Dark and pronounced against the swirling storms of dust, Tirek sheltered his eyes beneath his bicep. He could see the end of this tiresome weather now, just over the valley's towering walls. A rich green canopy beckoned to him through a film of sand, promising reprieve. The Forbidden Jungle, in all its glory, appeared to still be alive. The centaur trudged forward, unbothered by the shifting dunes and scorching bedrock beneath his hooves. Like a bloodhound following a trail, he closed in on this…-

“Will you come down to the ground with me?” Fluttershy swallowed. Even her bravest face brought her little strength. Each of the creature’s eyes was twice as big as she was, and they stared at her, unblinking. She could see her own reflection in those deep purple lenses. She could see her smile falter in them. “I won’t try and apologize for the actions of my friends, nor will I condone yours. I believe this whole mess was avoidable, and that’s why I want to try and cool things down, now.…

“Everyone to me!” Starswirl screamed. His eyes were caught in an anomaly all their own, a gravitational well that fixed upon the beast before him. It reared up on a pair of talons, and so the sorcerer, at last, got a good look at it. It was the size of a roc, boasting a wingspan to boggle the mind. Instead of feathers, curled claws bent from each wing like sets of fingers. A third appendage sprouted from its backside, mimicking a tail, and while the creature stood on solid ground, this tail thrashed…

"And so then I turn to myself and say, 'Discord, why not have the telegrams dance a jig and perform chamber orchestra in mezzo-soprano? Fluttershy deserves the best for her birthday!'" "Sudo!" "That's what I said! 'Why didn't I think of that?' I'm always coming up with grandiose ideas, but do I ever give myself credit for them? No sir." Strolling along the ethereal stitching of reality, Discord stepped through the mouth of yet another tear in the fabric. He regarded the landscape of rolling fields…

4. What Lurks in the Woods
Twilight bit her lip. The crunching of branches beneath her hooves now bothered her immensely. How did she ever manage to tune it out before? "Starswirl, you've never seen petrification like this before?" Silence. Starswirl seemed to acknowledge the question with a movement of his head, but it could have been a trick of the eye. "I sure haven't," Starlight offered, attempting to grease the conversation. She gave her mentor a strained smile. "And I've studied magic just about as long as Twilight…-

3. The Cold Nature of Stone
Starlight winced. Every step she took brought the loud, excruciating snap of a dried twig with it. To shift her weight was to draw attention to herself. To reposition herself was to break any hope of concentration. To make matters worse, the black soot of decayed foliage clung to her hooves, adding a gritty feeling to every step. She gave an aggravated sigh. Looking in at this chaos from someplace warm and bright was a privilege she very much missed, and their detour around the forest had gone by far…-

"Bon Bon?" The pony in question nodded. She mouthed something but gave up halfway through. "You're a part of Celestia's response team?" "Yes," muttered Bon Bon. "It's nice to see you again, too, Princess Twilight." Twilight grimaced. "I'm sorry, that was rude of me. It's good to see you again, too! I'm just surprised to see you here. I always thought you were a-" She paused, and that mistake derailed her train of thought entirely. Come to think of it, what did she always assume Bon Bon did…

1. Silence of the Everfree
Part I “Alright, Miss Honey Cake. I need you to go through this one more time for me. What exactly is it that you saw?” Honey Cake tapped her hoof against the ground. It grew faster with the pace of her heart. Beyond the investigator—a beige mare with sternly-set eyes—the still and silent forest continued to call out to her. An expanse of dark green canopies had become a barren waste of skeletal branches, gnarled and ghastly. She could see so much farther past the dead vegetation, now. She…-

Life and Death
Never had I seen a Pokemon display such terror in a mere expression. I could tell you of the shadows, and how they consumed that warm, bright clearing in a matter of moments. I could tell you of the frigid wind that shook the trees, or the sense of looming dread that seemed to creep at the corners of my mind, but nothing compared to the staggering change in that Helioptile’s face. Like an actor reacting to a falling curtain, the creature’s whimsical demeanor vanished with the darkening sky, and it…-
