Now that Twilight has officially graduated as Princess Celestia's student, and Spike has grown to adulthood, it's time for the two siblings to walk separate paths. Spike, receiving a job offer in Canterlot, is prompted by Twilight to discover his own life. Conflicted, and with a heartfelt goodbye, Spike decides to leave Ponyville and his friends behind.
A chance encounter with a nature spirit pushes Spike onto a path he never saw before. A journey of introspective proportions, with familiar and eccentric characters alike, to answer the one question Spike has:
"What do I want?"

Through a doorway to an unknown path he sets out, in hopes of finding hisd place in the world.
Don't you dare not see this through to completion. I will be the most incredibly dissatisfied reader in the world if you half-bake this story or put it on hiatus or any of that crap.
If you stop writing it, I will destroy you.![:pinkiesmile:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/pinkiesmile.png)
On a more personal note, comedy is great and all, but I much prefer serious stories, particularly those that have to do with mental trips--which this most certainly is. This is exactly the kind of story that I've been wishing you would write... and now I finally have it.![:rainbowkiss:](https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/rainbowkiss.png)
I know this isn't your normal type of fanfic, but you have to do this. Please, Flint Sparks.
