Author's Note

This whole series is just an idea I had. I probably will not continue it if there is too much negative feedback. If there is good feedback then i will gladly continue it. If you also have a good idea for a character (must be reasonable generic with base traits) then it might get added.

Celestia's Orders (prologue)

Celestia's Orders

"Are you sure you are ready for this mission, Captain?"

Look at me. Sitting in the royal castle, and getting a direct order from the princess. Not many ponies get this sort of privilege, but I'm not here to sight see. I'm on a mission. A mission of exploration! Now what do you need for exploration? A ship. Can you guess who gets to captain that ship? That would be me.

My name is Captain Onyx Tides. That's not really my name. I forgot my name long ago, and the name I have now was more or less given from an old mare friend I once had. She just called me that because of my super dark mane, and my love for the ocean. Boy do I love the ocean. So much that I got a ship, and a crew to match. We became the greatest fishing ship Equestria had seen (it was good trade for the griffons), and now we were on a new mission.

The princess sent us west. To the unexplored waters that no thinking animal would dare tread, but who really knows what is out there. Treasure, civilization, more water, or even just wastelands. We were the few to find out.

The unknown awaits us.
