//------------------------------// // A Visiting Joke // Story: Brother Bother // by PonyPixel //------------------------------// At Mount Aris, a young hippogriff known as Terramar was swimming around in Seaquestria before heading up to the surface. Using the pearl shard he wore on his neck, the seapony transformed into a hippogriff. Landing on the sand, he could see his father, Skybeak, waving to him. He was waiting at the platform along with General Seaspray. The young hippogriff flew up to his father, both of them excited. "So, are you excited to see your sister again?" Skybeak asked. "I sure am," Terramar positively responded, holding his lunch pack. "Mom already packed my lunch for the long trip." "That's good. It should only take an hour or two before you get to Ponyville. Should be better than flying." "I still don't see why you don't want to come with me," Seaspray spoke. "Terry would like a visit to Ponyville." “Yeah,” Terramar added. “I've never been there before.” "If you insist," Seaspray responded. The doors to the coaches opened up and two of the hippogriffs got on board. Terramar waved goodbye to his father before the guard's whistle blew and the doors closed. The train to Ponyville pulled out of the station. The trip proofed it was going to take a while. They stopped at one of the stations along the way as some passengers got on and off. One of them that boarded was a dragon that was carrying a set of bongos with him. The bongos were taken to the baggage car and the dragon sat across from Terramar. The young hippogriff wasn't used to being around other creatures aside from ponies. The drake saw Terramar and decided to speak up. "Hey there, how’re you doing?" he asked. Despite the appearance of the dragon, he did sound kind of friendly. "Uh, hi?" Terramar replied. “I’m doing pretty well.” "The name's Garble. I'm heading to Ponyville to visit my sister." "Wait, really? So am I." "That’s cool. What's your reason?" "I'm traveling with one of the queen's guards for some sort of meeting. What about you?" "I got a letter from one of the professors asking if I'd like to help with a poetry class. It'll be nice to visit my sister without some kind of disaster going on." "We seem to have a lot of those. Anyways, you like poetry?" "It's been a secret talent. Any talents you like to share?" "Um... None that come to mind. I do have a piece of a magical pearl." "Well, what does it do?" Terramar demonstrated his pearl’s abilities by turning himself into a seapony, much to the shock of Garble. "That's new." "You've never seen a seapony before, have you?" The dragon just shrugged. The seapony transformed back into a hippogriff and they carried on making small talk on the way to Ponyville. At the School of Friendship, Smolder and Silverstream were stuck in class. They did their best to keep focusing, but the dragoness kept glancing at the clock and the hippogriff was starting to daydream. "Man, will this class ever end?" Smolder grumbled. The clock looked like it slowed down every time they looked at it. "Come on," the dragoness begged. "Just strike three." Tapping her claws on her desk, Smolder leaned forward as the clock's seconds hand just passed the nine. Silverstream could see this too and got excited when it passed to ten. Several more students looked at the clock as the hand got closer and closer to the top. At last, the clock struck three, and the bell rang. Students poured out of the classrooms like mice, ready to have some fun. Smolder and Silverstream ran out of the school. "I thought the class would never end," the hippogriff sighed. "Yeah, I know," Smolder agreed. "If our professors weren't connected to the elements of harmony, I would've thought they used some kind of spell to make school last longer for us." The two walked downtown as they both began thinking. "What do you want to do now?" Silverstream asked. "Hmm, I think Professor Rarity said that she had new dresses she'd like us to try. Maybe we could keep one of them." "You mean like for a tea party?" "You know it. If not, well, we still have some spares." "Eeh! I love knowing you always had a thing for dressing up." Silverstream's attention was taken away from her friend as they heard the whistle of the Friendship Express. She over to the station, to which her friend followed behind. Several ponies were disbarking from the coaches, though the ponies weren't the thing Silverstream was interested in. The blue and cyan hippogriff standing on the platform walked over to her. "Hello, Silverstream," the hippogriff spoke. "General Seaspray?" the younger one questioned. "What are you doing here?" "I'm having a meeting with Starlight Glimmer. We have a concern about the safety of you and the other students." Silverstream just nodded as Smolder walked over to them and decided to join in. "Why are you meeting with Starlight and not Princess Twilight?" the dragoness asked. "Queen Novo sent me to see how the school does when students are out past curfew. I've heard about one of them risking his own safety to stop some crooks. While I do admire his bravery, he sounds like he lacks morals..." As the general kept on talking, Silverstream was distracted by somebody else. Specifically, the hippogriff that was related to her. "Terry!" she cheered. The bubbly student flew over to her brother and gave him a surprise hug. "Whoa! Silver!" Terramar gasped. "I'm happy to see you too." He was able to pry his sister off of her so he could breathe properly. "What are you doing here?" "Dad managed to convince Seaspray to bring me along to Ponyville. Oh, by the way, I met someone on the way here." Terramar pointed back to the coach where Garble was just stepping out carrying his bongos. Smolder was surprised to see her brother. "Garble?" the dragoness questioned. "Hey, sis," Garble responded. "Aren't you happy to see me?" "Of course. I mean... I get why Terramar's here, but why are you here?" "I was told that I was requested to help teach poetry. Though, I might have to wait a while for that." "Probably for the best." Smolder turned her attention to Silverstream and whispered, "Can you believe Gus would do that?" "I honestly don't know much about him," the hippogriff replied. The two turned back to their brothers, who were a little confused. "Who's this… Gus?" Terramar asked. "Some griffon with a screw loose," Smolder answered. "Anyways, how about a tour of Ponyville. I'm pretty sure this is your first time here." "Second time, actually." Smolder was confused by this, though she began piecing things together when she could see Silverstream looking a little embarrassed. "I might've gotten a little careless with a report," she admitted. "Let's just get started with a proper tour." She quickly grabbed Terramar's wrist and pulled him away. The dragon siblings raced off to catch up with them. They started off by showing the location of the school. This was nice, though both visiting brothers were more interested in the giant castle that was made of crystals. "Was this always here?" Terramar asked. "To me, it was," Smolder responded. "Though, you probably shouldn't eat it." Garble looked at the base of the castle, where there were a few chunks taken out that looked to be bite marks. "Have any of the ponies been concerned about this thing tipping over?" Garble asked. "I don't think they've noticed." "How about some fun places to hang out?" Terramar asked. "We could get something to eat," Silverstream suggested. "We can stop by Sugarcube Corner." "Okay, we'll do that," the drake responded, "Just let me talk with Fluttershy and the other ponies here." Garble took his bongos inside of the school, leaving his sister with the two hippogriffs. Silverstream was still trying to think of some fun ideas what they could do. "Hey, Terry," she said, "I know a pond where we could use our pearl shards." "Ooh?" "Yeah. I was hoping that we could test it on the other students. "Smolder, how does that sound?" The dragoness was a little surprised by this question and didn't like the sound of it. "Um, I don't think Garble would be interested in swimming," she responded. "Besides, a swim party usually is more fun with more than four creatures." Terramar was a little disappointed by this while Silverstream was perplexed. A few minutes later, Garble returned. "Okay, so I've got everything set up," he said, "What are we doing first?" Silverstream was about to suggest her idea, but Smolder spoke first. "How about we look around town until we find something?" the dragoness suggested. Her roommate wasn't pleased with being interrupted. "Sure," Terramar said. "I heard there's a nice bakery around here." "I can take you there right now." Smolder led the way for the hippogriff and drake while an annoyed Silverstream slowly followed behind. As they traveled downtown, they passed through the Ponyville Market. The boys could see various items being sold. Silverstream was curious to see what kind of items they could buy, maybe even a souvenir. Soon, they came across a unicorn who was selling bottles of perfume. She could see the two girls coming closer and waved to them. "Excuse me," the mare spoke, "Would you like to try some new perfumes?" "Perfume?" Silverstream questioned. "What kind?" "I've got plenty to choose from. Cherries, peaches, apples, but I've got some new ones. Like my Mystic Forest blend." The mare levitated a bottle containing a blue perfume. She gave spray in the direction of Smolder and Terramar. Silverstream sniffed it and was interested in the scent. "Kind of smells like... It's familiar." "Smells weird to me," Terramar admitted. "Hmm, we're just passing by," Smolder explained. "Suit yourself," the mare said. "These products are selling fast." The dragons and hippogriffs simply carried on with their walk towards Sugarcube Corner. Inside, Mr. Cake was just serving one of the customers before he saw the sibling pairs walk in. "Why hello there," the stallion said to the visitors and their sisters. "I don't remember seeing you two before." "We're visiting," Terramar informed. "Well then welcome to Ponyville. Anything I can get for you?" "Hmm, do you have anything for dragons?" Garble asked. "Glad you asked. We're trying new treats, like this." Mr. Cake pulled out a cupcake that looked to have some gemstones baked into it. The two dragons were amazed by this. "Half a dozen please," Smolder requested. She placed some bits on the counter as they were given six gemstone cupcakes with Silverstream pitching in with some more to make the other half of the dozen regular cupcakes. She wanted something that she and Terramar could eat too. After receiving their dozen cupcakes, Silverstream smelt something familiar. "Hey, Smolder, how much did that mare spray on you?" she asked. "Only once," the dragoness responded. "Why’d you ask?" She then sniffed the air as she could smell the perfume too. Mrs. Cake walked out of the kitchen and looked to behold a familiar bottle. "Hey, that's the perfume that mare was trying to sell to us." Mr. Cake looked back to see his wife putting away the perfume bottle. "Oh, we bought that a few hours ago. We heard Rarity bought one too." "It has a strange smell, in my opinion," Terramar admitted. "I think you might get used to it after a while," Mr. Cake responded. The group soon took their box of cupcakes and left Sugarcube Corner. "You know what would be fun to go with these cupcakes?" Silverstream asked. "What’s that?" the boy questioned. "A pond to swim in. I know just the place." Silverstream led the way to the pond with two boys and a worried Smolder following her. It wasn't just the fact she didn't know what she'd turn into to, her eyes were also kind of itching. After a bit of walking, Silverstream led Garble and Terramar to a big pond. Garble set the cupcakes down to the side as he and Terramar watched the happy hippogriff dip down into the water with a flash surrounding her body. Smolder joined up with the boys as Silverstream had resurfaced. Garble was confused since she looked to be missing her beak. "What happened to your beak?" the drake asked. "Oh, seaponies don't have beaks," Silverstream explained. Garble was a little confused. "It's our pearl shards," Terramar explained. "Remember how I said these things were magical on the train?" He flew over the pond right next to his sister. With a flash from his pearl, he changed into his seapony form and dropped into the water. He poked his head up a few seconds later. "See?" "Huh. Neat. So, what does it do to a dragon?" "Let's find out," Silverstream suggested. She gestured for Garble to get into the water if it wasn't for a soft groan heard some Smolder. Garble looked back to his sister, who was rubbing her eyes. "Smolder, are you okay?" he asked. "I feel rather poor," the dragoness responded. "Poor?" "Yes. My eyes are bothersome and I don't know why?" The seaponies were a little confused by the tone of Smolder's voice. "Did she just gain an accent?" Terramar asked. Garble moved his sister's claws out of her face and found that her eyelashes looked much longer. "What happened to your lashes?" he asked. "What are you talking about?" Smolder asked. She was taken over to the pond where she could see her reflection. Smolder was surprised. "What on earth happened?" "Maybe we should tell Headmare Starlight about this," Silverstream suggested. "Good idea," Terramar agreed. Both seaponies used their shards to change back into hippogriffs, but the dragons noticed something different when they stepped out. "Uh... Terry, do the shard have... Side effects?" Garble asked. "No, why?" Terramar didn't feel his legs. Looking back, he could see why. The front half of him looked like a hippogriff, but from his wings and below he still looked to be part seapony. "What the...? How did this happen?" "Try transforming again," Silverstream recommended. He did so, but the problem just repeated itself. Not Terramar had the front half of a seapony and the back end of a hippogriff. "Oh, what's going on?" "Now we rather should report to our headmare," Smolder recommended. The group agreed and they set off back to the school, with Silverstream picking up their cupcakes along the way. After getting back to the school, they found Starlight just about to walk outside. "Headmare Starlight!" Silverstream cried, "Something's going wrong!" "What do you mean?" the mare asked. She looked at Terramar, who didn't look quite right. "How did this happened?" "If we knew that, why would we be summoning you?" Smolder questioned. "Don't give me that attitude." "Could you just help try and figure out how this happened?" Garble asked. "Okay, just... Tell me what happened before this." "We were just walking downtown," Silverstream explained. "We got some cupcakes from Sugarcube Corner after we went through the market and tested some... Perfume." "Why did you say it like that?" "You think the perfume caused this?" Garble questioned. Terramar and Smolder thought about it and agreed to the theory. "It makes sense," Terramar admitted. "We were both sprayed with some kind of perfume. Maybe if we ask the pony selling them some questions, we can figure out how it caused these effects." "Sounds perfect," Smolder commented. The team quickly headed back to the market where they would have a surprise waiting for them. There looked to be some ponies crowding around the perfume stand. Almost all of them had strange details to them. Kind of like the ones Smolder and Terramar now possessed. Garble managed to help push through the crowd of ponies to find a frantic unicorn. "Listen, I'm sorry, I don't know how this happened," she cried. Silverstream thought it would be a good idea to take the mare away from the angry crowd. So, Garble picked her up and took her away from the angry ponies with side effects. After getting to a safe distance, they placed her down and started asking her a couple of questions. "Okay, so what ingredients did you use for this perfume?" Garble asked. "Let me think," the mare responded. "I've just added fruits and a couple of flowers I managed to get from the Everfree Forest." This broke a shock to Smolder and Silverstream. "What flower did you use?" Silverstream asked. "I don't know, but it did have a nice blue color to it." The blue started ringing a couple of bells to the two students. "Poison Joke!" they gasped. "Poison what?" Terramar questioned. He didn't have a clue what they were talking about. "It's a flower that plays a practical joke on anyone who touches it," Silverstream explained. "Trust me, my friends and I have been affected by this before." "Is there any way to cure it?" Garble asked. "Of course," Smolder answered. "We just have to find Zecora so she helps fix this bothersome predicament." "What about me?" the mare asked. "Just... Find a good hiding spot," Garble recommended. He and Terramar soon followed their sisters to the Everfree Forest. The boys flew alongside by side as the dragon had something to ask. "So, I understand why Smolder's voice is like that, but what's with you being half and half?" the drake asked. "I think it's probably because of a problem I had at home," Terramar admitted. "You see some seaponies returned to living as hippogriffs, like my dad, but some seaponies got used to living underwater, like my mom." Garble understood what rainwater young hippogriff/seapony was saying. "You couldn't pick which place you wanted to stay, didn't you?" "Yeah. It was pretty much impossible for me to pick one. So my parents said the next best thing would be for me to go back and forth. It works pretty well." "Good for you." "Now, could you tell me why Smolder is speaking fancy?" Garble looked over to his sister, who didn't look very happy. "It's a topic she likes to keep private." Eventually, the quartet made it to Zecora's hut. A simple knock on the door and the zebra answered it. She was surprised to see a pair of dragons and hippogriff (or one and a half) standing outside her hut. "Well, it's nice to see a different crew," she spoke, "But I must ask, what happened to you?" "We got sprayed by a perfume that had poison joke in it," Terramar explained. "And I'm afraid it's not just us," Smolder added. "There are plenty of ponies who had been joked." Zecora was surprised by this. She invited the guests inside of her hut and looked for a recipe. "It seems I have my work cut out for me," Zecora spoke, "I feel like I'll more to make this recipe." She opened the book and started gathering the ingredients they would need to make a cure. "Do you have enough?" Silverstream asked. "Well, I have even two of you, but if the rest of Ponyville needs them this amount won't do. We'll need to get more if we want a cure, the effects of poison joke could be too much for some ponies to endure." "Then what do we have to collect?" Terramar asked. Zecora showed them the list of ingredients that they would require and it was kind of long. "Welp, there goes a fun visit we were having," Garble sighed. "Where do we start?" The group walked around Ponyville. Silverstream was carrying a list of ingredients that Zecora requested them to get. "I wish we didn't have to do this," the hippogriff sighed. "I just wanted to have some with my brother." "Mine too," Smolder sighed. As they walked back to the market, the hippogriff felt a little angry. "Why couldn't you just see what the pearl would do to you." "I refuse to turn into an unknown animal." "I think you would've just turned into a shark. Why are you so afraid of becoming one?" "Well, Spike turned into a pufferfish." "If you just went with our first plan my brother wouldn't be half of a hippogriff." The boys looked at their sisters, unsure whether if they should get involved or not. Garble also noticed that Terramar was breathing heavily. "Dude, are you okay?" the dragon asked. "I'm not if... Seaponies were meant to stay out of the water... For this long," Terramar panted. "You want me to get you some water?" "That would be... Great." Garble looked around for anything that Terramar could drink. Silverstream took notice of her brother getting dehydrated. They found a stand that was selling beverages like lemonade, tea, or regular water. They went over and purchased some water and then gave it to Terramar. The hippogriff seapony hybrid drank his cup of water down. "We need to make that cure and fast," Silverstream sighed. "Perhaps we should split up," Smolder suggested. "Sounds good to me," Garble spoke. "I'll go with Smolder, Terry you can go with your sister." "Will do," Terramar responded. The dragons and hippogriffs split around the market to find the ingredients faster. Smolder and Garble managed to buy a few herbs. While doing this, they decided to talk a bit. "So, has anything interesting happened around here?" the older brother asked. "Aside from the ninjas?" "It's been rather uneventful," the dragoness responded. "Really? You think you could tell me how the first time go when you touched Poison Joke?" "Rather annoying to say the least. Gallus had turned invisible, Yona had turned into a pony, and Silver had lost her voice." "Sounds pretty annoying." "It was dreadful. We're stuck in our classes having to have these ill effects. Gallus and Silverstream couldn't take it and decided to take matters into their claws and went to find the ingredients." "How'd that go?" "Detention." "Thought so." Smolder sighed. "I wish I didn't bother with avoiding swimming. Why did I bother worrying about being a sea creature?" "So, that pearl does affect other creatures?" "Of course. I've seen it affect regular ponies. I haven't seen it activated on a dragon." "Then you have no idea what they become." Smolder just nodded. Then her brother thought about something. "Have you told your friends about your secret?" "Of course. My dear friend Ocellus helped me come out. In more ways than one." "What do you mean by that?" Garble's sister blushed as there might be a detail she hadn't told him until now. Meanwhile, Silverstream and Terramar were talking about pony culture after buying some liquid that was hard for them to pronounce. "I've been thinking what kind of Cutie Mark I would have? You think it would have something to do with waves and land?" "That would probably be what my mark would be like," Terramar guessed. He panted a little bit as he was feeling thirsty again. "I need another drink." His sister looked around for another stand for a beverage. There didn't seem to be one, but she couldn't let her brother be dehydrated. The hippogriff looked around until she saw some clouds flying in the air. "How about some rainwater?" Terramar was a little confused until he watched his sister fly up to bring one of the clouds over above his head. Silverstream jumped on the cloud a couple of times and made some water rain down on the hybrid creature. "You feel better now?" "Actually, yes. Thanks, sis." They two carried on with the brother seeing that his sister looked a little annoyed at something. "What's wrong? You're not usually angry." "It's just... If Smolder just went with my idea of going for a swim we wouldn't have a problem with Poison Joke. I don't see why she has an issue with our pearl shards." "Well, Aunt Novo had an issue when the princess and her friends wanted to use the pearl to save Canterlot. I'm pretty sure I'd feel weird if I was being dragged into a situation where I was going to be changed into a different species. It would be pretty shocking if that were to just happen." Silverstream thought about this for a while before she responded. "I guess you're right. I mean, I want to see what my friends would be like if they were sea creatures. I mean, Yona isn't a fan of the water, so I think this would help with her fear." "Sounds like a good idea to me. By the way, what happens to her when she gets infected by Poison Joke?" Silverstream began explaining what happened the first time she and her friends came into contact with the tricky flower. The two hippogriffs shared a laugh as they carried on shopping. After a little while, the two pairs of siblings met up with each other at the castle. Zecora arrived shortly after them, pulling a cart behind her. "Okay, how are we suppose to make a cure for all of the ponies in Ponyville?" Garble asked. "We simply take them to the spa, which won't take long," Zecora explained. "Using one of their tubs to fix what is wrong." They soon began loading ingredients into the zebra's cart. Terramar would be happy that he'd be going back to normal as he was getting dehydrated again. Silverstream gave him another glass of water, which chugged down. "So, have you guys seen your professors affected by poison joke," Garble asked. "I wish," Smolder sighed. "Gallus and Silverstream have only witnessed what our Headmare was like when she touched those plants." "It was kind of funny watching her," Silverstream admitted. She giggled as she loaded up what she and her brother had collected. Once everything was loaded, they set off to the spa. "A nice trip to the spa would be nice for all of us." "Don't forget who was sprayed by the poison joke perfume," Smolder reminded. The group walked along to the Ponyville spa. Aloe and Lotus were told about what was going on and they allowed for their tub to be used for the cure. After pouring in what they needed to make the cure. Smolder and Terramar slowly stepped into the tub and submerged themselves. After a few seconds, they emerged, back to normal. "Ah, finally," Smolder sighed with returning regular voice. Terramar checked his body to make sure he was a normal hippogriff again, which he was. "It worked," he smiled. Silverstream couldn't resist taking a dip in the hot tub. Garble just shrugged and decided to jump in as well to join them. He admittedly wasn't impressed by the heat. "Hmm, lava pools are hotter than this," he commented. "I prefer that we don't boil," Terramar spoke. The team of brothers and sisters stood in the tub before they could see something that looked like a white and purple sheepdog walk up to the pool. They were a little confused until it spoke. "Room for one more?" she asked. Judging by the accent, Smolder and Silverstream knew who it was. "Rarity?" they questioned. "Yes. I'm one of the unlucky ones who bought that perfume," Rarity explained. "However, I can see Zecora's got the cure made." "It’ll indeed make everyone fine," Zecora confirmed, "Though some will have to get, others are a starting a line." Everyone looked towards the exit of the spa to see several ponies, all with odd features on their bodies. The dragons and hippogriffs got out of the tub so the ponies could have their turn. With nothing else to do aside from looking at the various side effects they had, the brothers and sister left the spa. However, they noticed how late it was judging by the sunset. "Aw, man," Silverstream sighed. "There's not enough time left for us to hang out." "There's still tomorrow," Terramar noted. "Tomorrow's a school day," Smolder informed. The boys could hear the disappointment in the girls' voices. They slowly made their way back to the school where Smolder and Silverstream walked back into their dorm. Their brothers followed them inside and admired the room. "This isn't bad," Garble commented. "It's fine, I guess," Silverstream sighed. "Just wish we had more time we could spend together." "Yeah, this is kind of a bummer," Terramar admitted. They talked for a couple of minutes before it was time for the girls to sleep, if not they likely wouldn’t do well in their classes. Garble and Terramar walked down the hall towards the exit. Starlight had prepared a room for the dragon to stay in. “This was certainly an interesting visit,” Garble commented. “No kidding,” Terramar agreed. “It felt so weird being a hybrid.” “I could only imagine. Anyways, are you heading back home tonight?” “Pretty sure I am. General Seaspray was told to report back to Hippogriffia after exchanging information with Starlight. I don’t think my parents would be happy if I stay here without anyone I know.” “Sounds pretty hard. You think we could pull a couple of strings and make room in the castle for you.” Terramar tilted his head in confusion. “You think that’ll work?” “It’s worth a shot.” “Great. Let’s see if we can find her.” The two flew off to try and find the headmare before the young hippogriff had to go home. The next day, Silverstream and Smolder both woke up by the sound of the school bell. They both got up and slowly walked to the cafeteria. Smolder took note of the down expression of her roommate, who was still upset not being able to have that much fun with her brother yesterday. They didn’t say anything to each other while they got their breakfast and then sat with their friends. Breakfast was deafly quiet for a while until the P.A. system stitched on. ”Would Smolder and Silverstream both report to the teacher’s lounge?” Starlight requested. ”Please be sure to bring your breakfast with you.” This was a little confusing to the girls, but they complied and headed to the teachers’ lounge while carrying their trays of food. When they got there, the hippogriff was in for a surprise. Sitting beside their professors was Terramar, who waved to them. “Terry?” Silverstream questioned. “I thought you went home last night.” “I was supposed to,” the younger brother responded. However, Garble was able to convince Seaspray I could stay here to ‘recover’ from what I've been through.” “Huh, sounds like a griffon move to me,” Smolder admitted. The sisters sat down with their brothers and began chatting. “So, you're still helping with that class?” “Of course, ” Garble responded. “Plus, I'll have Terramar to assist me.” “Sure am,” the hippogriff spoke. “I can't wait to hear what Garble has to show.” “Trust me,” Smolder said, “You're gonna love it.” “You think we'll still have time to go for a swim after school?” Silverstream asked. “I've bought you guys an extra day,” Garble reminded. “Pretty sure we've got plenty of time. This made both hippogriffs smile as Smolder rubbed her arm. “Okay, I guess I could see what creature I’ll become,” the dragoness shrugged. This made both Silverstream and Terramar happy. Garble was also curious about what creature he would become if he was affected by the pearl shard. Still, they enjoyed their breakfast, excited for what the day had for them.
