The ocean was alive with creatures as the warm water was calmly flowing. A school of bright yellow tangs sawm around the coal following the current. As small Sea horses were going about their day. A few queen angelfish were present as another school of tuna sawm through. A pair of bright ice blue eyes were gazing down upon the shipwreck that lied on the bottom of the ocean. The ship was cracked in half most of it covered in the light tan sand as the other was sitting up tall covered in barnacles. White and blue fins beat slightly in the ocean current as it sent the merpony towards the shipwreck. A long white and blue merpony with fins stretching out to her side as she came to the shipwreck. She lit up a small silver trident allowing her to see inside of the abounded ship. She moved her hooves along the waterlogged wood. Her dark blue mane was tied up in a bun as she stuck her head into a room looking for anything. Outside of the ship, the fish had all swam away leaving the place calm and quiet. A predator laid in wait watching the merpony move through the empty ship. The merpony let out a simple sigh as she found nothing of interest. She left the ship feeling down as she couldn’t bring anything new to her collection. As soon as she exited the ship the predator from afar sawm as fast as they could towards her. The young merpony only had a second when she glanced up. She felt a pair of hooves pressing her up against the shipwreck. The merpony looked up and noticed she was being held to the ship by a large grey shark. She watched as the shark leaned it’s head down grinning towards the merpony.

“RA!” the merpony yelled as she pushed the shark off. The shark had a large grey body with a rainbow mane. The orange eyes of the shark winked at her before letting the merpony go.

“Selene, what did Za tell you about shipwrecks?” Ra leaned down looking towards Selene. She bowed her head down as she moved a bit of the sand.

“Wait till I am older” she huffed as Ra started to giggle.

“Your father is back let's go” Selene’s eye lit up as she started to swim towards home. Selene watched as she looked towards the distance noticing a tall gold and silver castle glowing. She swam faster noticing the cheers of the ponies coming from the kingdom. Watching as the guards along the outskirts of the kingdom bow as she flew by. Moving past the ponies she noticed a tall dark green merpony with long white mane and beard his silver eyes watching the speeding bullet. Selene crashed into him wrapping her hooves around him.

“Daddy! Your home! How was the surface? Did you see anything?” she was swimming around him causing him to laugh patting her head.

“My dear I just got back. Why don’t you go and see your mother. I believe she is getting the others ready for bed. Which you should be getting ready for as well” Selene sighed as she moved through the halls towards a large purple shell door. She entered the room placing her bag on the nearby dresser while sitting her trident on her bed. Selene pulled her mane from the bun allowing it to flow out. She then moved towards the bathroom washing her hooves quickly before jumping into her bed. The door slowly opened as a tall dark purple and white merpony moved through the door. She had on a silver crown and necklace showing her status as queen.

“Is my little sea star ready for bed?” the voice was calming and soothing.

“Yes, momma” Selene sat up as she watched her mother tuck her in.

“Can I get a story?” she glared up at her mother as she nodded smiling towards her daughter.

“How about I tell you about the day I left the surface?” Selene’s eyes widen as she nodded rapidly.

“Okay. A long time ago I was on a ship with my mother and my two sisters ready to return home. Our brother was up with the captain watching the sky for any storms. During our trip, I meet the most handsome stallion that would swim with the ship. One night I had finally got up my courage and talked to him. We would talk many nights and I fell in love with him. I told my mother and she was not having any of it. My sister Solarium and Lararium” Selene watched as she saw her mother giggle at the names “they were not sure what to do. But my youngest told me to follow my heart. That night under her moon I jumped into the water and I never looked back” she had a smile on her face as Selene let out a yawn.

“Mother can I go with dad and find my aunts.” She watched as her mother touched her head.

“I am sorry little one. Only your father may go” Selene noticed the sullen look on her mother’s face as she buried into her bead closing her eyes.

“Good night my little sea star”
