The deep was a strange place, even Derek could admit that. Deep underground, she could feel the gentle pressure of attention on her at all times, as though creatures just out of sight were watching her.In Equestria, perhaps they might be. Even after years of time to grow up here, learning as much as she could about the natural magic of the place and its residents, Derek did not feel as though she had any real confidence. It felt as though every new lesson with Iris might add new information that completely…-

Silver Star should’ve been able to tell the story of Moonrise in exhaustive detail. This immortal visitor from the past would see the folly in hiding, return to the princess, and mention his name in gratitude. He’d finally get his color, finally get the chance to study and excel as he knew he could.Unfortunately for Magpie, his knowledge of history consisted of “the things he’d overheard.” “That’s when Lord Commander Steel Wing expanded the army in preparation for invasion,” he explained…-

Hayden realized the north was changing the moment she saw weather-ponies lounging around the square by noon, instead of their distant specks in a desperate battle against the clouds. Layers of ice sloughed off rooftops, and the streets began to clear. A day or two later, the great waterfall after which the city was named began to roar with life, creating a background hum that never quite went away.Most important of all, though, was that the city was still there. Icefalls had not devoured itself with…-

Jackie returned to Meliora with necromantic blood still clinging to her body, and a swirling aura of nervous urgency to her every step. For as little time as she had arranged to spend in City Hall over the last few days, her ponies there were getting on remarkably well. She could see no signs of violence, or of violent coup. She had chosen her leaders well. Better than you did, Alex.She landed on the balcony, folding her wings quickly and striding past a few confused guards. “But aren’t you…” Umber…-

She kept still, fearing that any second might bring him back to hear everything they might say.He still might be listening. There are probably cameras everywhere. But even if he did plan on watching them eventually, there had to be something they could do to talk privately. Kyle did remember a few symbols for sound in her instructions.But that would have to wait until she got her…-

Velar feared he might be kept underground until the conflict had ended—maybe the entire thing would be over and he would only discover the victor after the fact.Apparently his cooperating with Starlight Glimmer was starting to pay off, because instead of shut into a cell, he was led through the caverns.It was beauty like he’d never quite seen in Accipio. Caves that had grown spectacular formations of crystal and gemstone, with walkways elevated above the floor and lit with strings of electric lights…-

Harlequin learned something that night. As it turned out, not everything she did had to be taught to her by the Swarm. She remembered this process, though the bug who had done it had been barely alive by her current understanding. Feeding on Codex and transforming him was something she never could’ve done without Hydrus.Every second she worked, she could hear Codex’s voice in the back of her mind, chastising her for how insane this was. You met him for five minutes. Why didn’t you let him die?…-

Blake soothed his anger at the helm of the Bright Hawk. He might not know its operation half as well as Galena yet, though he was learning quickly. But he needed to do something to keep himself busy. Otherwise he would keep replaying that trip to the ruins in his head, until the frustration boiled back over into anger against his friends.They were right, obviously they'd been right. Maybe if they'd all been armed and trained to fight, they could've won against odds like those. Maybe if they knew their…-

The servants kept bringing her meals, though even Basal was subdued.When the next day came, still there’d been no retribution for her, though something had changed. Whenever Jamie pressed her head against a wall, or lay down in bed, she could hear a persistent,…-
