Royal Problem

Castle Friendship

Two hours. Two long hours and Spike was still sleeping. His heat had gone down to normal levels, and his scales have returned to their original color. Celestia was sitting near him, not once leaving his side. The rest of the girls were at the map room talking about what happened inside Spike's mind.

"And that's pretty much it. I don't know what power Spike used, but he pretty much mopped the floor with it." Twilight told her friends.

All of them were speechless, they knew now that Spike had access to magic now, but the level of magic Twilight described was insane. Also, the way she told Spike had dispatched this Shadow-Spike Showing no remorse worried them a little.

"That's all good and well, but why hasn't Spike-Wikey woken up yet if he dealt with this Shadow-Spike?" Rarity asked.

"As we told before Generosity, Divine Dragons access to their magic when they are old enough and are near their kind's magic. Their body adjusts to this new power pretty fast because there isn't much magic power in their young bodies. But Spike is an adult who had a massive amount of magic energy within him. I believe his body is just working on adjusting itself to this new power. As we said before, this has happened only a couple of times as far as we know, and they weren't documented in any way. This means we don't have any info to compare Spike's condition with. His body heat and breathing returning to normal are positive signs. All we can do now is wait and be there for him once he wakes up." Luna explained.

"And Celestia also told Spike will be okay. If someone knows how Spike will heal, it's her. She's the one who raised him, after all. And like Luna said, all we can do right now is wait." Twilight added.

"I know darling. I just feel awful not being able to help our Spike."

"I know the feeling Rarity, but all we can do now is wait. Besides. Spike's too stubborn to give up. You should know all about that." Applejack replied with a smirk to Rarity.

Rarity was having a small blush on her cheeks "if only they knew" she thought.
"Well I suppose your right Applejack." Rarity answered trying her best to hide the blush.

"Should we go and see if Spike is still sleeping" Fluttershy asked with a low and shy voice.

Luna let out a long sigh before answering.
"As much as I would love to go and see my nephew, I think it is a bad idea right now. The way Celestia told stories to me about Spike's childhood after my return."
Luna sighs with a warm smile remembering all the lovely stories Celestia had told her about Spike's childhood after her return.

"Spike is special to my sister. There is always special happiness in her when we talk about anything related to Spike. A warm and loving smile that I have rarely seen on her after our childhood. I to have grown very fond of him during these years. My sister needs some alone time with her son. They will come out of there when the time is right." Luna finished.

Back at Spike's room, Celestia was sitting beside her son's bed with a photo album in her hands. The album held hundreds of photos of her and Spike's time together when he was just a little hatchling. One of the photos brought back warm memories. Spike was dressed as a knight and Celestia was playing the part of the helpless princess, and blocks of cardboard boxes played the part of evil monsters.

Celestia took the picture out and showed it to Spike"Remember this? You were the dashing knight come to rescue your princess and future wife. We had so much fun that day." Celestia told.

After a moment of silence, with a sigh, Celestia spoke again. "I haven't told anyone yet, but if this potion helps us with our condition I want to find someone who loves me for who I am and not just for the title I possess. I haven't told anyone not even Luna knows about this but the only one I see as that somepony special is you." Celestia confessed to sleeping, Spike.

A blush started to form around Celestia's cheeks and she continued. "I also have had some inappropriate dreams about you and the way you have grown hasn't helped at that part at all." Celestia noticed a blush on Spike's cheeks too and her eyes widened.

"You little trickster!" Celestia yelled with a mix of anger and relief in her voice and picked up the pillow and smacked Spike to the face with it.

"Ouch... That hurt mom. If this is how you treat your son then how do you treat your enemies?" Spike told to Celestia with a wide smile on his face.

"That was for making me worried." Celestia told. And kissed Spike to his cheek. "And that's for waking up."

"Wouldn't you want to give me a proper kiss for your future husband?" Spike asked with a sly grin.

Celestia just rolled her eyes and gave him a quick kiss on his lips "There Casanova happy now?" Celestia asked.

"Very much" Spike answered with a sly grin and then asked "But why are you here don't get me wrong it's nice to see you but..." Spike didn't get the chance to finish his sentence. Celestia interrupted him.

"You were always a bad liar Spike. You know why we were in your mind and what happened. So do you want to talk about it?" Celestia asked.

Spike looked away in shame "All those thinks noble's told about me is true I'm a monster aren't I?" Spike asked while tears started to form in his eyes.

Celestia placed her hand under Spike's chin and raised his head while cleaning his tears away. "Why would I ever think of you as a monster. Those noble's are just ignorant, stupid and some of them are just scared and follow the masses. What you did to your Shadow was unfortunate but it was the only way. He didn't want to listen to reason. You shouldn't be ashamed of yourself or the power you field. It's not the power, but how it's used. Look it this way if you didn't stop him me, Luna and Twilight would be dead" Celestia explained leaving out certain comments Shadow-Spike made about them.

"But I feel wrong. Like I did something really bad." Spike answered sniffing.

"That just means you have a good heart to feel sorrow when killing even if it's the last resort. Only when you start to enjoy killing will you transform into a monster like Sombra." Answered Celestia trying to cheer up her son.

"Thanks mom I needed to hear that from somepony. My Shadow talked something about my power do you know anything about that?" Spike asked.

Celestia let out a sigh "I will tell you the same I and Luna told to Twilight and your friends."
Celestia started her explanation. During her story, Celestia let out some tears at the part where she told the fate of Spike's kind. Spike cleaned his mother's tears and tried his best to comfort her. After a while, Celestia came to the end of her story.
"And that's pretty much it. We should have some books in the royal library or my personal collections about your kind if you want to learn more. Also, Fluttershy had some books too she found in her journey at Crystal Mountains with Eris." Celestia finished.

Spike was speechless. The main reason for this was him learning the fate of his kind and that he was possibly the last of his kind. Sure there were dragons but his type of dragons were all dead except for him.

"So am I the last of my kind?" Spike asked.

"As far as I know yes you are. I'm sorry it's my fault you didn't know your real parents." Celestia answered.

"Why? You got nothing to be sorry for. It wasn't your fault what happened to my kind and my birth parents." Spike said with a hint of sadness in his voice while trying to comfort Celestia.
"I don't and never will blame you for something you had no control over." Spike finished.

"You're a kind soul Spike. I really needed to hear that from you. Thank you." Celestia told.

"You know mom I have something to tell you I'm not sure just where to start." Spike started to blush hard his cheeks turning to a shade of deep red.

"This should be good." Celestia thought.
"What is it you know I'll always listen if you have some problems." Celestia told him.

"I haven't told anyone about this yet. Not even Twilight knows it. I have well relations with both Applejack and Rarity and they're both okay with it. But the problem is I have had these dreams now for about four months I think. They are related toward Twilight and others, you and aunt Luna are in them too."

Celestia started to blush herself too. She understood that these were probably some wet dreams.
"Are they of sexual nature? Some wet dreams maybe?" She asked with a little interest.

"Am I that easy to read? Yes, but they are more of nightmares to me. I'm cruel towards you and others. I use them like they are nothing but toys for me to play with. And the odd part is they seem to enjoy it. I don't like these dreams they are driving me nuts. Each time I'm near some of the mares in my dreams I get this odd feeling in me and sometimes I hear a faint voice in the back of my head commanding me to take what should be mine." Spike explained.

"Could it be that his draconic instincts are getting strong now that he is sexually active." Celestia thought to herself.
"Tell me Spike did you ask to get another mare involved in your bedroom activities from Rarity or was it her idea?" Celestia asked.

"How did you know I was dating Rarity first?" Spike gasped. Celestia just looked at him with a knowing look.
Spike rubbed her neck in embarrassment."Right. It's not like I made it a secret I was trying to court Rarity all the time. But to answer your question it was me after Applejack had show interest in me. Is there something wrong with me mom?"

"As I thought. It shouldn't be a problem yet he doesn't show any greed or lust growth yet. I can't tell him the truth yet." Celestia thought to herself.
"Truth be told I'm not entirely sure. Your the first dragon I raised so this could be normal growth-related things. But you have managed to keep yourself in check. But if there are any changes in these dreams contact me immediately. I'll ask Luna to look through your dreams just to be safe." Celestia half-lied to him.

Spike let out a sigh of relief. "That's good to hear and don't worry I'll contact you the second if anything odd happens." Spike reassured.

"That's good to hear I have two questions for you. First, you heard me talking to you while I thought you were still out cold so what do you think about me as a woman?" Celestia felt a warm blush returning to her cheeks.

Spike cheeks also started to heat up. "Well I... I would be lying if I told you aren't beautiful and sexy. I've seen you and aunt Luna doing your yoga practices those pants show the best curves out of you both. Your also a kind and caring person and that's what I really like about you." Spike answered trying not to sound too perverted. He might have been a gentle drake but every man had his dirty fantasies.

"It's nice to see young men still think I'm still sexy. Enough of that second question is do you think you can get up and come to see others?" Celestia asked.

Spike got up throwing the blanket aside"Am I ever. I really need to talk to them and hope they weren't too worried about me."

Celestia noticed something new on Spike's right shoulder there was a tattoo of a dragon with four horns. "That's odd I don't recall Spike having a tattoo and that shape looks familiar. I'll ask about that after the reunion." Celestia thought to herself.

"As much as I enjoy your enthusiasm maybe you should put on some clothing first. Unless you actually like to display your dragonhood to the whole world." Celestia told laughing and pointing a finger towards Spike's lower parts.

Spike cowered his private parts. "Could I get some privacy to dress up. Please?" Spike asked.

Celestia just gave a warm smile and patted Spike's head. "Of course I'll wait outside by the door." she told him and left the room giving Spike some privacy to dress.
