Five years after Twilight's relocation to the city of Ponyville, the young dragon Spike has matured greatly. His childish crush on the mare Rarity having blossomed into true love, Spike resolves to share his feelings at last. But a dark new force gathers in the shadows, threatening the rarely disturbed peace in the land of Equestria. Will Spike be able to make his dreams come true before it's too late, or will Rarity be lost to him forever? There's only one way to find out.

Initially conceived as a simple love story, this piece of fan fiction has grown from its original intended word count of 10,000 to more than 16,000, with less than a third of the story completed. Though Spike and Rarity will be a great part of the focus, don't be fooled: the story itself is action packed and will leave no reader unsatisfied, neither romantic nor warrior.

Chapters will be released at minimum on a Wednesday/Sunday basis, more often if possible. Please feel free to contact me with questions and suggestions.
