Trotting along with a spring in his step, Calor felt as if he was gliding on air. The Crystal Empire stretched out before him as an endless suburb of shimmering houses, all of them decorated with trimmed hedges and neatly framed doorsteps. Crystal ponies cast him warm hellos and glances as he passed by, and he mirrored them perfectly. The warm stone walkway coaxed his hooves to embrace it, begging him to gallop along with it at full speed, while a cooling breeze wrapped around his body like a blanket.…-

"Ouch...that looks like it really hurt, but it also looks really good on you!" Soarin could now add 'navel-gazing' to his repertoire of shameless acts committed in broad daylight. It'd go nicely with 'sending food bits flying when eating' and 'talking loudly when in high spirits'. The fly boy stallion's emerald eyes scanned over his fiery commander's underbelly as she hovered upright, showing off her new-found fashion statement. Centered on her belly was an autumn orange tattoo depicting a flickering…-

"There you are! Calor, what are you doing out here? The whole hive has been looking for you!" A cobalt changeling gasped in surprise. The rain sliding down his carapace seemed to boil off when adrenaline seized his body with a heated jolt. His cerulean ears twitched to his name, and he shrunk from the stern tone on instinct, tense against the ground like a spooked cat. Though the frigid blades of grass elicited shivers along his belly, the drone held firm, quickly finding himself mumbling over his own…-

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…

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…

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…
