In my half aware pain-addled state, I’d thought I’d been blessed to have one final moment with my brother before passing on. I told him that I loved him because he needed to know that before I died and then resolved that I wouldn’t see him again.
augh, heartbreaking! what a final moment for Spike that would have been
I am Spike the dragon.
I am the brother of Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armour.
I will never bend to those who would harm me or my family.
I will live.
And, at the end of the day, those are the most important things to me.
badass, love it! and this is from someone who’s reaction to Spike being mentioned is “who’s Spike?”
He made mental notes of a few unexplainable injuries on some of the inmates to report back to Luna about. They could be carryover from before their imprisonment, or self-inflicted from their time in the cell, but Spike was almost certain the guards had caused them and he knew Luna would never tolerate that kind of behaviour from her wardens.
given what we’ve seen of the trio’s activities so far, that is an interesting standard that Luna adheres to
“Yeah, I deserve that one, but seriously, are they feeding you properly? None of that fake meat they tried to get me on when I was younger?”
ahaha that makes all too much sense, augh. (though wait doesn’t he eat gems? does he need both?)
No, they’re ponies. Who fucking cares?
“I dunno, knowing the truth behind something can be—” Spike adjusted the muscles around his vocal cords to revert to the scratchy cadence he knew Garble would recognize “—pretty infuriating, dweeb.”
Widening his eyes in recognition, Garble slammed himself against the bars, foaming at the mouth. Spike stared at him in indifference as he reached his arms through the bars and clawed at the air between them.
oh yeah that would def get to him
No one died, Garble wrote and punctuated with a growl.
“Not at the time, but it provoked a follow up attack from the ponies who at that point were used to war.” Spike tilted his head, coldly regarding Garble. “How many casualties were there amongst the dragons?”
that is… certainly some sort of logic for who to blame for what happened…
“Killing,” Spike answered in a dull monotone, “I did my part in the war and that meant leaving a trail of corpses in my wake.” He felt his mind wander as memories of the battlefield came to the forefront. “I feel like I should be more bothered by it, but all I can think is how disgusted I am by how much I enjoyed it.”
oof, Spike the extremely desensitized child soldier
A look of respect crossed Garble’s face. Guess you are a dragon.
coming from a guy that didn’t kill any ponies when burning a town?
“I do since—” Spike saw the memories flash before his eyes. His sister begging to let them go. Fluttershy smiling through tears as she bled out over him. “—they’re important to me.”
love this, very cinematic
Pressing his head up against the bars, his eyes narrowing, he said in a deeper tone, “eliminate my enemies so they can’t get revenge on me?”
Starting to nod his head in agreement, Garble paused as he caught Spike’s tone.
ahaha love it
Not waiting to see if Garble ate his prize, Spike turned away and began to leave the dungeons feeling even more unsure of himself then when he’d began.
again another amazing character-driven chapter. really love the depth that you bring out in this Spike. all he needed was a few years of unimaginably horrific trauma and loss and murder to really burnish a shine on his canon issues of being a dragon raised by ponies!
