When Twilight Sparkle came to Ponyville, She quickly became a part of the town, bringing Spike with her as an assistant. But despite that, no one really knew where Spike came from himself; Even he didn't know for sure. But when a dragon going by the name of Smoke-scales sells him a book containing all he would ever want to know about the mystical creatures, Spike must come to terms with his own instinctive behavior, and choose between the Spike that everyone knows and the Spike he truly is.
