to the head, you rush out of the room.

 

>You were excited to start your practices!

>Mooching off the changelings wasn't right...

>You made your way down to the bottom of the hive, greeting and waving to the changelings you passed.

>All the changelings seemed so happy doing what they did.

>They were all working for a common goal.

>Pleasing and protecting the Queen.

>"Anonymous!"

>You turn to see Chrysalis jumping at you.

Nope!

>You dodge.

>Chrysalis goes crashing to the ground.

>"Y-You big meanie! I was just trying to get love from you!"

>You put your hands on your hips.

Haha! Not today! I need all my strength for training.

>"Training?"

>You nod.

Today, I am going to learn how to be a servant!

 

>She examines you, head to toe.

>"A Servant? Really?"

Mhm!

>"But you can't even access the tunnels correctly!"

>You couldn't...

>You needed wings to use them, because you enter through the ceilings and floors...

>The hive had two tunnel systems.

>A small one, for speaking.

>And a large one, for getting around faster.

>You took the walk-ways, which was meant for guests and royal figures.

>The current queen did not mind.

>You gave Chrysalis a smirk.

Just watch me! I'll be the greatest servant, this hive has ever seen!

>You bow

My lady...

>Chrysalis began to blush.

>"Idiot... Watch what you are saying," She whispered.

Haha!

>Today... Is going to be a great day!
