"Twilight, I have a special test for you to accomplish now that you have become a princess." Princess Celestia declared.
"What is it?" Twilight asked.
"Please, wait here." Princess Celestia stated, before she trotted away from the room.
Twilight looked around once again; the throne room was just as decorated as it usually was.
Suddenly, Twilight heard hoofsteps. Turning to see the source of the noise, Twilight saw Princess Celestia carrying a mirror behind her.
"This mirror, Twilight, will allow you to see your greatest wish. I want you to look at it, and tell me what you learn." The Princess stated.
Pfft, just some mirror, eh? What could possibly go wrong? Twilight trotted forward and looked into the mirror. Unfortunately, the moment she did so, a whirlpool appeared in the mirror. Just a plain old whirlpool.
"Princess Celestia, I see a whirlpool."
"Oh, yes, a whirl... wait, what?"
Twilight cried out in surprise when she suddenly realized she was being sucked into the mirror. Before she knew it, she was spinning in circles - twisting and contorting in hyperspace travel - before she landed on the ground.
"Whoo, that was weird. Princess Celestia, I don't know what you were talking about at a-"
Twilight stopped talking for a minute as she took in her surroundings. Everything was different - she seemed to be in some kind of closet. Twilight got up on her hooves, and noticed a broom, a bucket, some towels lying around here and there, and a dust sweeper; besides that, there was a door in front of her, and a ventilation shaft above her.
"Where am I?" Twilight said to herself.
Where was she was right - because Twilight was about to have the survival horror experience of her life. Of course, before every adventure, the protagonist has to do something to start it off.

What does Twilight do?
(She opens the door and trots outside - Chapter 2)
Or
(She flies up to the ventilation shaft and crawls through - Chapter 3)
