So this is my first attempt at a fiction and hopefully not my last. More tags will be added as I go.

Who is Spike? Some will say he's a sarcastic little dragon, others will say he's a sensitive, or even kind little dragon. Most will go as far as to say he is twilight's little assistant, and a baby dragon. In everything that can be said about the purple and green dragon, only one thing remained absolute. Dragon, a creature of instincts, power, and above all else wisdom.

What happens when Spike wakes up one day, and realizes he knows things that was never taught to him. Hearing voices that come out of nowhere, and seeing creatures that were never there? Is this simply another trait of a dragon, a trial he must overcome to reach his next stage of maturity? Is his time amongst ponies finally taking its toll on the dragon? One thing is for certain, Spike is changing, but is his change for the better or for the worse.

Edit:
So this is my first attempt at a fiction and hopefully not my last. More tags will be added as I go. I'll easily be the first to emit that I'm not writer, so my grammar is ehhhhh.

Persona chapter 1 Awakening

View Online

A young purple dragon twisted and turned on the hard limestone floor of a dark and abysmal cave. The top of the cave was covered in stalactites, each which had little streams of water flowing down to their tips causing water droplets to fall and hit the hard surface of the caves floor. The young dragon tried his best to sleep keeping his eyelids shut firmly, but the sound of the dripping irritated the young dragon much more than it should have.

Drip, the more the Young dragon tried to block out the sounds of the droplets the louder they became. Finally with a large sigh the young dragon gave up trying to sleep, and allowed his eyes to slowly peel open. The emerald colored slit that were the pupils of his eyes seemed to radiate in the darkness of the cave. After a minute of lying on his underbelly the young dragon pushed himself up onto his hind legs and began walking forward. Everything about the dragon’s presences stated he knew where he was going; he had walked this path before even if it was shrouded in darkness.

After minutes of walking the young dragon reached the mouth of the cave which leads out into a large canyon which at the very base was a shallow flowing river of blood. The young dragon only stared at the river of blood unaffected by the sight that lay before him as it was all seen by him before. The river slowly started to move abruptly as blood bubbles started forming in front of the young dragon.

“Spiiiiiike.” A grizzly voice came as the first bubble burst, and then many more shortly after. Again the young dragon was unaffected by this anomaly. Nothing seemed to affect the dragon and if anything the dragon seemed irritated by it all. The young turned his head in both towards as well as against direction the river was flowing and could see nothing but stone and blood for what seemed like miles. He then looked to the sky which was covered in large thick dark clouds, and the walls of the canyon seem to stretch all the way to the heavens.

“Spiiiiiiiiiike!” Another blood bubble burst directing spikes attention back down to the blood river that flowed in front of him. After what seemed like hours of watching the river the young dragon took a single step forward into it. The blood river barely came up to the young dragon’s knee before everything around him started to shatter as if it all was made of glass. The young dragon fell forward into a pit of darkness that seemed to consume everything. No longer was he in the canyon, no longer was there any sign of a blood river, and no longer was he even falling.

A purple and green speck on a completely black canvas that is what the young dragon had to been reduced to now. The young dragon’s breathing had increased as well as grown a bit heavier as once again he began to twist and turn. His hind legs kicked ferociously as there was nothing there to keep him in place, and yet there he stood stasis in what one could only assume was the air. Suddenly a chill started to run down the young dragon’s spines; a feeling he couldn’t fully describe in single a single term.

“SPIKE!” The sheer force of sound from his name being called the time not only pushed him forward, but nearly knocked all the air out of his body. His body was now trembling uncontrollably with an emotion he could finally put a name to, fear. Against what fear itself was telling him to do the young dragon slowly started to twist his body so he could see what it was that called out to him. Witch each inch his body moved, his heart be slowed down until it almost came to a standstill when spike found himself staring into an eye. A draconic eye with a bloodshot red pupil staring back at the young dragon and causing him to do all in his power to try and move further away from it.

The single eye in height alone was bigger than Spike standing fully erect on his hind legs, and it’s was the length of two spikes one in front of the other from head to fully erected tail on all four limbs. A gust of wind blew apparently out of the darkness causing Spike to flinch, and slam his eyes shut. When the gust finally seemed to end Spike peeled one of his eyes open in the direction of the giant eye. The first thing he noticed was the gust had pushed him even further back, but that was easily subsided when he realized that there wasn’t one, but two eyes staring down at him. Spike mouth slightly fell open, as he was started to comprehend he had only noticed one of the creature’s two eyes.

“……..” Spike tried to spike, but nothing could be hear, not because he couldn’t form, but there was nothing in the abyss to carry the sound coming out of his mouth.

“SPIKE!” Another gust of wind pushed the young dragon even further back, and yet all that was seen were two monstrous eyes staring at the young dragon.

“…….” Again Spike spoke and again nothing came out. How is it that I was unable to speak, but this creatures voice alone cannot only be heard, but breath was forcing me further back? Why is this happening to me; what have I done to deserve this? Laughter had broken Spike’s train of thought, as an orange-ish red light started to break through the darkness of the void and completely engulf Spike in a blazing inferno of intense heat in which he had never felt before. The very outer layer of his scales looked as if they were melting, while the under layer intensified to the point of burning. H…..how is this possible, it feels like I going to c….c…combus…

Fire ruptured through Spike’s body melting his scales, and burning through the tendons causing his muscles to fall off his bones. With little to no support keeping the young dragon standing on his hind legs; spike fell backwards hitting a hard surface wooden surface. “Ah, it is too hot!” Spike yelled at the top of his lounges patting down his scales trying to put out a fire that wasn’t there. The sound of spike yelling brought Twilight’s blissful sleep to an abrupt end as she nearly fell out the bed trying to grasp a hold of her sense’s and rush to the young dragon’s side.

“Spike, are you ok? I’m here tell me what is wrong.” Twilight yelled as she tried to get closer to the young dragon, but her efforts were futile. The young dragon was twisting and turning uncontrollably, his claws and tail were wailing left and right smashing and cutting anything that was close enough. Spike’s basket had be shredded by the flailing, and spike was inching closer to some research notes twilight had spent the last two weeks doing all-nighters to finish.

“Oh no you don’t Mr.” The Violet mare yelled as her horn started to glow lifting Spike of the ground and suspending him in midair. This only served to make things worse as the young dragon was now spinning uncontrollably until the Violet mare finally decided to constrain his arms and legs together gently with her magic. “Spike, have you finally calmed down?” Spike could do nothing but simply nod, his cheeks turned rosy red in embarrassment once he realized he was still in the library upstairs quarters. “Now Spike, care to tell me what is wrong? This is the third time you’ve awoken abruptly in the morning.” Twilight asked with great concern for her number one assistant, but only think Spike could do was shake his head and sigh.

“It is nothing Twilight, and I’m sorry for waking you. I just need some fresh air.” Spike didn’t want to worry Twilight with something as simple as his dreams and only hoped she wouldn’t try to pry any further than this. “It is nothing Twilight? Spike this is the third time you have awoken hours before the Princess Celestia’s sun is even started to rise. The first two times I awoke you not only had me breakfast ready, but had already down half of your chores! I may have taken that answer then, but this time was more… violent.”

Twilight gently placed Spike down onto his hind legs before climbing back into her bed. She patted a spot right next to her for Spike to sit next to her. The young dragon released a sigh under his breath before giving into her whim; taken his spot next to the Violent mare. Spike than proceeded to tell her about the dream, and explaining the differences between the three times.

“The first time I had it I was terrified because it felt no it feels so real every time. I awoke in a dark cave and that is all there was; I could see nothing and I called out but no one answered me. I tried to walk around but I kept walking into large circler stones. Than out of nowhere I hear a voice call my names several times, and when I respond to them I get no answer in return. Suddenly there is this earth shacking roar which cracks the ground around, and causes the cave to collapse on top of me.

That is when I awoke from the first dream. The second time I had the dream, again I was terrified, but not as much as the first time. This time my eyes seemed to somehow been adjusted to the darkness of the cave. I could now see the things I were walking into were simple stalactites, as well as the fact again I heard a voice call my name, but this time the voice was leading down a path that I didn’t know was there the first time. So I follow the path all the way to the end, and what awaited me there was a literally wall of blood…Within a matter of seconds, the wall of water fell onto me crushing me. I could literally feel the pressure of the water, and taste the blood in my mouth…..” Spike gave a long pause as his claws laid by his side started balling up with a clawful of blanket.

Twilight watched Spike’s expression and body language; she could tell he was more scared than she had ever seen him be in his life. The Violet mare put one hoof around the young dragon and pulled him close into her for comfort and protection. “It is ok Spike, it was just a dream. I am here for you, and you don’t have to finish tell me it all. Just lay here and forget it.” Twilight said softly, but Spike simply shook his head before telling her about the current dream. The Violent mare only held onto the young dragon tighter even after the story was over. “Spike they are only dreams and this could be something you ate which caused the effects of these dreams. We still don’t know how gems fully affect dragons; there could be gems out there that have the similar affect to dragons as alcohol do to ponies. You have been gem hunting with Rarity an awful lot, have you been eating any gems you normally haven’t?” Twilight looking down at the dragon who was holding up his claws.

“Well there is; Amber, Amazonite, Morganite, Apatite, Aquamarine, oh but I really found myself attracted to Obsidian.” Spike licked his snout and rubbed his belly at the mention of the last mineral gem.

“Spike, None of the gems you just mention, could be found anywhere near here. So how could you have possibly eaten any of them, especially Obsidian. That can only be found around volcanoes and you haven’t been gone long enough to say you and Rarity traveled to their known location!” Twilight said in obvious disbelief in the new gem her assistant noted.

“Oh, and I forgot to mention bloodstones and come to think of it I still have some left in my hoard…..I mean stash, yea stash is what I meant to say. “ Without answering Twilight’s question and without giving her a chance to respond to his most current statement, spike climbed out the bed and rushed out of the bedroom leaving Twilight looking stupefied.

“SPIKE! WHEN DID YOU START HOARDING AGAIN!” Twilight yelled as she jumped out the bed chasing after her number one assistant and remembering the events of his rampage through Ponyville. When Twilight found spike he was in the back of the library surrounded by four contains that came to his knees. The containers were fill with amazing assortment of gems some twilight had only seen pictures of, or read about in mineral books. “Spike how did you get all of these gems, there is no way in Canterlot you found all of these with Rarity!” Twilight was still stupefied as she used her magic to pick up what looked to be a Heliotrope and examined it closely.

“The same way you get your books, through favors and royal duties with the princess. As for your when I started stashing gems; I have always done it, but it wasn’t until the events of my just recently I started to understand the importance of self-control. After my greed fiasco, I did everything in my power to never become that monster again. At that time this meant stop being greedy, but the question was how?

Since both hoarding revolved around me taking things, the easiest solution was just that. I called ownership to nothing, I took nothing unless requested for someone else of course, and it even got to the point where I would refuse gifts. Do you know how hard it is to refuse a gift from Rarity? It felt like I was ripping my heart out and stopping on it. Anyways, at first it seemed to work, but then something started to happen. The emotions and feelings from back then returned and everything I saw I wanted to take again.” Twilight looked up at Spike from the gem before putting it back into the container. The morning sun started to cut through the window of the library introducing a new beautiful day.

The light from the rising sun beamed down onto Twilight signaling that it was time to begin the day’s chores. “Spike, I don’t mean to sound rude but I didn’t realize how long we have been up. We need to hurry and get started or you may be late for your date with Rarity this afternoon.” The Violet mare had already pulled three different books off of the shelves before she could even finish her sentence. The mention of Rarity’s name was more than enough to lift the young dragon’s attitude and heart.

In a matter of seconds Spike had stashed away his mini hoard of gems and minerals before rushing head first into his chores. Cleaning, organizing, and whatever else Twilight willed Spike to do at her whim. As the morning went on it remained uneventful for the mare and the dragon with the exception of a few spell mishaps that turned spike multiple rainbow colors. Finally noon had arrived and the young dragon was putting away last of Twilight’s books when a knock on the door caught Twilight and Spikes attention.

“Spike, I’ll get it.” Twilight said, unbelievable to Spike that she was pulling away from her book to do something else; even if it was to simply answer the door. Twilight opened the library door revealing grey fashionista with a distraught look on her face. “Oh, hello Twilight dear I’m so glad it was you who answered the door. I really must speak with you before I take my little Spikey-wikey out on this picnic.” Rarity said, stepping back while signaling Twilight to follow and close the door behind her.

“Rarity is something the matter?” The Violet mare quickly closed the door before spike could learn who it was that she was talking with. After which Twilight moved closer to Rarity who she could tell was hesitant to continue.

“Twilight dear, I don’t think I can go through with this. I know we both had come to an agreement it was best for me to let Spike-wikey down sooner than later, before his feelings truly are hurt. I’ve even consulted in you about my feelings for him, but I don’t think I can do this. I have never had any trouble turn down a stallion or two in the past, but every time I think of my Spikey-wikey; I just don’t know anymore.” The look Rarity’s face grew from distraught to despair as she imagined the how hurt Spike would be after their picnic.

“Rarity calm down! If it this is getting to you so much than don’t do it; instead just have a lovely picnic in the park.” Twilight replied hoping to avoid another one of Rarity’s overdramatic moments. “Rarity, you have grown closer to Spike than you tend to let on sometimes, and closer than he seems to realize. I only suggested you do this before something happen that will truly hurt one of you, and if this very idea is eating away at you that badly than simply talk to him. You never know what might happen if you simple listen to Spike.”

Twilight gave Rarity a reassuring smile before the two entered to the library. Spike met the two mares at the door; his eyes lit up at the sight of the White mare. “Hey, Rarity I didn’t expect to see you here. I thought we were meeting at the park…that is not to say I’m not glad to see you here.” Spike did his best to not let a large grin appear on his face, but it was obvious to both the mares that he was failing at it.

“Well you see darling that was the plan at first, but then I thought it would be more charming if we were to walk there together. Alas, I have seemed to forgotten our picnic basket, would you care to join me on the walk back to my boutique Spike?” Rarity’s voice seemed to hold an alluring touch to Spike which made his reply a near instantaneous yes. With a finally farewell to their Violet friend, the Drake and White mare were on their way back to the boutique.

The conversation between Spike and Rarity was a mixture of both idle chatter and random flirtation from both sides. While cutting through the market place Spike froze in his tracks as he noticed there was another drake standing no more the ten feet away from Sugarcube Corner. The dragon in height was no taller than Celestia herself, and its scale were as black as the abyss. The drake’s pupils were bloodshot red which looked as if they were staring into Spike’s very soul.

A feeling of fear started to grow inside of Spike, a similar fear that was once brought to him by the dream he had pushed to the back of his head. “Spike-wikey, darling what is wrong? “ Rarity had called out; she was standing several feet ahead of Spike looking down to him. Spike looked from the dragon to Rarity, and family at his surroundings. To his surprise not a single pony paid the drake a mind; it was as if he wasn’t even there.

“Spikey-wikey?” Rarity said once again, but Spike’s attention went back to the Black scaled drake which simply gave spike grin that sent shivers down his spines just before vanishing as a pony passed between it and spike. “Darling, what is it do tell me!” Rarity was now stepping closer to Spike, with worry nothing less than evident on her face. “I..it is nothing Rarity, maybe I’ve just been working too hard and it is finally getting to me.” Spike gave the fashionista one of the biggest smiles he could before he started to flex in order to quell any worry the mare had.

The rest of the walk to the boutique and park was as uneventful as the walk originally began. At the park Spike and Rarity agreed to have their picnic in a more isolated part so they could enjoy their picnic without having too many wondering eyes go in their direction. After all it was no secret that Spike liked Rarity, and neither was it a secret that the While mare was looking for her prince charming. Everything about their current situation screamed date, and while the ponies of Ponyville may seem to be of very open minds; a dragon and a pony couple was something none of them even imagine could be possible.

Rarity walked around surveying the area looking for exactly the right spot to lay out their blanket. The drake watched the mare move around finding little things wrong with each spot, but he paid little mind to that. The dragon’s eyes seemed transfixed with the way Rarity’s hip swayed back and forth as she walked. His eyes followed the pony’s movement and form; seeing curves in the mare he was fixated with that he had never noticed before. “Spikey Wikey dear, what are you doing?”

Rarity called out to the drake breaking his transfixion with her hips and curves, and now creating a red blush on his face from embarrassment. “Well, umm you see…I…” Spike could not come up with a worthwhile excuse as to why he was staring at the mare. “Spike come sit down, you’ve just been standing there for ten minutes dear.” Rarity was patting on the blanket by her side signaling for him to sit. “Ten minutes, but you were just moving everywhere looking for a spot to set up at?” Spike stated as he moved into place noticing that she had also unpacked the picnic basket and set everything on the blanket in a neat design.

Everything was arranged in a way that seemed to draw Spikes attention to it even more than it shoul. Spike continues to study the layout of the food and gems on the page before looking to Rarity. “The Golden mean!” Spike said out of nowhere catching Rarity by surprise.

“Spikey wikey, you know the golden mean?” Rarity asked using her magic to pick up a ruby from a bowl that was half the size of the picnic basket itself; in which she proceeded to feed to him before you could answer.

“In mathematics and the arts, two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity is equal to the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller one. To a visual artist and designer the golden mean is known as the Divine or Golden proportions, and any work that is built off of it is believed to be more. You have the bowl of rubies sitting right there in front of us, and right next to it are fours sandwiches in two stacks of twos. It could just be me, but the combined width of those two rows of sandwiches seems to be equal to that of the bowl. Now just above the sandwiches you have…. Well you get my point, and just to toss this out there; the bowl is a tinted green. Which as you know green is the complement to red, and is making these rubies stand out as well as making them looked much more delectable to me.”

Spike reached into the bowl for another ruby while Rarity simply looked back and forth between the layout of the Picnic and Spike. The mare didn’t know what to be more astonished by; the fact that the little dragon who was supposed to be a baby knew what he did, or the fact that from what she could tell he was right. “Spike, where did you learn all this? Did Princess Celestia or Twilight teach you that? I must say I am quite impressed; I mean I study and use the golden mean a lot when it comes to the design, but I never really stopped to look out how it affected me outside of my art.”

Spike stopped right before the ruby could even enter his mouth. How did I know that; did I over hear Twilight studying? No, I don’t pay her much mind when she goes into a studying frenzy. Everything Princess Celestia taught me was things to assist Twilight; like cooking and cleaning. The drake’s mouth was slowly closing during his thoughts; even to the point he didn’t realize that the Violet maned mare was scooting closer to him.

Spikes gaze was now caught in the ruby he had in his hand, but what he saw shocked the drake. Inside of the gem was the same Black drake from earlier, or better yet its head. The Black drake had a heinous grin on its face which caused spike heart slow down to nearly a single pump a second. “Spike………” A voice said inside of the drakes head as the Violet maned mare slowly leaned in closer. “Spike…..we’re coming to play.” The voice continued right as Rarity’s lips landed on his cheek.

“Darling that is for giving me such a wonderful picnic; even though we did more talking than eating.” Rarity said as she stood up and began to pack the uneaten sandwiches and gems; and also hide the blush on her face. Breaking dual layered shock to realize the park was dark, and the last bit of the sun was sinking into the horizon. Spike attention turned to Rarity who had finished packing on the food in the basket and then levitated it in front of Spike. “I want you to take it dear; you can eat it later on tomorrow for breakfast or dinner, and please give Twilight the sandwiches if you do not like them.” Spike to the basket into his claw before looking back down at the ruby which looked like an ordinary ruby once again.

“T…thank you Rarity and I had a great time just being around you. Would you like for me to walk you back to your boutique?” Spike dropped the ruby into the basket before looking to Rarity once again.

“No darling, you had back to the Library as quick as possible; you know how twilight gets which you’re out late. I’m going to sit out here a little while longer and watch beautiful moon rise. I have something I need to think about anyways, and being in the boutique will more than likely put my mind to my work.” The White mare laid herself back down on the blanket smiling at the young dragon before turning her attention to the stars. Spike hesitated to leave; not wanting to just leave her alone in the park, but her smile reassured him that it would be OK.

This night was different from any other Spike have had in his life, but he couldn’t fully put his mind on why. Luna’s moon was beautifully place in the sky; full and translucent with many lovely stars around it lighting the dark ultramarine blue that was the night sky. When the young dragon was at the side of the lovely fashionista time stood still, and he replied the picnic over in his head as he walked through a Ponyville that was resting peacefully under the moons beauty.

“Spikey-wikey, where are you going?” A voice inside of the Purple dragon’s head broke the tranquility the dragon was in. Spike froze in his steps quickly surveying the area hoping to find somepony who could have called his name. His pupils widened allowing the dragon to define his surroundings better with the least amount of light available. Sadly as he feared he found no other living being around at that very moment.

“I’m over here, no wait I am here. Behind you! Beside you! Under you! I AM YOU! Hahahaha, Don’t worry Spikey; you’ll see me again very soon and then we shall talk.” The Tone and Direction of the voice changed as Spike continued to look around frantically; until finally stopping after the voice’s last statement which caused his heart to speed up and even skip a beat.

“Hey, Spike is that you?” Another voice called out to the young drake, but this one was recognized almost instantly by the purple drake. Just above Spike speeding towards him was a rainbow maned Pegasus. The Purple drake’s eyes widened as he already foresaw how she was going to land; no not land, but crash. Spike lowered himself onto all four limbs taking the stance of a predator that was about to strike out at his prey from the perfect ambush, but his mind set was not that of offensive; instead defense.

The young dragon knew if he started to flee now; Rainbow dash would only change her trajectory and may even increase her speed to catch up to him inevitable crashing into him like she so often does twilight. If he just stands there then he’ll just become her crash landing pad at the speed she was moving now. The Cerulean colored Pegasus was getting closer by the second causing the dragon to quickly count down until he finally had his window of opportunity. Mere seconds away from colliding into the drake; Spike in a great burst of speed and agility dashed away from the Cerulean colored Pegasus leaving nothing but a cloud of dust behind.

Spike stopped a few feet away from where he originally was; looking back to his surprise Rainbow Dash had made a complete stop not far away from where he was originally standing.

“Spike….what was that? You’ve never moved that fast before; it was pretty awesome, but still not as fast as me.” Rainbow Dash’s expression was a mixture of shock and a look that said she was impressed; even if she wouldn’t emit it.

“Sorry Rainbow Dash, it is just…well let’s just say I have something on my mind and you caught me off guards.” Spike rubbed the back of his head right next to his spine while putting a big smile on. He did not want to explain to the Pegasus that he thought she was going to crash into her due to her love of speed and lack of control, but this did raise a question in the back of the drake’s mind. If she has that level of control…does she crash into Twilight on purpose?

“It is OK Spike, I can only imagine especially after your date with Rarity today. You must really be hurting, but I would expect Twilight would be comforting you instead of you being out here.” Rainbow Dash was trying her best to be sincere which confused the drake.

“You knew about our date, and why would I be hurting from it?” Spike gave
Rainbow Dash a puzzled look as he folded and his smile changing into a frown.

“Yea, you know because Rar…wait. Rarity didn’t…..Never mind forget that I said anything.” The Cerulean mare was now laughing nervously; lying was not one of Rainbow Dash strong suits and she could tell by looking at Spike’s face. His puzzlement had turned to suspicion which was causing her to slowly drift backwards before she said anything more. “Well Spike, it has been fun, nut I’m on not patrol of the weather team, so I have to get going. Talk to you later Spike…much later.”

“Hey, wait a minute!” Spike yelled as the Pegasus was taking off into the sky. A voice inside of the young dragon was telling him she that she was hiding something and to quickly grab before she could disappear into the clouds. Spike closed his eyes and reached out his arm gently closing his claws.

“Ummm, S…S…SPIKE!” The Purple drake eyes flew open when Rainbow Dash called his name. His arm and claw had grown to the size and length of a full grown greed dragon. His claw wrapped around all of Rainbow Dash’s body only leaving her head out in the open.

“SPIKE, HOW DID YOU DO THIS? THIS IS COMPLETELY AWESOME! 20% COOLER THAN ANYTHING I’VE SEEN BEFORE!” Even though she was constricted by a dragons claw Rainbow Dash could not contain herself. She had only seen Spike change his size once, and it didn’t end well for Ponyville. “Spike can you do this with any other body part? How did you do this? Why haven’t you done this before?” Rainbow Dash attacked the purple dragon with question after question even after he let her go and returned his arm to normal.

Rainbow Dash followed him all the way back to the library where Twilight stayed up waiting for the young drake to return. He could not get the Cerulean mare to let go of what she called; “The Crusher Claw.” She even tried to get the dragon to make his claw or another body part to grow, but Spike constantly refused to do so. It was obvious to Spike that the subject of interest had completely changed for the Rainbow maned pony; to the point that almost anything that wasn’t about the subject matter was literally completely.

Twilight Sparkle walked in circles a few feet from the door worried sick about the baby dragon. It is OK Twilight he is probably sleeping with Rarity.. wait no I mean at Rarity’s Boutique. I know who he left with, and neither one of them are the type to just go and get into trouble. The Violet colored mare tried to calm herself by taking deep breaths and convincing herself everything was alright, but her eyes never left the front door of the library.

Spike placed one claw on the door handle of the library, but he hesitated to open it. The little dragon already knew what expect when he opened the door, so the question now was; what is the lesser of two attackers? Twilight’s lectures on me being late, or Rainbow dashes can you grow this and that bigger questions. Spike took another look at the Cerulean mare that was still caught up in both asking questions and talking about how cool the growing thing was. Spike’s sight changed from the mare’s face to her well-toned legs and thighs.

Rainbow Dash’s curves are more dynamic than Twilight's who curves are more rounded and soft. Plus her plot has more of a bounce and jiggle effect when she walks which I don’t even think she realizes. On the other hand Rainbow Dash probable has more muscle control over her plot and could probably sque……Wait…What in the hay am I thinking about? Spike turned back facing the door before lowering his head before opening the library’s door and walking in.

“WHERE IN THE HEY HAVE YOU BEEN, DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I HAVE BEEN?” Spike was lifted off the ground by Twilight’s magic and levitated face to face with her. Twilights eyes held a mixture of relief and anger for the young dragons return.

“Hey, Twi….I think I’ll catch you two later.” The Cerulean Pegasus had gone unnoticed by Twilight until she had made her presence known.

“Oh, um hi Rainbow Dash how are you.” The Violet mare set the little dragon the drake down on the ground.

“Twilight, can I get the lecture tomorrow? I’m a little bit too tired to stay awake through it.” Spike was fidgeting with his claws and was doing his best not to look directly at the violet mare. The thoughts of Twilight’s plot were still fresh in his mind, and the drake knew he wouldn’t be able to keep his eyes from exploring Twilight’s form and figure.

“Fine, but first thing in the morning I am giving the lecture of your life! I bought you a new basket, blanket, and pillow. They are upstairs in the room and are twice as big as the old one.” The Violet mare lifted the drake up again giving him a good night hung before putting him down on the first step and turning back towards Rainbow Dash.

*******

The purple dragon twisted and turned on the hard limestone floor of a dark and abysmal cave. Ok, let’s just get this over with; the drake thought to himself as he stood up and started down the path which led to the blood river at the base of the canyon.

“Spike….Spike….come!” A voice called to the drake as bubbles started to form and burst in front of him in the blood river. The bubbles formed and burst at what seemed to be random, but with closer examination the bubbles were forming a line. The dragon hesitated to step into the river; after all it was just the night before he had this dream a third time with the special guest appearance.

“Come….commmmme.” The voice this time was rougher and more commanding, but still Spike refused to step into the River of blood again.

“NO, STOP IT PLEASE THIS IS SO UNCOUTH!” A feminine voice came from the direction that the bubble trail was leading; a voice that was all too familiar to Spike and sent chills down the drake’s spine causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

“LET GO OF ME, DO YOU HEAR M……..AHHH NO DON’T STICK THAT THERE!” A second feminine voice rose as first died down into muffled screams and moans, and just with the first was unmistakable.

“TWILIGHT…RARITY, BUT HOW…WHY?” The dragon yelled as he jumped into the shallow river and ran following the trail of bubbles like his very life depended on it.

It felt like hours had past, but there was no end to the blood and stone, but the moans of the two mares continued to get louder even to the point where it blocked out the sound of Spikes running in the river. Spike nearly tripped over his own claws trying to stop after what finally came into his sights. A large double door being held open by two stone dragons, but the contents of what was inside remained shrouded in darkness. Twilight and Rarity’s voices became un-muffled as the darkness within started to take shape and form.

Twilight was being held up in the air by her forelegs while what could only be assumed was dragons licked her coat until it was cover completely in saliva. Their tongues slowly traversed over her form; wrapping around her hind legs and slowly slither their way upward to her marehood. The look on Twilight’s face turned to one of pleasure as her breathing became deeper; it was obvious to Spike that she Violet mare was enjoy the teasing that the dragons were doing.

Next to the Violet mare another started to appear; this pony was being held down struggling with all her might to free herself. “Get your grimy claws off of me…wait no don’t tick them the…ahhhhh.” Tears came flowing down from the mares Azure colored eyes as her plot started to jerk and rotate around uncontrollably. “G...GET YOAAAAUR CLAAAAAA..OU..AAAAT.” The mare tried speaking, but her words were broken by her moans and sniffles. When finally the white mare seemed capable of pulling herself away from the dragon holding her down; the demonic creature wrapped both of its claws around her hip, and dragged her all the way back into him before starting to thrust forward.

Rarity’s screams of pleasure and pain sent Spike into a frenzy; the little drake size began to drastically increase. His eyes turned as bloody red as the river he stood in; his claw became sharp enough the pierce the strongest metals in the worlds. When Spike Finally stopped growing his sheer alone rivaled that of Cantorlot in height, weight, mass, and length. Still, compared to the stone dragon, the door way, and the canyon he stood in; he was no different than Big Mac compared to the Apple family farm house.

Spike raised his head releasing a massive roar causing boulders the size of ponies to fall from the canyons cliffs; as well as making the river ripple and splash as if it was afraid of him at that very moment. The massive dragon took one step forward before pushing himself off with all the strength he had. The stone dragons started to close the door the closer Spike was getting to it before a “boom” was heard by the dragon; which shook the area causing more Rocks to fall.

Spike was moving too fast for the stone dragons to close the door before he could get it. Right before spike could pass the dimensions of the door itself; the dragon was not only brought to an abrupt stop, but was dragged all the way back to the beginning point by his tail. The doors closed completely in front of him blocking out any and all visuals or sounds that was once there. In a fit of rage Spike swung around to see who or what had stopped him from achieving his goal of saving his two most important mares.

“Glad you could make it hatchling; I’ve been dying to have a word with you.” The perpetrator was a black drake no bigger than Celestia or Luna. The drake closed its chuckling as the purple drake clapped its claws together before raising them high in the air. “Oh, Spikey… Do you lust over those two mares this badly? I guess what Valtheerin said is true. Nothing is impossible for his bloodline; even lusting over ponies seems to be possible. Not that I ever doubted that in the first place; just look at wha….” Before the drake could even finish his sentence; Spike slammed his claws down onto the Black dragon with his entire might cracking the ground and scatter the blood with the force of the blow.

“Oh hatchling, I see that we won’t be able to have a conversation if you remain like that.” The strange dragon chuckled as the monstrous Spike removed his claws to see him unharmed by the attack. Before The Purple dragon could prepare for a second attack the Black drake had vanished right before his eyes.

“Hey hatchling, look up here!” The drake was floating upside down just above Spike’s head, and with one claw tapped Spike’s longest spine. Within an instant, Spike reverted back to his original size and fell down to the ground landing on his sides before curling into a ball.

“Ouch, w..what happened to me?” Spike felt like his bones had shattered from the impact on the ground; his arm, his leg, and his head hurt uncontrollably, and do to the river it was impossible to tell whether or not if either was bleeding through his scales.

“Glad to see you join me mentally little hatching, and to answer your question what you just experienced was a combination of un-mentored age and your “Valruu”. The drake said walking closer to Spike.

“My what, and mentored what?” The pain he was feeling slowly subsided allowing Spike to stand and face the drake. “More importantly, who are and why am I seeing you everywhere?” His voiced held a hint of fear in it, but that had started to subside after he remembered Twilight and Rarity were beyond the door.

“Who am I; well I am me of course?” The drake took a bow before walking into spokes line of sight of the door. “Oh, I would forget about that door if I was you. That door won’t open it unless those two statues choose to open it, and take my advice; they won’t open it for you.” The drake moved closer to Spike and placing his face right dead in front of Spike’s.

“You know, that is not answering my question… Who are you, and why are we here?” Spike started to back away from the drake slowly. “Also why are Twilight and Rarity here? Tell me what is going on!” The Purple drake yelled.

“This is going to be easier than I already imagined it would be.” The drake chuckled again and gave Spike a large grin. “It has been many centuries since I last played the Chelphroon for another, so I guess it would be nice to be able to do it one more time. If you must call me some then let it be, Damien” Damien sat back onto his plot looking at Spike. “Now for your next question; what you just did was you Valruu… I’m sorry I mean Growth spurt. It is an ability obtained by every dragon after they reach the Gate of Greed. It allows us to change our size, and even shape for some dragons at will, and most dragons use it to remain smaller then what they actually are; even the gigantic ones like the dragon you met in the Everfree forest is much larger than what you saw….”

“Wait…what are you talking about? Gate of Greed, Growth spurt ability, and how did you know I met a dragon in the Everfree forest?” Spike said interrupting the dragon before he could go any further.

“That’s right, you never had the enlightenment stage of your life, so your intelligence level would be what; that of a fourteen or fifteen year old pony.” Damien said to himself as he rubbed his temple with two claws. “So I’m going to have to start all the way from the beginning; aren’t I…do you even know where dragon eggs come from? Sadly I already know the answer.” Damien looked back up at spike before taking a deep breath and sighing. “It doesn’t matter how much I explain to you, because you never had your Enlightenment stage; so there is no guarantee you’ll fully understand what I am saying.

“How about you stop beating around the bush and try me!” Spike replied with a frustrated look on his face.

“Fine, I won’t tell you everything, but I’ll start with what you missed out on; the enlightenment stage. First let me ask you something spike, do you know the age conversion rate between pony and dragon years; as well as the growth rate form hatchling to young adult and so on? “Damien asked; his blood red eyes dead looked on the Hatchling.


“No I don’t, but I always wonder that myself.” Spike simply replied.

“There is no set number because we count years no different than ponies do. What is different is when we start counting age. A pony starts counting time of its offspring after its birth and such, but we dragons don’t start until the enlightenment age begins. The enlightenment age is when an un-hatched dragon spends between the next 50 – 800 years in a formless state of meditation inside their eggs. We dragons are creatures connected to the world on a magical basis do to this fact.

A dragon’s egg soak in the magic of the world around them even before the body has constituted itself into a solid mass; our minds and essence is connecting with the natural world. We are learning and growing far before we even hatch. We are defining ourselves and our thoughts; so when we finally hatch we know who we are, and what we are. We understand our bodies and how they work, because we are there for the constructions of our own bodies. You, you were not Spike; you were simply hatched through Unicorn magic, so your birth was the actual equivalent of a new born baby; but do to your draconic heritage you were always a few years smarter than the foals around you.” Damien stood up and walked much closer the hatchling.

“It was your draconic heritage that gave you the advantage you needed to be able to learn and understand cooking, musical composition, and even most recently giving you the eye to see design. A regular newborn hatchling intelligence level is at worst the equivalent of an educated pony reaching their mid-life; oh and as for your second half. A dragon remains a baby for the first 200 years of its hatched life, and you can figure out the formula; it is every 200 year. So, Spike are there any questions?

“Yea, why didn’t I have a enlightenment age?” Spike didn’t know if he believed what he was hearing, but something in his blood was telling him that it was all true.

“That is a story for another time, but for now it is time for you to awaken hatching. Oh and here is a gift for Twilight, from us. Do be sure to tell us how much she enjoys it.” Damien walked over to Spike and placed a single claw between on the tip of the young drake’s nose. As with the last time, the world shatters around Spike dropping him into complete darkness.

*********

“Spike, it is time to get up! We have a busy schedule today remember we are going with to meet Pinkiepie and Fluttershy for breakfast.” Twilight climbed out of bed and walked over to the mirror.

A strange burning sensation ran from the tip of Spike’s tail, to the top of his head. Spike heard Twilight’s call but refused to open his eye; instead he twisted and fidgeted in his bed. T..this feeling, I have felt this feeling before, but not this strong before. It is clouding my m… what is that smell and why is it getting stronger?

“Oh come on Spike, get up. This is what you get for staying out so late at night.” The Violet mare made her way over to the sleeping drake.

The smell…i..it is Twilight, and it is getting stronger; is she getting closer? No, the scent is over powering.. I’m burning up… “Twilight, can you check my temperature…I don’t feel too well.” Spike responded without opening his eyes, or even moving.

“Sick, sure you are Mr. But I’ll play along.” Twilight replied as she lend over Spike placing one hoof onto his forehead. Spike quickly Twilight by the hoof and pulled her down onto him. “SPIKE WHA…..” He continued to pulling the surprised mare into a deep and passionate kiss. Spike’s claw slid up her hoof and around to her back. His tongue slithered its way into her mouth where it wrapped around and gently massaged Twilight’s tongue during the kiss.

W…what is going on? Spikes kissing, but why is Spike kissing me? Better question, why haven’t I pushed away yet? I can’t be en…..Oh my Celestia…..that is his tongue. I didn’t realize it was so long and where did he learn to use it like this… w…..what else does he know how to do wi…. No twilight this is wrong.

Spike broke the kiss pulling his tongue from Twilight’s mouth followed by a single strand of saliva connecting the two. His claw slid lower and lowers until it finally rested on her plot which made her cheeks tor pink.

“S..spike, what are you doing? We can’t do this!” Twilight said in a low voice that could rival Fluttershy’s voice. Spike’s eye finally opened; his bloody red pupils stared deep into her violet eyes.

The market place was booming with life; much more so then normal or so Spike thought as he sat with Fluttershy, Pinkie pie, and Twilight outside ‘The Barn House Eat’em. Twilight sat across from Spike who seemed to do everything in his power not to look directly at the violet mare. While Twilight on the other hand never took her eyes off the young drake; her eyes filled with a mixture of disgrace and discontent.

“Um., Twilight. If you don’t mind me asking; I understand if you do and I’m sorry, but is there something wrong?” The tinted golden colored mare asked while trying not to hide behind her mane.

“Uhhhh, n..no not at all; why do you ask?” Her eyes never leaving the purple drake as she responded towards Pinkie pie instead of Fluttershy.

“Well maybe it is just me, and that’s entirely an option and all, but both you and Spike have been acting weird since we arrived here.” She was no longer able to stop herself from hiding under her mane.

Twilight closed her eyes before taking a deep breath. “Is that so…well I guess…” She released a sigh while opening her eyes and shifting her attention to Fluttershy.

“Oooooh, wait don’t tell me! You two were having a staring contest weren’t you?” Pinkie Pie asked as she moved into Twilight’s face.

“No we are not having a staring contest Pinkie Pie. How about we just say there were some events that transpired this morning that has me concupiscen… I mean laciviou…. No I mean flustered: Yes flustered is what I meant to say.” Twilight looked down while pretending to cough, and hope no one caught on to what she was originally about to say.

“So…Spike, if you don’t mind me asking…um how did your date with Rarity go?” Fluttershy asked softly as he turned towards the purple drake who was simply staring at Twilight.
“You too, Fluttershy? Please tell me who else knew about our date, because I thought Rarity and I had agreed to keep it quiet.” Spike replied still staring at Twilight.

“What silly? We all knew; after all she did consult her closest friends on how she should let you do…….” Before Pinkie Pie could finish her sentence the pink mare had a mouth full of Twilight’s hoof.

“That is correct, RARITY who is your SPECIAL SOMEPONY asked us for a little advice.” Twilight continued where Pinkie Pie’s statement while stretching certain words in her sentence.
“What is going on here; that is the sec…..Twilight? Pinkie Pie? Fluttershy?” The world around the young dragon seemed to slow down until it completely stopped. Ever direction the drake looked; the world was as still as a painting done by the masters of old. Spike jump to his feet and slowly backed away from the table just to bump into a large figure which appeared out of nowhere.

“Well hello there hatchling, do you like my work? It was so noisy here, so I decided to give us some peace.” Spike did not want to look back; he instantly recognized the voice from his nightmares. The little dragon sighed before he tilted his head back to look towards the sky, but only met a pair of draconic eyes looking back down at him.

“Damien! W…what are you doing here…wait, did you just say you did this? “Spike turned around and backed away from the black drake until he hit the table.

“Yes, this is simple Time manipulation magic; child’s play to one of Valtheerin’s bloodline. You think the Sun and Moon are powerful, but their magic pales in comparison to that of Valtheerin. If he would only will it then this land would return to our kin once more and even the ponies greatest of magic would be useless against us.” Damien’s eyes became sharp and sinister as he spoke; the ground around him started to shake.

“The Sun and Moon….wait are you referring to Princess Celestia and Luna? Also, if the Dragon lord is truly so powerful where is he now?” Spike did his best to stand his ground, and not let the fact that Damien was sending waves of fear through every nerve in his body.

Dragon lord, the hatchlings blood is starting to respond and I only tapped into it once. This will be more fun then I original thought… maybe we should speed this little game up a bit. The black scaled drake gave a deep chuckle as he raised one of his hands into the air. “Hatchling, how about we play a little game; it is called ‘Sensual hearts’. Now pick a number between 1 and 6 and choose wisely.

“Y..you want to play a game? What kind of game, and better question why do I have a bad feeling about this?” Spike’s voice started to grow weak as fear of what the drake was going to do next completely over took him. “And what is the significant of the numbers? You can’t expect me to simply agree to something I have no knowledge of.” Spike’s eyes shifted to Damien’s clenched fist which simply hung in the air.

“Hurry spike, pick one through six or I’ll pick for you! Tick, tock, tick, tock the time is winding down against you.” Damien’s eyes grew black as night while a dark mist formed around his scaly body.

“Fine, I pick five!” He said as he lowered his body looking for a chance to make a run for it.

“Good choice!” Damien slammed his fist into the ground and the world around Spike cracked and shattered. Through the cracks and openings, darkness seeped into the world consuming everything until the purple drake was once again alone in a void of darkness. Within seconds sound of a mare’s voice singing could be heard in the void; followed by light breaking through the darkness. When the darkness was finally gone Spike found himself sitting on Rarity’s bed in the living quarters of her boutique.

Spike turns his head towards the bathroom door as he hears the sound of running water stop and the singing slowly getting louder until the door finally opens. The first think to emerge from the bathroom was the steam that had built up while the shower ran; followed by a gentle scent of Roses. Finally Rarity slowly walked out of the bathroom; her eyes closed, her soaked mane fallen gracefully over her head and around her neck, and a towel wrapped around the bottom half of her body covering her hind legs and tail.
The young drake eyes stayed transfixed on the mare as time seemed to slow down once more, but this time not by the power of Damien; instead by Spike’s own perception of time. Rarity’s eyes slowly opened meeting Spike’s eyes causing her to stop and freeze in place for what seemed like hours.

“Spikey-Wikey….when did you get here? I didn’t expect to see you until later this afternoon.” The violet mane mare did not move an inch nor did she take her eyes off of her draconic love interest.

“Now hatchling, let the game begin!” Damien’s voice echoed in Spike’s head blocking out anything Rarity was saying. “You want it, and you need it; she wants and, and she needs it!” The purple drake begin taking deep breathes while taking a claw full of the sheets that covered the mare’s bed. With each inhale the mare’s scent grew stronger to the point he could no longer hold back.

“Spikey-Wikey, darling are you ok?” Rarity moved closer to the drake while using her magic to quickly dry herself off with a second towel.

“I’m fine… m’lady, but there is something I must ask of you.” He let go of the sheets as he hopped off the bed and onto his feet. “Rarity, do you truly care for me? I mean the way I care for you? I would give you anything I have including the scales off of my very back if you wished it. I would go anywhere for you; from the badlands to the caverns that the Diamond Dogs infest.” His wad was turned in the direction of the bedroom window, but it was obvious that his eyes never reopened.

“Where is this from all of a sudden? You know I care deeply for you Spike… I’ll emit that I have questioned our relationship and even my feelings for you, but after our date I can truly say that I am ready to give you my all my little Spikey-Wikey.” She continued moving closer to the purple dragon. “Spikey-Wikey, you’ve chased after me for so long and now you have me; do you fear that you are going to lose me to some noble stallion?” She said before she nuzzled against the dragons cheek.

Spike turned his head turning her nuzzle into a deep kiss. Rarity… why is her scent so intoxicating? Without even realizing it; the drake had wrapped his arms around the mare’s neck and was gently pulling her onto the bed. Her taste… it is… so exhilarating. Spike’s tongue twisted, turned and moved chaotically inside of her mouth until it finally settled down after coiling around Rarity’s tongue. His eyes finally peeled open revealing his blood red iris to her.

*****
“Spike?” The three mares stared dumb founded at the drake that was no longer there.
“Um, w…what just happened?” Fluttershy asked quietly, but her demeanor stated she was ready to make a run for it.

“Ohhhhh, how did Spike do that? Wait, can he disappear or are we going to play hide and seek right now? I love hide and seek I want to be it; quick you girls run and hide!” The pink mare screamed as she bounced up and down.

“No Pinkie, this is not a game! Something is seriously wrong here; Spike has just disappeared mid-sentence right in front of us! “Twilight said as she stood up and walked over to spike once was. The violet mare examined the area carefully.

“Well I’ve never heard of a dragon simply disappearing, but if you think about it. I don’t hear much about dragons outside the usually; they are greedy, monstrous, territorial, violent, easily angered, and so on. Spike is none of those things though, so maybe Spike is a disappearing dragon? Ooooo that would be a great trick at parties! Hey Spike, if you can hear me; will you do this trick at parties?”

Twilight paid little attention to Pinkie pie at this point. Her only thoughts were on finding out what happened to her number one assistant. “I’m going to look around this area first. He has to be somewhere around here!”

Twilight searched for hours occasionally picking up more and more of her friends until five of the six mares where helping her look for the little dragon. With each hour that had passed Twilight grew more and more worried about her little assistant.

“Well darn, he isn’t at Apple acres, the market place, and the library.” The cowpony said as she scratched the bottom of her snout wondering where else he could be.

“I did a surveillance of Ponyville, and he’s not anywhere outside from what I can tell.” Stated the cyan Pegasus who floated just above the group.

“W.well you know we haven’t seen Rarity all day; maybe she can help us. If she is not that busy that is.” The tinted gold mare stated softly, but just enough for the cowpony to hear.

“Y’know that’s actually a good idea Fluttersy; heck I wouldn’t be surprised if we find the little guy there.” Applejack said in a cheerful tone.

“RARITY’S BOUTIQUE! YEA, THAT IS WHERE HE IS!” Twilight rushed off without a warning to the others. Her worry for Spike had overtook her completely over half the day had gone by with not a single sign or trace of Spike coming up anywhere they looked.

*****

Rarity slept peacefully in the arms of her purple dragon companion who simply stared down at her with a small smile on his face. The mare cuddle closer into his underbelly; drawn by the warmth it radiated due to the flame that burns within him. Spike nuzzled her gently before laying his head down to drift into a peaceful sleep.

“I really hope he is here.” Twilight said to herself before knocking on the door of the boutique. Twilight continued knocking on the door; each hit getting louder and harder until she was now beating on the boutique’s door.

“Ughh, I’m coming..” Rarity said in a low displeased voice.

“Don’t worry sleeping beauty, I’ll get the door and see what they want.” Spike said placing his claw onto her hoof before she could fully get up.

“Thank you Spikey-Wikey, you are so considerate.” Rarity said as she laid back down in the exact spot she sat up from. “Hurry back, this bed is so cold without you Spikey-Wikey.” Spike climbed out the bed and made his way to the bedroom door.

“I’ll return before you know it.” When Spike looked at Rarity he saw her glow a radiant aura of purple and green. The aura slowly erupted into a green flame completely covering the mare’s form, completely vanishes when the drake hears another banging on the boutique’s door.

“I’m sorry, I’m afraid the boutique is closed at the moment, it will re-open tomorrow at the usual times.” Spike said as he open the front door of the boutique revealing the surprised faces of four out of five of the mares.

“Spike!” Twilight leaped forward grabbing the purple dragon in her arms. “What happened to you, and how long have you been here?” The violet mare held the drake tightly as she slowly started to calm herself.

“Told ya that the little fella might be here.” The cowpony said as she walk up next to the two. “I mean shoot, we should have come here first anyways; he haven’t seen Rarity all day.”

“Spike how did you do that disappearing trick anyways, can you show me?” Pinkie asked as she hoped up next to him.

“Yea, how did you do that Spike and why are you here at Rarity’s boutique anyways; If you don’t mind me asking Spike.” Fluttershy asked quietly under her breath, but before Spike could respond Rarity had called out to him.

“Spike darling, what is taking so long? The bed is getting very cold without you.” Rarity’s words had a sultry tone in them that sent shivers down the five mare’s manes.

Twilight looked down at Spike as she pulled away from him. “Spike, what is going on here?”

“Hey Rarity, there are more ponies down here then just Spike!” Rainbow dash called out. The cyan mare made her way to the staircase, but stopped before she ascended up them. “Oh dear Celestia, what is that smell? What have you two been doing Spike?”

“Well you see, ummm Rarity was burning some incense; yea incense that is what that smell is.” Spike said blushing as he took a couple steps back. “As far as me getting here… well that is a bit more complicated.”

“Please dear, do tell because I myself was wondering that too before our little event started.” Rarity descended down the stairs wearing a see through night gown. “Hello girls, it is always great to see you.” Rarity was once again surrounded in a green flame which seemed to gorw stronger the closer she got to Spike.

“Um, Rarity are you ok? Spike asked as he looked around at the others who seemed oblivious to the flame; including the mare herself.

“I’m fine, well actually I feel amazing my darling. With that said, you still need to answer Twilight’s and mine questions.” Rarity responded while nuzzling Spike’s cheek.

“Well Spike, tell us what happened this morning and how you disappear?” Twilight asked again.

“Go on Spike, tell them what happened….” Damien laid there smugly on the ground a few feet away from the group that surrounded the young dragon.

“Well you see…..ladies…..”

“Tell them how a dragon that only you can see and hear moved you through the dimensional planes and placed you on the bed of what can now be considered your mate in every sense of the word.” The black drake chuckled as the purple drake continued, or at least tried to.

“You see, you remember…..”

“Tell them how I forced you to pull the one known as Twilight on top of you and caused you to suck on her tongue.” Damien was now chuckling even harder as he watched the mare’s close in even closer on Spike.

Dear, Sweet Celestia… I can’t let Rarity know about that! She would never forgive and this whole only me seeing dragon thing makes me sound crazier than Pinkie Pie. What am I going to do, everypony is waiting on a explanation and the truth is just too far out there… Spike’s breathing started to increase and the fire in his body started to burn hotter than usual do to the nervousness that he felt.

“Calm down hatchling I’ll get you out of this, but you have to repeat ever word I say. Now listen closely and put on your best black Star Sapphire gem face.” Damien said as he got up and walk next to the little drake.

“Well, you see Twilight, I am a dragon and dragons are creatures of magic in their nature; even more so then Unicorns believe it or not. Add onto that the fact my fire itself is not that of actual fire, but the essence of magic being used to create fire. So my thought was; “what exactly else am I capable of?” So, I tried a few things.” Spike stopped and glared at the rainbow mane Pegasus. “Our dear friend Rainbow dash here learned first claw one of the things I could do.”

“OH, YEAH!” The cyan Pegasus yelled as she lifted up into the air and making exciting gestures. “Spike I still can’t believe you are able to enlarge ANY part of your body like tha…… Wait, have you told Rarity this?” The Cyan looked back and forth between the couple trying to hide her chuckle. “Never mind, I doubt your relationship has gone that far anyways.”

“Spike, what is Rainbow dash talking about, and better yet; what are you going on about? This is not answering our question and making little…..” Twilight stopped with her mouth hanging open as she watched the drake’s body stretch and grow.

Within seconds Spike towered over the main six ponies who all but Rainbow Dash stared in disbelief. He sat back slowly and carefully as to not hit his head on the ceiling of the first floor and waited on a response from someone, anyone. Maybe this was a bad idea Damien.

“Oh now hatchling, this is where this really gets good.” Damien eyed each of the ponies before turning back to Spike. “This is how this will go, the first to say something will be the white one, followed by the violet one. The yellow one will try to say something but will be cut off by the cyan one.

“Dear sweet Celestia, darling you can do something like this at will, with any part of your body? “ Spike simply nodded in surprise that Damien was correct on who would speak first. “This was that you doing this when….”

“No! That was naturally me, but I could make it any size I want. I guessed it was too small.” Spike blushed before cutting the mare off and turned an even deeper crimson in embarrassment of what he was saying.

“T..to SMALL? Darling I could only fit just one of the half way….I mean not even my mouth could….” Twilight coughed grabbing their attention.

“T..this conversation… What exactly was you two doing before we came here?” Twilight did her best to hide the embarrassment in her voice, but the blush on her faced said otherwise.

“Oh that…yes, well you see. My darling Spikey Wikey and I did a little lovers bonding this morning. I’m quite shocked at a dragon’s dexterity, and stamina; it is quite something amazing there were actual times I did think I could keep up.” Rarity said giggling to herself. If the glow around the purple mane mare went unnoticed before then it was definitely seen as bright as day now.

“Ummm Rarity…you….” Fluttershy looked away trying to not let her embarrassment take her.

“You two actually had SEX!” Rainbow Dash yelled as she flew snout to snout with Rarity. “I didn’t think you would give Spike the plot, let alone do it so soon!”

“Rainbow Dash must you be so uncouth about things? Yes, Spike and I made love… in the privacy of my own home and shop, what of it?”

Twilight eyed Spike while listen to her marefriend emit to his and her doings. Her heart felt like it was skipping every third beat and anger slowly rose in her, but she was not fully aware why it was there. “I think it is best we all head home now, and it is getting awfully late. Thank you girls for helping me find Spike, and… thank you Rarity for keeping him out of trouble, now come on Spike.”

Spike walked a few paces behind Twilight, with a full moon hanging high in the sky and beautiful stars as far as the eye could see. Yet as beautiful as the night was, the atmosphere around the two was all but beautiful. Twilight spoke not a single word since their departure from the boutique, and she didn’t need to; Spike knew her well enough to guess what the problem was.

“Twilight… are you going to say anything, or are you waiting to get to the library?” Twilight stopped in her track as soon as Spike finished his question, but did turn to look at the little dragon.

“Why did you do it, why did you kiss… me this morning Spike?” Twilight’s voice was low, but carried a hint of anger in it.

“Um yea, about that… Twilight there is something I need to tell you, but please don’t tell anyone else even the princess. I’ve been seeing things, a dragon to be specific and he has been doing things I can’t explain. Well honesty just about anything and everything he does and says I can’t explain, and it is getting worse. It started with simple dreams he was causing and then I was just seeing him around, but now he’s messing with the world around me.” Spike played with a rock with his claw as his tried to explain.

“First you are a intellect on magic theory for dragons and now you have been seeing dragon poltergeist… Spike, please tell me the truth; why did you kiss me this morning?” Twilight released even more anger in her voice this time yelling the question.

“Twilight that is the truth; I had no control over myself this morning and I had ever desire to… every desire to take you right there, as if you were my mare.” The young drake voice dropped as he looked down at the ground.

“Desire… you desire me now Spike? Then who is next; Pinkie Pie? Applejack? Fluttershy? Spike I never took you for the type to desire more than one mare especially after you finally have the one you spent so many years chasing after.”

“Wait, what? I have no interest in any of them and I love Rarity, and wha…..”

“What happened was not your fault, but the fault of a dragon spirit. Please, Spike just stop it already. I want to just go back to the library, oh and you’re sleeping down stairs tonight.” Before the violet mare could start back moving; a blast of green fire shoots into Spike’s hand. The fire formed into a letter from the princess in which Spike proceeded to read aloud.

“Dear Twilight Sparkle

A matter of great importance has come to my attention and I must speak with you as well as the Elements of Harmony ASAP. I can speak no more on the matter until we speak and person, and for safety reason Spike must be left behind, I am sorry Spike
Princess Celestia”

Spike lowered the letter looking up at Twilight who started on her way back to the library. Spike followed at an even slower pace than he did before causing him to reach the library fifteen minutes after Twilight did. The first thing Spike noticed when he stepped into the library was a basket just a few feet away from the door with a pillow and a blanket in it. The second thing he noticed was the library was completely dark which made him assume the mare went directly to bed after relocating his bed. With one large yawn, Spike grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around himself before falling face first into the basket and pillow.

“Now where did we leave off, ah yes! I explained the Enlightenment Age of a dragon’s life and I guess next I can explain a little history to you hatchling. I am well aware of all the pony history you know, but you know nothing of dragon’s history so I shall begin…” Spike and Damien floated in a void of nothing within Spike’s dream. The little dragon was paying Damien little heed as his mind was distract by the events of earlier that night.

“We dragon are the oldest and most ancient race to walk this planet. Our image was crafted by the dragon father’s claws himself and our purpose was to serve as guides and guardians of the other races that came afterwards. We accepted our role and purpose with great pride and honor, but I cannot deny the other. The other was deity that was believed to be there alongside the dragon father and by his word we were to honor and respect her as if she was him.” Damien’s claws glowed dark as he waved them around in the air to create hieroglyphics drawings in front of himself.

“As the dragon commanded it; we obeyed with all our pride and might put in place, but the other cared little for us dragons as she had begun to sculpt new life into this world in her own lily image. She had spent at least four centuries sculpting and in that time the dragon father filled the world with many type of dragons; Drakes, Wyverns, Wyrm, Cockatrice, Zmaj and after her creations was brought into the world; a new dragon slowly started to emerge known as to us dragons Kirin.” The hieroglyph drawn for the Kirin caught Spike’s attention almost instantly as it was the shape of a pony’s body with a horn.

“This other was the creature of ponies… WAIT, are you telling me that ponies are just another species of dragon?” Spike stared at Damien with disbelief in his eyes.

“What, no hatchling! Ponies were created by the other, and yes ponies are of a different species. This creature, the Kirin was the result of dragons and ponies mating; specifically Drakes and or Zmaj!” The black dragon had a grin on his as he revealed what a Kirin was.

“W…what? A pony and a Dragon could….have children? Wait, if this is true where is the evidence? Why isn’t there any Kirin around today?” Spike replied still in disbelief.

“If you would allow me to continue hatchling that will be answered fully, and why are there aren’t any in this day? How many ponies in this day and age is willing to attempt to befriend a dragon? How many is willing to travel into a dragon’s territory mad stand their ground with intent of gaining that dragons respect? These ponies fear us, and see nothing but mean, greedy, dangerous, and mindless beast looking for nothing more than to horde gems. Tell me after you matured and with your greed growth spurt; did all the ponies go back to treating you the same as you first arrived, or did some slowly begin to alienate you? Damien walked forward through the Hieroglyphs causing them to smear and disperse

The black drake stopped once he was face to face with Spike; in which he stared deep into the purple dragon’s eyes almost hypnotically. As the little dragon stared back what he saw shocked him. Anger, Lust, Greed, Pride, Gluttony, Envy, and Sloth; the seven gates a dragon must walk through to reach their next stage of maturity. As spike continued gazing into Damien’s eyes even more vision came to him, but these were of combat and war.

“The other created what you and these ponies call Alicorns. There might not be many now, but that is because the Dragon father favored us over the other. There were hundreds of them, and from them the other created the other three species of ponies! Alicorns showed little to no respect to the dragon father, or his commands; in fact his he deemed something forbidden they would do it just to show he had no power over them. The other did nothing to but encourage them to continue their behaviors and this enraged dragons greatly. Yet the dragon father would not allow us to respond, and simply remind us our duty was to guide and protect the new life that was brought into the world; including the disrespectful Alicorns!”

A black Aura surrounded Damien which caused Spike to step back in fear of what might happen next.

It wasn’t until late into the afternoon that Twilight and her friends reached Canterlot castle waiting to speak with Princess Celestia.

“Thank you for coming’ I know you are all wondering why I requested you all here, but I assure you that this is a matter of great importance concerning our dear friend Spike. You see, I first need to know has anything about him changed as of late.” Celestia said as she sat next to Luna staring down at the six mares.

“Well, not that I know of princess.” Pinkie pie responded as she rubbed her hoof against her snout.

“W…well, he has you know….been able to get bigger at will.” Fluttershy mumbled.

“I can’t say my darling Spikey-Wikey has changed much. He has grown a lot yes, but no really drastic changes.” Rarity stated as she held her head high.

“Does the Relationship between Spike and Rarity count as a changed?” Rainbow dash asked.

“Why in tarnations would that be the type of change the princess is looking for?” Applejack replied to Rainbow dash.

` “Wait, relationship? What relationship might that be?” The princess asked as she gestured towards Rarity to answer.

“Well you see, princess… Spike has had an affection for me for some time now and as of recently I decided to give it a chance.” Rarity said as a light blush appeared on her cheek

“I see, have his actions towards you or anything around him seem to change since you two have been together?” Luna asked.

“No princess, he has remind a gentlemen thick and through, but with all due respect. May I ask what is this all about?” The grey mare asked as she looked between the two.

“All will be explain in a little bit, but first we need to confirm some things before ho any further. How about you Twilight, you’ve been very quiet my most faithful student.” Celestia looked down at Twilight who looked away with a worried expression on her face.

After a few seconds had passed, Twilight sighed and began to tell Celestia everything; from the nightmares described to her by Spike, to the kiss they shared in his basket as well as his disappearing act and the talk they had right before the letter from the princess arrived. When she was finally done not a single pony spoke; everyone was still trying to process what they had just been told.

“Well, I think this is my queue to enter.” A familiar voice echoed through the throne room as it started to slowly feel with multi colored butterflies. The butterflies started to swarm right next to Celestia and solidify together into one large mass which eventually revealed itself to be the spirit of disharmony himself. “Well, hello there! Did you all miss me?”

“DISCORD!” The elements shouted all at once as the rushed to get between him and the princess.

“Protective aren’t they my sweet?” Discord said with a mischievous grin.

“My Sweet?” The 6 mares repeated.

“Calm down my little ponies, he means no harm, and can do none even if he wanted. He is only partially free from his imprisonment. Majority of his power is still locked away while is physical for is free to move as he wills it. As far as magic goes, he can only do basic things like levitate, teleport, and a minor in shapeshifting.” Celestia said.

“Wait, why is he eve n here, let alone free?” Twilight turned towards the Princess.

“The reason for his release is not of importance, but what is important is what he has to say about Spike. If discord is correct then Ponyville may be in great danger.” As Celestia spoke, Discord was taking his time to examine each of the main six before he started to chuckle.

“What is do funny goat head?” Rainbow dash yelled as she flew closer to Discord.

“Aren’t we the uppity one, down pony…. And be a good girl while the adults talk. Anyways, I assume you all know little to nothing about a dragons life spend and maturity rate. I mean besides they must practice greed to age properly.” Discord floated away from the group to an area that was a bit more spacious. Discord opened his mouth and pulled out a rectangular stick that was 24 inches long. He proceeded to grab both the top and bottom of the ruler puling it open into a chalkboard.

“Ohhhhhh, can you teach me how to do that?” Pinkie asked as she begin to bounce up and down.

“Maybe later Pinkie, I know many other tricks you would like to.” Discord held one claw before bending the tip of it back revealing the claw to be hollow and full of chalk. “Now shall we begin our lessons on dragons 101, and do please take notes everything I say will be on the final exam.”

“Hold on just a sec! Are we really about to sit here and trust anything the spirit of disharmony has to say?” Applejack said as she stepped forward and turned to the others.

“Well unless you know all about dragon kind, I don’t think we have much of a choice. I’m not saying we have to believe everything he says, but at least we can listen and make a sound judgment based on what he says.” Twilight sighed and nodded for Discord to continue.

“Now dragons go through seven stages of maturity, 8 if you count the enlightenment age; a stage which I have no doubt spike didn’t have. The first stage is greed; as you may or may not know the more dragon hordes the bigger he gets and the greedier he gets. This usually beat by isolating one’s self in a cave deep in a forest or mountain. Greed is the easiest stage of maturity to overcome and few falls to it. But those that do get isolate outside of dragon society due to their inability to control their own instincts Now that is not to say dragons deny their nature; if a dragon doesn’t horde responsibly then they will never grow. Greed is required absolutely for a dragon to age. .

Beyond greed, the rest of the stages can come in any order, but we shall focus on the one Spike is dealing with currently. From how you described it, Spike is dealing with lust next. To a healthily enlightened dragon this stage of maturity would be no harder to overcome then greed, but to one such as Spike; well let just say you got off lucky yesterday morning. Now you say he sees and hears a dragon spirit rhat only he can see; did he happen to tell you the dragons name Twilight Sparkle?” Discord pointed the chalk at the violet mare.

“No, he just says it can possess him and move him through dimensional planes.”

“Every guardian spirit can possess the dragon, but dimensional magic belongs to…. For that to be possible spike would have to be of the dragon father’s bloodline directly. Discord said as he ran his claw over his cheek.

“T…the dragon father, but he hasn’t been seen since the beginning!” Celestia started to take steps towards Discord.

“Yes, but that is a discussion we must save for later. Right now I must speak with the Element of Generosity.” Discord, turned to face the purple maned mare. “Rarity tell me how do you really feel about Spike?”

“What? I love my little Spikey-Wikey and believe him to be one of the best things in my life.” As the mare spoke her eyes slowly started to sparkle.

“So you have no doubts, no worries, and accept his love one-hundred percent?” Discord asked.

“Of course I do… what are you trying to get at Discord.”

“I want to show you something, all of you something through the eyes of a dragon.” Discord held his claw up while making the tip of his index finger touch the tip of his thumb and forming a circle. Discord blew into the circle cause bubbles in the shape of glasses to come out the other end and make their way to each of the mares faces.

“What the…. OMG RARITY, DISCORD YOU TO ARE ON FIRE.” Five out the six mares yelled as the jumped ready to attempt to put out the flames.

“Calm yourself that is not fire, but what is known as a Dragon’s soul. You see dragons don’t have the Luxury that ponies and other creatures of this world do when it comes to matters of the heart. A pony can fall in love, and do it more than once; a dragon cannot.” A bluish flame swirled around discord’s body intensely and from his chest a thin line shot to Celestia the wrapped completely around her body like as kin tight suit. “When two dragons fall in love their dragons souls connect together to create what is known as the line of fate, which is what you are seeing go to Celestia.

The line of fate is a unbreakable bond tying the two dragons together forever even after death making it impossible for a dragon to love another. Dragons learn about the dragon soul within their enlightenment age, and are taught by their parent to always choose wisely before giving their dragon soul to another. Now creatures like you ponies obviously possess no such thing, so when a dragon hands you their soul, the Line of fate becomes a linear connection binding their emotions and hearts to the one they gave it to and it reminds there whether they accept it or not. You, Rarity have a line of fate and a dragon soul connected to you the same as Celestia, but there is one significant difference between the two.

The dragon soul is simply attached to your body, which is why it looks like you are on fire. You have not accepted Spike’s love for you completely; unlike Celestia who has accepted mine and wears my soul like a second skin. Whether or not you accept is soul all depends on whether or not you truly love him. You have no obligation to him and could easily move on with your life, but he has already given you his soul. So no matter what you do, or where you go; he can never love no other but you; even long after you’ve died.”

“I…I can’t believe what I am hearing right now? T..this… how can dragons live such lives?” Rarity as she reached for the line of fate that shot to her body all the way from Spike who was currently still in Ponyville.

“Because, that is are nature! Dragons since the beginning always took things slower than other races because of our longevity. It takes five-hundred years for use to just move out of the baby stage of our life. By then a average dragon would have overcome at least three trials, have a decent sized horde, and would be looking for another who didn’t already have a line of fate connected to them. Spike didn’t have a Draconic upbringing, or an enlightenment period, and in all honestly… should have never even been able to hatched.

“Wait a minute Discord… Slow down, I still shocked at this whole “Your dragon soul and Celestia thing! Now you are telling me that my number one assistant shouldn’t have even hatched.” Twilight said as she rubs here hooves against her head.

“A dragoness lays 10 – 15 eggs, she must constantly keep them eggs monitored and on fire. The higher the eggs temperature is the more likely the hatchling is to be a girl and visa versa. Even with both the dragon and dragoness working together to monitor the eggs, the most that ever hatch are 3-4. A dragon egg that is in its enlightenment age will die in a matter of minutes if taken out of the flaming nest that the parents built for them. “Discord said as he snapped his claws which caused everyone’s bubble glasses to pop.

The group just stood there silent, none knew what to say or how to say it. Yet many more questions ran through each of their minds about dragons, about Spike, and about even Discord himself.

“All that doesn’t matter now anyways, the point is he is a living breathing sentient being now! He is facing the dragon trials like every dragon do and will receive the same reward if he passes them all, or if he fails. His mind will devolve back to primal instincts of the trial he failed, so if he fails the trial of lust….Rarity and Twilight shall be the first, but soon after he will go after every mare in Ponyville for starters. I personally think it would be nice to see Kirins walking around again; I miss those little dragon and pony cross breeds.” Discord said with a chuckle.


“WHAT?” The main six mares yelled simultaneously.

Celestia’s sun slowly lowered in the horizon, and no signs showed the return of Twilight and the others. While this didn’t please Spike; it didn’t break his heart either. The little dragon needed some alone time, or at best what he could get for alone time thanks to his new visitor. Right next to the entrance laid the black dragon simply known as Damien who eyed Spike intently and would simply grin every time spike looked in his direction.

Spike replayed event after event up to the current moment, which left him with many unanswered question and only one way to get them.

“Alright, enough is enough Damien!” The purple dragon said as he took a deep breath and stepped over to the larger and more composed dragon. “Who…what are you? I may not have met many dragons in my life, but the ones I did could not do a fraction of the things you can!”

“Hatchling, how many dragons have you actually met, and I mean really sat and traded tales of old with? Wait, I’ll answer it for you…NONE! Only dragons you spoke with were either casteless dragons like your friend on there in the forest who was willing to devour a homeless hatchling for touching his hoard, and other hatchlings like yourself who couldn’t teach you the true caste system of our kind if they tried.” The black drakes lifted his head and started to stare down the young dragon.

“That may be true but… that doesn’t explain who….” Before he could finish the black drake started violently shake and shiver as if something was attacking him from within. At a closer inspection he could see that the drake was slowly fading away piece by piece and was taking the area around him with him.

“Spike….” A soft voice echoed through the slowly vanishing room.

“…Not again!” Spike responded, this time finding himself in another empty void.

“We are finally through; we don’t know how but Damien has been blocking our connections with you.” A golden dragon said as her body took form within the void next to Spike. She was as tall as the mountain just outside of Ponyville. “Young one, you are no longer amongst ponies, so please don’t feel you must conceal your true form around me.” She said with a smile that felt almost motherly. Spike simply started at the dragoness dumb founded before looking at his claws and searching his body. Within seconds he turned his gaze back to the dragoness unknowing in how to respond.

“Oh, that is right; you’ve only been able to trigger it through Damien’s misleading guidance.” The dragoness chuckled and placed one claw over Spike, and with that she proceeded to raise it. This caused his body to physically grow back into the dragon of greed form. “There you go hatchling, such a beautiful one you are too. Now I’m afraid that all the pleasantries must be put aside for now because we have much to discuss and I don’t know how long I can keep Damien surpassed. Now, let us introduce ourselves; I am Eirene of Valtheerin blood and it is a pleasure to finally speak with you Spike of Valtheerin blood.” Eirene lowered her head as intent to bow to the drake. “It is only formal that you return the bow young one.”

Even at his greatest height, Spike still only came to the Eirene’s underbelly, the purple dragon lowered his head and introduced himself in the manner she just did before.

“Now hatchling before you asking questions let me finish speaking…. I am like Damien of Valtheerin; one of your Ancestor dragons. The most important thing to a dragon is their blood; no matter what happens, or how alone you may be physically. Thousands of your ancestor’s spirits live with you through your blood. You were never meant to walk these trials alone; greed, lust, and so on… We were supposed to be with you every step of the way offering you guidance, but up until a moment ago you finally answered our call to you.” The golden dragoness started passing back and forth as if she was trying to formulate everything she was trying to say before she said it.

No, not another crazy dragon! Why is this happening to me all of a sudden? Spike though, just to have his words play around him in stereo.

“C..crazy dragon? Please hatchling I would advise you from refrain from such thoughts! Not all of your bloodline is as Damien is; he lost it when Father Valtheerin refused to; no, that is not important right you. What is important is you catching up on knowledge you have missed for just about 100% of your life. I know Damien of Valtheerin has explained the enlightenment age of dragons to you, but he has barely explained your trials, and who you really are…. That is what I am here to do!” The dragoness said as she stopped and faced Spike with a fierce and passionate flame burning in her eyes.

*****

Twilight paced back and forth in her room at Canterlot castle trying to process everything she learned earlier today.

“Twilight darlin’ would ya’ll please calm down; I mean between you and Rarity my nerves are being wrecked just by watching you two.” Applejack said as she steps in Twilights path hoping to get to her.

“Sorry Aj, it is just thi… wait what are Pinkie and Rainbow doing?” Twilight said pointing her hoof in two mare’s direction.

“Look like she’s back, you owe me 10 big ones Pinkie Pie!” Pinkie wore a Fedora hat on her head and tilted a bit to the side while in her hooves was a black book.

“Nope the bet wasn’t who would come back first, but who would lose it first!” She responded as she looked in the book. “And since you voted Twilight, this means Rarity takes the lead!” Rarity laid on her panic couch in one of the worse panic attacks they have ever seen.

“Sugarcube, they are just being them. Now relax, everything will be alright Twilight.” Applejack assured the purple mare by placing one of her hooves on Twilight’s shoulder.

“Thank you Applejack, but I think I need to speak with the princess again… There is still something I need to ask her.” Twilight gave a smile and a nod before making her way to the door.

“Twilight, darling wait, allow me to come with you; I too have some questions that I originally couldn’t ask.” Rarity said as she shook herself out of the panic mode and made her way to the purple mare’s side.

Twilight simply responded in a light nod before stepping out and making their way to Celestia’s private chambers. The walk felt long and awkward for the two mares as neither one spoke, and even did their best to avoid looking at each other.

“Rarity, I’m sorry…” The violet mare said as she lowered her head.

“F…for what darling?” Rarity simply asked.

“For kissing Spike.” Twilight still couldn’t look in the grey mare’s direction.

“Darling… a simple kiss is harmless….”

“No… It wasn’t just a harmless kiss! That is only how I described it because everypony was around. The real kiss was… well I didn’t know Spike knew how to things like he did with his tongue…” Twilight walking got slower as she continued talking.

“Um, Twilight!” Rarity said, she had stopped walking and simply stared at the Unicorn who was now in front of her.

“A…and worst of all… I enjoyed it. The feel of his tongue, the grip of his claws, his…his sheer dominance over me… I…” Before the violet unicorn could finish what she was saying; he walked horn first into the princess who was standing next to discord listening to every word she said.

“Didja now laddy?” Discorded responded as he folded his arms and cocked one eyebrow into the air.

“I…I…I… “ Twilight’s face turned crimson red as the two god figures stood before her.

“We were coming to speak with you; well more Rarity. There was more Discord had to say to her and it seems there is more you have to say to me; my most faithful student.” Celestia said as she lowered her head and gently tapped Twilight on the head with her snout before giving her a smile.

“M..more to tell?” Rarity said with an unease look on her face.

“Yes, but this is not the place to speak of such subjects, please join me in my chambers.” Celestia said as she opened the door that stood behind her.

“When…when did we get here? Twilight asked?

“You two have been here since the beginning of your apology.” Celestia replied.

“Anyways, I believed this question needed not be asked, but my sweet wanted me to tell bring everything to you two. So, Rarity have you mated with Spike?” Discord said bluntly after Celestia closed the door behind them.

“E..excuse you?” Rarity simply replied with a deep red blush on her face.

“Simple question; say or no and believe me I wouldn’t want to know unless it was important. So again I ask; have you mated with Spike?” Discord said bluntly again.

“Y..yes…” Rarity said in a low voice.

“Oh dear, Rarity you might want to sit down for what you are about to hear next.” Celestia said as she walked next to the purple mane mare with a pillow levitating next to her.

“Why, what is the meaning of this princess?” Discord and Celestia looked at each other before looked back at the mare.

“It may be best if you tell her.” Discord said to Celestia.

“Rarity… A dragons….seed is much…much potent then a stallion’s seed. It has to be as their mates are usually dragoness; who take several sessions before they lay their eggs. To a mare a dragon seed is very overpowering…. Do you get where I am going with this?” Celestia said as she watched Rarity fall onto her plot.

“You can’t be, but he’s a baby dragon is he not? He may be older by our standards. But, a baby dragon shouldn’t be able to produce offspring!” Rarity said with her voice breaking up.

“The term baby for dragons is not the same for ponies remember. A dragon newly hatched from its egg is capable of producing off springs. Baby for us is just a notion of time and not a cycle of life. If I have to be literal the baby phase ends when we leave our eggs, but saying that just dumb downs the complexity that is a dragons growth. The fact that he is even facing his bloodline’s spirit of lust right now is more than enough evidence that he is capable of reproducing. That is how other dragons will view this situation anyways.” Discord replied as he messes with his claws.

“I…I still can’t believe what I am hearing… You also said you didn’t want to tell me this, but why?” Rarity asked only as a distraction to avoid going into another panic mode.

“Simple, first thing is first, Spike must overcome him current trial or you will only be the first of many; unless Celestia has trained her military to slay fallen dragons in this current era.” Discord said looking at the ruling Alicorn.

“No, since…well you know…. Dragons have kept to themselves with no attentions of attacking or going to war with us. So I stopped dragon slaying training a long time ago to avoid having one hot shot stallion wanting a chance to put what he learned to use and causing a major war again.” Celestia said as her gaze turned to the Draconequus.

“Wait… Again?” Twilight said looking puzzled.

“ I see, there are any things you do not share with your subjects Celestia, and I wonder just how far deep in ignorance do you keep them.” Discord said with a small chuckle.

“That is enough Discord, that is a subject for a later date, and our only concern right now is for Spike!” Celestia said in a stern voice.

“Oh, I love you when get commanding! Do it again, and this time really put some fire into it!” Discord chucked harder.

“Please, can we get back to the subject of Spike, and my pregnancy? Now let’s just say I am pregnant; then what?” Rarity slowly placed her arms over her belly.

“Honestly, you could be opening the door for dragons and ponies to once again interact after many millennia of separation from each other.” Celestia continued to gaze at Discord as if expecting something.

“There goes that….again…..again.” Twilight simply replied as Discord chuckled even harder.

“If anything dragons will want to know his bloodline, so Spike will need to learn it or both he and the child will be shunned as casteless.” Discord said as he floated closer to Celestia.

“C..casteless… No, that must not….will not happen!” Rarity stomped her hoof on the ground as she stood up holding her head high.

“Well you seem to have come to terms with this very fast.” Twilight said gently with a sigh.

“…I guess I am getting a bit ahead of myself. I still don’t know if I am yet.” Rarity said with a small giggle.

“Yet?” Everyone in the room said in unison.

“W..well umm, not like I’m going to just go and try to get…. I mean me and Spike are still…. Anyways if I may ask, Discord since you speak as if you too are a dragon; what is your bloodlines name?” Rarity said trying to change the subject.

“I am to dragons; as an Alicorn is to you ponies, so yes I am a dragon even if I not the same as a drake or wyvern. As far as my bloodline goes, it has been many millennia since I last spoke its name, or communicated with my bloodkin. But, my bloodline is that of The Dragon Father Valtheerin.”

“Ok, do you have any questions Spike?” Eirene asked as he fell onto his bottoms.

“Y..yes, I have many really! First off; who is this Valtheerin that you and Damien keeps naming?” Spike rubbed his claw against his chin while expecting another answer Similar to what Damien said.

“Valtheerin is the creator god, and master of all things, or he was at one point. The truth is; as years went on the father changed. He changed many times until he finally separated himself from this world.” Eirene replied.

“..Ok, let me rephrase the question…. Is he a real dragon, or is this more a theological type deal? I hear stories from Damien, and even with what I’ve seen Damien do. This dragon father doesn’t seem to be plausible. If he was then why doesn’t he have a larger influence on this world? “

“HATCHLING, HOLD YOUR TONGUE! How do you speak such things about the one who’s very blood you came from? How can you ask such a question when you have met the dragon father personally?” Eirene did her best to not let anger grow in her voice.

“What are you talking about? I have never met such a dragon!” Spike replied in not trying to hide the confused look.

“That is because all you know is what Alicorns wish for you to know. The dragon father has not used his true name in millenniums, because he knows once he accepts his name again; dragons far and wide will be summoned to him. Our kin is waiting only for his return, but only those of us that is of his bloodline know that he never truly left us. Have you not figured it out yet hatchling; the dragon father is the one the ponies deem as ‘The Spirit of Chaos.”

“And this is where I get off the crazy train!” With that the purple dragon turned away from the larger golden dragoness and started to walk forward.

“Is it really so hard to accept that you are the descendent of a god?” Eirene watched as Spike kept walking, but made no statement on the fact that he wasn’t going anywhere unless she willed it.

“Yes, especially when such god is Discord! He has shown nothing but wanting to create chaos, destruction, and mayhem; and yet you have the nerve to tell me he was the creator god that made this world and its inhabitants… I think I smell a bull when it is shitting.” Spike started to walk faster, but finally realized he was not making any progress.

*****

“So girls, I need to come up with a way to let Spikey-Wikey know… Then my parents and sister.” Rarity said as she laid back on her panic couch

“How can ya’ll be sure Discord is telling the truth? I wouldn’t trust a word out of that two bit vermin’s mouth any day of the week honestly.” AJ said as she examined Rarity’s body.

“Normally I wouldn’t either, but Princess Celestia was there the whole time and confirmed everything he said. Even if we don’t trust or fully trust Discord; there is no reason we shouldn’t trust the princess.” Twilight responded to the orange mare.

“Oh, can I babysit? Please, oh pretty please with a cherry on top!” Pinkie pie jumped up and down.

“Dear, ummm if Rarity is…pregnant…. I think she should have some peace and quiet.” Fluttershy mumbled under her voice.

“Ok, darling if you don’t mind me asking, but what in the hay else did you two talk about with discord and the princess?” Applejack asked with a curious expression on her face.

“Oh nothing of importance darling, just some stuff about Discord actually being a dragon god that created the world, Dragons, and Alicorns.” Rarity responded nonchalantly as she rubbed her belly with her hooves.

“Excuse, but what the hay?” Applejack responded as the other mares attention instantly turned to Rarity.

“Well girls it seems that there was or better yet is much more to Discord that the two princesses ever told. It seems Discord at one point was known as Valtheerin, or to dragons as The Dragon Father. He did the things Rarity just said and was worship by dragons as their father in a since. I tried to pry deeper into this, but neither the princess nor Discord was willing to tell me anything more then I needed to know about him.” Twilight said as she walked to the window.

“Umm, wow!” Fluttershy said lightly.

“So what, he was some big bad god; he got trapped in stone by the princess! He can’t be all that powerful!” Rainbow dash stated out loud.

“Rainbow dash, was that really necessary? We need to worry about Spike right now and get back to Ponyville as soon as possible.” Applejack stumped her right hoof on the ground.

“Our train actually leaves first thing in the morning, so girls pack your things and get a nights rest. Who knows what will happen tomorrow when we get back, but with any luck…. We may be able to avoid a disaster. “Twilight stared out the window at Luna’s moon that hung high in the sky.

Eirene and Damien stood across from each other as Spike stood in the middle looking between the two. To his right swirled an aura of black and red radiating from Damien and reaching pout as far as the eye could see. To his left Eirene generated an aura of gold and yellow which was equal to the one of Damien’s. Neither dragon spoke as the hatred for one another could be seen in both their eyes.

Spike felt like a mouse standing in the shadows of titans ready to bring ragnarok down onto the world. Both dragons stood at their max size which was equal to one another, but still toward over the green drake. As if mirroring one another, the two dragons opened their snouts and released torrents of fire at one another which collided in the middle and above the baby dragon. The flames twisted, turned and together beautifully; they created colors that under any other circumstances Spike would have admired the beauty if the show that was happening above him.

The combined flame turned towards Spike and shot at him, taking the form of a dragon’s claw. As the claw wrapped around the dragon; Spike sat up taking deep breathes. His eyes scanned the room to notice he was back in the library living quarters, and it was morning again. As spike climbed out of his basket he caught a whiff of what seemed to be to be breakfast cooking.

“Oh Celestia…. is Twilight back and trying to cook ag… wait it doesn’t smell like it is burning.” Spike said softly making his way to the door and then down the stairs.

As he entered the kitchen, the young dragon was speechless at the sight that stood before him. There in his kitchen moving between the fridge, stove, and table while wearing a white apron was the mare he loved. His eyes followed here form as he bit his bottom lip to help resist urges that started to within him.

“Spike, don’t you want to get a feel? Look at her, she is strutting and twitching her plot; what do you think she is imagining while she is doing this?” Damien’s voice echoed in Spikes head.

“Ignore him Spike; remember you are not alone now.” Eirene said.
Spike started two shake his head to silence the both of them, but quickly stopped to watch Rarity as she started cutting up tomatoes, fruits, vegetables, and potatoes.

“Doesn’t she look so sexy in the kitchen Spike? Imagine just putting her on the counter right by the butter rolls!” Damien said once more as he chuckled up a storm.

His breathing got heavier as the heat inside of his body increased causing his two members to slowly erect from between his lower scales. More provocative thoughts traveled through his mind caring him into a hazy dream scape only to be dragged back out at the sound of Rarity’s shriek.

“Spikey-Wikey, don’t sneak up on me like that! You nearly scared the….Oh; my we seem to not be the only things awake early this morning. “Rarity eyed Spikes two fully erected members.

“R..rarity, I’m sorry! I…” Before he could finish speaking, the white mare placed one hoof gently over his snout.

“We have the whole morning to ourselves darling, and I am cooking my dragon a nice big breakfast. After you eat we can go upstairs and put your two friends back to sleep before Twilight comes back.” The mare gave him a kiss on the cheek before nudging him back out of the kitchen so she could finish cooking without distractions.

Spike simply stood just outside the kitchen door blinking and staring forward. His mind was set on Rarity had said to him, but his nose and stomach was being overpowered by the heavenly aroma of her cooking. Not too long afterward his ears picked up on the white mare gently humming to herself and giggling from time to time.

He spent the next fifteen minutes roaming through the library until he finally heard his love call out to him.

“Darling, come eat.” Rarity called out as she walked into the library scanning the area for spike.

“You know… I’m kind of hoping that you are talking about something other than food right now.” Spike replied as he placed a book back on the shelf and made his way to the mare.

“Spike, how so uncouth of you to say such a thing to a lady!” Rarity replied pretending to be shocked while she watched him with bedroom eyes and her hips gently swayed at the thoughts that played in her head.

Spike smiled giving the mare a kiss on the cheek and nuzzling her snout before entering the kitchen where he found the table full of food; pancakes mixed with gem stones, Gem sandwiches, gem salad, gem soup and many other gems as well as non-gem related delicacies. For the next twenty minutes they sat in silence enjoying their meal; Rarity occasionally glancing at Spike smiling and blushing. Once the dishes had been washed and put away Rarity turned to Spike once again with bedroom eyes.

“That was a good breakfast darling, and not it is time for your morning dessert. Why don’t you go upstairs and wait for me darling; I have something very special to tell you, and I want the moment to be just right when I say it.” The mare’s words held a strong libido within them as she nudged him back up the stairs.

Spike responded with a simple nod and mad his way back to the bedroom, past his basket to Twilight’s bed where he sat and waited for the mare. Once spike was out of Rarity’s sigh, she made her way to the bathroom where she had left a bag that contained a silk black nightgown which strapped wrapped around her neck and left part of her back showing.

“Oh, I hope this works.” Rarity said softly to herself after she slid the nightgown on and then straightened out her main.

After several minutes of checking herself in the mirror Rarity finally stepped back and made her way up the stairs and to the bedroom where Spike waited. At first sight of her; is mouth fell open as she slowly trotted in front of him.

“Now where are my two very big friends? I have a special message waiting for them.” The white mare said as she winked and licked her lips.

“They are all yours… M’lady.” Spike replied as he pulled up to lower scales as the two members quickly started to grow towards her.

“You must not do this, not now!” Eirene appeared just behind the young drake standing on the other side of the bed.

“She wants this just as bad as you do hatchling, let her have it! Give into the urge and make her burn for you more. Twist her until you are all she can think about.” Damien appeared a few feet behind Rarity grinning.

“Ah, there goes mama’s babies!” Rarity stated before swishing her tongue around in her mouth trying to build up saliva.

“Spike you must defuse this situation before……” Eirene stopped as she notice Spike’s head fall back at the feel of the saliva slowly flow from the mare’s mouth and onto his two members.

She sat back onto her plot taking her two hooves and using them to gently massage the upper member while leaning forward and taking the lower member into her mouth. Her tongue constantly brushed against the bottom of the member as she tried to take more of it in her mouth, but eventually stopping at what looked to be half way to her. As she freed it from her mouth creating a ‘pop’ sound as the head escaped her moist lips. She took note of Spike’s body language; his claws dug deep into the matrix and his rolled up in pure bliss.

“Spikey, remember when I had something special to tell you? Well, I am pregnant with your little dragonlings.” She said before starting to lick up and down the shaft once more.

“T…that’s nice….Rarity… WAIT, WHAAAAAA…..ahhh…” Before the dragon could finish the mare took both members into her mouth stretching her snout and mouth further then she has ever tried to before.

“Twilight, are you sure we should be coming back so early?” Applejack asked as she and the and the other three mares walked into the library behind their friend.

“We have been gone for over an hour and a half; I’m sure this was plenty of time for Rarity to tell Spike the news.” Twilight said as she looked around wondering where the two could be.

“Rarity…don’t try to do that with ooo… so moist….” The five mares heard coming from up the stairs before looking between each other.

“She couldn’t be could she? “ Rainbow dash asked as she was the first to make it to the bottom of the stairwell followed by the others.

“Sugarcube, it sounds like she or better yet they are.” Applejack said as she raised her ear to see what other she could catch.

“Umm, Twilight when did you get Spike his own room? I mean if you don’t mind me asking that is?” Fluttershy said as fidgeted with her hooves.

“I didn't get him his own room…. OH DEAR CELESTIA!” Twilight rushed pasted Rainbow dash towards the top of the stairs and into the bedroom which door was still wide open.

She stood there at the entrance staring at the two; Spike who was now laying on his back on her bed with Rarity still using her two pulsating members to test how wide and deep she could take the two inside her.

Rarity slowly pulled her head back, separating her mouth from the drake’s two members. A small blush appeared on her face as at then line of saliva was all that continued to connect the mare to the dragon.

“Oh, dear….. I was expecting you girls to be gone for at least four hours.” Rarity stated as she quickly swatted away the saliva strand.

“Is this your idea of telling him?” Twilight asked, placing her hoof over her face to hide her blush.

“Darling, you don’t just tell a stall…. gentledrake that you’re pregnant. You have to ease him into it, get him relaxed and comfortable. And, one of the quickest ways to do that with my little Spi-“ before Rarity could finish talking, two violet hooves met her snout, muffling all sound that followed.

“Don’t even think about finishing that statement!” Twilight shouted with her blush getting even deeper.

“Excuse me, girls….can we maybe have this somewhere else… somewhere away from a male’s…well you know.” Applejack asked with her hat covering her and the other girls doing everything in their power not to look at the dragon that was still lying on the bed.

“Ah, yes well….everyone out and Spike darling please wait here while the group and myself have a little chit chat.” Rarity said without even looking back, but instead using her magic to shoo ever pony out of the room, and closing the door behind herself.

Spike laid there in silence, his blood slowly started to boil, his members ached for relief. His claw slowly made his way towards the top member only to be stopped by Damien’s claw.

“No, you have a whole town filled with soaking wet cunts just waiting to be abused.” The drake said, his words echoed through the baby dragon’s ear. Spike sat up and scanned the room to find it was now completely empty with the exception of himself.

“Spike listen to me…. This town is yours, enjoy…. But you must not touch anyone of the six again just yet.” Damien’s voice echoed though Spikes head, as he walked over to a nearby mirror.

“Why…why do I feel…..?” Spike tried to ask as the burning in his members got more severe. His thoughts slowly started to subside into mere ideas of carnal pleasure causing his kneed to get weaker and breathing to get heaver. Finally unable to keep himself up, the young drake fell forward into the mirror, passing through into a void of nothing. As light pierced through the darkness, a mare’s shriek could be heard before the sound of hoof steps and then a blurry figure appearing over him.

“What the…oh, it is just Twilight’s little pet.” The pale magenta filly said as she looked in closer. “What are you doing in my room, how did you get here and aren’t your eyes supposed to be emerald green…not crimson…” The mare said as she slowly pulled back as Spike sat up and rubbed his eyes. Spike opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out as his vision finally focused onto the filly making his members grow even more.

“Ew, Spike what are those? “ The filly asked in disgust as she stuck her tongue out and took a step back. The purple dragon did not respond, instead he simply climbed to his feet and started towards the mare.

“S…spike? You're starting to scare me…g..get ou-.” Before she could finish her sentence, the dragon rushed forward and grabbed the filly by the snout and mane. He forced the now struggling filly to the ground as he made his way over her; while never once loosening his cement grip on her. Diamond Tiara’s forelegs thrashed ineffectively against spike’s scaly body as tears filled her eyes out of fear of the unknown.

There was no foreplay, there was no gentleness, and there was no pleasure…. Spike released her mane smiling sinisterly before lining one of his members up with her marehood. One inch, two inches, five inches…. Even though her snout was held shut, her screams of pain could be heard which only seemed to arouse the young drake even more. Ten inches, thirteen inches, fifteen inches; Diamond could no longer take the pain from her body’s intruder. The mare started to twist and shift her hips as a attempt to push the drake out of her, but only accomplished pushing herself further onto him and fully impaling herself.

“All twenty-five inches…impressive; well you actually impressed me at the fifteen inch mark.” Spike chuckled as he pulled back and began to thrust his hips with no concern for her satisfaction or pain. He eventually released her snout and placed his claw on each side of her head to give himself more leverage and making his thrust even more painful. The filly opened her mouth to let out her held in screams, but nothing came out. All there was, were deep pants coming from the two and tears flowing down her cheek.

Seconds turned to minutes as minutes turned to hours, Diamond Tiara constantly fainted just to be awoken by Spikes brutal thrusts until finally after one long incredibly painful thrust. The drake released into the filly causing her belly to expand and her marehood to overflow. He pulled out and of her and stepped back from the filly so he could watch his seed seep out of her with a chuckle.

“That was fun…” Spike said as he stretched his arms up, his still erected members pointing directly at her. “Fortunately for both of us, I’m a growing drake and my appetite is at its very peek.” He laughed, grabbing her by the tail and pulling her close enough that he could force her onto her hooves. The filly put up little to no resistance; in fact it hurt her to even move let alone attempt to fight of the drake.

He dragged her over to the bed where he slung her face down onto and bent over the edge. She knew what was coming and all she could do was sit and wait. She stood there staring at the tiara her father gave her after she had finally obtained her cutie mark As the dragon’s claws took hold of her hips; she could not help but realize his grip was stronger and claws felt wider than they were before. The mare looked back only to be horrified at what she saw, a dragon that stood as tall celestial when she stood. His members were know the length of her forelegs which caused her to start back crying and shaking her head now.

There he stood on his forelegs lining up his members which lining the members up to her; Diamond Tiara slammed her eyes shut and tried to think of a happy place which only shattered like glass once she screamed out in agony of both her marehood and anus being torn open.

“Rarity we are out will you stop pushing us?!” Twilight fussed as she looked back at the purple mare.

“Fine, but please be a dear and tell me why did you girls come back so early?” Rarity asked as she started to straighten her nightgown and fix her mane.

“We didn’t know you were going to have you a taste of dragon, or I would’ve made you do it at your place.” Twilight responded as she stuck her tongue out at the thought of it.

“Please Twilight, that is such a juvenile reaction; we are all old enough to talk about this without some pony having to cover their ears.” Rarity said as all eyes turned to Fluttershy who face lit up in embarrassment like Celestia’s sun.

“Sugar cube, even so; you were supposed to talk to him! Have you even thought of what you are going to do? I know you own your own business and all, but you still need to plan for the young’n soon to come.” Applejack said as she stepped forward.

“Like you said, I own my own business and Spike has many talents that can help around the house while I work… Hmm, I do wonder how Spikey would feel about being a stay home dad….. if he wished it, then I could be the stay home mom and…”

“See that is exactly what we are talking about Rarity! These are things that you need to be discussing with Spike right now and getting a game plan together!” Twilight interrupted.

“ Oooh, can I foal sit? Please, please, pretty please!” Pinkie asked as she jumped in front of Twilight and Applejack and into Rarity’s face.

“I wouldn’t dare ask any other pony.” Rarity responded with a soft chuckle.

“Ok this is nice and all, but what about Spike? He needs to be here having this conversation with us and not just laying down.” Rainbow Dash brought up.

“You are truly right my dear… and I would hate to leave my cuddly little dragon lusting but… maybe we should just let him rest so his ‘heat’ can die down and I’ll make it up to him tonight.” Rarity said as she giggled like a little school filly.

“Ugh….” The five mares said as the turned away and looked for ways to get the imagery out their head.

“Um, Rarity….If you don’t mind I was wondering if I could ask you a question.” The yellow Pegasus said as she slowly crept closer to her friend.

“Anything dear, what is your quest?” Rarity responded with an enchanting smile.

“I-if you don’t mind me asking… What is sex like?” She mumbles the last part, but it was still loud enough for Rarity to hear.

******

The pupils of her eyes were diluted, he body felt like a soft pillow, and she made no sound other than moans and pants. Her coat and mane was covered in dragon seed and sweet as Spike finished off one last time; releasing into bother her holes and pulling back. The drake slowly fell back, finally satisfied, and landed into the claw of Damien.

“You are a natural hatchling, you broke her in a matter of hours and didn’t even need to use illusion magic to do it. Maybe I should have started you off on a harder practice run then just that one filly. How about for the next practice, you break those three fillies that are always running around? Or, do you think you are up to the challenge of a full grown mare?” Damien said chuckling as he watched Spike’s eyes slowly close.

“Well, one thing is certain, you definitely enjoyed your practice girl and the colts should thank you. Even if he parents get her therapy; you have without doubt guaranteed Ponyville a new slut.” Damien continued as Spike’s eyes fully closed and didn’t reopen until late that night.

“Ugh…where am I?” Spike asked as he slowly started to sit up.

“Sister, he is awake!” A filly yelled as she turned towards the door.

“Sweetie Belle; what have I said about yelling dear?” Rarity said as she entered the room with a small smile on her face. She made her way over to Spike and gave him a deep kiss on the lips.

“Did you sleep well my love? I hope I was in your dreams as I am in your life.” The mare said as she placed a hoof gently on his cheek.

“Rarity? Where am I?” He asked as he looked around, his vision still drowsy from just awakening.

“You are in my…..I mean our home dear. Spike, listen I need to tell you something rather important, but I haven’t had launch to day. So, would you be as kind as to join Sweetie Belle and myself out to launch? I will you and her all the wonderful news together!” Rarity said as she made her way to the wardrobe.


“Of course, anything for you my love!” Spike simply responded with a smile and a nod.

“Are you sure these birds know where they are going?” The blue Pegasus asked as she flew just over the group.

“Y…yes, they said they saw a purple dragon in these very woods for the last two days. He did leave the area he was in; he just stood there burning their homes.” The yellow Pegasus responded meekly.

“Burning their homes…that doesn’t sound like Spike sugar cube….” The orange earth pony responded as she ran with the others.

“Oh, and my little Spikey Wikey, not only missing our breakfast date, but disappearing for two days straight is?” Rarity responded while trying to hide the panic in her voice.

“Ok, you have a point, but still.. This is the Everfree forest after all, and I don’t think the animals here would just sit back as another burned their home down. Not to mention, there hasn’t been any sign of smoke since we started this search yesterday.” Applejack replied.

“Girls, we will find out as soon as we get there.” Twilight said in a worried voice.

“W..we are here…” Fluttershy squeaked as the stepped into a large clearing that had green flames spread out everywhere.

The where was completely scorched with the tallest thing there being the girls themselves, and a little purple dragon standing in the center where the flames seemed to be at their strongest…

“SPIKE!” The six yelled out. Rarity broke from the group and rushed to the dragon with tears of joy running down her face.

“Darling, you are alright! I was so wor….” Before she could finish, the mare tripped and fell down onto her side with her eyes slowly closing. I small chuckle escaped Spikes mouth as his crimson eyes focused onto the other five mares who rushed to Rarity’s side, just to follow her lead until only Twilight was left standing.

“Spike… What is going on here, why are you out here, and where have you been?” Twilight asked with a stutter as she tried to take a step forward just to realize she couldn’t move. “Answer me, Spike… You’re star…..” As she spoke, Spike pointed as single talon at the mare causing her to stop mid-sentence.

“That is much better, strange days have found us Twilight.” He said as he made his way forward to the group of girls that lay on the ground. “How will you deal with them I wonder…” He stopped just in front of Pinkie pie, staring down at her, and finally kneeling down and rolling the pink mare onto her back. “But no matter how you choose to deal with it; make no mistakes about this one simple fact. The dragon that you use to know is no more.” He said as he pushed the mare’s hind legs apart and slowly started to traverse the lips of her marehood with a single talon.

Pinkie Pie’s lips parted, releasing soft pants as his gentle touched started to become more aggressive. Within a matter of second, two talons were piercing into the depths of her and turning her soft panting into moans. Twilight tried to open her mouth to protest, but as she attempted to open her mouth; something felt completely different.

“Trying to speak? That must be hard to do without a mouth.” Spike said with a chuckle as he pulled his talons from within Pinkie Pie. A small pillar of flames rose up in front of Twilight, the flame flattened itself into a thin reflective surface revealing to the mare that her mother was missing and only her snout remained.

“Twilight, I will keep this short and sweet, almost as sweet as Pinkie’s juices.” He said while licking his talons and making his way to the mare that was sin disbelief of her current situation. “I have no doubt you have learned of my handy work with Diamond Tiara, how is that filly doing anyways, never mind it doesn’t matter. My next treat will be Lotus and Aloe, and oh the things I will do to them.” He said as he pressed his snout against Twilight’s and giving her a gentle nuzzle. Spike then wrapped a single around her, and used is free claw to wrap Twilights fore legs around his neck.

“Oh can’t to see and hear it Twilight, the fun I will have with them?” The drake’s eyes glowed a eerie green while his claws travelled along her sides and resting on her plot. “Oh yes, the fun that the three of us will have indeed….” He whispered into her ear, which was followed by the sounds of the two spa ponies begging for Spike to stop. “Tell me, do you think they are screamers, criers, or both? They aren’t Rarity or yourself, both who would simply let me take you.” His voice overpowered the two mare’s cries in Twilight’s ears just before her started to nibble on its edge.

Throughout the whole scene, Twilight could feel multiple emotions clashing at once, from arousal caused by the drake, too far and worry of what he may do to the others. By the time he was nibbling on her ear, arousal was starting to overtake the other emotions she felt, but she didn’t understand why.

“You are too easy Twilight….” Spike said as he stopped nibbling and started to chuckle. “Now join the others,” with his words the mare’s eyelids grew heavier until finally they closed completely and she was fully leaning onto him for support.

“How was that?” He said, as he looked own at her.

“You are getting stronger hatchling, from the very start you maintained complete control and didn’t waver, only after two days of practice. I am thoroughly impressed. “Damien responded, his voice seemed to echo from the green flames that consumed the area.

“Now tell me, what else I can do.” Spike asked, laying Twilight gently down on the ground.

“One step at a time Hatchling, you maybe proficient with the hypnotic flame, but you haven’t mastered it yet. You were able to play with the sense of these feral beast and some ponies that are arguable brain dead.” The black drake stopped, gazing over at Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy before continuing, “But, you would not be able to play with the sense of another dragon or a creature that doesn’t rely on the first five. Let us say, the sun for instance, she is capable of using her magic a sensory and against how you are right now; you wouldn’t stand a chance. Needless to say, against another dragon you would have to be a master of the flame for it to even be useful. Dragons have many more senses then just; Sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. But, that is a lesson for another day hatchling.” The drake said, stopping just behind Spike.

Spike took a single step back, as the green flames started to move towards the two dragons, swirling around them and engulfing them completely. When the flames finally cleared, the dragons were gone and the area had returned to its original state, undisturbed with the exception of the sleeping ponies that were now randomly lying in a beautiful bed of Irises.



*****

“Um, Twilight…. Twilight wake up.” Applejack’s voice could be hard from beyond the darkness of the Unicorn’s closed eyes.

“Twilight Darling, I know it was a nice nap, we all had one, but it is in everyone’s best interest for you to wake up this every moment!” Rarity voice followed soon after Applejacks, but her voice carried more worry in it.

“HEY EGGHEAD, WAKE UP!” Rainbow Dash screamed causing Twilight’s eyes to show open.

“OK, I’M UP NOW WHAT Is…..it…..” The violet unicorn’s eyes stayed wide open as it didn’t take long for her to realize where she was and what stood just a few foot steps away from her.

“Hello dear, my name is Eirene of Valtheerin, and it is my pleasure to make your acquaintance.” The golden dragoness said, standing as tall as Celestia herself, but was now bowing her head politely to Twilight as she did the other five, each as they awoke before her.

“Um…Hello, I’m Twilight Sparkle…..I’m sorry didn’t know that this was your territory and we weren’t the ones who burnt everything down.” Twilight said hastefully as he returned the gesture. ‘’

“Mrs. Sparkle, while time is of the essence right now; this is not my territory and I would like to advise you to look around.” Eirene of Valtheerin spoke in a soft, calming voice.

Twilight lifted her head, to her surprise the forest was unharmed and the only oddities were the seven.

“Um, what is going on, I could swear that this whole area was in flames when we got h…wait what time is it?” She said quickly looking at the other girls who all shrugged, just as confused as she was.

“Not quite, but before I explain what is going on; can we go to your library and can you get the yellow one out of that tree? The second she saw me, she screamed at the top of her lunges and dashed off. I’m surprised the scream didn’t awaken you, but once she realized the others were here that Pegasus slowly crept back.” The golden dragoness stated.

“I got her.” Rainbow dash said as she was flying back, holding on tightly to a yellow Pegasus who was using all her power to try and get free.

“Great, now Mrs. Sparkle, will you teleport us or shall I?” The dragoness sat down one her plot, holding her head up high showing true pride in her demeanor.

“I’ll do it…I guess.” The violet unicorn took a deep breath before casting the spell. Within a flash, the seven sat in the main room of the library; Rarity, Sweetie Belle, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash stood next to Twilight, across from Eirene.

“Now, first things first… you six were trapped in a Draconic spell known as Hypnotic flames. Its main usage is manipulation and control over its target senses and you were caught but it the second you saw the green flames.” The dragoness stated.

“What?” The six mares said in unison.

“Yes, the fire itself is not real, physically it cannot hurt you, but, but mentally and emotionally it can devastate any creature not trained to combat it. The second you saw the fire, was the second you all were under Spike’s control.” The dragoness replied.

“Wait a minute back up, how does Spike know this? Better yet, who are you and what are you doing here?” Rainbow Dash said suspiciously, flying forward, showing the dragon that she help no fear.

“Rainbow Dash, don’t be rude to our guest dear, and she already told us who she is,” Rarity stated as she used her magic to pull the cyan Pegasus back.

“But, she does possess a point sugar cube, with the obvious exception up until now; our meetings with dragons have not been pleasant ones.” Applejack stated.

“As I’ve said, I am Eirene of Vatheerin, the first born of our bloodline and dragon guide through these trials, or I am supposed to be. Due to unforeseen circumstance, I was only recently able to contact Spike. Unfortunately for me, it was too late, while he overcame Mammon thanks to some help, Damien is much more powerful in achieving his goal.” She replied again.

“Ok, so you have to do with Spike’s trial…. And this Damien, he is the guardian of lust that Spike must overcome?” Twilight responded as she started to think back to the discussion she had with Discord.

“Yes, but how do you know?” The dragoness asked surprised.

“Oh, well this Draconic being that goes by the name of Discord told me. “ The violet mare replied.

“F..father? He told a non-Draconic….. does this mean father has lost faith in me, will my position be taken away? Will he…he put me back into an eggshell and force me to relearn all that I have learned in these thousands of years?” Eirene started to worry, as stood up and started to pace back and forward with fear in her eyes before finally stopping and facing the six. “No, my concern doesn’t matter at the moment. What is important right now is we give Spike a fighting chance, lust won the battle; but this war is far from over!”

The six mares simply crossed glances with each other before looking back at the dragoness.

“For, Spike, we will help you. Please tell us what we need to do to stop him! Wait, he told me he will be going after the spa twins next, we need to get to them fast!” Twilight said, before rushing to the door.

“Wait, what?” The Twins said in unison. The two looked between each other in disbelief before looking back at the seven mares.

“Wait, OK! Let us take this back from the beginning.” Lotus said as she rubbed her temples with her hooves.

“Who are you again?” Alo followed right behind her sister.

A mare stepped in front of the main six, her mane and coat was as golden as the sun itself, her eyes was black as the dark as the night sky, and her cutie mark was a combination of a bat like shape with a long tail running down its side..

“My name is Eirene Valtheerin, and I am a dragon charmer.” The dragoness responded to the sisters.

“Well, it is a pleasure Miss Valtheerin, and please don’t take us as inhospitable but this is just too…..” Lotus said as she searched for the appropriate word to use.

“Too completely ridiculous….” Alo finished for her.

“Sister, please be more tactful!” Lotus said, turning to her other and shaking her head in disapproval.

“Listen, we understand your disbelief, but I wouldn’t be here if I felt you two weren’t in any danger, but the fact is…you’re in more danger then you can imagine.” Eirene interrupted the two. Even in a pony form, an aura of dominance seems to engulf the dragoness and reach out to all others around her. Her presence dwarfed all others that were in the spa, even the elements of harmony themselves.

“Ladies, we aren’t asking you to close up shop and go into hiding.” Rarity finally said stepping forward. “We only wish for one of us to be around here with you at all times, and yes I know that is a bit inconvenient….” Rarity said just before being cut off by Rainbow Dash.

“Inconvenient? Nothing should be inconvenient when they are in fear of being rap…” Before the cyan pony could finish her sentence, a powerful gust of wind blew through the spa causing the mares to shiver at the sudden temperature drop that would normally signal that winter had come. When the wind finally died down, Rainbow Dash was sitting on the ground with her; wings, snout, and hooves trapped in blocks of eyes. This caused all the attention to shift from Eirene to the new mystery of the ice pony.

“Would anypony like to explain what just happened here, because I think I just missed a step?” Applejack said as she looked at the only pony who to her knowledge would be capable of such a feat or at least explaining it.

“Discord! What are thou up to?” The princess of the night called out as she made her way into the spirit of chaos’ chambers.

“Ah, if it isn’t my dear sister, Lulu…..No…Luby wuby? No, Wuna?” Discord said, continuing to spit out name after name that got further and further away from Luna’s.

“Thou skipped yet another court meeting, why?” Luna asked, not trying to hide her annoyance.

“I..I did no….WAIT!” He yelled before rushing to his closet and slamming the door open. “Aw, he didn’t go.” He said as he reached in and pulled out an exact copy of himself, which was munching on paper. .

“Discord….” Luna said, now tapping her hoof against the castle’s stone floor.
“What are you eating?” Discord said, as he started to wrestle the paper away from himself. “You shouldn’t be eating such pretty paper.” The draconic being said as he randomly threw it in the air and he floated in front of the princess.

“Wait, this is…” Luna’s eyes flew wide open as she looked at a half-eaten picture of her singing and shaking her plot in the shower. “DISCORD,” she yelled in a mixture of fury and embarrassment before shooting a beam at the two. The two spirits swirled spirally around the beam before launching directly at her, splitting apart and going around both sides of the princess and out the door laughing.

The spirits of chaos was singing in harmony while the night princess gave chase to the two. If a blush could appear on her dark coated face then her whole body would be crimson red in embarrassment at this point. “Discord, Halt!” The princess of the night yelled out, as she did her best to duck and dodge guards and nobles, unlike her prey who snake like body twisted and bended with ease. Eventually the two Discords, crashed into the only mare that would be capable of stopping the, their bodies slammed together into one being before wrapping his body around her’s and crashing into the ground.

“Discord…” Celestia groaned as she tried to free herself, only to get a strong resistance.

“Save me, that mare has gone mad!” He replied, his voice high pitched and squeaky as a child.

“Discord, I’m going to….Sister!” Luna said as she caught up, screeching to a halt as to not join the chaos that lay before her.

“Well, at least you two are getting along.” Celestia teased, finally using her magic to teleport herself free. “Yet, I’m afraid I need to put your merriment on a hold as we need to speak on Twilight, Spike her friends. Discord, you’re the only one who fully knows what they are up against and what needs to be done. So, please I need you to tell me everything….” Celestia said as she took her place beside Luna.

“Oh, dear, oh dear… I knew this would come eventually. I’m afraid I cannot tell you.” Discord replied as he started to levitate up right.

“And, why can’t though?” Luna questioned puzzled at his response.

Discord raised his claw, and opened his mouth to answer, just before shutting it and making a piece of paper appear in his talons. Soon after, glasses appeared on Discord’s face as he began to silently read the paper while fiddling with his goatee0.

“Discord, what is thou’ doing?” Luna asked, tapping her hoof and showing that she was annoyed again.

“Oh, just reading this Fanfic, I forgot my lines and how I was supposed to reply to you so I wanted to check was my next line was supposed to be. Aw, there we go…” He said as he cleared his throat while the two sisters looked onto him stupefied.

“I can’t tell you, I can’t do that. There are laws which the universe is ordered. These rules must be obeyed! My dear maidens of the day and of the night you must surely understand this.” He finally replied to Luna as he took a bow and flowers fell around him.

“Rules, what rules and why must you follow these rules?” Luna continued her questioning.

“Because I made them or more accurately; a much younger and much more omnipotent me, made them.” He smiled.

“Discord, my love….just how much do you remember? How far back did you allow your memory to go?” Celestia question as she stepped forward.

“I can tell you who Spike’s parents are, I could tell you where Your mother is….wait a minute this isn’t my story!” Discord responded.

“But it is as much your story as it is Spike’s story. He is your only living and breathing descendent, and the key to saving him lies with you Discord.” Celestia said as she stop just inches away from him.

“When did you become such a manipulative mare, I didn’t think you had it in you, Celestia” Discord closed his eyes chuckling.

“What do you me?” she replied.

“You know exactly what I mean, first you let Luna constantly scratch at my defense until you felt they were lowered enough that you could redirect the flow of the conversation from one direction to the other. When I wouldn’t break my own law to tell you what you asked, you hoped to awaken some feelings of nostalgia within me by asking how far back can I remember. Then you hoped to ride on that same nostalgia by reminded me of my connection to the little purple dragon.” Discord said as he toyed with his goatee more.

“I had no such intent!” Celestia simply replied before closing her eyes and holding her head up high.

“My dear Celestia, you are fooling none here, but for your efforts I shall reward you within the limitation of my laws.” Discord said before he nuzzled her snout.

“And that is the last of it.” Applejack said, after three hours of chipping, Rainbowdashw as finally free of her ice prison.
“You know, it would have been a lot faster if you’d just let me melt the ice.” Eirene said, her gaze never left the Spa ponies who were waving goodbye to the last costumer of the day.

“Don’t take this the wrong way Eirene, but I want a dragon nowhere near me when they are breathing fire. We still need to come up with a way to fight Spike’s magical fire or whatever” Rainbow dash said as she flapped her wing, trying to give them some exercise.

“Yes, Eirene… do you happen to know a way we can combat dragon magic? My knowledge on your species is extremely limited.” Twilight added on.

“Will power, the hypnotic flames won’t affect someone who has a strong enough will to resist it. He had the upper hand the first time, because you six knew nothing about it.” The dragoness replied.

“Willpower? Is that it? It honestly can’t be that simple darling.” AJ Stared at Eirene.

“Yes, the hypnotic flame is that simple, but that is if the hypnotic flame is all that Damien taught Spike.” She said as she shook her head.

“W…what more is there?” Fluttershy asked.

“Well, for starters will power will only break the hypnotic trances that the dragon fire places one; it will not free you from the illusions that the flame create. To escape the illusion you need to be able to perceive what is a illusion and what isn’t. The closer you get to the caster, the stronger the illusion becomes which makes this even harder.” Eirene stated.

“So we can escape the mind control, but we can’t escape the mind trickery; that is just great.” Rainbow dash said with a grown.

“Then if Damien starts teaching Spike the physical manipulation of the fire he spits, that starts to add to the problem. A dragon’s fire while not only magical, but is an extension of that dragon. It can be controlled no differently than a dragons arm or tail. This is the main reason ponies don’t ever find any ancient dragons that live in Equestria. There are a few, not many, but those that do usually combine the hypnotic flame with the flame manipulation to keep their territory safe guarded.” The dragoness said.

“If dragons are so smart and powerful, why haven’t you seen any do this? We’ve ran into quite a few dragons before this whole; “dragon trial thing.” Rainbow Dash stated in disbelief of the dragoness.

“Oh? How many dragons have you met thatcould do what Spike, or Daamien, or even myself can do?”

“Well, almost none, we can’t discount discord.” Twilight answered for Rainbow Dash who just remained silent.

“That is because, just like how Unicorn are the species of pony’s that do magic; dragons have their own bloodlines that are more adapted to magic, physical prowess, and well that’s about it. The dragons you mostly dealt with were the fallen ones. Dragons who failed their trials, the fallen usually lose their connection with their magical prowess once they lose their trail or stop listening to their blood. As already stated once before, Spike is a descendent of my bloodline, and ours is the most magical of all the dragon’s bloodlines in the world.” Ereine said proudly as smoke escaped her nostrils.

*****

Spike sat on the roof of the building just across from the closed spa, his blood red eyes gaved as the street as his slowly became less and less active. Within spike’s right claw swirled a green flame that wrapped all the way up to his elbow.

“You are improving, they don’t even realize you are here, and Eirene is to distracted to sense your presence. You’re now able to enchant others without the even realizing it. Your flame is truly strong, and area of influence is much larger then I imagined. Maybe, just maybe you are of my bloodline after all.” Damien said.

“Let us just get this over with, the longer Twilight and Eirene are allowed to talk, the greater the chance of them beating me becomes.” Spike said, just before he stood, taking a few steps back, and then launched himself into the air and landing on the roof of the spa. Any sound the dragon would have normally made from such a feat was muffled by the power of the illusionary flames.

“Prepare yourself Spike, if Eirene wasn’t aware of our presence before, she is now. You are still nowhere near strong enough to trap her.” Damien stated as he manifested a physical form beside the purple dragon.

“Then help me!” Spike stated.

“I am, I am teaching you am I not? There are still laws that I must abide by and same goes for Eirene!” The ebony drake said with a chuckle.

“They are here!” The dragoness stated as she looked up at the roof ceiling.

“Well, what is the plan?” Rainbow Dash asked as she readied herself for anything.

Rainbow and Applejack, you two take the twins into the back and hide them, and don’t ever leave their side for a second. I will come get you when this is over. Pinkie keep look out by the stairs, and Rarity you Guard the front door. Fluttershy, you guard the back door and scream if you see anything… better yet scream if you see something reptilian and purple.” Twilight said as she pointed and all the mares followed.

“Now, the two of us should head up stairs to see if we can find Spike first.” Eirene said, as her form reverted back to her draconian self. “I missed my golden scales, I just don’t see how you ponies live without them.”

“It is a lot easier than you think.” Twilight chuckled before changing to a more serious Demeanor and making her way up the stairs into the attic of the Spa.

The attic was small but spacious, a singular light hung just a few feet away from the entrance and barely lit beyond what little light was already entering the are from the outside of the door way.

“There are few places for Spike to hide in here that is if he is even in here.” Twilight said as she started to search around some boxes on one side of the attic.

“Damien is trying to severe my connection with Spike, he has been since I showed myself to you all. He is either in here or on the roof itself; I just know for sure that Spike is near so be on your guard. And remember, this isn’t your Spike we are dealing with here, so don’t hesitate to attack if need” Eirene stated.

*****

With a twist of his wrist and a flick of his hand, a piece of paper and a Quill appeared in front of Discord.

“Now what are though doing?” Luna ask as she glared at the Spirit.

“Shhh, I’m granting my dearest her reward.” He said, just as he finished writing and the letter rolled up and disappeared.

“What was that Discord?” Celestai asked giving him a soft smile.

“I figured you would want something that helped Twilight and her friends’ right? Well, that is exactly what that letter will do. It is nothing grand but it will help them not get caught off guard.” He said before stealing a kiss from the Princess of the sun before she could react and the making his way to Luna. He held his claw up to her revealing that he still had the picture of her before flying off, initiating the chase once again.

*****

As twilight began to open a box to search for Spike, Discord’s letter appeared in front of her.

“That scent….I’d know it anywhere! That is father’s magic, father has contacted you; oh what did he say, did he mention me, am I in trouble?” Eirene asked, almost going into panic.

Dear Twilight Sparkle, per request of Celestia I hear by offer you these words of advice; One, tell Eirene to calm her hide down. She has done nothing but fulfill the role I bestowed onto her and I am no less proud of my first born daughter as I have always been.” Twilight said as she stared at the note in disbelief.

“Father, thank you…even now you…. Please, continue reading Miss Sparkle.” Eirene said, shaking her head as an attempt to get back to the matter at hand.

“Two, don’t let either of the sisters out of your sight for a second; that is when Spike will strike. He will do it in the darkest of the night where no pony can escape his sight, through the strength of old he will increase his might; Eirene, Rarity, and yourself will be the only three he can’t fight. Three, Eirene take to steps over and both of you, look behind you.” The dragoness did as the note said as Twilight put the letter down before looking over their shoulders.

Staring directly at them, were two crimson reptilian eyes, soon followed by a massive black flame that was powerful enough to knock the two off their feet and onto the floor. Eirene took the bulk of the blast, shielding the violet mare from what would have otherwise killed her.

“Damien…” Eirene growled as she climbed back onto her feet, stepping forward.

“Hello, Elder One, The First Born, The Golden Maiden, and Protector of Valtheerin’s Bloodline.” Damien said as he sat back grinning.

“So, that is the way you want to play it, fine! Greetings….. Guardian of Lust, Serpent of the Abyss, and The Second Born to Valtheerin’s Bloodline.” The Dragoness responded putting an emphasis on the words “Second” and “Born”.

“You will not rile me today elder one, while you may be assisting these ponies, the hatchling has already made his move.” Damien chuckled.

“W..what? You lie, we haven’t heard a single word from anyone since we been up here for the last fifteen minutes!” Twilight said as she finally started to stand.

“For the Sun’s my prized pupil, you aren’t that smart are? When a predator hunts it doesn’t let its pray know of its presence before it is too late. Some don’t realize it at all really; they can’t even tell when they are being distracted!” Damien said with laughter as his eyes slammed closed.

Twilight’s head flew up in shock before she rushed out the door and down to the base of the stares where Pinkie continued to stand guard, but only this time she had her party cannon ready.

“Is that the best you have Damien, or have these last couple of centuries being dormant weakened your sense of Manipulation? Did you expect such a rouse to work on me, let alone a hatchling Illusion to phase me?” She asked before swinging her tail towards some boxes causing them to disappear in a illusionary mist.

“Of course I didn’t, it was the hatchling who wished to test his flames against you, not I. I already know only Father’s fire could affect you.” Damien said with a small grin. “All I did was give him a way in undetected and get rid of the one little nuisance.”

“Well Damien, I’m through with talking; I may be allowed to guide the hatchling, but you…. You are am allowed to punish.” She said before opening her mouth and unleashing a torrent of golden fire that lit up the entire attic. The glow of her flames rivaled the sun itself as the light shined down the stairs to Twilight who was questioning Pinkie Pie.

The violet mare rushed back up the stairs just as the light had faded to find a large portion of the shop’s roof completely incinerated. There were no lingering flames or surviving rubble in the directions the dragoness aimed, only ash and two missing dragons….

“Serpent of the Abyss, you cannot escape our judgment; these trials will be over soon enough and then you will have nowhere to hide.” The dragoness roared into the night sky, waking all of Ponyville.

*****

“Tsk, just how powerful is she? And how did we get back here?” Spike asked as he sat on a rock in a dark, damp cave.

“Really, I take you halfway across Ponyville in a matter of seconds, twice and you question how we get back here?” Damien simple replied as he lay on a pile of gold.

“Oh right, dimensional magic, but that doesn’t answer my first question.” Spike continued.

“She is more powerful then I, that is for sure, even though it pains me to say it. She is after all fathers first born child. He was the only creature he taught almost all his magic to. For her, almost nothing is beyond her reach; even a new life would be possible if she wished it.” Damien replied, his voice filled with jealousy.

“A new…life…. No, none of that matters; how do we beat her?” Spike question.

“Hatchling, you are getting ahead of yourself, you don’t beat her. Before you could even consider taking her on you’d need about a million years of training. Then another Eight-hundred thousand years of training to even have a chance of winning. Plus another two-hundred thousand more to even look like you have chance of winning.” Damien replied before bursting into laughter.

“Cute….” Spike simply replied.

“So what will you do now hatchling? The gem is in your talons; will you eat it or just hold it?” Damien asked.

“Teach me!” Spike simply replied as he stood up clenching his talons. “Not just you though, I want to meet them all, bring me all seven guardians!”

“What? No dragon has ever asked to meet their guardians before their trails…..” The ebony drake replied as his lifted his brow.

“Yea, well I’m not like any dragon that you’ve ever met before!” Spike said, now directly facing Damien.

*****


“Our Spa!” The twins screamed as they saw the damage the dragoness did.

“We are so….” Twilight tried to say, but was cut off by Aloa.

“Sorry? Sorry doesn’t repair the damage done! Do you know how much this will cost to be fixed, do you?” The mare said getting angrier with each word.

“First you come to our shop, tell us all kinds of bull, force us to hind, and then destroy our shop? That is it, we are calling the guards!” Lotus said as she made her way to the door where the whole town stood waiting.

“Silence!” Eirene shouted as she stomped her hoof onto the ground, causing the foundation of the build to shake and everyone within it to fall to the ground. “ I apologize for my abruptness, but I am in no mood for this now, Twilight Sparkle, my connection to Spike has been restored for the time being it seems, and he is attempting some most startling.” Eirene said as she made her way over to the violet mare. “Things are happening too fast; the hatchlings acceptance of Damien, his level of control over the Illusionary flames, and now he seems to be calling out to his Ancestors. Just a day ago he couldn’t even hear our cries to him but now…” Eirene was doing her best to try and put the pieces if the puzzle into play.

“What are you talking about you crazy mare!” Lotus yelled, “All of you get out of our shop right this minute!”

Eirene, simply looked back with golden glowing eyes, before speaking an incantation. Once her eyes reverted to normal, and the incantation was over, she made her way to the door.

“There is nothing more we can do here ladies, I need return….” Eirene simply said before running out the door and down the street before vanishing.

“How did you all do that?” A pony yelled as he ran into the spa.

“Do what? “ The spa ponies replied.

“What, you mean you do now? Your building just, how do I put this, rewound itself back until there was no hole!” He said excitedly.

“What?” The mares all yelled before rushing outside to join the crowd, and stood in shock as the building was the same as before.

“Yea, it was as if we were watch something burn, but in reverse and with no fire. Ashe just started to pull itself together and then chemically change back to its originally state.” The pony said as he followed the group of mares.

“What is going on here?” The spa twins yelled as the main six simply look amongst each other.
