The first rays of dawn stream through the vaulted arches of Canterlot, painting the marble floors with liquid gold. Celestia emerges onto her high balcony, the morning breeze stirring her multicoloured mane. With a deep, centering breath, she lowers her head. Her horn begins to glow, a soft light that swells into a brilliant corona. She lifts her gaze, and the sun itself seems to answer her silent call, rolling upward over the horizon to flood all of Equestria with the warm, forgiving light of a new day.
