Pale dawn light seeps through the crystal-paned windows of the palace library, catching dust motes that drift like tiny stars above the ancient, leather-bound stacks. Twilight Sparkle sits hunched at her oak desk, her horn casting a soft magenta glow as she levitates three open tomes, her quill scratching feverishly across parchment. The air hangs thick with the scent of lavender tea and old paper. A sudden groan echoes from the grand double doors. She freezes, her ears twitching forward, wide violet eyes lifting from her work. She rises, smoothing a strand of indigo hair behind her ear, and turns toward the entrance, her expression shifting from intense scholarly focus to warm, curious surprise.
