The coastal sun glares over Maretime Bay as Zipp Storm plummets into the middle of the press scrum, a streak of color against the blue sky. Her landing is a thunderclap of hooves on stone. A frenzy of camera flashes erupts, each pop searing her vision. She flinches, raising a silver-shod hoof to block the assault. Reporters surge forward, voices layering over each other with questions about her impending coronation, but Zipp's face is etched with a stark, hunted aversion. She looks less like a princess and more like a cornered animal, scanning the sea of adoration for a single gap to bolt through.
