I don't love Spike! He's weak, small, sensitive and unlike any dragon I've met! I like him as a friend, of course—he lets me... feel things and express things and a whole lot of other things. Just... can he win this fight to become my fake partner?

While exploring Canterlot Castle, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash uncover a room filled with stone tablets connected to dials. Above each dial is the name of an alicorn they know.

These old things couldn't possibly control an alicorn's power, could they?

Only one way to find out.

Steady Hoof, like most ponies, has a cutie mark. However, unlike most ponies, her cutie mark represents something... not quite on the right side of the law. Given her circumstances, she has been hired on as a personal assassin for Princess Luna.

She's not happy about it.

She thinks?

A stream of consciousness is simpler to drown in than a running river. Moondancer knows that it's dangerous to let her mind wander. There are much more dangerous things. It doesn't matter. None of it matters. But a question still lingers at the frayed edges of her mind.

Time moves forward, unyielding, oppressing. Will anypony still think of her? At least, in the way she remembers them? Will they remember her? At least, in the way she wants to be remembered?

There she will have the chance to talk with a being she'd only dreamed of getting the chance to talk to:

The Tree of Harmony.

For the Bearers, a mission can begin -- or end -- at any time. In this case, they're tired, hungry, completely out of bits, and stuck roaming the streets of an unfamiliar town until Sun-raising. So while they're waiting for their ride home, why not take advantage of that costume party? Just go in claiming to be masquerading as the Bearers, keep the circulation centered around the food trays... in Rarity's opinion, it's the best possible way to get through the night. And it's not as if they've ever had something go wrong at a high-society party before.

...except for all the times when it has.

The time to learn what everypony thinks of you is when nopony knows you're there...

After the creation of the universe, six cosmic beings-The Primordial Ones-came into existence and would each lay claim to the world, particularly a place eventually called Equestria. Death, the latest of the Primordial Ones, would eventually make his way to this world and discover his purpose. How does he fit in the grand scheme of things? Who is he? And for that matter, what is he?
