It would’ve been wonderful to fly directly to their destination and get everything over with. Summer was eager to reach that portal, and confront whatever reality waited on the other side. Whether she’d be able to continue her relationship with Sharp or not, whether the portal would even work—at least the endless confusion and doubt would be over, and she could see how the chips would fall.But there were some distractions too tempting even for her.It was after at least two weeks of gentle travel that…-

Silver was frozen in indecision, staring into the face of death. An unseen soldier shouted for him to come forward, and he had a good idea where that path would lead. Probably he'd be marched out to join the ones being executed at that moment. It was an obvious, inglorious end.I'm better than that. I can't change things if I'm dead.Silver closed his eyes, building concentration as he prepared to teleport. It was always about familiarity, and there was one place he knew better than any other. The world…-

Blake sat up, shaking off a few stray bits of ice. He took in his surroundings in a few moments, trying to remember how he had gotten there. He was at the helm, which had changed quite a bit since the last time he'd seen it. Great gouges were ripped right into the wood in various places, with the wood compressed from the tight grip of hooves.His own. The flight came rushing back to him, the sight of a gigantic flying fortress bearing down on them from behind. The pirates they had defeated weren't quite…-

Begin preparations, but wait for safety confirmation 45%“There’s no question in my mind.” Fluttershy finished. She sounded reluctant, as she had with every word during the presentation. “There is nothing in that land that looks dangerous to Equestrian life. There are no known poisons in the air, or water, or soil. The air has the right concentration of inert gasses and oxygen. And if you wanted anything else, look at the plants.” She flashed through a few more slides, showing the growth around…-

Jacob felt less confident the closer he came to the recording studio. He could hear distant voices, see studio lights shining down the hall, but that didn’t make things easier. What do I think I’m gonna do, tell an Alicorn she’s wrong to her face? Sunset Shimmer felt an enormous debt to him, and to the others who had rescued the imprisoned ponies. That gratitude was infused anew every time his magic saved one of her ponies. But that wasn’t the same thing as having the confidence to tell a pony as…-

Inevitable. The prison's designer thought its borders were fixed from the moment it came into existence. Did that mean she only had to wait, and Nightmare Moon would be free to help the bats of Equestria anew?Unless the ponies were right, and Princess Luna represented a horrifying danger to all other life.

Tracy had only a split second to prepare for impact. Needless to say, the collision ended up non-lethal. She struck him with both forelegs, but without much force. He fell sideways, with the bat crouching over him like a cat who had just claimed a particularly juicy rodent. Given their teeth, he could only be grateful that he wasn't a mouse right now. Did bats eat mice? "I didn't know there were any bats in... where is this?" She grinned down, one hoof rested on his belly so he couldn't get up. Not without…-

Lyra waited while the stranger finished eating. She’d never known hunger that desperate in her life—but she’d felt that craving from plenty of animals. While she ate, that strange spirit watched Lyra with the same curiosity. It flowed closer to her, circling her in the narrow confines of the cave. Even if they never touched, she felt the awful creeping of death following behind it. Her Spirit magic wouldn’t affect this creature, not without more knowledge of Death. What would she do if it attacked…-
