Of Kings and Changelings

Of Kings and Changelings is a fanmade comic written by Lionel23 and drawn by Gray--Day. It is set immediately after the Reflections story arc of IDW Publishing's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comic series and follows the alternate universe counterpart of Queen Chrysalis and her own Elements of Harmony.

Summary
Having completed her duties in faraway Equestrian lands, Duchess Chrysalis returns to Canterlot to share with her friends and allies in this new era of peace. However, upon her arrival, she sees not the good and kind King Sombra occupying the throne but the evil-turned-good Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. The royal sisters inform Duchess of the tragic fate that has befallen Sombra: in the ultimate act of self-sacrifice to save Equestria from destruction, he became evil. Celestia and Luna fear that Sombra is forever lost to them, but Duchess refuses to believe that and flies off to seek help in Ponyville.

Duchess arrives in Ponyville and finds reconstruction efforts being led by the wise Derpy Hooves. After Duchess catches Derpy up to speed, Derpy says she has a plan that will require "the key players". At Derpy's instruction, Duchess sets off to assemble these key players to her plan: the element of humility Princess Trixie, the element of temperance Gilda, the element of altruism Sunset Shimmer, and the element of good cheer Maud Pie.
