Lyra did not charge blindly into an enclosure of powerful predators hoping to deal with any encounter as it came. The power of any mage came from preparation, so she prepared. She lingered in the doorway for a few seconds, muttering a few words in Atlantean and drawing with her knife. Rainbow looked up from the glass to watch, fascinated and amused.“I am larger, I am stronger. This is my territory. You will respect me and let me pass.” She said it, and it was so. Though nothing about her appearance…-

The quarters they found for Felicity and her "friends" left a great deal to be desired. The deck had huge gaps, and an entire section of wall had been covered by a thin plastic sheet. It bowed out constantly, as though the pressure might rip it free at any moment. But it didn't, at least not while Felicity and the others entered the room."We're working on something better," Escape Gear said apologetically. She was the last one through the door, clutching the nearly-limp form of Delta in her arms. She…-

Lane didn't get nearly as much sleep as she would've hoped for that night, considering what was waiting for them in the morning. But Elisa obviously needed a simpler kind of support. There was no way she wouldn't be there for her, even if it made her a little weaker tomorrow. Besides, there was Cedar's other instructions lingering in her mind, keeping her awake even after Elisa finally stopped squirming. She couldn't make the trip as herself, or else invoke the wrath of enemies…-

The human airship had been impressive in its own way, even if it became incredibly frustrating as soon as the engines actually turned on. But Ocellus kept her mouth closed and didn’t complain during the flight. Compared to her friends, she was fantastically lucky. At least she didn’t have to spend the entire trip strapped into one place for fear that walking around would unbalance the whole thing.Equestria might not know how to make airships stay as warm inside, they might not know how to make them out…-

Lotus stumbled forward, hurrying over to embrace Iron. She hugged him as tight as she could, not caring about what it might do to the silk dress. "Iron! I thought you were still a prisoner!"He shrugged. "Your new friend put in a good word for me. Because of you, I'm pretty sure." Without a fancy outfit, Iron could still hold her with one of his feathery wings. He didn't smell like dirty trail and blood anymore. They hadn't given him flowery perfume, but she wouldn't want that anyway. The natural spell of…-

Quinn didn't leave that night. Yet no matter how much he didn't want to leave, he could make no argument to Avery's reasoning. To stay meant undermining her efforts to foster a new, more merciful faction among the Mew of Starfall. They could never learn that the cat arguing for a forced separation and exile for the persistent variants also had a family with one! Every goodbye hurt—but one most of all. Mew lived a long time, he should see his mate and daughter again. Once he traveled…-

Hayden was on the train again. She still remembered her last time in one of Shaymin House's private cars, frothing with nervous energy and fear over her first encounter with her adoptive family. But that Hayden was a different person, and not just because he was a boy. While that version of herself was ignorant and afraid, her new self was a little less of those things. Yet, the nervous energy wasn't any different. She couldn't sit still on the train for more than a few minutes. Now that…-

"I told Commander Path what happened," he said, glancing nervously around the restaurant. There didn't seem to be anyone paying particular attention to their table, but that was no guarantee. Even if no one had followed Tailslide, they might still recognize him. It must be inconvenient not being able to change his appearance like that. "The truth about—you, your brother, the place you came from."Even spoken so vaguely, she sat up in her seat, relaxing her mind so she could feel at the emotions of…-

Vesper sailed through strange skies. This time it wasn't just her mind that flew, released from physical bonds into the dreaming, but her body too, tucked away in one of the private quarters of the Bright Hawk. Shame the others overruled her suggestion to give it a different name. But while the others wiled away their nights confined to their own dreams; Vesper was learning. She'd learned a great deal during the last few weeks, while her friends with more useful skills spent their time rebuilding the…-

Jackie woke up in her own little dream.In a way that made her very much alike the other bats out there—many who spent any time in dreamcraft would quickly establish sections of the dream to which they would return, linking themselves so completely that they would almost always be drawn there, even in the presence of other pressures.Her little apartment looked as though it was becoming run down—bits of the wallpaper were peeling, the screen was cracked slightly, and water dripped in through the ceiling.…-
