He knows, he was just new to the griffin colonists having bomber planes. But nevermind that.

“Huh. Who knew lamias had magic.” He continues running along the lamia’s side. “What’s this Ouroboros?”

Shoal Water:
“Heh, well, yes, I’ve heard of the myths of Equestria. Like how our native griffins have their ‘Dreaming,’ and we have the reality of taxes and Governor Blight. Every nation needs its legends, I suppose.”

He isn’t talking about personally killing them so much as what happens to ponies who are not in compliance but… eh…

Father:
“That is true. We should look. We need to tell the inspector what they are doing.”

Other Stallion:
“I hope it’s natural. That would give us a story to distract the inspector with.”

Father: “If there’s a toxic gas.. or some kind of bacteria… we could be exposed to it.”

If he's rubbing down the side of Kira's body, he feels first her reasonably soft yellow fur covering a surprisingly strong, muscular core, before it transitions rather quickly to smooth, shiny, golden yellow scales that cover her tail.

Kira: "He's...well, I'm not sure how much sense it would make to ponies. Rosey put this mark on my tail like one of your cutie marks that's in the shape of an Ouroboros, but it's not *the* Ouroboros. He's a giant lamia. Like, really giant. Or at least He will be, He hasn't hatched yet. Our myths say that the Sun is an egg that contains the god Ouroboros, God of the Sun, Hunger, and Rebirth, and when it's time for the end of the world, the Sun will break apart and He'll begin eating the whole universe. The stars, the sky, the Moon, even the world itself! When he's eaten everything in the universe, He'll still be so hungry that He'll eat his own tail, but I mean how can you eat your own tail? You really can't. So, anyways, He tries to eat His own tail, but He can't, and before He can manage to do so He'll explode!" Kira spreads her arms out and makes an explosion sound with her mouth for an enhanced effect. "He'll split apart into a million billion pieces! His scales will spread out across the universe and become new stars, the exploded parts of His body will come together and become a new world and the Moon, and He'll leave behind a glowing golden egg that will become a brand new Ouroboros, and the cycle of the world will start all over again. I know it's not the same idea as what the actual Ouroboros symbol actually represents, I don't know how the two got so different. I don't even really know for certain if Ouroboros is real or if He's just some story some lamia made up to tell their lamialings long ago. I haven't seen any evidence to say He isn't real, though."

Silver chuckles and shakes his head at Shoal.

Silver: "Myths and legends they might be, but true they are nevertheless. If only one pony culture had tales of Windigoes, it would be easier to dismiss. But when almost every pony culture that originated from back then has same or similar tales about these creatures? Then it might be time to consider that perhaps there is at least nugget of truth to it all. Though, true or not, they are still banished from this world. If they were not, then surely we would have all frozen to death by now, what with as much hatred and suffering there has been in past few years."

Free Rover takes his hoof, and ruffles Kira’s mane
“You silly tribals with your stories. It’s adorable. You’re like an exotic monster and a tribal all in one.”

Shoal Water:
“Well, really just the one culture, since they are all the Equestrian confederacy, but sure. Anyways, I doubt you’ll be seeing any.”

Amber, Father, and Jakala move along. Going forward, Amber can see that they are on the edge of what was likely a lake or bog. The glow originates from somewhere within, but between them is peat, mud, broken, mud-covered logs, and occasional water covered in a thin layer of water. Clearly much mud, water, and peat has been displaced and scattered, as the level of the ice in the depression is many feet below the forest. It’s a slide down the mud and further into the depression. The glow seems to be coming from a part of the depression that is even lower, and further away, close the forest edge.

Kira's mane is rubbed, pet really, but she scrunches at Rover's reply. "What does that mean?"

Silver: "That is true, at least. There are more present things to be concerned with at moment, but it is good to at least keep it in mind for future. Like pony-eating sea life."

Father speaks
“Yes, we’re very near where it exploded. When it did, it made a fireball that leveled the forest and melted the water. There must have been fragments that hit the ground. Maybe one is near here.”

The ponies go in further, and Amber gets a better view of the glow. It’s yellow and orange like a fire, although it’s consistent in its luminance, though of course as Amber gets nearer it appears brighter. There’s an unambiguous bad smell, probably rotting plants, but Amber cannot be sure. The ground varies between muddy, solid peat and tree trunks, and ice.

Amber has a kind of headache, and the sound intensifies. It’s a constant crackling sound, not unlike static on a radio, but appropriately, like the sound of the myriad cracks and pops of wood in a fire.

Father:
“Should we really be going to see this right now? There will be more light tomorrow afternoon. When these ponies aren’t here…”

>>178441
Free Rover continues petting her:

“Have you ever seen a manticore? Well, maybe you haven’t. But like a big cat. How strong they are. Slender. Strong. Gorgeous. You can see the same in snakes. Especially the large ones, I think. And as for tribals, well, I mean foreigners and non ponies. They have their own myths and rituals. Their own art. And in general, a real exotic quality.”

Shoal Water:
“Yes. The leviathans can jump much higher out of the water than you’d think, and the Sea Serpents and Krakens can reach further from the edge if the water.”

The answer seems to satisfy Kira, as she smiles from the pets yet again. "I've heard the Sun is raised and lowered by some sort of princess over here. That sounds neat."

Silver: "If we're lucky, maybe any Stalliongrader ships or patrols will have troubles with them."

Well, there's a lamia right there.

Silver: "Celestia's younger sister, Princess of Moon, Watcher of Dreams. She was trapped as Mare in Moon for thousand years after turning into Nightmare Moon and trying to make night last forever and being banished by Celestia using Elements of Harmony."

The excited look on Kira's face suggests she's very interested in hearing about Equestria's history and myths.

“How could you have?” He answers

Oh, but she did. She absolutely did.

If Kira hasn’t noticed, every single pony she has encountered in Equestria has either been afraid of her, or at the bare minimum, simply acquiesced in her physical superiority over them - that she is bigger, and the best they could hope for is to not be harmed. Free Rover was not like that. He dared to grab her and pick her up. So that is what he tried just now. He didn’t just fail because it was a doomed enterprise. He failed magnificently. And then Kira reinforced that she is in fact the bigger and stronger by picking him up. There’s the additional added element of sex, where males are supposed to be stronger, or to be a little more precise, only a strong male is considered desirable by a female as a romantic partner, that makes the situation worse. He remains standing there mostly to save face and pretend like he hasn’t already lost, but he has and he knows it, and he’ll leave soon.

Kira bends down, and hugs the poor pony. Rover might be afraid for a moment that she's going to yoink him again, but the fears are abated as she uses her legs to give him a genuine, normal pony-style hug. "I'm sorry Rover. I was just playing around with you, like you were with me. You know you're a big, strong, brave stallion. No pony else has been so bold as to try to pick me up so far. Only you have been. It...means a lot to me, you know? Most ponies just run in fear at the sight of me, or they'll just stand there scared until I give them reasons to not be scared."

While I'm meta aware that a Leviathan is an epic monster that eats a dozen kraken for breakfast, and I'm mentally preparing for the possibility that out ship might be swallowed by one of these things and we'll have an entire adventure in the stomach of the beast, I would like to make an Arcana check to see if Rosey Ring knows anything about Leviathans or what to do in case of a potential leviathan attack.

While that idea sounds pretty neat, and posey is aware of legends of creatures that do just that, this pony is almost certainly using the term “leviathan” to refer to a smaller, more well documented variety of large toothed cetacean elsewhere called a “devil whale.” If they are large enough to swallow smaller rafts and dinghies, they don’t, instead being well known to use their bodies to capsize rafts, dinghies, small boats, and lifeboats, and then swallow the stranded creatures one or so at a time. They have been known to ram the hulls of wooden vessels and sink them to try to get the creatures to jump off. These attacks are generally against smaller ships. Attacks against larger wooden hulled ships have been recorded rare occasions, but were likely not motivated by predation. They are known to jump out if the water to attack flying griffins or pegasi. When attacked, stay out of the water. Attacking back is advised as they will withdraw if they feel endangered. Traditional whaling methods are ineffective.
