Julian took a long time to decide—maybe longer than he should have. Weeks passed, and he ignored the desire to return to the front and help his world expand. That was important, but the danger of the giants was too great. At least so far, diplomacy was going well. Interacting with their own changed former-passengers helped, as they were able to see the fairies who had attacked them more as fellow victims than some evil force that lurked in the woods.He stayed close just in case, though he wasn’t sure…-

"So, how'd you like your first day in Ponyville?" Spike asked, approaching Ember with the nervous steps of a dragon who knows he's probably gone where he shouldn't. It was only the first day of Ember's formal negotiations on behalf of the dragons. She looked far worse than she had after becoming Dragon Lord. Spike had seen this kind of expression on the faces of many guests to Twilight's Castle of Friendship, particularly when they came for diplomatic purposes.Ember wasn't alone. A half dozen of the other…-

Twilight marched out of the otherworldly manor house, conscious of the eyes of the guards and strange ponies on her. It pained her curiosity not to go back to the party and try to meet more of its guests, but not quite so much as her fear of Thunder’s promises.Could he really hold her hostage here for a whole year, doing the terrible things he’d implied? Would Celestia tolerate it?There’s so much you didn’t tell me, Celestia. Did you really plan on waiting for me to find all this on my own?It was a…-

Until only a few days ago, Faith hadn’t even teleported before. The way runes were… considerably more difficult than a simple teleport. She vanished from ordinary space, and her entire world turned dark and cold. Space was a physical thing, pressing in on her from all directions and suffocating her. The instant of holding her breath to go through the wall became an eternity, her head spinning and the only sound her own heartbeat. She couldn’t even feel Arclight beside her, so that at least she would…-

For the second time, Summer found herself on the edge of a pool in the palace, staring down at the clear water’s surface. Only this time she wouldn’t be relying on someone else to change her, or fearing that she would run out of air halfway there. Instead she had other worries. “Why does the court want to see me, Princess? Did we do something wrong?”“Oh, no.” She bounced past her, grinning a little wider with every step. “You know how stuffy old creatures can be. They like to feel like they…-

Silver Star was born for great things. He’d known it from his earliest memories, when he looked up on Moonrise in the middle of a lunar night, when the air outside the shelters got too cold to breathe.Of course he didn’t have a vent of his own—Whites didn’t get to live in the sky-towers built after the model of the ancient Alicorns and their wisdom, but low in the caverns themselves, where the pipes were old, and the water was cold by the time it got to them. But while other creatures crowded…

If Iron Quill was the kind of general he’d copied stories about in the scrolls of ancient history, he probably would’ve flown proudly through the camp then, uniting the surviving companies and making some decisive orders that would save the army. Unfortunately for Nightmare Moon, unfortunately for their chances of freeing Equestria from the tyrant and getting their revenge, he wasn’t a legendary general.Iron Quill flew straight back to the place he’d come from—the stockpile.Despite the disaster…

Silver Star advanced slowly, creeping along the back of the crowd. This was the moment he declared war on Flint and probably her whole army as well. In a city that has done almost nothing but prepare for a war for the last century. But what good would all that preparation do when the ones they were fighting were in their own streets?The shelters weren’t armored fortresses, their doors were only thick to hold all the heat in. That’s why they needed guards.Silver hesitated, taking aim. He’d like to…

The captain's quarters upstairs has room for guests. 92%"I should tell you, I've never actually been in here before," Wayfinder began. She slowed as they crossed the hall, moving at a relaxed pace towards the large door at the end of the hall. "They only assigned this to me after I took the captain position, which was... yesterday. If it's a mess, that's not on me."The stallion no longer carried books and papers; Sunburst had Hazel across his back, her head lolling as she snored. She didn't weigh much, and…-

Their meeting came early the next day. At least, Summer thought it was the next day. The longer she spent in the camp, the less she was able to clearly differentiate one minute from the next. Maybe she'd only been on Earth for a few hours, and all her hours in the windowless almost-jail was warping her perception of time.She knew the meeting would be different because she was warned about it in advance. "If there's anything you'd like to do to prepare, now's the time," said the marine over the phone,…
