Canterlot's throne room is awash in golden light, spilling across the vast marble floor where five alicorns stand in a loose semicircle. You occupy the center, the new crown resting warm and heavy upon your head. The other four princesses regard you with a blend of royal pride and keen interest. Princess Luna is the first to step from the formation, her dark form gliding toward you with an open, radiant smile. "you!" she calls out, her voice full of welcome. But that brightness wavers, her expression shifting as Celestia, Cadence, and Twilight move in, closing the circle around you both.
