" There is a fish in the water."

Chapter Four: Waters Secrets

It was early morning. Blaze and Jonon were already up Blaze was out helping the blacksmith by using a flame to help him make weapons and armor. Jonon was training more of the militia that will protect the town. My job? Well my job was building what you could call fishing boats to get more fish. I wasn't sure why they asked me to do this. But I was introduced to the dock master. A old Griffin that used to be the captain of a fishing boat that crashed into the rock's many years ago. He was showing me how to make a good fishing boat out of some of the trees they cut down. He had a strange carving saw and started to carve slowly into the would that would be the boat.

" You put yourself into the grain of the wood. You try to make sure you keep the image of the boat in your mind. Remember you can fail there is enough wood to learn. But still remember we need enough of these to send some of our fisher's out with a large net. Now a few mare's are making the net as we speak. Now as a hero heh you should be ready to be asked to do very strange things."

Giving a nod using my magic to life the strange saw carving device. Placing it on the wood. With the grain i calmly carved a little sliver of wood. I did make a mistake here and there keeping some sharp corners. But I kept with the movement of carving with the grain With each movement of the straight chisel. Using my momentum to go with the grain into the wood. I stopped for a moment to look over my work scraps to patch some of the other boat's. I had to remember I have never been fishing. My curiosity got the better of me when I looked up to watch the other workers. They made it look so easy. Even if I didn’t keep my eyes on the wood I just kept into the grain. Watching the others make me look like a fool. At least to my own mind.

Sweat poured from my brow. I was still working on my first one and it's already been two hours. But he did tell me this would take awhile. But I slowly looked back down the boat i was making and it was bad. I made a hole all the way in the bottom and the shape was way off. I sighed and lifted the boat to place it on a pile I was told for the ones that don't work. Taking another log and slowly working again. I have never worked so hard in my life. Oddly some had an easy time in the wasteland I did as well for being where I am. I have been trained using muscles in my body i never knew i had. Then a strange whistle sounded and everypony that was working suddenly stopped and the Griffin yelled.

"Lunch is served everyone." I sat at the table and food was given to us along with drink's. In Front of me fish was placed in front of me along with some strange juice and then a male smirked at me.

" So did you two have another go?" Blinking looking towards the stallion and all I could do was blush.

" I um...no..can we not talk about that...I know every pony heard our little fun..Just..I um...Want to eat and get back to work.."

The stallion chuckles. Using my magic, I began to calmly eat while hearing a few birds giving very soft calls. Slowly eating and it seems my sex life was the topic today. I could hear them talking about my screams of pleasure and about Blaze's gloating of her being with the hero. I sighed and calmly moved away from the table my face so red. I sat at a table that had no others around me. Eating but the dock master slowly sat with me and I looked up to him.

" Miss Star Shooter? I am sorry that you are being the victim of the warden's sense of humor. But you have to understand life on this island is very bleak. You have brought so much hope to this land. Oh and i forgot to give you my name. I am named Salty. Yes. A Griffin with a pony’s name. But eh it happens when you have been a captain for so long."

Didn't say much just still had a slight blush on my face but he gave a gentle smile. " I used to be married to a wonderful lady. She was a lot like your Blaze." He placed a claw on my hoof and as i looked at his face, I could see that he had tears in his eyes.

" Don't let her go. Keep her close, as much as you can. I lost my wife when we came here. The queen took her from me when she thought my wife was well trying to start the rebellion. I haven't seen her for 40 years and I know she hasn't killed her."

He looked down sighing a bit and looked back up to me with a smile. " So don't take love for granted. Hold them close and make sure their your every waking moment." I looked at him with a gentle smile and nodding.

" I shall make her my every waking moment when I am not being the hero. But she has a job right now. As do I. I promise, I will be there for her as much as she needs me to be." He smiled and stood back up.

"Thank you for helping us. Eat your lunch. We know that it's hard to make new boats. We will be using the boats you fail at for repairing the walls of our homes." I smiled softly as he left and calmly started to eat again and after I was done I stood up and went back to carving.

00000

It's been two hours after lunch and my second boat failed. Sighing deeply I didn't want to give up and stop. Closing my eyes tightly and thought of a good way to do it. Thinking of it as a poem. Saying loudly enough that some could hear me.

" Follow the grain.. Follow the sun that allows you to sing. Follow the grain..remove the wood, try to form the boat. Follow the grain of the wood. Follow the grain."

I slowly said the words over and over. I could see a boat being formed from it and I had a smile on my face. I felt such a great deal of joy from doing this. The sun, of course was bearing down on me. It made me hot but I didn't let it stop me. The smell of decaying fish from all of it being descaled and getting ready to be eaten. But I couldn't stop now. I felt my hooves getting covered in splinter's from...well not doing it right.

But I finally made a good boat and set it where the other's are. But they needed me to do more and I felt so happy when I made it. But I needed a breather. But I couldn't stop now lifting another thing of wood with my magic I was over extending my magic as well. Putting my hooves on the straight chisel and slowly, While I carved the boat it made me work so hard that I panted.. Feeling my muscles so stiff and feeling so much pain and i collapsed on the wood pass out.

00000

A few hours later, I woke up in the doc's bed. As i opened my eyes, i saw something i found interesting. I was seeing Jonon and Blaze sleeping in the room. As if they were waiting for me to wake. Blaze head was on my chest sleeping soundly and I groaned softly. Blaze opened her eyes and stared at me. She had a angry look in her eye's.

" Star Shooter...you need to not overwork yourself. You look so drained and they found you passed out down by the docks and they brought you here and you will be here awhile. I was very worried I don't want this legend of being a hero..to hurt you Star shooter. But I can't control what you do.. But I can protect you." Jonon gave a nod she seemed a bit disappointed as well but it was bound to happen.

" Little hero needs to rest. Blaze will stay here I need to go back out working. So we can finally leave here." Then then turns to leave but turns to look back at me. " Before you work again, we will train train to get your stamina better. So you can last longer in bed with Blaze." She grins. My face turns bright red.

" Oh come on Jonon not you too.." She smirks, gently nodding then walks out. Blaze turned to stare at me.

" You will not be leaving till I think you are rested enough." She crosses her front legs over her chest staring at me with very angry eyes. " Understand?" She asked.

Staring at her I have never felt this way but I smiled weakly.

" Yes love..."

Blaze smirked and left the room for a moment. I sat up on my haunches on the bed, closing my eyes and breathing softly. After a few moments, i opened my eyes and looked around. I tried to use my magic. But I forgot that was drained and it was harder than i thought it would be. But I had to work. Then the brew maker walked in and smiled calmly.

"I have a brew here for you that will help you regain your magic. But remember, this is your choice. It will change you a bit. I know that's not something you want little hero. But sometimes you need to change to become better and tougher even if the path of being tougher it's not going to be easy or very simple either."

Giving me the choice. Blaze opened her saddle like bag removing the brew or potion it was called. From the bag to set it infront of me. Now I had a choice take it or not. With a move of my magic. I lifted it up to take a swig of it. Now my magic was a bit shaky so it was hard to keep it lifted. Giving her a nod and she set it in front of them and left the room. Blaze walked watching me with a great amount of love in her eyes.

"If it keeps you alive and from getting hurt, drink it. I will not have the one I love always hurt and...I will do whatever I can to make sure you don't."

Nodding, I lifting up the brew and drank it. I coughing a bit after a drink. I tasted awful. ‘Maybe it tastes better after the first sip?’ I thought. I drank another and wow it still tastes awful. Setting down the bowl coughing. Then looked up to her with a gentle smile. But it would seem to slowly work. But it would take time to recharge my magic. Slowly getting off the bed and Blaze wrapped around me with her tail and lifted me back on to the bed staring at me.

" You will stay here a few more hours doctor's orders love." She smiled. Keeping me there on my stomach by her tail and gives me a sweet smile. " I will do anything to keep you safe my love. It means keeping you here. So I need to get back to the blacksmith. When doc tells you you can go. Then you may go."

I gave her a nod calmly saying, " Yes love."

Blaze smirked. " Good girl."

She removed her tail and then walked out slowly but looked back at me before she left. She slid her long snake-like tail along my chin, her eyes looking at me seductively. " You will get some tonight." She winked and I shivered, my face turning extremely red. She then turned and walked away, leaving me alone for the moment. Sighing happily, I lay there to relax, my head flops onto the pillow. I start close my eyes to rest.

000000

I seemed to be in a memory, a dream or a memory dream. I was in the body of that large pegasus Bulk. This was before even the house was built. He was on a ship heading to an island. My host yelled loudly.

" Do you see them?!" A mare replied beside him.

" Yes. They're trying to get to the island." Then a bright flash happen right in front of them. At the right time, the spell came down to give them a way in. The waters stopped being so choppy and the zebra gun ship fired at them.

" Fire back! fire back!!" There are three Zebra gunships and three Equestrian Gunships but when they get closer there seems to be a strange spell and that Alicorn I saw engulfed them all in a flash. But after the flash ended Bulk opened his eyes to gun fire.

" Captain! Captain!!" Bulk’s eyes open up at the very sound of the word captain. He comes out of his office on the ship. He turns to stare at the one screaming at him.

“You better have a good reason to wake me up.” Bulk growled under his breath.

The mare gulped, nodding. “The zebras have been spotted. They’re trying to get to that island. We need to stop them before they make it there.”

Bulk lifted his head to stare at the ships heading to the island. He shook his head. From what I could tell, he didn’t want to do anything that might cause a problem. He lifted his Mini-Gun in his mouth, placing it on his back.

“Get the cannons ready!!” The mare yelled but Bulk stared at her. “Um… belay that order.”

“Get them to shore and we will take care of them.” Bulk demanded.

It took awhile but the pony ships guided the running zebras to the island. Not a shot was fired even during war time. Bulk knew it was wise to not fire on an escaping foe. The foe may be zebras but these ones are running from the war. They don’t seem to want to fight. But when both parties get on the shore. A mare is standing there. Her white body glows in the moon. She spoke in a demanding gentle tone.

" Hmm... Ponies...Zebras...Equestria i take it?" She said with a gentle voice. Bulk nodded.

" A war is going on? Really? So you bring this war to my lands? How dare you?!" The ponies along with the zebras raise their guns at the Queen. She sighed rolling her eyes.

" Sir.. I can give you all the glory you want.. I can see it in your heart. You want this war to end.. You want the Zebra threat to be bowing at your hooves. I can give you this.. if you promise to work for me."

She gave a sweet smile the white unicorn seemed to be very sincere. Bulk looked at his ponies he was commanding and then back to the Queen.

" This war... has been going on for so long. We wish it to end.. But if it could end here.. I offer my troops to you." The Queen smiles and she vanished.

Then the dream turns to the Zebra leader of these troops. He seemed to be one of their strong warrior's and it looked like its been a few day's.

"We must fight on. For the Caesar. " He calmly said and his troops agreed but was it wise to attack now? But the guards that seemed to be ponies, along with the Queen, were approaching. The Queen smiled.

" I come to you in peace."

My host seemed to not be very sure but he nodded.

" You want the ponies to bow to you. I can do that for you."

She smiled softly.

" There is a forbidden zone you can face them at. I shall place a spell and you can do whatever you wish to them. I know you have been here for months now. But the ponies are enslaving the Zebra they find and forcing them to build them a fishing town. Among other atrocities. I'm willing to help you. Just take a few group of troops there and attack them to free your people. But you must go with them."

The commander nodded.

The dreamed ended and two looked at me from the darkness.

Ah you are the hero of Legend. " The commander spoke softly. " Only the hero is able to see us. Then listen to our story." Bulk nodded.

" But." Bulk started to say. " You will have to go on your journey to understand why she did what she did. She asked me to enslave the Zebras I captured and asked us to rape them to breed. But after the house was built I realized what had happen. But it was to late. My children and grandchildren sent me with some troops and power to the forbidden zone."

I blinked simply asking.

" What else?"

The commander laughed.

" No no little hero. You have to follow our path to understand it. Do what the elder has said. You can then learn the past. But I warn you, the past is not a wise thing to go after. It can bring out the sin's of those that you don't wish to see." Bulk nodded and he looked to the Commander.

" What he said. Follow our path, follow the seal." They both vanished from my vison and I just stood there in the darkness while my body slept. What is this all about? Why am I seeing these things? Are these like memory orbs. I closed my eyes, seeing the facts for the first time. There is more to this island then i have been told. I fear that no pony even knows why it was made to be like this. Maybe to hold the Queen here? Maybe a test to bring the ponies to their knees? All i know it has something to do with the past and the sins of the past. But what sins?

Then I heard a song a soft song.

" Ring out the old.." It echoed slowly. " Ring in the new." Then it slowly stopped and then I couldn't hear it anymore. But dark evil laughter replaced it. Those dark eyes opened out of nowhere again. As they stared at me, I saw a evil smile with the just the teeth. A dark voice spoke out.

" Ah so you are starting to see little one. I fear you will be to late. For you left the home before you could get ready.. Read for what is to come in so many years. Of course you won't remember seeing me child." Strange arc's of magic filled into my body as I screamed in pain. As the memory of this meeting was painfully removed. He laughed darkly and loudly as I felt the memory vanish and then I was there alone. What did I just see? I had no idea but what I thought I saw what is to come. I need to get to the forbidden lands and for that I needed to wake up.

00000

I opened my eyes looking around coughing a bit feeling myself in a cold cold sweat. But I sat on the bed groaning. Seeing Doc walk in and smiled.

" Ah! Good morning little hero. Blaze is sleeping in the next room. She wanted to sleep in here but..I couldn’t allow that." I gave a weak smile and slowly got out of the bed on my four hooves, groaning a bit.

" I feel better doc...I just need to finish working and then get to the forbidden lands." I sighed softly and stretched my body groaning.

" You aren't ready yet little hero."

Blinking looking to him and the doc set down a small list offering it to me. " When you go to the forbidden lands. I need you to gather what you can. To make potions. I also need you to gather whatever weapon you can find for the blacksmith, as well as ammo. Then try to find a blueprint if you can if you can't. They will find a way to build what they need to. I feel the big reason you aren't ready is because you don’t know this land. Let Blaze lead you.” I sighed then spoke out.

" Listen Doc. I don't think trying to make weapons like those in the past, would be a good idea. It would cause a war." The doc sighed and smiled weakly.

" Little hero. The war is going to start no matter what. The thing is, we need to win it and be free from the Queen thus breaking the spell keeping us here. You don't understand little one. If we can't leave to trade, we will not survive. We can’t live on just eating fish. Besides some of the folks here are tired of the same old island. We need some fresh DNA here to. The local gene pool is almost depleted. It hasn't happened yet but sooner or later it will."

My eyes looked down sighing softly and looked around calmly. Maybe he is right..I thought to myself maybe if I don't do something and free them something like this would happen far down the line. But the issue is I am not sure on that. Closing my eyes softly thinking and I heard the Doc leaving and he stopped.

"Oh and Blaze is getting everything ready for you to leave. Jonon is making sure the entire town is ready for you to leave. You better finish what jobs they would give you here. Because I doubt you will be returning anytime soon. But I do feel you should stick around before you leave. like gather all the supplies you can. Because I doubt the flight there will be very simple. But you will be leaving for the forbidden lands in Two week's but we need to get ready. Because it would take a long time to even try to get another Griffin away from their war. So in two weeks time you will leave. But still check around first."

I sighed laying back down feeling a bit tired still and looked up to the doc with a smile.

" Alright doc just need to rest and think for a bit." Closed my eyes a bit, I had to think it wasn't going to be easy to do this really. I sighed softly, laying my head on the bed. Sighing softly again , i was left alone to think. ‘This island is starting to worry me.’ But I found my will to get up and slowly started to leave, but then I noticed an old photo. Looking right at the photo and I blinked my eyes going wide. In the photo is Wheel Tread. Rushing out to the find Doc and stared at him.

" You... I knew...I knew you.. You were Wheel Tread's doctor. The one that went missing when I was young. The one... who" Tears formed in my eyes. " That brought me into the world." I lifted the old photo it was me as a newborn with my mother, my father and the doc Doc stared at me, his eyes turning to look down at the photo. He had a blonde mane. But his mane is much whiter than I remember. his old eye's stare at me. Tear's form in his eyes

"I left after wheel tread chased me off.. After he found that orb called the howling dance. It helped him stay alive. But it also is what got him to be so weak.. he already was in that chair.. But the last memory i had.. Was bringing a filly into the world." Tear's slide down my face and I just smiled.

" Doc. Thank you." I gave him a gentle hug. Doc just had a gentle smile.

" What happen to the camp little Shooter?" Looking up and I smiled softly.

" It's free. That's all I’m going to say. I will break the spell so you can return. To see what has changed." He gave a nod as I slowly walked out and found Blaze placing all kinds of supplies into the cart that we will be flying in. When she saw me, she lifting her tail wrapping it tightly around me and pulled me close into a deep kiss. I didn't care I started enjoying the fact that a Salamander was in love with me. After the kiss, she smiles.

" I am sure the doc told you to keep working.” I nodded and She continued, “ Then check around for more of what you need to." Giving a nod and removed myself from her tail and calmly winking at her while walking back down to the docks.

00000

Getting back to the boats, I found my old one still there. I smiled and with my hooves, I started to work on the boat again. I closed my eyes, calmly allowing the movements of my hooves to work the chisel. Hours passed quickly, yet little notice was payed. All my focus was on the chisel and the boat. Most of the workers have left as the sun started to set. It would be the first time I ever was around here during the night. As the moon rose to it’s peek, I had finally finished. The boat was not perfect but.. I noticed the net laying nearby. I needed to help them somehow. Lifting the net with my magic and slowly got into one of the boat's. Getting deep enough were I can get some fish, I placed the net into the water and let it stay there. But I heard strange sounds and then creature singing.

Looking over to the water and heard the sound of crickets chirping. Along with hearing the hoot of an owl. Then i could swear I heard more singing and then words.

'Listen, child of the land. Please fight for us.'

Blinking looking around hearing more singing. ' Please fight for the creature's stuck near the shore's of this island. Oh please little hero save us.'

Looking around seeing strange fish creature's one comes out of the water. Some seem to be sea ponies. Wait sea ponies...their real? But then I saw another sea monster. My eye filling with uncertainty. Not sure what I can do for all these creature's. But the song kept going along. As I fished for food for the ponies.

'Oh little hero...of Equestria...Please free us...So we can see the world. See our families. Please on the very light of Luna's moon.'

Tear's formed in my eyes and dripped down into the water. How long have they been here? So much pain, this song was making me sad. It sounded so painful. These creatures are in such pain. I spoke out as the song kept going.

" How do I save you?! How?!" I yelled out my heart beating feeling so unsure. " I am not even a hero. I am not the Lightbringer I am just a unicorn that is so far from home. I don't know how I can save you." I said with sadness in my voice sniffing. The sea monster, the sea ponies and other creatures come out of the water they still sing.

' Free us from the spell.. Free us from the pain. We are stuck here..like the one's on the land. The queen has cursed us.. The queen has wronged us.. When the war happens little hero. We will fight for you..' Then a soft female voice sings and it's just one. Looking to see a pure white sea pony mare.

' Please hero I know your feat's. I know your hope. I have seen the good in your heart.' She brought out her fins and held my hoof and smiled softly.

' Hero help us free us.' All of them even the sea monster sings.

' Free our souls little hero.' Looking at them all seeing their pain. Looking to see some of them have even been tagged some of them even have their fin's ripped one of the Sea monster's seems in pain. I thought it was only the creatures on land that were in pain. Looking back to the white sea pony mare. Tears fell down my face.

" I will do it...I will help save you all. I am sorry.." I cried hard and the mare wrapped around me. I have never heard such sad singing. These creatures are in such pain. They have hope in their eyes but the hero is breaking down. Would the hero still be the one they hope even if they break down. Then the mare looked into my eyes and she spoke softly.

" I know you don't think your a hero little young hero. But when we hear that you attack the castle. We will come and fight. In our own way.’ Giving a nod and she kissed my forehead but then my eyes go wide as the world around me vanished.

00000

I was in another memory. My host was the sea pony mare that just kissed me. I think she did this to show me this. She had a large family. Around this time was pretty young and they were swimming near the island. But something happen the magic formed causing the storm.

" MOM! Dad!!" My host screamed as she was forced through the spell and she was being pulled away from them by the magic sea monster that caused most of this spell. I heard her name.

" Snow Drift!!" They both yelled along with her family. But they didn't chase after her. She woke up and was in a fish tank and the Queen gave her a smile.

" Thank you dear." A strange cloud of smoke nodded to her and then drifted away. " Hello little Sea pony. My servant's found you dying on the rocks. So they brought you here to help you heal."

My host just looked at her and nodded.

" You will be let go when you are fully nursed back to health."

She smiled, nodding to the Queen. Her eye's look gentle this time. But something is about to happen i feel. Then I felt something get clipped to my host ear and she blinks. " I am sorry little one but I need to keep an eye on you in the water."

The clip makes my host scream since it sends pain through her. She passed out and woke back up in the water and she saw other's of her kind ripped broken and battered. Then saw a few sea monster's sobbing they seemed ripped apart as well. A large shark floated to her and looked at her with a frown of pain.

" A new one." He gave a weak smile showing no teeth. " I am grandpa..or most call me that..I have forgotten my name. But I protect these one's. I see the Queen has tagged you as one of her pets." He sighed and looked towards the way to Equestria.

" I miss Equestria. I miss everything about that land. But no i had to come this way and get stuck by this spell." My host Snow Drift pulled on the tag and a Sea monster calmly floated over.

" I can remove it child but if I do... part of your ear will go with it." My host nodded the shark nodded as well and put his fins on my host as the Sea monster pulled and removed the tag part of the ear going. But my host grew more angry but she didn't say a word.

The vision seems to go ahead a few years. The guards of the queen are getting attacked by sea ponies in the castle. They have ways to get inside but it seems the sea ponies and sea monsters found a way into the castle. But after awhile the attacks become less because the guard's start poisoning the water they live in. Which harms the ability to get fish. But it worked after awhile the water is so badly poisoned they had to hide away from it.

Then the vision ends.

00000

I open my eyes at the mare removes her lips from my head and I stare at her ear. " Snow Drift.. I promise you i will do this for you." The white mare smiles and nods.

" Thank you.. I know my family is long since dead. But It will save more from being hurt by the Queen. Also lift up your net." Blinking I lifted up my net. As it was so heavy and I brought in so many fish more than they ever had. "I am very sure you will do this for us. That we are helping you help Cliff side." I gave a smile and with my magic I calmly went back to shore looking back to the creature's that started to sing again.

' Oh little hero thank you...Oh little hero save us.'

They slowly went back under and the sun slowly came up and I finally got back onto the dock dragging the fish and ponies woke up from their seaside home's. Their eyes wide seeing what I brought them Salty walked over to me and looked at all the fish. The ponies eye's filling with tear's and their hope filling them more. Jonon and Blaze watching from the cliff above us. Looking up to see Blaze she had a proud smile on her face. Jonon just stared at me. I could see that she was happy. But there is something she knows and I have a feeling she will not tell me.

Smiling at all the ponies, Griffin's, Zebra,'s and other races that were present.

" I will not leave for two more weeks. I will help you all i can."

Giving a smile and I sat by one of the descaler ponies who stank like scales and fish gut's. She smiled towards me she had fish bones as a cutie mark but she started to show me how it works. Use some water to clean the fish remove the scales and then then cut up the fish and remove the bones. Watching her do it with three more so I can get the hang of it pulled a fish out of the pile of fish and then started to do what she did. It was messy it stank and fly's flew around us. But we had to do it. For a while we worked through the morning cutting the fish there was a lot of them and the entire dock working party did this and then I was called by some pony.

" Come over here little hero." Looking up to see Salty and the mare beside me smiled.

" Go on hero. Let ole Fishbone's do it." I blinked at her Fish Bones? I shrugged and went to the old Griffin looking at him.

He smiled and gave me a bag of the gold coins nodding to him and a blaze rushed down taking the coin's from me smirking. " Now you go clean up. I am not giving you fun till i smell no fish on you my love."

I sighed and shook my head as she left and Salty chuckled.

" Go to the inn little hero, clean up first of course. Your job is done here."

I nodded and went up to the manson’s shower again and then slowly showered with Blaze joining me I blushed softly and she smiled.

" Now now no sex but I wish to clean my mare. Since i am clean you seem to need it more than I do. So." She got on her back webbed feet and used soap she found and went deep into my fur and mane and tail. She made sure every inch of me was nice and soapy. But she seemed to focus on parts of me that could be easily hit but she did work on my hooves and well my hooves seemed to be extremely dirty. She then turned to have me face her and as I stared into her eyes, she stared into my mine. All we could do was look into each other's eyes

" I know...this is soon Blaze... But I love you with all my heart." Blaze eye's went wide and then she smiled and held me close. I felt my heart flutter and thump as she felt her breath on my neck."

" I love you to...little Shooter." I could hear sobs between her words. But I didn't do anything but wrapped my fore hooves around her. Letting her sob happy as the water went along our bodies. After awhile though we looked at each other again. So much happiness in her eyes as well as mine. I want to take her home. I want to be with her at my home. I want her to live through this. I want to be with her till I die. I was going to make sure that would happen.

Footnote: Level up.

New Perk: Sea Pony song: You have gained new allies in the sea creatures. When the battle starts, they will come to help you.
