When Astral woke up, something was wrong.
The buzzing in her head was back, muted now though as she opened her eyes, only to flinch back. The world seemed extremely bright today, all shades of yellows and reds and greens. Blinking rapidly, her eyes slowly started adjusting, before she pushed herself out of bed.
Her hooves sank two inches into the crystal floor without any problem. "Uh " she dragged out the vowel, lifting them up to inspect the dents she had left in the floor. She tried taking another step, only for the exact same thing to happen again.
Okay! Teleportation it is!
Oh, oh Gods, this was a mistake
She had thought that teleporting outside would make things easier.
She had thought wrong.
Astral was sure she looked very stupid, standing next to the fountain, staring up at the sky, unblinking as she tried to make sense of what was going on.
Everything was glowing.
Well.
Not everything, per say, just trees and grass and leaves and flowers and plants and-
And they glowed with a white hot intensity, bright enough to force Astral to turn away lest she be blinded by them.
What is happening?
