Their jet had no parachutes, nor any way of landing in the Arctic wasteland below them.“This is really stupid.” Michelle was dressed in cold-weather clothes, along with everyone else. How she had changed while monitoring the plane, Jacob was too afraid to ask. “There’s a research station a hundred miles from here we could land safely and not trash a 65 million dollar plane.”“Yes, let’s add creating an international incident to our list of crimes,” Jackie muttered, flexing her wings. They…-

Tracy did not expect visitors while waiting for the doctors to begrudgingly release him. This was another world, after all, one in which he had even fewer ties than Earth itself. But despite more than half a year of time in Equestria, it seemed there was still plenty for him to learn.First it was several representatives of the flight school, including the safety crew that ostensibly should've been keeping him safe. He wasn't quite sure what to make of their feedback. "That was the best worst flying I've…-

Iron Feather escorted her downstairs, though not exactly straight to bed. As soon as they were out of Twilight's presence, both of them relaxed. Iron slid the spear back into its holster."I tried to keep up with what you two were doing, but..." He looked away. "Couldn't really follow it. Magic is one of those gifts you either have or you don't—and that's before it had anything to do with me. When it's my mate, and my foal involved with the spell." Lotus stopped on the ramp. One section of the huge castle…-

Eleanor would probably have many of her own things to say to Gail's suggestion that Hayden would “spend the night” with Julian. But her sister wasn't there, either to voice her cynicism or make Hayden self-conscious. She'd never met the young mew, so had no way of knowing what it was like to spend time with him. First that meant a quiet corner on the balcony, for Hayden to pose at length in various forms. Despite what Julian claimed about wanting to master the power himself, his true…-

A queen? Amie turned over the word, baffled. But she said nothing, just closed both of her wings and waited. The last thing she wanted to do to a group of armed, frightened people was give them a reason to fear her. Another reason, anyway."I sensed strange emanations from her," Pachu'a shot back, defiant. "But nothing like this. It must be a change. We see history unfold before our eyes—the emergence of the Queen of all their tribe. And we are the first bugs to witness her. We may be recorded in that…-

Theo was lying in the snow. He couldn’t have said how he got there, or what he’d been. He couldn’t say much of anything at first, as his body adjusted to the apparent beating he’d just endured. For a few seconds it was all he could do to twitch and moan, trying to get up. There was motion around him, shouts and boots and many moving figures. More than there should’ve been. God, what happened?Memories were foggy to return at first. There’d been… a confrontation. Kate had been waiting for them,…-

Velar had to guide Starlight Glimmer most of the way into the palace. The pony barely seemed conscious—as though she were committing every aspect of herself to the magic. And a terrible spell it was. The smell of blood was rising from the city all around him, strong enough to overcome the flames of torched buildings. They were murdering innocent creatures. They were killing citizens and slaves alike. They weren’t going to spare any of the lives of those in the palace district. That would include the…-

Silver Star walked away from Magpie, knowing that at any moment the Polestar might decide to kill her. There was nothing he could do—nothing beyond the threats he had already made. And I still don’t know why it wants me working for it. He wasn’t surprised the Polestar hadn’t volunteered. The less he knew about its desires, the less pressure he could put on it.If it keeps its word and doesn’t hurt her, I don’t care. He approached the shimmering field, the shield more powerful than anything…-

Lilac Empathy had the finest quarters a pony could have, the kind of luxury usually reserved for the captain and their senior staff. It meant her own bedroom, with a private bathroom, and access to the ship's “smoking room.” Not that she had ever seen anypony in there actually smoking. Or anywhere else in Equestria, for that matter.They were good quarters, in the kind of place that she might've dreamed about exploring under other circumstances. She didn't just get to see one town in another universe,…-
