The fog lingered about the air
Limiting our sight.
Not knowing what lied beyond the ship,
Put us in a heavy plight.
I ran to the helm to check the compass,
To ensure we headed east.
Relief I felt as it pointed E,
We weren’t that lost at least.
But a problem still remained,
Sailing on “The Golden Bee.”
Without a lighthouse, or means of view,
Both without claimed more than few.
We were at the mercy of the sea.
I called upon to Endless,
Since she had the means to fly.
While the other I told to stick with me,
Referring to Cat’s Eye.
Quote I: ‘Endless fly from here,
See how far the fog might travel.
If we wish to journey safely,
This mystery we must unravel.’
With a salute, Endless took off,
Into the shrouded grey.
Meanwhile the ocean decided
To kick up some sea spray.
We waited for a while,
Till Endless did return.
Quote she: ‘I flew till I decided,
Best I should make U-turn.’
She told us she felt lucky,
To have found the ship at all.
‘Twas like flying around in circles,
Return was hard to recall.’
I thought it best, to let her rest,
Before I sent her out again.
While Cat’s Eye and I tended the ship,
Endless retired to her den.
Despite our situation,
Our ship we had to keep.
Cat’s Eye doth tended to the sails,
While I began to sweep.
After our work was finished,
We all joined in for some lunch.
Though without the sun above us,
It could very well be brunch.
I thought while I sat with my crew,
I would get to know them better.
I asked them both about their past,
Since I felt we had forever.
Endless was the first to speak,
Quite happy with herself.
Saying her life was pretty simple,
Like a book upon a shelf.
Endless Sky
‘I was born up in the clouds,
Like most other Pegasi.
Living my life carefree,
Way up in the sky.
My mother told me from very young,
What I was meant to be.
Much like the sky was endless,
I was born to be free.
I should travel across all the lands,
In our fair Equestria.
So time now past,
And then at last.
Was how I then met ya.’
Truly her life was simple,
As I let out a little chuckle.
Cat’s Eye however, was not impressed.
She just tightened her knife buckle.
Cat’s Eye
‘While I’m happy things were well for you,
Other’s lives were harder.
Much of my life spent,
Was through a very tricky barter.
Unlike most other Unicorns,
I am not from Canterlot.
My life doth started elsewhere,
Till I landed in that spot.
While things you two might take for joy,
They did not come to me.
I was fighting for my very life,
So that I too could be free.
My parents did abandon me,
Leaving me in a homeless sty.
They considered me to be quite dark,
I thought I’d get my cutie mark.
When I plucked out my cat’s eye.
The orphanage did little for me,
Except teach me tools of trade.
Though it wasn’t till I reached Canterlot,
That those tools I doth played.
From swindling, to coat picking,
To service on the side.
I did everything I could,
And swallowed all my pride.
Though it wasn’t till I passed a store,
With jewelry abound.
Of which I broke into one night,
And my talent I soon found.
For this gem upon my flank,
Did not come from a cat.
It represents my sly nature,
To take rich things within a blur
With the slightest pit-a-pat.’
Endless and I doth gulped at once,
At the story we just heard.
Then looking at each other,
We dared not say a word.
I knew Cat’s Eye was quite unique,
But I didn’t think this way.
I hoped I wouldn’t wake up,
And find on the seabed I would lay.
I skipped out on my story arc,
And instead opened the door.
Now that she had rested,
I sent Endless out once more.
She flew outside and turned to us,
And said she’d be back soon.
If only I knew time would fly,
She was gone all afternoon.
