Try a little longer, 45% “We aren’t going to come all this way for nothing,” Twilight finally declared. “But that doesn’t mean we have to put the Equinox in unnecessary danger. That means trying to dock with that ring or land it on the planet are out of the question. But that doesn’t mean we could learn more about them…” Maybe the planet was safe, maybe it wasn’t. They wouldn’t be able to figure that out from orbit, which was the tricky part.“Give me a little time to think. Until…-

Danielle always panicked right before casting the Earthbreaker spell.She paced around a patch of bare rock, in the most remote corner of Imperium where the sun rarely shone. Huge sections of Imperium had now been planted and cultivated, and none of those would work.Other ponies knew to stay away, as much because of the constant noise as because of the lumpy craters ripped from the ground and massive piles of rubble everywhere. The broken rock could never be used twice—something about the magic prevented…-

Hours later, little of that energy had subsided. Mira stood beside the tunnel where her commissioned stone was now buried, inspecting the quality of the concealing rock. The bats had done good work with this creation, covering the entire section with thickly-packed dirt blending together some of the larger rock sections.Passing along the temple corridor, she almost wouldn't guess that something had been there before.The ponies who had donated to help her craft that stone would be disappointed not to see it…-

At least Tracy was half right: Roseluck was just inside, glancing nervously at the door. She was so frightened in fact that she hadn’t actually prepared anything despite the time. A few cucumbers and some leafy green things that Tracy figured were probably healthy were arranged on the cutting board, untouched.“Is he gone?” Rose whispered, leaning to one side to squint around him.“Yep.” Tracy kicked the door closed with one leg, practically dragging himself in the rest of the way. “One nightmare…-

Reagan and Tabitha returned at some point that day. Lyra wasn’t exactly sure when—long enough that she didn’t feel so tired, or too anxious to stalk along behind them as they came inside. Tabitha went straight down the hall to the Sanctum’s luxurious indoor spa (her own addition, of course), while Reagan made her way to the kitchen.Lyra followed her inside, hopping up on the counter to watch as Reagan worked. Disinterested at first, until she took a fresh fish from the fridge along with a knife.…-

Felicity knew the moment the Varch'nai activated the ship's new communications device. Not just because the lights went out, and the ventilators all stopped blowing stale air. But Manny slumped forward, limp.She rolled out of the makeshift bed, beside where Delta was still sprawled. The former plant hadn't been able to keep practicing for long, but that was fine. She was learning faster than Felicity had.Then the lights came back on, and Manny sat back up. He hadn't been sleeping, just resting beside the…-

They didn't continue on to Saffron right away, as much as Lane wanted to. But just because she had exhausted all her strength while flying. There was no denying how wrung-out and tired her body had become. She needed the rest. Even Elisa, who had spent almost all of the trip safely inside the pack, needed some time to recover. Dominic just vanished, practically mid-sentence as he promised to see them again in the morning. "There are safe places to sleep underground," Cedar said, gesturing…-

Time passed in Hono. One day turned into another, while they waited for the princess to rescue them. Soon all three of them had duties to perform. Iron worked in the air, flying high to trim branches and other areas that the kirin could not reach easily. As soon as the kirin realized Gus couldn’t fly very well yet, they sent him off to work with the butcher instead. He was still practicing, and he would keep getting better.Gus didn't seem to mind that—if anything, he returned from each day of work with…-

Quinn didn't stay in Absentia for very long, even by the standards of the immortal Mythical Pokémon. Within a few hours of his arrival, he started sensing discontent from the Pokémon passing outside the little capital building where he, Stella, and Cedrin gave their account of what they'd done. Soon he sensed enough anger through those doors that he paused the conference to retrieve his daughter and keep her with him through the rest of their conversation. Vitari hadn't harmed Rose while…-

For the first time since she settled, Hayden slept comfortably. It didn't matter if the bed was small and she had to share it with some goo, it was much nicer than any hotel in the whole world. But then came a knock on the door. The sky outside was still dim, with only distant street lights peering in through the cracks. It was Holland, his voice low and urgent. "Hayden? I'm sorry, you need to wake up. We have to get back to the hotel before sunrise." She yawned, then floated up out…-
