Introduction

A beautiful zebra mare stands in a small, dark chamber. She stands over a large cauldron humming a exotic song.

The tune is cold and haunting. It sounds as if sung by a creature in excruciating pain.

The door behind her slams open.
"My queen are you in here?!" A young guard shouts.

Her closed eyes open slowly,her ice blue gaze chilling, her humming coming to a stop.

She turns noting the guard had nocked things off the shelf's in his hast. She took a deep breath and stared into the guards eyes.

her expression cold as ice"I am,what was so important you needed to barge into my private chamber's and interrupt my work?"

The guard deflates his face going pale as he realizes the mistake he'd made "i-i'm sorry my queen! The princess was looking for you! She said it was an emergency!"

Queen mustara turned,her ice blue eyes glowing with power "very well."

She turned out of the small chamber into her lush bedroom. She stepped towards the door and called a maid from nearby.

"please tell my daughter I will be there momentarily."
The maid nodded her head in acknowledgement before hurrying in that direction.

The guard shakily bowed his head and quickly moved towards the door.
The queen stuck her leg out and pushed him back.

She shut the door and looked at him menacingly.
you will never enter my chamber's without permission again." the queen ground out her eyes blazing like fire.

"yes my queen! I sincerely apologise!"
The guard said bowing deeply in hopes for forgiveness.
"very well. Remove yourself from my sight."

As the guard turned away the queen grinned mischievously.
"oh...and one more thing mydear subject"
He flinched slowly turning back towards the queen"y-yes your highness?"

She gave a sweet grin. Her eyes began to flow brighter than ever before, the guard is unable to look away.

He never saw the blue beam come directly towards him.

Bleh this is really really bad:twilightsheepish:

Of cotton and cloth

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.

I know its terrible...but this is more then I've ever managed
And I'm to excited to be ashamed!

Torn stiches

A young woman walks down the bustling new york street her headphones in,head moving with the music.

No longer paying attention to her surroundings she bumps into someone.
She looks up "oh I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

The woman practically growl's at her "well watch where your going next time!"before flouncing away.

"Ugh bitch " she pushes herself off the ground before setting off towards her destination.
A while later she stops infront of a inconspicuous building.

She takes a deep breath,and walks in.
Inside is a single large room full of people.
A path through lies in the middle infront of the door.

She walks the length of the path before coming to a opening. On the opposite side of her is a table with another woman sitting facing her. She glares across the table and signal's another chair brought up.

"Please...sit Celeste."
Celeste takes a breath and steps forward.
She bows her head as she sits.

"Hello mother".
Her mother smiles a cold smile sending shivers down Celeste's back.

"You called for me mother?" Celeste slowly raised her head to look at the woman in infront of her.

Her mother's bright green eyes stare into Celeste's deep blue one's.
"I did. Aren't you happy to see me dear daughter?"

Celeste takes a deep breath. "Of course I am mother,but I have work in an hour."
Her mother hums."yes that silly little job at that small store uptown."

Celeste grinds her teeth. "Yes mother.that job"
Her mother's cruel smile falls, "yes well I'm afraid your going to be quite late."
She now wears a disgusted snarl.

"Do you remember that job I sent you on last month dear... daughter?"
Celeste looks quite confused. "Yes?"

Her mother stares at her again. "And do you remember the young boy you spared?"
Celeste's eyes widen. "Y-yes?"

Her mother closes her eyes. "Well that young boy went to the police."
Celeste pales. "what?.

Her mother stands her hands flat on the table. "Yes I assume you know the punishment from the look on your face."

Celeste's eyes fill with tears. "Mother..."
Her mother looks at her. Though her face remains passive, her eyes show sadness.

" I can not change the rules... Even if I wish I could" she opens her mouth again. "I- someone handle her." She says before turning and stalking away.

A man and a woman step forward. "Come on Celeste let's... Get this over with." The man says gently tugging her out of the chair.

Celeste walks with the pair the man beside her and the woman behind.
Celeste looks up at the tall man.

"Sebastian?" He doesn't look down.
"Don't Celeste. Please don't make this any worse." He looks like he's about to cry.
Celeste looks back at the ground. "I'm sorry."

The woman steps forward and pushes Celeste to her knees.celeste looks up just as the woman aims a small hand gun at her head.

Celeste looks to the man. "Sebastian...I love you... And I'm sorry."

His eyes wide he stumbles forward. NO!
_________________bang!________________

She woke up? "Hello? Is anyone there, I can't feel anything!"
She jolted as she heard a voice
"of course you can't feel anything your dead. But I can fix that. The question is, would you like me to?"

Celeste steeled herself. "What's the catch?" She heard the voice laugh. hah it is rare that someone asks that question. They normally jump at the opportunity for a second chance."

"Well I'd rather not sell myself into slavery accidentally." Celeste snarked back.

"hmm indeed. The catch is I need you to spy on the princess of Equestria.the voice said.

"... Equestria?" Celeste said sounding quite intrigued.

indeed my daughter has a feeling things are about to go very upside down and I would like to have all of the important information.

Celeste was quiet for a moment. "Okay I accept."

" perfect~the voice purred. There was a bright flash and she knew no more.

She came to on a train just as the conductor came to wake her up. Remembering her orders, she thanked him and exited the train.

She then talked to a mare about a job before being told the castle always had jobs open. After hearing that she turned and headed to the castle.

Nearing the gates the guards blocked her way. "Halt! Who goes there?"
She cringed. "I'm star chaser? I was told I could find a job here?"

The guard looked at her. "The only positions open are that of the newly reinstated night guard.
If that sounds like something you would be willing to do, any guard will show you to the barracks."

Star chaser gave him a weak grin. "That...sounds perfect!"
The guard looked at her. "If you say so miss, just head inside and ask for directions."

Star chaser bowed her head in thanks and made her way inside.
Making her way to the first guard she sees she smiles at the guard. "Excuse me? I need to get to the night guards barracks?"

The guard looked at her. "You inlisted for the night guard?"
Star chaser nodded and let out a strangeled "yep".

The guard froze, and then nearly fell on the ground laughing.
Star chaser growled. "Excuse me!?"

"I-i'm sorry! It's just... midnight is gonna destroy you!" The guard started laughing again.

Star chaser sighed. " Are you going to show me where to go or not?"
The guard took a breath. "Of course come-on this way."

She lead star chaser down a few twists and turns and they eventually came out into the training yard.

She turned to star chaser and pointed at a building in white and gold. " That's the day guard's barracks." She pointed to an identical building in purple and silver. "That is the night guards barracks."

She lead star over to the purple building and opened the door. "hey middy! I got a new recruit!. She yelled and then quickly dodged to the left star tried to do the same but was quickly bowled over by a thestral mare in armor.

"Eep!" Star panicked and bucked the mare off. She scrambled to her hooves and took an aggressive stance.
