My little pony:Adventure of Seresia

“Pear Butter is my mother's name!! Rainbow Dash!!”

“Ohhhhhh~~ no wonder I always felt like I had seen her somewhere before, it turns out that was your mom!!” As Applejack excitedly explained, Rainbow Dash's mind connected the appearance of the mare she had seen earlier with the pictures of Applejack's parents, showing a sudden realization.

“Quick!! Take me to find her right now!!” Applejack rushed before Rainbow Dash, grabbing her body with her hooves and shaking her vigorously. She had never imagined she would hear her mother's name again in her life, let alone have the chance to see her again.Applejack missed her parents so much that she wouldn’t pass up any potential opportunity.

“Stop... stop shaking me!! Ouch!! Be careful of my wings!!!” Before Applejack could shake her to the point of losing her bearings, Rainbow Dash quickly swatted AppleJack's hooves away and pushed her back. But Applejack immediately came closer again, causing Rainbow Dash to step back in fright, hurriedly saying:

“I'll take you!!,gosh, just don't be so excited!! They won't sprout wings and fly away...”

Though Rainbow Dash was hurt, she was already lively and active. Twilight's worrying heart finally relaxed, gathering with everypony to care for her condition and comfort the anxiousApplejack who was eager to find her parents. Jin Yun watched everything with envy, beginning to admire the friendship and bond they shared. Reflecting on her own life, having been sent to the palace at a young age, enduring various harsh tests to join the Cavalry finally. There, she was also bestowed a new name, now known as Jin Yun Piao Piao, and met her brother Jin Yang Zhuo Zhuo, as the two ponys cared for each other until today. Aside from her older brother Jin Yang, she had no one else in the organization to talk to, let alone friends like Princess Twilight and her friends.

“I really wish I could have so many close friends too.” Jin Yun thought to herself, but could only sigh softly. She decided to turn and head to the door to look for Xiao Ling and say a few words to her. However, she found Xiao Ling standing on the deck, one paw resting on the main mast, her head raised as if she were gazing either at the sky or at the bare mast that no longer had any sails.

When Jin Yun reached Xiao Ling's side, her gentle hoofsteps had already caught Xiao Ling's attention, but she did not turn around; she merely glanced with her peripheral vision and saw that it was Jin Yun without immediately speaking. Jin Yun also did not break this moment of silence, instead joining Xiao Ling in looking up above. The half-sail rope that the sword had cut lay lifelessly on the mast, moving only slightly in the sea breeze.

“How is the situation now?” Jin Yun suddenly asked.

“The hull has a few damages, but it’s not too serious. I can go to the island and find some trees to chop down; patching it up should hold us until we can return to the fleet,” Xiao Ling responded to Jin Yun’s question and then patted the mast, which gave a solid, resonant echo in reply. It seemed that the mast did not sustain any internal damage during yesterday's storm, but if the sound of the knock echoed hollowly, that would be dangerous.

“But without the bamboo sails, even if we can eventually get back to the sea, we won’t be able to sail at all. With just the few of us, it seems unrealistic to paddle back.”

“Hmm..... it’s indeed quite difficult...” Reflecting on the fact that she had personally cut down the sails, letting them drift into the endless dark sea, Jin Yun felt a twinge of regret. She should have left a piece of rope attached to the sail, but even that wouldn’t guarantee it would survive the storm. After thinking it over, she decided that being decisive was better, to avoid complications.

“Escort Jin Yun.” At some point, a soft call awakened them; they turned around to see Twilight standing behind them. Her face no longer showed the sadness from before, but instead wore a happy smile:

“Escort Jin Yun, although I have already said this, I want to thank you again! Thank you for helping us find Rainbow Dash~ By the way, would you like to join us on the island to look for Applejak’s parents?? I think we will need your help~”

“Oh? Oh.... Of course, I am willing to serve the princess.”

Seeing that Jin Yun had agreed, Twilight was very pleased and turned to Xiao Ling: “So, will Miss Xiao Ling come with us?”

“Thank you for the princess's invitation, but the hull has leaks that need to be repaired as soon as possible. During the time the princess is seeking her family, I will stay on the ship to handle the repairs.” As Xiao Ling declined, the smile on Twilight's face became a bit awkward; she turned back to Jin Yun, seemingly seeking her opinion:

“Very well, Xiao Ling, you stay here and take care of the ship. I will accompany the princess and see if we can buy sails and some necessary supplies in town.”

“Understood.” After answering, Xiao Ling performed a fist salute to Twilight and Jin Yun, then left on her own, disappearing below the deck after opening a nearby hatch. After watching her leave, the two ponies followed Twilight back to the cabin. Finally, led by Rainbow Dash, everypony disembarked and made their way towards the small town on the island again. However, when they reentered the town, Jin Yun keenly noticed that the townspeople seemed to be deliberately avoiding them; or perhaps, avoiding her. No matter which shop she asked about selling fabric or sails, the owner's face would show a hint of surprise and then quickly shake their head to indicate they did not have any. While Jin Yun felt disappointed, she also felt a bit annoyed. However, the other ponies traveling with her seemed oblivious, so she decided to observe quietly for a while; attempting to figure out why the townspeople were so fearful about selling sails.

Leaving the town, they followed the main road into the island's dense forest. After passing through the intricate thickets and paths, they eventually reached the small cabin where Rainbow Dash had stayed before.

“Hello???? Is there a pony at home?? Miss Pear Butter??” Rainbow Dash tried to knock on the door first, but received no response. When she knocked again, the door unexpectedly opened by itself. Rainbow Dash was taken aback and turned to look at everypony, and Applejack, unable to contain herself, stepped forward, pushed past Rainbow Dash, dashed inside, and shouted:

“Mom!! Dad!! Are you there???! It’s me!! Applejack!!” Even though Applejack shouted at the top of his lungs, causing his voice to echo in the cabin, she received no reply. The other friends gathered by the door, collectively peering inside, making the already small cabin feel even more cramped.

The twilight, which reached its head, watched as Applejack anxiously searched everywhere for traces of his parents, unable to help but ask Rainbow Dash, who was standing by the door:

“Are you really sure that what you saw were Applejack's parents, Rainbow Dash?? There's not a foal around here.”

“I would guarantee on the future of my Wonderbolts that the mare's appearance was very close to the photo Applejack took out from her hat!! It just looked a bit more worn.”

“Maybe they went to the town to buy something?” Spike offered his opinion, and the other foals also found some sense in it. After a brief discussion, they decided to stay here and wait for Applejack's parents to return. However, just as everypony had just sat down and started chatting, Jin Yun suddenly jumped up, alertly looking towards the bushes not far away, while the tip of her horn lit up with magic.

“Who’s there!! Come out!!” Jin Yun's outburst startled everyone, and almost simultaneously they all turned to look at her. Seeing Jin Yang staring intently in one direction, they followed her gaze into the distance. With a rustling sound, a figure slowly emerged from the bushes. It was an otter, about the same height as Twilight and her friends. As the large otter appeared, around ten smaller, neatly dressed otter siblings gradually popped out from the bushes, surrounding them.
