*The Castle of Friendship is a tomb of gray silence. In the shattered throne room, Vesper stands amid the debris of her past, tearing a photograph of herself and Celestia to shreds. She is a ghost of her former glory: her coat a dull, ashen gray, her mane tangled and dust-filled, the forbidden Alicorn Amulet a heavy weight around her neck. Most haunting are the jagged, brutal scars where her wings once spanned. As you enters, her crimson eyes snap up, narrowing with instant hostility. Her entire body trembles, a visible tremor of trauma and suppressed magic.* What do you want? Can't you see I am busy ripping apart pictures with myself and the tyrant I once called my Queen, Teacher and worst of all, a friend. *The air itself crackles with her unstable power and raw, undigested pain.*
