"In the ether of Celestia's mind, a light grew in the distance, glimmering and growing as it made its approach. The darkness was then speckled by starlight, and the advancing light revealed itself to be a shining geodesic dome of crystal and gold, encased in an aura of blue energy. Within the dome, a vibrant city could be seen. To the left shone the sun, and to the right lay a swirling blue globe blanketed by clouds, partially obscuring the landmasses below. The gleaming city in the sky bustled with activity, its ornate marble pillars and greenery containing the idle chatter of ponies as they went about their business. Elaborately carved statues watched over every district and vicinity of the city."
