We are searching the area, scouring the floor with thousands of seaponies… and so far we’ve found found absolutely nothing on the ocean floor, especially in the areas where I had those… hallucinations.

This wasn’t the problem though. After all, we couldn’t search every inch of floor and frankly, after nearly a year, we’ve only searched a fraction of the ocean. It’s far too large and much of the floor has pressures that would have been too intense even for the deep ponies and myself included. However, we were able to use our latest magical scanning spells to examine the portion of the bottom where I had those hallucinations. As best we could anyway. 	There are also places we couldn’t search. The abyss. That was where Yoth is imprisoned.

The problem was when I forbid any seapony, even Starswirl from going near it. He kept persisting me for the answer, but I refused to tell him.

… unfortunately, he did guess that something was down there and will not stop badgering me about it. Creator damnit. I’m starting to regret inviting him to help me. He’s being a severe pain in the flank.
