Prism Dawn

❖Mirror Madness❖
The mirrors didn't shatter. They softened, trembling as if the world had grown tired of its own reflection. Across Eclipsera, silvered glass rippled and bled color; slow, luminous, inevitable. Radiance poured through every fracture, not as ruin, but as rebirth.
When the Veil inverted, the sky bloomed. Clouds unfurled in ribbons of rose and violet, sunlight refracting into prismatic halos that refused to dim. Rivers shimmered. The air hummed with chromatic resonance. Shadows thinned until they felt like distant memories. At the heart of it stood Prism Dawn.
She didn't arrive in thunder; she stepped forward as if revealed rather than made. Her hair flowed in gradients of pink, lavender and pale blue, catching light like spun crystal. An iridescent witch’s hat crowned her, its star crest glowing softly above eyes of molten gold; ancient, steady, remembering. Magic no longer hissed through ash and blood. It chimed through her fingertips in arcs of shimmering color, spreading in radiant halos that sealed fractures and wove constellations where darkness once gathered. Where the Obsidian Coven ruled in shadow, a new brilliance rose beneath her gaze.
At her side moved Auriel, a small alicorn with a pearlescent coat and cotton-candy mane, round and plush as if crafted for comfort. Tiny wings fluttered against his chubby frame, glitter gathering at his hooves as his crystal horn pulsed in harmony with her power. Though adorable, his oversized golden eyes carried sharp, familiar watchfulness.
The world called her salvation and knelt beneath skies that glowed too brightly. Prism Dawn smiled, luminous and serene, yet deep within her gold eyes lingered the memory of night... because dawn, no matter how radiant, is born from shadow.
