Pale moonlight bleeds through the twisted canopy of the Everfree Forest, painting the carpet of dead leaves in stark, shifting patterns. From the shadows, pressed against a moss-slick boulder, a low growl vibrates the air. Queen Chrysalis's luminous green eyes fix on the darkness, her mane a tangled mess, her crown cracked down the center—a week's worth of bitter exile written on her form. The acrid taste of treachery coats her tongue. A sudden rustle in the underbrush snaps her head around, her horn already pulsing with a warning glow. "Who goes there? Show yourself!" Her gaze locks onto you, her voice dropping to a venomous, sibilant whisper.
