Vera's next few days went about as well as she might've expected. She had decent business from the town's farmers, dusting off whatever salvage tractors and other hardware they could find for the upcoming harvest. Not all the news she gave them was good, of course. Sometimes a replacement part could be made in one of St. Agnes's two forges. But on the "newer" tractors, it was more often the brains that went out. There would be no more useful replacement parts shipping in from China or anywhere else…-

Adrian hadn’t had this much fun since the Event. This said a great deal, since Adrian was a pony whose whole life was a never-ending search for adventure. He couldn’t sit still for more than a few minutes before his hooves started to tap and his wings started twitching, and he knew he had to get out and do something. Behind the wheel of a huge truck, hauling a freakin’ house behind him, Adrian could feel like he was doing something. Metal groaned every time he turned or hit a bump; inside,…-

"But I don't care how long you were stuck in that cage without company; no being weird."He levitated something over his shoulder, floating it off the counter. At first she thought it might be a satchel, though the size was wrong. It fit him too well, and obviously they didn't have anything in the correct size. But then she realized: it was an old lunchbox with a strap, something she or her sister had used in their childhood."I got it. You need…-

There was already a crowd gathered by the time Hayden made it to the shore. Many of those were Sunyshore's permanent residents, shopkeepers like his parents, or workers in the various factories and nearby mine. None of those spared him a glance as he slipped off the walkway, then hopped the low wall to get back onto the streets proper. At least until they noticed the daemon floating along beside him.

They could talk! Technically, Quinn could always talk, but only at that moment could Avery make sense of what he was saying. It meant his attempt to talk to her had worked, that the mental connection he felt was real. He wouldn’t waste that chance. "He's not the only one here from the funding organization," Quinn said, gesturing down at the fallen guard. "They had a whole team here to protect their particle trap.

Joseph stood in the center of his vault, appreciating the quality of his work. In all the world to his knowledge, he knew of no creatures anywhere who had seen the potential of magic like he had. Even Archive, holding all of it in her mind at once, had stopped several steps before the really interesting discoveries. Yes, self-recharging lights and using weather magic to feed gravity-driven power plants were an interesting innovation. But they were only a sliver of what magic could do.Before Mystic Rune,…
