The Shrouded Ghost is a legendary beast that stalks the Sea of Thieves. Very few claim to have ever seen the ancient megalodon, and none claim to have slain it. Twilight and Pinkie intend to be the first.

Apparently, somepony forgot to tell them that it isn't real.

I can safely say I was never expecting a Sea of Thieves crossover, but I'm here for it lol

“Should we be worried about the kraken?”

Of course you don't need to be worried, not while there's a world event active!

“What should I do?”

You should be fishing for Stormfish, sillies!!

“Does a cutlass count as metal?” Twilight opens her mouth to speak, but is interrupted by a massive booming sound coming from the sky followed by a crackling from somewhere above deck. She briefly hears the faint sound of a fire, followed by the sizzle of said fire being extinguished by the rain. Moments later, Pinkie stumbles down the steps, her mane and coat soot-black and frazzled. “Never mind.”

Hey, hey, that just means you can get white lantern light for your boat, don't hate :P

“...Did you not only somehow catch, but also burn thirteen Trophy Shadow Stormfish?”

Somehow, Pinkie both knows how to make me happy and unbelievably mad at the same time. This tracks.

As cannon fire drowns out all other sounds, a grin makes its way to Twilight’s face. This is what the Sea of Thieves is all about.

True enough!

“That’s alright.” Twilight holds out her hoof, upon which she holds two mangoes. “Here. You’re better at combat than I am.”

Actually me!

“...I hate this stupid game.”

And that's how you truly end a session!

I uh, never do the whole, comment on a story moment by moment, but as someone who has *also* sank 1000+ hours into the game, I figured I'd give some due diligence. This definitely put a smile on my face! Who knows, maybe I'll run into you on the seas someday, Runic :D

Either way, it's definitely easy to tell when a story like this is written by someone who's spent a good amount of time with something, so I really appreciate the specific jargon, myself. I don't really ever get the opportunity to relate, since most crossovers that go this deep I haven't the slightest idea of the property, but finally being able to share in the mirth was a great feeling. This was a nice deviation from the usual, but *as* usual, this was a great addition to my night!

“Pinkie, quick! That’s a 4/4 string ostinato in D minor! Every sailor knows that means death! Raise the sails!”

Good point. :derpytongue2:

Does Sea of Thieves have any good fanfiction made about it?

Wouldn't know! The story of the game is pretty cool, but it's also an ongoing live service game where the main draw for most people is the social interaction.

This is actually the first fanfic for sea of thieves I've read, personally! But I can only assume that it has several like most properties.

“Pinkie, quick! That’s a 4/4 string ostinato in D minor! Every sailor knows that means death! Raise the sails!”

Nice SpongeBob reference! On top of that, I can relate to everything in this as a fellow Sea of Thieves player. The moment when I read the four gold Reaper skelies, I instantly said they had no life XD.

Before I depart, I leave you the wise word of Captain Falcore about the Shrouded Ghost. “LIES!”

Oof, this one is waaaaaaaay too relatable
