Harlequin froze completely still as the guard met her eyes; horror plastered all over her face. They found us. She hadn’t been in this colony one day and Equestria had found them. This is when we get shut down and we all starve, just like before. It was like the voice said. They weren’t part of a story, so they were destined to lose. Every single thing they tried…“You, uh… I kind of expected you to be more charming than this, if I’m being honest.” The guard walked slowly up to her, apparently…-

Hayden stood on a mountain of torn paper. The torn wreckage of dead plans was broken at her hooves like the soldiers of the invading army. They had so little time. Three months until the soonest the enemy could arrive, with twice that as the most optimistic estimate.She had solved so much. Outside, Icefalls was changing. She wasn’t alone—she had most of the soldiers of Defiance, many of which were already trained in her strange methods. The city already had a sewer—in a few weeks, its frozen fields…-

The pony leading the boarding party was a pegasus stallion as stern and well-muscled as a pony could be—which still meant he was a little shorter than she was. No firearms on his belt, not even a musket. But then, none of the birds on her ship had firearms either. Gina had made very sure that the monks didn’t get a chance to try and smuggle anything back with them, despite their protests.The officer handed her seal back a moment later. “My name is Captain Skysword, Equestrian Navy. As I understand…-

Shouting sounded from down the hall, accompanied with a hissing and squawking from Kondrak’s helmet. More of that almost-magical communication called radio, perhaps?Star Orchid would’ve been completely lost, except that the Devourers spoke the same language. “They’re coming back!” shouted a human voice. Not terrified, but urgent. “Kondrak, they are marching. Drones say it’s even more than last time!”The human straightened, twitching towards the exit. “It seems this conversation will be…-

A search of the ancient ruins proved more difficult than Faith might’ve initially suspected. With an entirely enclosed space and nopony around to stop her, she would’ve expected to instantly locate a set of iron eyes. Then she could put them on over her real ones, and everything would be perfect forever. Obviously there would be no further trouble with her position in Moonrise once her resourcefulness and success was so plainly known. And with her vision restored, she would be able to salvage all kinds…-

Summer fell amid a gale of roaring updrafts, each one rising from the front of a different skyscraper. Some part of her had wondered why there were so few ponies flying between the dense skyscrapers, and now she learned. The sky didn’t want her here. What was worse: Summer wasn’t some master aerial navigator, able to dodge and weave and dart through the sky with dozens of named maneuvers. Emerald wanted her to learn, but Emerald wasn’t here.They’re behind me. Someone as powerful as Kate will have…-

Jacob was one of the last to pass through the doorway, when the sound of shouting and pounding on metal was loudest and they were helping the weakest through.

Marie’s changeling senses were no mercy to her as the mythical creatures got their second magical-scroll delivery she had seen.She couldn’t read thoughts. Yet with her eyes closed, she could see thick patches of anger and fear, spreading out through the building and approaching rapidly. She clutched at her stomach, groaning with the nauseating feeling of so much anger in such a small place. If being near her friends brought color back to the world, this took it away again.“We should back up,” Marie…-

Lotus lay beneath a field of soft grass. They surrounded her in all directions, nearly up to her shoulders in places. She found the contact strangely soothing against her coat, gently cool after the desperate pressure of their flight from the mine and battle with Searing Gale. In all that time—from the moment of her frightening accident to the transformation that followed and her desperation to master her new powers—she never dared to hope this moment would actually come.But here she lay, surrounded by…-
