Why is it that any Sparity story that involves them having a family makes my heart melt? I guess it's just that adorable.
The Star Fox and Dracula elements struck me as a very random throw in (unless they're a reference to something I'm not aware of) but otherwise this was a cute fic.

This story is part five of my series. The Dracula element is the second story and the Star Fox element is the third.
5692051
Ah ha! I shall have to read those then.
mint I really can't wait for the next chapter
5692051 So I just realized, your first three stories in this series had video game/book themes but did the fourth and this one have a theme from somewhere.
Yes, I love your stories. Their so action packed and heart warming. As much as a love the darker action stories on this cite that have Spike taking sweat revenge on the bad way his been by the mane 6, It's good to have the rays of sun shine like this one.
5694934
Part four and this one don't have a solid reference, however I always use video game music as backdrops for my stories. The climax of part four had music from Final Fantasy 6. After this story, I'll be working on part six, which will be based off of the Dragon Quest Series, mainly 1 and 2.

I'm glad you enjoy my stories. I too sometimes enjoy a good Spike revenge story. With the amount of crap he goes through in the show, I want him to receive some well deserved love and respect or to have his fiery revenge.
5696038 There's something else on my mind, in this story will they say how long Kirins live for because that was on my mind since the thread story?
5696909
I probably won't put an exact number on the lifespan, but only little bit longer than a normal pony. I imagine around 120 to 200 in extreme cases.
Always fallow a recipe to the letter, that is the first real every kid learns from their mother when they start learning how to cook. I guess a spoiled prince wouldn't have learned that. Or Prince Zephyr that dumb-ass that rubies both his drink and his victims at a frat parity.
so the reason it didn't work, was because the potion that was made was for pegasi, and ONLY pegasi!! One would think that the ingredients would let someone know that this would be one for a pegasus.....yet Prince Zephyer attempted to use this on a unicorn.....
Both of them are at fault---even the damn witch; she was too damn greedy and focused so much on the amount of gold that she didn't even bothered to ask the Pegasus Prince which race that he was trying to woo...
Kinda wants to know what the potions were for unicorns and Earth ponies. anyway. No wonder that the potion failed for Rosa eventually, and in modern times two earth ponies consuming a potion made for pegasi would eventually work off.
Knowing how Spike seems to remember a lot of things (probably because of how Twilight raised him), I hope that he at least can remember the entire story from start to finish, and to know it so well that he can get it published and all of Equestria can learn the real reason of Hearts and Hooves Day.
After all, it is kinda an important duty as a Prince of Equestria to uphold the history and that it can be shared from one generation to the next. With Aurum telling Spike the actual story, it will still be in lore for generations to come. I do hope that it is publishes for all ponykind, and dragons as well to read. Amethyst shouldn't be the only kirin in the entire world that exist, there should be more. And I'm looking forward to the Kirin that were born from the pairing and Aurum and Rosa (I wonder if that eventually turned out to be Discord).
Hey can I give you an idea for the end of the story? When Poor Aurum dies can he like transfer all his knowledge to Spike and can by some sort of magic miracle can like Aurum pull a digimon and turn into an egg and have Spike raise as his new son, that would be so sweet.
5834622
I already have a plan for the ending, but I kinda like the first part of your idea. With thousands of years of knowledge and Aurum quickly running out of time, he doesn't have time to teach Spike everything he knows, but your idea gives me an idea. He won't magically zap Spike and go, ''Now you have all my memories,'' but he could do something else that would pass on his lessons. Thank you, I was actually worried about that! Now I have a way to solve my dilemma.
5835071 No No, I didn't what it to happen that way, I was thinking it would be more like in Draconequus Maximus 's story "Wedding Bells and Egg shells" where a a dieing female dragon gave Spike some of her knowledge and power so he could take care of her egg. Also mentally I think it would be the wall that Death put up in Sam's soul to block out the torture that Lustier did to him and it breaking down over time, or what Spok did and put his mind into the Doc or Like the well of sorrows in Dragon Age Inquestion. Also does that mean you'll think about the whole turning into an egg thing?
5835942
I regarding the transfer of knowledge, I've come up with a way for Aurum to pass on his teachings without directly putting all of his memories into Spike.
As for the egg-turning idea, I've already determined Aurum's ultimate fate. It is something that needs to happen, for both this story and the next one.
5835991 Well here's to a great story and hopely a happy ending. * Raise shot glass of vodek and takes a swing* Aaaah, Clash* knockout on the floor.*
So he didn't ?
but he did.
no he didn't.
YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE ME!
SPIKE!

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! and I got a ergaon vibe from that scything stone lol
YES!!! More stories! I can't wait to read the next one!

I did indeed draw inspiration from the Eldunarí from the Inheritance Cycle for the scrying stone.

This is the end of Aurum's story, but now I can focus on "the Legend of Spike: Dragon Quest!"
Once again DiabloGuapo you magnificent bastard you've made an outstanding story. This was a beautiful story.
I should have guess you'd use the stone to house all of Aurum knowledge. Also I got to say I wish you reincarnated him back into an egg, I just think it would be so cute having Spike raise another dragon. It would be so great his dragon kid would have all the pony love he had going up but without of the lack of knowledge of his dragon heredity Spike had to go throw. But I see what you where going for , the whole see your family again in heaven thing.
Also for your next story here's to hoping that Spike's having royal blood, I mean his purple the shade of royalty.

Seeing how the story ended, It's awesome that Spike has all of Aurum's wisdom and knowledge that he learned over thousands of years not to mention that he can use that knowledge to help his mother Twilight Sparkle. And also that technically Spike can be considered the most powerful dragon in the world since Aurum's immense hoard is now Spike's, Rarity's and Amethyst's hoard together. Obviously we know that a dragon is truly more than just his hoard--well, dragons can say their families and mates can be considered parts of his hoard as well. It's great that it is hidden, and that it's closely guarded by only the Elements of Harmony and the Princesses. I have to assume that beyond that circle, hopefully no other creature knows of it.
It was saddening that we know that kirins existed because of Aurum and Rose making love and birthed Rising Sun, their son (cool ass name by the way), and even though there was generations of kirins thanks to that union, they were hunted to extinction because of ponies. It's ironic and tragic that the same ponies that are being of compassion and love that their ancestors were a complete 180. Also saddening was that when the original King of the Unicorn and Rose's father pretty much disowned her as a daughter when Rose objected at her father's order for her to stand aside and allow her father to slay her lover. It was nice that they were finally able to reconcile, at least for the sake of the king who was on his deathbed, though it took over a decade for her father to forgive Rose for his actions and to see his grandson for the first and last time. It was nice to see that her brother Orichaulum still loved and cared for his younger sister, and apparently came to terms that his nephew was a pony dragon hybrid. I wonder how the Unicorn Kingdom acted since we can assume that Ori became the new King of the Unicorns as a result of King Adament passing away due to old age.
Considering things, I wonder what Princess Platinum would be to King Orichaulum....probably like a great *8 granddaughter or something similar to how Blueblood and Cadence are Celestia's nephew and niece.

The most powerful dragon? Well now, I wouldn't say that...
In my series, Princess Platinum is the granddaughter of King Orichalum. In my headcanon, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are the daughters of Princess Platinum and Commander Hurricane. After all, Prince Blueblood is the "great great great great great great great great great great great (and probably even more greats) nephew on Celestia's and Luna's mother's side, about 52 times removed, roughly speaking." So they are related by blood and he is of a royal line of Unicorns. It only makes sense that he is descended from Platinum's sibling's line. And then there is this...

This would also mean that Aurum is Celestia and Luna's great-uncle.

Princess Platinum is King Orichalum's granddaughter?! Neat!! And since Celestia and Luna are the daughters of Princess Platinum (according to your headcanon--and honestly, I truly believe that it is the actual story, no matter what show writers or others say to the contrary), that makes King Ori the great grandfather of the alicorn sisters.
I'm actually saddened that more than likely King Ori didn't live to see his great-great-granddaughters, but considering that it probably covered about 60-100 years (that should cover 2-3 generations) one could pretty see that would be the case.
And on the tangent that Aurum is Celestia and Luna's great uncle, I can't help but wonder: Is all these events just coincidence, or the cosmos righting a wrong that happened a long time ago? I mean, Aurum and Rose had Rising Sun, which he met with a pony and had a foal (or foals) --and enough foals grew up and fell in love with other ponies to have a little race of kirins that naturally are friendly to ponies and dragons---only to be exterminated by predujice and ignorance by ponies. And an eon later Celestia has that dragon test for her school, which inadvertantly led to a filly Twilight Sparkle hatching said egg (Spike). Twilight eventually gets to meet the mares that become the Mane 6, which includes Rarity, and we have seen that that happened with Rarity and Spike falling in love and having Amethyst. Sure is a lot of events that are random, but when you look back at it, it seems that the red thread was never severed, and in a way actually came back to the start due to Spike meeting Aurum for the first time similar to how Aurum first met Rose.
History does have a way to repeat itself, whether one is looking for it or not. Don't you think so?

Personally, I don't count the Journal of the Two Sisters as canon. It contradicts the show (i.e. the zebras coming from just on the other side of the Everfree). Originally, Lauren Faust said that Prince Blueblood was Celestia's nephew 52 times removed on her mother's side. The book says that Celestia and Luna were the last of the Alicorns and came to Equestria after its founding. If Blueblood is related to the sisters, then why wasn't Celestia's cousin mentioned? With his royal Unicorn heritage, he has to be a descendant of Princess Platinum's line or related to it, because the Unicorns were the only one of the three tribes to have royalty. In my back story for the first Hearts and Hooves Day, I made the Prince a Pegasus and the Princess a Unicorn. The Prince was the one that made the potion and all of the ingredients are easily Pegasi accessible. In the picture, the Princess is depicted as either an Alicorn or a Unicorn. I used a Unicorn because I think that there were no Alicorns before the Two Sisters. The legend mentioned how a kingdom fell and I used my own story as a way to show how the Pegasi became a military state. The story also mention a dragon so that explains Aurum.
As for Spike, Celestia used his egg as a means to find the Element of Magic. However, there is another reason why Celestia cared for Spike's egg and saw to it that he was hatched. Remember, we have no idea where Spike's egg came from or who found it. All I will say is that the scroll our mysterious, hooded pony found at the end contains information regarding the matter.
Wow. That story was really heartwarming.
It felt like that is was really happened in the show. I actually cried when Aurum died, but I was happy to see he was reunited with his family.
You have amazed me with this story and I wasn't expecting what happened. I can't wait for your next story. I'll be waiting.
Come to think of it, those ingredients do seem kind of restricting to Pegasi... Wow, that actually went over my head. Never thought of that.
Well that was... Actually pretty funny. I found myself chuckling at the whole thing, especially when Aurum found himself caught in that little slip up. Bravo on that, I don't laugh easily.
*dry heaves at the nicknames*
you're a monster for even writing that.. shame on yoooou!!..... 
BRILLENT! 
good job so far sir! I tip my hat to you.
Sorry I've been away for so long. Been busy with school and soon looking for work. But, lets give this a read shall we? I wonder what I have missed.
it always amazes me that a complete stranger can make you truly look at what you believe in and actually look at both sides of a coin
so sad and beautiful
