Dear Journal,I found her.Some of the mystery is solved at last, assuming what I’m being told is true. I found the one who made the runes, I found the one who’s been sending the coded messages. I found the one who’s been looking for us! She’s been looking for us as much as we’ve been looking for her! Too bad she doesn’t know how to use a car, or else she probably would’ve been here months ago and lots of the stress and mystery would’ve been circumvented.She didn’t try to kill me, or do…-

Go left regardless of context or apparent dangers. 66% Applejack’s eyes narrowed as Twilight fought with her crowbar on the entrance to the service stairwell. A layer of creamy white film had formed over the doorway, and she had to work the prying end of the crowbar along the edge, working it gently as the metal started to give.“So… let me get this straight…” Applejack repeated. “We’re not going to try an’ fix up one of the here automated chariots and fly there. Instead we’re going……-

He fell.Jacob couldn’t breathe, couldn’t see. He could feel though, feel his friends close to him in that void, passing through to the same destination. His lungs burned—he hadn’t been able to exhale the way Harley had suggested, and so they burned.He tried to move, struggle, scream, anything. Nothing worked. It was almost as though he didn’t have a body at all. Is this where I die?It should be. How many lives have you stolen already?Jacob stumbled to his feet on the pavement of a familiar…-

They released Lotus early the next morning, after a night of strangely restful sleep on an otherwise threadbare cot.The various burned ponies were already gone, moved to whatever proper hospitals would continue treating their wounds.At least the nurses didn't honor the threat to keep that strange ring around her horn for days or even weeks. Once she promised to be careful with her magic, they let her go.Gus and Iron were both there to retrieve her, along with an earth pony wearing an oversized hat."Already…-

The tiers of Kumari stretched further than Twilight had thought possible. Rainbow’s modest apartment seemed like it would be at the bottom of the stone, where light faded into distant blue—but she was wrong. What she had initially taken to be the bottom of the city, covered with dead coral and a layer of marine snow was actually more like a crust.“Here we are,” Rainbow said, floating gently beside a heavy metal hatch. It wasn’t steel, though it was covered with a greenish patina of something…-

In less than a week, Twilight had seen all kinds of incredible places, all a half-step away from the reality she knew. But the ocean was no foreign realm—pony ships could be passing above them right now. A diving bell might drop, or a unicorn with the right spells could visit for brief periods to study undersea life. This was no underworld, or spirit realm. Like the vampires that stalked Canterlot, this was real.If it were possible, Rainbow Dash swam even better than she flew. Her fins cut through the…

The metal door squeaked so loudly as Twilight pushed against it that it didn’t even need a bell. The interior was dark, barely lit thanks to the light that reflected through the single grimy window. “Hello?”The door swung shut the instant Spike let go of it, almost a little too fast. Twilight spun around quickly, but no, there was no sign of anypony there. She lit her horn with violet light, spinning back around and surveying the rest of the building.There was a glass shelf running along one wall,…

“You know Twilight, when you promised you wouldn’t forget to bring me on your next adventure, I really thought you were just saying that to make me feel better,” Spike said. “But you actually let me come with you!”Twilight and Spike had traveled further from Ponyville than she ever usually went, not without one of her friends on some “friendship mission” or maybe a royal assignment. But here she was, with no royal scrolls in her saddlebags or escort of guards. She wouldn’t need them this…

Fluttershy looked up from her work, pausing long enough to toss the remainder of the prepared vegetables into the large basket before hurrying to the door. Who could possibly be visiting at such an early hour? Twilight or Rarity would've sent ahead to make sure she was expecting them. Applejack would be doing her chores, and Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash would probably be sleeping off whatever excitement they'd been up to the night before. Her steps grew more hesitant as she crossed her cabin, dodging deftly…-

Theo couldn’t have said how long she held there, sobbing into the shoulder of a stranger. Whatever shame she might’ve had had been left behind on the ice, along with so much else. But eventually there were no more tears left, no more sobs in her lungs. She pulled away, sat up, wiped her face. “I’m sorry… I’m not like this normally, I promise. This is…”The stallion and the girl were both watching her, much more sympathetic than frustrated or annoyed. “You’re one of them,” the stallion…-
