Hayden stepped outside into a ruin of the griffon military unit. Corpses were spread around them in two rings—the first, facing inward, with weapons all nearby. The second facing away, without their weapons.The Blackwings killed the ones attacking, then they killed the ones running away.Princess Luna stopped beside her, staring at the dead. Then she looked to the side, where the Blackwings had gathered. Not all of them stood in ranks—there were still scouts watching the city, and a few remained in the…-

For the months leading up to the first battle in Icefalls, Hayden had imagined what it might be like on the day the Grand Fleet arrived at her gates. Somewhere subconsciously she had been imagining her own experience in war—a few dozen insurgents at a time, never clearly seen. They would man some defenses, hide behind some sandbags and occasionally return mortar fire.This wasn’t Icefalls, but even so it wasn’t anything close to what she had pictured. Glancing at long-distance radar images could not…

Shiloh was in the presence of a god. In all her research hunting for the perfect team, with every firm she paid to search for something special for her, she had barely even extracted whispers of this creature. Mew were already so incredibly rare that most believed them extinct. She had treated old stories about its genetically-engineered successor to be just that—stories. I had no idea what I was getting myself into by battling mew. The more she saw of Lane's world, the more Shiloh realized she…-

The Pokémon bore down on her, looking as furious as their masters. Each one glowered in her general direction. "Better listen!" said the blue one, though how it could say anything with that tongue, she didn't know. "Or we hurt you." "Hypno, do your thing," said one of the thugs. The same one that had thrown its pokéball. "Make her talk." It obeyed, eyes focusing on her as it moved the little coin it held gently back and forth. "Obey," it said, as…-

Shiloh didn't think about what would be waiting for her as soon as she passed out of the cave; otherwise, her fear would overwhelm her, and she might just find a quiet corner to curl up in. That worked to get her out into the open air. But then she flew past the waterfall, into the sky. At her size, she might as well have jumped out of an airplane for how small everything looked below, and how the winds buffeted and flung her. Aspen went first, so she didn't even see her, zipping straight down…

An adventure through the untamed jungles of Cayari sounded exciting and wonderful in the abstract—until Lane actually had to do it. Within the first kilometer, he’d discovered his urban shoes did him little good against the mud, and within two he found that drinking water through a filter-canteen didn’t actually make it taste good. Elisa followed along beside him, her absurd stuffed-Pokémon now positioned securely atop her backpack, which combined with her jacket made it look almost like a…

Iris Vale should not have felt nervous leaving her home in the middle of the night. Her husband wasn't around to discover the absence and worry about her loyalty. The filly was asleep now, or so the servants watching her said. That should mean the night was hers to do with as she pleased. She could go out and celebrate her victory. She had either done the gods a great service by allowing them to continue to live in the world they moved—or else she had just saved the lives of two foals who had no idea…-

Dear Journal,Haven't had the time to record one of these in a while, sorry about that. Turns out there's a lot to get down, and maybe not so much time to do it. Here goes.We've been in the castle for over a week now, between hospitals and guestrooms. At first we were basically prisoners, with guards waiting just outside the hospital so we couldn't escape. Things are different now, for the better. Princess Twilight was way more accommodating than most leaders would be on our side. She even let us make a…-

Lyra Heartstrings had worked her whole life to stand before this tower.It had many names—the Horn of Celestia, the Dreaming Door, the Pillar of Winter, and strangest of all Windigos’ Bane. But for all its ancient names, an archeologist like Lyra knew it as something else: the oldest intact ruin in all of Equestria.Or almost. To call it “in Equestria” was true only in the historical sense, given that the Crystal Empire’s territory had once extended so far north it almost reached the sea. Where…-

Twilight was nearing the bottom of a long, winding ramp when she felt the first flickers of magic from far below. The soldiers escorting them had no idea what was happening, didn't even react.Applejack and Rainbow Dash were a bit more sensitive. Both looked down, and Applejack pawed nervously at the floor. "Bit far down to be living, don't you think?" she asked, turning to look back at their escort. "Couldn't we stay up top, where we can see the sky?"Twilight had a spell prepared by then, a stun that would…-
