Not a bad start. This has some potential. :twilightsmile:

Raven just had to take one day off and that left Celestia with texas. She hates texas.

Think you meant "Taxes". You did that several times. :twilightoops: :trollestia:

Hope they got more Character Tags.

Dear Spike, You gave up being Dragon Lord for a Marsh Mellow pony and a Magic Grape pony?

You should stop playing with your food, You are one weird little dragon. . .

7132280 Yeah, there are a few too many typos for my taste.

ahem

Anyway, good story.

I'll take my mental breakdown elsewhere...

I'm pretty sure that there is a mane-growing spell that Twilight can use to fix this. That said, I'm also sure that she'll find some way to make Spike suffer for this one. Acting as bodyguard to the CMCs during their first official visit to Manehattan or something comes to mind.

7132280
Actually, I think it was a deliberate misspelling. Celestia wasn't sure of the proper name for the devil-spawned paperwork in front of her. Just to be sure, she was going to incinerate it... and then anywhere with a name that sounded like it. Which is why the good folk of Texas should start running now.

Question possibility: We noticed that during the Gauntlet of Fire many dragons were wearing armor. Do dragons have a centralized economy or trading outpost where these sorts of things are sold? If there is no trade posts or markets then do dragons simply learn how to make armor themselves?

Anyone notice how Ember's scale designs VERY closely resembles Rarity's cutie mark?

7132514

Yeah... Unintended typos should be fixed with the coming of the second chapter and the accompanied blog post. As for the whole Texas/taxes thing, it was a play on a phrase by caboose from Red vs Blue by Rooster Teeth. However, looking back I see that really should've waited a day to re-read what I wrote.

7133326 Everything Spike wants have gems near, on, in, or around them.

So I slapped something together based off the fact that Ember granted Twilight permission to write letters to her concerning Dragon Culture and such. So I'll need questions for Twilight to ask Ember and visa versa.

Cue Ember getting buried underneath a ton of letters.

I was thinking in regards to twilight's question about spikes wings that ember could look into dragon archives and see why he hasn't grown wings yet since she wondered that too and find that spike is a legendary breed of dragon based on godzilla.

Why didn't Twilight just teleport to Rarity's?

Discord has long since realised that he does not need to forment Chaos for his own entertainment. He just needs to sit in Ponyville town square and wait for it to come to him. He never had to wait for long.

Now, why the twitchy tail? Falling rock? Falling Cloudsdale? Or just an annoyed Garble whom Ember has been tormenting by making him her erand-dragon, having to take her letters to-and-fro and having to be nice to ponies as a consequence?

Future Question to Ask:
Why didn't any of the older and larger dragons answer your father's summons and try to become the Dragon Lord? It was just all the teens like Garble and his buddies!

Feels like Tuesday.

The ponies of Ponyville now have Koal over a barrel (although he doesn't know it). All they have to do is imply to Garble and the boys that the pillow was a freely given gift and he'll never have any peace!

The Dragonstone is an interesting idea. Obviously, like lots of Dragon magic, it is impervious to Unicorn magic. Maybe Twilight should brush up on her mouth-stylus skills?

Do they have pets?

Celestia had wrote ‘I hate Texas.’

Well Texas isn't that fond of you either SUN BUTT! Geez, how rude can you get?

Pinkie giggled, and Twilight smirked, then dumped a second bucket of water on Starlight.

Dumbstruck, Starlight just stood there.

“That was for the smell.” Twilight snarkled.

Ha! Pirates of the Caribbean Reference!

EMBER: "So... how does a pony get to be a princess anyway?" I'd really love to read Ember's MST3K-style commentary on Magical Mystery Cure.

What happened to gerbal and his quest to hug every dragon? :P

7143671

It's in Chapter 3. But yeah, may as well have somepony/someone ask that question later when Ember [redacted].

“Last I heard he was only halfway home and he had only hugged about 683 dragons. Quite a few of them didn’t like. He’ll get home with a few scrapes, bruises and burns. Hah. And for the way he’s been acting he deserves all of them.”

7143688
damn thats harsh ember.
nearly killing him XD. for some reason i can see spike being all "not cool."

:duck: when will my Spikey wiley become the gentledrake I want?

I very much liked your idea that the Dragons under Torch had recovered from a massive cultural collapse following a natural disaster and found it very plausible (you'd be surprised how often this happens IRL). If Torch had spent most of his time reigning in nomadic clans, it would make a lot of sense that the Dragons haven't really re-established their civilisation fully. It would also explain thugs like Garble.

One wonders if Ember is going to end up what Lord Coal's son was meant to be - the forward-looking child of a new era who pushes the dragons past unification to civilisation?

Oh here's a good question!

Are there different tribes of dragons like with ponies? Like we have Earth Pony, Unicorn, Pegasus, Crystal Pony & Alicorns. It would be very interesting to know if there are dragons never heard of.

Here's an idea for the answers

Sea-Dragons, Chinese Dragons, Earth Dragons. Than maybe for the normal dragons we mostly see are either called fire dragons or just normal dragons.

SPIKE: "Twilight, is Ember ordering around a dragon three times her size that is acting as if everypony and everything in the town is made of pure dragonbane?"

TWILIGHT: "That, my number one assistant, is the true power of a Princess!"

I hate Texas.

Do they have Texas in Equestria? I thought it was just an American state...?:rainbowhuh:

The horror! The horror!

7153969 I think it's a reference to this, but backwards.

Loving the comedy.

How's Philomena fit in all of this?

7179147 Well, I was told by Philomena that she wanted to come in sometime in the next two chapters. She even left me a letter! Burn marks included.

I don't get why Twilight fell asleep so suddenly. Is she supposed to be narcoleptic?

7180987 I wish I could say why Twi fell asleep but I can't because spoilers and all that.

7209912 Well, that just means you'll have to put out more chapters so you won't have to worry about spoiling us! :pinkiehappy:

Let's hope Ember isn't easy to offend.

*One freak out later*

Yes, that's right, Fluttershy, 'dragon'. You know, the nice dragon that Twilight told you about who is Spike's friend and the leader of one of Equestria's allied nations?:facehoof:

This ought to be interesting.

Discord metting ember?
ALL OF MY YES!

Oh, yeah. I've got a feeling that Starlight's attempt at 'solving' this problem will probably either leave Discord entertained for an eternity or just blow up in both their faces.
