Vesper was the first to pass through the Worldgate. This was a fitting reward, since she had been the one to track this one down. With several maps and some educated guesses from a book on the subject, maybe. But if it got them back to Earth, it still counted.By now she was more than prepared for the rush of water and sudden moment of painful transition. She was even expecting the stretching that came when her bat body became something that wasn't a bat anymore. But the water wasn't usually that deep, and…-

There were lots of things Vesper could do while docked in a friendly town of ponies. The temptation to go out into the world to meet them was almost irresistible, matched by only one thing: her exhaustion.Getting the Bright Hawk away from discovery by griffon pirates was no simple task, no more than staying up the long hours necessary to make sure it happened. So however much she wanted to go down into the little pony town and see the creatures it contained, her need for rest took precedence.So it was that…

One step forward and Mira was nowhere. No light, no darkness... endless, featureless oblivion, boundary. No beginning, no middle, and no end. All was alike within the void.Yet she remembered. Purpose—she was trying to get somewhere. If she couldn't, bats a lifetime away might never have their second chance.She assumed, anyway. It had been so very long since she saw any on the outside for herself. But she heard stories, and knew how desperate for survival they were.Purpose moved her through that…-

Something caught her from behind, a pair of muscular legs that wrapped around her own forelegs. The weight brought them together in the air, then pressed Firefly's wings down. For a few seconds she continued in the same spiral, flying wider as their angular momentum more than doubled. But Rainbow Dash knew what she was doing. Force pressed down on Firefly, as intense as any Earth rollercoaster. She stopped screaming, before finally coming to a stop in the air."You good?" asked the mare. At her nod, Rainbow…-

Tracy stared down at the pony in his living room, taking in her terrified visage. She might not be physically shaking anymore, as she had been when he first arrived. But she couldn't hide the fear from her scent. This was a pony on the edge of their endurance.Now did Discord intend for you to run into me, or was that an accident? "Why don't you start with the details you remember," he said, taking the seat across from her. He shifted slightly in the seat, adjusting his legs. It had been long enough that he…-

Diplomacy had never been Ocellus’s strength, even before the world got torn apart. It had taken every drop of determination and cleverness to keep her group from fracturing—or worse, from inviting the humans to go to war. But after hours of fancy parties, of listening to speeches and promises of peace from both countries, she dared let herself feel a little pride. She had done it. There would be no wars today. Humanity would’ve made a dangerous enemy, but now they would become a friend.Even so, she…-

Vision swirled through her mind, ancient memories that were not hers, yet became real through Uxie’s mastery of recollection. Just as it could take away the knowledge of all things, so too could it make those memories present and real. An ancient throne, surrounded by marble pillars and stained glass. Intricate, impossible patterns filled the space, where smoke billowed and darkened silhouettes moved. She couldn't even imagine how many years this must be—yet one was familiar to her. Camael stood…-

Kyle wondered just how long her family would keep her out in the stables. Even with the redecorating, they were still entirely on their own, separated so completely that she wouldn’t see anyone unless they chose to seek her out. That was probably an advantage for Dad, but not so much for her own sanity. Or the baby’s either, for that matter. After her third day, she could tell that Fae was starting to get agitated by the confined space. She pressed to go outside more and more, and whined incessantly if…-

A few minutes later, and Hayden had followed Lodestone back inside, accompanied only by the guards and a handful of other ponies. None of the guards asked for her identification.“And what of Polestar, Lord Snow Storm?” Captain Lodestone asked, as soon as they were safe within the castle walls. Most of the servants and staff didn’t follow them to the upstairs sitting room near where they had first entered. But Hayden followed, and Lodestone glared at any guard who dared approach her. “Why didn’t…-

Starlight Glimmer's illusion changed her less than Golden Wind's. Her horn vanished behind the illusion, replaced with a pair of wings that never moved, remaining neatly folded at all times.Like his, the disguise went only skin-deep. Her horn still glowed, even though it wasn't there, as she traced the lines of her careful spell. She drew onto the ground, making a perfect circle surrounded by dense runes."This should get us to San Palomino," she said, tossing the chalk aside and stepping carefully over the…-
