Harlequin stared up at the flames, trying to block the screams from her mind. All the comfortable platitudes about how changelings couldn’t feel real emotions, that she would never be prey—all that was shattered now by the agony she felt. But what could she do? There were no convenient water towers to knock over, no storms she could summon to put out the flames.Even if she could appear in Celestia’s court right now and beg for her help, the princess of Equestria would probably be pleased that those…-

Velar’s mind flitted constantly between fear, relief, and maybe a little of something else. Starlight Glimmer had come with him, despite everything she had seen. No pony had seen more of Accipio than she had or had come to know him as well. Now she stood beside him on the ship at the end of his world. First Mount Ignis had done its best to erase Accipio and everything they had ever accomplished. Now their own kind had come to finish the job.“The fleet has mostly surrendered, V-Velar,” the captain was…-

Diary,I can’t believe I took this long to get anything down. Been here a week, and I take until now to have time with my diary. I guess… I guess I’ve done better than any other universe-traveling member of my species before me. Or… I guess not, since I’m just a pony now, and ponies have done this before.Just a pony. Maybe I should stop saying things like that.Welcome to Equestria, population millions of earth ponies, pegasi, unicorns, zebras, and even a few gryphons (who knew those were a…-

Set up shelter right here and rest until morningThe field shelter really was its own little marvel of engineering. As they worked together to get the plastic shell standing, Twilight found herself even more confident of its security against the alien environment around them. This one hadn’t been packed away in an air-evacuated storage cell for the duration of the trip—this one was so fresh she imagined it would still be smelling of fabricator plastic. It still squeaked, and the joints were still stiff…-

Something moved inside, and he leaned to one side to try and peek through the window. Cardboard had been taped up, covering up all but a silver. Jacob thought he saw a pair of eyes squinting down at him for a second, even as something rustled inside.He knocked again, then listened closely. Maybe pony hearing was that much better, or maybe the people inside just weren’t as quiet as they thought they were. “The kid isn’t leaving.”“We can’t just leave her out there.” His insides twisted at that,…-

Living in Ponyville had given Rose plenty of bad days. But of all her most frightening experiences, watching orderlies haul Tracy to the hospital was certainly on the list. If there was one mercy, it was that she hadn't known precisely when he was going to jump, so she hadn't been close enough to see the fall.She watched nervously as doctors flowed in and out of Tracy's room, listening for any hint of what might be happening. Whenever she asked, the responses did little to reassure her."Flying ponies…-

Lyra kept still under Rainbow's boot. This was less about the deception—she had no illusions about her ability to prove she was too weak to fight. But if she struck out too soon, or too powerfully, she might prompt Rainbow to kill her.These vampires have other powers too. I can't think they only have their strength to turn on me. She had felt some of that during the fight—strikes that hit her friends, or that their armor deflected. Someone had used blood as a weapon at one point, ripping through cloth…-

Lane returned to her present with a crashing impact as dramatic as the one that had taken her away. She was better at it—she managed to hold herself in the air as the transformation faded, and catch herself when she lost the wings. Mewtwo and Elisa were standing exactly where they had been, watching with the same nervous concern. "You can't go without me!" Elisa said, nudging up against her. She wobbled, nearly collapsing under the pressure. That particular transformation would probably…-

Despite being the princess of something that shouldn't exist from any scientific perspective Lotus understood, Twilight Sparkle approached their initial conversation with a familiar method of investigation. She wanted to know about kirin—what made them different from ponies, how their magic worked, and how they could transition between Nirik and kirin and back again.She also seemed to know about humans and other worlds, or at least about something called a “mirror portal.” But whenever Lotus pressed…-
