Rumors of my demise were not exaggerated at all (I am now a lich lord! Bow to me!) · 9:45am May 4th, 2016
It's been a long time and while I did warn Dragonfly Effect was going to be sporadic in updates, even I didn't quite mean like this. But I have gotten back to work on it.
Not entirely helped the next chapter is supposed to be kind of lengthy since I'm moving through introductions with the remaining Mane Six before the waste product makes contact with the oscillating climate control device.
Spoiler warning: Pacing might feel swift since I can't see Spike being able to keep this secret for very long.
Now, here's a preview from early into this next chapter:
Taking a breath, Spike read the list. “Weather, there should be a pegasus named Rainbow Dash who's in charge of it. Supposed to have cleared the clouds.”
“Well, given your little incident with the ‘rain’ earlier, she must not be very good at her job.”
A sudden blur of color flashed by them, followed by a rush of wind that almost bowled them over. Skidding to a halt closeby, a blue pegasus with a trademark rainbow mane, wild and fiery as the mare it grew from, turned to them and smirked. “Who’s not very good at her job?”
Spike’s mind began to resume its drive memory lane, he still remembered seeing that same pegasus in her Wonderbolts uniform for the first in a show, he could see her in her wedding dress, the heated arguments, the the even more heated evenings, and all the things that followed until that morning Spitfire flew into camp, carrying a charred uniform and a few burnt, blue feathers.
“Uh, hey, something wrong with your pet iguana?” The pegasus’ voice snapped the dragon to attention. “Oh! There he goes, man, he looked like the Cloud Ionizer last week.” Rainbow Dash laughed off. “I mean I’m used to people staring when they see something this awesome, but I was afraid I mighta broke him for a second there.” She struck a pose that made Twilight roll her eyes while Spike was reminded all too well of that sleek body he used to
“Mind out of the gutter, Spike.” The dragon mentally chided and shook his head, just in time to catch the tail end of his ex-wife. “Sorry about that, so how ‘bout this weather, huh?” Spike said aloud to deflect the conversation.
