"What happened with Nightmare Moon and Sombra?"

"Nightmare Moon—uh, Princess Luna—is Celestia's sister, a long time ago she got jealous of her sister and tried to take over Equestria, so Celestia banished her to the moon for a thousand years. Last summer she came back and tried to bring eternal night to Equestria, but my friends and I learned to use the Elements of Harmony to, uh—turn her back into Princess Luna? Come to think of it I'm not exactly what sure what happened there, but Luna is still around and isn't evil anymore."

"The Elements of Harmony?"

"Um, I'm actually not sure how to explain that—Twilight?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you explain the Elements of Harmony to this gentleman?"

"I can, but...hmm. Actually, that's a state secret. Sorry," she says to the interviewer.

"No need to apologize. And Sombra?"

"Sombra was a—I think 'necromancer' is the word your language has for it, who ruled the Crystal Empire a long time ago. He tried to come back recently. Unsuccessfully."

"... Rarity, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Excuse me a moment, please," she says to her interviewer.

"Of course."

Can she, now that she's an alicorn, cast an antimagic field powerful enough to nullify the Milliways translation effect itself and let her speak to Rarity in secrecy? Maybe, but she's not here to show off. Much simpler just to pull Rarity outside.

"There are evil gods here who have human servants. I doubt that man is specifically one of the human servants but they can certainly read a newspaper. I don't think we're going to be able to hide our existence, but I would like the evil gods not to find out about our unexplained ability to repeatedly handle problems way too big for us in the span of half an hour until after it's too late for them to do anything about it. Likewise the fact that diamonds, which are apparently absurdly valuable for magic here, are comparatively not scarce in Equestria. And—probably half a dozen similar things that we don't know about yet."

She lets out a dramatic sigh. "Alright, fine."

She goes back inside to the Inquirer. "Twilight says I shouldn't tell adventure stories because we don't want to reveal our capabilities. Want to hear about Equestrian fashion?" She can probably come up with a treatment of it that avoids mentioning the absurd quantities of gemstones.

Elorri gets home from his errands, greets Katixa, and is very surprised that she's pulling him toward the portal and has to make her stop and confirm with Select Artigas that as far as he knows his horse hasn't been enchanted and there's just a portal there now and in the associated demiplane Katixa can talk. Elorri lets Katixa pull him in when she resumes trying to do this.

"Hello!" says a tiny purple unicorn. "Are you Katixa's paladin?"

(Twilight has spent the last while discussing their situation with her friends, which discussion ended with the fairly unanimous conclusion that, while they should prioritize getting home and definitely not try to fight any evil gods unless Princess Celestia says it's a good idea, they should push back if Celestia tries to totally cut off contact with Golarion. It seems like they can really do a lot of good here, and the risks seem to be at least possible to mitigate.)

"- yes, I'm Katixa's paladin."

"I can talk! Elorri, listen, I can talk here! I can make noises and try to mean stuff when I make the noises and then words come out! You can understand me, right?"

"Yes, I can understand you." He pets her nose. "That's very cool that you can talk, is there anything you wanted to say specifically?"

"...not really! You're pretty good at holding up all of a conversation! I just think it's neat."

"I'm Twilight Sparkle—uh, I'll leave you alone if you want to get caught up. It would be awful if I couldn't talk to my friends."

Katixa may not have anything specific to say but she is excited about trying out being a chatterbox to her bemusedly affectionate paladin. They go find a corner and chat. At one point Katixa raises her voice a bit to announce that she definitely knows without having to be told that just because she can talk now is no reason to tell Elorri anything that somebody told her because she couldn't talk at the time, That Would Be Wrong, and Elorri tells her he is so proud of her.

After a while it becomes clear that actually Katixa is delighted to have the important job of standing in Milliways holding the door while Elorri doesn't need her to ride across the countryside or charge into battle with him, so the Inquirer can be dismissed.

He hands his transcript to Select Artigas on the way out of the church complex. "But do let me know if it's ever feasible? Or talk to the Archduchess, I'm working for her now."

"We'll see how it pans out."

If she'd known that the Inquirer was reporting to Blai she wouldn't have cut Rarity's interview short! Blai is not a servant of an evil god and he should know about their capabilities! Well, it's probably still better to tell him, or one of the paladins, directly.

Milliways doesn't exactly have a day/night cycle, but the sun eventually sets outside, and it's probably well after sunset relative to the time they got up that morning. Eventually they figure out how to rent a room and head up to it.

They share a room; in Ponyville they all have separate houses, but ponies are still herd animals at heart, and in a new and rather frightening place there's something deeply comforting about all sleeping in a big pile.
