Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but a heart too fond will break. Seafoam is a weatherpony for the icy northern Bay of Hippocampus, engaged to Frostbite, a devoted explorer under employ of the crown. He spends most of his days alone, patiently awaiting for his fiancé to return from whatever quest he has left on. When Frostbite returns for a long hiatus from his travels, the two finally get the time together that Seafoam sorely missed, but uncover the tensions of their relationship, as well as the forces of the world that seem determined to keep them apart.
