“Everyone ready…?”
>You draw your spear and influence it with your magic, and everyone else readies their weapons by example.
>”Let’s go find Twilight!”
>”I hope she’s okay…”
>”Let’s get on with this so I can get a new drink!”
>”Anon, you better know what you’re doing..”
>”Iron Will will take on anything in this weird-lookin’ place! Have you ever seen Las Pegasus? Nothin’ scares me anymore!”
>”Anon.”
>You look back at Gable, who directly gets your attention.
>”You better be careful. I mean it.”
>Gable has the most experience with battles and instincts, so you know to be ready.
>You walk forward with the rest of your party behind you, and the orifice opens up like an automatic door, shrinking into the wall all across the circular opening.
>The violet light turns a bright red as it opens, and you slowly approach the inner sanctum of Cadance’s Palace.
>The entire left side of the room has been blown apart, revealing the cold rushing air of the side of the castle and the Crystal Empire, lush green fields a stark contrast to the black and edgy appearance of her bedroom.
>You glance back at the doorway, and this side of it has an amalgation of pods that look like they’ve been smashed together, but the liquid in them is a burning red.
>This must be where it’s all getting manufactured.
>Your eyes come back to the front, and even you hold your breath at the sight.
>In the center of the room stands Twilight, and her brother Shining Armor, completely crystallized as if they were statues, and a look of horror frozen on their faces.
>You can still feel magic coming from them, so they aren’t dead.
>That doesn’t make the shock any less dull for Applejack and Pinkie Pie.
>“TWILIGHT!”
>They start to rush to her aid, but you stop them both instantly.
“Wait…”
>Your eyes then avert to what’s in the back of the room.
>There’s something behind the veil of the bed.
>...Two of them.
>You have to tread very carefully.
>You need to get Twilight and SA free.
>How do you proceed?
