After a long, grueling trial, the Crystal Empire was finally freed from the dark influence from King Sombra, once and for all. The triumph was tainted, however, by a tragic sacrifice. Now, with one of them gone forever, Twilight and friends must find a way to cope with the loss in their lives.

It turns out that you are absolutely right about the word 'caucus'. Does not mean at all what I thought it meant. I'll be more careful about that moving forward.
That's a fair question. In the show, she's shown flying almost like a bullet. I figured at that speed it would take her a moment to regain control and glide downward. Still, I suppose it's a question worth addressing in the story proper.
I definitely intend for there to be consequences to everyone's life here. Not 'start of darkness', though. This story is meant more as dealing with loss and exploring what Spike meant to all of his friends. Mind you, it would be a bit easier if I wasn't limited to the events of the first two seasons, but what can you do?
That said, I've found myself hit with a bit of writer's block on this story. I'm coming to the realization that a story of this nature might be a bit outside my competency zone. I do plan on continuing it, I'm simply having trouble with it for the moment. Apologies for that.
Yay! A story where spike sacrifices himself! And its about people coping! Haraa! Now i can possibly feel sad!
On this day Spike The Dragon passed away from this world

he was a child surrounded by a race not his own.....
he was a number one assistant until the end.....
and most importantly he was a friend

I agree with you....Twilight would no doughtily be pissed at Celestia for sending them by themselves to stop such a monstrous threat!.......Celestia is a lazy bucking bitch who cost Spike his life
Sadness incoming... Celestia and Cadance especially are going to feel bad.
I like this premise. I am interested to read how the ponies will cope and deal with Spike’s loss.
Man, Rarity did not have a chance to go with spike
This is so sad.
That said, you've caught my attention. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
I am hooked already and i must see how this goes on please i must have more

When are you going to upload chapter 2? (Granted it took me 2 years to upload chapter 11 in my own fic)
I Wish More Chapters Would Come Out, But I Think You're Far Too Busy To Update This, Whatever It Is, This Is An Amazing Story Yet To Have An Update, Please Update As Soon As Possible.
Please continue!!
May this fanfic rest in peace.
I hope this story gets rewritten one day by another user.
