While searching through the Everfree Forest for flowers, Cheerilee comes across a strange young colt. Foul mouthed, vicious and angry, the child is like nothing she'd ever seen. More importantly, he claims that ponies are like nothing he's ever seen. Could this little colt truly be something called a 'drow'?
At the same time, Rarity is preparing to welcome her cousin, a young filly named Silverbelle, to her home. However, the preparations are interrupted by a small colt calling her 'mommy' and of obvious draconic heritage. With three new foals arriving on the same day, could it all be coincidence, or is something far darker on the horizon?
Special thanks to Hillbe for the cover image.
Chapters (40)
Considering Drow are part of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise, wouldn't this be a crossover? Also, kudos to, as far as I know, being the first to ponify a Drow and put them into the world of Equestria. I can't wait to see more.
6506952 I'm sure someone has done it in story, probably. Thanks for the crossover catch, never thought about that. :) Thanks for the support.
6510220 Well, seeing as I can't write fanficition to save my life (I can come up with the ideas, but actually putting the metaphorical pen to paper is another story), I might as well help others with theirs. Not letting this story die, like so many other authors have let theirs, will be thanks enough for me.
This is one of the few stories that can cause me to want to burst into spontaneous song when I see it. I don't, because I am absolutely terrible at singing, but I want to.
I want to sing this song...

6510251 I don't plan to. ^^ This little thing is something that has sooo many lil mini stories I could make about it.
6510885 I'd be lying if I denied I hadn't thought that once or twice. >.>
6513301 I find it funny seeing as how that first picture will likely be an accurate representation of later... :P

6523292 Oh heavens no. I'm not sure Equestria would be ready for two claws! Or Claw trying to help raise himself... The horror... the horror!
I am trying to decode the message, but I want to know one thing, are any of the asterisks spaces?
img09.deviantart.net/1f7e/i/2015/238/6/8/she_he_by_hillbe-d97asr6.jpg
Spike & Claw fight for the last of the cookies ending Equestria as they know it.
6532790 The asterisks are wherever the ink is smudged, so it can be spaces, periods, letters, etc.
6532920 Sounds about right.
6522933 Thanks ^^ Always good to have some editors. :)
6534843 your 'dear past me' note
spike & rarity smoozed? claw with a mission? Equestria smoozed to death? claw is Sweeties?

This was great,,,,,,,Scoots & Rares bits are priceless.....
I'm gonna put the following in spoilers, for those who haven't been keeping up with the latest episodes:
The CMC finally get their Cutie Marks, all of which look like shields, and Claw's mother has a shield Cutie Mark. Claw's mother has a white coat, Sweetie Belle has a white coat. Conclusion: Claw is the lovechild of Spike and Sweetie Belle...which explains why Rarity seems a little unhinged.
But wait... If Sweetie is the... What happened to Rarity? Oh, oh this is going to be tragic...

6561554 Awww, thankies. ^^ I love the lil pictures. So many of them fit so well. :P
6543427 Just a little bit...

Spike awoke and saw the mess in the kitchen and started to clean up "Don't want to waste all this great food" scrubbing and munching he set to the task at claw,
6581243 Okay do you make these pictures in response to the story or is the story being made in response to your pictures? Because you aren't the one publishing the story these pictures you keep posting confuse me.
6585379 Oh What came first? Scootaloo or the egg.....?
img05.deviantart.net/fc3e/i/2015/248/d/c/fin_by_hillbe-d98jwoz.jpg
Does this answer your question?
6586163 But I don't know which is the egg though, that's what I am asking.
6586444 pre02.deviantart.net/e9a1/th/pre/i/2015/268/0/e/spike3_by_hillbe-d9awxo3.jpg
read 1st draw later......?
6586444 Well, I looked at his deviant art page, a lot of the pictures were already there. I think he's just posting the pictures he thinks suit where the story is at said point. They're having no real impact on the story itself.
6586479 Am I correct in my guess?
6587050 correct,, some are 'stock' others are 'new*'
*not as old
img05.deviantart.net/599f/i/2015/268/a/7/untitled_by_hillbe-d9aua1y.jpg
If the characters are in character the art will fit them too, but I can doodle a quickie if needed.
