Twilight didn’t march straight for the pony upstairs—if Twilight saw her coming, she was very likely to panic. On the other hoof, a sudden appearance would briefly startle her, but there was very little chance of her being able to escape once she got close. Twilight remembered perfectly well how awful it was to cast any meaningful spells while under Starlight’s curse. There was no chance of being overpowered here.Twilight walked to one side of the bottom floor, where she would have a good view of top…-

There was much that Arcane was afraid of for her first steps into Equestria, and almost all of it was tied to the reactions of her fellow ponies. She had always known that Celestia didn’t judge her—that she didn’t even care what Ashton decided to be. Or more precisely, that Celestia would care very much and would ultimately only allow her to choose things that would lead to her long-term satisfaction.The princess’s initial allowance might as well be a lifetime of religious absolution, all…-

“I don’t like this,” Rarity said, for at least the hundredth time that day. “I don’t like this one bit.”“I don’t get what the big deal is,” Rainbow countered. “They did what you wanted. Doesn’t that mean it’s okay?”They hadn’t gone back to the castle, but straight to the little shipyard a short walk along the wall away. It was quite small—even her own peacetime Equestria had more ships than this, so she suspected it was just an emergency stockpile. Mostly tiny scout ships,…

The pony city of Canterlot might have the same name as the real city she’d left behind, but its charming design led far more to confusion than it did to understanding.Sunset thought she’d be heading for the train station, yet as she got closer, she realized the path she was on led right to a cliff. She hadn’t noticed because dozens of ponies were still taking it, sliding off into the void and coasting down on their wings to the train station below. The flow of messengers and businesspeople up and…-

Ashton was a little disappointed to see that after cycling through so many different avatars, so many different options and possibilities, Emmet settled on a pony that looked almost exactly the same as the one he’d been when he came in, just a pegasus instead of an earth pony. Even if some part of him had known it would end that way—that part of him had a right to feel put out, so far as he was concerned.Of course, the rest of him was so busy digesting all this new data that he could barely find enough…

It had been nearly two months since James had felt solid ground under her hooves. When they finally landed, she practically fell off Dust's back, spreading her hooves and embracing the ground like an old friend. Lightning Dust rolled her eyes, muttering something James couldn't quite hear. It took her several repetitions before James finally looked up."Since you can't fly, we need to kapti trajnon. Dodge Junction is close, malmulta distanco if we hurry. I don't know if the ponies who came for you were the…-

"You must describe it to me exactly, Alicorn," Winding Wheel said, his voice absolutely calm. Calmer than he thought he would've felt at his own execution. Calmer than he had any right to be, really. "Exactly what you want to see. The event in as much detail as you know it, with as much of the background as you can. I must construct a temporal sympathy as you might create a spatial sympathy for a teleport."He rested at the table he had used for the majority of his visions, constructed only a decade ago.…-

Some part of Iron Quill hoped that some of what the Polestar had done had made him magically immune to the cold. But as he returned to the colony beside the exhausted princess, he was disappointed. The air still caught in his chest with his first breath, sucking what little of his strength was left and assaulting him like a physical force.As he entered the cave, he stopped for a moment to appreciate Nightmare Moon’s work. A gigantic metal spike pierced the ceiling now, almost directly overhead. It…-

The first thing Avery felt was the dashboard as she smacked into it. Her seatbelt had somehow slipped off her arms, though it held her more firmly around her legs. If it wasn’t for that, she might’ve gone through the windshield. She could smell the fuel after that, hear the persistent siren in the car as it wailed.She must’ve hit damn hard, because nothing felt right. Her extremities had gone numb, and her head throbbed in a way worse than any of her migraines.After an indeterminate length of time,…-

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…
