Queen mustara trots out of her room pausing just long enough to wipe a piece of ash off of her coat.

Coming to a stop infront of her daughter's door,she simply walked in.

"sayida? Are you here?"
The queen walked fully in "MOTHER!"sayida fell from the ceiling and bounced of her mother's back and fell on the floor giggling.

The queen looked at the ceiling looking very confused."how? I- nevermind."

The queen shook her head smiling gently.
"what did you need me for sayida?the guard said it was urgent."

The young filly immediately straightened up her face settling into a grave expression.
"I saw something mother."

The queens eyes widened "what did you see sayida?"

The foal stopped,and thought for a moment.
"I saw the sun...being overtaken by the moon, a black alicorn laughing,and then a blue alicorn crying.

The queen looked at her youngest daughter "is that all?"

Sayida looked down shuffling her front legs "yes mother"

The queen simply smiled "it is alright sayida. This is so very helpful"
The queen nuzzled her daughter.
"I have to go your vision tells my that it may be time to send somepony to be our eyes and ears."

The queen smiled gently nuzzled her daughter before leaving the room.

She shut the door her soft expression falling. she hurried back towards her chamber. Dodging the pile of ash as she entered the room,she Immediately took a turn towards her closet.

Pulling out a needle,some thread,yellow cloth and orange and yellow yarn she began to work.

She worked deep into the night, enchanting the cloth with every stitch.
Combing the yarn until it looked and felt natural she added it to the doll as long and flowing hair.

She then added features such as the eyes and cutie mark. It wasn't until sunrise that she finished,looking proudly at the tall Pegasus standing before her.

She sighed"only two more things"

She trots over to the cauldron dumping it's contents into a vile and setting it aside.
She began adding things again including a piece of the dolls mane,and some of her own blood.

She stirs the mixture until it turns a luminescent blue before getting the other vile and pouring a single drop onto the dolls nose.

The queen the added the other vial looking pleased when it to sank and disappeared.

If anyone else had been in the room they would have seen the queen mouthing words as if having a silent conversation with the mare.

the queen walked of and laid down on her bed exhaustion filling her bones she fell asleep and did not wake till the next day.

The queen of woke the next day to see a very alive Pegasus on the floor, the mare was asleep but she could be seen breathing.

The queen rose from her bed and opened the door,calling a maid over "have a ticket to canterlot brought up."
Before slamming the door in the maids face.

The queen turned around seeing the tall Pegasus mare pushing herself up into sitting position.

The queen walked over."get up." the Pegasus stood her eyes dull and unfocused.

The queen stood in front of the mare.
"your name is star chaser"
Star chaser echoed the queens words.
"~~my name is star chaser~~".
Her voice completely monotone.

"you are a guest in zebafrica,you will be returning home to canterlot this afternoon to spy on princess celestia and report your findings to me."

Star chaser's eyes became more focused,her voice gaining a smooth elegant quality.

She bowed her head "thankyou for housing me these few weeks your magesty it has been lovely".

The queen smiled " of course so have you decided what job in the castle you want?"

Chaser smiled "yes I would love to be the princess's personal assistant".
The queen grinned. "oh that's lovely but look at the time! Your train will be here soon. You should go meet it!

Chaser trotted towards the door. "goodbye! It was nice to meet you your magesty!"

Star chaser trotted down the halls towards the gates, not noticing the stares from zebra's as she wandered the hall.

Nearing the gate she smiled at the guard.
The guard nodded at her and stepped out of the way. She smiled and continued towards the train.

Stepping into the train she made her way to a empty seat.

the conductor began to shout. "ALL ABOARD! THE TRAIN TO CANTERLOT IS LEAVING NOW! ALL ABOARD!"

Star chaser settled into her seat,looking out of the window. she looked out feeling very... something she wasn't sure what it was...

Star chaser was shaken awake.she looked up at the conductor, he smiled at her "sorry miss but we have arrived in canterlot".

Star chaser sat up and yawned "thank you" she said smiling at the conductor before standing and trotting off of the train.

She trotted down the street,looking at everything. She stopped at a small tent the mare inside was a light blue shade,
With a coral mane.

Star chaser stepped closer "hello!"
The mare jumped "oh! Goodness I'm sorry dear you startled me!"

Star chaser gave a small grin "it's alright! I shouldn't have shown myself in without saying anything." The mare smiled "well dear what can I help you with?"

Star flinched "I find myself a little low on funds,so I was hoping you could point me to a place I could fix that?"

The mare laughed "oh goodness yes! The castle could always use some help! And I'm sure somepony around here could use some help!"

Star chaser bowed her head "thankyou so much!"
The mare giggled "of course!"

And with that star backed out of the stall,and began on her way to canterlot castle.
