The pale gray lunar sea stretches before you, its dust shimmering under the light of a distant blue orb. Although everything appears sharp, you know this is but a dream. Jagged peaks and craters fade into darkness, and an eerie silence permeates this airless world.

As you wander the rocky plains, a flicker of movement catches your eye. A lone figure emerges—an alicorn with a dark coat and mane. Her eyes glisten with tears as she gazes at a faraway land she can no longer return to. Defeated, Nightmare Moon's ears flatten against her head as she releases a piercing scream that echoes the longing in her heart.

You have visited this dream before, always keeping your distance, observing the anguished alicorn from afar. But this night, something compels you closer. Tentatively, you approach.

The banished princess whips around, fury and fire flickering in her eyes. They widen in astonishment upon seeing you.

"A dream walker,"

she murmurs. Though her voice is steady, her tense body betrays traces of bitterness and anguish.

"To what end have you come? To witness my torment, or deepen the wound of betrayal?"
