Dear Starlight Glimmer,The airships baring your writ of approval arrived in the newly created Accipion refugee territory. There was a minor dispute over borders, which has since been resolved. My friends have been on the ground helping to coordinate, but so far it looks like you were right. I know I speak for all of Equestria when I tell you how thrilled we are to be wrong about a coming invasion. To be honest, it isn’t a conflict I think we could win.We had to choose to train soldiers or train more…-

Quinn was back in his apartment. "His" and "apartment" were both exaggerations in this case. An impossible Silurian civilization of cat Pokémon had given him the space to live during his time at the "hospital" for treatment. It had some of the same amenities he might be used to, but other unplaceable choices. Importantly, there was no food stored inside, or any means to keep it fresh. But that might mean less about the sophistication of the era, and more about his…-

Felicity was not a warrior. She lacked the experience to know when a battle was being won, or when an attack had the desired effect. But she could read people, even if their bodies were so strange that they couldn’t live outside their ships. Their terrible barrage struck against the enemy vessel. She knew it couldn’t be so simple, but some part of her still hoped the war would end before it began. A decisive strike, the ship destroyed, and they could return with the crew avenged.Ordin gestured, and…-

Maybe Tracy shouldn't have been surprised to see that Rose was already awake when he walked in, smelling of floral shampoo and laying out her breakfast. From the look of everything on the counter, it was going to be quite involved.She jumped as he stepped inside, eyes widening in shock. "Y-you were..." She pointed with one hoof, then glanced back at the still-shut door to the human side. “You weren't asleep?""Adjusting is hard," he said, kicking the door shut behind him. He'd only been outside for a few…-

Tracy kept well behind Janet as she walked into the house. She had the benefit of transformed clothing that provided practical modesty—his didn't. He didn't get to see her face as she stopped in the doorway, staring across the room at the open windows to main street.Brilliant orange light shone in from outside, reflecting off the windows and filling the room with painful glare. Rose emerged from upstairs, still damp and smelling like shower. Also completely naked, though that would be less immediately…

Twilight knew she couldn’t remain in the kitchen for any length of time without getting caught. It was the highest-traffic part of the castle, with dozens of ponies passing through it along their daily routines. Anything she did would have to be subtle, using her most careful stealth to avoid being seen.Then again, nopony knows what I look like. How would they know it’s me taking things from the kitchen? Of course if they had, she wouldn’t have had to worry. It was her castle, her food to take if she…-

She arrived to explosions. Compared to the size of Mundi, they were distant and feeble, barely even shaking the ground. Whatever Hat Trick had found for their ponies to use obviously wasn’t meant to bring the city down on their heads.But it didn’t need to. She didn’t poke in to look and see how they’d done. They would know the result of that soon enough.Jackie stepped out of the shadows beside the massive portal, searching out the little wrapped box that contained the spell itself. As she had…-

Evening Star could hear the drums long before she could see the city through the clouds. This was by design, of course—flying above the clouds meant they could avoid the worst of the currents that might’ve knocked an inexperienced flier from the air. It meant they could spend the least effort, and rest whenever they wanted just by gliding down a ways.The distant beats sounded nothing like anything Star had heard during her time in Defiance, watching ponies in their military drills. The beat sounded…-

Orson stopped beside the doorway, his hand hovering over the exit. He felt static against his skin—a subtle buzzing from the gloves. The effect was faint enough that he’d almost forgot it was just a hardware simulation.“How exactly are you going to prove this? Not that… I’m not trying to be rude and call you a liar, honestly. It’s just that what you’re saying makes no sense. If you tell me beforehand, at least I know that the scope of the question hasn’t changed.”Honeycomb nodded…-

We couldn’t exactly go anywhere to escape the presence of our rescuer—his strange device was the only reason we were still alive, slicing through the ash and somehow leaving an intact trail behind. I couldn’t begin to imagine how it could actually work, or how it could produce traversable paths without having them collapse on us. But that also mattered far less to me.I had a captive subject for an interview, so long as he didn’t leave us behind. So under the increasing weight of ash over our heads,…-
