Its early in the morning and the ship sits in the harbor, she's a beauty to behold, big enough to carry supplies for 3 months and a decently varied crew. Chiro and Chiranna are standing by the ship waving at you. Queen Chiranna, her new status signified with a golden crown, has joy in her purple eyes is obviously pregnant, and is attempting to cover her baby belly with a loose fitting robe. King Chrio with his gray mane and yellow eyes, is wearing a simple royal robe and a golden crown, he looks very proud.

The pair wave at you "Stay safe out there", "May Luna's light follow you.".
The navigator and captain come up to you: The captain is a Bat pony, a strong looking leader type young and a little familiar, his flank is blank. The navigator is a pegasus pony with a mark on the shoulder that looks like an arrow pointing at itself, his cutie mark is three arrows. "Hail Oddette, have you cleared up all your business on shore? It might be a long time before we return."

"Follow me."
I lead you down to my cabin. Once we are in I shut the door and make sure it's locked.
"We've been together for six or seven months now and almost nothing has happened between us. We've hardly been intimate, you've never met any of my family or friends, and you've never seen me without any clothing on. I need to know if you still feel the same way about me after all this time."

"Anchor's away!" the captain shouts and you feel your ship moving gently away from the harbor. You can talk to any of the crew or each other. Anya has joined you as a magical adviser. She's the one who helped you out in pegavillage, very pretty blue maned, and purple eyed mare she is staring out at the sea.

I start laughing when you say I might be old fashioned, but quickly stop.
"Okay. We're leaving this place for the new world, so I think I should leave my old problems behind with this old land."
I draw the curtain over my window and snuff out any sources of light to make the room as dark as possible before removing my leotard and fake package. I set them on the bed then carefully light a few candles.
"Still think I'm really great stuff, Cloudcaller?"
>>419524
They're both gay, easily frustrated ponies. It's an easy mistake.

"Do you have any idea what the male to female ratio is in ballet? It was almost impossible for me to get a job until I put on a leotard and shoved a banana and a could of apples into the right place."
I jolt when I feel the boat start to move.
"Follow me."
>>419527
I go up to the deck and start waving goodbye to everyone. I don't stop until we are out of sight.

"Because I didn't know if you could keep it a secret. Because I didn't know if you'd leave me. Ballet was my life before I got roped into saving the batponies and I didn't want to risk it getting ruined."
I bite my lip as I wave and keep my eyes firmly on the shore.
"You never answered my question."

I hug you my.
"My lack of a penis?"
I laugh a bit and hug you harder before letting go.
"Just because I'm not pretending to be a stallion anymore doesn't mean I will start acting sappy. I'm glad you still love me. Let's go see who else is on this boat."

"We have cannon's on both sides, and many on board are able to fight, Chiro was concerned about you and sent a few from his own army as guards, I think he also greatly over stocked us." He seems to laugh a bit "I am glad you've so confident hero cloud caller. We may need your bow."

"Fellow blessed of the Night Warder. I, too have a blessing. "
Show him my eyes.
"The night and darkness are meant to be blankets for ponies to rest peacefully under, but for me, it is where I must work so this peace is ensured. My eyes see just as well in the dark. They are Princess Luna's warrant."

He gives you a firm hoof shake "I'm happy to be protecting you heroes again. Thanks to Chiro and Chiranna taking charge as King and Queen we were able to be much more organized and have comprehensive flights instead of specialized ones." He continues "I hope that Luna is actually as good as the stories, I can't wait to meet her."

Cabot stares at your eyes, "Fascinating, the bat ponies tell me their eyes are blessed similarly, It must be a blessing to your very nature as a hunter, we should exchange notes when we have down time. Hunter to hunter, thou I did mine mainly for pay."
>>419592

The Captain replies with a heart felt voice "I keep imagining it, you know. Kneeling before the real goddess.." he stares slightly at the pony of two cutiemarks with a bit of jealousy "and then find out how I'm truly meant to serve her."

"About three weeks according to-" Cabot cuts off the captain.
"Three weeks, that's what my gut is telling me, and my gut" he grins "is hardly ever wrong. Dusky here has lost a few card games to me because of that, isn't that right?" Cabot jabs the captain in the side.
The annoyed look on the captain lightens up a little. "You do play a mean hand Cabot."

"This is great. Maybe I shouldn't ask here, but can you invite me to your practices so I can draw you? I want to improve my skills and you'd be great."
>>419600
"I'll probably be formal when we're on the clock. Speaking of which, let me know when you have a moment to go over what we've come up with so far."

You see Tripple Shot Cabot at the helm peering into the fog. Captain Dusk is yelling orders to the on duty flier to clear out the fog. There are five of them trying their hardest but they can't make a dent in it. Dusk seems tense as he orders them back down..
"Come on down boys, we'll just have to wait it out."
Dusk trots over to you "Morning heroes, I'd say good morning but that would be lying."

"Morning."
I look at the pegasi and bat ponies trying and failing to clear the fog.
"Can they not control the weather this far out or is the fog magical? A dance I was in once had to have a few unicorns make some fog that wouldn't get blown away because of how many pegasi were in the troupe."

"I think it must be an enchantment, rolled in this thick and it won't leave." he frowns.

You peer down and you can see the water acting strangely, as if its being controlled by something. and you see a scaly tail pop out of the water.
everyone On the Horizon a fast moving cloud is coming toward your boat. It is leaving a bright yellow trail behind it the makes it clear to see even in this fog. It stopped and hoovers on deck the pegasus powering the little cloud has a mane as yellow as lightening and she smirks at you "Thanks for waiting, I have some late arrivals for you, Wow, its foggy all the sudden."
On the cloud you see a brown pegasus stallion and a blue pegasus mare. The Pegasus mare is clinging for dear life to stallion and who is clutching her back almost as hard.
"Hey love birds, we're here. You can stop pretending to be scared now." the yellow maned pegasus taunts them.

"He's pretty good too, I guess."
I return your wink, but then get serious.
"The navigator warned us we might run into trouble today. You two should hurry off that cloud and either get armed or get below. This fog isn't acting right, and we have no idea what sort of dangers the real world has."

>>421345
The lightening maned pegasus yawns."Well, I couldn't slow down to clear those tiny rain clouds. Anyway.. Light Chaser doesn't get hit by light, so a storm isn't something to worry about." she lays down on the cloud "you're lucky you had me around." she drifts off to sleep. And the captain motions to a pair of bat ponies who push her cloud below deck.
"Welcome aboard heroes, as you can see we're stopped for the fog, and there isn't any clearing it."

"Right, yeah. I knew that."
I cough awkwardly.
"How's your wolf doing? Is it just me or has that bone merged with your horn pretty well?"
>>421358
I nod.
"A whole new world is exactly why I decided to leave."
>>421348
I walk over to you and whisper in your ear.
"Don't mention what I told you yesterday to them. I want it to be a surprise."

the ship rocks back and forth as if something big has knocked into it. water splashes on deck. Anya appears on deck as well wearing a blue raincoat, her horn glowing with magic and flipping throu a spell book. she tries a spell of some kind '1d10'
The sound of something landing on deck, like a fish, is clear and five growling creatures are visible they have the head and front claws of a lion, and the tail of a seal.
Roll #1 4 = 4

Your arrow flies true and hits one, its bleeding from the wound but still standing.
>>421365
>>421367
you work together with a sort of spinning throw and each kick a sea-lion with extreme force, causing them to fall helpless.

The sea lion bats away your pet like a cat with a mouse, but before any harm can come to Ferir you catch the sealion's gaze and it becomes transfixed by your spell.

>>421376
You finish off the dying sea lion creature, as mercifully as possibly, closing its eyes once the life fades from them.
>>421377
You fight as gracefully as you dance and kill a sea loin with the beauty that your weapon was meant to carry, with each slice more of the beast's scales fall to the ground and it looks horrified as your saber pierces its heart.

the creature breaks free and slashes you, but Fenrir protects you from getting anything more than a scratch tackling the beast and dealing some blows to its back.

Together you knock the sea lions out of the boat, but instead of a splash they land with a near silent plop. Out of the sea rises a long winding blue serpent. It hisses at you. In between its winding coiling is a pale blue.. shark pony?! The shark pony has a trident and grins with sharp teeth, if you had to guess you would say its male.

"Oh, that does look nasty. " he darts off and brings back a female donkey. "Take a look at this nurse."
"Hm, its not a big wound at all really."
The Donkey presses a hoof against your wound and holds a pendant of the sun close to her. a yellow light comes from the pendant and your wound heals.

The nurse seems offended but is busy looking over the shark pony "I'll need to call in the other three to take care of this one. Shark Ponies In my care, I've healed a gold fish before but this may be more complex.."
>>421468
"My name is Darla, I'm one of the four chosen for this ship's medical team. I had hoped that you wouldn't be needing us so soon.."

"Equestria?! Do they even have aquatic prisons there?" he darts his eyes around looking for a weak point in the tank finding it solid. "Look.. I had to steal from ships, its not easy to find food ever since the sea ponies built that castle. They protect all the meaty fish, and fight much better than ever.. a shark's gotta eat ya' know.."
>>425429
"They've never been brave enough to take me once I show em' big blue, no.." he looks around your ship "You.. didn't kill her did ya?"

I frown and glare at him.
"So you just like attacking things that are weaker than you? Well too bad! Unless you make amends, we're never letting you out of there! In fact… you better get used to a diet of seaweed and shrimp, 'cause that's all you should eat! Not stealing other ponies' food…"
Bluff.

"Those who live by violence will die by it. Might, if used for one's own gain at the expense of innocents, will surely find itself drowned in righteous uprising.

There are a few on deck, they acknowledge your gesture with a quick salute.
>>425442
"Bah, you wouldn't understand, pony trade ships always shout about how peaceful they are while handing over their food."
>>425446
"that sounds like the sea pony priest that we fought with.. does some god gift you with power as well?"

"Friendship.. that's like brotherhood? We have that, no shark pony will attack another."
>>425449
he cowers away from your gaze. "S-sorry.. I just don't know where to even start.. those sea ponies were the ones who took our hunting space for their 'culture' and 'sea palace', shouldn't they make amends to us? Like a tribute? "

"No, I don't want to be in this tiny box." he nudges the edge a bit.
>>425453
"Worship yes: We have some that worship the bright light of the sun, the great blue whale, or the force of nature." He looks conflicted "I will consider it.. I do want us to be free, to have food enough for our brothers. If you're sure change can make that happen.. "
>>425456

"4 moon cycles ago, they were visited by a crystal sea pony, something we thought impossible. It turned the waters to their favor and they chased us off to build their new city. "

"You would go down there? To help me?" he thinks "Well, there is a spell I know, but I've never used it, its supposed to let land ponies be under the sea for three nights."
"And the crystal sea pony is much like us, doesn't need to surface."
>>425464
"We just don't work that way, we'd rather just take it back by force, but they are too strong." he looks sad "Maybe that's what you and the priest were trying to tell us, that this happened because we didn't talk to them. But changing like that.. its just.. unheard of for us."

"No fighting? not even a little fin-fight?" he grumbles "Fine.."
>>425471
Dusk nods "If this is something you heroes thing you should be involved in, then I'll support you in it. We can stop for a few days, we have the supplies."
>>425472
"Great! I'll just be needing my trident.." he has a very toothy grin.
>>425473
"We held that land for generations. The sea ponies would come try to take it and we would beat them again and again. Proving our right to hunt there. Other predators would try to move in once a while too, and we beat them up as well. My great father said he beat up a killer whale that wanted our spot. "

Smile.
"But then, I didn't sign up because it was going to be easy. It's time to make history."

"I need my trident back."
Anya "Why don't you tell me the spell and I'll use it?"
Shark pone sighs "I guess I don't have a choice?"
Anya shakes her head firmly "You could just run away if I let you have it."
Shark pony "Fine. Just hold the trident up over the target and.." he walk her throu the spell and she takes precise notes, then casting it on odette.
Odette you feel your body changing, and are surrounded by a white light. When the light fades you find your wings are large fins, and your rear hooves have changed into one long fin. you feel as if you're choking on the air and the relief as you are surrounded by cool sea water. you are now next to the boat.
Everyone else sees Odette transformed once the white light fades, she looks wonderful, sea worthy and.. choking but then a bat pony plops bat into the water next to the boat.

And she transforms cloud caller, pushing him into the water.
>>425504
"You feel alright?"
>>425506
She nods. "make sure you don't get caught too deep under water when the spell wears off."
>>425508
"Do you not like the idea?"
>>425511
"You can be next dear."
we'll stop here, next time Sea pony adventures. everyone can have fins if you want to roleplay practicing a bit.

"We write stories of great battles, pass down spells, and fighting strategies. Spells usually are written in a more complex way, to be more precise. There is one great tale of how we came to our home land, usually told to pups on those sleepless nights, and also its told in three parts."

Lets launch this:
The party has been transformed into more sea worthy versions of themselves. Pegasus getting a set of long fins where their wings were, Diamond Dogs getting an extend maw and almost shark like body. Everyone's back legs are now one tail fin, and your front limbs remain unchanged.

You flip like a natural dolphin, managing to do a double flip and dive gracefully back into the water. You feel like you could touch the clouds.
>>430921
You reach high into the air, and do one flip. you feel you like you can reach the moon.
The shark smiles "Lets go find that shiny sea pony castle." and does his own flip just to show you how its done'1d10'

You swim for a while, the water is dark but your eyes adjust to it fairly easily. There are a few jelly fish floating around you. they squish and slide past you without doing any harm.
"don't play with those. they sting back."
eventually you come to a hill, the shark pony puts a fin up and ducks around the hill. A pair of sea pony guards are chatting on the other side, they each have a spear and some armor.

>>430934
you can hear too much, the sound of fish swimming, crabs scurrying, sound waves bouncing off the hill. you can't make anything they are saying out.
>>430936
you're able to pick up every word.
[h]"Yea, I'm so glad we got this route, no shark would be crazy enough to get this close to the palace. Not after their last attempt."
"I know, and having the crystal sea pony on our side. We don't have to work nearly as hard."

>>430939
"We gathered most of the clan in an attempt to force them away, but were repelled y their stronger magic, thanks to that Crystal Sea pony's new magic."

>>430944

>>430947
"Alright.. don't let those sea ponies get to you." he says "I'll wait until I can't see you."
The guards are swimming past you now.

His directions were solid, you can see the palace almost right away, its got a colorful coral base, a gate made of crystal, and windows that look like they are made of crystal. The towers are a spiraling mixture of coral and crystal. There are schools of fish swimming freely about the area. as well as a few sea ponies milling about.
>>430953
They seem to be going in the opposite direction, almost like a practiced path.
>>430969
They look impressed and swim around you. They are three female sea ponies, with similar builds but different colors. They giggle " so pretty." "I've never seen her before." "Must be important to have all those escorts." " they even have a shark!"
One of them floats in front of you "welcome to the new home land. I'm claire and these are my sisters"
>>430970
"The shark talks" "be quiet he's not a shark, look again." "Whatever he is he's handsome.."

"We apologize in any case, who are you then?"

they frown and whisper to each other Claire says "You should just come inside, we'll have the guards show you what she's done for us!" the other two giggle a bit. "its really nice, so easy to do whatever we need."

there is a shadow following you it looks like a manta ray but its hard to tell. when you turn to get a closer look its gone.
>>430986
>>430989
Cinder: "Oh you poor deprived seaponies! You don't know about mane magic! Its like totally the best thing ever, you can make your mane any color, any style you want! Just today I changed mine again, minty green to match my my emerald eyes."
Cynthia "You've never even seen an emerald."
Cinder "No.. but I know what color it is!"
Claire: "Its just one of the things that makes our lives easier here, and sure you could make your mane into a catalyst if you wanted."
>>430990
>>430988
>>430987
The sisters swim eagerly along "Its so exciting to have new pilgrims." "Totally, I bet you can't wait to settle in!"
The inside of the castle looks all brand new, the 'streets' are unfinished, part sand part colorful stones. schools of bright fish swim freely around you. there are several buildings in here, shaped vaguely like hermit shells. they lead you to a grand looking building. and tug their unwitting guard over to it "Go on, let us in! We want to see if he's here!" "Come on, for the new guys?"
The guard grumbles and opens the door for you, leading you to a big room with spiral pillars and a large seat. "Ooh, he's totally not here.. I wanted you to meet our king." "he's young" "and handsome!" "Dreamy.."
The guard they dragged along sighs and pulls a bell "The lovely ladies three request an audience with his lordship Daniel "
There is a yawn and a scurrying of something on sand. Four lobster-creatures come out and size you up, they stand by the throne. A seapony wearing a crown and carrying a crystal trident glides into the room. "What is it this ti-.. Who are your friends?"

>>431002
"She says she came from a vast sea, with only one island on it, and her people were very few but very smart. That before she found us she heard about some heroes who stopped an eternal darkness. She said it was very far away"

In fact we've just repelled them again recently, with this fortress it was no problem." he seems pretty passionate about his victory.
>>431009
he frowns "No, this land is ours, its our promised land: We've been searching, hiding, and eating scarps of kelp that can barely grow for generations. Moving around to find a home, and we kept running into these shark beasts, they would defeat us brutally.. but we finally changed that. This is our home now, those sharkponies can have some other place."
>>431012
"Well, we only stick to one food when we have to, we like a wide variety of foods, small fish included, all of which we can harvest here." he thinks "I could invite you to my table for diner. You've traveled a long way you said?"
Cinder speaks up "Ooh, totally great idea David, I want to come too!"
Cynthia "Yea, me too."
Claire "Sisters please, calm down."
David: "I guess you can come to diner with me again.." he sighs "You girls are a finful"
all three giggle "Thanks King David"

zulu is afk for a moment
"They're savages, you're just lucky you didn't see them. They've killed our soldiers in battle and wounded many of us for 'hunting on their turf'. I just don't know how we could work anything out with those beasts."
>>431014
"We are able to rebel them, as long as we have our fortress. Our Crystal Palace." he guides you to the window. "see those towers, we can cast powerful spells from there, a single lightening attack can effect a big group. "

"Well.. no.. " he frowns. "I.. we have been at war with them for so long, It wasn't thinkable.."
>>431021
"I can summon her for you, but I'd rather not disturb her yet." he picks up a crystal paint brush and writes something on a tablet of stone. "I'll have a message sent to her room that she should meet you as soon as possible." he passes it off to a guard. who swims off with it. "she's always looking for ways to improve our lives."
>>431020
He looks concerned "Really? I mean.. we did set up a few crystal towers in the colonies, but that shouldn't have pushed them all the way to surface.."
>>431022
"Do you think they'd agree to that?" he paces back and forth "Maybe they think we're the savage ones?" he shakes his head "We do make better use of the food, they just eat it whole without a second thought.. maybe if we showed them how much nicer our preparation is.."
>>431023
"Oh, we didn't expect it either. Something she learned in her home, amazing really. She's so humble as well, saying she was the worst in city . "

"Most likely. Being at the bottom of the sea if you were riding a more near surface current you wouldn't see them"
>>431026
"Well, they must be hungry then.."
>>431025
>>431028
"…I'll send out a few guards and see if they'll come, You've given me a lot to think about." he sigh and waves a fin at you, also pushing a ripple of water towards the the sea pony mares. "I'll see you at diner." he seems to be hiding a playful smirk as the three of them tumble into eachother. "See you later My King." "Danny!" "Ah, my mane"

"well, that's their weakness, give them a bit of a shock if they give your trouble."
"Colors? Huh.." he shuffles throu his bags, and pulls out a painbrush made of crystal, with a clear jelly like tip "Here, its something Diamond made for me, but I can't figure out how to use it. Has something to do with the colors of magic." he pushes it over to you. "Maybe you'll find it useful against the sharks."

We have places to explore, sharkponies to invite to a party, and a mysterious Crystal Seapony called Diamond Dust. You've been left with Cinder the seemingly air headed and very fasionable sea pony, as her sisters went to prepare for the diner. Cinder is a white color with an orange mane and red eyes, she is wearing a firy red shell necklace, and a pair of tinted crystal goggles on her side.
"So, like.. where do you want to go to first?"
"So, like.. where do you want to go to first?"

Sure thing, but we aren't running tonight vs is busy. Your sharkpony captive lead you to the sea pony castle. You met three very pretty sea ponies, Cynthia, Cinder, Claire: in order from youngest to oldest. They took you to meet the king Daniel Coral. You haven't met the king, but you know the sea pony castle is a giant catalyst, and was at least designed by the crystal sea pony, Diamond Dust.. Also a shadow has been following you if you looked.

You swim toward the boat, and there is a strong current that slows you down. An egg is floating tied by a string to a small sea serpent.
>>434317
>>434320
>>434309
>>434326
"Yeah, Diamond's workshop is totally cool. You'll love it." Cinder guides you past the market, several seaponies waving at her as she goes by. you come to a crystal structure shaped like a big sea shell that has a locked door. Cinder undoes her necklace and sings at it "Little shell of sea, make a way for me", it opens up revealing a key which she unlocks the door with. The workshop is full of dangling shells, crystals, and a skull or two. There are tables with all manner of tools and projects, and there are book shelves stocked full.
"Like Diamonds, come out and say hi." Cinder calls out.

The egg looks about the right size for a baby sea serpent. but you've never really seen one either so its hard to be sure. The sea serpent is your size, the egg is half that big.
It hisses at you coiling around the egg "No, this is mine. The undying draco's minion's won't have it."
>>434339
Its difficult to pick out any one thing among all this stuff, and whats its and whose-its. There are a lot of half finished projects laying around, something that looks like a butterfly, a glowing orb hooked up to manta ray.
>>434347
They are skulls from different creatures.
>>434348
they are skulls from surface creatures like deer, wolves, and goats. There are few fish heads here too.
In the back there is a pile of papers that seems to be moving and mumbling something. out of the pile a sparkling blue sea pony head pops up, is green mane ruffled with a few crystals and papers stuck in it "Cinder, what do you want?"
"For you too meet the new ponies in town. Their totally cool and wanted to see you." she pulls her out of the paper and drags her over to you.
"Remind me why I had to give you a key.."

I swim in front of him.
"I think I can help you. Come with me and I can take you to people who can keep you and the egg safe."
>>434356
I roll my eyes.
"He's tryng to escape with it, Cloud."
I twirl around in the water.
"Hey, you want to go check out the island? Maybe you can find one of draco's minions and beat some information out of him while I talk with the sharkponies. After dinner gets going I can come and join you."

"Hello there, welcome to the crystal city. This is my workshop."
>>434360
she nods "Yeah, I helped make this whole city possible everyone is pretty grateful." she yawn a bit "anything in particular you wanted to ask?"
Cinder quietly starts brushing out Diamonds' mane.
>>434361
"Alright lady, but if you try anything funny I'll boil your scales off!" he sticks his tongue out at you. and follows.

turns out its not that hard to find the island, it looks like a mountain from under here. There are a few sea serpents about twice your size swimming in and out of caves, a skeletal eel, and a few strange looking manta rays.
>>434370
"No!" the baby serpent says impishly. "only the sea borne ones like you."
You make your way back to the boat. your shark pony friend is waiting at the surface, chatting it up with that captain and triple shot cabot, Anya and a bat pony are curiously watching.
"Welcome back hero. What can I help you with?" Captain Fading Dusk asks.
"Did the others get captured?" Anya asks
"Well hello there little guy." the shark says.
"Hey, I know you! You're the one who give big blue food for us!" the sea serpent says.

"Can you keep my new friend and his egg safe, Captain? Anya, Cloudcaller is investigating an island near here ruled by some sort of immortal dragon. The others are getting ready for a dinner party with the seaponies. Sharko, you and a few other shark ponies are invited to the party too. Choose the ones that can make decisions and know how to compromise, alright?"

"I'll have to show you some other time. Maybe after I have a cup of juice and some crab patties."
>>434386
"You're a delivery boy?" he huffs "I don't believe that. turn back now." he slashes at you, roll to dodge.
>>434388
"Yea, even the smallest spells have a big effect if you cast them from the right spots.That's how we drove off the sharkponies."
>>434389
"Its far far away, an island, you've probably never heard of it. Unless you've heard about the heroes who destroyed the nightmare."
familiar? You just met her. but you look close just as a light comes in from the window to hit her crystal skin and the reflection blinds you for a second.

The captain nods "We can put him in the tank"
"A what?!"
"Calm down kid, it won't hurt you."
"A-alright.."
the egg and little sea serpent are placed inside the tank.
The shark pony nods to you. "I'll have to translate for most of them. Sharks n' ponies speak differently. but if there is a food I'm sure I can get them to come."
Cabot and the captain look worried "Should we send someone after cloudcaller? That sounds like a big job."

"Almost a year ago now, the mainland was threatened by eternal night, but a team of heroes rose up to stop it. The day they defeated the nightmare the sea suddenly expanded and I left my colony.
>>434400
"The mainland was called Seven Shadow's Hallow. It was a special place. "
>>434394
"Alright, do you need anything else? I can send one of the crew with you, we're here to help you heroes with whatever you need." the captain says.

>>434409
"and you too?"
>>434410
she blinks "maybe I'm still dreaming.."

that's the name of your home island, the meaning comes from the 7 areas: those representing the 6 scared elements and the nexus in the middle.
>>434407
you reach for you bow a little too slowly and get blasted by hot water, it feels like its trying to cook you alive and you lean on a rock to recover.

"Really? How fascinating..I'd always thought it would be nice to meet the magic behind the team. I'd be happy to help you out while you're here.. and is that really a bone from your own minion? "

He nods at anya who bring back a pretty bat pony with a luna themed hammer and a silver tiara with a blue crescent moon on the front. "I'm happy to serve you in this Odette. I specialize in group healing, but I can only hope you won't need it."

you can still catch up to the shark pony if you desire.

the shark pony is stopped at a cave nearby he's making some almost snarling sounds. he turns to you "Hey, there you are. I was just telling this idiot not to attack you." he point at a shark pony wearing some kind of red armor. "Blood Fin is inside here, he's our first stop."
>>434445
"But, its the only way to deal with those things. They haven't come back since then so it must have worked.."
>>434448
"What?! Coming back here.. well.. I guess they are pretty strong.. and if they want to be allies.. I don't know that I'd trust them."
>>434449
"I bet you're a fast learner too." she smiles.
>>434447
You escape. what direction to you want to go now?

hello
>>434453
He nods and grunts "Blood Fin listening."
Ebony chimes in "I was once part of an army trying to destroy this pony's way of life. But she and her team extended the concept of peaceful coexistence to my people, and ended a long war."
Blood fin looks to your shark who whispers back to him what she said.
"Sea ponies want to offer Shark Tribe a similar peace? What price?"
>>434457
you can see the island, there are a few dragons flying about on it, trees, a river flowing down from a tall mountain peak.

"I do not know yet, but their kind is throwing a dinner party and has said that a few shark ponies I invite will be allowed to attend. You can all talk about the price there. If I had to guess I'd say what the seaponies are most interested in is your help to defend them from monsters that their magic can't drive off."

one of the teenage dragons looks you over and just points up the mountain "The dragon king lives there." he frowns "He hasn't learned to command your kind as well has he?"
>>434460
he looks again to your shark friend who translates for him and smiles speaking enthusatically in his tongue.
shark pone: "Blood fin says he will come to the meal, but wants to have a seat next to your friend Ebony."
Ebony:"well I don't mind.. what do you think Oddette?"
>>434463
" So.. awesome.."
>>434464
She smiles "Yeah, of course. Is there anything else I can help with?"

I grin at her.
"He's big and strong. I think you two would look cute together."
I turn back to Blood Fin.
"I'm fine with you sitting with her so long as she stays fine with it. You have got to promise that you won't be violent or threaten them, alright? We do this peacefully so you don't scare them into doing something stupid."

she nods " Cinder can show you somewhere else in the city if you want. " she nudges cinder who is humming as she finishes putting glitter in Diamond's now braided mane. '1d10' rolling for amount of glitter
"Right. I was just finished anyway."
" Well, Its based on the same concept as summoning ice or fire but this works anywhere."
>>434468
"Well, he has eaten a few of our young, but mostly he uses that magic stone to control us. Works on all dragon-folk, so if you got any dragon blood In you I'd stay away." the teen dragon looks scared. "Worse is that he raises the hatchlings to think he's an actual god and they fight for him like mindless animals."

Blood fin nods "I promise my sharks won't kill the sea ponies at the meeting"

"besides dragons? There are some cows, and goats. Wild animals like wolves and mice live in the forest… which you probably don't know what those are being a seapony.. but under the island there is a squid sometimes attacks boats might try to eat you."
>>434481

At the bottom of the sea. Our heroes take swift action.
Odette: with Ebony the bat cleric by her side, Spirit Fang the shaman sharkpone, and Blood Fin the mighty Sharkpone. You are ready to Go face the twins Lex and Leon.
Cloudcaller and Rhodan: You have discovered the dracoliches' island. like many islands its actually more of a mountain underwater and a vast network of caves lies below it. You know the dracolich lives up top of the mountain and the river looks like it can take you up there with a bit of work.

"From sharks like me that had to go up there to hunt." he smiles but since he's a shark it looks a little creepy. "They really are great."
you soon arrive at another cave, there fish bones floating here and there and fem-shark ponies outside of it, they look at you and whisper, one darting inside, a pair of large white shark ponies soon swims out. They greet Blood Fin by hooking fins with him slapping their tails together. and then spirit fang by allowing him to touch their their fin in a sort of bow. After a moment of hurried talk by Spirit, and Blood fin seeming to cackle at him for something he said.
The white sharks finally address you "Hello surface dwellers, why do you wish us to meet with our enemies? "

You take off down to the caves. There are a few sea serpents of varying size but you can probably avoid them if you're careful. Inside the first cave there is some seaweed and a fish or two that scurry away from you when you get close. the light is dimmer here but enough to see by.

"And your race doesn't deserve extinction, but that is exactly what might happen if you piss off the surface dwellers enough that they send a fleet after your species and trap you between them and the sea ponies. What the seaponies are doing now isn't nice, but neither was your species keeping them from feeding in the area with plenty of food."

They huff together at that. look at their shark-mares, more than one of them has a bit more of a lump that the others.
"We will talk with you two more inside." the say at the same time. "others stay out."
Spirit looks shocked but then they add with reluctance "Spirit, we'll need you too."
they lead you into their lair chasing out a few strong looking pups one who attempts to get a look at the two sea mares without being noticed '1d10' Their cave has a pile of fish in the corner, mostly larger species like sword fish, they have a pile of tablets in the other corner, and some seaweed covered rocks big enough for four sharks to lay down. they sit down on a rock and lean in closely to you. "Please go into more details about the surface threat."
>>439077
The serpent reacts almost reflexively to you coming forward to it, spraying you with hot water. you hit a wall and are helpless. but he seems to believe your words "Can you break his hold sea pony?"

you move out of the way and speak calmly to him. he blinks. "Artist huh?"
He stops attacking and offers cloud caller a fin.

Working with the seaponies isn't the easiest thing, I know, but working together will let both of your species thrive."

Lex and Leon then nod to each other and then turn back to you "pardon us little sealings " then they shout at each other and knock on the cave walls a few times, and punch each other brawl style giving each other artificial cuts.
Spirit sees Ebony's reaction and shakes his head "The things they do, they do to stay in charge."

"Many generations ago, long enough that it has fallen into legend.. The shark clan was small, and led by a mighty whale. The whale did not care what the sharks eat so long as they stayed with him on the terribly long trip around the sea. When the sharks saw this land, rich with fish, and plenty of caves to nest in, they deeply desired to stop. But the whale lord demanded they press on, battling and defeating those who suggested we settle here. Then a mighty shark, one of the biggest shouted to his brothers, rallying them to battle against the whale. That was our first leader, Whale Slayer the White. "

He nods and reads it "This is more of a formal writing it says: We have defended against he seaponies again. They steal from us 45 fish for every seapony, they bring more seapony each moonfall. We need more shark warriors."
Lex "That is from 5 generations back writing was new"

A few scattered dragon bones, and chunks of meat are on the ground.

She rolls over her large seapony body is a dull blue, and she has a few wrinkles, and a grey mane. a long horn is growing out of her head which glows a light blue as she lifts a dessert from the tray. "Yes, this diner is such a silly idea. the sharks will never agree to it. and even if they did, who can understand their jabbering jaws." she scoffs. "this war has finally turned our way, Slugra." she prattles on. "What outfit should I wear to look particularly powerful, the red one?"
>>439189
"perhaps.. if they proved faithful in combat then the others might come to trust them. Sharks communicate as much with action as you surface ponies do words."

you sneak out the door, waiting until the maid is leaving to do so.
you attempt to dig with your tail fin, but then only manage to hit yourself on a rock 4 hits/ 5 wounds.
Maybe you should try again with the claws this time.
>>439214
"It will be odd.. but we will try." the add in as a note "please be sure none of the seaponies have fresh wounds."

you make your way back to the ship. The closest pony on deck is Anya who is chatting with the little serpent you rescued earlier. She's managed to get the little guy relaxed it seems.
"Oh, Rhodan, Cloudcaller. I wasn't sure when you'd be back. " She looks at the eggs "Is that.. More sea serpents?" she asks

>>439267
She float them out of the water and looks them over "I don't think this is the same kind of egg as the one in the tank." she sets them on deck tapping one or two gently. "The shell is much harder. and the colors are different."
The little serpent confirms "Yeah! Those are land dragon eggs."

Anya shrugs "My knowledge of baby dragons is only theoretical. And considering our island had some different rules, might not even count for these dragons.."
The little serpent excitedly chimes in "There are two things a land dragon can eat. Gems and Meat. The more you feed them the faster they grow. Gems make you magic, Meat makes you strong. That's what Big Blue taught me."

Arioso and Allegro: you are following an excitable sea pony mare called Cinder. She has shown you to a market place full of various booths, and ponies trading good and a colorful type of coin.
"[p]So, like.. don't you think these shells are the best?![/p]" she shows you a pair of colorful shells with ribbons on them, presumably so you can tie them to your mane or clothes
Alecrus: you are holed up in your room when you find that the book you need, the one called [sea serpents: a scientific study ] is not here! you'll have to go try and buy it.

"Oh, you look totes cute Girl! " she giggles and ties in the matching shell to her mane. " Now we're like sisters!" "
>>443195
"Its like.. a trading market! Seaponies from all over come here and exchange goods. We've like.. never had one before the city was built! just traveling merchants that go from outpost to outpost.. but this is sooo much better! "
>>443193
You head off to the market, its been awhile since you've been there hasn't it. It seems like a few more merchants have moved in on the spot, making it all the more crowded.

You easily guide yourself to the scholarly merchant you used before. He is a shrewd young business pony, has a keen eye for knowledge and thieves, but his clownfish like pattern makes some uncomfortable with him. "Ah, Alecrus, come to see something specific?" he is carefully monitoring a pair of scrappy looking sea-stallions.
>>443205
>>443207
She lays a few of the color coins on the table and the merchant smiles at her "Generous as usual Cinder."
" We use these.. sand dollars, a coin that the queen herself came up with long ago to help unify the nation. You can also use other things of value to trade." she looks at the mace "Like, where did you even get a thing shaped like that? We could get you a spear instead, or.. like.. I dunno what else the warriors use besides a spear!"

"Well, I'm sure I have another copy." he take you over to the second shelf and begins to look it over. the two seaponies he was watching seems to vanish as soon as he looks away.
>>443212
Cinder scratches her head "Well, its made from like.. different valuable shells and.. somehow it all sticks together. "
>>443213
"Uh..a hammer! I know a guy who likes hammers yea! he's this way!" she swims toward a large shell with a slight glow to it.

she blinks "What do ya mean, actual sand dollars? "
>>443220
"ahh here it is.." he pick the book up but turns bright red at your mention of that. "They what?!" he drops the tome and it kind of floats in the water in front of you, as he hurries to counter opening it "THOSE IMPS! Scoundrels, I knew from the look on their faces and how they tried to say they were after a mythological tale, pfft I bet they didn't know the meaning of the word. "

>>443219
you two arrive at a buff looking seapony banging away a red hot piece of metal, he looks up at you "Cinder, what an unusual sight."
"Yeah, this guy totally wants a hammer or something. you're absolutely the best hammer guy around! "
he rolls his eyes "I am the local smith after all. and I do more than hammers "
"So, you're totally the guy to help him out then? I'll cover his hammer!" she giggles.
he nods and looks to Allegro "well lad, what can I do for ya?"
>>443231
>>443234
"Oh, well we have plenty of those around. Totally cute pets."
>>443232
He looks mad as hell still "2 sand dollars. And I'll have to close up for bit while I go hunt down those thieves."

he nods locking up behind you both "That'd be appreciated."
>>443240
He pulls over a rack of weapons "Any of these interest ya lad? Or I could patch up ye mace for ya[/mace]"
you may select any normal quality weapon here.
>>443244
she looks scared "Beach? You mean those dry places with no water where baby turtles come from?! Like no way I would go there. "

"Its alright. This one will tell me." he glowers at the seapony he has cornered. "Won't you. Where did you stash my money you runt?"
the smallish seapony stallion shakes his head. "No!"
>>443273
"yeah, totally! it was just the grumby tomekeeper. He can't hurt a shirmp." you can see another sea pony, that shimmers as the light hits his back, next to the clownfish pony, they are talking to a smaller seapony, looks to be covered in rags.

"Sorry, I was in a bit of a hurry. " He says as he searches the thief "him and his friend stole a lot of money from me." he finds a bone key on the lad. "magical key huh, who did you steal this from?"
the seapony thief just sticks his tongue out. "You'll never get the money back"

his eyes widen at that, and he looks as if he wants a shell to hide in, but only has his patchy coat which he pulls up to hide his face.
The shopkeeper has brought over a sea-guard.
"There he is, that's one of the ones that stole from me."
The sea guard look to you three and nods "Thanks for holding him I can take it from here." he pulls a pair of crystal rings out and places them on the theive's wrists they connect with a magical beam and tighten to the right size "Alright son.. come with me."

"Nice to meet you! Name's Alecrus, but for sake of brevity you can just call me Al.
>>443377
I'll float a little to the side from the patting, before righting myself.
"Well, it's not just enthusiasm, you know. I've never been on a proper adventure, so I figure, why not try one on for size while a couple of traveling adventurers are in town?"
I'll swim back and forth for a moment.
"Ah, but this means I'd need to pack! And maybe get some actual gear? We'll need supplies, and maybe glow rocks for lighting, and and…"
I'll just sorta trail off as I start drifting away.

And so the day was a little over half over. The party coming from their various missions to gather near the ship. The ship has its sails up, and anchor down. Cabbot, Anya, Captain Fading Dusk, and a few others are curiously looking at you from the deck. Ebony the bat priestess who transformed into a seapony-bat is floating next to Spirit fang your shark-pony friend.
Fading dusk speaks first "Welcome back heroes, what did you find out?"

"We've learned about someone controlling the dragons. We met a few of them, and I have no desire to meet them when they are really mad."
"That, you've already seen the Land Dragon eggs Cloudcaller and I found. Depending on how big they get, that might mean there is a landmass capable of sustaining them and hopefully, us."

You read a book on adventures once, it said something about always being prepared… you quickly find it and turn to the page with the list of adventuring supplies. a knife, a seaweed rope, a glowfish light.. yea, you have most of that stuff.
>>443682
>>443684
"Good job you two, I'm sure the information you gathered with be instrumental in stopping the wrong being done to the dragons."
>>443678
"Excellent! This is a huge step forward for diplomacy."
>>443695
>>443690
>>443683
"Hm, well that's a good sign. very curious that we would run into another from our homeland."
>>443691
"Really? The old queen is determined about this?"

>>443759
Spirit Fang speaks up at this "I'll your emissary. I am bi-lingual, and the official translator. "
>>443749
Cabbot looks stumped "Well, this isn't good, if it was a clear cut thing I could just go shoot her, but.. this is tricky. Call me when you wanna tackle the dragons.." and he wanders away
Dusk looks incredibly annoyed "Well, we could try to come up with a remedy for the shark's blood rage." he look to spirit fang who immediately hides behind odette and ebony.
"Please no.."
"if you're sure.."

>>443786
"Oh, hey, there you are! I was wondering where you got off to. Are you re- actually, something… uh, a bit more dire has come up at the moment. We're going to have to wait to go after them."
>>443791
I perk up at Spirit Fang's comment.
"Yeah! That's perfect! Can you stand watch in the kitchen and make sure they don't put blood in the food or anything?"

Spirit is shaking at this idea "The blood rage is terrible, all the pony leaves, only shark remains. Remedies are usually just time, make the victim pass out for a bit or let them burn out the rage.. there was one time I fixed it with a natural remedy.. but I'd rather not.. isn't there anything else?"
>>443796
"I can do that, better than trying to calm a raging shark, particularly our leaders they are the strongest.."

"A hero? Really? To who? What have you done? How many dragons have you fought, princesses saved, bandits dealt with?"
I'll be swimming around him excitedly.
>>443813
"My name's Alecrus. You folk can just call me Al for short. And I'm not the one they're helping, I'm actually helping them help him. Be terrible form not to help out my favorite bookseller!"

Ebony turns around and pats him on the back. "Hey, it will be okay Spirit.. We have the finest heroes ever born with us. We'll get em' to calm down."
He calms down and nods. "Well If I guard the food it can't happen right?"
Ebony nods "Yea, it won't be an issue."
>>443830
Captain dusk hoovers above you "Well sea pony Alecrus, he's referring to the army I was part of."
Ebony the sea-bat nods "I was too, I'm not really a sea-pony at all but a bat-pony."

"I guess technically they were bat ponies. They're like regular ponies but they got bat wings instead of no wings or feather wings. Also they worship this evil goddess. But not anymore because we asked them to stop.
"They had an army and they were gonna come destroy my village with storms and stuff, so I and these guys flew up there and beat them up and then stopped all their weirdo cult plans, and then we went into this tunnel and some weird stuff happened and now we're here. We're from an island over that way." I point in a random direction.
"Oh we all used to be ponies, by the way. Legs and wings and stuff."

"Sharing land? Are you sure that'll work? There's a lot of bad blood between the two races… Even with my snout stuck in the books I know that."
>>443836
"That doesn't make any sense. Dreams go away after you wake up."
>>443838
>>443839
""Ohhh.
I'll swim a bit around Ebony and and the captain.
"Say, you're really cute! What's your name? What are those things on your ears? They're cute too."

"What do you mean 'we started it'? If the sharkponies had just shared the land instead of hogging it all, the seaponies wouldn't have had to force them off of it."
I'll think a second.
"Though I suppose it's a good thing peace talks are happening now. That means sharing the land like it's intended to be.

I slap a hoof to my forehead
"Well that was dumb of me… I guess it's too late now. It seems your queen is the one who wishes to sabotage the peace talks."
>>443897
"The crystal seapony seemed at least somewhat receptive to the idea of the talks, and the princesses don't seem like it's something they'd bother with."

>>443932

>>443928
You keep swimming and arrive at the sea castle, its shimmering crystal structure a glow with the soft light from surface. The guards stop your group at the gate "Who are those sharks you have with you?"

"Yeah! By studying lightning magic and how it agitates particles in the air that's present in water, you can give ponies a tiny boost of speed by temporarily putting a little field around them that cuts through the water for you. I've seen ponies move twice as fast in my experimental trials!"

you follow a seapony who is pushing a shell full of fish, you see a few cooks preparing something. There is another shadow in the corner of kitchen, vaguely the shape of that guard you saw before, if you weren't highly trained you would never have noticed him.
>>443950
They nod "Well just see to it you go directly to Prince Daniel.." they let you throu.

Daniel "Oh, alright then. I'm glad you could join us Spirit Fang, what do you want to see first? The food, the meeting place, or..?"
Spirit neverously jumps at the question "Food! I mean, the food is most important right?" he look back to you for support

Spirit smiles "Your highness I would be happy to brief you after I check up on the meal itself?"
Daniel nods "Now, what's this about my aunt, Queen Cleophin acting weird?

"Well, the food is being carefully prepared now. you could go speak with the chiefs about it, but I had hoped to talk more about their actual customs." Daniel frowns
Spirit smiles "Your highness I would be happy to brief you after I check up on the meal itself?"
Daniel nods "Now, what's this about my aunt, Queen Cleophin acting weird?
>>443995
shadow versus shadow his shadow seems almost as good as yours, its got a bit of a shine to whatever he's holding, and its almost like a bag. Almost half his size.
>>444002

he blink "Yeah, well.. with the war between the sharks and the sea ponies, and the many other threats, most of the royal line would die in battle. I was just a baby at the time my parents died so my aunt Cloephin took over. Everyone knows I'm the real face of the people, not to mention the only royal male born for while. Cloephin's numerous daughters are well liked but honestly her line just isn't as well respected. And after I helped save the crystal pony and we built this castle it confirmed me as the rightful ruler in the people's eye."
>>444004
>>443999
"Well she has been holed up in her room a lot more lately, but I thought she was just tired because of her old age." he looks worried "She never liked the shark ponies, but I don't think she will interfere with any plans I make, at least she gave me full authority."
>>444010
"Yeah, its usually the male or a direct relative of a male leader who does the succeeding, so we can be sure who the true heirs are. Mares can also be leaders, but its less common. "
>>444014
Its more like.. a squishy thing, like a liquid. the chiefs seem to have finished the appetizers, little crab cakes. the shadow moves over them as soon as the chief swims away and you see a bit of red liquid emerge from the sack, which briefly shines with a purple glow and the liquid streams into the crabcakes.
>>444001
"Blood makes them bitey? Well, I'll have to be careful of that."

"Oh. I'm sorry to hear about your mom and dad. I hope she doesn't, but what if she does something drastic? What would you do if she tried to sabotage the dinner or something like that?"
>>444022
I grin.
"Your coltfriend liked it."
>>444024
I laugh then give you a little kiss on the cheek.
"Pay attention more often and there will be more of those for you."

Studiously ignoring the banter going on, my book-fueled mind will race ahead of me.
"But what if something goes wrong with the dinner and peace talks? It would look like your fault. Then maybe her daughters would be in line for the throne and you would be out of it because the sharks, lost in their blood frenzy due to spiked food, cause you fatal harm and then she swoops in like a heroine and wipes out the sharks, setting her line up forever?"
My tailfin will agitate the water a bit.
"I mean, that's what it would take, wouldn't it? And if she plans on disrupting the dinner, then that means she's probably already got somepony in the kitchens. And if she's already got somepony in the kitchens, then that means we're too late. And if we're too late…"
I'll put my head in my front hoof-fins and sink a little.
"Oh that would be terrible. Simply terrible."

He looks taken back by this suggestion. "Well.. it would work.. but.. she'd be throwing away an opportunity that we won't see again for generations.." he paces back and forth "But this.. can't be right."
>>444030
Why yes, it seems like the shadowy figure has a whole bag of the stuff. He looks to be about to put it into more of the food.

"Yes." he writes up a quick note "If anyone questions you about it give them this, and just be discreet about it."
the note say that the shark emissary and his escorts shall have access to the kitchen to see that certain shark traditions are not violated.
>>444041
"Down that hall and to the right."

his eyes flash red and he snarls at you "Stay back. I need room." he breathes heavily.
>>444055
You feel a little more violent, but are okay for now.
>>444057
you can evade them since you are all shadowy. you see him about to add more red liquid to some fish, you have a chance to capture the liquid..

you see a bit of blood that is coming out of the shadows, but it quickly vanishes into the food. each time this happen spirit reacts to it.
>>444066
He moves away from the kitchen, but eyes you as he does. he seems as if he's somewhere else.
>>444070
You are a dog of specifics, the raging feeling inside you is strong but you know its not real and push it away forcibly.

together you sweep the kitchen and corner a shadowy figure, its decidedly the source of the blood the chiefs find you rather rude for behaving that way.
the shadow stabs cloudcaller in the side making him fall over, but revealing he is a rather large seapony, carrying a squishy looking bag with a few jewels on it.
>>444077
He looks at you when you speak but instead of replying attempts to charge at you.

'1d10'
>>444085
you can feel the tonfas slicing into you and see the large sea pony's fin leaving their hilt and he's smirking at you. "clumsy"
you fall down for a moment but his words fill you with rage, you feel you must attack +1 to your next attack, roll an extra d10 to see if you attack friend or foe. 5/4
>>444086
he dodges your hammer and stabs you in the side as well. you fall down in pain 0/4

five projectiles are now floating in wait of your order.
>>444120
you beat him back into the sand.
>>444123
you deal a decent blow to him. but he doesn't fall down yet.
>>444124
he looks tired now. he slumps over and can't retaliate as Nox takes his bag of blood.

yes, its the one everyone is fighting! you grab the sack of blood as evidence.

if I understand this correctly, that's two water bolts and 3 regular since you failed to apply the elementalist effect
Your heal fizzles.. The enemy stirs after you hit him with your bolts, he seems to be in great pain as he gets back up.
>>444138
>>444139
>>444137
You both overpower Rhodan, he is asleep and can roll to wake up, upon doing so he will be in control again.
>>444142
he blocks your strike. and uses this chance to escape in a blot of ink.
>>444143
yes, he is the same one, you catch a glimpse of him leaving.

you catch him easily "What?! where did you come from!"
>>444147
you take away his remaining weapons, it turns out there was quite a pile, lots of knives, a few catalyst crystals, and retractable spear.
>>444150
>>444151
you guys see the situation is being handled and instead look for some rope to use.
>>444148
only a few cuts. Ebony offers "You didn't get very hurt, but would you like a heal heroes?"

she nods "By the blessings of the moon. The party shall be well again." she casts her biggest healing spell and everyone's wounds close. full health for everyone, Ebony collapses from the effort.
>>444155
"I'll be okay." she smiles.
>>444157
you leave the kitchen and see Spirit nearby "Did it get you too?"
>>444159
"I learned it from your mom." he says sinisterly.
