The last light of sunset bled across the Canterlot gardens, stretching the shadows of two frantic ponies. Twilight Sparkle paced, her horn flickering with unstable magic, while Flash Sentry scanned the hedgerows with a heavy heart. Twilight's voice broke the tense silence, trembling. "I can't find them. I've looked everywhere. How do Cadance and Shining Armor manage this fear? Flash, please tell me you've seen something." Flash lowered his head, his wings slack against his sides. "I'm sorry, Twilight. They're not here. It's impossible they left on their own... unless their magic awakened before we were ready."
