Hayden watched the sunrise in the green grass of another time. She wasn't exactly sure how long they sat there—long enough that soft orange light stained yellow, and the many leaves and flowers all turned to face it. Somewhere under it all she knew her body was cold. But that knowledge was a distant truth now, abstract and unfocused. Being forced to such profound Unity had the added benefit of making her resilient to such physical discomfort. Her companion had no such endurance. After a few minutes…-

"I've never captured a pony," Amie said flatly. "I've never attacked one, and I've never hurt one. I don't want to start now."As she said it, dark shapes emerged from the fog all around them—three orange changelings, fully revealed. They'd ditched the saddlebags somewhere too, so their fins stood high and alert on their backs. Otherwise, their stance was much the same—aggressive, ready to break into deadly combat in an instant."Queen—I told you; she was too dangerous. She was going to see through…-

It wasn't just that she didn't have to work in the back of the stand—though after a whole year, her excitement for arranging flowers did fade. Every year it seemed they went somewhere more interesting, gathering plants so rare that they were only described in ancient poetry, or depicted in ruined castles.But now all that was gone. She had all the same freedom, but none of the direction.At least her last…-

It was a strange thing that sleeping could count as work for Vesper. But after devoting hours to asking dockworkers and anypony she could find along the wharf about their ship, eventually she had to admit that she just wasn't very good at this. Convincing people to talk to her was simple enough—but there just didn't seem to be that much for witnesses to see.After asking for hours, all she could know for sure was that a few dockhands working across the wharf thought they saw someone walk onto the deck…-

Magpie crouched low as they neared the extreme edge of the cavern, where long ago a ritual combat arena had marked the place for many creatures to fight and die. She had stood in those stands and watched as Nightmare’s champion died at the sword of a helpless old scholar. She’d seen a mountain of “rebel” ponies slaughtered at the order of the final Lord Commander.But in the years since, the arena had fallen into even greater disrepair. Gravity disc was less interesting to most creatures than…-

Firefly landed atop the cloud, feet from the unconscious form of a creature she had never seen before.After what she had just suffered through, Firefly was hardly in good shape herself.

Mentally she wasn't in much better condition, after witnessing the first death of her lifetime, then almost being murdered herself.Her last few hours had been so confusing in fact that she was barely even…-

Hayden knew in that instant why the child had seemed so familiar. She'd never known Cody this young, much as she'd never seen Sierra before she settled. But now that she was exposed, no doubt remained. "No way that's real." Julian turned towards the noise, the same as so many others. He could barely wait two seconds before a half-dozen soldiers appeared from nowhere, rushing to separate them from the intrusion. More precisely, the guards of Mew House took hold of Julian, pulling…

"You must be planning to turn the other way," Amie said conversationally. As she spoke, the mist parted on the mountains ahead. It revealed the even grade of the highway, stretching with three lanes in each direction. Aside from a little debris, the highway was in perfect shape. Without a word exchanged between them, they both stopped walking, staring up the mountain. At this scale, Stella Lacus was relatively hard to see. Its cabins were thoroughly surrounded by the trees, and daytime meant no lights for…
