It didn't take long to reach the site of their negotiation with the buffalo. That made enough sense to Blake; if they had to go very far, that probably would've meant the map was bad. Either that, or the ponies had lied to them. At least so far, he had no reason to expect either one.Vesper remained surprisingly close during the brief trip, apparently watching his work. That was fine, the more of their group could sail the better. But it did seem strange that she'd taken a sudden interest, after this long…-

A few months passed. Twilight got her crown, but in general her months were quiet. Twilight still hadn’t been given anything like royal responsibilities.Twilight had to call in several favors to make the potion happen—brought in Zecora to supervise during several sections, brought in laboratory equipment and pressure vessels from the university, even borrowed a linguist from the historical department to clarify the wording of the recipe so there were no mistakes. She wasn’t willing to permit a…-

Dinner in Alexandria was a community affair. Everypony took breakfast and lunch on the go, often using prepackaged pre-Event food. But no matter what you were doing, no matter where you were, you always came for dinner.It probably helped that the group was so small; it helped that there was more than one pony who enjoyed cooking, as well as more than one who enjoyed gardening. Adrian was neither, which meant he got all the reward without any of the effort. Well, effort cooking anyway. Just because he…-

"Avery?" The mew hovered there for a second, surrounded by narrow stone on either side. Though at their size it felt several meters away, it couldn't really be more than a meter. Quinn's transformation had robbed him of any sense of scale. "Part of me wonders why they never gave me a different name," she said. "Lost kitten whose irresponsible parents left her while they did their terraforming work. Has delusions of being human. But Avery didn't annoy them much. My…-

Sunset Shimmer wasn't going to wait any longer. She struck. Not with the sword—that would require crossing the room, making her intentions clear. It would also require the will to kill someone, which she lacked. She would not make herself into Nightmare Moon, no matter how justified her cause became. With the Element of Intellect serving her, the resources of thousands of minds and all the power of their thoughts, it should be easy to defeat even a determined enemy. She attacked unconventionally,…-

"Anytime. I can tell you all about what it's like to be a mew, that's what helps me change." Eleanor sighed. "Hayden, I think we've had this conversation before. Loch and I don't use personality. It’s about appearance—inside and outside. All this time being your handmaid, I could probably change into your twin if I wanted." She sighed, running her hands absently through Hayden’s hair. "Did I catch that right? The jirachi had to pull Julian off you on your…-

Amie studied. Noise echoed through the old mine all around her—bugs shouting to each other, depositing heavy loads, and sometimes singing as they worked. When she had first returned to their cabin, Amie found creatures that were overwhelmed and desperate. Not anymore. She had given them purpose.While they worked, she poured over the book that had cost her a spy. It was written in the same language as the Equestrian writing, which meant Amie could read it. She still did not know why—nor had she even…-

“There’s nothing illegal about leaving the city,” David said. “Based on the way people are acting, they’d probably be happy to have us gone. But nobody living in the city knows what it’s like out there, except for the retrieval teams. And they don’t live out there, they just visit. But you… you know. And you’ve got the magic of a whole army. And you probably have the money to outfit us.”She didn’t, not if he was right about the “half the bats” figure. But she knew where to get…-

Not-Prince Velar knew when he wasn’t wanted. He could sense it in the hospital staff, in the constant eyes he felt whenever her went down the hall for lunch. The guards he could feel shadowing him all the while, though they tried to keep their presence discrete.Maybe that would’ve fooled ponies, who wandered through life half-blind and deaf at every moment. But Velar had been trained for war—he could sense an assassin even if they were an owl flying on the other side of a wall.He saw less of…-

Park somewhere safe and walk through the tunnel, (43%)Elliot could've barged straight through, just like Sam wanted. But whatever had torn through that police blockade could do far worse things to the two of them, half-transformed into who knew what impossible forms.He turned sharply back the way he'd come, then down an alley between a few darkened shops. The space was largely deserted, missing many of the cars he usually found parked there. "Pedestrian tunnel opens near the parking structure on 30th.…-
