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…-

“I can't believe we're actually doing this.”Lyra wasn't sure how many times she'd said it. Enough times that even her familiar grew sick of listening to her, and rolled his eyes when she spoke. Considering Capper was captive in the hollow of a large tree, that was saying something. The cat sheltered there, keeping his head far back enough that he wouldn't be washed away by the downpour of rain. It helped—she knew from their shared sensations that the cat felt dry while she was totally soaked. Lucky…-

Amie barely saw what happened next. Terrified ponies, an ambulance wagon, and dozens of guards swarming in from all sides. Rick's bloody form vanished behind a wall of armor, while others shoved her into a metal car.Beth's presence was almost as thoroughly removed from her view as the workers she usually used, so withdrawn that she felt nothing from her anymore. She saw the spear, felt the magic just as Amie had—and now faded into despair. But while she could retreat, the queen farcasting into her body…-

Amie and Tailslide passed together through the tunnel entrance, and out before the full might of Commander Path's changeling isolation force.They formed a semicircle in what had once been the gift shop. Unicorn magic or simple muscle had extinguished all the flames. Plush toys, snack freezers, and displays of old mining tools now lay scattered. Ponies formed a circular rank around them, with only the pair of unicorns and Path himself in the center.Unlike Amie and Tailslide, they were all armed and armored.…

Amie woke underground, surrounded by terrified faces. She sat up violently, alertness returning instantly. More like the spell itself was an attack, suppressed only by her pregnancy until that moment. She saw Tailslide first, then Mrs. Sobol, and at least a dozen of the “workers.” Despite their concern, no one got within ten feet of her, watching from well outside her ability to reach out and touch them. But it was the pony who spoke first. "She's awake!" He reached for her, then stopped short, eyes…

What did it mean to learn to fly? Charlie wasn't exactly a nature buff, so it hardly lingered too long in her mind. Maybe she'd seen a documentary on it once, but if she had, she didn't remember anything. It seemed like the sort of thing a flying animal would just know, enabling them to fly from the nest with very little instruction. It wasn't like birds had classrooms to teach that stuff.But even if that was true for birds—and she wasn't sure—it clearly wasn't true for her. Charlie could make her…-

“You sure you want to come?” Silverstream asked, her voice a little tentative. “I mean, it is gonna be late, and those legs are so short! If you want to stay here and sleep with the others…”“No, I wanna come.” She could tell her answer was a disappointment to the only other one of the mythical creatures who intended on making the trip—the griffon named Gallus. But he did his best to hide it, looking away and pawing at the ground so that whenever Silverstream glanced in his direction, he was…-

Rainbow Dash might not be able to read griffons as well as ponies, but even she could tell this wasn't going well for her. What was worse, griffons seemed to have their own version of the pony herding instinct. As her conversation with Gilda became more heated, Dash could feel more and more pairs of eyes glaring down at her. Griffons perched on buildings, walls, and fences, each one of them staring at her with harsh predatory eyes. Even knowing she was somewhere in Equestria, some deep buried place in her…-

Mirage circled around her, the way she sometimes did when Briar gave her complex instructions for a scene. Those dark eyes revealed little about what she might be thinking, and her mind even less. She was a dark-type—resistant or even immune to Shiloh's mental powers. Having her so close did unsettle Shiloh a little. Those teeth were sharp, her claws even sharper, and wherever she stood left a dark stain on the space around her where Shiloh could sense nothing. It was easy to see now why the kittens…-

Until meeting Rainbow Dash, Firefly imagined she was the fastest pony in all Equestria. Even with the painful reality of her limitations, she still saw herself as fast. She could move quick enough that she didn't even leave a blur behind.She crossed her apartment in a flash, moving well away from the ritual circle. Without Lilac to tell her what it would do, she wanted nothing to do with its contents, or the magic it might summon. It wasn't that she knew it would hurt her. There were just too many…
