That's a great start and I am definitly looking forward to more. If you can keep up this quality, I see great potential for this story.

Doing my sacred duty as an oldhead and giving this a read. Good start tbh, will be reading further, keep it up! The tooth thing was a nice touch.

I'm sold, I will definitely keep an eye on this little gem.

Those poor ponies. She’s a mean captain.

I wonder if the water-thing was the colt’s magic or ‘the patron’ the captain mentioned.

Did the colt ‘awaken knowledge’ of his past self or did he appear as is in the wake of the incident in the water? I’m wondering if Blueblood’s mission to Haywaii was to fetch the colt -who he might now despair as lost- or if he will become a redemptive beacon for his other failures and losses on this expedition.

Good start! 👍👍

Thank you for your kind words, I'll do my best!

Yeah, one thing I've observed in stories like this is that almost no one ever mentions the teeth, which is odd to me, since the entire mouth structure is quite different. Hopefully I don't disappoint!

May they find peace in the Summerlands. That is true. Riptide is a meanie (probably the nicest thing that can be said about her, honestly). To her enemies/victims at least. Jury is still out on if she treats her crew better. She probably does, otherwise they wouldn’t follow her. Hope you're prepared for her to do more bad things !

That'd be telling . All I'll say at this point is, like with almost all stories, there's more going on here than meets the eye.

First chapter, and already theorycrafting? This is a good day!

Thank you all! I'll do my best to keep it up, next chapter is basically written, but I want to go over it a few (dozen) more times before I send it off into the world.

Mmm, good start, interesting beginning. It's shaping up to be an adventure story to follow.

I look forward to seeing your journey.

Good start, lets see where it goes.

Very intense opening Cold! Who is this strange human turned Alicorn? Definitely going to return the follow.

You ain't seen nothing yet I hope you liked Riptide doing bad things, because that's not stopping soon.

Like I said earlier, that'd be telling I will say it's a twist I've not seen more than a handful of times

Much appreciated!

Bro, what is that thing?

12170234
A villain character of Power Rangers, probably.

I'm pretty sure that's a Vorlon from Babylon 5.

12170476
No, that's ambassador Kosh. He is a Vorlone from the old sci-fi series Babylon 5.

12170497
Well at least I got the species right.

You know, I really wasn't sure who it might be about, but it's a good thing that that Internet principle or law about “if you want to know something, say the wrong thing on the Internet and hope someone wants to correct you” still applies hahaha.

Interesting story, can't wait to see how it continues.

"The beatings will continue until morale improves." Comes to mind...

Indeed!

Surprisingly, I like Captain Riptide. A Cool, even if cruel character.

12186652
Yeah, she's a favorite of mine too. Can't wait to show more of her, later on.

I mean! She's evil! Vile! A bad guy! The worst! She shouldn't be likeable! But darn if she doesn't have presence.
