Everything was so blurry when Cadence awoke.
All around her were countless blobs of indistinguishable colours, mixing and meshing and colliding in every direction—all of them so bright, yet concurrently seeming to be delved into absolute darkness, making the phenomenon intensely weird.
An immense pressure bore down on Cadence’s head as she slowly awoke from her unconsciousness, the last fragments of her most recent memories gradually fading away from her mind. As she sat up, reality slowly sunk in, and she found herself awake. Dim light shafted through the distant ceilings, and her eyes seared as if they were being used for the first time.

Her pain was beyond bearable, and it only worsened as time went by. Surely, there had to be an escape point somewhere. The moment she saw light beaming through a distant crack on the wall filled her with hope.
But it was futile. Her magic starting dwindling and she could no longer hold herself up, as her body had reached its point of sufferance, and it collapsed upon itself like a house of cards. She tumbled to the ground, chest first, sending excruciating shockwaves of pain, leaving her immobile. Oh, how she wished she stayed at the pool of water, drinking it and resting by it, before embarking blindly through dark, unfamiliar caves.
The last thing she heard was an evil laugh, and the world faded to
