“That hardly sounds difficult Spike. I mean, ponies are natural labor workers, aren’t they?”

“Well the Earth Ponies are. There are different kinds of ponies, where Earth Ponies are known for having natural talent with labor in general.”

Ember blinked as she still had difficulty understanding Spike. “…So those two ponies that I saw, what kind of ponies are they?”

“Twilight and Rarity are Unicorns; they specialize in magic usage,” Spike explained.

“Ah, those horns give them power correct? And there are ponies who can fly, correct?” asked Ember. When Spike nodded, she then asked, “What are those called?”

“That is known as a Pegasus. The wings are pretty obvious, but I thought that our kind knew a lot about ponies,” confessed Spike. Particularly with one who was the daughter of the previous dragon lord, Spike was under the impression that dragons had an easier time learning about the creatures that he grew up with. “Do you have any other questions?”

Ember shook her head. “No, what else is there to know? Aside from how there’s three different types of ponies, it’s no different from our own.”

Spike raised an eyebrow.

“Oh? I thought you knew Spike; there are three different kinds of dragons. Those who fly, such as you and I, those who live in water, and those who live underground.”

“I figured as much; I thought that I was a dragon who did not grow wings when I first became this…” Spike gestured at his body figure. “It was not until I met my desires that they actually decided to appear.”

“And what was your desire?”

“Confessing to the crush of my life,” Spike said with a smile. He leaned forward and closed his eyes. “I was crazy about her, and when I finally got lucky and managed to sleep with her, I confessed my feelings. She shared the same with me and it became the happiest day of my life…”

Ember smirked with approval. “I am happy to hear that Spike. So are you two still mates?” she asked. Likely, Spike chose a female pony as his mate, given that he lived amongst their kind.

Spike frowned as he lifted his head and opened his eyes. “Well…it’s complicated.”

“Excuse me?”

“Well, we haven’t exactly seen each other eye to eye; I haven’t spent the night with her in weeks,” Spike explained with a slight blush. Yes, it was embarrassing to bring up the fact that his fillyfriend was not intimidate with him recently, but the subject became decreasingly sensitive.

Ember was surprised to hear that from Spike, as she was under the impression that his life was enjoyable to his standards. It was difficult enough to believe that he actually worked for income, and this was no different. “So you do not find her attractive anymore?”

The question brought confusion to the purple dragon’s mind. “W-Well no; she’s still attractive to me. The issue goes beyond any form of attractiveness…”

“Hmmm…”

“I guess there’s just no satisfaction with our relationship… It’s like, what’s the point of us even being in one if it leads to nowhere?”

“Hmmmm…”

“Maybe having a family together one day would be nice, but we can’t exactly cross breed with ponies at all.”

That last statement caused Ember’s expression to change softly. “…” She looked up towards the ceiling and asked, “Is that what you desire Spike? To have a youngling with your mate?”

Spike looked to the side as he rubbed his neck. “At first, I thought that Rarity would care whether or not we could have a kid together or not. Yet, the more I realize it, I am the one who wants to have a kid with her. She seemed content with having adoption as an option, but that doesn’t seem good enough…”

“I am sorry to hear that Spike,” said Ember honestly. “But you’ll have to come with terms with the fact that you’ll have to mate with a dragon in order to have an offspring of your own.” Ember looked up and blinked slowly. “…I think I am done.”

Spike watched as Ember got up and made her way to the door, prompting him to follow. After all, he was here for quite some time before she joined him. “I suppose you’re right.” Spike sighed in relief as the air condition felt quite nice after spending so much time in a humid room. He shook his body slightly and felt relief before asking, “How long are you going to stay here Ember?”

“I am not sure at the moment. Perhaps I’ll leave tomorrow or the day after. Right now, I am interested in learning more about ponies since you told me a few interesting things about them.”

“Then you’re going to spend time with Princess Celestia as well?” he assumed.

Ember nodded slightly as she walked over to the left. There, fresh clean towels awaited her while she began to remove the one that covered her body. “Nhhh, I worked up a good sweat…” She sighed in relief as she dropped her sweat drenched towel and grabbed one of the clean ones.

“EMBER!”

Ember’s ears perked as she heard her name being called in such an urgent matter. “Hmmm?” She rubbed her face dry and asked, “What is it Spike?”

“Could you NOT just casually expose yourself?!” Spike then argued, facing away from Ember with a red blush across his cheeks. It was no secret that Ember was an appealing dragon, as even with the armor she wore when they met, he could tell that she was quite the prize to glaze upon without shame. Her tail swooshed gracefully as his eyes read the perfect curves that shaped her perfect body.

Ember moved the towel her neck and turned her upper body towards him, paying no mind to her exposed lower regions. “What is wrong Spike?”

“You’re naked!”

“I know…?”

“WHY are you so comfortable revealing your sex to me without any concern???” asked Spike. When no answer was heard, Spike called out to her. “Ember?” No response. After a few seconds, he slowly turned around and repeated himself. “Ember? Are you listening- AH!”

Spike nearly jumped as Ember was now facing him completely…while standing only a few feet away from him. “I am actually offended Spike; Do you find me unappealing?” she snarled, raising an eyebrow as well.

“W-What?????” Spike’s face turned redder as he forced himself to make direct eye contact with her. Yes, he was only an inch taller than her, but his curiosity was forcing him to glance slightly below her chin. While only for a few seconds, it made him increasingly uncomfortable.

“I am assuming based on your reaction, Ponies are not natural about nudity?” she assumed, taking his upbringing into consideration. “It’s not uncommon for us dragons to display oneself ostentatiously for others.”

“Seriously…?” Spike knew that his kind had pride, but…

“Of course,” said Ember with a small smile as she crossed her arms. “Displaying our bodies without shame is completely natural. Mind you, we don’t do this regularly as you can tell from your previous experiences with our kind, but moments like this is quite common. After all, you did not seem to mind the fact that I joined you with only a towel; I had assumed that you knew this?”

“W-Well it was only because you covered most of your body with a towel that I was completely fine with that,” confessed Spike. It was true, as everything between her thighs and collar bone was not originally visible to him. Thus it mattered little until she actually removed her towel. “So yeah, ponies don’t normally expose themselves like our kind does… I didn’t offend you did I?” he asked.

Ember’s eyes casually rolled when asked that very question. “Yes, yes you did. I expect better treatment from one of my subjects Spike,” she explained.

Now Spike was getting annoyed. “I am not exactly aligned with dragons Ember; I am more of a subject with Princess Celestia,” Spike pointed out.

“Excuse me? Spike, you’re a dragon; All dragons are my subjects as by the rules of our kinship. We dragons must traditionally abide by these rules known as our code of honor. If anything, I am entitled to whatever I see fit with said subjects,” Ember said firmly. Really, how dare he disrespect me by insisting the opposite? she thought, feeling disgusted with her subject.

“…” Now Spike’s brow furrowed as Ember’s words continued to create annoyance within him. Holy buck, she’s being a pain in the ass! Are we always this egoistic? he wondered. Yes, she had prideful, no doubt. Yet, this was the first time that they were able to have a conversation without any distractions. It was obvious how arrogant she was when regarding their relationship and roles together. “Well I am sorry, but I don’t have to take this.” With that, Spike turned away and made his way towards the clean towels. Without hesitating, he switched towels and happily tossed his dirty one away to the side.

“…” Ember glared with disapproval before making her way towards Spike from behind. Her expression changed the moment Spike exposed his body for a few seconds. A smirk suddenly formed on her lips when she spotted the well-toned structure of his rear. In fact, it was only now that with his towel removed, his natural body scent had the freedom to flow within the surrounding space. The smell was appealing to Ember, causing her pupils to sharpen for a brief moment before she sighed in relief. “Nice ass,” she complimented, before her eyes returned to normal.

“Huh?” Spike blinked the moment he heard that comment. “T-Thanks- AH!” Spike yelped for a second as he felt Ember’s claws sinking into his rear, maintaining a firm grip without hesitation. “CLAWS OFF!”

“Well aren’t you sensitive,” noted Ember. She easily released him the moment he pulled away and faced her completely. Oh my, did he smell simply wonderful. Unfortunately, she did not get a chance to properly examine his mating tool, much to her displeasure. “Stop hiding it Spike…”

“Ember, there’s a thing called consent; I am not comfortable with you sexually harassing me,” Spike said with distaste. “Maybe if you considered my feeling a little more, I wouldn’t have a problem mating with you,” he added.

“Seriously?”

“I mean it; You’re attractive and all but you seem a bit inconsiderate…” To be honest, while Ember was naturally appealing as a female of his species, her personality was not. “I thought that you learned that from our conversations before...”

Ember was a prideful dragon; Spike’s opinion of her did mean something since she viewed him as a valuable subject. Even if he did not agree with his status in her eyes. That however did not prevent her from yielding and humbling herself. “I suppose you’re right Spike. Especially since you’re a dragon that was raised differently than other dragons. Let alone, how I was raised,” she explained.

“…”

“I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. Do you acceptable my apology?” asked Ember. Stepping forward, she moved a hand onto her hip before reaching out with the other. Her wings were spread completely as her tail swooshed every few seconds. She looked into his eyes with determination, wanting to prove to him that his feelings did matter to her.

“Do you mean it?” asked an unconvinced Spike. However, Spike began to believe her the longer she held out her hand. Thus, he moved his to grasp her hand with acceptance. “Thank you Ember,” he said with a small smile.

Pleased with the response, Ember smiled and nodded while shaking his hand gently. “Of course Spike; You do matter to me…”

“…” Spike watched as Ember moved slightly closer before wrapping her arms around his neck. It wasn’t when considering how little difference there was with their respective height. Her smile became more and more devilish, indicating her naughty side and desires. The stare finally broke the moment he felt her snout making contact with his. “Nhh!” He flinched slightly as her tongue on his nose was unexpected.

“Hmmm?” Ember blinked when she saw his reaction. “…You’ve really never received affection from another dragon, have you?” When Spike chuckled in embarrassed, she closed her eyes with a small smile. “Well then you should know something: I am not as merciful as you would expect.”

That comment surprised Spike as he asked, “What do you mean?” Spike’s eyes widened as Ember suddenly nibbled on his lips. Almost as if she was snapping at him, the speed and impact took Spike by surprised. It did not stop there, as Ember continued her nibbling all over his face without warning. Her lips seemed different than what he was expecting, as they were softer than he was expecting. Then again, no pony that he ever kissed would complain about texture of his lips. Yet it was surprising how sensitive his face whenever her lips made contact.

Ember smirked as Spike’s reaction was pleasing to the core. Especially as he “tried” to pull away from her. And by “tried”, more in the sense where he only moved his head and nothing else below it. Clearly he was willing to take some form of chance with her version of affection, and she appreciated his own efforts. “Never been kissed before Spike?” she teased.

“D-Dragons are d-d-different…” Spike blinked as his face turned redder and redder. It got worse for Spike as she started to focus between where his ear connected to his head. Some odd sounds then emerged from Ember, reminding him a mix of purring and whimpering as if she was the one being treated.

I wonder if he even realizes how different dragon pheromones are to ponies, wondered Ember. His own scent was appealing, as he clearly had better hygiene given that his own pheromones were less tainted than other dragons. “Hmmmmmm you smell quite nice Spike…”

Spike’s grew redder as Ember continued her attack on him, causing him to finally sit down on the bench and causing her to release him.

“Now let’s see what you have provided for me,” commented Ember. She slowly lowered herself to her knees and slowly moved the towel out of the way. As expected, his erection immediately sprang up without warning. The tip gently tapped the tip of her snout causing her to flinch for a mere second. Her pupils turned slit, as the pre-cum that he was leaking stimulated her senses to the point where she took her head twice and blinked repeatedly. “Wow that’s strong,” she said, looking at his penis with still slit pupils. She did not expect Spike’s penis to carry such a unique scent.

Spike’s observation made him wonder if he still had traces of that strange purple semen that he produced a while ago. While he was sure that Cadence sucked what was left out of him, he never really cleaned himself afterwards. Regardless, he bit his lip as Ember had no issue with getting straight work with her tongue. She placed her claws against his inner legs and spread them before sticking out her long dragon tongue against his penis. It was something else, watching a long tongue like hers actually wrapping around his penis in a unique matter. Afterwards, Ember moved forward and began to take it all into her mouth.

Ember slowly moved her head up and down. While tightening her tongue to maintain proper control of his penis, she realized that he was twitching a lot sooner than expected. It wasn’t even a minute and he was already possibly about to cum. “Mhmmm mah mmmama mnm, fma muu?”

“I-I can’t help it-” he managed to respond. “Oh Celestia how are you so good at this?” he then moaned. Spike never expected his ejaculation to approach this fast, especially when his previous experiences and recent sexual releases. Dragons were clearly on a different level than ponies.

He is a virgin with dragons after all, thought Ember, finally coming to terms with it. Spike was clearly no different than a dragon who never mated, which would typically be with another dragon instead of ponies. Oh well, she would have to work with what she had at the moment. “Ah… Okay, you clearly can’t handle my mouth.”

“Huh?” Spike blinked as Ember released his penis and stood up while licking her lips. She then grasped his arm to lift him up, and move him right behind her.

“Now please me…” Ember released him and moved towards the wall where he recently leaned against. “I am not one who like to be left waiting longer than I have to…” Presenting herself, Ember moved her hands against the wall and spread her body, lifting her tail slightly upwards and separating her buns without care. As expecting, her crotch carried the same color tone that covered the center portions of her body. Interestingly enough, she did not show any indication of arousal from first glance, save for the scent that her body produced.

I can’t take it anymore, Spike thought shamefully. His instincts were starting to get the better of him, as mounting Ember and ravaging her like a cheap whore was dominating his mind. Although by some miracle, Spike remembered that foreplay was essential to a mating session, dragon or not. Thus, the horny dragon licked his lips as he moved forward and lowered to one knee before grasping her beautiful rear. Spreading her sweet buns apart, Spike’s nose perked in reaction to the gentle flow of arousal that escaped from her body. Gently trailing down her crotch, Spike’s lips were licked before being pressed against Ember. First making contact with her clit, Spike began to nibble repeatedly while sucking in what juices were available to him. Perhaps the most unique thing to come out of this, was for Spike to experience the taste of a female dragon. The scent now combined with the taste greatly aroused the senses within Spike. Never did he expect to enjoy himself as much as he did with Ember’s crotch. It made him understand what exactly he was missing out when it came to dragon pussy.

“NHHHHHHHH!”

Spike blinked as he failed to immediately realize the waterfall of dragon nectar pouring into his mouth. Clearly Ember had squirted in response to an orgasm that occurred without warning. Not complaining, Spike continued to lick up and down and swallow what Ember presented him with. The taste made his face even redder, causing him to close his eyes in a gentle matter as if he were about to fall asleep. He could feel her body twitching slowly but surely.

“HMMMMM~” she cooed in a gentle matter. A small snarl-like yelp escaped, before converting into a satisfying moan. Her tail was raised up high for a few moments before gently yielding to gravity. “HMmmm… My word you are restless; you didn’t bother to stop and give this dragon a chance to rest.”

“HMM?” Spike muffed before opening his eyes.

“Nhhh I came like three times in the last ten minutes and you refused to stop…” Ember sighed softly as Spike finally gave her a chance to move freely. He’s hungrier than a starving wolf… He had the nerve to test me like that, noted Ember with slight distaste. Yes ,it was enjoyable but she held pride with her position; she expected him to listen to her demands.

“Ten minutes?” asked Spike. But I was against her rear for only one…wasn’t I? he wondered. However, before he could properly process that thought, he felt a firm hold on his penis. He immediately looked down to see that her claws had positive control of him.

“Now then, I expect you to please my sex…”

“Are you in heat?” asked Spike, now questioning her sudden desires for him.

Ember rolled her eyes as she tightened her hold, causing a yelp to occur from Spike. “I bet you would love that, wouldn’t you?”

“W-What?” yelped Spike.

“Oh please; you’re no different than any of the other horny dragons back home! You males thrive whenever a female is in heat. Thus in her most venerable state, completely helpless against any who found them. I’ve witness many females fall victim to savage gangbangs left and right, all to please both said males and themselves,” Ember explained calmly.

“What- that’s basically rape!” protested Spike. “I would never force-”

“Force? HA! More like mutual consent; once you’re in heat or you become aroused by one who is, instincts take over,” Ember said with a smirk before releasing her hold on him. “We’re more feral than you think Spike. It’s perfectly natural to give into your sexual desires…” Ember guided Spike to sit down before stroking his penis. “After all, that’s all that we’re doing now, aren’t we? Giving in?”

“Well you’re not wrong,” admitted a flushed purple dragon. Yes, he wanted to screw Ember regardless of how their relationship was. And yes, even with the way how she spoke to him beforehand. “So would you be okay if I came inside of you?” he asked, very curious with how far Ember would go with him if this was truly all “lust”.

“Oh? Trying to impregnate me?” asked Ember.

“Oh yeah; you’re a dragon like me… I guess this would be the first time where there’s a ‘risk’ huh?” asked Spike. He laughed a bit at the thought, never realizing how convenient sex was for him.

Ember also laughed. “Well between you and me, I wouldn’t mind in all honesty?”

“What?”

“Well as Dragon Lord, I think that having an heir of my own is appropriate. Thus, I am seeking any dragon who could provide me with wonderful genetics that compliment mine,” she said.

Spike was stunned to hear this, considering that it was so casual coming from Ember. She actually found him to appealing enough to be “worthy” of fathering her offspring? Also, he was getting the impression that single parenting was a thing; wouldn’t she tell him if they were committed mating partners should she become pregnant? Wait, she would tell him, right?

“Um, doesn’t this mean that we would have to be together or something?” asked Spike.

Ember rolled her eyes as she faced away from him. “It matters little; should two dragons decide to stay together and raise their shared offspring, that’s their business and no other dragon’s. Our culture does not care to frown nor approve dual parenting or single.” With a turning of the head, Ember added, “After all, my father raised me single-handedly.”

Spike blinked as he once again misinterpreted his own heritage. “I don’t know, seems kinda- OPH!” Spike’s oblivious nature allowed him to be surprised by Ember’s tight body. Without much resistance, he felt his penis penetrating into her body almost instantly. He lost his breath for only a moment before shutting his eyes. “WOW!” he then said, never realizing how deliciously tight dragons could be. It felt so weird despite the pleasure it brought to his body. He couldn’t help but hold his head with both claws, attempting to comprehend their connection. “GRHHHHH!” he grunted loudly. Ember’s vagina seemingly knew what made him tick, as the texture was complementing the most sensitive of nerves on his penis.

OH BUCKKKKKK! OHHHHHHHHH BUUUUUCK! NHHHHHHHHH! Spike did not know if he was going to last long enough to even experience movement with Ember. In fact, he was pretty sure that he would climax with the slightest of movement. Mercy please-

Spike bit his lip as Ember was moving without a single care in the world. Each movement felt better than the last, making Spike wonder if he was having sex for the first time, and everything else was just foreplay in comparison. Sex was never this good whenever he did a pony…

“HMMMM!” Ember licked her lips in a satisfying matter. Spike’s penis was wonderfully crafted, without a single flaw felt. Clearly the genetics passed by his bloodline were superior compared to other dragons. So long and thick, his penis met the satisfaction levels that her body desired. How she managed to maintain balance while gracefully bouncing up and down was a mystery. How are my legs so calm? she wondered.

Celestia how come only dragons feel this amazing? It’s like her vagina has a mind of its own! thought a impressed Spike. Her insides tended to his penis in ways that he never experienced. In fact, he was pretty sure that he just came. “…”

“…Ugh, really?”

“I-I can’t help it- You feel so amazing!”

Ember rolled her eyes as she finally took the time to acknowledge the small unimpressive load that Spike just released. It didn’t help that he released the moment her body stopped at the head. “You’re going to make up for this Spike.”

“No argument here Ember,” agreed Spike. “So I am pretty sensitive right now and- NHHH!” Spike moaned loudly as Ember had other plans. “Oh really???” he asked, somewhat whining. He grunted as Ember continued to ride his penis without care. It was so slippery and he was so sensitive right now. “P-P-Please slow it down!” he begged.

“No bucking way!” growled an impatient Dragon Lord. If she was allowing Spike the privilege to enjoy her body, then she was going to get something out of this. And not just from potentially mothering an heir. She had needs and desires, so it was only right for Spike to take responsibility. “Now be a real dragon and pleasure me!” she demanded, expecting him to be more forceful.

“Nhhhhh…FINE.”

Spike glared with burning passion as he decided to take dominance as per her request. Resisting the sensitivity that he felt, Spike used all of his will power to grab her and force her forward.

“OFFH!”

Spike had forced Ember to the smooth wooden floor where they suddenly disconnected. However, that did not stop Spike from continuing his assault on her body. Forcing her head against the floor with a claw, Spike took his time moving into a mounting position with her rear lifted up high. He then entered her once again, feeling his penis sliding into her with ease thanks to his premature release.

“AH DAMN YOU SPIKE…” Ember grunted stubbornly, as she was not expecting to be against the floor. Yes, she was pleased that he was taking a more aggressive approach as to her liking, but her face was uncomfortable. Still, at least she was getting one hell of a buck from him. “…HMMMM!”

A smile soon formed on her lips, which were then licked after a few seconds. So big was he, and so deep did he penetrate her. Doggy style was her absolute favorite, as it often allowed her partner to pleasure her the proper way. His movements were harder, smacking against her rear while he pumped in and out of her. At this rate she would orgasm and release a proper release from him.

“GHNnnnn…” Spike snarled as his frustration made him revert himself to a more feral nature. He became less reasonable with her well-being as he just wanted the satisfaction of releasing his seed into her. After all, what else was the best way for a male dragon to showcase dominance over a female dragon? Just maintaining this form of intercourse was not enough for Spike.

“NHMMHHH HARDER…”

While Spike heard her request, his mind had already planned ahead. “Shut up; I already decided to do that…”

His disrespectful remark amused her. “O-Oh really? I- GUNN! N-Never took you for a considerate one!” she grunted, really feeling it now. The experience improved when Spike decided to grab both her arms and force her upper body upwards. Now this was a position that Ember really enjoyed, as it was fun and exciting for the two of them. Hell Spike was really letting her have it by this point. Now she was getting that desired intensive climax that her body had been aching. “AHHHHH YESSSSSSS! YESSSS! HARDER DAMN YOU!”

Holy buck she’s a crazy one, admitted Spike. A few blinks and hearing Ember helped his mind become less feral. Then again, it brought such a rush to him, what was the harm in enjoying it? Especially when Ember’s sudden cries of pleasure and trembling indicated her desired second climax. The improved tightness was also a nice touch, as he continued to thrust at a steady pace. It was not disappointing!

Enjoying the frequent thrusting from Spike, Ember expected his release to soon follow. Thus, she tightened her lower regions to intensify the sensation that they both shared. The fun increased when she actually began to feel his mouth on her neck. As she had hoped, Spike instinctively bit on her neck in order to maintain her position. The erotic act itself brought chills down her spine and caused her to produce sounds of approval. Oh how she wished that she got a chance to sink her teeth into him as well. After another good minute, “!”

Pleasure rushed between the two dragons in an explosive matter. Spike ceased his thrusting and simply pressed as deeply as he possibly could into Ember. So tight, so pleasurable, it was everything that he could desire in sex. Same could be said for Ember who could only crunch her teeth and drool from both corners of her mouth. She naturally yielded to Spike’s increasing weight that rested on her body after feeling his teeth leaving her neck. After all, he earned that right before she felt his penis moving out of her without trouble.

“Wow Ember… Thank you!” Spike praised. He grasped his cum drenched penis and stroked it slightly to induce the pleasure. “Dragon sex is amazing,” he then confessed.

“Hmmnnn…” Ember closed her eyes and slowly adjusted her position. “Well…I have to say that you did not disappoint me Spike; I-I had assumed that one who only had experience with ponies would need to practice before being able to pleasure me properly.”

Spike raised an eyebrow as he slowly sat on his rear, taking a deep breath. “Why? Sex is sex isn’t it?” he asked.

“Not always. Then again, this is the first instance that I’ve mated with one who lacked experience with a dragon. But just as I said, you did not disappoint,” she said.

Pleased with her response, Spike closed his eyes and leaned backwards. “…” He opened his eyes. “So um…are you really going to get pregnant?”

“The possibility is there. But let’s see what happens,” she explained, taking a moment to adjust her position again. Leaning on her side and facing away from him, Ember twisted her upper body slightly to see the flow of semen that left her insides. The smell was very strong compared to what he released into her mouth. “Ugh, now I am going to need to bathe…”

“You want company?” offered Spike, now excited with the idea of dragon sex.

“Oh please; you believe that just because we mated that we will do EVERYTHING together now? This is personal free time for me…” Ember slowly stood on her legs and winced as more of the semen flowed out of her tight cunt. “Hmmm…I’ll see you around…” With that, Ember weakly reached for her towel and left Spike alone.

Spike frowned as he too stood up, wanting to spend more time with Ember. However, he knew that he still had some things to do before meeting with the princesses again today. Grabbing a clean towel, he began to clean and cover himself. “I am hungry again,” he decided.

Spike walked towards the doorway and found himself on the other side without anybody to greet him. Confused, he waited where he was first tended by the masseuses and masseur, expecting them to return shortly. Thankfully, he only waited for another five minutes before seeing one of them appear.

“Oh, my apologies Sir Spike!” said the mare. “I did not keep you waiting for long did I?” When Spike smiled and shook her head, she happily held the door wider. “Well right this way! Your mud bath is almost ready,”

Spike frowned. “My what?”

*Ten minutes later*

“Huh, Rarity was right: this feels nice!”

“Glad that you like it Sir Spike!” said the happy mare. “Is the seaweed wrap bothering you?” she then asked.

“Not all; can’t feel it,” said a mud-covered dragon. “So how long do I need to stay in here?”

“Depends on how you feel; since you’re a dragon and not a pony, I say that it’s best until you feel like leaving. I know nothing of how long it takes for dragons to gain benefit from this treatment,” she confessed.

“Then I’ll wait for like half an hour or something…” Spike relaxed even more as the masseuse left him alone to ponder his thought. Hmmm maybe I should go to the spa just for this when I get back, thought Spike. It naturally aroused his curiosity to other spa treatments that he was missing out on. Yes, he did go to the spa occasionally with his friends but never went beyond getting a massage. Now he knew what he wanted the next time he visited the spa.

“Spike!”

Spike opened his eyes. “…” He removed the cucumbers from his eyes and blinked. Looking to his right, he saw a restless Princess Luna standing at the door. Her mane looked worse than before and her shaking indicated impatience.

“Come with me, NOW!” she said in a hasty tone.

“W-What’s the issue-”

Spike however felt his body being levitated from the mud bath and forcibly sent towards Luna herself. “WOAH!”

“I’ll explain later!” she responded, looking behind her to make sure that none was nearby. Once convinced, Luna’s horn glowed and both had vanished in a puff of blue smoke.

“Oh, I forgot Sir Spike: would you like something to drink? You must be thirsty after spending time in the sauna!” offered the returning masseuse. However, she froze as a small trail of mud was seen from the bath, to where she stood. “…Where did he go…?”

Author's Note

Hi everyone I am SO sorry that you never received the chapters that I had written. I was being sent away for military purposes and I swore that I left you two chapters before I would lose internet privileges (at least stable; internet is pointless on a ship) and only now did I actually get a solid indication that this chapter and another was never posted. Anyways, I am going to go ahead and release the second chapter in a little. It's pretty short, but leading to a much longer one.

Ciao for now~
