This story is a sequel to How to Hug a Five-Hundred-Foot Tall Dragon

It was supposed to be a routine flight over the desert, just a relaxing trip to stretch his wings out. He'd done it a thousand times before.

This time, it wasn't so routine.

Sex tag is for innuendo. No clop.

Part of the Hellpiercer 'verse, but knowledge of that story is not required. Reading the direct prequel How to Hug a Five-Hundred-Foot Tall Dragon is advisable, however.

Ember is invited to attend the Galloping Gala to further improve pony and dragon relations. She accepts, but she has a different goal in mind, one involving her and Spike and she's stacked the deck to make sure he will be hers!

But will things go as planned?

Artwork by me, will be updated to suit the story when I can get it done.

Once a Princess, now a Lord, Ember sends a letter to Princess Twilight to a situation that involves Spike. The letter seems serious and the dragons are already on their way. What could it entail about Ember's journey to Equestria? What does it mean for Spike?

Update: A NSFW version... has appeared! Those whom wish to explore the... freaky side, follow the link! Dragon Tails

The Follow up sequel called The Dragon Lord's Legacy can be found here! here

Where did Spikes egg come from? Why did Celestia have his egg in the first place? Why was she using it in a test to find a pony she would eventually groom into a Princess?

In shock over the loss of the Golden oaks library and believing his friends are gone, Spike has something trigger within his little dragon body that he had never felt before....or had he?

The Elegant Diamond. A name that everpony knew. Seductive, cunning and agile. The famous costumed rogue evaded the grasp of the royal guard again and again. Her small, but talent gang allowing them to perform the most impossible of heists, stealing from the most secured vaults in the lands and sharing their riches with the poor.

Now however, the Royal Guard have seized an opportunity to get one of their own into their ranks. And not just any normal guard, but one of the best and brightest of them all. Now, they are tasked with infiltrating the gang and bringing them to justice from within the inside.

But in order to bring them to justice, one must first know what justice is.

Two thousand and fifty three years.
Spike has been battling the eldritch horrors of timeless Ginungagap for over two millennia, yet even to this day, his shame remains gnawing at his very heart and mind. Until the day comes when he is told of the danger that threatens what is most precious to him.

To save what he loves, Spike shall face his shame once more, his will, determination and sanity stretched to their limits, as he will step into the Abyss of his own, personal hell.

As always Spike moves forward, ever forward, towards battle, death and hopefully redemption.

In life, shame.
In death, absolution.

Some fighters are celebrated in ballads, others have their names whispered by bandits as wretched curses across the desert winds and even more are remembered for the injustice they fought.

This one belches fire.

This takes place before "Twilight's Kingdom".

When one gets abused, neglected, and unnoticed too much it can affect them massively. This is what a small dragon living among ponies had to face, sadly. And sometimes, consequences can be brutal, and coincidences can be frightening.

Follow Spike, Twilight, and the rest as all of their lives change.

Cover Art is from yours truely.

Once, the Equestrian civilization was to usher in a golden age for the galaxy. Then came the Chaotic Dark, which sundered the Equestrian homeworld and set events in motion which would bring about their downfall. Even now, a millennium later, they continue their struggle to restore themselves to what they once were. These are the adventures of the Celestia Solaris and her crew, as well as the personal journey of Spa'iik "Spike" Dragonfire, the only Draconian in the Equestrian Fleet.
