//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 - Location, Location, Location // Story: A Seapony's Tale: Ceren's Descent // by SinAries13 //------------------------------// “AAGH!! How do I use this stupid thing!?” Starting to get angry about not being able to use my fish-half to swim. ‘Alright calm down, Ray. There’s no point getting frustrated over this, I can learn...again’ I groaned at the thought of it. ‘Okay think how dolphin’s do it' I began to move my tail in an up and down motion. It worked, but it took a lot to get use to it. I was Glad that my leg muscles strength had passed over to my new lower bod. Hours passed, as I practiced swimming through the coral reef. ‘I guess swimming like a dolphin isn’t all that bad.’ I guess after being turned into a seapony, of course it would come naturally. I looked at my fish-tail again to see what ocean species I was crossed with. It looked like I was half-Dolphin or something. I finished my deTAILing my lower half, now wondering what time it was. Looking up above me was the ocean surface, it looked a dim orange color. “Did I just swim about half a day? Damn...”I swam upwards in order to see where I was. ‘What the...’ Now this something new, Everything I saw was the same animation as the show, but I had no idea that MLP had an outside world around it. “Since when did Equestria have a rainforest?” I looked around more to see if there is anything else. “Ok, there’s a beach, and...some kind of island?” It looked to be miles off of where I was, I’m so not gonna try swimming that far today. ‘My best chances are...follow the coast line up, follow the beach line to see where that takes me, go to the rainforest, or go to that unknown island.’ I pondered on where to go for few seconds before I finally made a decision “follow the Coast line up it is.” I started swimming to towards the beach, and followed the peaceful shorelines before exiting towards the edge of the rainforest. ----------A few agonizing swimming hours later---------- “UUUUUuuuuuugh! How big is this WORLD!” Swimming slowly under a few feet underwater so no person, pony or THING sees me. “make me a seapony” was probably the worst thing I could have said to that Italian. ‘Huh?’ I turned to see to what presence I felt behind me, but couldn’t due to the dark night atmosphere around, but felt as though, I was being watched. “HMMMmmmm...” Taking in the dark night waters atmosphere, I keep swimming with precaution in mind. It was getting too dark to see, if there was anything living in these waters though, then i’m gonna need somewhere safe to sleep. My stomach will have to endure until I find out what seaponies can eat. “Hah! There!” Seeing a patch of seaweed covering a small den.’That should keep me safe for the night’ Going toward the patch, making sure that nothing was living in it. Inside the den was what looked like a bed of some sort. “I hope whatever lives here doesn’t anymore...” I looked around for anything one more time before I went to sleep in it. --------------------------------------------One Nap Later------------------------------------------------- The sunlight hitting my face, caused me to wake up early. “No-o....somepony turn off the sun...”Grabbing some seaweed to cover my face. I was never much of an early bird person, so I sleep late a lot. “But its the afternoon.”Said an unfamiliar voice. “Yeah well I’m still tired.”I grunted. wait a minute...unfamiliar voice? I shot my eyes open to see who’s watching me in my sleep, everything was blurry for moment until I saw it. ‘Oh glob’ There it was a seapony, looking right at me. “Cool! You got two different colored eyes!” the Smiling face said at me with amazement. I was too flabbergasted to reply back. Apparently, it sounded like a girl, but looked a little tomboyish if anything.”Um...What are you doing?” I manage to utter finally. “Chilling” She said while lying down beside me. “Thats what I mean, Why are you chilling beside me?” I said before getting up. ”Well it is MY away camp for when I’m not at home” she said plainly.   “Why do you need an away camp from home anyways?” Now I’m curious.  “To get supplies for the shops at home, duh” Not breaking eye contact with me for a second. “And does HOME have a name?” I said Getting a little irritated not knowing it. “Well it’s home.” she said Trying to hide what seemed to be her trollface, but that was to no avail. “Ya start’en ta get on my darn nerves! Tell me the NA-ME!” She giggled. “you’re funny!” It’s official, she irritates me already. ‘This trolling seapony...’ I facepa-hoofed. “Did I say you had to two different colored eyes already? Because I think they’re cool.” Wait...what’d she say? “Hold on could you repeat what you just said just now?” Finally sinking in of what she had said. “You. Have. Two. Different. Colored.Eyes.And.It’s.Cool ” She said still not breaking eye contact. “You got a mirror, or something?” I said asking as nicely as I could. “Yeah, I found one nearby Gear Grotto.” she pointed to a bag near the seaweed bed, but she didn’t get it. “Ya mind getting it for me?” I said hoping she’ll break eye contact, and she did smilingly. She grabbed the bag, rummaged through it and picked up a small mirror shard from her bag. ‘Aw crap eye contact. . .again.’She ha-dammit fins me the mirror. “Um...thanks.”Trying to ignore the fact she’s staring A LOT. My attention drawn towards the mirrors reflection. ‘I must be dreaming if I see a seapony with Heterochromia’ I thought Examining my eyes closely. ‘I don’t know if I can hate that Italian bastard, or love’em’ I always wanted to have two different  colored eyes. My right was jet-black, while my left was crimson red. “Ha! I feel like Kakashi Hatake.”Did I say that out loud? “Who?” She asks. “Eeyup, I just did’ I thought. Uh...nothing, so where’s that HOME you was talking about earlier?” Please don’t ask again. “Oh! It’s north from here, but I guess you’ve never been there before, have you?” I nodded. “Don’t worry! I’ll take you there, and you can meet my friends.” I give her back the shard, and she stuffs it back in her bag. I gotta bad feeling about this but what choice do i have? I sighed. “Lead the way” She smiles, and goes on swimming ahead. ‘Heh. Her being in my grill, I’m finally be able to get a better look at her’ I thought giving her a once over. She looks like a seapony from the G1 series, body color was light purplish blue, Black hair with white and grey stripes in it. She was basically a seahorse with fin arms, but What caught my attention that it appears she doesn’t have a cutie mark anywhere on her body. ‘Do seaponies even get cutie marks?’ Lost in my deep ponder, I wasn’t paying attention to where we’re going.‘Do they even know what cutie marks are?’ I continued my thoughts about this topic. “. . .rom?” did she just ask me something? 'Maybe I should ask the elder, or mayor of this HOME we talked about.’ “. . .me?” she must be asking about me. “Huh, what?” I said Snapping back to reality. “I asked you earlier on where were you from, but you didn’t answer, is something wrong?” She looked worried when I didn’t answer her, better let her I’m okay. “Uh...nah I’m fine just thinking about stuff, does your village have a mayor, or an elder, or something?” Her worried face lightened up a little. “Um...yeah we do. He’s the old seapony in the over decorated coral hut. You can't miss it, in fact, nopony could miss it even if they wanted to.” She plainly said. “If they wanted to? Whaddya mean by that?” Confused by this new fact. “You’ll find out what I mean when we get there.” she looked irritated by the thought of it. We passed by some coral reefs, and started up seeing the ocean floor shoot up above the water. ‘We’re by an island? And the village is underneath it? Okay that’s kinda cool’ I finished my thought before we reached a cove of some sort. “You live in there?” I asked. “Yeah, it’s just up ahead. Come on, and meet everypony!” She’s so excited, she went on without me. ‘This place better be good’ I thought as I swam inside the cove. It got darker as I swam further in. Looking back at  the entrance, seeing it was getting farther away from my view. I looked forward again, and saw a faint light blue light ahead. Swimming faster to see what a seapony village would look like, I reached the end of the cove tunnel. “Wh-oa” gazing at the wondrous sight laid out before me. “Welcome home.” She said smiling. “Are you gonna tell me the name this time?” She giggled again.
