"...All upon a Saturday night!" A happy little mare giggled aloud as she drew in muck that was the swamp. She laid on her belly, her head resting on one hoof while the other tried in vain to make lasting pictures in the ground. As weird as this sight might have been to any around, that was not the weirdest thing, no. As she was also half laying in one of the pools of swamp water, her back half disappear under its ripples.
Her general look was odd as well. Her coat was a soft yellowing-green, and did not appear to be a pelt but instead resembled scales better. As with her hair, which did not look like normal hair. It hung about her face in long think green clumps, and almost looked like a form of grass. Then her eyes, they were not normal pony eyes. No, those two Turquoise orbs would remind one more of something seen on a fish.
But, all oddities side, the mare appeared to be having quite a good time. Her back end splashing playfully in the deeper water, while she redrew her picture over and over, never letting it mucky floor deter her from her game. She would even stop to wave and greet random Cult ponies that passed her, after all, she was hanging out in their home.

Wildfire landed in the pool of water with a heavy splash as if she had fallen out of the sky, which in all honesty, she might as well have. She had been run hard, and was finally getting a chance to relax. She resurfaced and shook her mane out of her face, her smile turning to a look of shock as she realized she had landed on, or very nearly landed on somepony. She waded over to the other pony, considering herself lucky she dived into what was basically a puddle. "OH MY GOSH, are...are you alright? Sorry about that, needed to cool off." She glanced over the pony, a mare, and noticed something was very...off about this mare. Her fur looked more like scales and further down... "You! You're a seapony!" Wildfire was in disarray, she had never seen a seapony before, let alone one with...tentacles instead of legs. Or a tail. She didn't really know a lot about the seaponies. "But...what are you doing here? In a swamp? Surrounded by..." She glanced around, "You DO know who theseponies are don't you?"

A sudden howl of wind signaled the arrival of a grey pelted unicorn with a white mane and tail. He was walking through the bod that was protected by the Cult of Eclipse, enjoying a time to relax. As he walked any dead leaves and twigs swirled around him as if the pony was in the center of a small tornado. He then stopped and saw two ponies. One was a pegasus, yet there was something strange about her one wing and leg. The other was laying down with her body in a pool. As he appooaced, the pony in the pool looked strange, almost fish-like.
Wind Storm knew he'd find out soon enough who or what these ponies were. "Hey, is this a private party, or can I join?"

Fishstick let out a high pitched yelp of surprise as the Pegasus fell into the water behind her, causing her to fell under the water as well. She slowly resurfaced along with Wildfire, blinking at her unsure for a second or two before confirming that, yes, this was a new pony to her. She smiled wide as the crashed Pegasus realized what she was, "Yep! Shoo be doo!" she giggled as the other mare continued on. Fishstick giggled again and nodded, "Of course I do, silly! Well, most of them, some of them. Not all of them come over and talk, and I heard a lot more have been coming in lately, too! And I guess that would make you one of them!" The Seapony would then embrace Wildfire in a friendly hug while introducing myself, "Hi! I'm Fishstick! Who are you? Whoareyou??" she asked eagerly, not releasing the hug.
Upon hearing another new voice, Fishstick looked over to see the grey Unicorn, still smiling, "Of course! Come on in!" she giggled while still hugging Wildfire.

Wildfire tried to back out of the hug, only to find herself in a vicegrip, glad she was in armor or she would probably be struggling for breath. "My names Wildfire... I had no idea the cult had seapony members." She craned her neck to look over her shoulder as the other pegasi landed. "Popular little spot today, isn't it?"

"In deed it is popular," the unicorn said as he approached the other ponies. He felt better at ease knowing that the others were of the same so-called Cult of Eclipse that he joined. "My name is Wind Storm. I recently joined this group."

"Hello, Wind Storm!" The Seapony chirped at the Unicorn, "I'm Fishstick! This is Wildfire!" she said as she turned her attention back to the Pegasus, giving her a nuzzle, "And not 'Seapony members', just 'member'. Just me. Only I came over. But that's okay! Because I get to meet you all you new ponies!" Fishstick giggled and continued to nuzzle Wildfire while still hugging her.

Wildfire once again attempted to pry the seapony off of her, almost wishing she was back in training. "I uh...I don't want to sound rude, but could you let go? I don't like being touched." She said as she grimaced, glancing over to the other pgasi. The cult seemed to be doing a lot of recruitment, considering its location was well out of the way. She wondered just how many of them had been found and rescued, only there to repay a debt, or a sense of duty. Was the cult compromised of the injured fools that wondered into the bog or Everfree? She shook the thoughts from her mind as she glanced back at Fishstick, "It's nothing personal, I just don't like other ponies touching me...puts me on edge."

"I'll keep in mind the no touching part," Wind Storm said, "although you seem like a friendly pony Wildfire so I can't see why you would be opposed to a hug. Anyway, I'm trying to meet as many ponies as I can in this ... group. So, what brings you all here? It's not like this is the ideal vacation spot."

Fishstick blinked at Wildfire in surprise. A pony that didn't like hugs? Maybe she just needed to be warmed up to the idea, but Seapony decided to let her have it her way for now and untangled herself from the Pegasus. She disappeared under the water for a few seconds, resurfacing on the other wild of Wildfire. "How can you been on edge if you're swimming?"
She turned to face Wind Storm, "Why not? This is a great vacation spot! Lots of strange ponies! Lots of little critters swimming around in the..." she paused to think for a moment, trying to remember the word, her face lighting up once it came to her, "Bog! Lots and lots of frogs. They're strange little things." She then pointed a hoof at Wind storm, her mind already switching tracks, "Do you like hugs?"

Wildfire let out sigh of relief as Fishstick backed off, leaning into the muddy wall of the small pond. "I'm not on edge, I just don't like being touched." She leaned back and tried to enjoy the cool water as she listened to the conversation between the other two ponies. She nodded in agreement as the seapony said a lot of ponies in the bog were wierd,wondering if she was in that group. She DID look a bit wierd, and was probably acting strangely but she didnt care. She just wanted to cool off, wash her mane and go take care of business, business being whatever crazy training excersize Percheron could think up for her. She chuckled as Fishstick asked Windstorm about hugs, "Careful, shes got a vicegrip. Felt it through my armor."

"Heh..." Windstorm said to Fistick, "so you think I'm a strange pony, eh? Well, I guess I may not look strange but there are other traits I have that other ponies might think of as strange. As for the bog, it is a nice place, however I have heard about how some creatures could be a little nasty some even wanting to make a pony into a meal. And yes, Fishstick, you can hug me. Just try not to break any of my bones or suffocate me, ok?"

Fishstick nodded, "Yep! You're all strange and strange looking ponies to me! I mean, how do you swim without a proper tail?" she asked, giving a small shrug. "And if you want a hug, you need to come in the water, too. I can't give good hugs on land. I still give hugs, just not good ones. And I would never hurt a pony on purpose!" she said with a smile while swimming around, backwards, in a little circle next to Wildfire.

Wildfire Flinched when Windstorm mentioned animals eating ponies. Her mind flashed back to the salamander in the Everfree for a moment, her wing and hindleg stumps burning under the prosthetics. She almost wanted to scream and fly away, but held herself still. She shook the thoughts away, calming the restless sea that was her mind and let out a sigh. pulling herself back to the conversation at hoof. "Yea...theres dangerous creatures around here all right. Just be careful and stay in camp at night and you should be fine."

Mentioning the creatures of the bog seemed to have touched a nerve within Wildfire. Wind Storm wondered if it had something to do with why her one wing and leg were different. But he knew not to pry, especially a disability. "Thanks for the warning, Wildfire. I'll be sure to stay within the camp at night." He then walked into the pool upon Fishstick's request, not knowing exactly what to expect from the sea pony.
