Life in Mew House was as different from the Shaymin of Sinnoh as those shaymins were from her parents. Maybe the differences came from the region, since shaymin and eevee alike had strict views about how she should be raised, and rigid structure imposed on how she spent her time. In one, that meant sweeping floors, while in the other it represented endless hours spent in a shrine, or else memorizing the purpose of each fork on a formal table, or how to check the accounting numbers given in the…-

Amie could not fly back to the city, even ignoring the boat she had to return. When she was sure nopony was watching—besides the little group of “pegasi” gathering by her campfire—Amie changed again. This time it was the bat self that seemed the more natural. In some ways, she'd used this body more in one night than any other since the Transit. Maybe she should try to talk Pachu'a into letting her bring a pony with her to the Elders?But that wouldn't be safe for him, a juicy steak surrounded by…-

Harlequin was the first through the doors into the strange new prison. She didn’t expect much from the inside—it was basically just here to look nice while bugs were funneled across to the other side. They could tunnel over here, and bring bugs back whenever there was an inspection. It wasn’t like any of the ponies would be able to tell the difference between them.Apparently they’d anticipated the state their prisoners would be arriving in, because right through the doorway she was struck with the…-

Firefly flew before a structure of impossible size, whose origin made even less sense to her. She had spent years in the Cumulus Maze, exposed to every kind of structure imaginable. She had flown through monuments to unknown gods, civilizations long forgotten in the mists of history, as well as modern buildings that could be a trip to visit River.Never in all that time had she ever seen a structure built inside a thundercloud—it went against everything she knew about clouds. Those things take incredible…-

Hayden felt the eyes on her at every moment. She moved through the dark space with Achelois strapped across her back and two of the Blackwings flanking her. She wore her own armored uniform as well, though without the rifle. It wasn’t proper for a general commanding an army to also wield common weapons as though she were nothing more than one of the enlisted troops.This was far from the elegant, courtly dance she had expected. The commanding officers here were all haggard and desperate. She expected to…-

The further they flew, the colder it got.Soon enough it became clear that their strategy of avoiding Feather by staying away from civilization had a price—they couldn’t descend again without buying or finding gas, and so they never did. But not landing meant they had a limited supply of food, and an even more limited supply of fuel.The little firebox struggled to keep the cabin warm against the blasting arctic chill, except when filled almost to capacity. But they were running out of coal much too fast…-

Jamie knew that Starlight Glimmer’s secret knowledge must be hiding far from the world she lived in. Obviously, her secret must rest somewhere that nopony else would ever go, or else it would’ve been revealed years before. But when she turned towards the train station, Starlight gently pushed her aside, gesturing to a trail leading east of town. “The Gem Caves?” she asked, eyebrows going up. “I thought you grew up in northeast Equestria. Wouldn’t your secrets be up there?”Starlight didn’t…-

Ryan wasn't the first through the Worldgate, he never was. The back of the group was always the safest place to stand—let the bigger, stronger members be up front, and the brunt of whatever danger waited for them.Besides, being in back gave him time to move slowly, and appreciate the differences as he passed through. And there were many.There was no rush of gravity and current pulling him through to the other side. There was no flash, no instantaneous moment of realization that he'd returned to his…-

Starlight Glimmer could feel the gradual press of acceleration, sliding her backwards along the deck plating. She didn’t have the natural instincts of other lifetime crew, who could walk about even on the top deck without being blown off. But the princess didn’t seem to mind that she looked a little silly. “I think you must have more information than we do,” she said, keeping her tone flat only through lots of practice with Twilight. “What’s going on in Accipio? Why are the griffons…-

The Alicorn air-armor changed everything for exploring their city.Silver could use the bubble spell just fine, but using it limited their time out to his endurance. The longer they stayed in a bubble, the more stale that air would become. It was why his ancestors had been forced to restrict themselves to short trips, so the air within could be refreshed. The armor required none of that, though it did have a dial of “filter entropy” that dropped whenever he was outside and rose again when he left the…-
