I hope you like this chapter :D

Drama Time

Spike's Room

8 a.m.

Sun was shining into Spike's room through the curtains. Sunrays were hitting him into his eyes. This got Spike to get up from his bed. Spike noticed Twilight still sleeping and without any clothes on her. Memories of last night started to return and with them a regret.

"Celestia what have I done? I really am just a horrible drake." Spike talked to himself. His rambling woke Twilight up.
"Spike. Your not a horrible dragon I have always had feelings for you, but I didn't act upon them once I heard you were dating Rarity. Once I heard you and Rarity were rolling in the hay with Applejack I decided to do some research." Twilight explained, but Spike interrupted her.
"So you know about that. Then you know I'm horrible drake. I used not just my mare friend but now two of my best friends to sate my lust."
"Could I please finish? You did only what was natural to dragons. Some dragons need multiple partners in their life to sate their lust and so to hold back their greed. And you, my lovely drake are one who needs multiple partners in short you need a personal harem. Once I learned this I decided to study your daily activities with Rarity and that's when I learned about Applejack. Upon learning it was your idea to ask her to get involved in your relationship and that you don't really care about material goods I came to the conclusion your one of those who needs multiple females to keep their greed in check. I did have a talk with mom about what should I do with my feelings towards a certain male and no I didn't tell her it was you. She only told me to follow my heart and that's what I did last night. So I'm not mad at you and you certainly aren't a monster." Twilight finished.

Spike was didn't have words to answer. Here he thought that he did something immoral and Twilight pulled her back up again. Spike didn't have time to answer a knock could be heard from the door and after that a voice that was Celestia's
"Spike you up yet? You dressed up I'm coming in" Celestia asked.

Celestia opened the door and at that moment Twilight teleported away as fast as she could manage. Upon entering Celestia sees Spike in bed and then the unmistakable scent of sex hits her nostrils. Celestia was about to comment something about this situation but decided against it after all that would make her sound a hypocrite if her plan works out. She knew it couldn't be Rarity since she was still sleeping in her own guest room.

"Spike. Care to give the name of the mare you did last night or perhaps a dragoness?" Celestia asked.
"What are you walking about mom?" Spike asked trying to sound innocent.
"Spike I think I'm old enough to recognize the smell of sex. I don't say I'm mad I'm just worried about you. I know a little bit about dragons and some dragon hoards females as their personal harem instead of hoarding treasure. You should talk to your girls about adding another member to your hoard. Just be careful going behind the back of your girls isn't smart and neither a safe idea." Celestia explained to Spike.

Spike sighed of course her mother was right she always was. "I... I'll talk with Rarity and Applejack after we get to Ponyville. I also need to talk with Twilight about what happened last night. It wasn't really planned it kinda just happened." Spike told Celestia.
"Oh my... Isn't this developing into an interesting story? I never imagined my student to have time or interest for physical compassion." She answered.
"Well turn's out she has just been hiding it really well. Let's just say she's really good at this activity." Spike explained.
"I see. I'll go and have a talk with Twilight you should take shower and move to the dining hall. Torch should have some more info about what happened in the library with the mirror." Celestia told Spike and left the room.
Spike got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom to take a shower before. hot water running over him Spike started to was himself. "Well that was an interesting conversation. I thought mom would be angrier but she took it pretty well. I just hope that Rarity and Applejack won't kill me after they learn what me and Twilight." Spike thought while washing himself.

Twilight's Private Quarters

Twilight was walking circles in her room panicking.
"Gods what I'm going to do? Celestia herself came to the room. I'm sure she picked up our scents. What am I going to do? I had sex with Spike without asking her permission and without talking to Rarity and Applejack first Celestia is going to lock me up I'm sure of it or worse she may..." "Knock! Knock!" Twilight's ranting was interrupted upon hearing knocks on her door.
"Who is it?" Twilight asked hoping it wasn't who she knew it is.
"Celestia. May I come in?" Celestia answered.
Twilight sighed. "Yes, Princess you may."

Celestia entered Twilights room but she didn't have an angry look on her face it was the normal neutral look she always wore.
"I had an interesting talk with my son a moment ago." Celestia started.
Twilight face turned red as a tomato. "I'm sorry princess I should have talked to you first about this. Please don't be mad." Twilight pleaded.
"Mad? Why I would be mad? If anything I'm a little jealous. I'm happy that you have finally found somepony special. Although you should have talked first with Rarity and Applejack before doing this." Celestia told Twilight.
Twilight had a dumb look on her face. "What? I thought you would be mad at me for what I did with Spike. I know what I did was selfish I shouldn't have done that I'm sorry." Twilight apologized.

"It's not me who you should ask forgiveness it's Rarity and Applejack. Dragons Harem is based on trust and love from both sides. Of course, there have been more let's say immoral harem's created by more devious dragons. You should take it as your first priority for you four to talk together about what happened. I'm sure they will understand after all Spike is a strong drake and has a lot of love to give." Celestia finished.
"I... You're right again princess. I'll talk with them after we get to Ponyvile." Twilight answered.
"Breakfast should be ready soon and Torch has some info for us. You should join us." Celestia said turned around and walked to the door. "Oh... And you really should take shower before you join us you reek of sex." Celestia said and left the room. Twilight sniffed herself a couple of times. She really did stink of sex, grabbing the towel she walked to the bathroom to wash.

Royal Dining Hall

Luna was sitting at the table alone at the moment deep in thought sipping her coffee. The huge doors opened and Celestia walked in. Luna didn't even notice her sister enter until she spoke up.
"Morning sister. What's the matter you seem to be unfocused. This isn't like you at all." Celestia asked her younger sibling.
"I was just deep in thought. I was thinking about Nightmare Moon incident." Luna answered.
"Why is she making a return?" Celestia asked worry clear in her voice.
"No. nothing like that. It's just that the talk with Torch yesterday made me think about what I did and if I could have done something differently." Luna told her sister.
"I'm sure you did all you could." Celestia reassured her sister.
"It's not that it's... You remember our fight against Sombra." Luna asked
"How could I forget you pretty much saved my life there. If you hadn't defeated Sombra while I was trapped in his fear spell we wouldn't be here." Celestia answered.

"Yes. It's just that... Nightmare Moon became part of me during that fight. Sombra used his fear spell on me too but she appeared to me and promised to help me to save you. All I had to do was allow her to enter into me and not tell a word to you or she would use my body to kill you. If I knew she was that corruptive force I would have never agreed to her help but I was desperate I didn't want to lose the only family I had left." Luna explained.
"So yesterday speaking about protecting your loved once you meant this one?" Celestia asked.
Luna lowered her head in shame "Yes. If I haven't been so weak... I failed everyone when I accepted her deal for power. I just wanted to be as strong as my big sister." Luna finished.

"Lulu. You were faced with an impossible decision. In dire situation. I'm also partial to blame. I should have seen the signs. Your isolated behavior should have been the first warning that you needed help, but I was so focused on ponies who worshipped us like gods. I was a young and blind fool and that blindness cost me, my sister, for a thousand years." Celestia told Luna
"Family is both sources of your strength and your weakness." Luna said.
"Now you sound like dad. Dad never told you how proud he was about your interest and your training in swordsmanship" Celestia told her.
"Really? You should have heard how mom bragged about you all the time when you couldn't hear her how proud she was about your studies in magic." Luna replied.

Both of the mares started to laugh and giggle removing the lingering negativity from the room. At that moment Torch, Ember and Smolder entered the dining hall. Celestia and Luna turned towards their guests.
"Lord Ember, Torch and Smolder it's good to see you decided to join us this fine morning." Celestia greeted her guests.
"We also like to welcome you in our fair city" Luna added
"Thank you for the invitation, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna." Ember answered giving a small bow at the same time.
"Princess Celestia might I ask for a chance of private talk before others arrive? This is important it's about Spike." Torch asked Celestia.
Upon hearing it's important and it's about her son Celestia's face turned serious."Of course Torch maybe my personal study room would be the proper place for this?" Celestia asked and Torch just nodded his head.
"Lulu could you wait here for others?" Celestia asked.
"Fine... I'll stay here and do your job again, but you better fill me in or I can make you talk later." Luna said with a devilish grin.
Celesia blushed a little and nodded after she teleported herself and Torch to her personal study.
Upon arriving at Celestia's study Torch was amazed at how large it was. There were multiple different and rare flowers and other small trees that Celestia has been tending during her free time.
"So what is it you wanted to talk about? Is something wrong with Spike?" Celestia asked worry clear in her voice.
"Nothing is wrong with Spike but what worries me is a part of a story in this book" Torch answered to Celestia and threw the book in front of her.
"What's this it looks really old." Celestia asked while studying the book that had black scales as covers.
"It has the history of the two brothers written down by the first dragon lord. The story says that the first dragon lord helped to seal Exitium to his realm, but what worries me what the story says at the end of the book. To make this portal both champions of Draco and Exitium used their powers to create that portal and only magic from both champions can make the portal work both ways. Now it should just allow a person to enter the realm of chaos but not leave from there."

Celestia was deep in thought. True there were ways to create portals or other magical items to work only when both attuned magic's were channeled to the object. But this was magic that is linked directly to two gods so it was new even to her. At that explosion of chocolate milk splattered everything in chocolate. Celestia wiped her eyes and had a little angry look on her face.
"Eris! What's this about!?" Celestia shouted.
"Well, I happened to meet a little butterfly when I was at Fluttershy and he told me an interesting story that was developing here and so I decided to visit my best friends and see if there would be something I could help you with. So what are you doing?"
"So it's true that Chaos chimera is friends with ponies?" Torch asked while cleaning the chocolate on him.
"Oh it's true we are the best of friends with Celestia. We even have some girls nights now and then and this girl once she gets enough alcohol she tells pretty much anything you ask her this one time..." Eris was interrupted by Celestia who closed her mouth with her own magic.

"Haa Haa... Thank you, Eris but we were having a talk about this Exitium and..." Celestia was interrupted when Eris snapped her fingers and reappeared behind Celestia.
"Why are you talking about grandpa? That old fart is thankfully locked up back home."
"What!" both Torch and Celestia yelled.
"You are related to him?" Torch asked.
"Come on it's pretty much in the name. Draconequus and Lady of Chaos with almost godly powers you should really learn to connect the dots." Eris told them.

"But if you are related to Exitium how are you here in this realm and not locked up inside this chaos realm as he is?" Celestia asked.
With a buff or magic, the book Torch showed appeared on Eris's hand.
"Ahh... I see you read her book. It mostly has only half-truths in it. It's a little funny too, but not the entire story. True he is locked up in the Chaos realm but it's false that the whole Chaos realm is sealed only part of it where grandpa is imprisoned. Imagine it as a big prison with only one all-powerful entity locked inside." Eris explained.

"But why lock your own family member away? Shouldn't you and your family be close to him? You know playing with chaos runs in the family." Torch asked.
"Chaos magic sure that runs in the family. The way to use it is a different matter."
"What do you mean?" Celestia asked.
"I know what I did in past was wrong but never hurt anyone I was just having fun in my own unique way. Grandpa on the other hand takes chaos to a new level He can manipulate the fabric of reality to such a fine level that you don't even notice that something is wrong. All the rules will disappear from your head. Nothing is a bad idea to try. Dad told stories that his favorite pastime was to play with mortal minds stripping the rules away from them and see how long it takes for one to kill another."

"So what happened?" Torch asked clearly interested in the true story of the two brothers.
"Well most of it is in this book avatar's used their powers to imprison him. What it doesn't say is that those two champions were twins, brother, and sister. And the idea came from dad. Grandpa was a threat to all life in all realms." Eris explained.
"So what happened what was the plan really?" Celestia questioned.
"I'll tell you later if you really are interested in the story, but you need to tell me why you were talking about that old fart in the first place." Eris said

"Well you see Spike is Draco's champion and he managed to activate Mirror of Brothers and if what Twilight told it showed a dragoness similar looking like Spike on it." torch explained
"The mirror activated and there was someone else in it than grandpa?" Eris asked panic clearly showing in her face.
"Yes. Is that a problem?" Celestia answered.
"This isn't good if the mirror showed someone else than grandpa. There is no way to tell what he is planning and how did someone manage to enter his prison without dad or mom's wards activating. I need to go back home fast." Eris thought to herself.
"Well that is interesting. If you excuse me I got something to do with honeybees toodles." Eris said and vanished in a flash of fire.
Celestia had noticed the look Eris was giving it was full of panic. "What's with her I don't recall her having been that worried unless something was wrong with Fluttershy." Celestia pondered.
"Well she is special as you can see but back to matter at hand something about Spike." Celestia said to Torch.
"Well after that reveal I don't really know does the story hold any truth, but at the end of the book there is a prophecy about Exitium escaping his prison with the help of both champions and that these two would hold the fate of the world in their hands." Torch answered.
"And here I thought this couldn't get any worse." Celestia said annoyed covering her head with her hands.

Royal Dining Hall

Back in the dining hall during Celestia's and Torch's talk Rarity, Spike and Twilight had arrived and Luna had welcomed them all to dine with her excusing her sister's absence. What really was moving inside Luna's head at the moment how awkward this morning breakfast was. All just sitting there seated and no small talk at all. As if there was something wrong with these ponies and dragons.
Luna slammed her hand on the table. All the eyes turned towards her"That's it! What's wrong with you all! Normally you would talk with each other asking all kinds of questions. Now you just sit there looking like something bad had happened. So what's going on!?" Luna yelled frustrated at her guests.

Spike was the one to break the silence. "It's just complicated. I have a hard time figuring out what to do." he said.
"Well that explains why your so silent, but not why the others are. Now out with it talking with someone about your problems might help you find a way to deal with them" Luna said.
All of them except Smolder answered at the same time with the same answer. "It's about Spike."
All went silent and the air standstill and all three of them looked at each other.
"What you to Twilight?!" Ember asked.
"Hey you keep your hands away from our Spike!" Twilight yelled.
"Spike you have something to tell me?" Rarity asked while giving a glare that promised death.
"We got a Horxican stand-off here!" Smolder commented while holding back her laughter.
"Ehh... Maybe..." Spike answered while sweating and praying silently for a quick and painless death.
Luna rubbed her head in annoyance. "Sister someday I'll get you for all the trouble you put me through." Luna said to herself. At that moment a flash of bright sunlight appeared and once it was gone Torch and Celestia were back.

Looking around the hall was something Celestia didn't imagine she would see when returning. Rarity yelling and threatening Spike. Twilight and Ember arguing about Spike.
"Lulu what did I miss?" Celestia asked.
"How nice of you to return sister. If you ever leave me again to a situation like this I'll make you pay for it." Luna answered.
"What? What's wrong Lulu?" Celestia asked.
"Can't you see? These three ladies are having some heart to heart about Spike." Luna told her.
Celestia sighed. "Princess Twilight Sparkle stop this arguing this instant!" Celestia yelled with Royal Canterlot's voice.
"You to Ember, don't act like a hatchling." Torch said to his daughter.
The arguing stopped in an instant and all of them were looking towards Celestia.
"Now let's have a friendly chat and see what's the real problem here." Celestia said and pointed all of them to sit at the table. Once all of them were sitting Celestia opened the conversation.
"Now how about you tell me why are you fighting like children?" Celestia asked.

Meanwhile

Realm of Chaos

Eris appeared with a flash of fire at the entrance to a huge castle. The castle looked pretty normal but the watchtowers were upside down and the bridge was in the air spinning over the moat of molten chocolate.
"Ah home sweet home." Eris said to herself.
Eris snapped her fingers and the bridge stopped spinning and lowered down to allow her to pass. Walking through the halls of the castle deep in thought on how to explain the situation to her parents. An explosion of liquid marshmallows appeared next to Eris and taller female draconequus almost identical only she had longer horns and was darker colored on her fur and her eyes were dark pink with blue irises.

"'Oh sweetie it's so good to finally see you again. I and your father thought you would never come back and see us again." said draconequus and pulled Eris to a deathly hug.
"Uwww... Mom! Air!" Eris yelled while getting crushed.
"Oh sorry sweetie. What brings you here?" she asked after releasing her daughter.
"I'm here to see you and dad I have something important to discuss with you. It's... It's about grandpa." Eris answered.
Her mother's face transformed serious and with a snap of her fingers, Eris and her mother were teleported to the throne room. The throne room was big. There were many different flowers and trees growing in the center of the room was a huge fountain which was flowing with chocolate. Eris and her mother approached throned were a little shorter than Eris but more muscular draconequus was sitting. He had a huge beard and her fur was bright white almost like that of Celestias. He had one big horn growing from his head.

"Ahh... Tiamat my lovely wife and who's that with you?" asked male draconequus with a booming voice.
"Hi dad." Eris said while hiding behind her mother.
Seeing it was his daughter who had returned home draconequus jumped up from the throne and dashed to grab hold of her daughter while crying rivers of water.
"Oh my sweet little pumpkin has returned at last. I feared I would never see you again" He yelled while crushing his daughter with his hug.
"Air!!!" Eris yelled while fighting for her dear life.
"Typh. I think you're crushing our daughter to death." Tiamat told to her husband.
Seeing this Typh released his daughter from his hug."I'm sorry my dear It's just you never write or call us."
"Gasp... You're worse than mom!" Eris yelled to her father.
"Again. I'm sorry. Now, what brings you here? Some love problems and need your parent's help?" Typh asked.
Eris's face went deep red and smoke started to come out of her ears."Dad! Not this again!"
"Hey I and your mother want some grandkids to pamper and you have literally transformed all the suitors to monkey fish." Typh said while pointing to a big bowl with multiple monkeys with fins.
"Hey those perverts deserved it. I'll turn them back eventually. But I have something really important to talk about with you and mom." Eris said to her father.
"Okay. What does my pumpkin want to talk about if it's not boy problems?" Typh asked.
"He wants to talk about Grandpa." Tiamat said.
Typh just sighed."What do you want with him?" he asked.
"Well truth be told I'm not really sure yet. I have a high suspicion there is someone else inside his prison. A female dragon." Eris told her parents.
"I see we must go and see this ourselves then." Typh answered with a calm yet calculative voice.
Typh offered his hand to Eris and Tiamat, both of them took hold of him and in a flash of purple fire they disappeared.
