Ponyville (Kronos P.O.V)
"Hey Scootaloo!" I yelled up the stairs, hoping to get the orange filly downstairs. "One sec!" She hollered back. A moment later, she trotted down the stairs. "Yeah?" I gave her a knowing smile. "I want to show you somthing really awesome that I haven't shown anypony else." She thought for a moment, then smiled. "Then lets go!" I picked up a bag of bits. "Alright, but first we need to go to Zecora's to pick somthing up."
I knocked on the door to Zecora's hut, waiting for it to open. She opened the door a moment later. "Ah Kronos, I think I know what brings you here. AN odd request, of that it is quite clear." She put two potions in a bag, and gave it to me. I handed her the bag of bits. "Thank you Zecora." I said as I set the bag on my back, secure. "Many thanks for kindly paying, are you sure that you can't be staying?" I gave another smile. "Sorry, but i got to head off. Thank you for the potions." Before I could close the door though, she stopped me and grabbed a book behind her. "Here is a little gift from me to you. It has a spell like the potions on page 102." I lokked at the book, and smiled. "Thank you Zecora, now we have to be off. Later!"
Sometime later In the Everfree forest (Konos P.O.V)
"Are we there yet?" asked Scootaloo. "Just a little farther I think." Which way is it again? Man, that fanfic didn't do a good job of describing the location. I thought before somthing caught my eye. "Hey Scoots! I think I found it!"
"Really!? Thats awesome! Where is it?" I chuckled. Gotta love that enthusiasm. "It's right over here, behind the bushes. Trust me, your gonna love this." I moved the bushes with a spell I learned. Behind them was a clearing and a lake, practically glowing with somting under the water. It's suface was a blue-tinged mirror, showing the midday sky.
I looked at scootaloo, who was staring at the lake surface in awe. She started walking towards it. "It's...It's beutiful. I've never seen anything like it." We walked to the waters edge, and she looked inside. Scootaloo then asked, "Whats glowing under the water?" I reached to my bag and replied, "The things glowing are some crystals under the water. Also, do you want to get a closer look by any chance?" She looked at me like I was crazy.
"Get a closer look? They're underwater! It's not like were seaponies, which dont even exist!" I smirked, pulling the cloudy white potions that Zecora gave me out of the bag. "Remember the potions I got? Breathing underwater is a surprisingly easy potion to make. And who ever said anything about seaponies not existing?" The orange fillie's eyes lit up and widened, a grin spreading, almost litaraly reaching from ear to ear. "Thats what you got? Thats awesome! Can I see one?"
"Why do you think I got two?" I reach it out to her, who grabbed it and chugged. She gave a small burp, then chuckled as I did the same, burp included. "Hm, tastes like raspberries. Well, why don't we try this out? CANNON BALL!" I exclaim as I jum into the water, hitting the sand below me with a muffled 'Thud'. Scootaloo followed quickly, luckily stopping before hitting the ground. "So we can breath now? Wait, of course we can! How would I be talking?" She says, before giggling. There was a humming coming fom the crystals,
"This is so cool! I can't wait to brag about this to everyone at scho-mrmph!" I stop her when I put my hoof over her mouth. "Hold on Scoots. You probably shouldn't tell anypony about this. Why don't we keep this as our spot? That way we can enjoy as much as we want, and not ruin it with tourists. Plus, if I can remember correctly, there should be another little surprise here. But since the potion lasts a good while, why don't we enjoy this view a litle bit?" She nods, and I remove my hoof. We stare at the crystals glowing a greenish blue, a bit brighter than the water, when I sudenly open my eyes wide, remembering somthing important about the 'little surprise'.
"Don't worry Kronos!" I heard a voice behind me say. I turned around and saw Pinkie Pie randomly under water. "This is only a T rated fanfiction, so That won't happen! That's from an M rated fanfic, so no worries!" Then before I could reply, she walked behind a rock and disappeard using her powers over the 4th wall. "Ok?" Luckily Scootaloo didn't notice Pinkie, so I don't have to explain what a fanfic is. She did get up a moment later though.
"Hey Kronos? Where's that other thing you were talking about?" I thought for a moment. "Oh, that surprise? Sure, why don't we go check it out now? Lets hope they're better behaved than in the fanfi- I mean story!" I switched words, hoping that she didn't catch the 'fanfic' part. She still asked a question though. "What story did you get this from?" Thankfully, I was prepared for this type of question. "I got it from a story My parents read to me when i was a little colt. I can't remember the title though, It was lost in my memories." She frowned for a second, but got her smile back when she asked, "If you remember it enough, can you tell me the story some time?" I smiled back. "Sure."
We kept talking until we hit some ruins. "I don't think this is how the story went. Lets check inside though. Maybe we'll find somthing. I looked around a bit, and found a hole in the ground. I swam through with Scootaloo tailing, to find the the hole hooked and came to an underwater cave. I jumped out, once again breathing normal air. I looked over and saw another hole filled with water, and somthing moving around inside. Bingo. "Hey Scoots! Are you sure seaponies don't exist?" She walked closer and looked at what I was talking about. "What are you talking abou...HOLY Celestia! Are... are those seaponies!? I thought they were a fairytail!" I smiled as the seaponies saw us, then pulled back in surprise.
In that moment of panic, I sat down and asked, "Hello? Can you hear or understand me?" One came forward. "Hello? I havn't seen a male in so long, are you one of those ponyfolks? She pulled herself out of the water, and I remembered something. Thy weren't seaponies, they were mermaids. Thankfully, rather than stark naked like in the fanfic, these mermaids had tops made out of seaweed. Scootaloo had a questioning look on her face though. "These aren't merponies. What are these?"
"Scoots, these are mermaids. And something tells me that your name is Aris, is that correct?" I say as I look at the mermaid, who seemed surprised. "Yes it is, now what is yours?" I looked at the 8 mermaids behind her. "My name is Kronos. And somthing else tells me that you need help, because you're stuck. Am I right?" She looked surprised, and Scootaloo was trying to hold in a laugh.
"Yes, you are right again. We are stuck in this hole, and suspended from the outside ocean. Can you help us?" I smiled fully prepared to help and try out a new spell I've been working on. I concentrated, and started lifting up bubbles of water, each on filled with a mermaid. I moved each to the other waterfilled hole that led to the outside world. Once I wa finished, Aris pulled out a little bag filled with something.
"Thank you Kronos. We shall see what is left of our kingdom. And this is a little somthing for your trouble. It would help you more than it would I." She handed me a small pouch, made a sort of leathery cloth. I smiled, but she continued with somthing I did not want to hear. "You know, we have another problem with our population and-" I stopped her by saying, "No, sorry, but we have to get going. It's getting late, and we need to be home. Goodbye!" I then grabbed Scootaloo and teleported away, to home.
"About time you got back! It's almost 10 o'clock!" I hear Twilight say as I walked into the tree, somwhat tired from my recent magic usage. Scoots followed in after. "Hey Twilight. Sorry, but I wanted to show Scootaloo somthing. Oh, and Scoots?" She looked at me. "Do you know whats next week?" She looked at me with a questioning look. "Don't tell me that you forgot about Nightmare Night!" A look of realization struck her, and she ran to her room saying somthing about planning. I followed her, but to head to my room. "Hey, I'm not finished with you! We'll talk about this tomorow!" I just get ready fall asleep, throwing my stuff beside my bed thinking about the gift I got, realizing that I haven't looked at it yet.
I open the pouch and look inside to see a small gem, more blue than the ocean, with a teal cloud swirling inside of it. I'll ask Twilight about it later. I think before faling into a peacefull dream.
