OK might be stretching a bit but like Joan of Arc representing god, is Blackbird, Charon of Dark, deliverer of bad souls to Hades (or Tartarus in this case)
Blackbird worries about her being a monster, but don't forget guys even she believes the filly to not be a real entity. This may be false but the Essence is not in it's true form so what it feels may not be a good representation of what it can take.

It's a creature of perception, with perceptive ability greater than Blackbird's mind (still based on its meatbag foundation) could begin to comprehend, the same goes for us. We can't fathom the first thing of what that being is - we can apply words and limited concepts to it all we want, but that doesn't begin to encapsulate a thing. Like how we can't hold every action and reaction performed in a single second in our mind, or even our own actions and reactions second by second over the course of a year - our minds immediately truncate this.
Trying to say it might not be so bad doesn't measure up. The truth is that Blackbird doesn't want to be seen as a monster, and that she also just doesn't CARE what she did to Night. Instead, she's justifying it to herself after the fact by saying "You're not real." even though some part of Blackbird - be it her rational mind or the first spark of her divine wisdom - knows full well Night is a real creature in some fashion and might very well feel a version of pain. Chances are these bodies are just representations, and Blackbird strangling Night like that was something else entirely, but the only way Blackbird could comprehend action and result. Her essence could be smothering Night's essence. The destruction of various levels of the superstructure of this higher reality might have collapsed as damage or collateral and that was the injury done to Night. Or it could all be illusion, we don't know. Just that this is the playpen crib of the gods.
If Night was a flesh and blood filly with the power to keep her from Dim and give her rape nightmares and try to trap her with her dead father, then Blackbird, in this situation, would toss her into a wall and strangle her for running her mouth and not helping her.
She'd just feel horrible about it afterwards instead of telling herself it's okay because Night isn't real. This is, at least, what I feel the tone of this chapter is telling us. Not that what she's doing is actually okay, but that what's she's doing is what she's doing and it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, it's what she needs to do to get what she wants. You could say it's fair.
Well let's see...
Threshhold guardian was Chantico, I'm thinking. Dim's been mentoring for a while now.
The 2 dreams and the introduction to the forge of fate were the Trials, which typically come in threes.
But meeting the Void was definitely Meeting with the Goddess, its own separate thing, since she received a boon.
I would assume if we're doing nearly every step that the Essence of Night is the Temptress, trying to push Blackbird away from completing the goal and failing miserably.
And the pillow fort and the Dim within is the Abyss, so soon we get some atonement on here

Eye see what you did there.
I, for one, fully support the idea of tossing the physical manifestation of an ephemeral concept against a wall, and/or strangling it to get it to stop being such a shit.
Grendel's Lair.
The point of no return. The threshold. I think.
