Dear Journal,Going under the sea for the portal home tomorrow. Will be with Kaelynn the whole time. See if I can find one of the locals to copy, looking like her would waste the chance. Friendzone? Nozone. Predictions not good for this crossing. Just like the one in that old city, some locals went through and haven't come back. Though at least this one was a few years ago, so maybe they just got unlucky. I'll pretend to sleep and hide from nightmares of waking up on Everest tomorrow. God that would…-

“I’m sorry sir. That volume is missing too.”They stood together in front of the circulation desk, with a stack of white cards in front of them. Every recent map catalog that might be able to give them a heading to the hippogriff homeland.The librarian was yet another creature that Theo could scarcely imagine existing, a being of strange transparent crystal with faintly glowing eyes. Granted, she could only see through the pony when the sun caught her just right, but… she wasn’t so sure she wanted…-

Changelings are enigmatic beings, largely unknown throughout Equestrian history despite coexisting with ponies at various points since its founding and likely before. Several of the ancient masters mention beings that are or might have been changelings.To our knowledge, the essence of no changeling has been incorporated into the preservation spell. Unfortunately, the clandestine nature of these beings practically assures a few managed to make changes insignificant enough that they could not be prevented.…-

The dense foliage surrounding the checkpoint swished gently as Phil, Rainbow Dash, and Starlight Glimmer watched from the shadows. Phil's body felt heavy, weighed down by the sham shackles around his hooves, but more so by the responsibility resting on his shoulders. Concealed within his hoof was the crystal shard—their only hope of rescuing the captive ponies.Rainbow Dash, her eyes gleaming with determination, leaned in close, her voice a whisper on the wind. "Remember, Phil, you're a disrespectful…-

It was a good thing Sweetie Belle had the entire night to think about what she would say next. She'd known this conversation would happen sooner or later. If she tried to make it later, her friend might just die of anxiety. Her little hummingbird heart could only take so much stress."If you can let me go at my own pace—and if you can be okay with being with a mechanical pony. And... if you can be okay with not knowing if it will work out. Nopony has ever tried to have a special somepony who was made of…-

Tracy's week off went by in a blur so rapid he could barely grasp it in his fingers. Technically he didn't have fingers for any of it, which was part of the problem. Spending so long in Equestria without stepping outside even once wreaked havoc on his perceptions. He didn’t have nightmares about being trapped with stumps instead of hands. Instead, he woke in a cold sweat Thursday morning trying to reconcile the thin, bony digits that grew from his hooves.How could they be so thin? How had he managed to…-

Harlequin’s trip back to the upper city was far less eventful than her flight down. There was no wave of magic following them, no other signs of spells radiating away from the palace.Under other circumstances, she probably would’ve been fascinated by the ingenuity of the gondola car. It was an incredible little invention, a safe and warm way for the ponies without wings to ride from one part of the city to another. The three earth ponies in the group kept well away from the windows, looking different…-

Kaelynn expected more resistance in separating out their group for this first expedition. Obviously, every human would want to go down to the Worldgate, which would probably make Galena nervous about being left behind. Or worse, maybe they should be afraid of getting their ship stolen. It wouldn’t be so bad as being sold into slavery, but for Kaelynn the result would likely be just as deadly.That wasn't what happened. They dropped almost all the way to the ground, low enough that they could extend a ramp…

Chapter 14It’s… kind of amazing you have time for this,” Jackie said, when she was laying down with her back against a metal headboard. The princess had chosen one of the identical beds for her at random. It was comfortable enough, but she found herself unable to enjoy it. Not when she knew what was coming. “Trying to help all of us, I mean. They tell us about you in Unity… the two of you rule this whole country. You’re like… half of the president. With enough time to be a doctor…-

The next few hours of travel were less eventful for Velar than he would have expected. Once the doctor had arrived and inspected his wounds, Starlight explained that she would take some much-needed rest. She would return here once they arrived in Canterlot, to help with his transfer to the hospital there.“How long am I going to be like this?” he asked, to the pony he trusted, not the doctor.Starlight only shrugged. “I’ve never seen someone get a bullet in the chest before. Not until the doctors say…-
