I didn’t fall off during the trip into the sky. There was more than a little reason to be afraid—with no walls and only a thin wooden platform to separate me from certain death by falling, I wasn’t exactly confident. But despite her protests of its speed, Radiant Dawn seemed to know exactly where to stand so it wouldn’t tilt too far.Lifting up gave me a great view of the city, one that made me wish I’d brought more than my notebook and questions for the emperor. Seeing everything from so…-

If Ocellus had her way, she would climb back aboard the ship and abandon this foolish mission. The cause might be just—spreading friendship to those who would otherwise be attacking allied creatures in the Stellar Compact—but it was also doomed. Like Cozy Glow, sometimes a creature was so evil they just didn't want to be friends.But Twilight's desperation was palpable in everything she wrote. There was no denying that feeling might be shared by the other creatures of the Compact. Equestria hadn't…-

Unwilling RecruitIt didn’t matter that she had vindicated her and her sister’s greatest fears. Every terrible thing they’d suspected about the ponies was true—but in many ways Jackie no longer cared. Her sister had fallen, her friend Sven. Who knew how many others that the ponies had brought to Unity and tricked.Reality itself soon became a nebulous thing, a specter of vague outlines and batlike wings.

Marie could hardly walk straight. As they made their way out of the forest, she found herself almost tripping over little rocks and roots.

It was like the whole world was colored rose—the trees themselves seemed to glow, and the little forest creatures had a whole new life. Marie’s entire world was shattered.Mum’s always telling me to get my head out of the clouds, but she was the one who was wrong. Magic is…-

There was only one destination left to them now. Evoli knew it, even as the Great Queens would know it. The end of all things waited for them at the fortress called Eternal.It was an ancient place, or as ancient as anything built since the end of the old world could be. It was meant to be a capital of sorts for the changelings—built by a cooperative of many queens and many workers. Riley had been all about symbols and rules. She’d designed the fortress herself.But did you think it would be my army…-

Twilight wasn’t sure when the smoke finally cleared. She didn’t fight nearly as long as some of her friends did—mostly she just wanted to get out of the way. Some part of her mind raged at the destruction of her territory—priceless tapestries burned, and a few thrones broken in various ways.All the time we’ve been together, and I’ve never seen the girls fight like that. There was an obvious cause for all of it—their instincts. Instincts powerful enough that good friends could resort to… was…-

Lotus slept uneasily that night. In a single day, everything she thought she knew about her world was now taken away. Even finding a comfortable position wasn't easy--despite the size of her bed, no human position let her relax. Even when she finally found a way to rest, with her legs out to either side, that only let her physical discomfort fade into the deeper, emotional pain. Her body had been stolen, her financial future was uncertain, and some unknown, dangerous enemy from another world was now…-

Sweet Sauce knew he was brilliant. In terms of ponies who had ever lived, he would've placed himself in at least the top ten, maybe even lower than that. It wasn't his fault that so many other creatures just couldn't see past the tip of their own noses. Equestria didn't really need a constant supply of true genius. Just a few individuals like him were enough, to protect the country from danger and to occasionally intervene when ponies needed saving from themselves.Even knowing and accepting his genius,…-

It wasn't the light that woke Quinn, but something sharp and painful, digging into one of his hands. He stirred, then opened one eye to stare at whatever had caused so much pain. A tiny pink creature had latched onto his fingers, digging teeth into his skin. "W-what?" She released him, leaving a pair of dots where her canines had sunk into his skin, leaking amber-colored sap. "Sleeping too long!" Avery called. Her telepathy was somehow smaller than before, though simultaneously…-

What followed were the strangest few hours of Hayden's life. Suddenly he was surrounded by creatures that he would've considered incredibly dangerous—creatures without humans of their own. Maybe it was for the best that his family wouldn't know what was happening in Shaymin House. If he survived the trip back, he wouldn't include this particular adventure in any of his letters. Some things they were probably better off not knowing. But no matter his fear, no matter the simple truths…-
