"Sleep ugh who needs it,"

he mumbled as he bit the tip a gem. As he kept walking something was shaking the grown

"huh?"

he stopped and turned around to see a stampede of buffalos

"Oh-oh," he said running.

"W-what happened?" he asked looking worried

"Oh! we where doing are daily run when we saw you in the middle of the rode you tripped on a rock and hit your head we carried you to our home and we helped you out right chief?,"

"That is correct," he said walking by

"But may I ask why are you all alone without any of your friends?"

"Oh...that," Spike put a guilty face

"I kind of...left home," he said not looking at her eyes

"W-what?...why?" she asked

"Its...a long story and I need to go....know," he said getting up and began to walk away a bit shaky but manage to keep on walking

"Later," he said plainly he wasn't in the mood for talking he wanted to leave as soon as possible

"Um...okay...bye..." she said waving her hoof out. As soon as he was gone she put a worried face

"What was that all about?" she said to herself. Spike kept on walking he swiped the sweat on his forehead night began to crawl

"I should really find somewhere to hit the hay," he thought he spotted a cave

"Not a castle but alright,"

he mumbled and put his backpack down he rest his head on a rock he wasn't sleepy he sigh

"Hey you this cave is only for the family members of the Dragon family only!" a voice from the distance said coldly, Spikes eyes went wide

"D-d-did you say Dragon family?" he asked

"Yes who are you?" 2 dragons came out one was a dark purple and had yellow scales the other one was green and had purple scales

"I'm Thorn," the green one said

"I'm Spine," the dark purple as well said

"I-I-I'm Spike...Spike the dragon I been in a journey to find out who my family is and who I am," he said firmly

"Wait...Spike?...brother?!" Spine said running up to him and looked at his arm it had a birthmark of a eye

"Oh yeah thats my birthmark...I was born with it," he said shyly, Spine showed his arm as well he had it too Thorn did the same he also had it, Spike was shock

"Y-y-your my b-brothers?" Spike asked

"Yes...come," Spine dragged Spike

"Wait," he said and quickly grabbed his backpack.

The 2 dragons took him deeper in the cave they reached the end and their was 2 larger dragons the 2 dragons bowed

"Mother, father we have finally found are long lost brother Spike,"

Thorn said the 2 dragons turned around one was female and the other a male

"I see,"

said the male getting closer to Spike smelling him and then looked at his arm

"He has the mark...hmm...but smells like a pony,"

he said

"My name is Splinter and this is my wife vine we are...your parents,"

"Your...crying," Splinter said firmly

"N-no cryings for the weak," he said Splinter put up a smirk

"I see you are strong and deny to be weak when you really are...I like that,"

"They were using you," he said

"WHAT?! NO!...not...really," he said thinking about it

"Even you are denying it," he responded

"No...not completely," he said

"But now no longer will you be living like a prisoner," Splinter said

"No longer you will have limits," Spine said

"No longer will you be left behind," Thorn said

"And no longer you will be alone now you have a family," his mom finished off, they all came in on Spike for a group hug

"No longer alone," Spike repeated and closed his eyes

"A whole new life."
