Instantly, I feel the focused sensation of the moonlight abate, as if it were also knocked off-balance by the alien presence. The mare’s voice yells out again, but this time I detect fear in it’s tone, compromising the royal authority it carries. The harsh and bright green light I expected to see is more subdued and shadowed this time, filtering through the windows of the building and casting everything in an eerie gloom, as if it were the calm before the storm.
