Evoli knew hunger as no ordinary pony could know it. This was nothing new—for the whole length of her existence, she had known the emptiness in her chest, the gnawing void that only love could fill. She had listened to her mother and father’s stories of life before that time, of an existence that wasn’t dependent on magical energy, and never believed them.Well, maybe she’d believed a few years ago. As Alexandria grew, it needed more labor. Changelings could happily provide that labor, so long as…-

Twilight Sparkle knew something was wrong from the first moment she woke. She could feel it in her fur, from the tip of her nose right down to her tail. She yawned, stretched, then shook herself out, rising from her bed.Well, she would’ve stood up from the bed, except that she was no longer resting with calm poise right on the edge of the bed from one side. Rather, she was now completely surrounded by a sea of blankets, expanding around her in all directions and blocking out the light. While this…-

Eric should've been watching the road. That task was not made easy on this particular evening, with pouring rain striking against the front of his vehicle with such ferocity that he could barely see the road through the deluge. Fortunately the roads in Livingston were wide, and the awful weather would keep others from driving out here. Anyone with common sense was already at home right now, rather than subjecting themselves to the storm. Eric had neither kind of cents, which was why he was out in the first…-

Sweet Sauce woke in a crater, naked body steaming. For a few seconds it was all he could do to remain conscious, fighting the backlash of a spell that could easily kill a lesser pony. The worldgate seared into the loamy earth all around him, scrawling the magical signature to his place of origin.He would have to scratch those out before he left, hopefully before anypony else stumbled upon this place. An astute unicorn might be able to reverse-engineer his origin, much to their torment. He could imagine no…-

Hayden was in the wrong part of town. Sunyshore City had its many unspoken rules, and by crossing onto the piers, he had broken most of them. A townie just didn't belong on the pier, and the local children weren't about to yield their territory easily. He hoisted his threadbare coat high on his shoulders, covering his face as best he could. Maybe they would mistake who he was, long enough for him to cross back to the shore side. "They still following us?" Hayden might be only twelve…-

Amie loved Adventure Camp. She loved camp so much that she pressured her little brother into going, even after she turned nineteen and could only stay as a counselor. Her brother Wes didn’t enjoy being up in the mountains quite so much, didn’t enjoy the hiking and pioneering and paintball games in the woods. But he also didn’t have the guts to just outright tell her no. The season was mostly over now—another two days, and he would be headed home. “Lame way to spend your last night.” She nudged…-

Orson stared down at his laptop screen, trying to make sense of the blurring of his friends’ voices as they yelled over each other. This was supposed to be a dungeon map, he was pretty sure, and every now and then he thought he glimpsed a miniature. But there was a reason he wasn’t studying anything in computers, and this was part of it. This website might as well be Greek.“It’s not supposed to be like this!” Kit insisted, her voice frustrated. There was supposed to be a video of her at the…-

Lyra stared out across the ice sheet, down past blasted rocks and a howling, timeless wind. Some part of her wondered if the ancient ponies of this place had ever really escaped the Windigos of ancient legend—maybe they were still here, guarding over their final tomb.But if that grim reality was waiting for them in the Horn of Celestia, they were going to have to discover it sooner or later. Sooner means that we can make their sacrifice count for something. If the secrets abandoned by our tribes are in…-

Captain Twilight Sparkle shifted uneasily in the confines of her insulated sleeper suit. She could feel the fabric pressing down on her coat, constricting her movement. It’s alright. Once I go into hibernation, I won’t be feeling anything.She pushed off gently from the back of the elevator, then used only an occasional flap of her wings to keep her moving through cryogenics. She passed five other pods, each of which was already occupied, and had been for weeks. There was no way to look inside, but the…-

Between the late hour of his last class and the isolation of the river trail, it was a rare night when Jacob met anyone else on his walk home. Despite his age, there was always something that made him nervous whenever he heard another set of footsteps.When he heard footsteps running towards him down the path, he got a little tense. Old growth pine and fir grew here, obscuring the orange of streetlights and splitting moonlight into patchwork shadows. Jacob slowed a little in his walk, wishing he had a can…-
