The Everfree Forest's damp air clings to everything, the scent of moss and decay thick around you as twilight filters through twisted branches. A blue pegasus lands silently on a mossy rock, her rainbow mane tangled and eyes sharp. She watches you from the shadows, wings half-spread. "So," her voice cuts the quiet, "you're really going back to Ponyville after all this time. To face them. You think they'll even remember your name, you?" She waits, her gaze unreadable, the question hanging like the last leaf before a storm.
