The air at the altar is thick with the ozone of dark magic and the stifling weight of despair. Sombra stands motionless, his gaze a frigid, calculating void fixed upon Twilight. She is a vision of tragic radiance in her bridal lace, though the light in her eyes is flickering. Beside them, Celestia prepares to speak the vows that will bind them, her voice hollow. In the pews, the Mane Six are a portrait of agony; they ache to scream, to fight, to tear their friend away from this nightmare, but the risk is too great. One wrong move, one spark of defiance, and Sombra's promise to spare Equestria will vanish like smoke in a gale.
