Harlequin led the way through Canterlot Caverns, with S following close at her hooves. The caves were so large she knew she could get lost forever if she went the wrong way. Ponies hadn’t really done much to change the caves when they built the place, just sealed up every exit they knew of and hoped for the best. That could mean there’s a way out of here, if we can find it. The caves could go through the whole mountain. The Swarm could easily accomplish a task like that, exploring it with a growing…-

Quill knew that ponies were watching him. He felt no resentment towards the creatures of the camp for staring—it wasn’t their fault that they were fascinated by the bizarre creature that he had become. His transformation from elderly general into elderly deformed cripple was entirely Aminon’s creation. At least he had the satisfaction of knowing that the monster had died for it.The downward force Nightmare Moon had named “gravity” was not so harsh a mistress here as it was upon Equestria’s…-

Dear Journal,Holy crap have I been stupid. Majorly, royally, inhumanly stupid. Give me some credit: I’m not human. My head is smaller than it used to be, I figure my brain must be smaller too. Some of that might be smaller body to control, but it can’t all be that simple. Some of it’s got to be less brains. Maybe we’ll do an MRI or something and figure out the specifics.Maybe you'd like to ask why I was so stupid. If you've been reading my journal straight through until this point, you probably…-

It had been a long time since Twilight heard the bells of warning toll through the ancient castle. So long, in fact, that she wasn’t even sure they were still working. She learned then just how well they were doing as the ringing disrupted her concentration and caused a spell she was working on to fall apart. At least I don’t sleep anymore. If I still did that, I would probably be annoyed. When Twilight grew annoyed, her choices became… suboptimal. Her castle staff were probably happier that she…-

Twilight couldn’t have said where the transport circle brought them. Not to the palace as she had guessed it would, or anywhere else in the city. A runic circle like that might go a hundred meters or a hundred miles, and so long as something supplied it with power, it wouldn’t matter.They stood near the edge of a plateau, where a thin layer of ice covered the ground, making every step treacherous. Twilight could see no sign of civilization in any direction.One thing she didn’t do was step out of the…-

The door banged open, hard enough that Hayden was surprised it didn’t shatter into splinters. A single unicorn stood in the opening, with a cloud of servants running after him. There was no suggestion of how such an old unicorn could’ve beaten so many young ponies to her bedroom. Some ways behind him, she thought she could make out Snow Storm in the distance, struggling to keep up.Honed Edge snapped alert as he entered, weapon already drawn. He didn’t seem to recognize the unicorn—though the royal…-

Theo had been in government buildings before, when she’d been gunning for her current position. Current, former position.Either way, she found the inside of the embassy strikingly similar to plenty of identical structures she’d visited before—polished marble floors, too high ceilings, and metal banisters. It was all about showing stability and casual wealth for anyone who visited. They represented whole nations, after all. They couldn’t do that without showing off.Once through the doors, Theo…-

Jackie had preserved Meliora from being completely overwhelmed with refugees… at least until somepony found out they were living in a dream. But she could do nothing to prevent that, nothing besides making sure that the vast population of Meliora received good instruction into the mechanics of their bat pony powers. They would learn the truth, eventually. The circumstances of that revelation would decide whether her attempt to give them somewhere safe to live ended in terrible failure or audacious…-

Even Sunset Shimmer couldn’t help but admit that the portal was impressive. The formerly-human engineers had been working overtime, sourcing materials from the little bits of machines that they’d dragged over, or even from the city itself. Sunset hadn’t followed the process, but she’d seen dozens of them moving in and out of the city in regular shifts.And now it was assembled. While Luna and her diminishing army fought in the south, the humans had found a way to reinforce in the north. Most…-

"So... explain why we've got to do this?" Rainbow Dash asked, for the fifth consecutive time. The medical kit was spread out along the ground around them, each piece resting alone on the bare stone. This procedure was incredibly simple when you had hands; lacking them made this almost impossible. Of course Rainbow Dash was getting frustrated, having to do things with their hooves and mouth that she never would've had to struggle with before. It wasn't fair to her, really. That didn't mean he wasn't going…-
