Luster Dawn stumbled after her teacher as they reached one of the hills far away from Canterlot, Equestria’s capital city that was crumbling thanks to its own citizens.

“Princess, I promise when I get bac-”

“You won’t be coming back, Luster.” Twilight said. The Elder Alicorn’s eyes drifted to the three crystals hidden in Luster’s bag. “I believe I told you to run, my student.”

Twilight gestured to the long outstretched land before them.

“Hide them. Run.”

Luster Dawn took a few steps forward as the sun passed under the horizon, she looked back at her mentor with dread.
