Dear Journal,Not too terribly much happened today, which is a nice change. I’ll use the extra time to catch up on the things I missed in yesterday’s entry, then hit up the main points.Just glanced back, seems I left off talking about when I first saw Joe’s magic.If my mane wasn’t already green, it probably would’ve turned green with envy. I already had plenty of reason to be jealous of this guy. Now he’s going and manifesting freaking magic right in front of me, David Blaine-ing it up in…-

Lane landed with a splash, sending warm water cascading away from him in all directions. He sank, and for a few terrible seconds it felt like he was going to keep sinking. Even if it was too dark to see, he could feel Mew hovering over him, and he kicked towards her. He broke the water a second later, coughing and spluttering. “Are… you… trying to drown me?” A soft amber glow sprung up just beside the water, suddenly illuminating the room. He swam towards the edge, getting a good look around. It…-

"It's everything I imagined," Mira said. She circled slowly around the ritual stone, inspecting every facet of the runes on its surface. Let nopony say that all the craft of thestrals was dead. Master stonemasons and jewelers remained, carrying their expertise forward just like Kallisto had at the monastery.Granted, nopony ever executed a jeweler for teaching how to make a ring. But Celestia might now, if she ever saw this masterpiece.Occasionally she held out the sketch of her original runes with one…-

Midnight Lilly stalked back and forth down the vault, her hoofsteps growing increasingly agitated. She'd passed this way at least a half-dozen times by now, and with each time her anxiety grew.The ponies of Celestia’s Imperial Monastery were some of the densest, most naïve creatures she'd encountered in her brief, troubled life. But even they had some sense of security, or else there would be no treasures left to steal.After today, there would be far fewer. She caught her stray reflection in a bit of…-

Tracy had never so much as taken a plane before, let alone sat in first class. While he sat alone for long hours debugging his work in a lab somewhere, he’d often imagined what it would be like one day, when he worked for a big company. They’d fly him all over to technical conferences, and he’d always ride in business class.His ride to Canterlot could only be described as “princess class.” It was like the personal trains of any number of kings and dictators, without any of the security features.…-

Twilight kept mostly to herself during the journey, even though her friends were with her on board the Crystal Cruiser. It was possible, likely really, that she would have felt more comfortable in the presence of her friends who would be joining her across the universal barrier. But somehow, she just couldn’t bring herself to face them right now. They had come, but did they belong in the danger she would put them in?Princess Cadance would be there, probably furious with Twilight's lack of communication.…-

Gina was not the sort of bird who had to deal with the big picture of politics. She didn’t have to see the relationships between the great houses, or their slow machinations as they constantly fought to out-maneuver each other. Her own house had been part of that great game once, though she hadn’t been anywhere near the top. The birds of Purity had been unwilling to sacrifice their purity to do what was necessary to keep a great house from being torn apart from all sides. Now Purity was gone, divided…-

Icefalls cannon crews were prepared for this moment. In a way, they couldn’t have hoped for a better opportunity. The Grand Fleet’s attempt to use their sight against them would certainly work in Icefalls’s favor.Hayden saw the first explosions before she heard them. A brief flash of light, and a roar as closed containers of oil were ignited by their concussive shells. Weapons meant to ignite her city and burn its residents in their homes would now do the same to the ones who had planned on using…-

To his surprise, Eleanor had plenty of clothes that didn't bother him. Instead of a wardrobe filled with ancient relics, she had all kinds of amazing things, in styles and sizes to fit a wide variety of different people. The guys' clothes didn't fit quite right anymore, though. It stretched in some places where it shouldn't, and rubbed against his chest with a persistent discomfort whenever he moved. He wore it anyway, even if the reflection staring back at him in Eleanor's…-

Harlequin faced down Azure Sigil, magic sword only a foot away from her neck. This would be the moment where a better changeling than her would come up with some clever lie. Hydrus would probably already have had one in reserve, just in case someone asked about where the sword came from. If the Swarm had still been within reach, she could’ve asked their collective reasoning for help. But they were gone, and she was alone.Harlequin winced, then met the pony’s eyes. “I found it on a dead pony. I had to…-
