Okay. How am I going to do this.

I was a hour from my destination and I was still thinking of a way to start my movement. Every idea had a chance or working, but there needed to be one plan that was full proof. Celestia's empire had to have a weak link some where in the chain. 

What if I..... Damn still nothing! 

I looked out the train window and saw the mountain top city in the distance. My heart beat quickened as I was tried to come up with a plan to overthrow Celestia.

What if I go in nicely and ask?

I dropped my head and stooped a hoof. There had to be a way to do this without getting myself killed in the process. Eventually I dropped the whole uprising idea out of my plan. There would be to much work to build up a force to rival the royal guard in skill and size. I would embark on this mission alone. There was no need to harm innocent ponies for my lover. If anypony was going to die or be hurt, it would be me and only me. The train was close to its stop and I could feel the brakes being applied. I stood up and used my magic to get the bags in the back of the train car. When the train came to a complete stop I walked out of my car and headed for a information center.

---------------   

I couldn't believe what this town looked like. The streets were clean, and ponies actually seemed nice. I thought the ponies in Canterlot were jerks. As I walked through the city I heard somepony yell from behind me. 

"You there! Stop!" 

When I turned around, a pony smacked right into me. The guards caught up to the mysterious pony who smacked into me and picked him up. 

"Terribly sorry sir. Are you okay?" One of the guards asked me.

I got back onto all four hooves and put a hoof on the back of my head. "Yeah I will be fine." I looked at the stallion in the golden armor and blurted out my next question. "Where do ponies go to apply for the royal guard?"

The guard looked at me and smiled. "If you would like to join, just follow us." 

We trotted through town with the pony they just captured until we reached the gates of the castle. The huge golden doors were opened and we continued into the court yard as ponies of all kind watched.

One of the guards stopped and tapped me on the back. "There is the recruitment center. It will take a while but when you are done, it will be worth it."

I trotted to the building at and walked inside. There was a mare doing work behind a desk. When she stopped and looked up, she just pointed to a chair. I took a deep breath and relaxed in the chair.

Well I guess some rumors about Canterlot are true. Oh well. 

"Okay sir I'm ready to help." The mare called out.

I trotted over to the desk and set a hoof on the back of my neck. "I wanted to apply to be a royal guard."

She smiled and grabbed a paper. "That's great! We are short hoofed right now and we need some new recruits." She said happily. "Just fill this out and you will begin training to become a guard. The training process is 2 months and after that you will be positioned to the station that best fits you." 

I smiled and took the paper back to the little chair and started filling out the little blanks. 

I have to change my name. I smiled when I thought of a simple name that would keep me hidden.

"Lunar." I said under my breath, 

I will become the best guard in Equestria. I will gain their trust then use my time to find a way to revers Celestia's spell. I just hope that I don't get killed before I get her back.
