❇️ Howdy, to everyone coming here since 2024. We started to write this fic in 2013, inspired by the concepts of immortality and using that to explore societal structures.

One of the biggest things to Us was the fact that (FiM season 3+ spoiler) We imagined Twilight as an alicorn who takes over for Celestia. Not long after starting this project, that happened in the show, and it blew out Our will to continue this.

We might someday return to this, especially now that it's been over 11 years. Our creativity is coming back and We're emotionally in the right space to pick this up.

As of 2024-06-17, however, everything about this story and the description below is untouched from how it was back when We were first writing this.. Consider this an archive of how it was, until and unless We decide to start writing again.

Chapter 1 ("Alicorns") remains the only completed chapter. The entire rest of the story is unfinished, so only Chapter 1 is published here. You may act as a prereader for the rest of the story by viewing the Google Drive link below, but do know that only what's published here is considered "done".

[TO PREREADERS: The full story outline and meta information, as well as other notes, are available on Google Drive]

This is not a story for the weak-minded, nor the impatient, nor those whom expect a single theme or mood. This is not a story of right and wrong, nor of victory and tragedy, though it does have these. This is not a story of a single pony, nor is it a story of many.

This is a story passed down through only two generations, spanning uncountable lifetimes. This story is about a concept which is much too vast to ever comprehend, and is fully known in the hearts of every Equestrian.

This is the story of the love of an alicorn.

Sometime after the incident with Sludge happens, Spike's been more and more conflicted on where he really came from, he never properly got the answer as to where he came from, and this incident only made him question it more.

And upon reading it, the letter surprises him greatly when it says that it's from someone who claims to be his mom, and that she is in a world of Dragons, the Dragon Realm, and for them to finally meet and for Spike to understand where he came from, he needs to go there in order to find her.

The letter had a potion that looked to be able to teleport Spike to this world, and after heavy thinking, Spike decides to go on his own to find out what really happened to him by himself, he leaves a letter for Twilight and the others to let them know he's going out on his own to find his own calling. When he arrives in this world, he meets a purple dragon by the name of Spyro, and after learning about eachother's problems, Spike and Spyro team up in order to stop the threats that come in their way, while also trying to find Spike's mother..
