Visit One after two weeks after Ion shows up...

This was not how Spike wanted to spend his gem hunting days with Rarity. He really hope it was like the other gem hunting days. Just finding gems and hanging out with Rarity. But it appear someone else has ideas. When he was digging for gems, Rarity what caught and tie up by the Diamond Dogs. They just cover her mouth when Spike pop up. Seeing Rarity tie up made him stand up to them but, his diminutive size and unintimidating childlike appearance did little to scare or frighten the Diamond Dogs. So Spike was left with no choice, he had to run to get help. He would try to save Rarity but, he knew Rarity could take care of herself. Through he did wonder how was was going to get out of this one. What he didn't know is that the Diamond Dogs was following him. Spike kept running until he reach a high pile of dirt, he try to climb, but it was too loose to kept his grip. He slid back down and was surrounded by the Diamond Dogs, blocking any escape.

"Finally, we caught ones who took our gems." Rover said as he walk up to Spike.

"Took? You guysgaveher those gems." Spike remind them.

"Yeah, to make her stop the horrible noises." Fido said, covering his ears as if he could hear Rarity's whining right now.

"Yes, and now she will give us back that which she stole from us and more when we hold their precious dragon hostage! Get the dragon; we'll make those ponies pay!" Rover said then order.

Spike was trap and he knew it. He was about to shout for help when a new voice spoke.

"My, my, what have we here? Sssomething exciting!?"

The Diamond Dogs halted their charge and looked in the direction of the unknown voice. Spike, too, gazed in the same direction and was shocked at what he saw. It was a dragon. He was as tall as Rover, his body was like that of a pegasus, lean, but strong, a stark contrast to Spike's more lanky form when he was like that. His scales were a vermillion color, with a lighter shade on his underbelly. A long tail whipped back and forth, giving out a cracking sound. Dark orange spines ran down from his head to his tail, their shape resembling flickering flames. On his forehead was strange symbol, almost as if he were etched into his scales.

Spike was shock to see another dragon around this parts. In fact he didn't recall seeing any dragons the last few times he was here.

"What do we do with that one?" Fido asked.

"Humph, he's not valuable, not like him," Rover pointed to Spike, making him jump. "Get rid of that other dragon, and do it NOW!"

A few of the Diamond Dogs broke away and started climb up the dirt wall with much more easy then Spike. However, the orange dragon did not flinch, he merely smirked confidently. He then started to climb down the dirt moving around much like a snake, using his tail to smack the Diamond Dogs off the wall and one the ground. The orange dragon reach the ground and stood in front of Spike as if he was protecting him.

"Who esssle, isss next?" He asked.

Rover just growl before he bark, telling the other to kill the dragon. Spike was about to tell the dragon to run, when he charge back at the Diamond Dogs. One of them try to up him, but the orange dragon caught him and threw him into another Diamond Dog while still running. Three more reach the dragon and to to swipe him with their claws, but the dragon spin around and wack them with his long tail. Two move jump on him thinking the had pin him down, but the Dragon lift them and threw them away. The Diamonds Dogs got back up and surround him and jump at him once thinking a dog pile will work better.

The orange dragon snickered at them as his body began to flare with vermillion light. At the last second, the light burst forth, engulfing the Diamond Dogs in a field of orange light energy. Rover, Fido, Spot, Spike, and the remaining armored dogs all covered their eyes from the blinding, powerful light emitted from the dragon's power. When the light faded, the armored beasts were all strewn upon the ground, unconscious and groaning in discomfort. Strangely though, the orange dragon was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did he go?!" Rover shouted.

"Here." A voice said that made Rover jump in fear.

The dragon grab Filo and Spot and slam him on the ground and grab Rover with his tail and threw him but, down. Rover got back up but he was too dizzy.

"Which way did go George? Which way did he go?" He asked stupidly.

Spike smirk as he walk up to him.

"He went that way." Spike said.

"Thanks George, you're a real pal." Rover said stupidly and turn only to fall on his face.

Spike just laugh at the act. It was something he wasn't going to forget for a long time. The Orange Dragon just snicker as Spike caught his breath.

"Thanks for the save back there." Spike said.

The orange Dragon just shrug.

"Ssso, who are you? Haven't ssseen one of your kind here," said the orange dragon.

"Um…uh…my-my name is Spike, and I live in Ponyville," Spike said simply.

"I sssee." The orange dragon said.

Spike was wondering why the dragon didn't make fun of him living with ponies when he remember something.

"RARITY!" He shouted

"Who?" The orange dragon asked.

"She's my friend. She was tie up by the Diamonds Dogs before the went after me." Spike told him.

"Then lead the way." The orange dragon said.

The two reach Rarity who was left behind when the Diamonds Dogs and she was not happy. He sour mood fade when she saw Spike returning, but was surprise to see another dragon with him. Spike uncover Rarity's mouth and smile at her.

"Oh Spike, are you already?" Rarity asked as the another dragon untie the ropes around.

"I fine. Thanks to...um?" Spike said before he never asked for the dragon's name.

"My name isss Ophidian." He said.

"Well, Ophidian thanks you for saving Spike and myself. Here something for your troubles." Rarity said and give Ophidian one of the gems she and Spike found.

"Thank you?" Ophidian said in surprise.

"Is something wrong?" Rarity asked.

"No, no, It'sss fine." Ophidian said.

"Say maybe you could drop by Ponyville; I could introduce you to my other friends?" Spike asked.

"Sssorry, but no…I'd like to keep my presssence here a secret, at leassst between usss. Nothing againssst your friendsss, but I've been…run out of town more than once, and would rather not have to up and move." Ophidian said.

"How long have you been here dear?" Rarity asked.

"To be honessst I haven't been here long. I've been…wandering around, ssseaching for a place to call my own." Ophidian answer.

"Okay then we won't tell anyone." Spike said before he and Rarity started the Pinkie Promise.

"Cross my heart hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."

Ophidian just rise an eyebrow at the action, reminding him of the other way.

"Is there, uh, any chance we could, you know, hang out sometime? I wanted to ask you some things, but if you don't want…" Spike asked him

Ophidian regarded the young drake for a moment, thinking if it was in his best interest, but after a few seconds he smirked, "Yesss, why don't we meet up again. Right here in a couple of days, same time."

That made Spike happy. A dragon that didn't mind him being with ponies and still wanted to hang out with him.

"But what about the Diamond Dogs?" Rarity asked.

"Don't worry, they won't be a problem, trust me on that," Ophidian said with a smirk.

"Well, Spike we better get back. I have some dresses to make and you can take a few gem home after that." Rarity said.

"Really?! Thanks Rarity. Bye Ophidian." Spike said as the two walk off.

Ophidian watch as they disappear before turning around and walk to his newfound cave. Instead was lots of treasure he had found during his stay. He then held up his gem, it was orange like his new scales. It was weird, he was use to taking things from others, not given things from them. He walk up to his throne and sat down still looking at the gem. If it was any other gem he would have threw it with the rest of the treasure, but he instead place it on the hand made self he had. Ophidian just smile.

"Spike, you have lots of Avarice inside of you but you keep it lock up inside. Once I free it you will be MINE!" He said with a toothy smile.

Second Visit three weeks after Adara show up...

Spike had met up with Ophidian a few days later surprise to see that Ophidian found a cave to live it and it was fill with tons of treasure. He spotted Ophidian sitting on what look like a throne munching on some gems. Spike walk up to him letting him eat in peace. Ophidian look up and saw Spike standing there.

"Ssspike, good to sssee you." He said getting up.

"Hey Ophidian sorry dude, I got held up with uh…some…chores." Spike winced, preparing himself to be bombarded with teases.

"Oh, no big then, you're here now, so let'sss get started." Ophidian said.

Spike was shock to hear that. When he met other dragons they tease him about living and working for ponies, but Ophidian didn't. He decide to asked him about.

"I just noticed that, ever since we first met, you've never made fun of me for being raised by ponies. The last time I met dragons they tease me about it. Why did you?" Spike said.

Ophidian shrugged.

"I don't sssee much point in it; one can't help who they are raised by more often than naught. You seem happy enough, doesss there need to be a reason why that should be a cause for mockery?" He asked.

"No, I just, I told you about the other dragons I met, and they didn't exactly think much of me when they found out…" Spike trail off.

"Humph, fools the whole lot. It takes a critical and discerning to see the value in another object or living thing. And you, Spike, have such an eye." Ophidian said.

"Thanks dude." Spike said with a smile before seeing the orange gem that Rarity give Ophidian.

"Hey isn't that the gem Rarity gave you?" Spike asked.

"Yesss, I have kept it as my mossst prize treasure. It was the first time I wasgivensomething instead of taking." He said.

"Taking?" Spike asked.

"I never knew my parentsss so I never learn the means of giving, just taking. It the reason I was drive out of town ssso many timesss." Ophidian explain with a cover story.

"Sorry to hear that dude. Through Twilight did a good job rising me, I knew never my parents either." Spike said.

"Ssspeaking of which, Spike, how goes things with that mare you were with when we first met? What was her name? Oh yes, Rarity!" Ophidian asked.

"Spike was caught off guard by the question, but recover quickly.

"R-Rarity well – I mean – I've tried but," Spike sighed remorsefully, "Ophidian, I…I'm starting to think I don't stand a chance with her… Wait how did you know about that?"

"I see the way you act when we free her. I may not understand love like my sssister, but I know it when I see it." He said.

Spike look down and told him about the first day he met Rarity, back when Twilight was still a unicorn. Ophidian listen and saw some of Spike's Greed raise a bit when he did.

"But, Rarity still won't see me as anything than her 'little Spikey-Wikey' to be honest, I liked it, but now it's starting to get annoying. I used to take it as just her pet name for me, but now I'm starting to think she doesn't take my feelings seriously…" Spike said.

"I sssee. Like I said, I don't really understand love but have to try talking to her about it?" Ophidian asked him.

"Well, not really, she did claim she knew at one point when I turn into a huge dragon when I got too greedy." Spike said.

'Ssso, he hasss let hisss greed get to him before. But he change back.'Ophidian thought.

"Had did that happen?" He asked.

"Well, it was on my birthday and I was given many gifts. It was so nice I wanted more, so I went around telling all ponies it was my birthday and was given more gifts, but I didn't stop. I just wanted more. I later learn that I had dragon greed inside of me. And I was unable to stop myself. I become a huge dragon and case problems all over Ponyville. Once I was back to normal I gave every thing back and work on control my greed so it doesn't happen again." Spike explain.

Ophidian remain quiet. In a way he could understand what Spike was telling him. He may take things, but he always runs away to keep it. He never try's to harm anyone unless they stood in his way. Spike said he was trying to control his greed. It might make it hard from him to use him as a host, but maybe he could help with that.

"Alright Spike. How about I teach you my oath?" Ophidian said.

"You have oath?" Spike asked.

"Yesss, I use it when I want something. You said you want to control your greed? Maybe my oath can help." Ophidian said

"Wow, I didn't know you had you own Dragon Oath." Spike said.

Ophidian just laugh.

"Now listen closely, This power is mine, this is my light, Be it in Bright of Day or Black of Night! I lay claim to all that falls within my sight, To take what is MINE, that is my right!" Ophidian said.

"That sounds a little wrong." Spike said.

"Yes, but it sssoo much better then the other oath." Ophidian said.

"The other oath?" Spike asked.

"What's mine is mine and mine and mine. And mine and mine and mine! Not yours!" Ophidian said.

"Wow that is worst." Spike said.

"Yesss, my oath will help you control your greed. It will let the amount greed you want to have without making you huge." Ophidian smile.

"Really? Well thanks. I better get back home. Twilight is going to get worry." Spike said and got up, he was sitting down during the whole visit.

"Of courssse. Sssee you later Spike." Ophidian said as Spike ran out after a quick good bye.

"Hmm." Ophidian hum.

He knew of Spike time given into his greed but is trying to control it. Maybe if he get Spike to release more of his greed, he could make Spike not only his host, but maybe another Entity of Avarice like himself. Of course it was risky as he and Spike will fight over things but once he can control him, then Spike will be his.

"This power is mine, this is my light, Be it in Bright of Day or Black of Night! I lay claim to all that falls within my sight, To take what is MINE, that is my right!"

Author's Note

That is Ophidian the Entity of Avarice. I actually had this with six visits, one for each entity, but I felt like it was too long and shorten it to just two visits. Okay six entities down and one more to go and that is Butcher. Like with Predator, Butcher will not met any of the mane six. Instead he's going to met an old friend of Rainbow Dash. After Butcher is done, I will go back to Predator for a bit, before working on Parallax getting his host. Please review, I like to hear your thoughts and ideas.
