(A marble and gold stairway takes up much of the cover page. The stairway appears convex. At the top of the staircase is an ornate throne meant for two or three occupants. The fabric is off-white, and the throne itself is gilded. On the backrest is a pair of wings. At the foot, on the viewers left, is a foot stool matching the throne. Between the stairs and the viewer is a red rope, letting everyone know just how close they can get to the throne. At the top of these stairs are 4 unicorns.

Sitting on the left of the throne is a small, grey mare with nearly black points. Her mane and tail are extremely long, though tied back. She wears some gold jewelry on her emerald green horn, around her neck, and wrapped about her legs. She has a dress that is white on the top, with a deep pink skirt, and an ombre effect on the puffy sleeves. The collar and cuffs of the dress are black. One hoof rests on the foot rest, while the other hangs in front of it. Her expression is stern, with her deep blue eyes narrowed at the viewer, and one arm crossed over her stomach. Her ears are up, so she's at least willing to listen. This is Emerald.

To the right of her sits a lavender stallion. He wears a black tuxedo, with a blue vest and a tie matching the deep pink tone of the mare's dress. His mane and tail are fairly short, and are a pale blue. His hand is upturned and open, as he says something to the  mare. He seems to be trying to convince her of something, his green eyes soft and almost smiling. His name is Orrin.

Behind and to the left of the mare is a very tall stallion. His fur is red with white markings. His grey mane and tail are also quite long, with his mane being braided. The grey in his mane and tail fades to a lighter silver the further is is from him. His ears curve toward each other, the tips nearly touching. His horn is the same red as his fur, with a golden spiral ascending the outside of it. He wears dark grey slacks, and a navy blue, button-up shirt. His eyes are golden, and seem slightly different from the others. Almost slitted like a cat, with a faint glow to them. Like the mare, he's also suspiciously looking at the viewer. He's known as Kieran.

Finally, to the right of the lavender unicorn is a black stallion. He is also marked with white. This mane and tail are white, but touched with a deep red. This same red colors his horn. He wears the same clothes as the red unicorn. His dark red eyes are narrowed and, unlike the others, his ears are pinned back as he leans forward to whisper something to the lavender stallion. He is named Onyx.
