I am a draconequus, and I'm still waiting for a friend.

It's been years since I last saw him off... Or perhaps... centuries would be a better choice of words.

He said that there was another continent, far across the sea. Somewhere.. out there across that enormous stretch of water. I don't know, I've never been there.

That's centuries ago... Now... I'm the only one of my kind in these parts... But hey, I'm still alive and kicking.

I wonder what I should do today...

Some ponies are shy creatures, and try to get through life without getting noticed too much. Other ponies are massive, hulking brutes that make as much noise as possible.

The two are seldom related.

This story is a sequel to The Monster We Made

She betrayed us.
She mislead us.
She imposed her rule upon us.
We rose in defiance.

After several years spent amongst the dragons, Spike returns to Canterlot to take an entry exam at Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Individuals. His old friend is there to witness it, and she is not too happy with what she sees.

Twilight Sparkle has failed at getting the Crystal Heart in time, letting the former king, who enslaved the entire kingdom over a thousand years before, return to take over the Empire.

Now, with the Crystal Heart permanently gone, Twilight is now bound to King Sombra for all eternity...

Because of this, it even left the only pony who can save her, her loved ones, and the empire, powerless against him.
