Sweet Sauce had little reason to be impressed with a teleportation spell, even one cast without preparation on an entire group to travel several miles at once.Okay, maybe he was a little impressed. They reappeared in Ponyville without blowing out his ears with displacement, or freezing the ground with the sudden shift in temperature. But part of that might just be the change from what he was used to, after living in a world where being able to read a bus schedule meant greater than average competence.He…-

Quinn flew into the dark, faster than he'd ever flown in his life. Not that that was saying much; he'd only been able to fly for two days, and still didn't feel like he knew what he was doing. Purpose drove him, a life that would be lost if he could not repair the damage he had done. One day I'll see the readings, and I'll know what went wrong. If anything failed in that accelerator, it should've been with a whimper. If he'd died alone, that would be one thing—why was…-

Hayden stumbled forward off the train, and into the brilliant sunlight. The cold cut straight through his thin clothing, making him shiver—but he endured it. A servant he barely saw extended one hand towards him, taking the bag off his shoulder. He wasn't sure how close to get to the powerful woman—the one he'd seen depicted in fine portraits and posters all over Sunyshore since he was born. Strange that she looked exactly the way the portraits showed. There were no lines on her face, or…-

Amie should’ve known that talking to her kids would be the easy part. They were desperate for someone to give them instructions, and explain the insanity they were living in. Amie couldn’t explain what she didn’t know, but at least she could impart a sense of order and legitimacy to an otherwise out-of-control situation.By the time evening came around and she had a chance to check on her brother, she found the tent empty. Most of his stuff was still there—but that meant very little. No amount of…-

Orson stopped beside the doorway, his hand hovering over the exit. He felt static against his skin—a subtle buzzing from the gloves. The effect was faint enough that he’d almost forgot it was just a hardware simulation.“How exactly are you going to prove this? Not that… I’m not trying to be rude and call you a liar, honestly. It’s just that what you’re saying makes no sense. If you tell me beforehand, at least I know that the scope of the question hasn’t changed.”Honeycomb nodded…-

Lyra was frozen in her seat, utterly motionless in a timeless space. She could see nothing with her eyes, not feel the chair she was sitting in—but it wasn’t sensory deprivation.The process proceeded in a series of rhythmic pauses and starts, freezing her in darkness for time she couldn’t measure before returning her to the bridge surrounded by stars and her confused friends.Could they even feel it? Bon Bon was standing beside her, and she was speaking. But her words seemed to come an infinity apart.…-

“I don’t have a bucking clue why he trusts you,” Goldleaf muttered, as they left the Tower behind. There were sets of air-armor available for both of them, but they’d both decided against bringing any. Neither of them really needed the protection, but plenty of creatures in the Constabulary might.That meant they trudged across the moon’s surface with nothing but Goldleaf’s bubble, lit with the steady glow of his magic. It was enough to keep any bats from shadow-stepping within sword’s reach,…-

Kaelynn swam endless circles around her prison. She searched the rock in every corner, checked every seal, and ran her hooves along every scratch and deformation in the carving. Finding her way out wouldn't be that different to getting into one of the places her group liked to film: even an attentive and responsible government body could only leave so much to defend a place. Static defenses were a monument to the hubris of man.But the one who made these defenses wasn't a man by either definition. It seemed…-

Kyle flew aboard the pony airship Radiant Hope, a zeppelin of such size that it defied easy understanding. Internally she was about as large as one of those huge Dreamliner aircraft, with multiple floors and plenty of cargo space. Her gasbag was large enough to dwarf the occupied sections, but not nearly so much as she might've expected.But analyzing the impossibility of their transport was far from the center of Kyle's thoughts, given her last few days.The ponies gave her and her sister a private…-

Firefly stood at the center of four cultists. Mercifully her father was the only one behind her. Though it was hard not to feel at least a little fear of him too, given the similar mask and robes. “I have long yearned to make your honored acquaintance, great one,” said another cultist, stepping forward from their ranks. A unicorn with a dark-colored horn and yellow eyes. She couldn't see any more detail through the robes. “Call me Ether Lens. And you are Firefly, yes? The unborn god.”She nodded…-
