For the palace of the princess, Canterlot Castle wasn’t much of what she’d expected. It was really just a large room, with an elegant chair on one end and a few seats for witnesses along the wall. Sunset walked in at the back of the group, keeping her head down. I can see why the Princess is renovating. The throne room she’s building is way more impressive than this.The trip into Canterlot had been uneventful, painfully so. She couldn’t have said which train Flash Sentry had ridden in, but she…-

"You can take the blindfold off now." Alex leaned back in her seat, so she could see Amy's reaction. She had been to Bountiful plenty of times herself, it had no wonders for her. But for her friend...Amy tugged on the blindfold, and her jaws fell open. Alex heard her gasp, letting her awe wash over her along with the flashing lights and colors. Alex remembered her first visit. It was good to see that emotion shared.Bountiful was a city of steel and stone, as the old cities had been. In some ways it was…-

BlakeWalking into Klugetown was a little like seeing a town of survivors after the apocalypse. Considering the state of the waystation where they arrived, maybe this shouldn't be surprising to him. When they eventually returned with an expedition, maybe they could take the time to learn how the world had gotten this way. Maybe it was as simple as immigrants from hundreds of years ago not being able to adapt to having the wrong number of legs. Maybe they were barely surviving after centuries of war?Whatever…-

Velar sat alone as near the prow of the pony ship as he could, staring off into the ocean. They were up too high to see much down there but black water, and anyway his amazing vision turned to washed out confusion as soon as the sun went down. But just now, that was an advantage.Unfortunately for him, the one thing he wanted to see least was still plainly before his eyes at every moment. The strange pony vessel with its impressive magic shield could not keep out the ash.It showered on everything, a fine…-

Tell him, then bring him along 63%“Spike, wake up.” She pushed him gently, but firm enough that he wouldn’t have a choice. It took a little more effort than it might’ve when he was younger. But he was no baby dragon anymore, not small enough to push around whenever she wanted. There was still something cute about the way he curled up, even if he didn’t use the bed, just slept on the floor in a corner. I wonder if that’s what happened because you grew up without any pony role models. Too bad you…-

Jacob felt very tired when he was done, his extremities cold and his skin pale. Even so, he felt good. Lives would continue because of what he had done, even if they might be… ponies. He still didn’t understand that, and just now he was too tired to care. He slumped into one of the window-seats and barely thought about anything. Clouds and blue sky gradually darkened as they flew, but he didn’t mind. His whole life had been uprooted, possibly with dire consequences, and he couldn’t feel anything…-

Mira wandered through the sleeping world. Apparently she was in the land of Hope itself, though she didn't know what that would mean, or how it could possibly manifest.But even she, a bat who usually shunned the full sunlight and wasn't welcome in the company of ponies who walked by day—even she had to admit there was something special about the land here.Maybe it was the unusual light, which filled her with warmth without burning her eyes or making her sweat. Maybe it was the vista of rolling hills and…-

Tracy spent his weekend as far away from his new apartment as possible, returning only when night came and slinking up to his room to sleep. It didn’t matter that figuring out how was getting a little easier (assuming he wasn’t just getting used to it). It wasn’t just about the discomfort; it was the principle of the place. Whatever demonic deal kept him living there, he would follow its terms as little as possible.When Monday finally arrived, Tracy’s return from work brought the first real good…-

Lyra stumbled into the bedroom, delirious with exhaustion and pain. She reached the bed, wobbling from the effort. Finally the effects of her night were catching up with her. The last time she had felt this weak, it was while she went cold-turkey from a substance much worse than the worst mortal drug. But none of that mattered, not when she saw Bonnie's eyes open. “What happened? I thought... thought I was dead.” She held her right arm against her left, where the tourniquet had been. A faint impression…-

Captain Atilla had sent one of his own shuttles down to New Canterlot, its own kind of technological wonder. The shuttle was like a dragonfly made of glass, entirely transparent except for a spine that ran laterally above her. The floor and seats appeared whenever she walked, before fading away to slight distortions again as soon as she was in place.“I still don’t understand these… what do they call themselves?” Escape Gear began from the seat beside her. “Varch’nai,” Felicity supplied.…-
