If Emmet expected to wake up the next morning feeling totally different, instantly aware of some magical solution to his problem—he was disappointed. Hoofhill seemed exactly the way he remembered it, so Celestia or her enigmatic sister hadn’t changed anything during the night. To his relief, digital clones of his parents did not arrive, and there were no missives from mysterious Equestrian relatives heretofore unknown.Emmet spent what felt like a few weeks slowly adjusting to life in the little…-

Gale was worn, bloody, nearly broken. The monastery stone was soaked with blood, dribbling down from the carnage above. His own foreleg was heavily bandaged, and the ledgers of grain and vegetables were splashed with bandit blood.There were three of them dead on the floor near the stairs, laying right where they fell. Gale had only taken the time to remove the daggers from them, spreading them casually around the room where he could reach them. Behind him was the final, greatest target of the nameless…-

Jackie dropped the large bag onto the ground in front of her with an enormous thump of heavy cargo. Bats gathered around in the tiny warehouse all turned to stare at her, looking at the bag with expressions that ranged from idle curiosity to fascination.“How did you even find this place?” asked a taller male bat with a ragged ear and a scar running across his face. “We didn’t invite you here.”“Nopony told you?” Jackie tilted her head to one side, glancing between each of the bats in turn.…-

They read through most of the night. They read until the fire burned down and the sun filled the top floor of their shelter with creamy light.

But she didn’t feel hungry anymore, and the limits of their food supply no longer made her apprehensive. There were far bigger things to worry about now.The books told the same, troubling story. They told the story not of the two of them transported to an alien…-

Rainbow Dash might not be able to read griffons as well as ponies, but even she could tell this wasn't going well for her. What was worse, griffons seemed to have their own version of the pony herding instinct. As her conversation with Gilda became more heated, Dash could feel more and more pairs of eyes glaring down at her. Griffons perched on buildings, walls, and fences, each one of them staring at her with harsh predatory eyes. Even knowing she was somewhere in Equestria, some deep buried place in her…-

The house at the top of the hill seemed more encouraging the closer Theo came to it. It wasn’t just that it was built in a more familiar manner, with fired bricks instead of the packed snow blocks that the locals seemed to use. But there was smoke rising from several chimneys of different heights, and a huge slowly turning wheel on the outside. It was hard to say what it actually did, at least until Theo saw where it ended.There was a tiny outbuilding beside the house. He could see a huge stone wheel…-

Gabriel charged, tearing up chunks of rock with his armored talons as he went. The crowd roared, many races filling the air with shouts that transformed into a near-uniform rage. Gaius could feel the bloodlust rising, his ancient blood demanding satisfaction. But he fought that down, as he had done so many times before. Gabriel would not have the discipline, and in doing so he was constantly ruled by his anger.Gaius had to be something different, something better. If he couldn’t, then birds everywhere…-

Nightmare Moon was apparently right not to be worried about them. Twilight spread her wings, lowering her head submissively to the guards. “I’m not going to resist.” Nightmare Moon’s plan seemed obvious to her now—she probably hadn’t teleported more than a few feet. She wanted to see if Twilight would reveal her true motives now that she was arrested.But just being arrested was nothing she was afraid of. Maybe we can win over Rarity once we’re in jail. Or maybe we can escape when Nightmare…-

Sunset shifted.The feeling had no correlation with anything she had ever experienced before. The world seemed to sweep out from under her, and for a moment it was as though she couldn’t think. Her mind was frozen, detached from her body and anything other than the strange numbness.The horrible moment passed, and the world came into focus around her. She spent several seconds standing in place and panting, overwhelmed. It was the worst teleport she could remember. Worse than the first one she’d ever…-

Recursion appeared in a brief flash of white light, hooves settling onto the ground of her old apartment. The suite was lavish, large enough that she had thrown guild parties of a hundred ponies quite comfortably. The whole place looked almost exactly as she remembered it—all her pictures were still on the wall, her books in their shelves, everything. I’ve never actually been here as a pony.She hadn’t visited her apartment much since emigrating. She had tried, but… the memories had been too fresh.…-
