This space intentionally left with a bad joke.

Of all the creatures in Equestria, none are more in tune with the magic of music than the seaponies. Everything about their culture is built around it. But what happens when a seapony doesn't have that connection to song that defines them? How far would they go to find acceptance from those around them?

This really was quite the story to come back to. After all my time away and I come across this gem. Very good job sir I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I'd like to see this idea elaborated upon further, sea ponies! Who would have thought?:pinkiehappy:

I think this was really great, I hope you right more of it

Oh discord, nice idea.
I like this story although personally it would make more sense to me if they used the gems out of malice but I understand that wasn't what you were going for.
Over all great story! it was well thought out and well executed, plus I'm a sucker for mer stories

I hope you continue this, I really do!

Wow . . . a most creative origin story for the sirens, and a very apropos description of sea pony culture as well. Excellent writing!

I'm not sure how the gems work is identical to canon, but that's a small thing. I noticed in the movie that the siren's original form looked somewhat like giant sea horses.

Very impressive; and even if you don't continue it, I feel it's just enough of a prologue to what we know already from the movie. The concept of these necklaces, to me, gives an implication that their voices after the events in the movie aren't completely beyond hope - which feeds well into head-canon for a piece I'm working on now (my first here as well).

I don't know much experience you have with writing prior to this (noticing the "1" above Stories), but the wordsmithing here to my amateur eye seems superb. The punctuation flows, and the word choice seems to deliver the feeling in smooth way. Like this one a lot.

Have you ever considered submitting this story to Equestria Daily? You can find out how to do so here.

5235523 Where did you get the icon for your avatar? It seems like it's from a movie/cartoon, but I don't know what it is...

It's Foxglove from the episode "Good Times, Bat Times" of "Chip 'N' Dale's Rescue Rangers."

Isn't she adorable??? And so many bronies think bats are horrible, blood drinking things! No, Foxglove is what Flutterbat would really look like!

That was pretty great. Loved the history you gave the Sirens, and I'd definitely love to see more.

thank you for writing this.
thank you.

Dang, that was a pretty good read. I love finding angles I've never imagine, and them being the rejects of society was never something I thought of.

Ooooo backstory! I love me some good backstory especially when its great backstory! I don't like it when the villains don't get much of a backstory. Like King Sombra. Anywho... great job here my friend!

I think you should expand directly after the Battle of the Bands, it would be interesting to see each Dazzling reflect on their life choices and revert to their more child-like attributes. How far will a human-turned-seapony go to be loved when she's shrouded in hatred? Just a suggestion!

And that mysterious pony was Star Swirl the Bearded, wasn't he?

Super-cool, :rainbowdetermined2:

Oh yeah, before I leave:

Beings from all over hope to hear at least one seapony song in their life, to experience a thing of legend.

Your wish is my command, :coolphoto:

Amazing story, I know how they feel:fluttercry:

A poignant little prelude, cleanly written with some interesting backstory. Thank you for it. If this is the quality level I can expect out of story #1, I look forward to the ones which follow!

As she spoke, Sonata's face slowly broke out in an eager grin, and even Aria was smiling down at the gems – their salvation. Aria watched them, before drawing in a breath. “There is... one thing I didn't mention, though.”

I think that last "Aria" should be an "Adagio" though. I already have enough time telling them apart. :derpytongue2:

Lovely little story, thanks for writing. One of the few interpretations I've read of them starting as 'good' characters that I actually liked :twilightsmile:
