Dear Princess Celestia,I know I’ve never written about bits before—Something startled Twilight from her writing, and she jerked suddenly into a sitting position. It was Spike, standing in the doorway.“We, uh…” He slipped through the door into Twilight’s office. “Rarity’s here to see you.”“Let her in.” Twilight had already put away Regolith’s note—she wanted to burn it, but didn’t know if that might have some other consequence she didn’t know about.Rarity was wearing a…-

Hayden could feel her world crumbling around her. Victory had been almost inside their grasp, and now she could feel it slipping away.“Can we stop the ritual?” she asked, painfully conscious of the war drums echoing from all sides now. Even from the north, though she couldn’t be sure how the griffons might’ve got themselves around that far. “I’d like to get my bats on their hooves again. We can’t have most of our soldiers unconscious.”Avalon shook his head, not even looking up from his…-

Danielle found the appointed place for her first lesson without Harley's help, or the company of her friends. Eric's first day would bring his test, and no classes at all until after that. She had already seen Jacob's magic, and there was nothing of strength in it. So she found herself wandering the grounds alone, searching for some large gathering of fellow humans set up (for some reason) somewhere in Unity's orchards.Despite the great height at which Unity had been built, so high in fact that she had yet…-

Iris Vale had plenty of contact with ponies on the edge of sanity. In some ways, this was expected of members of the Lightless Star. Even those with years of experience, who dealt only in the path of Wisdom, would eventually be exposed to secrets that strained the mind to see. She got into the carriage with Lilac Empathy, expecting many of the same signs. Those whose eyes saw beyond the Gate, those who knew the Guardian of the Gate, had their perceptions altered in predictable ways. Her daughter did not…-

Jackie felt blood dribbling slowly down one of her wings. It wasn’t hers—she hadn’t been injured, at least not that she could tell. But just because it didn’t hurt didn’t mean that she hadn’t been damaged.She could still hear the gunfire, accelerator rifles firing straight into an unprotected crowd. You have crowd control weapons, you asshole. You already closed the portal. You didn’t need to hurt anyone.She longed for the days of Confluence, the great Central Compiler of the Enduring Ones.…-

Bit barely noticed the time pass. She scoured the vault, drained its reservoirs of reactants and catalysts, and brought them all back to the Wizard's lab. What had been his lab, anyway. The place that would become his lab again. She dredged out her transcriptions of the old notes, reviewing them with painstaking attention to detail. The process used to create her, the same one that she would now be forced to undertake, had stakes no lower than the translation process that had saved Pathfinder's life.…-

They didn't go home right away, or even that month.As it turned out, liberating a nation from years of occupation was a messy affair, with an awful lot of loose ends and rough edges. Kidnapped or not, none of Golden's fellow players were quite mad enough to demand someone help them instead of feeding starving people, rebuilding critical water supply, or getting the power back on.There were fires to extinguish, prisons to empty, and the guilty to punish. With the princesses occupied on such important tasks,…-

They stopped in an empty rest stop surrounded by forest. Jacob felt incredibly fortunate that there was nobody around to see how stupid he looked. Not that it matters. I won’t get better. “Hey!” Harley poked her head in the door, gesturing at the sink. “I saw garbage bags under there. Get one and come with me.” Her eyes wandered to Eric and Danni. “You two, watch the pony. Jacob and I need a word alone.”He followed her out into the rest stop, letting the familiar forest smells surround him.…

A ripple of fear passed through Amie's fresh hunters. A few stood up, shifting towards the doors. Only Rick and Beth were unaffected.Amie inclined her head to him, then gestured at the hall. "Outside. Everyone else, I'll be right back."Pachu'a followed her from the room, then down the hall to where Rain Fly had once made her bedroom. Inside she found a space more or less as she left it, with the possible exception of a few fresh claw marks on the wood. So Beth had been using it with her hippogriff…-

This was nothing new for Jordan.When his favorite (and really, only) hobby involved traveling all over the world to film, explore, and generally poke around in places he wasn't supposed to be, the police getting involved was an inevitability. Part of the way his friends picked their next destination came down to local laws and likely punishments if they got caught.The hippogriffs were friendlier than any visit to the police he'd experienced before. Instead of bright lights and little food, they spoke in a…-
