The New Lunar Republic- Rebellion of The Solars

She landed at the far end of the city and looked around.

Quickly she's surrounded by four armed guards. The one mare of the group steps forward slightly. "Who are you and what is your business here?"

She glares at her angrily, "I do not understand how I am of no importance here..." she looked around, "Princess Skywriter."

"Princess!" He eyes go wide in shock, suddenly all four of them were bowing. "My humblest apologies, your highness, we had no idea"

"You may rise," the princess silently cursed herself for such petty acts of anger. They slowly rise. "Please come with us, your highness, Commander Moon will want to see you immediately"

"As you wish," she came closer.

The guards lead her through the maze of streets and to the steps of the elaborate town hall. She hesitates, then follows the guards to the steps. The three stallions stop, but the mare continues up the stairs, expecting the princess to follow her. Skywriter sees this and trots to catch up, walking beside the mare. Under her armor, Sky could see the mare was rather muscular, a bit more so than most stallions. She leads the princess to the large metal double doors and push one open. "So, where are we going exactly...? She asked as they walked into the worn down hall. "To the commander's office, your highness" She explains, leading Sky off to the side of the main room and to a smaller doorway.

"Ah," Skywriter looks around at the room. It was once dedicated to the Republic as far as she could tell. There where many torn tapestries and the dark blue carpet was worn down, but you could tell lots of effort was put into it to keep it looking the least bit presentable. She opens the door to reveal a rather well furnished office, and a grey stallion with a jet black mane asleep at a maple wood desk.

"Um...." the princess had a rather confused look on her face. "Erm... one second please" She trots in and shuts the door. A few seconds later the princess could hear a loud smack, then the door opens. The stallion was now sitting up, his right cheek having a bright red mark on it. Sky stifled a giggle and attempted to conceal a smile, knowing what had happened. The mare smiles at Sky from her position at the side of the desk. "Please come in, your highness, the commander will see you now"

She clears her throat and walks in, stopping at the desk. "Are all princesses so pretty?" He asks the mare at his side playfully, earning himself a smack to the back of his head. The mare smiles again at the princess, this time a more apologetic smile. "My apologizes, your highness, his mind is frazzled from his lack of sleep-" She turns slightly to the stallions. "-This is Princess Skywriter, she has been sent here to help end this little rebellion, sir."

The stallion smiles. "Excellent, how many troops did our dear Luna send with you?" The conversation finally coming back to the princess. "I was sent alone, the were in quite a rush, as Luna was in Canterlot."

He smiles over at his assistant. "One alicorn! Haha! The rebellion is over, drinks are on me!" He exclaims, smiling though his voice oozed with sarcasm. "Erm, I should check on the guards" The mare replies and trots out of the room, whispering to Sky as she passes. "Don't hurt him too bad, okay?"

She smirks at that and whispers back, "No promises." She watched the mare leave, then faced back to the desk, "I'm perfectly capable of fighting myself," she explains. He laughs a bit, smiling still. "That is an impressive skill! I never knew anypony that could fight themselves!" The princess pounds a hoof on the desk, shattering any glass items on the edge by falling to the ground. She looks him straight in the eye, "Don't you ever say something like that to me. Ever. Again. " she spat the last words, as if to conclude a point.

His smile still doesn't fade as he returns the eye contact. "Of course, your highness, I'll try to keep my comments to myself"

She stares at him still. She leans back, "I'd expect so."

"Now then, I'll arrange housing for you, it should be done by tonight... but for now we should get to work"

"Alright, do you have a map?" she asked. "Indeed" He taps a few buttons on his desk and a hologram map appears. The princess scans it over, "show me where the rebellion started, and where you think it might lead." He nods and presses another button. A couple red dots appear. He points towards a dot near the north of the planet. "It started there, all the other dots are places they have captured"

"Seems rather small. I believe it can be stopped before it gets too out of hoof..." she goes into deep thought, once again scanning the map, "Do you see any patterns?"

He shrugs. "They must have a leader with some military skill, they've struck at vital spots and left everything else untouched."

"Hm. How many are on guard here? Certainly you must protect all your battle plans and what-not." she frowned as she glanced around the room. "Most of our troops are out on patrol, the rebels have been spotted nearby... honestly what we need is reinforcements... hmm, your an Alicorn, how powerful of a Alicorn though?"

"I'm able to control the stars, I'm capable of harnessing the energy and using it against them. Or I could write a message in the sky to them. OH! And I can dream walk, make them afraid to go asleep and then your troops can strike when they are weakened. I have many other powers as well, those are just the ones that come to mind." she explained.

He smiles again and nods. "We don't have time to weaken them, if you don't mind, I'll send you and what ever troops I can muster off to the space port... we'll need that back if we are to turn this around"

"I can send a message to Luna right away, no need to make the trip back. Do you have ink and a quill?" She picked up a piece of paper. He nods again and moves the inkwell and quill over to her. "They will still need a place to land." Skywriter takes the quill in her magic and dips it into the ink. As she's writing, she answers him, "then just move them for now. Or at least move them when you know they are to come."

"Hmm, alright, I think we could clear some land to the south"

"Alright then...." she sends the letter off in blue sparks, "I've asked Luna for backup."

"Excellent... welp... we've got a few hours to wait, you could take a tour of the city" He shrugs.

"I guess so," the goddess walks to the door. "See yah" He waves and leans back in his chair. She heads out the door and walks down the stairs to the building, looking around.
