Years after arriving at the Erberus Islands, Spike begins his path of growing stronger alongside new friends while facing new dangers. All while being secretly manipulated to his destiny that will decide the face of the world
Gently placing her hoof on his redding cheek, Azura whispered to him. “Close your eyes.” When he proceeded to do so, she lit up her horn. A few minutes later, a passing fish from the sea was brought on board. Realizing what she was about to do, Spike and Aquilina had to cover their mouths to avoid laughing while Peewee was already squealing in laughter up on the mast. Azura slowly pushed the mouth of the fish towards Windward’s puckered lips and a wet smack was heard all over the deck. In an instant, the snickering dragon and griffin lost all control and fell down in pure laughter. Windward was too lost in the moment of his ‘victory’ to hear them, and proceed to smooch the fish with as much force as he could. He even brought out his tongue to explore the inner carvings of his most prized desire.
I don't know whether to laugh or cringe!!!
After puking his guts out, Windward wiped his muzzle before glaring at the smirking prankster. “You... may be... a hot pony... Azura.” He gagged a bit before shivering. “But you are one cold bitch.”
And an absolutely hilarious one!!!
“I’d rather have a reputation of breaking the rules to save lives than a reputation of obeying the rules and going against my heart,” Spike answered back.
You go Spike!!!
“Wait, that can’t be right,” Azura said, stepping forward with a confused glare. “I’m from Unicornia. We... they don’t accept slaves except for the Flutter Ponies. Unless things have changed that much since I left.”
Flutter Ponies? Now there's something new.
“So, we’re going to be risking our necks to go above and beyond our normal mission to do some crusade of justice to help make the world a less sucky place to live? As always?” Windward sighed but smirked. “Why do I always get dragged into this with you guys?”
“Because you never give up trying to get between my legs?” Azura asked, walking away.
As if it wasn't plainly obvious!!!
“Oh yeah, that’s why,” Windward grinned as he followed after her much to the others amusement.
Oh good grief!!!
“... I once knew a pony who didn’t think friendship mattered either,” Spike said, closing his eyes. “All she wanted to do was study and grow stronger so she could earn the respect of those higher than here. But one day, that pony met some amazing friends, and they started to change the world around them. She started changing others. Even though she died doing it, she helped open the eyes of those around here to start something.” Spike turned around to Azura with a smirk. “Maybe one person can’t change the world, but friends united with an idea can. An idea for a better world for everyone. I’m not saying I’ll succeed.” He lowered his eyes as his tone became a bit more monotone. “I’ve even made mistakes and came close to giving up at times.” Yet, his voice picked up again and he smiled, his eyes filled with fire that made Azura’s eyebrows perk up as Peewee, sensing his energy, cawed with excitement. “Yet giving up is just as bad as losing. Maybe I can’t change the world on my own, but I can change things enough so that one day it will come true by the effort of others.”
Friendship is the most powerful thing there is.
Azura slowly turned around and smirked. “You reminded me of somepony. Somepony who was very dear to me. He was just like you. Young. Idealistic. Always doing the right thing even if it went against what others demanded.” She closed her eyes and began to walk forward. “Maybe just being with you reminds me of him? Maybe I’m just honoring his vision by being with you? Regardless, I just hope you have a better fate than he did.”
Wow, so the treasure is actually the captain’s daughter. That is so sweet. Now I am curious about this pony Azura says Spike reminds her of. Maybe we’ll learn more about that later, maybe we won’t, but at least it is a hint that Spike really is making a difference, slowly but surely.

Can't wait to see how this mission pans out. No plan survives contact with the enemy.
