The Last Alicorn
Finding Silverstream
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI get up early in the morning and start putting on my diving armor. Once I have pulled the flippers over my hooves, I leap off the cliff and plunge into the water. I swim for many miles until I get to a dark area. Lighting my crystal lantern, I continue swimming through the darkness until I reach an opening in the floor of a cavern. I climb out of the water and begin searching this chamber for Silverstream. I notice a faint line of what looks like paint on the floor and follow it to what seems to be a large room. Inside is a gantry platform that overlooks the center. I climb a nearby ladder and look down from the gantry. Down below is Silverstream's stasis setup. Upon seeing how Silverstream is sealed, I choke in disgust and stumble backwards. She is suspended in a huge glob of changeling slime that is held in midair by a force field.
I climb down and make my way to the controls for the force field. There seems to be a password that is required to unlock the control panel, but I do not know what it is. Then a light starts flashing nearby. I notice a chart on the wall and grab it. After studying the way the light blinks, I figure out that the password is being given to me in something called "Morse Code". After taking note of the sequence of short and long flashes, I examine the chart and decipher what the password is.
The password is as follows. . - - - - (1) . - (A) - - - - . (9) . - - . (P) . . . (S) . . - . (F) - - . . . (7) . . . . . (5) - - . - (Q) . . . - - (3) "1A9PSF75Q3"
I type this code into the controls and they become unlocked. I select the command to drop the force field and the glob of slime splashes to the floor. I am splattered with the slime and some gets in my mouth. I spit it out and then run over to Silverstream. She is coughing heavily due to having the wind knocked out of her, but she recovers in a flash.
"At last, you've come. I was not sure if it was too late when you were taken to that cave in the Crystal Mountains.", she says in a relieved tone.
"Smolder is the last one I need to wake up. The others are in the stronghold near Canterlot."
Silverstream thanks me for letting her know where to go and we swim to an uninhabited area where we can surface without being seen. We part ways and I start flying towards the Dragon Lands to find Smolder and wake her up.
