This was a very fun story. Making a new species for the ponies to discover and befriend is an interesting idea, but it was handled well. Daisy being a runaway princess was a little obvious, but her befriending Spike and Scootaloo and showing them around while running from her guards was fun. The ending scene was especially funny.
As an avid Redwall fan, anything involving otters has my attention. I have to admit that this was every bitva fun oneshot meant for laughs and smiles, so while the world building wasn't the best, it didn't have to be. Even so, otters using a system of water slides to get around does make sense. Maybe 1000 years after High Rhulain, Green Isle might reach that level of technology and build infrastructure like this. The water swords were impressive. In a more serious story Id like to see exaclty how their magic works. I'm thinking a magical scallop from the depths of the sea.
A very fun obe shot with a nice ending joke. Good to see a story featurung kids having fun. Not everything has to be a dire situation of intrigue. That's why I ebjoyed Craig of the Creek, at least until they added that stupid evil king storyline.
All in all, I give this story a 9.5 out of 10.
This sounds like a cool place to visit.
You had me at "otter"--my favorite animal.
All in all a cute story.

Also a fellow Redwall fan here! I had to fight to not just automatically assume Redwallian otter logic/worldbuilding to everything myself because of it, and even then, I couldn't help but envision Queen Jazzy like the High Queen Rhulian, even though she's clearly different.
Speaking of otters, I'm surprised there aren't any Spellsinger crossovers. Can you imagine Jon Tom and company in Equestria?
Yes. Otters. Most delightful.

It's a virtually forgotten series, and it isn't that difficult to see why - it's simply not that good.
I do have something of a soft spot for Spellsinger, there's a lot of fun little ideas there - I mean, the communist dragon alone. But realistically, it's unsalvageable commercial schlock of its time. Poorly written - Foster's writing in general tends to be on the weaker side. Tropey, derivative, juvenile, bordering on insipid. Pretty much all song references, one of the main selling points, are hopelessly dated. And so on. For better or for worse, its reputation improves the more people associate it with Foster's better works without actually reading it.
Otterly delightful.
