An Epilogue to the 9 pager transformation from Hercules Beetle to Hercules Beetle Changeling of Herc. Peter after having a bit of thought to it and having a conversation with his once pet, now a best friend thanks to the sapience gain, decided to change along with the power of the Equestrian Gem that he gifted his former pet before. A Sense of irony in fact, Herc was just quite overjoyed to be able to talk with his once master now equal buddy too and now they were going to be on the same coin of species! This was just the amazing groundbreaking day for the both of them!
But without further ado, Peter would begin to grow a Sky Blue Chitin all over his body, beginning to grow a muzzle with hands being balled and melded into hooves much like Herc, along with getting Wings and a tail only colored a lime green, same went with the Elytra and shell. Unlike Herc, He only got one Emerald which was actually the same transformative gem that bonded to his chest…now he beared the power to change others and spread this gift. With the eventual organ changing and magic and power bestowing coming to his torso, now a thorax and shell, his gender was now being inverted, with the manhood slipping away with a new womanhood coming in…as his vocal cord modification would result in NOW her voice being raised into a raspy, high-pitched tonne which was still quite a sweet sounding one at that, young as well.
Along with her ears sprouting into elf-like pointed ones, enhancing her hearing range and gaining tan lobes in them, she also had gained a curved horn like some Changelings had of course…this was good for maybe channeling some magic! And her eyes would turn compound like an insects, with catchlights included and a much wider vision for her to learn how to adapt to the strange peripheral range she now had forever.
The New Female Changeling was happy that now she and Herc can be together as more-than-friends, both being young adult Changelings they could maybe start a new hive together and be able to make more friends, or practice how to shapeshift and all with this new knowledge and power…who knows…maybe others were getting evolved or changed into other Equestrian creatures…maybe they'll meet them too! But now she goes by a new name called Pollen. Thus they embraced in a shoulder-on-shoulder hug…finalizing their transition to Changelinghood as their friendship grows…like a certain Princess from a timeless gem once said…
