It was just a dream, it was just a dream…Hayden found herself returning to consciousness in the burned-out wreckage of a fortification, surrounded by the dead. There were hundreds of them—ponies, birds, a few other creatures. All dead around the place where she and Luna had fought for their lives.She was herself again, no longer some strange hybrid of pony and human. The sky was still dark, though there was something missing. The cage of light, the creature it had contained, both were gone.There was…-

Star almost couldn’t believe her eyes. While they gathered supplies to reinforce the top floor of the building in case they needed to retreat, Star watched the battle projections play across the inside of her helmet.She couldn’t understand a great deal of it—much of what the helmet wanted her to see was scrolling human words, unreadable to her.While the trained soldiers worked, she remained behind the lines with the volunteers. Each of them had a gun now, and they at least knew how to point it in the…-

Just because they'd decided to have one last conversation with their grandfather before trying to escape didn't mean that it would happen right away. Kyle called only minutes after Akiko had left, but they hadn't reached him directly. His secretary had promised that he would get back to them by evening—not much of a promise when they didn't even have a window. Kyle used the time productively. Her magical studies slowed considerably while she had Fay with her, but that was just an inevitability she would…-

Magpie had rarely seen so many ponies in one area before. They packed in so close to one another that part of her worried about the oxygen concentration of the brand-new climate control systems. Dome 3 was the first of its kind, likely the first of many such structures that would one day be erected on the lunar surface. There was no reason to be pushing it so far above its usual capacity.The stage was directly below the dome’s center, meaning the sky of spun glass was as high as it could be. It was…-

Perseverance of Insight Twilight didn’t have to think long about her answer. Getting there was a little trickier, but made simpler by the map. That, and the fact that she’d already been to the surface once. There would no longer be any danger to the teleport when she had seen the destination once. So she took them back to the surface, with a single flash of magic from her horn.“I am… unhappy with that process,” Node said, as soon as they were back on the surface. “The way you fold space is……-

The world dissolved around her. Hayden felt the ground lifting up and away from her hooves. The ponies all around her dissolved into the nothing, and all the world was unmade. The great keep of Icefalls cracked and came up into the air in tiny pieces, followed by little chunks of stone that were the buildings. What her terrible storm hadn’t destroyed to keep the griffons at bay for a few minutes more, now crumbled awayIt’s just a dream, it’s just a dream, it’s just a dream.Then she saw something…

Jamie remembered this death. It had been so recent, the memories still fresh. If only there was enough of Flurry left in that well to ask, maybe she could’ve been ready for this. She didn’t know what to do, and had no power to fight. Her horn sparked once or twice, but Twilight’s magical construction was impossible to break. She might as well try to stand on a launch platform and hold down a rocket with her bare hands.“Before I cast this…” Twilight set the wax aside, stepping back from her…

Twilight spent most of the flight in the Radiant Hope's bridge, making occasional adjustments to their flightpath with the tracking spell. After being redirected once, it crossed her mind that they might be heading in the wrong direction, and that only more of Flurry's magic would be waiting for them up north. Maybe Theresa had only acted supportive, and intended to warn her allies to move Flurry somewhere else.Twilight could imagine that, but some part of her had a hard time accepting it. After months of…

Of course it couldn’t be as simple as just walking back into Moonrise and waiting to be showered with praise. After all, most of the creatures in the upper city had lived a life of plenty under Rockshanks’s rule. Whatever preparation they had to do for a war not likely to ever happen was a small price to pay.A small force of unicorns had erected a shield around the entrance, which Nightmare Moon cut through with little effort. She might not wield the power of a goddess anymore, but she was still a…

Follow Twilight's magic underground 45% “I don’t like any of the obvious paths,” Twilight said, turning away from the staircase up and the hallway deeper into the building. “Those might not show us the truth. But maybe if we can get behind all that…” she hesitated, closing her eyes for a second and following her horn. Yes, there was certainly something underground. It wasn’t that deep, they wouldn’t be climbing miles under the surface like last time.She gestured, setting off in that…
