This story is a sequel to The Darkness of Love
Spike saved the Elements of Harmony, but a past mistake had caught up to him. He died a week later, leaving Twilight heartbroken, holding a crystal that contained half his soul from before he succumbed to dark magic.
Now, some months later, Twilight has spent her time searching for the key to bringing Spike back. With everything in place, and Cadence assisting her with Spike's resurrection, will everything go as planned, or will something falter and leave Spike half of or twice what he used to be?
Opening theme for this story is: Awoken - Sound of the Aviators

This just got so much more amazing. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE!!
All right sequel. Moustache approval.
Reanimation/Ressurection of a Dragon?
A crystal with a soul in it?
Dragon tongue?
Incoming Skyrim references. Okay you have my attention.

1663260 And no Skyrim references this time. Don't want those haters to get their doilies in a twist.
MOAR
YAAY!
MORE
Well.
1663262 Oh well.
Did anyone else think of Naruto when they saw that picture
god When I saw this I squealed like a man!
So the nightmares the others faced corrupted Spike? And Spike will become consumed by the darkness and it will drive him insane. This is not good, not good at all.
I have 4 essays to write, and now all I can think about is this. Damm it! This is sooo good, I demand MOAR!
Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!!!!

1663641
I thought of Naruto as well! Haha!
Aaaaand now we wait for more.
Although I would've enjoyed having the same Spike back.
One more thing, I don't think that he should be *completely* insane, because then it would not play out well in a fight.
Wow good start from where the last story left off, but im getting quite a lot of Asuras Wrath in this..... Not that that's a bad thing...
Why is this not on the featured box yet?
Awesome so far!
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You just made my entire day my friend, will Spike still have his reversed wings? And all I ask is that Derpy Hooves can join their group if you please.....will Luna side with her sister in this war? And it's a wonder as to what the other dragons think......this is going to get gooooddddddddd
You are a genuis keep this up and you shall be ranked amoung the legends
Am I missing a few races and I completely forgot, would you mind if Peewee or even the other pets had a few cameos brother during the war? I really love this story, you know for a fact that I'll always be in the mood for your stories, HAPPY THANKSGIVING, REAPER!
Tracking.
You have a great idea here and the plot further serves to draw me in. Huzzah.
I await more, you brilliant dunce you
Awesome chapter. I haven't read the prequel yet, but you summed up what happened in the definition.
When I read the part about the magic circle, I thought it was gonna be some kind of Fullmetal Alchemist crossover
After reading it all, it's more of a mix between Elder Scrolls and The Last Samurai.
1663641 yes.
But I saw a link to the sequel and I was happy. Three yays! for you 


And can I make a suggestion? Could you italisize (forgive my spelling.) the flashback? I read for a bit before I realized the paragraph I read was a flashback. You don't have to do that but I was just a bit confused. Also, thanks for making a sequel. The first book ended with a cliffhanger and I was sad.
SHIT JUST GOT REAL
Can't wait for more.
already good
Whatever you do.... DONT LET SPIKE KNOW IT WAS REALLY CAVE JOHNSON!!!!!!
Stupid Combustible Lemons...
me like, you do more, so easy caveman can do it
Insane?
How is this not Featured and My Little Telemarketers is?
Especially with the massive gap in attention between the two stories?
for some reason that pitcher instantly reminds me of sonic when he goes all dark in sonic X so anyway keep it up
Is it just me or does the dark Spike from the cover photo look like the nine-tailed fox from Naruto in one of the earlier forms?
ANDIAMO!!!
1664340 Oh, damn. I meant to italicize it. Thanks for pointing that out.
1664232 Where did you get that profile pic, it's awesome.
1666183
I drew the pic myself. Was inspired by the artist that drew your current cover art of an evil Spike, but I couldnt find a pic giving off the 'enraged evil' image I wanted. So I drew my own and this was the result.

This can only be described as... EPIC!!!!!!!!
I like the darker turn you're taking with this one, good luck pulling it off.
HE LOOKS LIKE A FREAKING JINCHURIKI!!!!!!!!!!!


(in the image of course) Still AAAAAWESOME!
1664228 we meet again...
YAY A SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T EAIT FOR MOARZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1666280 You and I are going to have a serious talk if we meet meeting like this, 27....and then it will some how end with us fighting flesh eatting Goldfish, Ferrets and owls.....so good luck
And buck yeah *Brohoof*
