She's a princess. If not THE Princess. You know- the ruler of Equestria, keeper of the sun, most powerful being on earth, all that jazz.
It's not your fault she's also unbelievably, irrefutably, incomparably gorgeous.

But it was your fault that she overheard you saying just that. Oh yeah, it really was. And let me just tell you something:

To let that happen was really freakin' stupid.

For Anon, so much has changed in a little amount of time. He can't really complain about it either. Things are getting better and he knows that the sisters are happy too. However, there's been a change in Celestia, it's small but it still has him questioning the reason. Did he do something wrong or could it be something else?

Tempest Shadow was once a great, mighty warrior in the fallen Storm King's army who had forsaken all bonds of fellowship in favor of hatred and malice. With the Storm King's aid she returned to the land as a conqueror, bent on enslaving all of those who had shown her the same hatred that she bore deep in her heart.

In the aftermath of the Storm King's demise she is lost, she is alone, she is afraid. Everything seems so backwards to her now. Nopony is willing to help her, nopony is willing to get to know her, nopony wants to. To them she is an outcast, her only friend being the Princess of Friendship. Everything in the world seems against her. Until a chance meeting with a strange dragon, who is willing to look past her veil of darkness.

This story is a sequel to Opening Her Eyes

It was the day before Hearth’s Warming in Equestria. However, unlike the recent years, this time her friends wanted to spend some time with their own family and other friends instead of throwing a party in the friendship castle like they always do.

Somepony dear to her, unexpectedly, was heard knocking on the door.

Princess twilight and Princess Celestia make tempest twilights personal guard but tempest thinks she is helpless and pathetic and that princess twilight is doing this out the of petty of her broken horn so she vowed to make herself worthy of the title but what tempest doesn’t know is that there’s a surprise awaiting her.

Thanks for B-25 and Tempest_Flare for proofreading my story.

This story is inspired by from lost to love by The Abyss

In a surprise visit, Dragon Lord Ember comes to Ponyville with important news to give to her good friend Spike. According to her words, a great gathering among dragons is soon to be upon them, and in it, every dragon of age must find another dragon to become mated to by its end -- for life -- or risk becoming mate-less and alone forever, as stated by dragon law.

With such a sudden and perturbing turn of events, Spike, who is of the proper maturity, finds himself thrust into a most dire situation. Being raised by ponies has left him unfamiliar with his kind's inherent customs and traditions, but he knows that if he fails to participate or act like a proper dragon at the gathering, he fears he could lose his chance to show Ember the feelings he's been keeping from her for the past few years.

Does Spike have the ability to behave like the rest of his kind? And even if he succeeds in relearning his dragon instincts with the help of his friends, will he still be able to win over Ember's affections before someone else does?
