Chapter Eight: Of Souls and Secrets (edit 9/16/2015)
As I moved through the motions of one of my simpler kung fu forms, I couldn't stop myself from drifting in thought. I often let my mind wander while I had a spare mental moment, doing what I could to take in everything that had happened since arriving...
Not A Dog: Just Another Week
**_Sunday_** Waking up just a little after dawn like I preferred, I rubbed the bridge of my gray muzzle, then got up and gave myself a quick brush before getting dressed for my morning run. The laborious jobs I had today would suffice for working my...
Chapter Fourteen: Test Results (edit 10/31/2014)
The squeal of brakes and hiss of steam rang through the air as our train came to a stop at the station in Canterlot. After dealing with the lingering anxiety of what the royal summit was really for amongst ourselves, we were finally here. The public...
Not A Dog: Randomness Of Fate
Twilight was waiting on the steps with her friends, all of them looking worried as Luna's sky chariot landed and the Princess of the Night wasted no time heading towards them with a dark look. The chariot took to the sky again after a moment. As she...
Chapter Eighteen: Forward Motion
Fate was toying with me and Twilight. It had to be that. This stuff couldn't possibly happen to us with so much frequency to be normal. At least I hoped our normal wasn't normal. A well and truly flabbergasted Celestia stammered, "B-but...said m-my...
Chapter Twenty-Five: The Secrets We Hold

Chapter Twenty-Four: Worries & Beginnings

Through Pictures
_This has to be some sort of hallucination, right?_ _...right?_ These were the words going through his head as he stared at what he could only describe as a very oddly shaped, very pink pony-like creature that was staring right back at him with what...
Chapter Twenty-Six: The Weight Of Implications
_(Perspective change to 3rd)_ Celestia stared out the window for a long time after Twilight and Vojin left, worry on her mind and a deep frown upon her face. She thought of how much was coming together now, how there were so many things aligning...
Chapter Twenty-Two: Oddball Evenings
On the second evening of the Royal Summit, Twilight and I were walking down one of the lavish hallways not long after having dinner with Shining and Cadence, on our way to join our friends for some hangout time and idle relaxing. It's almost funny how...
Chapter Twenty-One: With Eyes Opening
As the crowd was drifting away, Shining Armor stepped over next to me and sat himself down, being slow and careful as he moved. Both of us were going to feel like crap until we had a meal and a good night's rest. Magical healing fixed harmful things,...
