Entry 56: Resistance

Damn. Just… damn it all. We’ve continued the euthanizations with the basis that the children have been struck by a disease and it could not be spread..

However, that has not stopped some parents from isolated or nomadic communities from hiding their young, and releasing them before adulthood.

And we only know of this now, three years after the third wave of births, because we’ve spotted a small pod of these armored seaponies fleeing from place to place.

I… I… I’m so sorry, but we need these creatures dead. They are a threat to Aquestria.

However, I cannot deny that their resistance stems from a wish to live.

Still, I have had to send my Myrmidon guard out to search and kill these armored seaponies. Against them, they should stand no chance.

Hate to say it, but these last couple of updates really turns the whole kelpie persecution thing on its' head...

[Swift Reader]

From the main history, I had sort of understood that keelpies appeared when the Queen (this queen) made a deal with the elder god and become a priestess and mutated and then, keelpies started to born
But this way is more heartbreaking, poor things are normal ponies, until literally become crazy and need to eat... let's say, advanced consciences. Is a nice thing to know that at least their childhood is normal, a very small niceness, but there at least.

As is it's intention. Considering that it's from Samudras perspective.

This is the beginning of the end of Empress Samudra, isn't it.

True, but if accurate, it really dilutes some of the sympathy for the kelpies since it seems they're NOT a natural subspecies of seapony at all, but something caused by the influence of one of the elder god things.

Good counterpoint.

What counts as natural when that same elder god made the sea ponies in the first place? After all the Creator merely altered the sea ponies.

Well I have a feeling that her guards aren’t going to be able to deal with them.

8667310 8667565 8667351 besides, in a magical society when people can literally make new species... what is natural :P and what is persecution? Do the kelpies deserve a chance to fight for their own survival? :P

"When people can literally make new species.."

You make it sound like it's common. My point was how is it unnatural when the being that made the alteration is the original creator in the first place.

8670221 ... when did I say it was common? Okay, their was a possible implication, but I just wanted to point out the weirdness of saying something is natural or not when one way or another, something sentient created them :P

Fair enough.
