>There was a time when our kind weren't so lucky; Peace was a luxury.
>The wealthy and the isolated had little to fear.. but the rest of us..?
The Dracturem. A large and ancient turtle-like species. Its tail long and spiny, its fins ending is gruesome ugly spikes. It bares semblance to the creatures of the land known as dragons.
>We know not where these creatures came from, as far back as our history goes they have been there.
>They hate us, they will devour our kind any chance they get. A barbaric race..friends to no one.
>It wasn't until our savior, [name pending] the Tiger-Sharkpone, the last of her kind drove the Dracturem to near extinction that our kind finally knew the meaning of harmony. She was a fierce being, why she chose to spare the lives of our kind and others is unknown to us.
...
>It has been quite some time since those days, the Jellyfish Ponies and Lobster Ponies live in peace together. Territories are growing.
>Our leader grows old though, her power weakens.We fear for what we will do upon her passing.
After all, some Dracturem fled. We might not know what became of them but they could still be out there..waiting.
Our kind must make advances and continue to form potential alliances if we wish to survive in this dangerous world.

=New friends?...=
>A rare subspecies of Jellypones known as Turritrots, more commonly referred to as Scarlet Jellypones.
>We thought they were mere myth; No living pony had ever actually seen one.
>They are smaller than your average Jellyfish Pony, they appear to be immortal, and with the ability to rejuvenate.
>We don't know their origins. They only recently started to appear among us from lands far away.. we aren't even sure if they are friend or foe; They hide their history, their purpose, everything but mundane information.
>They could be the answer though. If they truly have these powers as they claim.. maybe..just maybe they could protect us.

=Unrest in the wild=
>The Lobster Ponies have been hard at work recently.
>Not only have they had to deal with our own recent events, the strange return of a few Scarlet Ponies
>But also a large influx in dangers in the wild.
>Many species of crab have been oddly violent lately keeping the protectors busy.
>I wonder what is causing it...

>Our leader, Shere the Tiger-Shark Pony had a request of audience by the leader of the Lobster Pony Guard.
>She has yet to make any form of announcement as to what was so important. They never meet like this..
>Shere left immediately afterwards, actually. I wonder if it has anything to do with the recent events in the wild?
The events with the crabs hasn't resided. It has only escalated actually. Yesterday there was claims of a turtle sighting.
>That can't be right.. A treaty was reached with the existing species of turtles after the war. This isn't their territory. The closest turtle city is days from here..
>I hope she comes back soon.
 
Later
>Shere returned. It was what we feared, she was indeed investigating the resent issues and claims.
>No turtle has been found and word has yet to be received from their capital.
>Word is spreading around town; Fears of a Dracturem's return. Even one is a threat..especially now.
>Shere isn't the warrior she once was. She's still a capable protector and ruler, but untouchable? Not even close.
>A second war could be on the horizon. Victory unsure..

=The Scarlet Sisters=
>The two Turritrots that appeared recently have started to speak more openly.
>Sisters; The eldest Carmine and the youngest Cerise.
>They came from the far away city of Plot Royal. Their kind's carelessness has dwindled their numbers.
>A Scarlet Pony while technically immortal and with the ability to heal CAN still die. Most commonly from injuries too sever to heal at a quick enough rate.
>Why they've come here they still will not say. I wonder if they know themselves.
>They offer their help though and they desire even further peace than that we've made with the Lobster Ponies.
Harmony. They want harmony.
>Sometimes dark measures must be taken to achieve such a thing though. If we truly want to live in a united world..enemies must be forced out.
 
>The two sisters have since been teaching our kind, the Jellyfish Ponies to utilize our abilities. We are practically the same after all.
>With the right focus we can weaponize our tentacles. Some of us can inflict great pain, while others completely immobilize or poison.
If our worst fears come to be true, there is hope now.
