Always Taking a Leap of Faith
Rainbow Dash blinked.
She was standing, her forelimbs pressed to an empty gold pedestal in the center of a dimly lit room of metal. All around her, the eight entrances of the Tower opened to crashing waves of seawater beneath a tempestuous night's sky. Out one entrance—directly across the pedestal from her—Yaerfaerda loomed, but it was different than before.
Rainbow had to squint.
Yaerfaerda now resembled a tiny speck. What's more, the distant beacon was pure white. All the lavender was gone.
She was so fixated on this that she didn't notice what was happening to her surroundings until somepony alerted her.
“Rainbow! Look!”
Rainbow gasped, spinning about.
All around her, ruby light was funneling through the grooves between each gold plate, illuminating the ancient metal from within. A loud groan issued through the structure, and soon every gear, pulley, lever, and cog inside the place came to life. What's more, Rainbow felt gravity shifting, and soon water splashed wildly past the gaping entrances on all sides.
“It's sinking! Rainbow, we have to get out of here!”
Panting, Rainbow galloped ahead, having to duck in order to narrowly avoid pendulums swinging past her skull. The deep bass salvos of the tower had been utterly replaced with a dull hum, but it didn't matter for long. Soon everything was completely replaced with the penetrating roar of rushing water. It had risen high enough for Rainbow's hooves to splash through by the time she reached the end of one of the entrances.
She teetered on the edge, gasping as she stared straight down. The tower descended swiftly, its support structures vanishing, and soon the fountaining seawater would be up to her knees. Nothing but turbulent seas surrounded her. The electrical bolts left the metallic surface of the tower completely, filling the clouds overhead so that they brimmed with constant lightning. The hellish ocean's surface glowed with a sheen of reflective ruby light.
Out of options, Rainbow stared down into the churning waves. She gnashed her teeth, trembled, yet prepared for the inevitable dive—
“Rainbow, are you crazy?! You'll drown!”
The pegasus' eyes twitched. She jerked back, trembling.
“You have to fly, Rainbow!”
“But...” Rainbow whimpered, muscles spasming as her tail dipped into the rising waters. “But I-I can't...”
“There's no time! Now fly!”
Water lapped at the edges of Rainbow's feathers. Growling, she lunged forward, flapping her wings...

This is great.
...Who?
.... Yay! She gets an actual imaginary friend!
Let's call it Applejack.
So............RD now has a fairy-orb-thing-like-Link-has following her around?
"Hey! Listen!"
I knew it! It's Sweetie Belle from TSC!
I just asked why lavender?! And you render my question moot.
Thanks.
WhothewhattheWhothewhattheWhothewhattheWhothewhattheWhothewhatthe Help my brain PLEASE!
. . . I'm sorry WHAT? Now she can fly? Oh! Maybe the lack of magic was all in her head? . . .
. . .
What am I saying?

5784066 Don't even freakin joke.
I think that would break my mind. Skirts has really been Wanderer all along. The ULTIMATE alt account.
5784481 At least that would be better than having Lyra with Rainbow all this time.
Do a barrel roll!
Something freaky is happening, and I don't know what.
What is even happening? Where did the lavender go? How can she possibly fly?

Hey, cool, my sinking tower theory was at least half right!
I'm so confused! I need a drink.
Twilight Sparkle has been reborn! The becon is white for Rarity! Abandon story! Shit IS going down!
Who is actually speaking to Rainbow here?!?
Did. . . . Rainbow just go mega man on us and absorb one of her friends back from death?
. . . Holy shit, what's going on? Is it who I think and already know it is? Ugh, I hate that I went and accidentally spoiled the story for myself. But hey, it's totally cool for right now.
So, im not the only one who thinks that the Lavender represents Twilight and that by Yaerfaerda changing to white, theres a chance of Rarity. Callin it now: Applejack/orange is the last color/character for yaerfaerda to cycle through.

Fuck TVTropes.
What.
The return of Twilight Sparkle, from beyond the grave...
[insert dramatic Halo music here]
And now she can.
First off... who the hell is talking to her? Secondly, awesome! Looks like she's made the Grand Choke less... Choke-y and just grand. Overall, I think I'm a bit confused by what happened between this and the previous chapter. I shall get it cleared up eventually though, so that's a good thing.

Run, Luke...Run!!
This actually makes sense. She's been tulpamancing since the middle of the desert
Who the....
Those speech patterns... that earnest and excitable voice...
The lavender colored light ...
WHAT.
The only voice I can read "Are you crazy?!" in, within context, is Twilight Sparkle.
No, seriously.
And, judging by popular comment vote, everyone agrees it is Twilight too.
Awesomesauce!
