What should I do?

When the door had slammed behind him, he was prepared for a scolding of sorts, however something else was being prepared. The princesses at once both ushered him over, "Come here, Spike we have something to talk to you about. Your future is very important to us as is the rest of Equestria, however it would seem that there are some.... Mild interference's that seem to play a part in your path." With that Ember then spoke up, "The situation will be explained by Mayor Mare, as we have already explained the situation to her. We must all leave to attend to our duties, as you know being the new ruler of the dragon empire has given me little chances for casual visits!"

The blue dragoness sighed as she left the confines of the Mayors office. When she had exited she let her wingspan spread out and sighed speaking out under her breathe, "Ah thats much better, I hate being inside it is just so confined and eh...." She flew off into the sky heading back to the dragon empire all by herself without any form of transport. Leaving Spike with the Princesses and Mayor Mare, as he scratched the back of his head confused. "So uh, what exactly is going on? Why is it you 4 have been so cryptic? What do you mean there are things standing in my way? What in the hay is going on that even Ember couldn't stick around?" He had been on alert and a bit frustrated.

The first to speak up was Princess Luna, "Young spike, thy should know of the the portals within the realm of disguise, When you were younger, you were born from the egg through the power of the young Twilight Sparkle. However, with that magic was not only your birth but the creation of a specific individual named, Stain Contract. He was a crystal dragon the last of his kind that was fighting for so many eons with your family. Or at least.... Thats what Twilight had told us about when she had researched in Embers Library.... We just thought it was superstition a point of fiction. However, when he was sealed away he had put a curse upon your family.... It is what had caused your family to die so quickly and from that with your mothers last breathe she had used her green flame with which you had as your first flame to send you to us.... So many blanks that were left until you finally turned 18... Your journey is now beginning anew and you will now have a chance to get the strength and power to save your families name.... Ember is the only reason that you have earned respect over in the dragon empire. That combined with the Competition you and her were in... I know this is a lot to take in Spike... However, that is the truth from historical books and facts help to support this.... Embers father kept the library locked and never let anyone in, but when she became ruler she opened it for Twilight to have access.

When you were resting, she had borrowed some books that caught her attention... This was the history of your family and almost the end...." When she had finished both Mayor Mare and the Princesses were crying, Spike looked down back and forth surprised, shocked, a mixture of emotions and this rival to his family.... There were so many things getting to him at once, only when he saw something hit the wooden floorboard did he realize that he was crying himself. The tears were flowing and he didn't know what to do. This was too much, but in the midst of his thoughts, Princess Celestia had stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him, nestling his head between her rather large breasts. From what Spike could tell, they were at least an H-cup, the blush crept upon his face as he nestled his head into her with which he began to bawl his eyes out.

Princess Luna, had sent out for the carriage, as Princess Celestia removed him from her chest to lower herself so her head was level to his own. Wiping his tears she spoke out, "I am sorry, but we must go Spike. I hope that you can talk with Mayor Mare, and no matter what, know that we are all here for you as much as we can be. Your journey will first take you to the Dragon empire that much Information I can give you. Happy Birthday Spike, I have already talked with Mayor Mare, she will let you have a week to recover from this news. Spend it wisely, and decide if you want to bring anypony with you. Otherwise, be ready for Stain Contract for he will try to kill you no matter where you go." She kissed his forehead and headed over to the carriage, as the door was opened up for her by a royal guard. They both waved to Spike before they were off and the door closed as Mayor Mare sighed, "Shall we begin our discussion and your official Membership into Ponyville?"

Spike had walked over to the chair in front of Mayor Mare who had never left her chair. She had a serene look to her, but most would consider her to be the second oldest resident in ponyville. However, her body showed otherwise, she had been keeping it maintained with something the Spa twins were working on according to rumors allowing her to keep her young look as if she is like any other mare. If he had to guess she looked in her early thirties, however all knew she was well into her eighties. Spike looked her dead in the eyes as he nodded ready to listen. This gave Mayor Mare a chance to stand up and begin walking around the desk to wander her office in contemplation. "There is a lot to be said, and not much time to share it. So then you are of age now Spike, let me address this and say Happy Birthday!" She brought out a small gift box and handed it to him with a cheery smile. "Open it when you feel you are able. So then, Stain Contract from what I was told, is capable of bringing others in from alternate dimensions or other worlds itself. This means that beings known to be myths will pop up now and then across Equestria."

"You are from a Royal dragon bloodline Spike as you already know, you are the last of what the dragons would call the ancients. This means that you are more resilient to toxins and chemicals, and magic won't penetrate your dragon scales so well. You already know that your underbelly must be protected at all costs to keep you alive. So there are 3 reports already as of this morning, since you will have a week to recover that means I will give you time to think on each of these targets. What you are to do whenever one of these beings from another world which I think we will call, Outworlders. Is to determine if they are full of light, or darkness, beings of hope, or darkness. Once you have decided do not take immediate action unless your life is on the line. We must take action according to what you give us, if they are of light and hope then we will extend a hand to give them a place to stay. However, you must help them to understand where they are and work with them to be in negotiable conditions." She had continued walking until she had returned to the other side of her desk, she ushered her hand over for him to open up the box.

Taking the hint, he slowly undid the party wrap and removed the lid of the box as there was a glint in his eyes from what was within. Reaching his clawed hand in, he had drawn out an obsidian black pendant with a blue glow within it before looking to Mayor Mare. "W-what is this?" Mayor Mare smiled, then spoke out, "Well, that pendant was with you when you were found. It was wrapped around your egg, and with extensive research from the Princesses they had found that it has properties that could help you on your mission. What it seems to do is allow you to draw upon your inner flame, and use it to open up a Portal of light, to send those of Darkness and Evil back through to their own domains. You have the chance to save this world from destruction, with that in mind, I will personally be working with the Princesses to determine rewards based on the targets and the information we can receive. You must tell us everything no matter how small, for some beings might be able to fool you in so many ways.... So be careful out there.... Spike, you have the chance to be a Hero.... Or the bringer of destruction to our world. WE will be monitoring you to determine if your actions have gone awry, so make your decisions with caution."

Spike looked down at the pendant as he was left with so much to think about. He slowly put the pendant on, and the Mayor spoke out once more, "Last order of business!" She stood up and opened the top drawer of her desk taking something out. She threw a set of keys over to him and smirks, "You have your own house, Applejack and Big Macintosh helped to make you a house nearby the Everfree forest, I hope you don't mind when you are relaxing perhaps you can help keep any stragglers from there out of Ponyville." She giggled softly as Spike could only give a nod and with the final piece of information, he had left the office. "This is too much..... How do I tell everypony?" as if like a light bulb when the sound of the door slamming behind him it made him jump, "Twilight might be able to help!" Dashing from the porch he headed to the library.
