Roseluck turned the binder over in front of her, trying to make sense of the records she was collecting. The flower stall wouldn’t be in this state if only they’d understood how bad things were getting. The trouble was, Rose and her sisters liked growing and arranging flowers, not so much the organization that went with it. One little budget shortfall and the next thing they knew they were selling their house and renting space in the cheapest places they could find. She rose, dumping the entire thing…-

Lyra stepped off the bus a few blocks from her apartment. The shelter of sunlight was long gone, along with the armor it might've offered against the Kindred. Their dark influence might be gathering in any shadow.Not long ago, Lyra would've insisted on waiting for a direct ride home, rather than venture unprotected after dark. Even Bonnie's strange weapon couldn't make her feel safe enough. But since Awakening, she saw the world differently. No common vampire would ever sneak up on her again. If anyone…-

Despite her elevation to Alicorn, Felicity hadn’t worked on many ships during her service to the Forerunner. There was no great mystery behind her record—back around Equus, there just weren’t that many ships to go around. A few service vessels traveled back and forth from the ring’s surface to Forerunner’s station far above, where the assembly of their exploration ship and presumably the war fleet had taken place. Felicity had captained one of these for several months, doing little of consequence…-

Phil lay crumpled on the muddy ramp, his coat caked with filth and blood. The cold seeped through his bones as he struggled to move. His once-proud wings were still bound, trapping him on the ground. Not that he had anywhere to fly to—the sky overhead was solid stone. He wasn't sure how long he spent lying there, barely breathing. Phil knew pain and defeat—no player could climb as high as he had without facing his fair share of sacks and interceptions. No loss on the field could ever equal the stakes…-

Lane could think of few things quite so dangerous as going straight to the surface now that she didn't have her companion, but straight to the surface was where Lane intended to go. Of course, there were a few minutes of wandering, given that she knew the layout of Starfall so poorly. But after several minutes of searching, she was able to locate the entrance, hidden in a grate that had been built by human hands. Flying up that grate was her first challenge, given that from her small perspective it…-

I didn’t belong here. I knew that getting an interview with the emperor wouldn’t be easy—but I thought that might mean having to talk to lots of stuffy people in closed rooms, impressing or them into admitting that a few minutes of the emperor’s time would have returns for them, if only because it meant the authoritative history I would write would more favorably capture the griffon perspective. In some of my nightmares I had imagined having to bribe my way through, or perform some strange griffon…-

"That sounds like a great idea," Sandbar said. "Convince the rest of your tribe to change their ways and be willing to join the war. That's basically the whole reason we're here. But that doesn't mean we know how. That's the hard part. How do we change their mind about magic?""Well..." Even without the ability to read alien emotions exactly, Ocellus could sense his hesitation now. This stranger was unsure about how they would feel. He didn't want them to reject his idea. They were an opportunity to him,…-

Jackie had half a mind to try and fight Harley’s instructions, maybe to run and find somewhere to hide. But as embarrassing as it would be to have her sister find her like this, it wouldn’t be right to try and hide from her. I’m going to Equestria to be treated. What if they never let me out? She trusted them now, mostly. But there was no way to be completely sure. Katie’s last memory of her wouldn’t be of Jackie hiding under a couch.But Katie had her own reasons to be embarrassed. Jackie had…-

Ocellus deposited the injured Marie along the only flat part of cave she could find, laying her down as close to all at once as she could manage. She might not be a doctor, and she didn’t know any healing spells, but she could still remember the basics she’d learned in Twilight’s school. But as engaging as it had been to hear Meadowbrook lecture on the subject, she couldn’t absorb enough to save lives in a few hours.The others weren’t far behind her—Sandbar carrying the filly named Helen, and…-

Decimus and her swarm of controllers fought brutally. Evoli could hear them from outside, and sense the violence through the aid of her own swarm. The deeper they went, the better prepared the enemy became. She could not see into the minds of Decimus and her controllers, but she could ask those on the outskirts through her own controllers’ vocal questions.The enemy was prepared—with weapons of the ancients, in great numbers. Many of the orphaned controllers died. All the better. We need as few mouths…-
