Lotus had all kinds of ways to keep herself busy. But of them all, the most important labor waiting for her was the spell back to Equestria. They were truly living on borrowed time now, hunted by more than a few uneasy feelings and eyes that seemed to watch from the pages of her book.Searing Gale could animate servants to fight them. She still felt the ache of the wounds they inflicted, and the sure knowledge that much worse could follow. Servants made of wood don't seem too useful to a fire creature.…-

Sweet Sauce listened quietly from the side-corridor, remaining as still as he could. His elder sister was no bat pony, with hearing that could pierce walls and stone alike. But she was still an Alicorn, one who had survived countless assassination attempts, fought in ages long passed, and had a body coursing with incredible amounts of magic. If she discovered him lurking here before the time was right, she could treat him like an assassin.If that happened, his adoptive parents might be implicated in the…-

Years later... Avery knew she wasn't supposed to be here. There were a lot of places she wasn't supposed to go. Military sections of Starfall, with their distinctive psionic resonance. Classrooms of anyone past their first year certifications. More than 100 meters from Starfall, where the Repel field grew weak enough for wild Pokémon to get close and potentially threaten her. Her mother's office when she was hard at work. For a growing Mew, Avery was very good at learning all the rules.…-

Hayden's disorientation didn't last long. As her mind cleared, she finally realized what Cody had actually done. She stopped abruptly on the trail. She didn't have to grab him, not when his daemon rested on her shoulder. With that exchange, he would feel the tug instantly, just as she did with Liz somewhere in his hands. Every child tried testing the boundaries of the distance their daemon could travel from them at least once. Now Hayden felt that same sensation, a sudden pain deep in her…-

Amie stared, transfixed by the changeling before her. He was familiar enough to recognize as a member of her own species—but not identical to the campers of Stella Lacus. His fins were bright orange instead of green, a color matched by his eyes and the faint glow of his magic.Even stranger, his forelegs were covered with... tattoos? There was no other way to describe them—marks set into his shiny coat, lines of ink that left faint indents in the carapace. White lines twisted and swirled together in a…-

He could see from Nightmare Moon’s face that he’d pushed the boundaries of the boldness she would allow. She seethed with anger, as she always looked whenever someone mentioned her sacred city. She clearly hated being reminded of it.He waited a few more terrible moments for the blast of magic that might scour him away from the moon’s surface. It would come eventually—it was bound to, if he kept speaking to Nightmare Moon that way.It didn’t come now. “You make… a certain amount of sense,”…-

By the time their train arrived in Ponyville, full dark had settled over the town like a heavy blanket. This was no Crystal Empire or Canterlot, with bustling activity even late into the night. As Theo emerged from the train, she could see only a few flickering gas lamps, leading into town towards a round, municipal-looking building.The rest of the town could’ve come out of any number of semi ancient villages in her home country, though it had been quite some time since she’d seen a thatch roof on…-

A few hours earlier...It was a bad day to be a guard. Not that there were many good days since the world had ceased to be something that was consistent from day to day. If Amber Sands was grateful for anything, it was that being here among all these humans helped her think almost not at all about the strange desires calling her to distant war and another betrayal to heap upon her first. Would it have been the greater betrayal to turn against the ponies that had sheltered and cared for her during her whole…-

Jamie knew she was gambling with her demands, and there was no way they would lead where she wanted. But anything more direct, and it would be too obvious. Given Shy’s position within Hollow Shades, and the uneasy relationship she had with its ruler, that probably wouldn’t be a good idea. Her presence should be seen as a punishment for her, while he prepared something better.“I’m not sure what I should call you, uh…” Golden Shine said, stumbling. At least they were walking to the Kindness…-

Kyle wasn’t kept waiting much longer to be let back into the house. It was hard to say whether that was because her parents wanted her back in, or just because they had the deadline of her grandparents’ visit to waste all their time.It was late the next day—before she’d heard back from Monday, even—that Mom and Dad appeared at her door again, both looking exhausted and smelling like paint thinner. “Here,” Dad said, offering something plastic. “You’ll probably want this, for……-
