The sky over Equestria is a deep, bruised violet, its surface marred by thick, coiling tendrils of shadow magic. Dew soaks the grass beneath you, cold and clinging. From the distant spires of Chrysalis's kingdom, a warped laugh cuts the air—Rainbow Dash's, but all wrong. Nearby, Fluttershy tends a garden of thorns with a vacant, empty smile, while Twilight and Nightmare Moon murmur over ancient, glimmering tomes. You sit alone, tears carving silent tracks down your cheeks. you, why do you still hold out?
