Magpie couldn’t have said how long she lay there, her concentration so fractured that she couldn’t process what was happening around her for longer than a few moments at a time. Shapes surrounded her, and she knew some of them. Should she keep fighting? Was Moonrise still in danger?She tried to ask, but nothing that came out her mouth ever quite became words.She felt it when the lights came on, a brilliant glow she knew ought to be there. Did that mean they’d won? She hurt too much to care.Eventually…-

Let the infection take its course 72%There was no doubt in Twilight’s mind that this was the right course—as she watched Fluttershy’s scanners, more and more she realized that they were completely out of their league. Trying to teleport the infection out might have made for a daring last-second-save, but more likely it would’ve just made Apple Bloom bleed to death on the operating table. Twilight had not studied medical magic, she couldn’t close thousands of little capillaries and veins at the…-

Magpie watched as Luna faced Nightmare down. This was the moment all her efforts might become meaningless. If the princess turned against Moonrise now, there was nothing any of them could do to stop her.“The Luna I know wouldn’t listen to it!” Magpie shouted. She ignored its furious anger, focused on her like a magnifying glass. It could focus all its attention on her and it wouldn’t be able to capture her body again. “You fought injustice your whole life! You know what Nightmare will bring to…

Magpie crouched low as they neared the extreme edge of the cavern, where long ago a ritual combat arena had marked the place for many creatures to fight and die. She had stood in those stands and watched as Nightmare’s champion died at the sword of a helpless old scholar. She’d seen a mountain of “rebel” ponies slaughtered at the order of the final Lord Commander.But in the years since, the arena had fallen into even greater disrepair. Gravity disc was less interesting to most creatures than…

Twilight uses the Perseverance of Insight 57% “Anything I should know before I try this thing, Node?” Twilight said, hesitating on the edge of the chair. But after considering her options, there was really no way around it. Node’s loyalties were still questionable, and Rainbow Dash just didn’t have the mental fortitude to withstand the effects of an alien device. That left her.Node shrugged one plastic shoulder. It was a convincing imitation of something Twilight might’ve done. “You will have…

The Radiant Hope finally arrived at the place that corresponded with home in her world, the settlement she'd been told was called "Flurry's Vigil." From her porthole far above, Kyle saw a few dozen wooden buildings and a temporary wall, along with a huge field for their vessel to touch down. Like the ship itself, it looked like something ripped right out of history.The one called Princess Twilight arrived to personally escort them out. Kyle's first other Alicorn that wasn't a baby.It was as obvious then as…

Magpie caught them up on everything she’d seen and done, though she was light on the details that had led to her void compass. At least she could save her pride, since the specifics of how she’d “stolen” it from Polestar didn’t matter very much.She went through the attack on the tram, then what Bauble had decided in just a few more minutes. “We could be worse off,” Silver declared, as soon as she’d finished. He wore a breastplate made of scavenged Alicorn air-armor, along with a belt of…

Perseverance and sleeping ponies 37% Twilight had a bad feeling about what she was about to do.There was no arguing with the hunger for information in her gut, the quiet flame that had stayed burning since her first expedition into the Memorial. Twilight had been leading this expedition in ignorance for long enough—it was time to rectify the situation.She started with a trip to visit Node, in the workshop they’d given the machine more to placate it than because they thought they would get anything…
