Hollow Shades was nothing like Concord. When they first arrived, Star thought they’d gotten lost and wandered into some ancient ruin instead. But then she saw the movement from down below, and she realized with horror that they’d finally arrived. If there was going to be a rebellion hiding anywhere in the world, it would be here. These creatures even seemed to be hiding from the sun, let alone the princess and Harmony’s will.“We’ll have to find a place in the Kindness district,” Ginny squeaked,…-

It had been a long time since Twilight heard the bells of warning toll through the ancient castle. So long, in fact, that she wasn’t even sure they were still working. She learned then just how well they were doing as the ringing disrupted her concentration and caused a spell she was working on to fall apart. At least I don’t sleep anymore. If I still did that, I would probably be annoyed. When Twilight grew annoyed, her choices became… suboptimal. Her castle staff were probably happier that she…

Jamie stared at the shut door, her ears pressed flat with nervous fear. She’d learned so much over the last few days—with a few weeks of practice, she could probably really contribute. As to which side she would be helping, that was harder…She slumped to the ground, resting her head on her hooves. It would be easier if she could believe that Twilight was showing her lies, trying to brainwash her. But nothing she saw felt like a lie. Flurry Heart and Starlight Glimmer and Cadance were all real.My…

Of course it couldn’t be as simple as just walking back into Moonrise and waiting to be showered with praise. After all, most of the creatures in the upper city had lived a life of plenty under Rockshanks’s rule. Whatever preparation they had to do for a war not likely to ever happen was a small price to pay.A small force of unicorns had erected a shield around the entrance, which Nightmare Moon cut through with little effort. She might not wield the power of a goddess anymore, but she was still a…-

Jamie was bigger now. Her wings had filled with feathers that caught the wind almost effortlessly. She couldn’t walk down a street in Ponyville without stallions stopping to notice her. She’d known a few of them intimately enough by now, but ultimately their company had never interested her for long. She had never managed to secure herself a 3D-projector, despite Dawn’s friendliness. So Jamie’s map of the world had to be built of real material—a cross-section that showed the surface of Equestria…

“A moment, Natasha,” Starlight called, before Sunset could disperse with the other diplomats. She hesitated under the covered roof. Brad did too, but she waved him away. “Whatever this is, I can tell you about it once I know.”“Come with me, ‘Natasha,’” Starlight said, and together they walked towards the city. Around the meeting area they passed a gathering of ponies, who’d apparently been waiting for Alexi to be finished. “When can they change us back?” someone asked, his voice…-

Winding Wheel heard his front bell ring with a familiar high-pitched tinkling, and he looked up from his work. Many tools hung in the air around him, a tiny mallet, a screwdriver, a chisel as fine as a hair. He lowered them with reluctance, replacing each in their assigned place. "One moment!" His voice rasped when he shouted, and when he rose, his joints cracked like the sinue was going to tear right off his bones. It didn't, though he knew that day would come soon. How many predictions did Wheel have…-

Jamie knew that Starlight Glimmer’s secret knowledge must be hiding far from the world she lived in. Obviously, her secret must rest somewhere that nopony else would ever go, or else it would’ve been revealed years before. But when she turned towards the train station, Starlight gently pushed her aside, gesturing to a trail leading east of town. “The Gem Caves?” she asked, eyebrows going up. “I thought you grew up in northeast Equestria. Wouldn’t your secrets be up there?”Starlight didn’t…

Yet the strange feeling that something was amiss remained.Luna took flight from her balcony, spreading her great wings and eating the miles far faster than any of her thestral…-

Jamie shifted uncomfortably in the dress that didn’t feel like it was hers, wishing very much that she could be back in the shelter. If only someone else’s pod had been failing, then she wouldn’t be out here playing horse. She could wake up, blissfully unaware of all the difficulties that transpired while she slept. Except they might never wake up now. If their evil princess can find the emergency shelter, she will probably kill everyone inside.Apparently the dictator was evil enough that she might…
