Two young baby dragons ran and jumped into their bed. The two young ones, the one on the right is a female dragon with ocean blue and grassy green scales. While the one on the left is a boy with purple and sunny yellow for his scales.
“Mommy, can you read us a bedtime story?” Candry asked, causing her brother to roll his eyes.
“Please, I’m far too strong and awesome for a lame bedtime story” Rardet said, crossing his arms.
Their mother watch the two siblings start bittering once more. Ember let out a cough, causing the two children to stop fighting and sit up straight.
“I’ll tell you a story. One better than a beautiful princess and an adventurous knight.” Ember spoke causing her two kids to share the same expression.
“This is the story on how your father and I fell in love”
“Mommy. Is this story gonna take nine years to finish, or is that just how daddy met you?” Candry asked, Ember gave a smirk before she began her story.
Spike stretch out his teenage dragon body, today he felt like he was on top of the world. Like everything could go right and nothing wrong, today is the day he says to the dragoness he been dating that he loves her.
Ember. The Dragon Lord, him and her have been meeting up for the past two weeks, to have lunch together. Share an afternoon flight together, but Ember being well Ember just couldn’t say she like’s him.
Nothing will stop him from telling her, he loves her. Spike currently sat in his room, looking at a brown wooden box sitting right in front of him.
Spike unlocked it, to see the ring box. Sitting waiting to be open, the purple dragon bought it for as a last resort. Something in his mind told him it was the right thing to do.
Spike picked the ring box up, it felt soft and smooth. Small and fragile, like it could break in his claw any minute. His body soon began to glow, which frighten him.
Spike bid Twilight goodbye before flying off to the dragon lands, with a thousand question running through his mind.
“Mommy, didn't you send letters to daddy. Why use the Dragon Lord staff?” Candry asked
“Mom, is there going be any cool fight scenes, or is it just a dumb romantic story?” Rardet question
“Well you see, your grandfather Torch. Well he decide to pay me a visit while I was thinking about your father.”
Ember hated the feeling that happen every time she thought of Spike. Her heart started beating faster, she easily loses her train of thought and she couldn't stop blushing. The worst thing about it, she thought about him each day.
It didn't matter on how, she could be in the middle of a important meeting and then his dumb smile of his pops in her mind, his kind ways trying to help anyone he can be it pony, dragon, or any other creature.
She would just start smiling and a blush, heating up on her cheeks. Right now the blue scale dragoness sat on her throne, thinking on what to write to her friend and just friend. While a small mountain of paper balls sat to her right, she let out a frustrated yell throwing another ball of paper away.
The doors to her throne room flew open, when her father walked into the room.
“Hello dad, what can I do for you?” Ember asked
“You need to someone to be with” Ember rolled her eyes, Torch said this to her every time the two try to spend father and daughter time together.
“The Blood Moon is coming in the next three days.”
That got her attention, once a new dragon lord have been chosen the next five years that dragon have to find another to spend his or her whole life with. The Blood Moon, shines down onto the dragon lord and their future soul mate, then the two have to spend the rest of their lives with each other.
She banged the dragon lord staff on the ground, activated it to call all dragons to get ready to be chosen by The Blood Moon.
“Oh I read about that. It said that it chose all dragons mates if they are of age. But the ones already chosen can’t chose again.” Candry said with a proud smile that she remembered.
“Yeah and there are tons of fighting claws and jaws. Bam, wham,” Rardet said, getting excited.
“Rardet, you need to learn there more in the world than just violence” Candry said, with her brother sticking his tongue at her.
“Can I continue?” Ember question, caused the two young dragons to sit back still.
While flying Spike saw all different types of dragons, flying from all across of Equestria. Spike began to get worried, he land with the rest of the dragons waiting for their dragon lord to address them.
Ember flew out, causing the dragons to cheer, Spike stayed silent waiting for the dragoness he loves to begin talking.
“So I call you all here for one fact. In three days The Blood Moon, will rise once again to chose your mate for a lifetime.”
Dragons began talking left and right, Spike left in the dark. He heard female dragon names fly about from the males. The one who he heard the most was Ember’s name.
“Three days from now, The Blood Moon will shine down and chose for you there is no picking. All dragons have to stay here until The Blood Moon has past.” Ember finished speaking walking back to her cave.
Dragons flew away from the speaking grounds, Spike just left confused and frighten he might lose Ember. He decided to go right to the only one who he can trust. Ember.
“Mom, I’m just wondering if…” Rardet muttered the last part.
“I think he wants you to get to the romance.” Candry said
Ember smiled at her, how he still trying to act cool. But now getting into the story.
Ember fell on her throne, the dragoness snapped her claws. Calling the dragon guards into her throne room.
“Get started on the making the Ballroom ready for The Blood Moon.” Ember said
“What about you, Lord?” One of the guards question.
“I have to deal with Spike” Ember said, joy filled her body each time she said his name. The two guards seemed lost at what she meant, for the doors to the throne room to fly off for the second time that day.
“EMBER!” Spike yelled, causing the blue dragoness to smile.
“Right on time.” She turn back to the guards. “Leave and get the room ready”
“What is The Blood Moon, what is going on, why does it choose all dragons mates?” These were some of the questions that ran through Spike's mind.
“Let’s take a walk. I’ll answer all of your questions.” Ember said, with the two leaving the cave.
Luna moon stood high in the sky, shining down a light ray of light. Spike stood right next to Ember, her claw keep touching his. Ember fought to stop herself from holding his claw in her’s.
“The Blood Moon, happens five years after a new dragon lord have been chosen. All dragons of the right age, have to take place to find their mate for all time. It to stop wars and fighting between other dragons.”
“Huh, I didn't think I’ll be old enough for that.” Spike said
“Well you did hold the dragon lord staff first. Plus you have just past the age for The Blood Moon a few weeks ago.” Ember said.
Under the lit moonlight, Ember’s scales shined bright. Spike fought with himself to not kiss her, Ember faced away from him.
“Because of this, we might not able to be friends after this” Ember said, closing her eyes.
Spike grabbed a hold of her claws, causing the dragoness cheeks to heat up. She is now thankful it’s night time.
“Ember no matter what happens after The Blood Moon. I will always be here for you. No matter what,” Spike said, Ember smiled giving the purple dragon a hug.
“That’s so cute!” Candry said, before she started giggling.
“Can we get this story over with?” Rardet asked
“Fine then. I skip to The Blood Moon Ball”
The night has come, dragon's filled the ballroom, looking up to see dragon lord Ember standing waiting for everyone.
“Greetings everyone and welcome to The Blood Moon Ball. Tonight everyone will be chosen their mates for life, so no fighting over who gets who.”
The Blood Moon shined down, always starting with the dragon lord. Shining down onto Ember, all of the male dragons held their breath hoping to become the king of the dragons.
The second light shined down, the dragons standing in the way moved. Ember smiled seeing that The Blood Moon chose Spike for her mate. Spike shared her joy, the two dragon’s walk closer and closer. While The Blood Moon chose the rest of the dragon’s mates.
Spike grabbed a hold of Ember’s claw, he pulled her closer so their bodies was almost touching. Spike placed his claw on her lower waist, the music starting off slow. Ember kept stepping on Spike's feet, the dragoness gave apologize smile.
“Don’t worry. Follow my lead.” Spike whisper in her ear.
The words made Ember smile and feel safe in Spike arms, other dragons were also dancing with their new mates. But to Ember and Spike, they are the only two in the huge ballroom. Dancing under The Blood Moon’s light, the soft flow of the music, made Ember fall in love with Spike more.
The way he gently held her in his arms, how he looked into her eyes. Like she's the only one he cares for, Ember lead forward to plant a kiss on Spike lips to seal the deal of them being mates for life. Spike returned her kiss, causing the two to stop, but it didn't matter. All that matter is that they now had each other.
Ember saw that her children was fast asleep, quietly she left the room. To let them sleep in peace, once safety outside she got caught by her beloved. She smiled at him.
“It’s your turn next time they want a story.” Ember said, with a smile.
“Can I get another I Own You?” Spike question, causing Ember to roll her eyes.
“You’re worst than the kids”
"I know you love me” Spike said, pulling her into a kiss.
