Learn to love the writing, of telling a story that you want told, and not the recognition that comes with it. When skill and passion atrophy, write for yourself, and in time, you'll inspire others.

Do continue.:moustache:

Be sure to attack the tow lines securely to these ships: it’ll be a tough load to haul, but they are worth far more in this state than in pieces,”

I'm guessing you meant Attach?

Please let the pirate captain be Spike, That would be both badass and it would suit him pretty well.:pinkiehappy:

2763529 Thanks for pointing that out. :facehoof: My bad.

well looks like the mane six are going to get swept of their hooves by a dashing Spike the pirate and get orggeyed by the Changeling mistress of the sea

I'll be honest and say that I only read two parts:
1) from the beginning to where they just accept that Spike is gone (or at least not writing to them abruptly) and blatantly accepted it
and 2) from the apperence of the Pirate Captain to the end

and that's mostly because I rarely read any story that isn't a Spike fic, and having said that, I would like to read more

Oh hell yes this like so good.
Unlike your other big adventure story, this one has the Mane 6 and Spike on the high seas.:yay:

Spike as a pirate captain is so bad-ass and him been on "speaking" or other kind of "terms" with Chrysalis is bucking hot.:trollestia:
And I hope it's the other.:moustache::raritywink:

I'm wondering just where is Spike?

2773741 Ten bucks say that he is the captain of the Sea Wraith.

dude the only thing I am really Curious about is one thing how the heck is every one is a noble AJ, RD, Flutters, Derpy with her dad count derp and Pinky how is blood hell dose Pinky become a royal can some one please explain that one to me :twilightoops:

I would enjoy twilight's and the rest of the mane six's reaction seeing spike and chrysalis doing the nasty.
maybe something like this? :pinkiegasp::rainbowlaugh::ajsmug::fluttershbad::raritycry::twilightangry2::facehoof::moustache:

2773823I'll take that bet. And another 20 says Chrysalis hits on him when they have there "meetings".:moustache:

I really like where this story is going. It looks like this is going to be one of those stories were a good guy aka Spike has to be a somewhat bad guy to fight the greater evil, and I don't mean Chrysalis. Yeah Sombra, I see your tag there. I'm keeping my eye's on you!

Man, Spike is so putting Jack Sparrow to shame right how.:moustache:
But in a good way.:twilightsmile:
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more.

2774230 I see him more as Barbossa. Funny, while still keeping his authority.

2773908 Notice the tag that says "alternate universe", please.:pinkiecrazy: I have slightly reshaped the world to suit my needs, because, why not?:trollestia::trollestia::trollestia:

I'm 80% sure that the pirate captain is indeed Spike....

Here are my reasonings:
1/ First, the Mane 6 are do somewhat miss Spike. He was originally Twilight's assistant before he.....disappeared, for lack of a better term. Apparently they all remember him, and there are very subtle hints of Sparity and Flutterspike in their flashback.

2/ The pirate captain is described perfectly as something Spike would do, especially with this quote:

He, or at least everypony along the coast thought he was a he, wore something akin to a mask over his face. There were rumors he had been terribly disfigured in a battle and now wore it to hide his shameful visage. Others said he had the face of a beast and only wore it to add to his mystique, revealing it only to those he was going to kill. The mask itself was of a purest white, almost intensely so, and the holes where the eyes would shone through were shrouded by a thin fabric, so that nopony could see his eyes.

Considering that the vast majority of sapient life are ponies, it makes great sense to me that, as a dragon, Spike in his natural form would have either cause panic or a massive ponyhunt. Plus, he has draconic eyes, anypony would known exactly who he is, so lets go with a "Phantom of the Opera" jive.

3/ His demeanor, once again described in this passage:

Grund, the first mate who had led the raid on the ship, walked past the row of captives. “All prisoners accounted for, captain,” he said in a gruff voice, limping slightly. “The captain put up more of a fight than I’d have liked, and he lost a hand for it. Still alive, though: the boys bandaged him up pretty good, as per your code.” Ah, the code: informal, but enforced nonetheless by the mysterious captain.

“Good, good, though why you had to cut his hand off eludes me,” the captain said, nudging the unconscious captain with his boot, earning a slight moan in response. It wasn’t a hard nudge: just enough to get a confirmed response of coherence, even in unconsciousness. “I told you I prefer them mostly unharmed, and losing a hand is a severe injury if not treated. Any others injured in such a manner?”

Who else would have a "code" of conduct, that even though he's a pirate, he has standards.....perhaps an air of nobility?

---Another thing I am seeing is that the "witch" seems a lot like Chrystalis. Which, if Spike's the pirate king, makes a lot of sense (plus a shameless plug for another story of the author's :twilightsheepish: )


......I read way too much...:facehoof:

2774739 I see Chrysalis as more of a Barbossa with the whole killing and destroying things, but later comes to the goodside.

2775053 You make some excellent points. And the second and third chapter is making it more and more likely that Spike is the captain. Though I wonder what is going on behind the scenes. Spike wouldn't join a cause unless he believes it is just. And from the way he talks Chrysalis must be in on it and have similar goals but they have different views on how the goal should be reached. Though I wonder how Spike is going to end up with.

Well I just got mind fucked, unless spike is pretending to be a prisoner and grund was posing as the captain.

Ooh, a bit of a twist, but was Spike a prisoner, or is this a case of the ol' switcharoo?:trixieshiftright:

2777876>>2777884 Grund is on the ship, as he was looking over the proceedings with a spyglass. :trollestia:

So, is the captain another dragon or is there more to this than we thought.:rainbowhuh: And I'm sad that Spike isn't the captain.:fluttercry::raritydespair:

2777902 perhaps the captain doing the negotiations was a illusion? Or was the captain all along a somewhat reformed, fucked-up king sombra??

2778010 Sadly, no, and definitely not.:trollestia::trollestia:

I have something else in mind for my Sombra tag. Something far... darker.:pinkiecrazy:

Now I NEED to know who the captain is

I still have the feeling the real captain is Spike and that he had planned this whole thing out in advance in so much detail that he got someone trustworthy on his ship to take his place when he was gone...

but I might just be saying that because I like the idea of Spike being the #1 whatever in fics

2778010 I just thought of something, since the captain is on speaking terms with the changeling queen it wouldn't be that far of a stretch for one of them being a changeling in disguise.

and the suspense only thickens like hell. bless and dam you for amzing skills in the world of fanfics only thing I must ask is why have the 6 know Spike in my opinion but more cleashay would not have them know him and meet him on the high seas as he wins their hearts with hounr and roughish charm:eeyup:

I'm still calling bull on Spike not being the captain. But if he really isn't, which I doubt, then I guess I'll just be happy he's finally in the story.:moustache:

I think Spike was merely pretending to be the prisoner, please let him be the captain. Don't care if it is sue like.


Ah yes the Captain.
Stallions wish to be him & Mares name their vibrators after him.

Or it may be a case of the Dread Pirate Roberts

You have me confused? I really, really, really, thought Spike was the captain. Oh well, it's getting very interesting now. There was a section here of, personal, particular interest to me. It was when Rarity question the impressment. This to me has always been a deep question. Is something like this necessary? Really man you are the only writer here that can make my brain go philosophical. It really showed how disconnected the mane six, or at least Rarity, is from the "scene" as it were to understand yet not accept why such a system would be in place. I think it is both a blessing and a curse to live such an ignorant life.

Now with my little philosophy out there, on to my review, no. Perfect, that's all I can say, perfect. The first thing to pop in my head when I read this was a mixture of one piece, assassins creed, and pirates of the Caribbean. To have the sophisticated yet merciful pirate, but also a tactican extraordinaire with swift and decisive movement. Loyal crew, higher morals, and mystery!! This has it all!! Two great stories! Two. I don't usually give out respect. But you sir have such talent, such passion, you are one of the few and far between stories that excite the imagination of many, pull the reader into another world, and most of all get my attention.
Oh I hope the updates don't take long! Wait... If you update this then that is time spent away from a dragon's journey. But if you work on a dragon's journey then I won't be able to see this story update for a while. But if you try to work on both at the same time you'll burn youself out. Oh this is a conundrum!! Whelp best get me some vanilla this is gonna take a while.

2794341 Don't worry: I have been working on one of these every day, usually alternating every few days. It's not intensive writing, everything is coming along nicely, and I'll have something published very soon. So just keep your eyes peeled for that ever-so-delicious update message!:pinkiehappy:

My comment on chapter 1 says that I believe the captain is Spike. And I do think that it is a bit of "The Ol' Switcheroo". The so-called prisoner is wearing Spike's captain cloths, and Spike has donned the colt's old hand-me-downs. Spike's first mate Grund is currently the captain-in-charge while Spike is on land.

And I knew the switch when it showed that both Spike and the prisoner (his name eludes me :fluttershysad:) had the masks on.

Since we also know that Twilight still has some sort of feelings for him, I wonder how she's gonna take it, that Spike's been on the high seas the entire time he was missing. And once again, there is more subtlety that the other members of the Mane 6 like the mannerisms of that captain.

blueblood's just jealous spike has most of the elements on his dick :moustache: also I thought for a second spike was going to wake up and yell some random mare's name, like Trixie!

Excellent, excellent. Another great chapter! Can't really say about quality, I'm five seconds from passing out, but it was interesting enough to keep me, and force me, awake. So give yourself a pat on the back for that. Still, there where many points brought up that tickled my mind. Ohh!! This is gonna be good, wake up you lazy dragon and tell your awesome tale of pirate life, be used as a pawn in a strategy much bigger then you can comprehend, forge alliances, break trusts, and make this the best bucking story EVER!!

I think you really like teasing us with this story of your's.:trollestia:
So many question's to be answered.:twilightsmile:
And Fluttershy, you sly girl you.:pinkiehappy:

Well, well, well, looks like we got a witcher in this story

Another great chapter! I love the part with the smile... it makes me think my hopes are founded:

1) Spike only tells that he was kept in their dungeon and didn't know a thing, possibly because they wanted to find a use out of him but never did
2) Spike is the Captain of the pirates
3) He knows some magic or ability to spy on blueblood and his crony at the meeting and maybe get wires in the whole place
4) Spike gets a harem with the mane-six (and maybe not only them)

2840497 Of course: I am such a tease, after all.:trollestia:

2840553 Geralt is not a Witcher, though I have nothing against them. Instead, think of him more as an earth pony Nazi assassin/spy. I pictured him with a German accent the instant I thought of him.:rainbowlaugh:

2840466 I have a good feeling you are especially going to like this story. :twilightsmile:

2840680 Oh boy, do I have surprises in store for you: in fact. for all of you. Some have been guessed, some guesses are really wrong, and some things will come to pass that nobody would have ever guessed.:trollestia::yay:

2840827 well, like I said, those were my hopes... Because I just love it when Spike's the badass, powerful motherbucker...

but the only thing I got from your reply was: there are surprises, and some of the guesses are wrong(?)

2840906 I meant some of the guesses others have made are a tad... off course, in terms of their attempting to guess the story.

No, there's not going to be a surprise: there's going to be a lot of surprises.

2840994 well of course, with your stories, it's hard to get a good grip on what's expectedly going to happen (and I mean that as a good thing) , but between you and me, is Spike at least a badass in this? :moustache:

Still not 100% sure Spike isn't with the Pirates
