After over one thousand years of banishment, the three sirens have been freed and taken over the kingdom of the Hippogriffs. With all resistance broken and shattered, they look to spread their voice and song further abroad. Zebrica calls.
As I promised, I've been working hard on both the sequel to my Midnight Sparkle series, as well as the odd oneshot to fill the gap before then. As a result, today, you get one such goodie.
I know this is overdue, and is kind of awkward to talk about since my second-to-last blog post was literally me talking about how I wanted to commit to regularly posting Secondo again and really hammer out the story properly.
Yeah, I'm sorry everyone. I had a few ideas for how to continue after the previous chapter but none of them I felt went anywhere exciting. In the end, due to a combination of work, lack of other ideas, and having other freetime activities to focus on, I simply decided I'd go on a bit of a hiatus for a while.
Over a thousand years ago, a great crime was committed, and three innocent souls, acting only by the rules of nature, were locked away. Until recently.
Recently freed from their ancient prison due to the growing strife among seaponies and hippogriffs, the sirens emerged from the waters. Though a resistance quickly arose to oppose their new musical rule, they too were eventually swept aside and drowned out by the song that ruled all.
Hippogriffia was theirs, and their victory tasted sweet, but they all knew these were baby steps. There was a long road ahead of them. A treacherous path filled with dangers and revelations, one that would challenge everything they once knew and held dear, sometimes turning expectations on their head.
Zebrica, the ancient home of the Zebras and more lay just beyond the Seaquestrian channel and, with it, a land of mystery, opportunity, challenges, and surprise. A new, modern world is rising, one which strikes at the very type of magic with which the sirens have so long claimed supremacy over others. It is time, now, to weather this great current and let their song stay true throughout it, to let it be heard far and wide, through the trenches and cities, over the boom of artillery and the roar of airplanes.
The shores of Zebrica await, and the show must begin.
I urge you all to give it a read, upvote it if you're enjoying the ride, and bookmark it; more chapters are on the way as the sirens make their way across the vast lands of North Zebrica!
