Ryan swung with all his might. But for as confident as he was, unicorn magic was still totally new to him. He could barely move objects along, let alone do so with any force. How much did it take to kill a powerful old unicorn, anyway?Too much, as it turned out. The sword deflected off nothing as it got close. Maybe it was the force of the impact, or maybe it was a directed attack by the unicorn he was fighting. Either way, he felt a wave of sudden force, powerful enough to throw him back through the air.…-

The pony leading the boarding party was a pegasus stallion as stern and well-muscled as a pony could be—which still meant he was a little shorter than she was. No firearms on his belt, not even a musket. But then, none of the birds on her ship had firearms either. Gina had made very sure that the monks didn’t get a chance to try and smuggle anything back with them, despite their protests.The officer handed her seal back a moment later. “My name is Captain Skysword, Equestrian Navy. As I understand…-

Any second now, the shock would wear off and Phil would be back in the United States. He'd wake up, obviously extremely hungover from whatever bender had resulted in him hallucinating a change in species and a conquered world to liberate.But if Equestria was a dream, he didn't wake from it that afternoon, or see any other sign that its equine citizens were not truly suffering. It took until early evening for the horses to organize everything, leaving Phil free to get to know their rebellion a little more.…-

Phil crept through the shadows, his heart pounding. One wrong move and the guards would spot him. He couldn't fail—too many lives depended on him.He peered around the corner and spotted two troll guards lounging against the wall, their faces obscured by their helmets. Both carried spears, though they were the only signs of any obstruction to pony passage. "I think this is it," he whispered, backing slowly around the corner. His wings flared involuntarily. At least they weren’t trying to restrain him…

From the very first day Mira had heard Kallisto's stories of the strange otherworld of the Dreamlands, she had imagined what her own visits might be like. Maybe she would be a brave and noble champion of realms unimagined, saving them from oppressive conquerors. Maybe she would discover ancient mysteries, and return to Equestria with the secret her tribe needed. Maybe she would find one of her own ancestors in the ancient place, living on in dedication to the lunar rebellion, who would offer her a boon in…-

Mira followed the bat down his winding steps into a world of shelves and scrolls. The space didn't seem terribly bothered about fitting into the apparent dimensions of Meridian's tower, but sprawled out in all directions as big as the old temple in Understory. They had to fly to navigate between its maze-like balconies, which were arranged about as nonsensically as any dream could be. Mira was certain she spent a good few minutes walking on the ceiling before they finally found their way to the first shelf…

Blake lifted the receiver in one shaking hand. It wasn't just his friends depending on him anymore, though they certainly were. He could practically feel the ghostly dots of sniper-rifles on his face, though he couldn't see anything like that aimed at him. So much for a warm welcome for the Equestrians. This was supposed to happen on our terms. We should've had control over every variable, so we could set this up so everyone wants to cooperate.But if they'd wanted to do that, they should have stayed on…

One year later...Summer tucked her wings as she went into a dive, dodging narrowly around an outstretched bank of thick cloud. She skimmed its surface by inches, close enough that even a tiny bit closer would probably have sent her into a mad spiral down to the surface. Clouds lifted around her in wispy white lines, trailing behind her like a fluffy white cloak. The flash of green ahead of her was still in the lead, but not for much longer. She was so close now, almost close enough to snap at the hairs of…-

Twilight Sparkle was hard at work. Ever since receiving a whole castle for herself, she hadn’t had to pack her lab away into a tiny basement that was barely large enough for all her equipment. The castle had plenty of rooms, and so she dedicated one of the biggest upper chambers (where tourist ponies visiting from far afield wouldn’t accidentally stumble into it) to her labratory.Unlike the rest of the castle (and indeed, the rest of her life), Twilight had allowed the lab to become somewhat messy in…-

Lyra had a day to prepare for the meeting with the Kindred.Normally her first source of information about such a dangerous meeting was Akiko, the mage who could answer any question about magic. She wasn’t always right—or Capper didn’t think so—but even when she didn’t know, she was always honest.Reagan wasn’t around either, though Lyra wandered out into the barn more than once to look for her. She even asked the horses for help, but they hadn’t seen her. Whatever preparations she had to make,…-
