    • Chapter 20 Cover
      by Starscribe — I found Dawn waiting on the Daughter of Wintergreen, along with a half-blind bird with a pink head and a face like he was perpetually smelling sour milk.“You’re the faulty hatchling, eh?” he said, before even Dawn could greet me. He jerked forward, pulling out a gnarled stick and smacking one of my wings.I jumped, backing away. “Hey!”He ignored me. “What, you gonna fly away? Oh wait, you can’t.” He jerked forward again, smacking my other wing just as hard. “Flightless hatchlings like you…
    • Chapter 22 Cover
      by Starscribe — There was limited space on the scroll, and Ocellus concentrated with all her magic, writing as tiny and neatly as she could.“Dear Princess Twilight,We’re writing to you not because we’re in immediate danger, but because we believe Equestria is. It’s possible you have already made contact with the humans and we’re wasting the scroll. If so, we’re sorry.Earth is not like Equestria. You can already see how small Equestria is compared to Earth continents. That space isn’t empty—there are…
    • Chapter Twenty-Nine Cover
      by Starscribe — Shiloh was the last through the portal. After everything she'd just gone through, she was not about to lose her best friend again. One way or another, Briar would be traveling with her, at least until she knew that he was safe. There was some chance—a significant one, probably—that he would not be critically necessary to whatever plan Lane had for Orre. If that was the case, at least she could go to help the world knowing that none of her friends had been sold off to some trainer to be their…
    • Chapter 13 Cover
      by Starscribe — Capper always kept his promises. That included Lyra’s first uninterrupted chance to practice with the magic of true transformation. With his careful guidance, prodding her away from caving to the instincts of her form, Lyra kept from getting into too much trouble.Her trip across Ponyville was not quick exactly. Her companion was still a cat, and cats were not terribly interested in running when there were more dignified ways to get around. But from a foot off the ground, there was no chance of being…
    • Chapter 10 Cover
      by Starscribe — Ocellus stared back at the alien, her wings buzzing nervously to either side. Hopefully the alien wouldn't know changelings well enough to read her from body language; they were different enough that she might not have anything to worry about. Humans had some difficulty reading pony emotions without instruction, so the same might be true for the Enti.Unfortunately for her, the alien did nothing to reveal his own feelings—the Enti's mind remained entirely blank to her. It wasn't the absence she sometimes…
    • Chapter 22 Cover
      by Starscribe — Sweet Sauce opened his eyes, and saw another time. The Castle of the Two Sisters was no longer a ruin of nameless age, moldering in obscurity in a forest overcome by chaos magic. Instead it formed the capital of a great city of Harmony, with thousands of structures packed tightly around it. He found himself inside a vast laboratory, only one level beneath the surface of the castle. A stairwell led directly into the ceiling of the room above, providing quick access to the kitchens. But this memory had…
    • Chapter 38: Aggressive Memory Cover
      by Starscribe — Lilac was alone in her cell.Some part of her had hoped, however distantly, that she would at least get to stay with Charlie. But doing that would also mean spreading more of the responsibility around. There was no need for Charlie to be locked up when she hadn't been the one to fail.Let the cult believe she was the one responsible for everything, and maybe she could keep suspicion off her friend. One day they would have to cast that spell again, but far more powerfully. There was a vast gulf to cross, one…
    • Chapter 43 Cover
      by Starscribe — Tracy did not expect visitors while waiting for the doctors to begrudgingly release him. This was another world, after all, one in which he had even fewer ties than Earth itself. But despite more than half a year of time in Equestria, it seemed there was still plenty for him to learn.First it was several representatives of the flight school, including the safety crew that ostensibly should've been keeping him safe. He wasn't quite sure what to make of their feedback. "That was the best worst flying I've…
    • Part 2 (Joseph) – Chapter 1 Cover
      by Starscribe — Joseph was bored.This was no exception for him; actually it was the rule more than any other feeling. Little could challenge him, little could push the limits of his intellect or aptitude for more than a few moments. When those moments were over, it was back to playing Pokémon.That was what he wanted to be doing now; what he would’ve been doing if he hadn’t been dragged into the library too early in the morning by the neediest pony in the whole colony. “Why don’t you have your boyfriend do…
    • Chapter 17 Cover
      by Starscribe — Mira followed Cassini back into the guild building, feeling the first gusts of wind lift her wings. By the time they had the doors shut, the force was so great it took both of them pushing together to get the security-bar across."Not sure why you would... pick a place to live like this," she whispered, sliding slowly down to the floor. It was all built well enough that she felt only a trickle of sand making its way in, whipping through her mane. The last storm had smelled of new life and renewal—this one…
