"Starting with me," said another voice. Shiloh spun, to find Lane making her way over. She was back to being human, with a shaymin riding her shoulder. She looked almost exactly like Shiloh had first seen her, in that underground facility. Would they have spared themselves all this heartache if she just turned away then, and tracked the mew down another time? "Seriously, Reshiram would've killed me. Don't know what his deal was, but it must be old. Maybe he remembers when there was…-

The Patient Safety and Monitoring system was running well that day. Everything about the grounds was in perfect shape—power was stable, there were no signs of water leaks, and the facility had been undisturbed for months. If the PSM were capable of satisfaction, it would certainly have been pleased with all those conditions.There was only one nagging problem, one that kept it looping forever, without ever remaining in a sleep cycle for long.Alpine General Hospital's PSM had no patients to look after. Nor…-

The throne room had been a spectacular chamber in its days of glory. But the war above had not spared it—as Evoli walked inside, she had to climb over huge chunks of fallen crystal, probably dislodged by the weapons of the ones defending it. There were four colors, each specifically grown here rather than found. Green, orange, red, and blue, each one divided in a circle where many thrones had been.There was a seat here for every one of the Great Queens. But thanks to Evoli, there were only two of those…-

Sunset stared at the wall in her latest in a series of dull physics classes. The lecturer droned on, as he had done for what felt like years. Sitting in these rooms did strange things to her concentration, forcing her to remain on task and improving her memory such that she never forgot a lesson.Yet in spite of all the pressure in the back of her mind, trying to nudge her thoughts back to the board and the n-body simulation techniques she was learning, Sunset found she no longer cared.“Excuse me,” she…-

“There’s probably somewhere more important for you to be,” Honed Edge said behind her, a little reproving. “Big important generals should be doing big important things.”Hayden wore a stiff uniform coat against the chill, which always seemed to find a way to leak into Icefalls these days. Their weather team just didn’t have enough pegasi to keep the farms and the city warm, and so they focused on the farms. “And what should I be doing, Edge?”The carriage rolled swiftly out of the city, its…-

Ryan walked with Aerial down the hall towards the exit. "Thank you," he said, and meant it. "You can't possibly know how much this means to me.""I know exactly how much it means to you," she said, poking him in the chest with one leg. "You radiate it like flames. That kind of love burns all it touches. It burned the queen, and it will burn you if you aren't careful. Like all flames, you must not let it master you."She fished around in a pocket, withdrawing something with her mouth and tossing it to him.…-

Hayden had no idea what she was doing. In some ways, that had been true since she arrived in Equestria, and had realized she wasn’t even welcome there. But compared to her preparations for dealing with nobility, or convincing the ponies of Defiance to help her, the size of the difficulties arrayed against her seemed insurmountable.She was not a great general, as Lodestone had already pointed out. She was the sort of leader who managed coordination in the background, not who could lead the charge at the…

"Step within, or the others die!" Celestia's voice boomed out from the glowing sphere, so loud that several crewmen dropped to their knees. A few kept firing their strange weapons into its surface, without effect. They might be more than a match for the royal guard, but this was the Alicorn herself. Her power was so great that it could not be easily confined."Wake up," whispered a voice in her ear, literally. It was Pixie, perched on her shoulder and overcome with fear. Rarely had she heard the little…-

Hayden was on the train again. She still remembered her last time in one of Shaymin House's private cars, frothing with nervous energy and fear over her first encounter with her adoptive family. But that Hayden was a different person, and not just because he was a boy. While that version of herself was ignorant and afraid, her new self was a little less of those things. Yet, the nervous energy wasn't any different. She couldn't sit still on the train for more than a few minutes. Now that…-

Marie’s world got colder the instant her friends left her behind. It was more than just losing the colorful spots they made in the room, though that was part of it. Marie felt as though the whole world got blurry and out of focus, and staying awake was so hard.So she didn’t try. She felt movement in her sleep, and a few dim impressions of distant voices trying to wake her. She could smell their worry and concern even while asleep, and that made her feel a little warmer. But not warm enough that she…-
