Kelypso stretched as she swam. She tried to do at least one good deed a day, but it felt like ages since she had last done one. She was itching to find some one who might need her help, but this part of the ocean seemed desolate, disturbingly empty. Where was she going to find a pony in need? Maybe, she thought, she should just swim for the surface. Catch some air.
Quote:
The whorl pool whipped Lorderon further and further from Solaris, sending her careening until she slammed into the side of.... something. Something green. She yelped, struggling to right herself.
Quote:
Kelypso felt the other body slam into her, knocking the air from her lungs. Stars swam in her vision, and for a brief moment, she wondered when the stars had learned to swim. She shook herself and turned to focus on the disoriented pony before her. At least she could do her good deed for the day! “Are you alright?”
Quote:
Lorderon took several deep breaths then nodded. “I think I am,” she said, trying to push her hair back from her face. It seemed bound and determined to get into her mouth. “Have you seen Solaris?” she asked, her eyelashes tangled in her mane, nearly blinding her.
Quote:
“Solaris?” Kelypso asked, head tilting.
Quote:
“Yeah, Mer, about my....” she finally freed herself from her hair and looked down. “Whoa!”
Quote:
She blinked. “Whoa? Is everything alright?”
Quote:
“Yeah, sorry, I just... wow. I got bigger. Wonder when that happened. Oh right, anyway, Solaris is a Mer like me. Um, not to be rude, but are you aware you have wings?” she asked the odd green mer before her.
Quote:
Kel laughed and nodded. “Yes, I am aware. I have wings, as do my sons. Well, two of them, at any rate.”
Quote:
“Cool. They look awesome. Is it hard to swim with them?”
