It didn’t take Lucky that long to figure out Princess Twilight’s message. She sat on her bed in the back of the room reading it whenever she had a spare moment, strumming her guitar absently.At first, she’d been put off by the dissonance between the words and the princess’s described character. No pony who wrote the way she did was going to send out a letter so full of mistakes. And yet, the last paragraph seemed as though it had been written by someone who knew how to use their own language. Why…-

To Sarah, coming back to life felt similar to becoming an alicorn. There was an invisible barrier of energy, and she had to drag herself through it to the other side, like her body was being printed one layer at a time. But it was more than simple fabrication: there was an interface here. Despite going through the gate with Ocellus, she dragged herself towards the light alone.Until Harmony found her, a metallic pony that towered over her even as an alicorn. Its words were a blur of emotion, and it didn’t…

Recursion appeared in a brief flash of white light, hooves settling onto the ground of her old apartment. The suite was lavish, large enough that she had thrown guild parties of a hundred ponies quite comfortably. The whole place looked almost exactly as she remembered it—all her pictures were still on the wall, her books in their shelves, everything. I’ve never actually been here as a pony.She hadn’t visited her apartment much since emigrating. She had tried, but… the memories had been too fresh.…-

Arcane stumbled back into Wintercrest Castle, still a little dazed from the weight she carried. Or rather, the weight she wasn't carrying anymore. It wasn't as though all the nightmares of her past were erased in an instant—but telling the most important person still in her life had certainly made for an excellent start.Equestria waited before her, a pearl increasingly within her grasp. And all the while you've been there, Celestia. But would I be done with this sooner with your help? Or have you already…-

Chapter 14: Doors and Windows”Yes Chance, I'm dead serious. It's time you start learning how to teleport." The downstairs of the library had been cleared for their magic lessons, which was even more advisable than usual when such high-level magic was being contemplated."But... Twilight, it's not possible. Maybe for an Alicorn bending the whole universe is something you can really do. But I'm not an Alicorn! Making holes in the universe takes enormous amounts of energy. I can barely even start fires with…-

Dinner with the family wasn’t much better. His brother and sister both had their own horror stories about school.“We’ve got to make arrangements,” his father declared. “I’ve been looking into the price of farmland. We should think about relocating before the end of the year.”“We will relocate,” his mother argued, just a little of her anger returning. “But we don’t have to be on the run for the rest of our lives. We should emigrate like everyone else is doing.”“You can’t be safe…

The woman who was not Sarah Kaplan was not supposed to be here.She knew that the moment she woke up, with that same sense she always got whenever she was breaking some important rule. It was a sense of energy, of electricity and movement—the adrenaline she might need to escape should her ruse be discovered.Yet there was nowhere for her to run. She was somewhere closed, with barely enough room for her to twitch. There was slime all around her, constricting her limbs. Was that why her hands felt so numb?…

Twilight’s whole body went taut with energy as she heard the horns blare again. The reaction from the others in the room with her wasn’t blind panic—ponies took their spears off the wall, hurried to the door. Meanwhile, those who hadn’t been soldiers and didn’t wear weapons turned to the stairs leading deeper into the tree, fleeing together in an orderly row.“We should help,” Rainbow declared, watching Fluttershy move for the door. “That’s… that’s what we should do, right?…-

Chapter 6: ChecklistsChance lifted the tips of her skis as the lift caught her suddenly from behind, no less disorienting after doing it hundreds of times. Of course for this Chance skiing was a fairly new adventure, and she was still somewhere between a giggle of delight and squeal of terror when the lift had dragged her forward far enough and lifted her up off the ground, with that characteristic hum of steel cables whirring against powerful motors. Soon she was uncomfortably far off the ground, with…

Chance finished her story about the time when the orderlies took her half-eaten soup away, much to her relief. It wasn't as though the smell was doing anything other then make her vaguely sick, anyway. "You know the rest."Twilight nodded. "I think I may be able to get them to suspend treatment for a day. Long enough to see if it does improve, like you said. But..." She sighed. "If I do that, it's going to make life difficult on us both for the next few days.""Difficult on... both of us? Are you gonna get…-
