Spike had given up on dragons, considering them all to be delinquants after he met with some of them during the great dragon migration.
But one night after getting into an argument with his friend Twilight, he began to have strange dreams where a strange being would talk to him claiming to be a dragon spirit of a long lost race of dragons with beyond extraordinary power and that Spike himself may be one.
Now Spike is in danger from the very Ponies he called his friends and may even re-awaken a war without end, the eternity war is threatening to return and Spike is the only dragon with the power to stop it.

After his adventures in the Great Dragon Migration, Spike receives a letter from Princess Celestia, telling him that she could know who he really is. However, once in Canterlot, he discovers more than he expected: he is, in fact, Ka-Hurr, the prince of the Dragon Kingdom of Draconia, lost many years ago. He now goes to his homeland to learn more about his people, but that won't be the only thing that happens with his return.

----------------------------------------------------
There will be some Skyrim references, like the mention of Alduin and the Dragonborn, but it won't be a Skyrim crossover.

Since I couldn't find a good Draconic translator, italics will be used to replace it, think that every moment that a character speaks and the text is in italics, he is speaking in Draconic.

This story is a sequel to Dust Bowl Dance

It's been three years since Spike and Big Macintosh joined the war. Spike has a secret that is the cause of his joining the war that he feels would destroy his friendships, but can it stay hidden? King Sombra has returned and has joined forces with the duke of the drakos. The Elements of Harmony are called in to defeat Sombra who is turning the war in favor for the drakos, and Spike's squad is called in to protect them. Sombra has a grudge against the purple drakos, and leverage.

On one of her regular hunts for gemstones, Rarity discovers a treasure trove beyond her wildest dreams... and the lavender-scaled dragon who collected it. Despite a rocky first meeting, Rarity and Greenfire soon find themselves drawn to each other more and more. But the question remains: How did a young dragon end up in the Everfree Forest all alone?

An alternate universe story that puts our favorite purple dragon and his beloved fashionista into a slightly different situation. Art used with permission from the wonderful ArtisteFish!

With Twilight away in Canterlot, Spike is left to his own devices. But Ponyville isn't the busiest of towns and before long, boredom begins to creep.

So to cheer himself up he decides to go spend time with his friends. Five stalwart companions whom he has known through thick and thin.

But Spike soon begins to realise that really, those are Twilight's friends. Not his.

In fact he starts to wonder whether, since he moved to Ponyville, he's actually made any friends at all...

(*2nd edition. Based on feedback, the final chapter and epilogue have been added-to to better reflect the contributions of the CMC.)

Hello, again!

Many ages after the original adventures of the Elements of Harmony, a certain dragon has his own role to play in the world. Strengthened by what they see as lacking, he stands apart from his own kin as they look upon him with both the fear and respect of one completely devoted to the destined task that he had been hatched for.

Cover art belongs to Minerea.

Spike has been the loyal protector of Twilight, through pen and blade, but when she sends him on a mission too dangerous even for him, he returns missing an arm. Twilight must come to realize what she truly feels for her dragon.

Spike, the now prince of all of Equestria. Handsome and Charming, and born a thousand years before he was supposed to, is now a completely different being.

Spike, during these extra thousand years, has been training in all the fields known, his long life allowing him to retrain all that there is. Although with all good things, comes a price.

We now find us to the day of when his birth was supposed to take place, Spike is now a slightly different being. All that he has learned and experienced has changed the way he acts and feels, love not being part of that scheme.

But one day, he meet's a mare by the name of Twilight Sparkle, and his life is soon flipped. As he soon get's attached to the mare, as our lucky duo are soon sent to Ponyville.

How will the story change with a new Spike? What are some of the hardships Spike had to experience in order for him to mature from a prick teen into an sightly less prick teen? Why is Spike the why he is now? And will our lucky duo succumb to the gross element known as love?

Idea given to me by Smurf.

This is a tale of a drake wishing to become more.

Spike hands in his two weeks resignation to Twilight. Spends some time working for Fluttershy. Then the agency comes to request him often.

Spike was always different from other dragons. Sure, he still had many of the standard abilities of a dragon (such as flame breath and really tough scales), but he also liked reading more than other dragons did and didn't enjoy many of the same activities that gave other dragons pleasure. He was also adept in the field of alchemy. His only friend growing up was the Dragon Lord's daughter Ember.

Now, however, he has a chance to find out WHY he is different from other dragons, even if it means saying goodbye to his only friend. However, if he isn't like any other dragon, then what is he like?

Is there another out in the world like him or is he truly alone?

If he isn't alone, then where will this new path take him?

Many adventures with new friends and dangerous new enemies will give him the chance to find out, for better or for worse.

The only way to see where he will end up is to keep moving forward and never look back.
