Though Spike has learned who he is with help of the Great Dragon Migration, he is still left with the question of what he is. Accepting that his personality is different from that of his own kind, but now seeing that there are more physical differences that can not be ignored.
Just as before, Twilight's vast knowledge is unable to help. But, when the purple dragon learns of an old dragon of legend who shares similar differences, he is determined to learn more, With the help of his friends, Spike sets off to follow this dragon's ancient wake, his hopes high to find some scrap of insight into his existence.
But with so many uncertainties, will Spike find the answers he seeks, or will the disappointment of failure crush his resolve forever?
Chapters (16)
This has my attention, I will read this later.
Do not disappoint young one.
Hello interesting concept. How are you today? Didn't I see you over at a few other fics today?
I will be reading this later, when I don't have a back-log of 20 different stories.

oh yeah, im tracking this.
Looks good. Let's see how this all turns out, eh?~
heh, hairless apes
I'm not hairless.
I would definitely read that Luna fic. It's driving me crazy trying to figure out why she would need "flammable milk".
Nice touch with the Rarity cameo. What the hell did Luna do to that bed?
1034767
What anyone in her position would do.
Her own bed just simply wouldn't do, and her bigger sister's helps to make the point much more clear.
1034934 So, she was drinking flammable milk in her sisters bed, huh?
1034948
Why, I never said that...
i still want this to be an epicly long quest but you are boss and no one will stop you.
More is needed
Good save there, Spike!
WE NEED MORE PEE WEE!!! Even the Cake Twins are becoming popular since their debut.
"marshmallow utopia, white fluffy goodness surrounding him from all sides." Someone tell me I'm no the only person who instantly imagined Rarity giving Spike a hug at this line.
Also, Fluttershy, why you so adorable?
an't wait for more chapters broKeep up the good work
Ahahaha I would love to hear a story that had more on Luna's endeavors in running the castle! Especially when it's great news to hear that there was only two fires.
Awesome. Reminds me of the Diamond Dog ep. Lol.
This is getting goooood, can't wait til the next chapter.
It's all fun and games until a dragon flies in.
This struck me as incredibly cute.
And while I know this isn't a romance, I still love the way they play off one another in the story.
uh oh trouble is coming better fly or run or whatever ya can
Based on Spike's greed-induced adult form, I suspect that he's a Gojira
That moment when Spike's realization hit felt so very male. Don't you just hate when that happens, but at the same time ya gotta laugh at it.
Taking the Cake Twins impossible learning curve as inspiration for what Spike was capable of mentally as a similar age? Ah, well many things can be explained as magic but impossibly smart babies is a reminder that FiM still uses cartoon logic.
1265897 Pretty much this. Compared to how Pumpkin and Pound have both shown though, I would also think that a baby dragon would be even further ahead in terms of age and general maturity. Especially when you consider how mature Spike is now even though he's only a few years old and still looked at as a baby dragon. Though, I may still be streatching it a bit...
GASP!!!
How is that possible?
This story is so amazing, yet only 34 likes.
Also, FIRST!!!
1315592
Has me stumped too.
I'll guess it's either the story is just bad enough that not many want to read it, or I've just been terribly unlucky when it comes to updates and the story is just buried before people can notice it. I'm inclined to think the later, but I'm paranoid enough to assume that's just wishful thinking.
Being a living furnace has its benefits
putting this story on my underrated fics list
Oh boy

Hi, can you tell me what happen to Spike ? I don't understand this chapter..
The whole "Dragons being ruthless monsters" idea just doesn't sit well with me. It would make this story much more meaningful if you were to explain the Dragons' attacks more thoroughly.
>>Riz
Not what has happend, but what will happen.
I am impressed that this story is so good it has gotten literally zero dislikes, please write more.
Well, that's depressing. . .
Poor Spike. . .

20? Ha!
Try 760!
For God's sake, help me.
1266861Um spike is almost as old as twilight
So you've decided to make the Dragons into ruthless beasts something that's been overdone so many times, way to stay ORIGINAL by the by, and decided to give zero justification to them.
I'm disappointed in this. I really am.
Thanks to you, I have to go finish Skyrim with Odahviing and/or Durnehviir just to clear my mind of this.
Also, count yourself lucky the dislike button doesn't seem to be working. I know, I've tried.

1397083 Don't even try to call me out on that.
The difference: he makes ALL of the Dragons in his story, save for Spike, into monsters whereas in Skyrim there are SEVERAL Dragons that have helped me. And the vast majority of evil Dragons are followers of Alduin.
Unlike his story, I am far more justified in my statement.
1397179 We'll see. Story's not done yet.
1397214 I certainly hope to see something more original in this story.
In Skyrim, Odahviing even says how he and countless other Dragons have begun to question Alduin's reasoning, yet none have dared to openly defy him out of fear.

No he's not Twilight was at lest 5 when she hatched Spike and there is a difference between dragon years and pony years as well
