An adventure through the untamed jungles of Cayari sounded exciting and wonderful in the abstract—until Lane actually had to do it. Within the first kilometer, he’d discovered his urban shoes did him little good against the mud, and within two he found that drinking water through a filter-canteen didn’t actually make it taste good. Elisa followed along beside him, her absurd stuffed-Pokémon now positioned securely atop her backpack, which combined with her jacket made it look almost like a…-

Eric was only a few minutes late to work that morning. Who could blame him—he'd been in an accident the day before, leaving his torso covered with a blossoming bouquet of black bruises. Then instead of getting any rest, he'd stayed up to care for the animal he hit. He thought, anyway.Kent could blame him, as it turned out. He'd barely made it out onto the line, gloves and safety-goggles in place, before Kent came marching down from the breakroom steps, past the three other packaging lines. He ignored the…-

Lane might not know how to teleport exactly, but she knew with perfect confidence that she and Elisa wanted to be anywhere but next to that helicopter. Suddenly, they weren't. There was a sharp crack, then a rush of air as they fell. Lane caught herself easily, spreading her body and slowing to a hover. Elisa didn't even have time to scream before she crashed into a bush of bright red flowers, crushing it and cushioning her fall. She rolled to the side, groaning from the impact.…

If Lotus's nighttime arrival in Equestria gave her a false impression of how different it could be from Earth, her first hoofsteps into Hono restored some of that initial sense of wonder.Its many houses and buildings were constructed in a rough semicircle around a large central square, stretching from one side of the village to the other. Though very few were built to any sane engineering standard she had ever seen. Most of those were in the center of the village, where a large wooden temple and various…

There were many paths through history. When Quinn was young, he had already known in his imagination what his route would look like. He could picture his challenging education, the eventual completion of some important academic discovery, before eventually navigating his way to lead a scientific team on one of the fancy tech firms. Maybe he would work for Silph, or end up on an orbital lab somewhere. Though he had little interest in children, he might adopt one or two for Avery's sake, so long as she…-

With more warning, the three of them could've managed a more sophisticated escape from the incoming helicopter. Hell, with more of her own powers Lane probably could've made them invisible long enough to get away from the building and hide until they left. But that was one of many powers she barely even understood, let alone mastered. They quickly dismissed a plan to run across the field of strange red flowers. None were anywhere close to human height, and the helicopter had clear view of them…

Lotus remained frozen, facing down the group of kirin. There were three, two about her own size and one a little taller. Yet compared to her, they might as well be another species. Their manes had grown large and vibrant, more like what she'd expect on a lion than her own modest growth. The scales emerging from beneath packs of supplies were polished shiny enough to catch reflected sunlight. Their horns had that same luster, like they'd been dipped in wax."You're... here for the book, aren't you? She sent…

Avery sat up on the rocky floor ahead of him, licking out a little patch of dust on her foreleg. Despite the animal activity, she never looked away from him for more than a second, her mind spinning. But it wasn't her fault he hadn't thought about what they would actually do here. She wasn't jumping forward and backward, but spent a whole second childhood growing up and mastering the abilities of her new body. How was she supposed to know that the mission wouldn't even be given to her…

If Lane hadn't been so exhausted, she would've wanted to follow Elisa through the ruin, in case some danger lurked that a human might miss. But she didn't have the energy to stay up for such a search. They made it through the door together, and she was already looking for somewhere to lie down. Elisa's pockets would've been fine, if she had any. But without one... This far from civilization, there was no sign the old building had been ransacked, as she might've otherwise…

Lotus lay beneath a field of soft grass. They surrounded her in all directions, nearly up to her shoulders in places. She found the contact strangely soothing against her coat, gently cool after the desperate pressure of their flight from the mine and battle with Searing Gale. In all that time—from the moment of her frightening accident to the transformation that followed and her desperation to master her new powers—she never dared to hope this moment would actually come.But here she lay, surrounded by…
