The Legend of the Fourth Pony Tribe

Worst day EVER. And yet, I made a brand new friend that day. So it might be better than Coral makes it out to be. It might.

Anyway, Coral and I were going surfing. Coral is a red hippocampus with royal blue streaks in her mane. Her tail shone like a red coral in the sun, which is why she's called Coral. I'm aqua with a royal blue and deep purple mane.

Surfing is not for the weak hippocampi. It takes extreme balance and speed, and I'm the best in Saddlantis. That's why I'm called Wave Rider. Nopony can beat me.

We saw a monster wave coming up ahead. Coral and I swam up to where the end would be when it got there, and waited. The wave roared like a sea serpent(and yes, those exist). I braced myself as it got ever closer...

"NOW!!!" Coral shouted, and I dived into the wave.

When you're surfing, you have about a half-second to get moving otherwise you wipe out. You have to have killer reactions to do it. I swam along the inside of the wave, waiting for the right moment to...

"JUMP!" Coral yells, since she's ahead of me. I leap sideways and come out of the wave. I turn my body vertical and balance with my fins skimming the water. I hold out my flippers for balance as I shoot through the tunnel of water. It was beautiful.

I started sinking, and dived into the water, but it was too early. I got battered against the rocks with no mercy from the thundering wave, until I saw a cave that would protect me until the wave died down. I swam with all my might and finally ducked inside.

Mistake. There were powerful currents pulling from the cave, and I got sucked in. There was no escape. It was an underwater black hole. It battered and bruised me until I banged my head really hard on a big rock, and everything blacked out.
