Ahem.
That relic actually belongs to the rocs, thank you.
Woona, it’s thanks to you that the hive has been saved and the rightful ruler returned to the throne!
Is there anything the changelings can do to repay you?
Aha! The pieces are beginning to fall into place!
The mysterious filly must have been making off with the relic she’d just stolen from the moon rocs—only to have it stolen again by the regent! That was why she launched an attack on the hive earlier!
She sensed the power radiating from the orb, and realized it was her key to taking over the changeling hive! With the purloined relic, her magic became so powerful that she was able to brainwash the hive and dethrone the queen!
And she would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling ponies!
