Stardust*

With a quick nod to Aria and determination in her eyes she bolted off with a quick flap of her wings. She darted through the air, the wind in her mane, she was loving every second of it. She got to the docks a lot quicker than she anticipated, scanning the area she saw the griffon. She swooped in a bit closer to make sure it was truly a griffon and not somepony they should avoid. When she was satisfied with the knowledge she darted back to join Harcourt and Psych. Flying beside them and passing on the message. "The griffon is there, she is waiting on the farthest dock. Remember to present yourself. I am going to fly ahead and get the ship ready. By the time I am done everypony must be ready." With that she flew into the darkness out into the bay to her fog covered ship. This is not going to be easy, but it is our beginning. We will win! Stardust started to work in the pale moonlight, pulling anchors and raising sails was much easier than it had been before. It will be a lot easier to get the ship to dock with this much wing power. It should only be a matter of 15 minutes, I do hope that Aria and Trivy can get to the others and get here in time.

Stardust was nervous, she stood with her box as still as she possible could. She scanned the others and she could tell that they knew they were finally going to be whole again. She watched as Rarity took her place, she saw her moving her lips as if trying to remember something. She could hear a slight beat to the soft whispers that came from Rarity's mouth. Her horn began to glow the soft blue that it always did, she began to chant a bit faster, the glow of her magic grew brighter with each beat of her rhythmic chant. Stardust couldn't take her eyes off of the Mayor, she was mystified by such powerful magic. Then without warning the box that held Stardust's magic flew from her hooves. Floating in the air it opened, the gleaming blue light of Rarity's magic encased the small yellow glowing ball of light. The box dropped to the floor and shattered. Stardust was scared, as amazing as it was, she was terrified about what was going to happen next. She frantically searched the circle for Aria. As she found her friend a calm came over her and a she took a deep breath. As she let out her breath she felt the floor disappear below her. She looked back to the mayor and saw that she was being encased by her blue glow just as her own magic had. After a short time and hearing Rarity's chants grow louder and faster she witnessed her magic orb start to float closer to her, the closer it got the warmer and brighter it got. She tried to reach out and touch it but she couldn't move. She saw it rise above her and become wider. It grew and grew until it surrounded Stardust, the heat was almost too intense to bare. She wanted to struggle and get away from the heat. It continued to come closer and as it touched her coat she wanted to scream! The burning white fire that she felt was spreading across her body. She felt it in her mane, tail, hooves, ears, teeth. A burning so hot she felt it down to her bones. She was screaming, or at least she thought she was, her mouth was open and her lungs were burning but nothing was coming out. After what felt like hours, she was placed back on the ground. She lay still trying to steady her heart as it was beating so fast she thought it was going to jump from her chest. The blue glow began to lessen and finally it faded completely. Stardust blinked her eyes a few times to get her sight back. Everything was now so dark, she opened her eyes and she stretched her wings. She gave them a quick flutter and she shot into the air faster than she had done in a long time. It caught her off guard she hasn't been this fast in a very long time. She got her balance and looked down for Aria. She started to fly to her, trying to make a gentle landing and managed to mostly make it to the ground with minimal fuss. She felt better than ever before, she was so excited and the pain she had felt just moments ago was completely gone. In its place was bliss, pure bliss. "Aria, we did it, we are finally whole!" Stardust embraced Aria with so much love and happiness she thought she migh break her. She gently let go and nuzzles her. "I am so grateful you are here and my dearest friend, I don't know what I would have done without you all this time." She looked around to the others, "we should check on the others", she looked to the Mayor, "and, oh goodness! The mayor!!"

I'm a bit in between. I will follow as long as the leader is competent and not trying to question morality. Once things get out of hand or they are morally doing something wrong then I step up and take action, no one should be forced to do something that they don't feel comfortable with.

9/10 She's so sad!! But adorable! Just want to hug her!

When I was creating my OC I took what I wanted my life to be if I could choose any path that I wanted. My "destiny" and my love of the stars has been with me since I was little. I took that and then added my personality to her and threw in a back story of what I thought a pegasus would go through with some tidbits of my real life sprinkled in. I wanted something different, I knew I wanted "Star" involved (for obvious reasons lol) but .. starlight was too "bright" for my personality, same with Starshine or Shining Star, I thought maybe Star Gazer but that was only part of my love of the stars. I loved the mythology, constellations, the fact that they are so bright even though when we see them they have already gone out. Something that is part of me and everything else. I came up with Stardust. Just take a look at your personality, like a good long look. Think of something that is personal and means something to you. Maybe something like the first game you ever played that is sentimental to you. Something that is unique to you. Something that when you say it, just feels right. It could take a little bit, but that is okay. Also think about the way you want your pony to look, think about the cutie mark, and think about who the pony is. Then come up with the back story, create a story that forms to the pony maybe when you are writing it a name will just pop out. hope that helps.

Van Gogh's Starry Night Nuff said.

Everyone should have their box now. And @ I agree with Randi! Wow! Superb! <--- even my profile pic shows it lol

Are we waiting for Lilith to get to the others? Is there a guard looking for her? Or should we go ahead with the restoration of the magic of the ponies that will be there...maybe Lilith's magic will be transferred to her via Trivy after she is possibly given the bobble? Or.. I've got so many ideas! lol, just not sure where we are going just yet.

Did a quick drawing of my OC and a fellow OC. Aria and Stardust.

After entering the storage room, Stardust's ears began to perk up. She felt something that she hadn't in a long time. She felt hope, she felt strong, she felt relief. She saw that Aria had been carrying her and could tell that it strained her to do so. It was time to return the favor. She nuzzled her friend and then lifted her off the ground with as much wing power as she could muster. She could feel it, and as soon as they got closer she knew that Aria would be able to feel it too. She flew past the other ponies to catch up with the Mayor, Stardust gazed down as the Mayor trotted along the walkway. With each flap of her wings she could feel it pulling her. She knew this was it. She knew this is where it was. She landed and she could tell that Aria was not pleased, she knew how much she hated it when Stardust took her for a little flight. Especially without warning. "I'm sorry, but ... Aria... this is it. This is OUR magic!" The clear glass had shown a faint glow, Stardust was drawn to it, she took a couple hoof steps closer, the light behind the glass began to burn brighter, the closer she got, the brighter it became. "Come closer, I know you can feel it." Stardust felt like a filly again, she was filled with excitement and joy. Waiting impatiently for the Mayor, she could see her in the distance and could hardly contain her happiness. She tried not to shout, as she called to the Mayor, "Madam Mayor, over here, it is over here!"

Stardust, still a bit dizzy, she turned to do as Lady Rarity had said and started to the couch... she stopped suddenly and shook her head to try and clear her mind. She was able to start thinking clearly and walked over to Aria and sat down. She was still cautious of the Mayor and being foggy she felt safer to be close to Aria. "I do hope you are right Madam Mayor, because with the proof that I have been searching many moons for, is true and in this room. Then my research for these elements is true and we need to get to the kingdom as soon as possible so I can search for the element and the next part of the map." Stardust started to feel woozy again and had to lay down. "We need to know the rest of your plan, we have to be going as soon as we can." She looked to Trivy and her friends, and looked to Aria. "One last thing madam Mayor, you Have to give Trivy and her friends their magic back, and all of it, not part like everypony else." She looked to Aria and could see the anger in her eyes. "And you Have to do the same for Aria, she needs her full strength, I don't care about me, so if you have to make a choice, choose Aria." Stardust was done, she felt weak, she laid down her head and waited for the mayor's actions.

Stardust is feeling Very festive! <3 October!!

"I promise...but today is not that day. You have been quite patient with me these many moons. I only ask you to be patient a little longer." She briefly nuzzled Stellina's cheek in reassurance before addressing her other thought. Stardust felt her fear start to melt away, she trusted Aria with her life and she knew that if having to wait to understand then she would wait. "As for the Mayor doing this just out of generosity...It's possible, but improbable, if recent events are any indication. I'm inclined to say there is a reason behind it, but whatever the reason, I do not suspect malice in it." Stardust nodded and stood tall, just then...Trivy walked over to Stardust and Aria. "Don't wanna interupt your moment here but I think it's time we get our flanks moving towards the mayor's office." Stardust looked at Aria and shrugged her shoulder and followed Trivy and the others. As they walked through the Mayor's home it was almost as if she was having flash backs from a long time ago. At first just small things, she would shake it off, but as they continued down the hallway into the room where the Mayor stayed large memories were trying to flood her mind. She grabbed her head and couldn't focus on what was happening inside the room. She shook her head to try and get back to reality, with success she was still a bit wobbly and she came back to reality just in time to hear the Mayor speak to her. For now, we must find the next element of Harmony. But I have a feeling, you, Stardust, already have a general idea on where to look." She said with smug smile. - "And yes, I've been watching your actions for a while now." Stardust had a feeling of rage and indigestion from her weird reaction of being in the building. "I'm confused...what do you mean, you have been watching me??? But... yes... I do have information as to where one might be, and information to find more information as to where the others might be..." She was a bit apprehensive, but it seemed that the Mayor knew everything anyway so there was no need to try and lie or hide it. "But... if you are meaning that we are supposed to find these elements, then how are we supposed to get to them if you won't let us sail? We have to get to the Griffon Kingdom, and you have halted all ships from leaving the harbor." Stardust was a bit angry, she tried to suppress it. "I apologize Mayor....I feel a bit...off." Stardust had to sit down before she fell down.

Stardust was starting to take the harness off when Aria embraced her in a hug that she had received before. She could feel the love that Aria shared with her. They were bonded much more closely than they lead others to believe. Their sisterly bond would never fade and she squeezed just a little tighter, not much, but enough to let Aria know that she was so grateful to have her in her life. Stardust wriggled out of the dang taxi harness and walked with Aria to rejoin the group. They were there, at the front gate to the Mayors quarters. The guards conversed while the group waited and watched. "You know... I think I may have given Psych a heart attack, I noticed a couple times he looked a little sick, I might have taken a few turns a bit sharp." Stardust couldn't help but giggle as she whispered to Aria. "Do you think that maybe the Mayor is doing this out of generosity... or maybe something a bit more... I don't know... I don't remember much from the time I got my magic back, all I remember was you were there when I woke up. I want to remember what happened before we got here, promise me that one day you will tell me. Please Aria." Stardust knew how honest Aria was, even if it wasn't quite what you wanted to hear... she told it like it was. That is how she has always been, but that is what she loved about her. She could always count on her to tell the truth and she knew that if she promised to tell her that one day, she would. She never broke a promise.

"Are... Are you sure this will be safe? And can we trust those guards? They seemed rather... Mean... At the gate entrance to the city..." "Well... they didn't take my magic... and they let me come find you. I don't know, the stallion in charge seemed to be understanding." Stardust was zipping through the streets trying to make it to the middle of the crowded city. She turned down a street and saw the group of ponies marching down the other end. She flew a little bit faster to catch up, but heard a crack and creek of the taxi, she had to slow down to ensure the taxi stayed mostly in tact. She reached the end of the street and turned into the group. She flew up to the front to catch up to Aria and Trivy. "Aria, Trivy, I found Psych!" Stardust beamed. She landed and tucked her wings so she could walk with the rest of the ponies. She noticed the lead guard looking back with a funny look on his face as he noticed the taxi, he then looked at Stardust and gave a little smile and a small nod. She blushed a bit and gave a shy smile.
