The caravan was made nearly one hundred fifty like-minded crystal ponies, all of whom wished to start new lives elsewhere in the world, away from the horrid memories that filled their old home and ex-prison. Each and every one of them had gathered their few worldly possessions and embarked together on the long trek south.
Some of the ponies in the group had suffered greatly at the hooves of King Sombra, nearly broken under his personal attention. Ruby, for instance, had - from her perspective - had been one of his sex slaves just days before his defeat. Now that he was gone, she had decided to flee as far away from that place as she could.
As the caravan passed through the mountain pass, a roar sounded from the clouds above them. Every single pony froze. Whispers of “What is that?” and “Dragon!” passed through the group. Quickly, the group took refuge under the pine trees.
But, despite their efforts to hide, the ferocious-looking dragon with smoking black wings and a scarred face landed near them. “COME OUT, COME OUT, LITTLE PONIES. YOU HAVE SOMETHING I NEED. COME OUT, AND I WON’T BURN YOU ALL.”
Hesitantly, a stallion stepped forwards to confront the dragon. Emboldened by the dragon’s lack of reaction, more and more ponies stepped forwards.
And as they did, the dragon began to shrink until, when the last of them had come forwards, he was no bigger than Princess Celestia.
“What do you want with us?” the stallion that had stepped forwards first asked. “We have no treasure, no weapons, and nothing of value. Please, spare us and let us be on our way, kind dragon.”
The dragon lifted his claw and pointed. “Her.”
Ruby’s eyes went wide. “Me? What do you need me for?”
Instead of answering, the dragon raised his other hand, in which he was grasping a severed unicorn’s horn. He pointed the disembodied horn at the mare, which darkened with black magic. The mare’s sclera turned green and her expression went blank.
The dragon walked up towards her and whispered into her ear, despite knowing that she couldn’t hear anything now. “My mom thanks you for your womb.”
He tapped the transfixed Ruby on the head with the severed horn. In that instance, space seemed to fold in on itself, vanishing Ruby to a place none of her traveling companions could follow.
The dragon looked at the rest of the caravan, and nodded. With a flap of his wings, he took flight, flying off to parts unknown.
That would be the last time they saw either Ruby or the dragon.
To be continued in...
huh well thats new
I honestly think we could have gotten the gist of what Thorn was doing without
Also FIRST!
Ugh, that's dark, even for this story.
No dragon rape? Or is that latter? Or does Ruby just get pregnant with dark magic? I’ll be disappointed if you use magic to skip a possible awesome clop scene...

Dude, two things: Teen rating, and when was this ever a clop story?
It wasn't.
Pretty sure Sparkle just caused Ruby to carry her via the same series of spells she used with Savior, edited to work this time.
Hah! You tease, that was a wonderful surprise.

What was Spike and Twilight doing during all of this, author? Anyways, Spike is Twilight's familiar, and Twilight is a light-magic using unicorn. Even then, I'm pretty sure that Spike doesn't know magic in this story. Thorn, on the other hand, is Sparkle's familiar, and apparently does know enough magic in order to be able to do that.
So she isn't going to come back as Tirek, or a stallion. Good to know. Also, poor Ruby. I bet he would have been just as effective if he had asked for a volunteer to help resurrect the mare that saved them, "killed" Sombra and then died accidentally by their hooves, instead of kidnapping and magically raping a random mare.
6242254 Thorn can use magic Spike can't because he's technically just an extension of Sparkle. While Spike is his own person with his own soul and magic, Thorn shares a soul with Sparkle, as well as her magic.
This story was great. Although it had some issues, most of those are because this needs revising. Great story by a great author
Well, try number two at resurrection through rebirth, maybe this time it will work out better.
Well...I just finished reading, I guess it's time for feedback.
I...am suprisingly happy with this one. I never thought I'd like this dark gore-y stuff, but it turned out to be quite interesting. I liked the characters, I liked how Sparkle's true mind remained somewhat unrevealed for the whole time. I liked it overall. It sure deserves its reputation.
It was long, which is something I personally like about stories, if they go in-depth. It took me a while to realise that Twilight's timeline wasn't Twilight Sparkle's timeline, or that a third timeline even existed. I am definitely looking forward to reading the sequel, though I'm going to wait until it's finished, 'cause I hate reading unfinished stories and then waiting for chapters. I am glad that you decided to write a sequel in the first place, otherwise this ending would be really sad. While writing this, I started to wonder, what does Twilight know about all this? Sure thing, she realises that she cannot use her mind to open this portal or just send a signal. And I'm surprised that Thorn is alive (or at least not less than usually) with his other half-soul being gone. Ye, there are some plot holes, especially in the ending. Knowing that there's a sequel, that's ok, but without one, this would be pretty much my only "bad" Feedback for you.
Well Written, keep the good work on.
6241146 That, or seeing as she was raped by Sombrero a few days ago, Sparkle took the place of the soul that was supposed to inhabit the baby.
This fic is awesome. Going to thenext ome now.
This Fanfic is crazy as all hell. I like it
Started reading at around 6 P.M finished at 2 A.M and debating whether to read the next story or go to sleep... One chapter wont hurt.

Eeyup that about sums it up
7573121
insanity and mania are a humans best emotions and mental states
Those middle chapters really dragged on somtimes and i guess fanfic writers cant help but bury the tone, labeling the tombstone "memes and references" somtimes. I am glad i read to the end, i guess lol maybe ill stop thinking about
Wouldn't exist without Sparkle? Check.
Born of rape? Check.
Almost the exact same cutie mark? Check.
Death is Sparkle and Sparkle is going be be born as Obsidian Knife, a male crystal pony, isn't she?
The idea was floating around in the back of my mind but the 'born of rape' part kept stopping the dots from connecting until now.
