There has never been an athlete like Rainbow Dash. The sprints. The marathons. The land speed record. She held them all. Until she didn't. Until she had only one left... and met the pony that might take it from her.
Ember is not a diplomat by choice. It sort of just comes along with being dragonlord, because who else are you going to send, Garble?
Ember doesn't do diplomacy, though. She does anger. And fire. Sometimes a bit of shouting. That doesn't go over well with ponies, though.
Luckily, Thorax is on hand to help out.
In, and out. Get the ponies to agree what she wants, and leave. That's all this has to be. So why is there so much paperwork?!
And why does she feel so angry?!
Princess Celestia loves Autumn.
For the hues of its leaves, the gentle breezes, and the heralding of the end of summer. As the seasons change, so too does the world. Where once there was certainty for Equestria, now the road ahead is obscure.
Celestia, for one, welcomes it.
In the library of Twilight Sparkle's castle, there is a book where none should be. There is no record of it being entered into the collection. It is not in the card catalog. It has never been checked out. Before yesterday nopony knew it existed. It is the only book she has ever tried to destroy.
All Twilight Sparkle wanted was a nice teatime with Starswirl, her idol. And then Trixie Lulamoon had to show up, cast a spell, and rip yet another hole in space-time. This is becoming distressingly common...

I never expected I'd be able to convince my entire family to emigrate to Equestria. By the time it was inevitable, it was too late. He was gone.
Do I really believe that a godlike AI can bring my father back?
Do I really want it to?
It seems like a silly question. In a perfect world created by a literal god, why wouldn't you want to meet the loved ones you'd lost?
