Go with Peter to Learn Magic (75%)"Fine," Way eventually said. "But I don't care how long you were stuck in that cage without company; no being weird."He levitated something over his shoulder, floating it off the counter. At first she thought it might be a satchel, though the size was wrong. It fit him too well, and obviously they didn't have anything in the correct size. But then she realized: it was an old lunchbox with a strap, something she or her sister had used in their childhood."I got it. You need…-

Joseph stood in the center of his vault, appreciating the quality of his work. In all the world to his knowledge, he knew of no creatures anywhere who had seen the potential of magic like he had. Even Archive, holding all of it in her mind at once, had stopped several steps before the really interesting discoveries. Yes, self-recharging lights and using weather magic to feed gravity-driven power plants were an interesting innovation. But they were only a sliver of what magic could do.Before Mystic Rune,…-

Arcane knew better than to wait for Cold Iron in the copy of her prison. If she’d been imprisoned here, she sure as hell wouldn’t want it to be the first thing she saw. But for that matter, Arcane wasn’t the first pony Cold Iron would want to see. She was a rival—a minor supporting character in Iron’s story.Besides, there was a pony who needed to know—the one who’d been working support for this mission. There’s no way Celestia not getting her connected was an accident. She must’ve been…-

Alex made her way to the door with halting hoofsteps. Less than twenty feet, but a monumental distance in her current state. If I burn my cookies because of this...Alex had never imagined she would ever have to know the difficulty and physical strain of pregnancy. She knew it now, had known it for almost eleven months. Never again, Oliver. You're lucky I don't stab you right in the— She opened the door with her mouth, swinging it outward.Three ponies waited outside—one who should've known better than…-

Time blurred. Elise couldn’t say how long it took for Harley to return, flanked by a squadron of guards in gold uniforms. They brought stretchers, one for each pony, and forced even her to lie down. They passed through a dark temple, through twisting caverns lit only by flashlights in the gloom. Mesmerizing lights flickered in front of her eyes. An hour or two of uneasy sleep on the Temple floor had done very little to overcome the fatigue of battle. Eventually, she slept.For most of her life, Special…-

Find Another Way in (63%)They did not have very far to go, really. Another half hour and they were already getting close to Denver.Close enough that the signs of recent trouble were visible everywhere. In the diffuse scattering of neighborhoods and towns that fed into the city, there were dark buildings and empty streets. They drove over the fading remnants of many leaflets, scattered as though they'd been dropped by aircraft. Some clung to trees or smeared the tops of buildings, waiting for rain that…

Dear Journal,I think I better get these details down before I forget them (or else go completely insane). If you (probably just me) notice that I’ve switched from pen-written entries to typed ones glued awkwardly into the book, know that I have a very good reason for that decision.Actually, I’m using the text-to-speech on my laptop, this entry won’t be typed. Why? That’s an excellent question! Because I can’t. Can’t, you ask? Why could that be? Well, now you’ve asked the right question. Not…-

Try to Salvage the Relationship (71%)Elliot hadn't gone out to rescue this girl, risking arrest and worse, only to give up on what they had together after the first sign of trouble. We're going to fix this. We just have to last until then.Things would get worse before they got better, but that was a problem for the future.Elliot lingered outside the shower for a few seconds, either talking himself into something very stupid, or psyching himself up to do something daring. Not that it would've been difficult…

“I can’t believe you’d let a crazy walk all over you like that,” Solar Wind muttered, shoving the paper card into her pocket. “Weren’t you threatening me with all kinds of crazy things, like… yesterday?”It was still night, so at least there weren’t many other creatures in the transfer station. A few food carts sat dark and cold against the wall, but here the lights all worked and the benches were freshly cleaned. Magpie made her way towards the stairs, leading up to the Starseed line. The…-

“I don’t have a bucking clue why he trusts you,” Goldleaf muttered, as they left the Tower behind. There were sets of air-armor available for both of them, but they’d both decided against bringing any. Neither of them really needed the protection, but plenty of creatures in the Constabulary might.That meant they trudged across the moon’s surface with nothing but Goldleaf’s bubble, lit with the steady glow of his magic. It was enough to keep any bats from shadow-stepping within sword’s reach,…
