A Merpony's Adventure
Chapter 46: Chapter Forty Five
Previous Chapter Next ChapterSelene was sitting on the bed as the nurses were working on drying her mane. Celestia and the others stopped in the doorway shocked. Her tail no reached the floor as her fins were spread out on the tile. She looked over to the door and smiled softly as the doctor walked into the room reading the clipboard.
“Good news your levels are at a correct level according to the specialist in Canterlot. You can go home today with” The doctor looked up towards Selene as the nurses pulled her mane out of the towels. Selene giggled a bit as she pushed her mane back.
“Apparently my body decided to grown when I hit the water” she looked towards her hooves trying to ignore the stares of the ponies in the room. Twilight opened her mouth but her brother was the first one to beat them to the punch.
“How do we get her from here to the library?” he walked over and noticed her fins as the nurses started to braid her mane but it would constantly slip out of the twist. The fish in her hair would move around and watch Shining Armor. He backed off a bit as the nurses were a bit frustrated at her mane. They had given up and started to walk out of the room leaving the others. Twilight looked towards Cadence.
“You want to get the twins bundled up. I will try and get Selene to the”
“Twilight you and Cadence bundle the twins up. Me and my sister can teleport Selene to the library so she doesn’t have to stay in the cold longer” Luna walked over to Selene eyeing her new tail. Selene moved from the bed as she wrapped herself in her magic. She stretched her hind legs as she looked up towards her aunt smiling. Selene was slightly taller than Cadence as the fins resting against her side were draping over her as a thin robe. She flexed them slightly causing them to move and ruffle slightly. Her mane was down to the ground causing Luna to gather it into a simple bun with some of it hanging down lightly. Selene looked up towards her before her eyes were blinded with a bright light. She kept blinking her eyes as she looked around the room trying to get the spots out of her eyes.
“Oh please warn me Auntie” Selene moved away from Luna as she found a pillow to sit on. She could hear Ra and Za moving around as another blinding light. Selene groaned as she rubbed her eyes “Can ponies please stop teleporting for a moment so I can see” she wined as she kept her eyes closed. Her ears caught the sound of hooves moving around her.
“Sorry, Selene” Twilight’s voice spoke up causing Selene to open her eye after keeping it shut for a while. She could see the twins were bundled I blankets as they were looking over at her. She opened her find waving it towards them. They started to giggle as Twilight was taking mental notes on her fins.
“Oh wow they are large and they act like bedsheets” Twilight was staring as Celestia chuckled.
“Twilight children first notes later” she smiled as Za walked over to the group.
“We cane help princess.” She smiled as she walked over at Cadence waving her fins at the twins. Dusk’s eyes lit up as he reached out for Za as Celestial chuckled “Oh they are so cute” she chuckled as Cadence handed the twins over. Selene was staying in her spot till the door of the library opened up. Rarity and Rainbow Dash walked in with Fluttershy behind them. As the door opened up they let the cold wind blowing in. Selene’s ears went up as she quickly moved from the pillow towards the tank. Twilight and the others watched as all they saw was a blur moving past them.
“Rainbow Dash how can the weather team scheduled such a storm?” Rarity groaned as Rainbow Dash shook the snow from her mane.
“I will tell you the same thing I told Aj. We need it! The summer was too harsh this year and we need the winter to help restore the ground and let it rest” Rainbow groaned as Fluttershy walked towards Twilight. Her eyes were staring at the tank as they noticed it was glowing. Dusk let out a loud hiss causing the eyes to turn towards him. He was staring at Rarity as Celestial was hiding her face away from them.
“Oh dear he fistey”
“Rarity no!” Ra held his hooves up stopping the white mare “They don’t know you. Until Twilight or Selene introduces you to them slowly he will” at that moment Dusk raised his fins and shot another stream of milk towards the mare hitting her in the face. Fluttershy covered her muzzle as Rainbow dash fell to the floor in laughter.
“young man you have done that three times now” Celestia raised her wing pointing it towards him. Dusk shifted in the wrapping hiding his face. Ra looked towards Dusk.
“That’s normal princess. Until Selene can calm down and introduce them slowly meaning one at a time he will do that. You see when a merpony has her kids they stay in the cave. Family or others in the city or town they are living in will come one at a time to be introduced to the children so they know the ponies around them.” Za pulled him closer causing him to let out a small cry. She shook her head before looking around.
“Where is Twilight?” this caused the others to look around. Fluttershy and the others walked down into the basement noticing she was sitting at the tank staring up at the wall. Selene was in the tank her fins were stretched out wide glowing softly along with her mane. She had small schools of white and blue fish swimming around her. Her tail was curled up behind her as Selene had her face down at the glass watching the unicorn.
“Oh my, she grew” Ra looked towards Za.
“Just wait till we get to the topics” Za sighed as the others turned towards her.
“She going to keep growing?” Twilight’s ears went up scared. Za glanced towards Ra as she nudged him.
“You want to tell them? You were around for the last Queen of the sea”
“The Kings of the sea when they come into power. They stay the same but their strength is crazy. They grow stronger and are capable of destroying coral and sea floors. Queens, however, grow large and their magic becomes stronger. Her grandmother grew larger than Krill and Edan. Looking at Selene she might be like her grandmother. I am not sure since Queen Roseate was the first queen. The others were all kings. No merpony knows what a queen can do since Roseate was exiled from the kingdom from trying to stop some old customs. Were still learning what will happen” Ra rubbed the back of his neck as Selene shook her head as she rubbed her face. She moved around in a circle as she flexed her fins behind her.
“She looks lovely!” Rarity smiled as Selene moved back towards the glass. Her tail moved behind her as her fins were floating behind her. Selene blew some bubbles around her as she smiled.
“Rarity, Rainbow Dash can you go and gather the others, please. I am pushing the date forward. Ra which merpony from the Sanctuary you would recommend?” Celestia looked down towards the guard.
“I would say Edan since Equestria is currently in winter” he looked up towards the alicorn with a worried look.
“Grab Edan you and she will deliver a message to the king. We will be arriving within the week. Please alert the locals so they are not shocked as well this time” Celestia turned as she walked out of the basement. Twilight had taken the time to look away from the tank and noticed the basement had changed. There was a large crib that had part of the bed underwater while the other half was dry. It had a small wading pool that was shallow enough for the twins to sit in. There were a few other pieces of furniture sitting around the room.
“Ra, Za did you do this?” she pointed around the room as the two guards shook their heads.
“I think Discord did this” Fluttershy spoke up as she walked towards Cadence looking towards Celestial as she was squirming. Cadence walked over to the wading pool and placed Celestia down in the water. Her tail was moving as the merpony let out a giggle. Hearing her giggle Dusk moved to the point his head was out. He started to move his hooves causing Za to place him down next to Celestial.
“You two are going to be trouble aren’t you?” she chuckled as Dusk raised his fins.
“He has a horn but he has fins. Oh, his eyes look at his eyes” Fluttershy laid on her stomach as she placed her head near the wading pool. The twins were watching her silently as Twilight chuckled.
“Well come on Rares. I will get Aj while you get Pinkie Pie” Rainbow rushed out of the room as Selene stayed in the tank moving towards the bottom. Her eyes stayed on Fluttershy as she was relaxing a bit. The twins were staring at Fluttershy as Celestial raised her fins causing the water around them turned into bubbles. Dusk giggled as his fins flapped. Twilight was busy walking around the room.
“Fluttershy this is too much. Discord did not half to do this” she smiled as Fluttershy lifted her head.
“He did the same to the cottage as well. I couldn’t stop him as he was just so happy” she smiled as her wings were fluffed up. Her face was red as she rubbed her neck. A large pink blur rolled down the stairs bouncing every other step before landing on its hooves. Pinkie was standing on her back hooves throwing her front hooves up in the air smiling.
“I heard some babies were born!” she had confetti as Twilight stared at her friend. The twins were trying to hide in the bubble around them watching the hyperactive mare. Selene was watching from the tank her fins were moving behind her.
“Pinkie your scaring them” Fluttershy spoke up as the pink mare bounced over to her friend.
“Oh but babies love me” her tail started to wag as she looked down towards the little ones. Dusk had his fins up causing Twilight to move over and pick him up quickly in her hooves.
“No we are not doing that” she held him close as he kept eyes on Pinkie Pie. She had a sour look on her face as Rainbow and Applejack came walking down the stairs. Spike came down with some drinks. Rainbow looked over at Twilight as Dusk was in her hooves his fins up.
“Pinks you might want to look out for him” she started to chuckle as Cadence walked over to Twilight.
“Twilight you need to calm down and just let him be him” she smiled as Twilight placed Dusk back in the wading pool. Applejack and Pinkie moved slowly as Dusk spat another stream of milk towards them. He was standing over his sister as she was staring at Fluttershy. Applejack and Pinkie backed up as Rainbow Dash started to laugh. Cadence rubbed her chin as she looked towards the tank. Selene was swimming around but her eyes were still on the twins.
“Za what can we do to end this habit?” Cadence spoke up as she turned towards the guard. Za looked up towards her and pointed towards the tank where Selene was watching them.
“Oh, boy is that Selene?” Applejack spoke up as Twilight nodded.
“You need to let her introduce them one at a time. Or let Twilight do it. They can tell who their parents are. Twilight just has to have her tail out and they will cuddle and listen to her. Or Selene can come out of the tank” Za was watching the merpony as she shook her head. The fish around her stared silently “Selene?” The guard walked towards the tank. She was currently in a ball. Za left the room rushing towards the tank as the others simply stared at the tank. Za jumped down into the tank as she swam towards Selene stopping when she saw her eyes were black. Selene uncurled herself as she opened her muzzle to scream. Za and the others could see a large pair of fangs sitting in her mouth as her hooves started to turn to claws. She jumped for Za but was stopped as Star wrapped her hoof around her neck pulling her back.
“Get out of here!” she growled as she pulled her trident out “Now!” Za turned tail and moved from the tank. She quickly turned and run down the stairs to the basement. Cadence was shielding the kids as Twilight and the others were watching in shock. Star placed her trident on Selene’s head.
“You want to fight monster than fight me on my grounds” Star growled as her trident started to glow blinding everypony for a while. Once the light calmed down Selene was floating in the water her eyes closed. She had a golden scrolled words around her neck and her wrist. She was resting as her fins floated around her and the fish lazy saw around her mane while a few of them nestled into it.
“I am telling Celestia we need to leave now” Za ran out of the room as Ra followed her. Twilight sighed as she looked towards her friends. Rarity sighed.
“I will get me and Sweetie packed tonight and we will come over and stay” she turned and walked out of the room as Pinkie nodded.
“I will pack as well”
“I will get some Daring do boots together and will be back” Rainbow quickly left as Fluttershy smiled before she walked up the stairs. Applejack fixed her hat.
“I’ll get me and Applebloom and my bags packed” Applejack turned and walked out of the room as Cadence looked towards Twilight.
“I will get Shining Armor and I packed and we will get to Celestia and get the ships at the ready” she disappeared leaving Twilight and two fussy twins. She walked over to the twins placing her spell on allowing her tail to appear. The twins looked up towards her before holding their hooves up towards her. She laid down in the wading pool sighing to herself slowly. Selene opened her eyes as she sits up stretching her back. Looking around she noticed Twilight was laying with the twins. Moving from the tank she pulled herself up and over to the stairs. Climbing down the stairs towards the basement. She got to the pool noticing Twilight was staring at her.
“Are you okay? I am so sorry for falling asleep. The door had opened up and I wanted a warm place” she rubbed her leg as Twilight looked towards her.
“You don’t know what happened?”
“Did something happened?” she tilted her head as Twilight shook her head. Selene walked silently over to the twins laying beside them as she moved her tail. The twins moved over to Selene latching onto her breast causing her to blush a bit.
“I am still not used to this” She chuckled as Twilight nodded. Selene laid stretched out in the wading pool allowing the fish around her to move and hide. Her fins were stretched out wide moving slowly. As Selene was resting her head on her hooves a light blinded her causing her to groan. She hides her face in her hooves as Cadence and Shining Armor stood in the room shocked.
“Bright Lights” Selene groaned as she moved her fins up trying to keep her face hidden.
“Sorry” Cadence smiled as she turned her head towards Twilight, “Aunt Celestia said to start packing now and to meet them at the train station. The ships are at the dock and the captain said if we can get there tonight we can leave the harbor before another winter storm hits” She smiled as Twilight looked towards Selene.
“How are we going to get them to the train safely?”
“Leave that to me” she smiled. Selene was a bit worried as she noticed the smile on Cadence’s face. Her eyes widen as she gulped a bit. And in a blink of an eye, they were gone.
