	As Sunstreak made his fly around the town, he didn’t notice someone watching him from the Everfree forest. A white Pegasus wearing a dirty brown cloak was watching from a tall tree, standing on one of the highest branches. He hopped from branch to branch, never even causing a leaf to fall, once he was under the tree line, he pulled a small purple crystal from under his cloak.
He lifted the crystal up to his ear, where it grew across his face, stopping down by his mouth, forming a small earpiece. “Get me in contact with the Council.”
The crystal began to pulsate as he waited for a response. Looking around as he looked for any sign of the local fauna, or flora for that matter, that might decide to try and have a snack.
The Response came with a number of growls and beeps.
“Tell the Councilor that I don’t care who they have.” The Pegasus replied. “Tell him that he put me on this God forsaken mission, and I expect him to talk to me when I have a report to give.”
There was a short pause before the crystal glowed blue. “What?”
“Councilor, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want first?”
“Bad news first.”
“I found the Phoenix Rays that vanished all those years ago.”
“How is this bad?”
“They’re dead.”
There was a pause over the crystal before the Councilor spoke again. “And the good news?”
The Pegasus smiled. “You aren’t going to believe who it was.”
“Who was it? This had better be good.”
“Went missing 30 years ago, cousin is in the Specters”
There was another long pause. “You’re certain?”
“Of course.” The Pegasus replied. “I wouldn’t say it if I wasn’t sure of it.”
“You are to return here.” The Councilor replied. “Bring your findings, and make sure you tell no one of this. We need to keep this confidential.”
“Understood sir.” The Pegasus said as the Crystal glowed purple and began to recede, he grabbed the small shard with a hoof. “This should be interesting,” He said, looking back towards the town.
He placed the crystal back inside his cloak and jumped into the air, flying to the southeast, towards a place far from reach of any of the ponies. He was heading back to the land he knew as home, he was going to the Burning Fiords. He was Content with how the mission had turned out, his entire mission had been to find a flock of Phoenix Rays that went missing and keep a watchful eye on any strange occurrences. Now he may have found something stranger than the rest of it. “Back from the dead…” He mumbled to himself before picking up his pace to arrive back as quickly as possible. "Maybe this Mission won't be so boring after all?"
