inside the dream realm

Spike was floating inside an area of black space, there was no gravity, or any person other than himself around. It was cool and he was confused about where he was. He looked around as he tried to determine where he was.

"What? Where am I, why am I?" - Spike started to freak out. - "Oh my god am I dead? If I am, how did I die?"

As Spike was getting nervous about why he was here a figure started to appear. The figure looked slim, its hips swaying a little side to side. As it got closer it seemed more feminine, Spike then determined that this person is female. The female got close enough in the dark realm, that her face was able to be seen. She had a tone to her skin that made her look pearl white, while her eyes were a shade of pink. Her hair was seemingly flowing, even in the place they were at the moment had no wind. The smile on her face was soothing, acting mother-like. When Spike saw this, he couldn't help himself from walking towards her without any hesitation. While getting closer, he could tell that her hair had multiple colors embued into the silk-like strands of hair. After a minute or so of walking the two persons were close enough that they could stretch their arms out and touch each other. When he got a good look at her face he blinked shortly and opened his mouth,

"Mom?" Spike asked as he stepped back a bit and realized that it was the female who raised him since he was adopted.

The female nodded and smiled warmly- "Yes Spike it is me, and you must be wondering why I am here in your dreams."- The mother of Spike twirled her wrist around a chair appearing in the dark space, with a lamp that was illuminating without electricity.

"Please sit, it might take a bit to explain to you who I am."-The female motioned to the chair as she herself sat on a chair that appeared right under her. Spike himself sat on the comforter that was there waiting for him, he looked at her and waited for her to speak.

"Well firstly, My name is Celestia, and I am the leader alongside my sister, your aunt Luna. We decided to adopt you because, well the story that the orphanage told you, was false. Your parents did not die because of an accident, some people from my realm went out and sought to find your father because he bore the child of a princess and a dragon. Which is why you are a knight, You have the connection to a magical force called the summoning grid, it is what knights use to summon their weapons at will, or how they are able to use magical abilities without using a spellbook or incantations. Your father was a royal knight to my army before he moved back to the Badlands because of being summoned for army training there due to the treaty between our nations. The Leader part? well, how can I explain this? I am your birth mother, I was the princess that your father, his name was Bahumat, the leader of dragons that bore the child, which is you. The reason the story of your birth parents being magicians was made was that after I had conceived you, I had you put in a home with my greatest warlocks to protect you because my city would want my empire taken down because of a princess having a relationship with a dragon. Those people that attacked my warlocks because they found out about your whereabouts through a spy inside of my staff that was taken care of."

Spike's breath was getting a little shakey, all of his life he believed that all of this time his birth parents were just some random magic users that worked for Celestia, not actually a princess and a dragon knight. He still had so many more questions for his birth mother.

"But mom, why would you come back for me after I was put up for adoption, didn't you think that was a risky move on your part?"

The female nodded and smiled at her own son,

"Yes I did realize that but after telling your aunt Luna about my idea of taking a leave of my duties to help raise my son after the mistake I made of leaving you with some strangers. So I contacted Bahmaut and told him that I and he were going to take you back, and thought of the realm you are in today, the human realm. So we got you and brought you here to raise you like the parents we should have, and after you moved out, we went back to my realm and became the ruler I once was to my people."

The ground inside the dream realm was starting to shake. Celestia and Spike looked around when she began to spoke.

"It looks like you are starting to wake up my son, do not fret this is not the last time we will be meeting, I have set up a surprise for you in the coming weeks. I hope you are prepared for what is to come."

After those words were spoken, the area flashed white, with Nurse Redheart tapping on Spike's cheek loudly saying his name.-"Spike, SPIKE!! Are you awake?"- After he blinked a few times and his eyes re-adjusting to the bright white lights that were surrounding the room he opened widely and he shot up sitting straight up panting a bit.

"Miss Redheart what happened? Why did I pass out?"

Spike asked his legs shaking a bit after not being in use for sometime.-"Well Spike, after I told you the results of your exam you passed out. No worries though, you were only passed out for a few minutes, ten tops."- The female in front of him smiled warmly at him and had a paper in her hands grasp. She extended her arm handing the paper to him, "well these are the results, all you have to do is drop this off to the principal's secretary and head off to your first class, your first class is starting up in fifteen minutes, so I suggest you hurry."

Spike nodded and got up grabbing the paper from the nurse's hand and rushed down towards the Principal's office. After a few minutes of running through the halls, he reached the door to the lobby of the office. He slowly opened the door and approached the assistant. Spike looked at her and spoke,-"Here you go this is for the principal, they are the results from my placement tests."- The assistant nodded said thank you. After this, Spike exited the office and ran down to the room that his Schedule stated was his first class. When he entered the room the bell rang, signaling that all students have to reach their classes at the moment or be entered as tardy. The teacher was wearing a plaid turtle neck sweater with a yellow shirt underneath, brown pants, and black dress shoes. His skin was a fair grey with a brown hair spiked around being quite random. The teacher looked at Spike with a faint smile,-"Welcome to Math 1, my name is Discord quust, but you can just call me Mr.Discord"-Spike nodded and replied,-"Hello there Mr.Discord, my name is Spike"-After introductions were done, Spike found an empty seat and sat down, officially starting the first day of his new life.
