He had swum for days on end to get here. Etoile' de Soir,who usually just went by Soir for short, had to know the truth. His grandmother, Nuit Soir, had just related to him the truth of why certain members of his family were cursed with the strange silver star-shaped birthmarks near their tail.
Long ago, longer now than it seems..in a place I've only seen in my dreams....your great, great great grandfather left the school of his birth. He was filled with an odd, definately un-Merpony-like wanderlust. He ventured far and wide, yet this lust did not cease. Not until he wandered near the shores on an land called Xanadia where he met a beautiful Earth pony. Le Coeur del Mer, for that was his name, fell in love with this Earth pony and longed to live with her near the shores of Xanadia. But it could not be..for she was mated to a cruel male named Silver Moonbeam, who was sailing on his ship The Painted Lady and due to return any time at all. But still..they carried on their affair and the Earther became pregnant with Coeur's child. It was during her pregnancy that Coeur returned to his family and told them of his great love for this Earther. The elders scolded and berated him, telling him it would never work out. And it was likewise for the Earther, who tried to share her joyous news with her own family. No doubt she was told that that Mers like us were scums of the ocean and not to be trusted. This is something I've often heard that Earthers say about us. Coeur realized they could never be together and was despondent, but longed to see his beloved Earther just once more. By the time he arrived back at Xanadia, she had given birth to twins..a boy and a girl. The girl looked exactly like her mother, Earther to the core. But the boy..he looked more Mer and so because of that, he was given to his father to take back to his Mer family. The Earther swore she would never forget him and they were together one last time. They never saw each other after that, but the Earther did leave a legacy within the Mer community. Every now and again..there will be a strange, silver star-shaped marking upon one of our kin. It is the only gift the Earther could give to her beloved..a symbol that reminded him of her. It appeared first on Sol de Mer, the son of Coeur and the Earther....
The story ricchocheted inside his skull, like pebbles bouncing madly in the current. He was related to Earthers? It was nearly impossible to believe..but what else could explain this odd mark upon his body? Soir was determined to find out.
