Okay, this is strange. It’s been an entire decade. Ruling Aquestria has occupied my entire mind and while everything has been peaceful, well…

I’ve been hearing things again. I am hearing things right now. I’m not even in Aquamaris right now. I’ve been visiting the shores and the lovely coral reefs there, when I heard voices in the shallows. I tried to follow them, and led my guard on this merry whale’s chase all over the reef, only to realise that nobody could hear them.

Either my hearing’s just that much better than there’s, or it’s those voices that have returned.
