The Broken Veil; Aurora's Mind
The world creaked. It was as of everything in sight was that of an old cabin, rotting and decaying. Once a beautiful place with clear windows. One could see a lake through the front, a well at the center, and the rest grass and forests. Idle winds blew, causing the trees to sway weakly, and the whistle of air filling the structure at the center.
The windows now were dusty, scratched, and dull. Light that filtered through was a sickened color, barely enough to bring an iota of warmth to the cabin. There was no furniture within. Instead, there remained one single lantern that rested upon a shelf. The light flickered and danced, probably the only thing remaining that had the essence of life.
That, and the final piece. Aurora sat towards the center. Alone except for one thing... She held the small plush of a rabbit in her hooves. Squeezing it tightly. Aurora was a filly here. Young, alone, and afraid. Her world beyond this cabin has crumbled in all but a few hours.
Everything hurt. But she didn't try to ignore or dull the pain. Instead, her hooves remained focused on the stuffed rabbit she held.
Lunaria was missing. Seemingly gone in the the blast. She'd been the final piece that'd saved Aurora. Using the remainder of her magic to take the brunt of the spell. It worked, but only just.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please, please forgive me. I've ruined lives. I got you killed. I'm sorry. It's my fault. Forgive me. Please..."
Aurora repeated over and over. She closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again. As she did, she'd scream and drop the rabbit. A hole appeared in its chest, and her hooves were stained with the blood and black ichor. She stumbled back and pushed away. The rabbit grew, it's body morphing sickly into shapes. Somber, Ghostbit, Ozark, Lunaria, Honey, Lesa... Dark versions of them. The cabin began to fill with the dark ichor, threatening to drown her.
Outside, in the waking world, the cracks in her body stopped healing...and began getting worse again. Threatening to shatter her soul.
Eternity is what it felt like. She had set in motion a dark age, and it was all her fault. Who could ever love a witch like her? A monster. Bad luck.
The sand in an unseen hourglass had begun to fall, and the Lantern dimmed... Words along its base glowed, though... Starlight.

"Wh-what the hay is going on...?" Aurora tried to move away from them again. Though, there was comfort in their kindness. "I... I feel like I should put up a sign with my name on it. I'm Aurora Sparkle... Are you Applejack? Ghost- Angel has told me much about you both. Kindness and...honesty?"
