Celestia already tried this, Twilight thought, desperate. She’d been there for that battle, and she had a fairly good idea how different it would be now that her enemy had significantly greater resources to fight her with. If it came down to a simple contest of power, she would lose just as Celestia had.She had to do something else, and quickly. Twilight’s mind spun, before she settled on her answer. A desperate, maybe crazy escape—but she couldn’t think of anything better. She blasted with her…-

He could see from Nightmare Moon’s face that he’d pushed the boundaries of the boldness she would allow. She seethed with anger, as she always looked whenever someone mentioned her sacred city. She clearly hated being reminded of it.He waited a few more terrible moments for the blast of magic that might scour him away from the moon’s surface. It would come eventually—it was bound to, if he kept speaking to Nightmare Moon that way.It didn’t come now. “You make… a certain amount of sense,”…-

Lauren had seen many strange things in the school’s offices before; if anything the peculiar was what kept her days interesting.

If there was going to be any juicy gossip from second period, Lauren would be the one to get it.When she saw a policeman standing outside the assistant principal's office, she couldn’t help…-

Sharp Edge grinned broadly as the first structures of Agate came into view below them. It reminded Theo of plenty of similar places she’d seen on the American northern frontier. Unlike her homeland, these people didn’t have a thousand years of history in the town.The ample use of redwood logs and the local granite made the cabins seem almost like a charming little tourist destination, maybe a ski resort.To say the locals were surprised by their arrival was an understatement. As they emerged from the…-

For the second time in her life, Jamie woke overwhelmed by a body that didn’t make sense. At first there was the familiar vain efforts of her brain, reaching out to reassert whatever passed for normal. She was a pony now, she needed to remember. Of course that was the only thing going on.There was the hospital bed, the straps to prevent her from falling off after her recent surgery. Her hands were turned into stumps, her organs were all shifted and her bones were different. Her face was stretched, her…-

Julian knew he shouldn’t play favorites. Every single one of the surviving ten breezies that had been Avery wanted time with him, and they all got it in various capacities. It had been worse during the first few years, when they argued over time with him (behind his back) like children, but didn’t seem terribly interested in his own feelings on the matter.But there had always been one exception—one Avery that wasn’t like the others. She was easy to tell apart, both by her magic and the way she…-

Nathan doubted his intruder had gotten what she wanted out of her night with him. But she’d been drunk, hungry, and desperate, and he’d been raised better than that. At least being so drunk made her easy to get into one of the guest bedrooms, where she couldn’t hurt herself.“You are not what I expected,” said her pony, in a voice like a surprised guard dog. “The way Chipper Tune looked at you. You look as lonely as she is. But less drunk.”“Humans aren’t always what they seem,” said…-

Jamie knew what to expect—she’d given to the Arcanum Well enough times to know that every vision came with a sacrifice. What price could possibly be worth what she would receive in exchange?Suddenly she was on two feet again, her body lengthy and stretched. She’d been living in space for long enough to start to feel it, her limbs lengthened such that that she experienced a few moments of disorientation. How was she supposed to walk around with two legs again? Far off in the corner, an air-recycler…

Domino watched from the sidelines for the next few hours, knowing full well that he wasn’t needed. Even Plum was now totally engrossed into the war effort, and didn’t need his encouragement. She was going to save her friends regardless of anything he might do.He took a few trips back into the “real” castle, stopping in when Violet returned from her latest city-saving adventure.

Centuries of history, art, and growth all burned before her, consumed in the Nirik's bottomless need. No matter how much she fueled the fires, they always demanded more.Her attention wasn't for Lotus Cinder, not more than any other kirin here. She might not recognize me.
