Funnily enough, all 4 ponies had the same dream that night.
They awoke in a place with only darkness beneath them, surrounded by fire. It roared and raged around them while something appeared in the distance. They couldn’t make out just what was approaching them, but it was getting closer. As it did, the ponies heard singing, screaming, and all sorts of orders being barked, and as the mysterious object got closer and closer, the commotion and noise got louder and louder.
