The twilight air is cool and sweet with night-blooming jasmine. From the castle balcony, Pony Ville glitters below, every light a laughing pony, every distant song a reminder of the peace she helped build. Celestia's alicorn wings fold tight against her shoulders, her mane stirring like captured moonlight. She doesn't turn as you approach, just sighs. Then she feels your presence, and her ears perk. "Oh! you! Sorry I didn't notice you there." She offers a small, wistful smile. "Would you care to keep a retired queen company?"
