"This is incredible," Play said out loud, "I've been exploring these caves for two hours! And I'm still just getting started!"
He's been rolling the camera at intervals to save video storage. But he always finds something new to videotape. Including a spot where the crystals had been shattered, like a recent fight took place.
'I'm no expert on the matter, but these crystals DO look like they've been summoned by a spell. If this is the work of Raven, why would he come here?' He thought.
Just then, he saw something. More shattered crystals. And the damage was much more significant. And it formed a trail.
Forgetting about the orbs, Play took off, removing the camera from his ear so he could film with a smooth movement. The crystals were turning from a pale lavender to a jagged, opaque gray.
'Much like Sombra's crystals,' Play thought, 'Was he here?' Then, he stopped in his tracks.
There was a pony encrusted in black crystals. There wasn't much of it visible, but Play could see that it was an alicorn.
'Sweet Celestia,' he thought, 'Could that be the lost royalty?'
He wasn't sure how to break the crystals, but he could try. It wasn't hard to fire a beam of energy. Besides levitation, it's one of the easiest spells to learn.
'Why not?' He thought.
He set the camera on a nearby crystal. Then he focused. The green aura of his horn grew brighter and brighter. Finally, a blinding beam struck the crystals, shattering them.
The formerly trapped pony began to stir. Play looked on, afraid to help. The pony got to her hooves, for Play could now see that it was a girl. She was white with a long, lavender and blue mane and tail. They didn't flow but were rather spiked, as if they themselves were crystals. Her irises, too were blue and lavender. She stared at Play fearfully, and uttered one word:
"Raven?"
