It is the morning of the funeral.
Some have opted to stay in bed, safe away from today's proceedings. As you come out of the house, you see before you a reaised pedestal, about one storey high, where you can see three boxes. Offerings of seaweed, scattered with soil, line the table around the base of the pedestal as offerings, and a signal to the heavens from where these souls came from.
In the day, they are presented to the sun to be judged and glorified in the name of the heavens, while the party sees crowds of ponies, the parents missing from sight here.
Despite all that has happened, things go on. Hawrkers hawk, sailors sail, and the day goes on.

You might have heard of something like that before in class, because the concept seems clear to you.
The map gives a crude depiction of the earthly realm as being at the top of many other layers. As ponies die, their souls are returned to the worlds below theirs, worlds that were once the civilizations of ponies, now lost to all memory. They go down, till they reach the origin of all and are reduced to nothing, wherein the Sun may yet again give new life.

"Oh, hey, you kids."
An older stallion approaches. You recognize him as one of the searchers.
"Hey… you… didn't need to come here and see anything. Though it was very nice of you all."
He pauses.
"So… a boat is going to leave for the mainland in a few days. And, well, there were spots for a few people you guys can take now. So until then just, take it easy, alright?"

He shrugs.
"I dunno… you guys are kids, aren't you? It's not right to be just hanging out here sad. Go have some fun about town? Go swim? The coral looks lovely this year. Hell, I hear we've been seeing the Sea Dragon migrations lately, too."
>>344045
"Suit yourself."
>>344046
"No, really. Although… right, how about I do you kids a favour? I could follow you all wherever you like to help, or lead you someplace fun. Or explain anything! You guys aren't from here, right?"
He shrugs.

"It's just how it is. Elder Timberwolves can disguise themselves as trees for months, and continue to grow by passively hunting prey. Besides… well, you can't really eradicate wildlife."
>>344064
"We could, yeah. Let's wait for noon, first, though."
A group of ponies some distance away are sitting still, facing the east.

Looks like being the scrawny shy kid doesn't mean you don't have many hidden talents.
You race across the sand, easily beating everyone else, then right at the water's edge, jump up high and vanish for a moment in the sun's light. In mid-air, you adjust your goggles, then spread out your legs and swan-dive into the sea.
>>344126
>>344128
You two follow next. While Steras manages a nice and stylish dive, Etherlight is content with a simple jump.
>>344129
Neeeerd.
The stallion slows a bit for you to catch up, then watches you flop into the water before jumping in himself.
What awaits you under is a veritable sea of colours. Coral of just about every colour grow in odd formations, some spiraling or snaking, even. Small fish swim in and out of the colonies, some just as full of colour. To the north, lush greenery, even under the water. That must be the seaweed forest this island is known for.
As you all come up from the water, the stallion handles a few tubes in his hooves, and turns to Table Top.
"That was AWESOME! You get to use this first, then!"
He slides a tube into the snorkle of your goggles, and a shield comes out and covers your mouth and nose, expelling out all water before sealing.
"Air tubes! Didn't think I forgot, did you all? And by the way, you can call me Kelper."
He slides tubes into all your goggles as well.

"Yeah! Well, kind of!"
He points to his cutie mark, which is a fish and a blade of seaweed.
"Good to know the fish who can help you find the best Kelp, you know!"
>>344169
You pull up your goggles, and lie face up on the sea, above the rest. While the sun shines down on you, it doesn't hurt very much as long as you close your eyes.
Being in the warm water is very relaxing. feel as if this would make a good memory.
>>344172
Going further in, you see orange sea ferns and fans, and balls of yellow brainlike coral.
What's that flat, thin thing hidden amongst the rocks, though?

Your breath doesn't matter here, you have an air supply!
You easily reach it, and it appears to be a piece of paper with language unknown to you. You cannot recognise the characters, though they'd look nice on your magik games.
>>344192
A school of small fish come your way, swimming past your face like a curtain. The waving seagrasses greet you thereafter.
You can see that Table Top is holding some sort of paper.
>>344198
A Big fish slaps you with its tail fin, but you otherwise get a nice view, too.

"What's this you found?"
"..Oh? Looks like something out of a Sea Dragon? Although I can't read it myself… Maybe a sailor could?"
>>344213
>>344220
You two swim together and manage to nab one by swimming from different directions. It has some seaweed in its mouth, and is pretty big. Big enough for the silvery scales to reflect your faces.

You float by Kelper, letting more of the warming sea bathe you.
Ah.
>>344228
"Oh, never seen one? You know, they're kind of like dragons, but they have flippers and the live in the sea, and have pretty long bodies. They live in the Hole Atolls, somewhere between us and the mainland. Maybe you'll get lucky and see one of them wave you by when you go!"
>>344230
>>344239
"Oooh.. now this is a pretty nice one. Watch what he can do."
He taps the fish a few times, and it swims off to the North.

>>344255
"Oho! Yes, you're absolutely right. We thought they were just going to where the seaweed was at first, but as it turns out they really do go North. Cool, huh?"
>>344250
"They aren't all that much. They're usually friendly, they sometimes say a hello, sometimes they even trade their stuff at the other ports! You ever seen a discarded tooth turned into a cane? Best stuff, really."
His stomach growls a little.
"Man, looks like we had our fun. Who's up for lunch?"
"Well, they-"

Past the street vendors, souvenir peddlers, spell tools, library, clothing and gear, he leads you to a cozy-looking restaurant. Kelper lets you all choose your table, then seats himself down, putting down orders.
"Hey! A bowl of weed stew for all of us!"

The waiter comes by with all your bowls. It smells not like much you really know, but it has its share of pleasant aromas that you might like.
The waiter speaks.
"Bosses Breezy and Hearth requested we prepare some extra bowls in case you came, sir. Enjoy, kids!"
The waiter leaves. You may roll to see how good your food is, but you're pretty sure it's good.

It is some of the best things you've ever tasted. And the best part is, it doesn't look all that hard to prepare, looking at wha twas in the stew. Rice, some flowers, boiled with seaweed and carrots with a stick of cinnamon, at least that's what you can tell.
"Yep, they do! They started off pretty small, but they've made quite a name for themselves! Heh, I think most people on the island come in at least once a week!"
With the large groups of people in the barn-size building, it's easy to see that he isn't exaggerating. Mostly seated on stools on long tables while fans help cool the hotter customers, this place is bustling.
>>344349
>>344357
While without the analysis Steras made, both you enjoy it pretty well. It warms you up after your swim.

>>344414
"Ah."
He looks down a little.
"You'll find your way! I remember when I did my own traveling. Discovered all sorts of places. Towns I never dreamed could exist."
The sun has dipped a little more to the West.

"…"
"Little Fillies and Colts can be capable of the most amazing things. Don't ever be afraid just because of that, alright?"
He rubs your head.
"Later, I'm going to have to ask you to do a very brave thing. Please stand with Breezy and Hearthy when they let the moon send off their kids tonight, alright?"

Though you've all been tired and hungry from a swim in the sea, a good bowl of Seaweed Stew has fixed that.
Throughout the time in the restaurant, what did you talk with the others here with you about?
Either way, the sun is now orange and low in the west. Where would you like to go? There's a bookshop, there are some adventure outfitting shops, and even weapons. Or would you like to go home?

Or the canteens? Even stacks of waterproof paper, if little else, that come with a complementary bottle.
Kelper lets you all in before him.
"Now, now, I know you''re all excited, but remember that you'll be getting most of this stuff from Breeze and Hearth later, okay? But see what else you might want!"

"And I can't accept this. You need things to keep you occupied, yeah? Tell you what… why don't you send me letters when you're all out traveling? I'll take that as payment."
He shoves the coins into the mare's hands.

On the shore are three boxes, stuck with flagsand other pieces of paper with writing on them, though ti is too dark to read here. The adult ponies make their way to it.

It is morning, some days later.
Your few days spent in Seasprout Port were spent resting and playing. Though this land might still seem foreign to you, what you can hold as familiar are your companions, your fellow foals just as lost as you are, who you spent your days playing with however you could.
Mr. Breeze and Mrs. Hearth helped all of you pack in gear into your packs, then fed you all sumptuous breakfasts this morning before seeing you off. They seemed very sad for some reason.
"Write to use whenever you need anything, alright?"
How do you feel about doing that?
Either way, whatever voices you can hear from shore have long since faded into the crashing of sea and wind. On board the Water Galloper, one of a line of ships ferrying ponies and goods from the mainland and back, all of you share a room in the decks, packed with your things. But never mind that, on the deck of the ship the wind tickles your faces and salty sea air helps relax. Various adult ponies wander the ship, some working, others passengers, though you can see non-ponies here and there too, and some young ones around your age.
Looks like a new start is here.

Looks like a new start is here.
Posting updated inventory in next post
In addition to all the books you got the other day, you all get your aqua breathers, rope, sleeping pack, canteens, food packing, matches, a utility knife, a small first aid kit, a cloak, and waterproof saddlebags to hold everything. Except Etherlight, because she has a lot of her own stuff already.
In addition, you all have a map of 'Caballia' and a notebook with the 'Dragon Express' addresses of Kelper and the couple who took you all in.

He's in wherever the place Captains usually are, in the covered areas of the ship, behind you!
The sea ahead looks calm.

Some spires of rock are in the distance, seemingly forming a circle over… something.
He laughs.
"Well, yeah! Never know what some ponies could do for a quick blind date, you know."

He takes out a cigarette from his bag, and proceeds to munch on it.
"Swirl, eh? Ever heard of Sea Dragons, swirl?"

He is interrupted when a winged blob with tentacles jumps out of the sea and hits him in the face.
>>359545
HERE THEY ARE
A whole swarm of the are flying out of the water, with sailors and everyone on the ship either fleeing into the safety of the ship's structure, or defending themselves with whatever they have. A unicorn seems to be using a baseball bat to bat them away.
One's flying towards you! Dodge!
