--
You are lying on rocky desert ground, the fierce sun beating down on you. You can't move. There is a grey unicorn mare standing over you, wearing a tattered travelling cloak and a silver diadem on her head. The diadem casts a few reflections on the inside of her hood. She has some freshly bandaged injuries.
There is a voice, but it isn't coming from the unicorn.
Voice: Silver, open their minds to me, and we'll put this incident behind us...
Silver: M... mistress, wouldn't it be simpler --
Voice: To kill them? Of course, my dear apprentice. But somepony might come looking for them... better that they just wander back from their foolish little quest a bit confused and without that tasteless artefact. It will all be... forgotten.
Silver: Ah, yes, mistress, very prudent.
Voice: Cast the spell, Silver.
The unicorn casts a spell...
