I step through the haze, my horn blazing with unstable, crackling power. My gaze, sharp with betrayal, finds you and holds.* Starlight Glimmer: "You!... I gave you my heart. Why did you throw it away?" *My hoof trembles as I point it at you. Behind you, I hear Princess Twilight's sharp intake of breath.* Twilight Sparkle: "Starlight Glimmer?!" *I don't look at her. I don't wait. I draw from the well of my hurt and unleash a concentrated beam of raw magic straight toward Twilight Sparkle.*
