Discord becomes bored and is itching to cause some mischief. He takes notice of Twilight and Spike being cooped up in the library as usual. Discord loves to mess with the duo in his spare time, by that I mean all the time since he can't go on a full scale chaos parade like before. After reading an unpublished article on his favorite victims friends he decides to have a little fun with them. However, Discord finds that his little scheme might be the very answer he has been looking for to satisfy his boredom.

Once upon a time, Spike went for a walk.

While on his walk, he was judged by an ancient alicorn, lodged with griffons, parlayed with air pirates, charmed a maiden of a mystical race, and dealt with the scourges of hate, fear, and racism while deliberately drawing the armies of myriad nations to the brink of global war.

Once upon a time, Spike went for a walk, and did all of this so that he could keep a promise to the one that meant the most to him... Twilight Sparkle.

In the first of three books, Pillars of the Sun (Chapters 1-15), Spike is devastated by Twilight's fate and grows more and more despondent as he attempts to understand what has happened to his dearest friend. A gentle nudge from a pony he trusts sends him looking for answers. When that nudge becomes a push he unravels ancient secrets... and risks losing himself before his attempt to rescue Twilight can even begin.

Diets can drive anypony off the deep end, and Sweetie Belle is about to find that one out the hard way. Meanwhile, Spike is apparently handsome. Because.

Wrote this one on a whim. I hope it tanks so I can get rid of it.

After Rarity says something that breaks his heart, Spike snaps and storms out of her boutique. Leaving Rarity confused by the last words he said before he left. Discord appears and decides takes her on a little trip through time to show her how Spike really feels about her.

This story takes place during the events of Simple Ways and after the events of Twilight's Kingdom.

Just for fun, Spike and Twilight try to write a Power Ponies fanfiction. Simple and easy fun, right?

Nope.

There are a few things about the fanfiction world Twilight needs to learn if she wants ponies to like her story.

Now with a French translation!

Spike has talent, but not enough to save his kooky story.

Spike and Twilight return from the alternate world to only see that Spike has not changed back to a dragon. This Spike isn't a puppy though and must show the world that he isn't a pet but much more. Watch as Spike grows into his destiny as a protector of not just the wildlife of Equestria but the very balance of nature itself. Spike will have to battle against everything from, manticores, hydras, constellation beast, timberwolves, corrupt forest gods, and everything in between.

Everypony remembers Tirek, the infamous, magic-stealing monster that walked Equestria all those years ago. However, few remember his brother, or the sacrifice he made to secure the future of ponykind.

Spike on the other hand remembers Scorpan quite well. Far more than he should, in fact. When memories from the distant past begin to emerge, memories of Scorpan and a dragon that looks uncannily similar to Spike, he has many questions, and very few answers.

Why does Spike have memories of a time eons past, and more importantly, why does the name ‘Scorpan’ sound so familiar?

Special thanks to Marshal Twilight for helping me touch up the story and plot, as well as editing.

Former royal guard, accused of betrayal. Pegasi seeking revenge for her lover. Dragon whose only treasure is faith. Prince of once proud empire. All of them will be driven together by events that will push two nations on the edge of war. The time when you have known your enemy is over. No one can be trusted. Everything is permitted.

The world is based on G.R.R.Martin's Westeros but it's not crossover.

Spike gets wings... somehow, Rainbow Dash helps him fly like a pro. LET THE CHEESINESS ENSUE! Like most of you can tell, it is a SpikeDash story. I told myself i wouldn't resort to writing Romance, but hey let's give it a shot shall we?
