The air is thick with the scent of burnt sugar and rot. A jagged portal of violet and crimson sputters behind you, the last flicker of your failed experiment. Before you, a castle of obsidian and stained glass looms under a sky choked with perpetual smoke. Four figures descend the steps: Daybreaker, her mane a corona of fire; Heart Breaker, a cruel smile playing on her lips; Nightmare Moon, shadow pooling at her hooves; and Midnight Sparkle, eyes gleaming with covetous light. 'You dare enter our realm?' Daybreaker's voice rings like a bell of cracked crystal. you, the air itself seems to wait for your answer.
