Tracy settled back into his seat, watching as the lights of another world blurred by. His exhaustion was palpable, and the rhythmic motion of the train threatened to settle him to sleep. Far away down the distant mountain he could see little villages, surrounded by fields and orchards.“Am I losing you?” Rose asked, waving something in front of him. A glass, with steam rising from within. He flushed, realizing she’d been offering it to him. “Tea?”She nodded. “You look like you’re going to…-

It was as though Gilda had spent an entire lifetime blind. The monastery was an assault on her senses—so many strange and interesting things that she was unable to process them at once.It was divided into several buildings, built much more sturdily than many of the makeshift houses outside. There were no tents here, only sturdy wooden fortifications and burrows that were deeper and wider than most earth ponies could dig.Her escort took her first to a small outbuilding, where she left all her clothing and…-

Lainey Park sniffed at her dinner, taking in all the grassy smells. There wasn’t much of a smell, not compared to the fresh fruit and vegetables Olive had often prepared for them. As she walked, she was conscious of the canine form of Huan beside her, close enough to reach but never actually close enough to touch. There were now two full tables instead of just one, though theirs was largely empty. As she usually did, Lainey sat down beside Wanderlust. There was no Lonely Day today, no Whiplash and no…-

Go for a walk (52%)Way loved being out in nature.There was something instantly stress-relieving about a trip into the woods, taking away your sight of any nearby building or piece of infrastructure. On a typical trip you might not encounter more than a handful of humans for hours—or if you were lucky, none at all.Granted, she didn't usually take those trips late at night, when her breath came in sharp gasps and her tail kept flicking angrily from side to side while she walked.The backyard was large and…-

Kyle was entirely frozen, staring at a creature that certainly wasn’t her sister. The more she moved, the more the traces of how glassy and transparent she had looked faded. Her brain fought against what she’d seen, and already the memory of it seemed hazy. Someone changed into a horse—that was terrible, but it also wasn’t unexpected. Fay had already shown she had that power.She shook her head once, and when she looked again, she couldn’t see through Kara anymore. Her hair had a strange sheen to…-

Getting out of the window proved an interesting task for Shiloh, considerably easier than getting into the building in the first place. She couldn't get herself through the opening with any amount of physical force, at least until her repeated straining made her human illusion puff away. She stumbled onto the grass, then levitated up into the air, taking Briar with her. She flew straight up along the building, until they were above the roof and hopefully out of range of anyone who might be watching…-

Ivy didn't say anything for a long time after that. Amie waited, her whole body poised with nervous energy. She'd given this pony the power to destroy her, and by extension Wes as well, without even expending much effort. Maybe if Path got angry enough about his daughter's “subversion,” he might even push for an invasion of Camp Stella Lacus, dooming everyone there. The pressure was enough to keep her fidgeting in place, unable to sit still. Yet she wasn't ignorant—she watched the pony's emotions,…-

Roseluck settled uncomfortably into the seat of the car. This wasn't anything like the one she'd been practicing in. Tracy's had been old, but it also felt like something loved. Every change he'd made had clearly been to keep the old thing working longer. While that meant there were a few odd parts or things that didn't work right, the purpose was always clear.She stared down at the dash in front of her, and found no such thing to be true here. Every dial looked like it was stolen from some other machine,…

Even after hours of assault on the surface, her eyes still hadn’t adjusted to the brilliance of sunlight. Everything was washed out, colors drained away to a few feeble pastels.She was one drone among hundreds of thousands, a creature of black chitin and sharp teeth. She could fly, without having ever been taught to fly. There were others in the air beside her—creatures that were like her and also nothing alike. They were so much bigger than she was, and every time they spoke the things they said were…-

Shiloh found Briar along with several familiar faces, tucked away in an artificial cave. She should've been watching her back a little closer, because by the time she made it there, she was alone. Dominic had vanished into the forest, without leaving a trace. Except a faint, floral scent from where she touched him. A pair of red eyes appeared near the entrance, peeking out at her. Briar bounded forward, before settling onto his haunches and looking up expectantly. Shiloh drifted lower, until they were…
