Lyra approached Akiko slowly, half a dozen spells rising to her mind. Why would Aiko invite Tempest out of her cell, where she wasn’t contained by the wards? This woman already tried to kill her more than once—she’d been willing to sacrifice Bonnie’s life to her invisible masters—and as many mages as she could kill in the process.“Do the Guardians know she’s here?” Reagan asked, voice low and nervous. “We weren’t just keeping her in the Sanctum for our sake.”“They never knew my…-

Felicity circled around the control-panel. She couldn't say exactly how many times she had swam around it. Not just to bask in the warmth that radiated from it, though there was certainly some element of that. After being in the dark for so long, even the emergency lights served to help wake her up.They were nowhere near as strong as the illumination that filled even the most broken-down skimmer she'd ridden in. Those were designed to nourish one of her kind, minimizing light-bleed along other spectra.…-

With more warning, the three of them could've managed a more sophisticated escape from the incoming helicopter. Hell, with more of her own powers Lane probably could've made them invisible long enough to get away from the building and hide until they left. But that was one of many powers she barely even understood, let alone mastered. They quickly dismissed a plan to run across the field of strange red flowers. None were anywhere close to human height, and the helicopter had clear view of them…-

Ocellus watched Commander Blackburn, her whole body tense with energy. If ever the humans were going to spring and attack, this was probably their best chance. Their soldiers were fast, skilled, and well-armed. Was this dungeon about to turn into another WW2? She followed his emotions as best she could, though he kept them so disciplined she saw only flashes. Anger, calculation, fear, skepticism.He sighed deeply, his shoulders slouching. “When is this going to happen?”“Dawn,” Smolder said,…-

Lotus remained frozen, facing down the group of kirin. There were three, two about her own size and one a little taller. Yet compared to her, they might as well be another species. Their manes had grown large and vibrant, more like what she'd expect on a lion than her own modest growth. The scales emerging from beneath packs of supplies were polished shiny enough to catch reflected sunlight. Their horns had that same luster, like they'd been dipped in wax."You're... here for the book, aren't you? She sent…-

Avery sat up on the rocky floor ahead of him, licking out a little patch of dust on her foreleg. Despite the animal activity, she never looked away from him for more than a second, her mind spinning. But it wasn't her fault he hadn't thought about what they would actually do here. She wasn't jumping forward and backward, but spent a whole second childhood growing up and mastering the abilities of her new body. How was she supposed to know that the mission wouldn't even be given to her…-

Weeks passed. Eleanor didn't go back to coming to morning lessons every day. But sometimes she came, and other times she was there in the early afternoon when they were done, and Hayden was released. Their relationship remained tense—at one moment, Hayden's ignorance about her own body might provoke Eleanor's compassion and sympathy. But then Hayden would do something else, turning her cold with anger or envy. It was still better to have a sister sometimes than not at all. With her around,…-

Amie watched in silence as her brother transformed. The process was not as quick as she’d come to be, nor did it proceed as easily. For a moment she wondered if the magic would ever finish, or if he would just burn away everything in his stomach. Did it even work that way for him?But then the light faded, and another creature stood before her. Or technically—an exact duplicate stood in front of her. The fake pegasus, right down to the familiar creamy feathers on her wings. For a few seconds Amie stared…-

“You’re kidding,” Kara said, her voice far less respectful than Kyle had ever seen it. “You can’t really be suggesting that we’re moving in the middle of junior year.”Mom only sighed, reaching over to rest a hand on Kara’s shoulder. “Sweetheart, I know how much you care about… everything, but I think you need to look in the mirror for a second. Staying here isn’t going to help fix you, or anything else for that matter. I think it’s safe to say that praying for a miracle has failed.…-

“I didn’t get most of that…” Liz muttered, as soon as the portal had closed behind them and they were standing in the Dreamlands. This was the enchanted wood, one of the safest parts of the Dreamlands—but this was a part that no human (or pony) dreamer would’ve seen. “But from their tone of voice, it sounded like we just got thrown out. With… a hostage?” She glanced over her shoulder towards the deer.Jackie kept her eyes alert to the forest all around them. This enchanted wood existed as…-
