"We're ready for this," Danielle repeated, for maybe the tenth time. They were walking between the buildings of a busy apartment complex, but nobody paid them any mind. They were all the right age to be living there, after all."Sunset thought so." Eric walked just in front of her, his wings hidden in a backpack he had cut the back out of. It worked, though she could still make out the strange shapes poking through the fabric. That, and she just knew it must be super uncomfortable."It's not a big deal,"…-

The storm that raged in the land of Bravery was a fierce thing, tearing up the rock and ripping huge holes in the land. The others still found a way to sleep, even the cat.But Mira did not feel tiredness, just as she hadn't since first arriving in the realm of sleep and starlight. She paced back and forth in front of the low windows, watching the world outside through thick glass.Occasionally there was a break in the clouds, and she could see the moon. Well enough to look up, and see its face.Even in the…-

Tracy watched a few seconds more, gauging the pony’s reaction. But he’d barely been in contact with her for the last few weeks, ever since her first attempt to get him… arrested? Whatever the ponies would’ve done to someone who didn’t belong. Maybe nothing, if Discord was telling the truth. “Do you not have ice cream here?” He settled both on the kitchen counter, then went for bowls and a scoop. He placed one there, not waiting for Rose before filling the bottom of his bowl and making a…-

Lyra was somewhere warm. She had a cloak now, wrapped tight around her bare skin. The mud was mercifully gone, scrubbed raw in freezing water. Strange perfume seasoned her skin, though she couldn't say exactly where it had come from.At least they hadn't left her out in the open. Tucked inside one of the oversized pavilions, she no longer felt quite so overwhelmed. Whatever she had seen outside, at least in here the world made sense.They let her keep her magical tool. She still had the little obsidian…-

Felicity wasn’t sure how long it took for her to return to her senses. Starvation was a strange thing, particularly when she had to fight the instinct to end it with her magic at every moment. But as awful as the hunger had been, it would pass. When she ran out of magic… what then?The trouble was, Felicity didn’t feel better. She lay in a corner of the escape pod, tossing and turning with the grass in her stomach. With a full belly, she should’ve felt fine. Instead her stomach began to ache, like…-

Starlight Glimmer's illusion changed her less than Golden Wind's. Her horn vanished behind the illusion, replaced with a pair of wings that never moved, remaining neatly folded at all times.Like his, the disguise went only skin-deep. Her horn still glowed, even though it wasn't there, as she traced the lines of her careful spell. She drew onto the ground, making a perfect circle surrounded by dense runes."This should get us to San Palomino," she said, tossing the chalk aside and stepping carefully over the…-

For a few seconds Lane was completely overwhelmed. The field of strange-smelling grass might not be tall, but it was tall enough to curl around her and make her coat itch terribly where it rubbed against her skin. She whimpered, then took off into the air, hovering high enough that she wasn't surrounded by dirt and grass. "Hello, Korina? It's okay, you can stop now! Whatever you want me to think, I agree with you!" Please don't leave me alone. But her kidnapper didn't…-

We didn’t have very far to walk to reach Carrion, so called City of the Dead. Only for these birds, the term wasn’t meant to be literal. When I closed my eyes, I could still see the eyes of Cyrus, who had taken us for days through the dark. He said something about the commander of that outpost, who went too far with the Old Magic even before the world ended. He was talking about himself.But as we reached the real city, the birds who greeted us were all clearly alive, though that didn’t make them…-

It didn't take long before Ocellus began to see signs of the ancient city. The ruins resembled Zecrin structures they'd seen on their diplomatic visit so far, save for the obvious erosion and decay. They seemed strangely intact, considering how voraciously the rest of the jungle grew. Almost as though something was protecting this part.They traveled with her chunk of the ancient thronestone open and active, draining the light as they walked. This clearly had a negative effect on the non-changelings…-

Chapter 15It was a good thing that Sigil had come during the night. Even in Equestria Jackie found the day was difficult for her, particularly without caffeine. Canterlot had coffee, but it didn’t have energy drinks, and that was critical.At least Sigil was willing to wait a few minutes while they got ready. They hadn’t been told anything, hadn’t been anywhere near the palace again since Jackie’s treatment. “I thought we would have another week,” Harley said, emerging from the bathroom in her…-
