Amie did not expect a response from camp. Her brother slept, and she couldn’t, so what more was there to do but drain her battery while poking at the intranet. She knew better than to expect it to keep working much past line-of-sight to the mountain. Once she reached Agate, she would have to come back this way every time she wanted to send messages to her kids.If the mountain didn’t have guards, I might try to get them out. But we can’t all feed on the emotions of one bug, or they wouldn’t be…-

But even knowing this on paper, she was completely unprepared for what they found.As the Bright Hawk approached the city from below, she finally realized what she was looking at. This was a more subdued version of Mount Aris, where the city had been built into incongruous mountainside, somehow able to support itself despite the…-

Ocellus kept in the air another moment longer, hoping that her friends would understand. This disguise had passed an initial test—this was the phase of any operation where she could make observations of the culture she was about to infiltrate, learning everything she needed about their customs. Well that was what her mother probably would’ve suggested. She didn’t think they’d be here long enough for that—and she wasn’t leading a changeling expedition. But she circled up and over the boardwalk,…-

Charlie never would've admitted how much she enjoyed the next few hours. It wasn’t just that the fillies had an awesome fort to themselves, which was true. It wasn't even that they gave her some pointers about how to glide down from the higher levels, and didn't once comment on how bad a job she did. What it was might be a little harder for her to quantify, though. Maybe something as simple as being around some friends with no expectations.Maybe it was camaraderie. Sunbeam and River didn't mind having…-

There was silence in the courtroom, as what few ponies in the stands gasped and pointed. Tracy could only hope they thought those charges were as outrageous as he did. No one dared speak, until Princess Luna finally rose from her throne, glaring across the room. “Equestria declines to prosecute on the charge of interdimensional incursion and criminal destruction of property. With no charges, the court—”Discord cleared his throat loudly. “Excuse me, Princess. But I wouldn’t want this body to…-

“Will the child of no reflection sing the song of seven strings?” asked the voice in her dreams.“Why should I? What do I have to sing about? The joy was stolen from my life when I was small.”“That is the most important reason to sing.”Harlequin woke with a start, rising from their tiny sleeping area with a scattering of blankets and pillows. For a few seconds she just lay there, clutching at her racing heart and trying to remember the significance of what she’d been seeing.There had been…-

"I sure do," Shiloh said, holding Aspen out on one arm. The Pokémon made it most of the way to the bed, before the butler gestured in their direction, making Shiloh retreat. "Tell the young mistress about yourself, Holly. June, this might be your new governess. If you see anything out of place, please say so. You deserve the best company." The child reached to the side, manipulating the hospital-bed controls. She rose slowly, settling into a sitting position. "Do you know anything…-

Lotus stared down at Luna's response, turning over the magical letter in the air. She could hold it there now, so long as she stayed focused. That focus took total concentration, and shattered the instant she looked away. But it was all the proof she needed—she could learn this. She could get better. Once she mastered this new skill, she could return him to reality.Of course that wasn't what her new pen-pal seemed to want. She wanted Lotus to find the way back into another world, so they could be saved…-

It took some time to convince the population of Legacy to gather for another council meeting.Without the fear of extinction, without the advancing army, the bats did not much want to think of danger. Explaining the esoteric risk to themselves if they remained in this world of dream was a losing battle. Most were too practically-minded to care. The island was far larger than their small population could possibly require, with the oceans for many miles rendered peaceful by Mira's reality anchor. Sometimes…-

It was already so late, and Hayden was so tired. Hard to imagine she had spent the day with the most important prince in the world, then wrapped it up by surviving a meeting with the current leader of all mythical society.

Hayden wasn't ready to give up and submit to unconsciousness right away, no matter how warm the heated pokémon bed…-
