Amie was back in the tower. She sat up sharply, returning quickly to full alertness. This wasn’t the time to take things slowly, not with the attack on Stella Lacus at that exact moment.She could practically hear the cannonfire from the tower, though she knew that must be in her imagination. Agate and Stella Lacus were quite far from Canterlot, much too far for such sounds to travel.She imagined it anyway—felt the deep rumble in her chest from each blast, and the subsequent explosion of something…-

Theo could barely lift her claws as she made her way into Sleighsburg. Here the earthquake hadn’t just torn up rocks and opened random holes over nothing—here the devastation was real and extremely pronounced.There weren’t thousands of bodies littering the streets—there weren’t even thousands of ponies in the entire village. But there was terrible damage to everything she could see. Houses had come crashing down—sections of wooden bridge over ice had collapsed, and gaps had widened. Already…-

Some part of Jackie’s brain still imagined that she was buried in one of Unity’s many rooms. There were no circuits in her formerly-human brain to let her understand an entire world tucked away inside a bunker.But her brain would have to adjust. Whatever doubts she had harbored about Equestria being a real place—any secret thoughts in her mind that maybe the portal would just be a way to teleport her to somewhere else filled with ponies—those doubts were shattered.She winced for a second as she…-

Lane felt a little better after she got some coffee in her system. Her mom could caution her as often as she wanted about how her body wasn't built to eat human food, and how much happier she would be if she just accepted that plants were all she was meant to eat. But Korina wasn't the one out here saving the world. Let her complain about Lane's diet all she wanted while safely surrounded by luxury. At least she got to watch Shiloh struggle through her breakfast. It wasn't morning, but…-

Lane returned to her present with a crashing impact as dramatic as the one that had taken her away. She was better at it—she managed to hold herself in the air as the transformation faded, and catch herself when she lost the wings. Mewtwo and Elisa were standing exactly where they had been, watching with the same nervous concern. "You can't go without me!" Elisa said, nudging up against her. She wobbled, nearly collapsing under the pressure. That particular transformation would probably…-

"Even if perfectly accomplished, this destruction will turn Equestria's eyes further towards Willowbrook," someone said to Iris, from behind a complete facemask and robe. They spoke with authority and conviction, and provoked only obedience from her mother. Lilac had no illusions about how a fight with those three would go, and so she did not even try."As the actions were yours, the Watcher decrees the harm will be yours also. House Vale will burn. If the Lightless Star survives the storm gathering on our…-

Lyra heard knocking against her quarters door. She wasn't sure how long it had been—long enough that she was in bed now, with the better part of her uniform now hanging on a hook. Technically speaking that might be a bad idea—a proper captain from the Equestrian army would probably not have stopped fighting until everything was resolved and they were all safe at home.But Lyra was an archeologist, not a general. If she didn't get a chance to rest, she would probably just keep breaking down. If she lost…-

I didn’t belong here. I knew that getting an interview with the emperor wouldn’t be easy—but I thought that might mean having to talk to lots of stuffy people in closed rooms, impressing or them into admitting that a few minutes of the emperor’s time would have returns for them, if only because it meant the authoritative history I would write would more favorably capture the griffon perspective. In some of my nightmares I had imagined having to bribe my way through, or perform some strange griffon…-

Phil continued in silence for a time, tugging the cart alongside his strange new companion. Volunteering for the hard job might have put him at risk out in the open, but that also meant he had his head up to see where he was going. They expected him to save this world somehow, and he would have to get to know it first.That would've been easier if they had arrived during the day, maybe in the center of town instead of just outside it. But he could still perceive some things—vaguely familiar trees and…-

For the second time in three days, Amie dragged her brother into the forest.This time there was no rumble of a jeep following them across the campgrounds, or the shout of distant, angry voices. They weren’t running through the wilderness either, but had a gravel path to follow. So long as Amie kept Tailslide’s directions fresh in her mind, she could probably take them all the way to Agate without stopping.Except, of course, for Wes.Her brother lacked her endurance, and couldn’t keep running for long.…
