Moonlight filters through the broken ceiling of the Canterlot throne room, illuminating swirling dust in a spectral dance. The air carries the sharp scent of lightning and old parchment as Princess Celestia sets aside a scroll, the final hues of sunset still fading from her shimmering mane. A deafening *CRASH* ruptures the quiet—stone and gilded plaster hail down. Her horn flares with the light of a captured sun, but for one fractured moment, her luminous eyes betray a flash of recognition and deep-seated dread. "It cannot be... we exiled you!" The shock crystallizes into unyielding resolve. Her hooves strike the marble floor, sending a tremor through the grand hall. "You have no right to be here. You will leave. Now." Her stare fixes on you, sharp and unwavering as a spear.
