-Imperial City-

        Applejack, Rarity and Scale blade had made their way towards the white-gold tower. The city was extremely busy. Scaleblade noticed Sparkling Star, Emporers Stormcloaks personnel Mage. As usual he was looking upon what he called "Hte filthy rats of the city". The guy was mad for power and if Stomrcloak was to step down or resign, Sparkling Star would be. The first to beat anyone to the throne.

        "Ah, Governer General Scaleblade! I didn't expect you to get my letter so soon!" Sparkling hollered.

         "What letter?" Scaleblade didn't remember getting a letter recently "Well it probably doesn't matter, I need to speak with the Emporer."

         "Funny you mention that Governer General because he is what the letter is about," Sparkling announced with slight sadness in his voice "Come we'll speak of it inside the tower."

         "Okay. Applejack, Rarity, we can't let you guys in for security purposes so you can just explore the city." Scaleblade explained as he entered the white-gold tower.

         Rarity and Applejack just stood there. They knew the should probably go do something but they don't know what to do. "Applejack, I do beleive I am bored."

         "Me too Rare's."

         -West of Rorikstead-

         Rainbow was fending off a small group of imperial loyalists. There were only three and they only appeared when Rainbow and Invisible were about half a mile away from rorikstead. Rainbow managed to injure ones foreleg and he was limping now.

         "Die you Stormcloak scum!" Hollered one of the loyalists.

         "Get'em Rainbow!" Invisible continued to cheer her on.

         Rainbow slashed her sword as hard as she could, knocking the already injured loyalist unconcious she then focused onto the next stallion. He was better armored than the other two and slightly bigger so Rainbow knew he was going to be a tough one to get.

         "Hay little filly! Hehe!" His voice was low and sinister. It was intimidating.

         Rainbow took her sword and slashed it across his face. Scratching both eyes at which the grown stallion screamed like a filly.

         "Rainbow help!" Rainbow turned around to find the last loyalist attacking invisible.

         The loyalist must have been going at him for a while because there were tons of fresh cuts and bruises all up his legs and his jacket was torn. The loyalist took one final swing at Invisible and he was out cold.

         The loyalist then drew his sword into the air, getting ready to drop it on Invisibles neck. However Rainbow lunged towards his side with her sword out in front of her. Her sword peircing the loyalists stomach and poking a hole through the other side.

          Rainbow left the loyalist to make sure Invisible was still alive. As she ran up he showed no signs of consciousness but after a few seconds she realized he was breathing "Oh thank sweet Celestia!" Rainbow hollered at the sky "Alright were gonna get you some help."

          -Bravil-

          Twilight and Fluttershy had rented a room in the localinand were now sitting down to have lunch. Twilight had planned to travel north to the Imperial City. Maybe they would have better luck looking there.

         "So Fluttershy, there is a carriage willing to take us to the imperial city, but we need some sort of currency called a Septim. We could get a job at a cabbage farm outside the city." Twilight explained.

         "Okay," Fluttershy replied "I can't imagine what they are going through."

         -Imperial City-

         Rarity and Applejack were having a blast getting drunk in the local tavern. They would have scared all the other customers if they all werent drunk too.

         "Ya know Rarity? 'Hic' You my best friend and you... You 'hic' are a good pony to get drunk with!" Applejack stated to her friend.

         "Why Applejack, your not so 'hic' bad either 'hic' and now when I go get a sn-snack I'll get an apple 'hic' APPLES FOR THE WIN!" Rarity replied.

         "But only red apples, gosh darn green apples are for 'hic' Filly-foolers. Filly-foolers like... Uh... Like Applebloom!" Applejack took another swig of Nordic Mead "Damn that's strong stuff."

         Rarity got off her seat and stood up holding her beer cup in the air "Everypony! I'd like to make a toast! To alcohol! The cause of and solution to all life's problems!"

         All the ponies in the bar the replied with a loud "Yeah!" To which Rarity chugged the rest of her drink and fell over, followed by applejack.

        -White-Gold Tower-

        "So sparkling, when can I speak with Stomrcloak, I need his help with-"

        "Hes dead," sparkling interrupted Scaleblade "In the mean timewe have appointed a new empress, which Stormcloaks death will be revealed once she is ready to rule. I have called the entire Elder Council here to rule for now."

        "Wait, he's dead? Did you appoint his murderer? What if shes a Thalmor spy?" Scaleblade asked.

        "Relax she is a Nord, the Thalmor hate you nords so I think we are alright," Sparkling stated "What I need you to do is stay in the city until she is ready to take full control."

        "Alright, I'll see you tommorrow." Scaleblade left.

        Sparkling waited until there was nopony in sight, he then lit his horn with a bright cream color light. Then a small purple explosion at the tip of his horn sent him flying through a pocket dimension, within seconds he was in a throne room, decorated with lots of gold and marble.

        "Ah Sparkling Star! You've returned!" A pony at the other end of the room began to speak with a booming voice "What have you to tell me at this time?"

        "King BloodHoof! Emporer Stormcloak is dead!" Sparkling stated.

        "Really?" The King was shocked, he knew his spies were good but not as good as this "Did you kill him? Did you sink your dagger into his spine as his life slowly faded?"

        "No, a Nord mare did by accident and as Nordic law she holds the title of Empress now. However she isn't aware of many things about the Thalmor, we may be able to bend her stupidity to our will." Sparkling added.

        "You let a Nord take the throne!?" The King yelled. The got up and slowly walked over to Sparkling pulling out his sword when out of sparkling field of view. Finally he stabbed it through sparkling back and twisted it before pulling it back out and letting his limp dead body fall. A light purple essence then moved from Sparklings dead body to the kings.

        "Never send a wood elf to do a high elves job," The king stated as he prepared a spell which he aimed at the dead body. Then a blue light shot at the body as its wounds healed and it got up. It's eyes were a deep dark purple now, no pupil. The king leaned in to its ear "You will act as Sparkling Star. Manipulate the new empress to do my will and destroy the Stormclaok Empire. Long live the Thalmor."

       With that the highly Intellegent zombie nodded and teleported out of the throne room.
