Samudra's Journal

Entry 62: 20 years later...

It’s been near twenty years since the last queen made an incursion onto land and … well the good news, we’ve seen other kelpie queens and the changeling alliance hasn’t seen any kelpie activity on land.

The issue is that there have been a greater number of skirmishes between the kelpies and companies of the Aquestrian Army. Now, normally I would welcome this, but these kelpies… these more recent ones are far stronger than the average seaponies and deep ponies. Their armor is now thick enough so that it can fend off glancing blows from the spears we use. They also seem to be able to set up ambushes for our troops.

It’s gotten to the point that some of my highest level commanders, who are privy to the secret that seaponies and deep ponies give birth to kelpies, are musing whether to let some of the kelpie young we normally cull to grow, to get a better idea of what their abilities are.

I find this idea repulsive. Killing babies who… who don’t know any better is one thing, but raising them and then slaughtering them?

However, I… I may have little choice. If I am to learn more about my enemy, I have to figure out what my enemy is capable of, before fighting. I… I will contemplate this further.

I wonder if this is the begging of the line of thinking that led to Samudra's son being a Kelpie.
