A Smoldering Start, Endless Ember
When the ponies are away, the Dragons will play, or if the dragons find luck, they surely will fuck.
Part 1.

The one thing that Spike absolutely hated about Starlight, was the fact that her magic was so adapt and and so powerful, that she almost matched alicorn levels of magic. As if she was some sort of… added character given as much power as the protagonist so they had someone on their level, but only utilized when the plot demanded it from what he gathered from his comics. What was the old name called? …. Mary Sue? But all that didn’t matter. The increased size in overall was a great gift, but with that came all of the greed or rage that he jumped over to get to this stage.

Either way, as soon as he jumped at her, she teleported, though she left a suppressed giggle that almost echoed the hallways. Immediately, he tried to find her by inhaling her magic and locked on her trail. With his new prowess of speed, agility and endurance, he growled and jumped after her through the doors to find her.

“STARLIGHT!” He roared , taking off and disappearing in the hallways.

Meanwhile, two dragonesses and an alicorn were left in the kitchen, watching the action unfold. Well, rather hear it.

“Um… is that normal?” asked Twilight, somewhat dazed by her former, smaller brother’s now big changes, as he hunted her former student.

Ember shrugged and continued to bite into her omelet.

“The power that I gave him stimulated everything, it might take awhile for him to get rid of all the excess greed and hormones that had been overpassed when he grew.”
There was a large shake of the castle, followed by the destruction of doors. “Got you!” he roared from somewhere in the castle.
“And… how long will that last?” asked hesitantly the purple alicorn.

Ember waved her off, enjoying the last bits of her meal. “Ehh, a few hours, or if he didn’t fully adjust, a day or two.”

Twilight’s right eye twitched and a vein threatened to form on her forehead. A small cry of laughter and maybe a hint of fear filled the hallway. “I was kidding!” yelled Starlight, as she ran from the raging dragon. “I just wanted to make sure no ‘little’ part of you stayed that way!” Another roar, along with the sound of a powerful fire left Spike.
“At this rate, he will burn through it quickly,” finished Ember, finishing the last bit of omelettes. Another rumble of the castle, followed by the sound of castle walls breaking through.

“I will show you little!” one more the roar echoed. At this point, a strand of mane slipped out of place before Twilight decided to let it go. She inhaled, then exhaled, doing it over and over again until the destruction and chaos that would make Discord weep in joy was just background noise.

“So… now that Spike is… bigger and you want to mate with him, what how does it work between dragons?” She instantly teleported her notebook and quill, ready to take down notes.
Ember noticed this, but disregarded her, mumbling lightly on ‘weird pony.’ She cleared her throat, just as another roar tore through the walls nearby. “Well, when it comes down to dragons, you got males and females. Hopefully you know the difference on that, right? I don’t have to explain the difference between a dragon and dragoness, or in this case, a dick and a vag, right?”

Twilight’s eye twitched again, but she inhaled and exhaled once more, shaking her head. “No Princ… I mean, Dragon Lord Ember, I know that anatomy between males and females. That is universally with any sentient or non-sentient species that produces spawn, outside of species that can produce spawn A-sexually without a partner.”

Ember looked confused, but she shook her head in anger at her large words. “Anyways, so when it comes down to it, the dragon mating season is at the beginning of every summer, on the hottest days. For one week, dragons and dragonesses go into heat. Now, whether you are at the dragon lands or not, you will go into heat. But it's better for dragons to be there, so you can get fucked and be fucked for a while week.” She notice that Twilight was somewhat irritated, thought if it were her language or the fact that another wall was destroyed, followed by now screaming instead of laughing, she did not know… or care.

“So for a whole week, dragons enter orgies or go off just with two, and mate.”

“And do the chances of females going into estrus, have a chance at being fertilized with the male or males they have coitus with instantly, or is it based at its peak of the season where the fertility of the seed is high, will it be able to impregnate the cells inside the womb?”

Now it was Ember’s eye that twitches. Again, she hated big words and that fact that only a third of that made it to her brain pissed her off so, that she turned to Smolder, whom was half listening, now eating her meal at a snail’s pace. The young dragoness, whom was off daydreaming, felt the focus of her dragon lord and realized she need clarity. She gave a sigh. “Do we get egg-heavy on the first try we fu-” she stopped herself as Twilight gave her an warning eye glance. “-we screw around, or do we have to wait until the the middle of the weak when the males get…wild that their spunk is better at filling us?” It was crudly said, at least to Twilight but Ember heard it as perfectly clear as possible.

“Oh… why didn’t you just say that?” Twilight made a frowny face, with the notes nearly dropping from her magic.

“I did,” she half mumbled. Then a burst of magic filled the room and Starlight landed next to them, panting heavily and with slight scorch marks over her body.

“Okay… Okay,” she panted. “No more ‘size’ jokes on a dragon who is bigger, faster, stronger… and has a firebreath strong enough to burn through shields.” She slumped and sighed. “I give up.”

“I wouldn’t if I were you.” Warned Ember, arms crossed. A small smirk adorned her muzzle. “He won’t give up, even if you apologized. He’s got a lot of energy in him and needs to burn it off rapidly. So, even if you do say something, it might not work on him.” She then reached and patted her on her shoulder. “If you can burn off his energy quickly by having him chase you, he will wear down faster and leave you be so…”

The kitchen door exploded, with the large form of Spike flying right through. “Starlight!” The purple and green dragon roared and took a flying leap at her. Whimpering, she teleported and Spike instantly jumped through the castle walls with ease. He caught her scent which lead outside. He disappeared in a roar of fire.
Twilight sighed, trying to calm herself before a migraine hit. “Well, it's a magic castle, so self healing should start soon.”

“Wait, if the castle heals when its damaged, why don’t we eat it and let it heal itself!?” Ember asked with glee and some frustration. “You dissed me for taking bites off of it the last time I was here!”

“I didn’t know it self healed until after you had damaged it!” yelled back Twilight. “Besides, eating other pony’s property is rude and evil!”
“Can we just get back to talking about dragons screwing each other? If not, I’m going to go and follow Spike,” half mumbled Smolder.
The two heated females snorted before calming down and Ember continuing on. “Anyways, so about getting fucked and egg-heavy,” she began, earning a disapproving glare from Twilight but the mare gave up, readying her notes. “We do in fact get egg-heavy during the peak of the season. Its when we are guaranteed more eggs in eight to ten months.”

“Wow, your species are way of normal reptilian or scaled species with their eggs. Some lay within eight to ten weeks.”

Ember snorted. “We are not lizards, we don’t do that tongue thing!” She stuck her tongue, mocking the little wiggle that most reptiles do. “Also, we are warm blooded. Literally… our blood is boiling hot. You ever see what happens when Spike’s breaks open his scales?”
Twilight shook her head. “In truth, I have never seen Spike bleed. His scales have been impervious to a lot of damage to his youth.” She paused. “Is it red?”

“Redish orange,” spoke out Smolder. She finished up the last of her meal. “Almost like ponies, but its orange at the edge. Also, if we do bleed, that thing will act like lava on a bunch of things.” She then laughed. “Well except it doesn’t burn through everything, just on skin, fur and other living things. High heated blood.”

Twilight blanched at that. ‘Note to self, magically shield sharp items and around items with high temperature proof spells.’ She shook her head focused back on Ember. “Moving on, so can you choose your mates or is it just all… willy nilly?”
“Females can choose who they want to be with. However, it is up to the males to show off feats of strength, power, and dominance to be worthy of any female. Most do it through acts of battle, who has the biggest hoard, if the can go on long periods of time with stamina and so on.”

“And when has Spike showed any of that to you, in order for him to be your mate?” asked Twilight, her notes writing on.

Ember somewhat wilted and her face showed with redness and even a bit of warmth. “He didn’t have too.” She said softly. “He showed me that he didn’t need all that to be a good mate.” She moved away and moved towards the window of the kitchen, where outside she saw him, her dream dragon, flying around, angrily chasing and firing at a floating unicorn. Her screams of plea could be vaguely heard. She watched almost dreamily as a few ponies did run in terror at being at the crossfire. “He told me I was beautiful, that I was strong and that I was the one whom was meant to rule the Dragon Lands.” Her muzzle turned into a warm smile. “We have been sending letters to each other for months now. Each one different than the last. It took me awhile to understand the big words he used, teaching me here and there, but he never made me feel like I’m just another dragon. He made me feel like I more important than others, that without me, dragons would never have known the concept of friendship.

“So that is how you got to know if he was truthful.” Spoke Twilight, approaching the Dragon Lord. “You two have been sending letters…” her eyes went wide and a grin formed. “Love letters!” She almost squealed in joy, jumping on her hooves and moving towards Ember. “Love letters to each other for months! Oh Cadence would be thrilled to hear of this!

Ember wanted to growl at her and deny they were anything about love, but… it would be to deny a part of her heart. One that he showed more of with each time they would send a letter. Nodding, she simply said, “Yeah.” From the window, Twilight and Ember watched as Spike set a building on fire, trying to isolate the unicorn mare, drawing her out and leaving in a burst of magic.

Smolder had wilted and slumped lightly over the table, with her head on the table and her arms hanging below. She had been hearing Ember speak and ignored most of it, but when she got to Spike, she realized that despite Spike interest with Smolder, it was nothing compared to what he and Ember shared. It’s probably why he asked her about Dragon Stuff. Instead of asking Ember about it, he was just speaking to her in a ‘long distance’ relationship. They were- have been writing letters to them for Draco knows how long. Ember had been getting letters from him, telling her she was beautiful and other sappy stuff with it.
Stuff she wished she could have gotten, or even asked to be called. Seeing that she was no longer part of the conversation between Twilight and Ember, she silently made her way out of the kitchen.

Once more, she was left with nothing to do. Going back to her room was a waste of time. Where should she go? Her friends are not back yet and she was bored out of her mind. Instead of killing time doing nothing, maybe she could learn about… romance. Maybe if she could learn a little bit more about it, she could still woe Spike before he made his decision to leave with Ember. She left the kitchen determined and headed straight to the schools library.

She flew her way to the school library, barely registering the massive dragon that was Spike flying through the air, sniffing it and trying to find Starlight’s trail. Instantly, he flew towards the Everfree forest, hunting down his pray. If she needed to have even a remote chance, something outside of flashing her vag and getting laid to get him to notice her, she would have to find words. Lots and lots of words to get around and find a way to please that drake!

Luckily, the library was almost empty, with only a few ponies and creatures trying to catch up on studying. She shyly but catiously made her way to the romance section in the back, avoiding the eyes of anycreature to not catching her heading there.

Finding it, she sighed and looked at the aisles books, purged onto shelves, containing vast amounts of information to help aid her. The young dragoness reached for one of the more easy reading ones and began.

Morning turned to midday and midday turned to evening. Smolder had been inside all day and in truth, she was more angry than ever. Growling lightly to herself, as she nearly threw the same book she had been on since that morning.
“Ugh! None of this makes sense!” Some creature cleared their throat and she saw the librarian. “Sorry!” She flinched lightly. “Didn’t know that I was loud!”

The librarian nodded. “That and we are closed now.” Smolder blinked. Closed? As in, she had been in here all day, on a single book, trying to learn about romance and love? How the fuck that happen? Not allowing the librarian to see her emotions, she nodded and quickly left the library.

She made her way back to the castle, where she encountered ashen and slightly chard, Starlight. A small trail of smoke was still lingering on her mane.
“So… you learned your lesson yet?” she asked the mare, passing her by. Starlight nodded lightly.

“Yeah.” she heavily sighed. “Not to mess with a growing dragon. You guys don’t mess around when angry or in greed.”

“Well duh!” She then flinched as she said that to her counselor. However, Starlight paid it no mind, as she was still achingly trying to make her way back inside the castle. “Messing with a teenage dragon, especially with a growth spurt like that is not wise.”
Starlight nodded. Making her way up the stairs, the two pushed their way in and immediately saw Ember with Twilight and Spike chatting.

Starlight gave a weary look at Spike, whom gave a quick flash of his teeth, before raising his claws in peace. “I’m done chasing you, don’t worry. I’ve burned most of my energy already.”

She gave a pained smile. “Good, I would HATE… to deal with anything else later, though I’m just upset it took you all day to get rid of it.”

Spike gave a grin. “Burned off my energy in about… mmm four hours.” He snorted, allowing some smoke to leave his nostrils. “The rest of the time was just me testing out my agility, speed, stamina and so on… so thanks!”
Any other time, Starlight would have been angry, lost her mind or even find or plan some sort of revenge scheme against any whom have tried to wrong her like that. But unfortunately…. Friendship and the magic it has on ponies, prevented her from becoming evil… even if temporarily. Fuck you, Friendship… sometimes...

Also, she was too tired and drained to care. She just gave a weak smile and dropped it, before moving past them all, somewhat limping her way to her bedroom. Silence followed then, the gentle lock of a closing door echoed the hallway.
Ember gave a grin, placing her claws on her hips. “I’d like to think that she could hang with dragons and give a lot of them a challenge.”

Spike gave a nod. “No doubt, though she might actually impress a few dragons with her prowess.” He sighed. “I gotta admit, it was a good work out.” He stretched his wings, arms and leg, a few bones cracking. The trio of females watched his muscles flex, his body shifting in mass and even giving a small growl, making them flush.

He noticed this, especially Twilight. “See something you like, Twilight?”

Twilight had been looking but his words snapped her out of her gaze and she looked at him in shock. “Eww! Spike!”

He gave a shrug. “You gotta admit. You like this version of me. I like this version of me!” He then inwardly growled deeply, causing a ripples in the air and sending shivers down their spines.

“As do I,” purred Ember. She pulled in on him, pushing her body next to his. “I knew giving him just a bit of energy from the Bloodstone Scepter would give him a boost that he needed.”

‘And a plot needed,’ thought Twilight, as she looked at Spike’s lower back. Twilight then brought up a thought. “Is it permanent? Will he regress back to his smaller form after the mating season is complete?”

Ember shook her head. “As far as I can tell and witnessed, its until he starts growing naturally again in a few decades or so. Most dragons wouldn’t reach this height till then.” She then wrapped her claws with his. “Though by that time, I think that we would have long grown accustomed to it all.”

“Speaking of all, I’m so glad you managed to tell me everything I need to know about dragons!” Squealed Twilight, jumping on hooves with a floating stack of papers in magic. “I could write the first book about dragons and get them published! Ohh! Mom is gonna be so jealous!” Twilight rambled on and on about it, her words going into large more complex verses and punctuations that once more flew over Ember’s head. As she rambled on, Ember saw that Smolder has been staring off into space, a peculiar look of disturbed and traces of anger were seen across her features. Breaking away from Spike, the Dragon Lord moved towards the younger dragoness. Smolder broke from her gaze and saw her approaching Dragon Lord.
“What is with the look?”

Smolder rubbed her arm and looked away. “Just… got a lot on my mind right now.”

Ember saw there was more to it than that. “Anything that is troubling you?”

‘Yeah, you and Spike,’ “No, just school stuff.” A quick glance towards Spike and back at her, settling back on the floor. Ember caught it. She might not be great or as sensitive with emotions as ponies were, but she did have female intuition, and that was something that expanded the universe. She turned to Spike, making eye contact, he caught from his own, still allowing Twilight to ramble on, since she was talking a pace no one but him could understand. She moved her eyes quickly to corner, towards Smolder on her side and then back on him. He seemed to get it. He nodded and moved towards his sister.

“Great Twilight! It’s all good. Why don’t you and I star working on a… binder and see if we can work some cover art…” He pulled his sister on.

“Oh, right! And we have to find a publisher! And get copies created and…” She rambled on, up the stairs and through the hallways, Spike waved over his shoulder, though judging by his face, he looked at her begging to hurry.

She gave a smile, waved and then refocused back on Smolder. The young dragoness looked up confusingly at her. “Uh… what is going on?”

Ember motioned for her to back outside. “Come on, we need some fresh air.”

“Uh… I just got back in, like a minute ago,” retorted Smolder.

Ember waved it off. “I need air. Been stuck with that damn mare since I got here today. Need to stretch out my wings and tail.” Not arguing, the two female dragonesses made their ways outside. Smolder was a bit let off by her Dragon Lord’s reason but let herself be lead outside.

The two were graced by the moon’s light and Smolder actually felt somewhat more at peace now. At the library, it only pissed her off to even if was meant trying to be for a benefit. How she lost that time on a single book of romance was not worth trying to remember.

Ember didn’t want to rest, so they took up walking. “So, what’s on your mind,” Smolder was about to deny anything but Ember quickly cut her off. “Hey, I may not be good with this mushy feeling stuff, but as your Dragon Lord, I will make you open whether you want to or not, so spill.” There was some teasing in her tone, something that Smolder liked about Ember.

Out of all the dragons in the world, she respected Ember and Spike. Outside of obvious reasons with Spike, Ember promoted strength and power in females, not seen since the first female Dragon Lord, Scales was in charge in the time before Torch’s rule. Ember didn’t just rule like a normal Dragon Lord. Since her encounter with Spike, she has promoted that females start proving their worth's just as much as males. Competitions and games featured more females to take on challenges that matched the males. Along with the equalization of females, there was also the encouragement of more peer bonding and gentler events.

It was a very slow start with the tamer stuff, but dragons did start coming around and few resented them. Mainly her idiot older brother, which is funny enough the reason Ember started doing this. His idiocy and greedy nature, nearly killing Ember and Spike, had Ember create this new era with dragons. All of this was before her introduction… and forcibly made attendance to Twilight’s school.

Smolder didn’t like it at first, but without Ember’s interference with her life, she wouldn’t have made such wonderful friends… or meet the kindness dragon in the world.

“I was just wondering… why Spike hadn’t to anydragon… anycreature why he was talking with you for months?” It wasn’t the exact answer she wanted to give, but it was a filler to help her get the wheels turning, so to speak.

“Why would it matter to you or anycreature on what he and I do?” stated Ember, a bit huffly. “We were talking because we only knew of each other and the comfort we brought to one another.” She sighed. “I have enjoyed the time we have talked, though the mating season is the first time we would be able to see each other.”

Smolder inwardly cringed at that. “Ugh… this is why I’m here. I wanted to avoid all of that.” She then rubbed her arms. “Didn’t want to deal with my first time surrounded by horny dragons.”

Ember normally would find this shocking or even odd, but seeing as Smolder had been living with ponies these few seasons, it would make sense that she would adjust to the lifestyle here. Nodding, she spoke on. “Living here has changed you for the better, though I would ask if you found some small way of keeping yourself busy when your in heat.”

Smolder didn’t shy away with any personal stuff, especially since dragons normally opened up on mating or sex in general. “Turns out, the walls made of crystal are good for drowning down the sound when rubbing myself off.” She then gave Ember a small grin. “But it’s better in the showers though. You can rub off, scream and then not worry about any messes or smells since it goes down the drain.”

Ember had the face like she had just discovered the biggest hoard in the history of dragons or that dusted gems goes great with meat.”It’s that private… and closed off… and clean?”

Smolder nodded. “Yep, though you still have to be careful that when you scream, you don’t set anything on fire.” Ember nodded at that, a bit impressed.

“Wow, so hanging in there might be worth it during mating season.” She looked at the castle behind them. “I wonder if Spike’s area would be good for just staying in there until it was over.”

Smolder’s smile dropped. “Sure… yeah, it would be.” She stayed quiet. Ember noticed the drop in tone.

“Alright, enough of this!” Ember grabbed Smolder by the shoulders and faced her towards her with a crossed look. “Ever since I got here, you have been giving me fang and usually I only get that from some idiot dragon who thinks they can though me out, my own father… or your dunce of a brother too! So, out with it, you’re a hatchling no more!”

Smolder knew she had no guts to really sass or talk smack to Ember. Not because she was just the Dragon Lord, but her respect for her outweighed her dislike for Ember’s relationship with Spike.

She sighed, which almost came out as a growl before focusing on Ember’s feet. “I...I just didn’t like the idea of you and Spike together. I thought that maybe… he and I would get together.” She then slumbed a bit more. “Hopefully before he had a chance to go after another dragon or creature.”

Ember cocked in eyebrow at her younger friend. “And… why is it that now, all of a sudden you want him now? Because of the mating season? You wanted him so he could stuff your hole and be done with it, or was it something more?” Ember crossed her arms and slightly glared down at the younger dragoness. “Me and Spike have been sending letters since before Twilight’s school even came up. So, it can’t be that you have been wanting him on same level as us.” Ember suddenly realized that with everything Smolder has been demonstrating, there was definitely more to it then that. Not to mention, she hasn’t been as antsy about mating season as Ember was.

Unless she was recently satisfied in some way. “You already mated with him, haven’t you?” Smolder found herself closing her eyes tightly, expecting Ember to do something to her and bracing herself.

Again, normally Ember would be crossed with any dragon who dared take her mate from her. She wouldn’t need to use the Scepter to deal with the dragon in anyway and could think of hundreds of ideas on how to torture them.

Yet, she also couldn’t blame Smolder for using Spike. It was Smolder’s first heat and she needed quick relief and wasn’t aware of the consequences. Spike probably caught her at the wrong time, which begged the question…

“Was he good to you?” She asked, gently placing her claw on Smolder’s shoulder. The young dragoness flinched at contact, but upon hearing Ember’s words, she cautiously opened her eyes to see a stoic look on Ember. She looked much like her father in that regard, albeit that he always looked angry, Ember just seemed steady, with some of her father’s downward cheek muscles.

“I...I just want someone to be with.” She responded, not really answering Ember’s question. “He didn’t even know what was happening until I… started it.”

Ember held any resentment towards her. “That didn’t answer my question.” Her face stayed stoic.

Smolder hesitated. “F-For a beginner… yeah.” She paused. “He actually ate me out.”

Now there was a thought… and an interesting bit of information. Ember actually had to process that. Normally males were so prude, so selfish, that eating out a female was almost like a choir that none of them wanted. Most actually found it difficult or too above them to touch a female like that. The only time a female ever found their vag taking on by tongue was another female, or that rare male that actually enjoys it for a taste or so, but never to fully finish. So… the sheer fact that Spike enjoyed and finished… “Wait, did you finish?” Smolder nodded. Truely, Spike was a good drake.

But now came the ultimate question of what to do with Smolder. Clearly she also had a fling with him, before being physical, but now it was developing emotional. Her tail flicked in agitation and she actually moved away from Smolder in order to think without giving up to much emotion towards her. She slowly paced around the area.

Smolder was too young to bare a clutch, let alone relationship with a dragon almost her same age, but in tune that she needed relieve, that dragoness was okay for that. Not to mention that she gave Spike some experience and some work.

A ‘hoard’ was definitely out of the question… maybe…

Some do build after the mating season, but fewer than those actually last a season or two. The largest of them were four per hoard and that didn’t include the hatchlings born from the females. No, no, no… she was overthinking this. Smolder didn’t belong nor need to be with a male. She needed to keep with her studies, to understand how friendship works! She needed to be able to bring this all back to the dragons, so they could learn to be better, civilized creatures.

But who was she to deny the natural order and make it so Smolder had no real way of dealing with her heat. How the hell did these stupid ponies do it anyway?

“Ember?” The somewhat soft and scarred tone of Smolder disturbed her flowing mind. She saw that she was still intimidated by her, wondering if she was about to be told to stay away or… to walk away. Ember, despite the way she grew up, could never hurt those younger than her. Even if they did ill, she would never forgive herself, nor would Spike.

The sapphire scaled dragoness sighed. “I can’t say that it doesn't upset me that you took advantage of him with your heat, however I am also aware that you doing this before your peak heat was a better outcome. My true anger is that you took something from me before I was able to claim it.” A small snarl left her and she leaned over the smaller dragoness. “So… I will say it once, Spike is mine. I plan to make him mine… forever. I want to bare his clutch and if I so choose, he is not to be near another female dragon again.” Smolder shrunk at Ember’s words. Ember then added. “But… I know that with some time, maybe… he would need another body to satisfy his needs when I am egg-heavy.”

Smolder’s eyes went wide. Ember leaned back out, crossing her arms and gave a small smirk. “Spike’s gonna need some sort rebound when I’m stuck on my side and can’t do much but lay there.”

“D-Does that mean…”

“Later on!” She growled lightly, but kept the smirk. “Right now, your heats kicking your tail upside, so don’t be thinking ‘hoard’ or anything right now. Your tail needs to focus on school before you can have your hole stuffed… again.” Ember pointed at the castle. “Now, right now, you are going to go to your room and staying there until I deem fit… because I’m punishing you for taking my future’s mate first fuck.”

Smolder slightly cocked her head. “Are you… grounding me?”

“Why would I ground you? I’m just sending you into your room as punishment. Not taking away your wings.”

“No...That’s what ponies do to their foals when they get in trouble. Ground them.”

Ember paused at that and nodded, accepting the new term. “Fine then, I am grounding you.”

Smolder gave a small glare. “You’re not my mom! Or Princess Twilight!”

Ember matched her glare, but turned her smirk into a smug look. “No, I’m your Dragon Lord. Besides if I were you mom, I would have set you up for ‘adap-tation’ in a pony home.”

“You… mean adoption?”

Ember waved her off. “Whatever, now! Get your tail into your room! Now! Before I decide to not allow Spike touch you for a decade!”

Smolder actually feared that aspect and began walking, though she waited until Ember began to walk alongside her.

As they made their way back to the castle, Smolder stopped at the door. “Ember?”

“What?” she stopped too. Smolder twiddled with her claws.

“Is it going to be weird, later on, that if Spike has us both or wants us both, that we would be together as well?”

Ember thought on that. In truth, same sex couples existed. Nothing was ever wrong with that, especially in hoards. The problem that came with hoards is that all the hoard members must be willing and equally sharing each other amongst the others. They had to be comfortable with each other, be it males with males or females and females. That is why the few that get formed don’t last more than two seasons. Eventually one wants more than the others or they do not like the others in the same hoard. As is, half a hundred hoards that were still active today, have strong and cared for dragons within. To satisfy one another is good but to do so with others was a difficult task. Each dragon was their own and even if an elected alpha of the hoard managed to keep everything in check, it would still lead to conflict on whom was pleased first.
The hatchlings and young drakes were their own set of problems as well. If and when to let them go, as well as interact properly with other hatchlings. Ember’s hope for her young was to be like Spike. Intelligent, gentle, kind and caring. But she also wanted them to be fierce, strong, powerful and loud… to an extant.
Truthfully Ember didn’t want Spike’s eggs yet. This mating season was just to help ease the tension that would develop in her loins as well as release some pent up aches that have been building up. The chances of her getting egg-heavy were low since she was still young herself, but there were some ways of protecting herself.
But as for Smolder, well she was just going to find some way to deal with. “When the time comes and something does happen between us, we will figure it out. Now, get that tail in your room!”

Smolder didn’t fight it, but she also wanted to know what Ember’s plans for Spike were. She felt a bit happy knowing that Ember had no real anger towards her but she also wanted to know if Ember wanted to keep her with Spike for her sake or for some other reason.

Making her way back to her room, she heard Spike leaving Twilight’s room. She quietly stayed in her room, but peeked outside, looking at the hallways. All was quiet and judging by the fading footsteps of Spike, he was making his way towards Ember.

Spike met Ember back in the Castle entrance, seeing a somewhat lusty and pleased look with herself.

“Something up?” he asked, approaching her, wrapping his arms around her.

“Smolder told me something interesting between the two of you,” Spike’s face went still, small fear running up his eyes, but Ember kept her look. “I’m a bit disappointed that she took your first fuck away from me, but… I think that was on her more than you.”
Spike didn’t like to throw anyone under the carriage, so he held his own. “I didn’t want to force anything but… I didn’t exactly stop, so it’s on me too.”

Ember reached for his face, causing him to flinch but felt that she ran her claws gently over his new longer snout. “Selfless till the end. That is why I chose you, Spike. Your heart is big, but it’s bigger than most creatures I’ve known. Hasn’t there ever been a day where you just… take what you want and be happy?”

“...Not if it meant I would lose friends and family along the way.” He answered unsteadily, reminiscing on his greed growth.

“But what if it was given willing?” She then brushed her snout under his. “Like me…” She growled in throat, sending vibrations to his snout and shivers down his spines. She triggered something, something primal and despite given permission, he shook his head.

“I would still ask, still do it slowly… still say that we wait until we are outside the castle before we try anything. I’d rather not make noise.”

“Smolder said these castle walls hold all the noise in.”

Spike snorted. “Some. There are times when it’s inconveniently allowed noise to seep through here and there. You could hear Starlight’s snore every now and then. Other times, the sound of somepony… someone using the restroom has been heard.” He shook his head. “Point is… I don’t want to do anything here… unless we shower… but we can save that before we go to sleep.” He flashed her a grin.

“Fine, we can go outside, though in truth, I want to do it far away enough.” A small blush formed on her cheeks. “I… tend to be loud… and burn stuff.”

“...” He found himself speechless. Not because she admitted that she was loud or set things on fire, but because she had just openly admitted that she knew what kind of dragon she was when she rubs one out. Their letters never got to personal, but implications were sent here and there. Not to mention that Spike was still trying to figure out how to please others, still being a single drake and all. With the recent mating with Smolder, he still didn’t understand much about his own sexual prowess or what he was capable of. Instead of saying anything about it, he voted to lead away. “So… find an area open and vast enough, just so we,” he said we because even he wasn’t sure what he was capable of, especially with his new growth, “can safely scream and let loose without the fear of burning stuff down.” He nodded and immediately thought an area. “I got just the place.”

Ember and Spike made their way outside the castle, all this being seen from upstairs by a peeping Smolder. She cautiously made her way down the stairs and made it to the door. She could hear their voice outside before the sound of flapping was heard. She continued to hear it before it slowly begin to recede as they began to fly away.

Smolder opened the door and knew that they were going to go out and mate. She was satisfied with Spike, but she was curious on Ember and how she would top her act. She saw their shadows in the moonlight, dragons have great night vision, and waited until they were a good distance away before she quickly took up after them.

More than ever, she wanted to see how Spike would be in this new form and how maybe in the future, she and Ember could enjoy him better.
