Autumn Blaze led them to Hono's larger buildings. Lotus hadn't even seen it at first, concealed behind many layers of trees on the outskirts of the village. Up close it was impossible to miss: a castle, albeit of a decidedly nonwestern style. Its foundation was entirely of stone, rising up a few stories before floors of wooden walls. Each had its own steepled roof, higher than the last. It opened in only one place, where a pair of stern-looking kirin watched a gate into a tiny internal courtyard.…-

Quinn did not return to Absentia to find the refuge did not exist, because Mew and the offshoot species were living together in harmony. But if he had, maybe there would be some world-destroying paradox to kill them all. Instead, he found a city. Nowhere near as large as Starfall, or as advanced. But instead of shelters and tents with the occasional stone building, Quinn found a city of submerged domes and underground boulevards. Thousands of Pokémon lived there—many Mew, but more other things. Some…-

It wasn't as easy as Hayden anticipated to convince Holland to take her home. With every minute they spent arguing, she lost another minute she could've spent with her family. So, she threatened to teleport straight there, and he finally caved. The honored ancestors had beat the danger of deception into her—but that only applied to Mew House. Eevee house only had two members who could do that. Of course, she was disguised, so she couldn't sense the resentment and anger radiating from him…-

Amie stayed with him through the night. She helped with the painful preening process Tailslide had been putting off for weeks, watching as he tore out broken and damaged feathers, and put the rest in order. They talked over tea, then he finally collapsed into her bed of stuffed toys and pillows. She stayed with him for another hour, until he'd finally drifted off to sleep. She never dozed off for more than a few minutes before she was ready to get up again, brimming with energy. She watched him for a…-

Jackie had to give Misty a little credit—her little figment had taken her command to heart. “Bring everyone,” she had said. And now everyone was here.The leaders of Meliora’s councils, of course. Experts on war, farming, trade, manufacturing, terraculture, logistics, and religion. Queen Avery of the breezies, along with half a dozen of her closest scholars and aids. But there were more—apparently word was going around the Dreamlands that something big was about to happen, and so many other…-

Edgar loomed over Kyle. For a few seconds she was struck by just how tall he was. Of course Dad was about the same height, but he never felt half as intimidating. Edgar, though…She recognized him perfectly, but even so there was something strange and out of place about seeing him so close. He was supposed to exist in angry letters and half-heard phone calls, not the real world.“You’re not terrified of us?” Kara asked, sliding past Kyle without slowing for a second. She spoke with her same…-

Within the hour, the Purple Council had been convened. Faith thought the name was a little silly, particularly since it included her mother, who was black, and the princess, for whom a rank meant nothing. At least she didn’t have to force her way into the meetings. It wasn’t just her father’s name that got her in anymore—now she led the Gatecrashers.The meeting hadn’t actually waited for her. By the time she slipped inside, Lord Commander Chain Mail was already speaking. “—at least there…-

Hayden was in a daze. She listened to the drums—that beat meant a sighting from two stations down along the wall. That particular beat signaled at least one airship. She could tell no more from merely listening.“Sargent, get East Wind back to the keep!” she ordered, turning to take off. She didn’t even wait for a response from the pony, just beat her wings and leapt off the side of the wall. She caught herself in a smooth parabola that took her up above the edge, where she could get a good look…-

The path leading down into the city was not an easy one. Bit had arranged everything about her lab—even the shelves—and she'd placed each of these to block easy view of what was below. But she'd sliced through the edges, and her crystal ponies had already pushed the shelf aside, exposing the entrance just wide enough to travel downward."What is that?" Pathfinder asked, voice frightened. "Even I wouldn’t go below the city. Ponies that go down there don't come back.""Let's hope they believe that too,"…-

Harlequin stared at the strange pony, body completely frozen with horror. So far as she knew, she’d made the trip totally safely, without doing anything to reveal who and what she was.Yet here was a pony to show her just how wrong she was. Without any effort, this pony had known she was a changeling. And she still wanted to claim that she wasn’t here for some hostile reason? “What do you want?” Harlequin asked. It was the closest thing she dared to a denial. “First, to introduce myself,” she…-
