Hey everyone. It's that time again.
Things are crazy in my life right now, so I'll answer whenever I get the time. I'm extremely grateful for all the support I've gotten from everybody, and I hope you'll stay with me for the forseeable future.
So without further ado, let's get on with questions. Remember to consider how spoilery things might be beforehand though. I can't answer those. If you have multiple questions in one comment please number them so I can keep them separate.
1. So what meat is Spike's favorite?
2. Do air ships have the same effects on infants as plains do?
3. Are they going to fly to Canterlot every day or are they going to make some teleporter like thing or just use the train?
4. So are the sisters going to make up some excuse to why Spike and Sombra are at the castle or just be like there just chillen at the castle nothing weird going on.
5. Speaking of Luna are we going to find out what or who her special some pony is, if she even is a pony?
6. Can I make a quess that in the current Court of the Third King there are some noble family members?
7. I wanted to ask this before how is Spike damaged, like did is scales get pierced, where the torn of by the force of the hits he took or is it like busining to the fesh under the scales?

1. Spike is fond of Cockatrice, but his favorite is Manticore because it's beefy and the tails are lobstery.
2. Unfortunately yes. Fortunately Sugar Berry and Frost are instinctively sky-borne and don't mind the pressure changes and whatnot. A baby unicorn or earth pony would still raise hell though.
3. That will be addressed in the next update.
4. Well, Spike is now a very well known dragon and in the higher ranks of royalty. His presence at the castle would barely register as unusual to a guard or staff member. Sombra might be a bit harder to explain, but nothing Celestia can't convince anypony things are okay about.
5. We are. In fact, Luna will be training Spike and Sombra with the help of Selene. As for her species I can't give you any guesses right now. Too spoilery.
6. You would think so, right? But no. The court only wants powerful and useful members. Beznik scouts them out personally to ensure quality. Canterlot nobles only have money to offer, which the court has little to no need of. I will say there are ponies in the cour, but none of them are canon characters and only one of them is a high ranking member.
7. Arimaspi was actually able to slice through the softer scales of Spike's underbelly. While dragon scales are strong they aren't totally invulnerable. Age is also a factor. Spike is still basically a young child in draconian terms, so his scales can be pierced relatively easily by a well placed blow enhanced with Dootha's magic. If Spike were a thousand or so, the attack would have only tickled a bit. Thankfully Arimaspi was weakened by his death and Spike's dense abdominal muscle absorbed some of the damage and it didn't get to any vitals.
3791246 1. What's is favorite normal animal meat?
2. What about baby dragons?
3. Good to know.
4. Well that's one issue gone, what if Twilight asked because you said this lessons are secret from her.
5. I just wanted when not anything else.
6. So if a noble would try the demonic kitty be like no, and eat their soul?
7. Time for someone to eat more what ever hardens scales I guess.
8. So Somba's powers so far are he can go into peoples shadows and did what ever he did in valley ( please clear it up to what you would call what he did). So am guessing that Sombra's not going to have normal unicorn magic, Is he at less going to telekinesis?

1. Pork, considering cows can talk.
2. they'd probably be okay.
4. Nah, Twilight is in on it now. She knows.
5. Very soon.
6. I guess? But you don't find Beznik. Beznik finds you.
8. To put it simply, Sombra's powers are darkness itself. Neither good nor evil. I'd call it Umbramancy? And no, no telekinesis. As stated previously, Sombra tried to levitate himself out of Spike's shadow but nothing happened. For reasons to be revealed closer to the end, Sombra has no pony magic.

7. This senor is for of a summoning thing?
8. Is it the soul or is he product of years of breeding the perfect vessel or cloneing? Just tell me if am hot or cold.

7. Senor?
8. Good guesses, but you're lukewarm at best.
3791688 I meant sanereo.
3792373 Do you mean Selene? Luna's wife? She's something special. You'll just have to wait and see.
3792912 What I meant was that if Noble tried to get in the court thread king they'd try a summoning to get the evil cat's attention.
3792936 Oh. Beznik isn't summonable. He's technically not a demon. He's a shade... I guess? He's kind of hard to classify. But he likes taking the shape of a cat because they don't obey others. They follow there own whims.
3792981 No I see it as someone summoning him is the same as putting a signal flare in the air you can't make him come but you can ask him to.
3793136 That does sound more plausible. If you did something that piqued Beznik's interest he'd come to you. Although you'd have to do something pretty big. Like discover blood magic for example. Or control the fate of a nation. But even then he'd most likely watch you from the shadows before approaching you.
That's why Celestia and Luna never got approached. Beznik could see they weren't ones to fall in line.
