      ~ Interlude V ~ A Quiet Moment ~

      ~ Interlude V ~ A Quiet Moment ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic She hadn’t been able to sleep since they came back from the library. She simply lay on the edge of her bed, unable to tear her eyes away from the sleeping alicorn beside her, the ink all over her coat staining the sheets and Sweetie Belle huddled next to her. For hours, she was convinced it was a dream. It had to be. Any moment now, she thought, she’d hear Incantation yelling her name, she’d wake up back at Hollow Shades, and Twilight would still be sealed inside the library. But the hours…

      ~ Interlude IV ~ An Old Friend ~

      ~ Interlude IV ~ An Old Friend ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic He woke up at the crack of dawn, as he did almost every day. An old habit he’d kept from the Undiscovered West, from the times when waking up late was a literal matter of life and death. Times were different now, of course. Sleeping in wouldn’t result in a band of mercenaries kidnapping him like that time in Siribilo, but it would result in a mare being quite, quite upset. Speaking of which… He cracked an eye open and saw her sitting on the other side of the fire, awake and alert…

      ~ Interlude III ~ Behind Closed Dreams ~

      ~ Interlude III ~ Behind Closed Dreams ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic In the depths of the Everfree Forest, past abandoned houses, past Timberwolves and frightening beasts, was a trapdoor at the base of a grand old oak tree. Blue magic delicately surrounded the handle and pulled. Dirt and dust rose into the air when Rarity opened the trapdoor. She stepped back, trying to protect her coat from the mess. When the dust settled, she had no choice but to remain there for a moment, taking in the implication of dirt and dust and time collected on the door. She lifted her hoof…

      ~ Interlude II ~ Those Left Behind ~

      ~ Interlude II ~ Those Left Behind ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic He would never learn the pain of being forgotten. He had never sought out to be recognized in the eyes of anypony but those he cared about. Regardless of the passing of the years, he would never once care whether other ponies remembered him or not. But he cared—painfully, agonizingly so—that ponies were forgetting her. Ponies of all ages and walks of life trotted along the streets of Equestria's capital city, each lost in their own little worlds, their own little all-encompassing…

      ~ Interlude I ~ A Near-Death Experience ~

      ~ Interlude I ~ A Near-Death Experience ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Face to face, he saw her only once. In his dreams, however, he’d seen her nearly every other night; in dreams where his hindlegs still worked, still moved, where he was not crippled for life. He was a painter by trade. Or had been, at least. He was more accurately a fool; a fool who’d embarked on an ill-fated journey to trap the world in paintings and now found himself trapped in the unforgiving claws of the forest. He’d lost his supplies, lost his way, and he feared his very own life would…

      ~ Epilogue ~ A Beautiful Night ~

      ~ Epilogue ~ A Beautiful Night ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic Princess Cadance had long ago made peace with the fact that she’d never have foals of her own. Long, long ago, this might have bothered her. It might have hurt her deeply, just as losing Shining Armor had. But long ago was long ago, and things had very much changed since then. Princess Cadance knew she’d never give birth to a filly or colt of her own flesh and blood, but that didn’t mean she didn’t have children. She had many children. Or, well, in this case, adopted…

      ~ Act II~ 23 ~ The Heartbound Home ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic The party that came after Princess Luna’s liberation was one unlike Hollow Shades had ever seen. No matter where you were, inside or out, you could hear it. The laughter, the dancing, the celebration of a cursed town that was cursed no more. It invited you to join, drew you in with the infectious cheers, and you would be remiss to not attend. Unless you were Princess Twilight Sparkle, and you were too busy debating whether you should take apart an Element of Harmony or not. Destroying…

      ~ Act II ~ 22 ~ The Filly Who Believed ~ Cover
      by Monochromatic No one said anything after that, and especially less so Princess Twilight Sparkle. But then you came back. The statement rang in her head like a haze, every word making sense individually but not as a whole. ‘You were dead and you came back’ would make sense. ‘You were dead, then you came back’ would make sense. But she had said neither of those things. Huh. “Oh. Okay.” “Okay?” Rarity asked, looking up at the alicorn. “Okay?” “Yes,” Twilight replied,…
