Dusk just looked around, his head shaking while thinking about what could happen next.

“Dusk, maybe we should get you back upstairs, maybe finish what we started, “Sunset Shimmer said in her calming voice while Dusk wasn’t even sure. His head hurt, but he said,

“Yeah, maybe, but that wasn’t me. I’m sure of it, and I couldn’t have… could I?”

“Dusk, it's ok, relax, Let’s get your mind off this. We’ll figure out what's going on.”

“Fine, let's get back to our room, Applejack. Do you want to come with us?” Dusk asked, looking towards the Minotaur girl, who shook her head,

“I’ve got to keep an eye on the place, just be safe, Dusk, and have fun, alright.” She spoke calmly, yet Dusk somehow felt like she was afraid of him, or was it worried? He wasn’t sure Dusk felt more confused about what was happening than anyone else. Dusk shook his head, trying to clear his mind of everything going on, as he followed Sunset Shimmer up the stairs again, his heart pounding while his head filled with thoughts. He looked back, watching how her tail swished back and forth, teasing him with every sway of her hips.

Just focus on her; that’ll keep my mind free. Dusk thought, his eyes mesmerized by that fine ass of hers, as he wanted to get a good feel of that fox booty. They made their way back into his room, her tail swishing as they walked through the door, closing it. Dusk reaches around, locks the door,

“Alright, maybe we should call it a—” But before he could finish his sentence, he could feel Sunset Shimmer jumping on him, her legs quickly wrapping around him as he thought his back pressed against the door. A loud thump echoed for a second as he felt her kissing his lips,

“Sunset Shimmer!” Dusk muffled out between her lips as she held onto him and wrapped her tail around the two of them. Dusk felt her hot slit pressing against the bulge of his boxers. So soft and fluffy. It made Dusk forget about what had happened two him as he pushed those darker thoughts out of his head, his fingers reaching around and caressing his succulent Vixen, his tricky fox.

“Now come on, just relax and take me, stud, forget what happened, and ravage me like the beast I know you are.” That foxy grin spread ear to ear. Those sharp teeth, as he found, he couldn’t resist her. Her beauty, warm fluffy tail, and how she looked at him. She knew how to drive him crazy.

“I think I can do that, at least for now,” Dusk grunted, feeling her hand sneaking around her claws, cutting the underwear bands off as his cock shot out. She moaned, feeling the way it smacked against her. She licked his cheek as she muttered,

“I want you to do more, baby, please. I can’t hold back any longer.” As she rubbed her fine cunt against his cock, the way it felt, Dusk couldn’t fight it off, not any longer as he pushed against the entrance, and with a small pop, he felt himself sliding into her. It was slow, and her pussy felt like it was trying to suck him in.

“Holy, so tight!” He grunted, finding that no matter how many times he fucked his fox lover, she seemed only to get tighter. It made him wonder if maybe it was some Fox magic that allowed her to be this good. His hips slammed into her as he fought off the urge to cum. His heart races faster.

“Keep going, fuck me, baby! Fill my hot pussy with your cum” Sunset Shimmer moaned as her tails rubbed against him like a warm blanket. Dusk grunted as he pulled out. He groaned, holding onto her as if his life depended on it. Sunset Shimmer cried out in protest till she felt Dusk grab her by the waist as he turned her around, pushing her onto the bed as she lay on her stomach.

“Oh, Dusk! You Animal!” She teased, turning her head and giving him a foxy grin. Dusk watched the ravaged look on his face as he pushed her down onto the bed, getting right behind her as his rigid, throbbing member pushed against her pussy entrance. Licking his lips.

“You wanted me this badly; I’ll give it to you, Sunset Shimmer!” He grabbed her luscious hips. His fingers sank into her soft flesh as he pulled her back, friendly and challenging. His cock penetrated deep into the fox spirit as she screamed in pleasure.

The bed rocked against them as Dusk pounded Sunset Shimmer, her back arching as Dusk reached over, grabbed her hair, and pulled it back. The pure dominance on his face as he looked over his sexy woman was almost unlike him as he grunted more animalistic.

Sunset Shimmer, somehow unable to hold back, found herself consumed with fire. The bed, scorching with her, fires, as Dusk kept taking advantage of his ability to be immune to fire as he kept fucking her with every ounce of strength he had.

“Dusk! Dusk, Oh sweet heavens!” She moaned out as she felt him consuming her with his hot cock, as she pushed her wonderous toosh against his. She never even noticed someone watching them, as Dusk caught a glimpse of someone moving outside their window.

Gabby watched them with a sneaky grin as she had her hand down her pants, furiously masturbating to the two fucking. Dusk waved his hand, trying to make her leave while he continued his thrust, but the Impish demon shook her head as she continued furiously fingering herself. Bitting that bottom lip. Dusk would make a mental note to punish her later when he had a chance.

Though for now, he had a special Kitsune to take care of. His hand slapped Sunset Shimmer’s ass with a firm strike. The firefox screamed in pleasure as he took her without restraint.

Sunset Shimmer’s eyes rolled to the back of her skull as she screeched in pleasure. If someone else heard it, they might have assumed it was a woman getting murdered. Dusk didn’t care. He groaned hard, pushing her down onto the bed and holding her down as he pounded into the fox woman faster.

“You like that, like having your mate's cock in your tight little pussy?” Dusk spoke the heaviness in his voice, as if he was going crazy.

“Yes, mate me! Mate, your fox!” Sunset Shimmer responded, her eyes crossing as she couldn’t fight it back, feeling herself cumming, hard, her juices squirting off. As she felt her legs turning into Jelly. But Dusk wasn’t able to stop. His cock thrusts deeper.

Dusk found himself unable to hold back. He started pushing his cock as deep as he could, feeling it forcing it to the edge as he felt his member burst out, unleashing his hot cream into her. Sunset Shimmer howled in pleasure as Dusk grunted. Ropes of cum filled his mate as he felt his head turning light. Looking towards the window, he watched Gabby and continued masturbating furiously as she watched, and without warning, fell right off the tree she was watching them on.

For a second, he thought he heard a loud thump. Shaking his head, he fell forward on top of the Kitsune. Her fire dampened as he held onto her, gently wrapping his arms around her. Not even bothering to pull his cock out of her as the two rested.

“I love you, Dusk-Kun,” Sunset Shimmer whispered while her tail wrapped around him like a fresh blanket in the snow.

Dusk felt his heart skipping a beat; he was close to saying something but hesitating. He was unsure if he would say the right thing but shook his head.

“I-I love you too, Sunset Shimmer.” He spoke calmly but felt scared even saying it. Not sure why saying those three words scared him, he silenced himself and pushed the thought away as he pulled her in closer, as they got comfortable in the bed. She would be the little spoon tonight as they spooned each other. Soon they would drift off to sleep.

---000---

Blueblood smiled, sitting in the room, the woman who owned the house. Stellar Flame, that was her name. Blueblood chuckled as he sat on the couch. His fingers flickered while summoning various magic as he watched the white flames turning into dark ice balls and soon into a light plant.

“Soon, it will be mine again, and I just need some time.” He chuckled, looking towards the window. He had a long smile as he watched the house. The sight of the bordello, seeing the place he once called home just beyond his fingertips.

He still remembered the day that the home had thrown him out. The anger he felt, they want to take it back. But the house’s magic had prevented him from returning by vanishing. He felt rage, and for the first few years, he wanted to burn the house down in a blaze of its former glory, then it turned into denial, but now, he was ready to take his rightful place as the owner of this home.

A wave of anger passed through the warlock as he wanted to go over there and kill this Dusk Walker. The thought of the house, picking someone else. First, that confederate idiot Key’s, and now this young American boy.

“What does the house see in this boy? I was its owner, learned its secrets, and could protect it. I was the strongest guardian and kept the monsters in the house in line. Doing their job.” He felt a thump in the back of his head. While he tried ignoring that feeling, he knew there was more as he let out a sigh.

He finally had a chance, and the rumor of a Dragon egg made him wonder if there was a chance to take place back. The magic hidden in the house so the egg might have been the key to all of this. It’s getting that magic.

“This is my chance. I’ve got Mavis with me, and If I get the egg, maybe I can take the magic, cure her, and take the home. Everything will be mine.” He chuckled, crushing the ice sphere.

Looking back, he had an idea as he stood up heading towards the room of Stellar Flames's son; he had a plan and was sure he could talk the boy into doing it. He would get his hand on the egg if it were the last thing he did.

-000-

Dusk groaned as he found himself waking up. A warmth consumed him as he opened his eyes, seeing that a certain fox was holding him, a minotaur off to the side, and on top of him an Imp. Dusk let out a long sigh as he lay there for a moment, feeling their warm embrace. It was nice. At least at first, though, he eventually had to take a good piss, and soon, scuffling around, he pulled himself out of bed. He’d somehow managing not to each the three girls on his bed. He took a step and found himself tripping over Ember's gold pile.

His face mounted into the gold, and he let out a long groan as he rested his head there, feeling the gold coins against him till he felt lifted. It was none other than Ember, who looked at him, that quiet, soft expression. So different from when they had first met, how those raging eyes had managed to calm down. Her egg close by, Dusk somehow found it looked a little bigger than it had before and redder—like blood.

“How's the baby going, or Hatchling or.”

“It’s doing well, thanks for asking. She said softly while she looked at the egg, calmer, as Dusk found him asking,

“Are you ok? Sorry, but you’re not yourself much these days.”

“I’m just tired, I want to keep the egg warm, and I don’t sleep like I used to; I need to protect our egg.” She whispered as she looked at Dusk.

“Isn’t that dangerous? I mean not sleeping.”

“It can be; Dragons are at their weakest when waiting for their egg to hatch. Many knights have taken advantage of this moment, and it’s why so few of my kind are ever really around, at least the female ones.”

“If you want to rest, I can watch the egg. At least have a nap.”

“Can’t wanna be there; what if it hatches? I want to be there when it sees me, and I’m its Momma.”

“I’ll make sure you’ll be the first to see it if it hatches,” Dusk said while he caressed her cheek. She felt so warm and soft.

“I guess I could take an hour's nap, at the very least. But I’ll have to add a bit of extra fire onto the little egg.” She looked at it for the longest time as she turned back.

“Do you wanna touch our egg, Dusk? I mean, you haven’t had much time with everything happening?” She asked, The gentleness in her voice while she caressed the egg. Dusk smiled,

“You know I’d love to feel my child's… Egg.” Dusk wasn’t sure if he would ever get used to something like that as he moved in closer. He was looking at the thing that would be his child as he reached over and touched it. The calming warmth radiated as he felt the beating of something. It was soft and lovely.

“Wow, this feels amazing.” He responded, looking back at Ember, who just sat there giving a loving smile as she took in the scene. That was when he felt something bump against his hand, a hard jerk as he watched the egg move a bit.

“Ember, it’s kicking!” Dusk's voice raised in excitement while Ember snickered, clearly amused by that,

“It does that sometimes, though It might mean it could hatch now or in a few months; Dragon eggs are fickle.”

“How so?” Dusk found himself asking as he held onto the little egg, his heart racing as he felt connected to it more than ever as he kissed the top of it.

“Some Dragon eggs can take a year before it hatches; others can be a hundred years; I think my momma had told me that one dragon egg had taken a thousand years.”

“It takes that long? I mean, that seems crazy?” Dusk muttered while he curled in, wrapping his body around the egg. Something about it comforted him even more while holding on.

“It’s how dragons are; powerful Dragons can be born faster, while the weaker ones take time, taking in their mother's warmth. But it depends on who the parents are.”

“How about if their father is human… Will it affect it? Cause I don’t think I could survive a thousand years waiting to see this one being born.”

“It’s mixed, but with it being half-breed, I’m sure it’ll be born sooner. But it’s rare for a human-dragon hybrid to be born. But when it happens. It’s going to be something.” Ember said while yawning. Dusk smiled, patting Ember's Side as he reached over, grabbed the small egg, and held it carefully. Looking at it for a moment, he sighed, knowing he had this. He turned and made his way back downstairs.

Dusk walked downstairs, and he found himself running right into Celestia.

“Oh Celestia, Um, how is it going?” Dusk said while rubbing the egg. Though Celestia the wereCougar looked at him, her glasses being adjusted, not happy with him.

“Not happy; we had to perform spells on the customer you assaulted last night.”

“Hey, he was threatening one of her girls. I had to do something.”

“I’m not talking about that; I’m talking about you blanking out; mind explaining what that was all about?”

“Listen, I don’t know; I know one minute, the guy was making a threat against Applejack, and the next thing I knew, I was being pulled away by the girls. It doesn’t make sense.” He held onto the egg, keeping calm.

“Interesting, and you don’t remember anything?”

“Not a bit; I have no idea what’s going on.” Dusk sighed while the two began heading down the stairs.

“It is strange; maybe it’s something to do with hell… Maybe, though, it could be something else.” Celestia said while she made a turn heading over towards her office.

“I wish I could answer, but it’s just… I don’t get it; why are these things happening.”

“It might be stressed, and if you want, I’m sure we can get someone you can talk to.”

“Who are we going to have Trixie be a shrink?” Dusk said, giving a light chuckle. It was clear that Celestia wasn’t having any of that as she shot him a rather dirty look.

“No, I don’t think It would be worth Trixies time, besides she’s off at her duties, so I don’t even think she has time.” Celestia sighed as she rubbed her temple,

“It’s fine; I’ll be alright.”

“No, Dusk, it’s not; what if this blackout happens again, and you hurt one of the girls? I can’t let you be a danger to the girls. The house will not stand you being violent to the girls or doing something to them. It will remove you. If I don’t get my hands on you.” Her eyes glowed bright, meaning business.

“I wouldn’t hurt the girls, none of them. I care for them, and I care for you.” Dusk said while feeling his blood boil at the idea that Celestia would accuse him of hurting anyone in the house. He shuddered at the thought of what he might have done if he had never found this place. He might have owed his life to all of them in many ways.

“It’s still risky, and You are going to need to talk to someone; maybe I can see if one of the girls can help out,”

“Any of them have a degree in phycology or something?” Dusk asked,

“Probably, some of the girls did take classes; as I said, this house is more than a bordello; it’s a home for monsters that can’t fully be out in the world. Some of us didn’t start as monsters.” Celestia spoke with a long sigh as she looked at her claws. “Like Me, remember I went to school as a lawyer, and I think I’m a pretty good one.” Celestia chuckled while she looked at her desk.

Celestia looked at the picture of Keys on the desk, how she missed the older man; life was semi-simple with the older man around. As she reached over, touching it.

“If you can find someone, but… Listen, it’s not easy for me to talk to people about certain things. So, who knows what's going to happen? But I’ll try.”

“You do what you have to. Otherwise, we might be in trouble,” Celestia said, looking at the egg; somehow, she found it cute seeing the young man with an Egg. It made her want to help out, but she shook her head.

“Is there anything else? Have you run into Blueblood?”

“No, not yet. Did you get any information?” Dusk asked while he looked back at his egg; the long sighed as he felt its warm embrace around him. Just being around the thing made him feel relaxed. Like there was more to his life than he ever expected.

“I’ve talked with Bellatrix, and yeah, this guy is a major piece of work.”

“Well, what is it,” Dusk said, looking back at the woman,

“Well, he was a pass house guardian, but apparently, he was trying to use some of the girls in a sick sense of gaining immortality. He turned out to be the twin brother of Nicolas Flamel, but while his brother went off and became an Alchemist, Blueblood studied magic.” Celestia stopped for a second as she looked at a few papers.

“How did he run into the house? You figured it wouldn’t have let him anywhere near the house. He was going to do that.”

“Not sure, though the house had chosen him and kept him around for a while; maybe he wasn’t like this before. But one thing is for sure, near the end, he was doing some strange things. At least what Madame Bellatrix said,” Celestia looked away for a minute like she was choosing the right words, from what her predecessor had told her at one point.

“It was Dark magic that she claimed caused chaos in the house. He was divisive. Some of the girls adored him; others hated him. It changed after Keys came in and took the house.”

“It didn’t sound like it was too pleasant.”

“It wasn’t; apparently, it was a bit of a bloody fight. Though the house was the deciding factor, it's a choice for a guardian, and it chose Keys over Blueblood.”

“Now this leads to another question… How is Blueblood still alive? I mean, Keys was over a hundred and fifty years old. This guy had to have been ancient even then.” Dusk found himself more worried, especially when reminded of what the man did with his Gun without even putting up much of a fight.

“That’s the thing that confused me also. When he was removed from the guardian position, the magic keeping him young should have been broken unless….” Celestia paused for the longest time.

“Unless what?”

“He found a way to become immortal and young. But it should be impossible, only a few monsters can bless that kind of power in the house, and some of them live in the house; they only showed up after he left. Unless he found another way.”

Dusk shook his head,

“Is there any way he might take the house back? He was talking about wanting the place.” Dusk asked as he held onto the egg, wondering if they could take this guy down.

“I don’t think so, but the idea of a past owner trying to take place, there isn’t any past precedent, So whatever happens… we just have to be careful.” Celestia sighed while she looked at the picture. Celestia felt worried about what might happen. But shook her head.

“Well, if it comes down to it, We’ll kill him,” Dusk said, his voice turning cold as the words left his mouth.

“Wow, Dusk never imagined you saying something like that. It isn’t you.”

“Well… I have a lot to protect, and I’m not letting some Frenchman steal our home.”

Celestia found herself smiling at that, more impressed by his response as she let out a sigh,

“We’ll do what we can, but be careful. Those who hunt monsters should be careful of becoming one.”

“Isn’t that a bit ironic since this house is full of monsters?” Dusk fought off the urge to laugh at that one.

“You’d be surprised by some of the girls; I’ve met some who started well and then turned bad. But that’s why a guardian is needed.”

“Yeah, but who watches the Watchmen?” Dusk said, thinking back to Blueblood, while Celestia let out a sigh,

“Well, that would be the house and the girls. I guess, in a way, we keep each other in check. Now go off and do something hand out with your egg.”

“Will do; come on, Eggy, we got a lot of things to do. Maybe I’ll tell you some Yokes.” Dusk said while patting the top of the scarlet egg. Celestia rolled her eyes,

“Kids not even born, and you’re telling dad jokes.”

“Gotta get started early.” Dusk chuckled while chuckling as he lifted the egg, and he had to admit the egg was feeling quite heavy.

Celestia watched them head off, and She couldn’t help but feel happy for the young man; he had grown far more from when they had first met, Though for better or for worst. The werecougar wasn’t entirely sure.

-000-

“So, all I have to do is steal this… stone? Then you’ll cover my college tuition?” Sunburst said, looking towards Blueblood, who stood there leaning on his cane.

“That I will do portal, or If you do this for me, I’ll make sure that your wildest dreams come true.” The Wizard said while Sunburst found himself looking at the man; somehow, every red flag was going off in his head while he looked at the wizard, everything telling him not to trust him. Yet something about him caught Sunburst off, like a small part of him falling for the charismatic charm. Like he was under some spell.

Sunburst sighed while nodding, thinking about what could happen. The guy was rich, and maybe, he’d be able to get enough money to afford college, Or I could be able to try and become a boxer. I get enough money to go off and do my own thing when I graduate. Now worry about how mom might react. He found himself thinking back to when he spoke to his mom about how he might not want to go to college. That had only ended in disaster. She had ended up crying, worried that she might have failed him. She kept telling him she wanted her baby boy to be the first one to go to college.

Sunburst was afraid he might fail her, and he wasn’t sure what to do to make her happy. That was all he ever wanted to do. But at the same time, Sunburst wanted to feel free. He tried to do his own thing. He shuddered while looking back at the man in white.

“Fine, where’s this egg? As long as I don’t get into trouble, No one finds out about this.”

“I swear on my mother's grave, and you won’t be scene.” The man touched him on the back, and Sunburst felt something cold hit him, and for a few seconds, he imagined that the temperature outside was getting colder, which was strange for someplace like Texas.

“Go in there, act naturally, and Get me that egg. It’s somewhere in that house.” Blueblood spoke, giving a broad smile, as he would be sure to get what would be his.

Blueblood watched Sunburst heading to the Bordello; as he licked his lips, he could almost taste that egg. Then the house would be his.

-000-

Dusk moved around, Carrying the egg; as he went over to make breakfast, sure a few of the girls offered to cook him up something nice; while he was taking care of the egg, Dusk rejected the offer, figuring he could make something simple. As He was thinking about what his next plan was. Bacon and sausage, The sounds of its sizzling meat filled the room while he had his head away from the egg. With a long sigh, it was clear that everything was fine.

That was when he heard the knocking on the door.

“Who would be here this early in the morning?” Looking at the time, some of him cursed, but with this place and the people that visit, he should have known there would be people coming in this early in the morning. Not even thinking, Dusk reached over, grabbed the egg, and headed off to the front door; he motioned over, putting the egg on the desk, as he popped his neck. Dusk quickly fixed his shirt, knowing he wouldn’t have time to get anything better, but at least his dick wasn’t swinging around like last time.

The knocking continued as Dusk let out a long grunt.

“I’m coming; I’m coming. Just give me a bloody minute.” He shouted while opening up the door.

Sunburst stood there looking at him for a second, though it was clear he wasn’t trying to look Dusk in the eye.

“Oh hey, Sunburst, um, is there something you need?” He wasn’t sure what to say to the guy; the teenager looked more awkward than before,

“Oh, um, I was wondering if I could come in for a minute; I wanted to talk to you about something.” He spoke calmly, though Dusk watched him for a good minute; he had a bad feeling about this. Like something was off about the kid.

“Um, sure, I guess, but what do you want to know?” Dusk wasn’t sure; somehow imagined he knew about the house’s brothel. In many ways, he wasn’t sure if it would be a good idea even to let this kid become a customer; sure, he was an adult. But his mother and the fact they were neighbors.

“We can talk over here if that’s ok.”

“It shouldn’t take long, Mr. Light.” Dusk found himself stumped for a second before reminding himself that was the name he gave them when he first moved in.

“Oh yeah, um, come in. Just wipe your feet.” He turned around and headed right inside.

“Hey, is there something burning?” Sunburst was the first one to notice it, as Dusk's head perked right up,

“Shit, wait right here, alright? I got to get that.” Dusk returned to the kitchen, remembering he had left the bacon and sausage on the stove. Dusk grunted as he pulled the pan away and looked at the burnt bacon and sausage.

“Fuck, Well, at least nothing caught on fire.” He grunted, reminding himself of someone he knew from high school who accidentally set his house on fire. Dusk let out a long sigh as he put the pan in the sink, imagining he could cook something later.

“I better get back out there and figure out what the kid wants.”

Dusk jogged back to the front room, where he saw that Sunburst was gone. He let out a sigh,

“Kid must have gotten embarrassed and ran off. Oh well, Come on, eggy.” Dusk turned towards his desk, and It was when he realized something. Ember's egg was gone.

“Oh shit… Oh, SHIT!” He found himself screaming as he ran to the front door; looking around and seeing that Sunburst was gone, he ran towards the phone and called out to Celestia,

“Celestia, answer the fucking phone!” Dusk’s heart Stopped. He felt like he had just died there; if anything happened to that Egg, he could never forgive himself.

“Dusk, is there something wrong?” He turned around seeing Celestia was already there, as he grabbed her by the collar of her shit,

“Yeah, someone stole Ember’s Egg; I think it’s that kid Sunburst!” He felt himself shaking Celestia, the panic in his voice growing by the second. His heart seemed to start back up as he could hear the pounding like cannonballs being shot while Celestia grabbed Dusk, giving him a firm slap,

“Calm it down, Dusk, it’ll be ok; we can fix this before Ember finds out,” Celestia spoke, clearly annoyed but knowing that if she panicked, it would end badly for them,

“How do you know it was even Sunburst?

“He was here, he wanted to talk about something, and some food was burning, so I had to take care of it; when I returned, they both were gone, and… Embers was going to kill me!” Dusk took deep breaths, knowing this was bad, but his heart went out to the egg, his baby!

“Why would I kill you?” Dusk found his butt tense up right than hearing Ember's voice.

“Oh… Ember, the reason why.” Dusk found his heart pounding but knew he needed to tell her there was no way to get around it. So, he decided to be completely honest.

Dusk told Ember what had just happened as she watched the expression on her face. The Dragons face entirely red. There was a rage that Dusk hadn’t seen since the first time they met, as he found every survival instinct telling him to duck and cover.

Dusk jumped under a desk as he watched a pure white fire as she screamed to the heavens.

“WHO STOLE MY BABY!”

-000-

Sunburst ran through the yards, his heart racing as he gripped the giant red stone; somehow, it felt light in his hand as he ran right into his house, shutting the door behind him in a loud slam. He didn’t have time to respond to his mother's cries of not doing that as he ran to his room.

He had to hide it, Just long enough for The man in white to bring him what he needed, but a part of Sunburst’s mind knew what he did was wrong; he could hear how it shamed him.

Sunburst, sat there looking at the egg for the longest time, wondering if he had made the right choice. Was it worth it?

-000-

“Where is my baby!” Ember screamed, the fire in her eyes as she grabbed Dusk by the seams of his shirt. It looked like, at any second, she was going to set him ablaze. Set the whole world ablaze at this point.

“Listen, we’ll get our baby back, and I think I know who has him,” Dusk said, choosing his words carefully while watching his Mate. The anger on her face only seemed to grow by the second.

“Ember calms down. We will find your child!” Celestia called out as she realized Ember was about to take on her more dragon form. Knowing this would not be good, Ember didn’t care.

“I want my baby now! Where are they so I can burn their life down!” She growled, her body enlarging as she started taking on her more monstrous form, her eyes on the door as she ran at it, soon screaming,

“MINE!”

The doors broke open as she ran out, taking on the giant beast. Dusk watched as he ran towards the door,

“Who took the egg, Dusk? We need to find Ember's egg. Otherwise, she might burn down the entire town!” Celestia grabbed his hand while Dusk nodded.

“I’ll drive,” Dusk said as they began running out the door, the sight of Ember flying in the air. Dusk has to admit it was majestic, utterly beautiful…. Then she started setting fire down the road, and Dusk knew they would need to do something.

Dusk ran into the garage, passing Spitfire. The Dullahan, cursing as Dusk, started to rev the engine while the garage opened.

“Do you know where Sunburst even is?”

“Nope, but I’m sure I know where his mom is.”

Celestia buckled up, though she found it funny that they were going to this kid's mom, but whatever it took to stop the Dragon's rage.

Dusk hit the petal to the metal, watching Ember flying in circles, lighting the fields on fire as she roared. Dusk grunted as he headed down the street, reminding himself where Stellar Flame lived.

“Alright there!” Dusk found himself hitting the pedal, causing his car to go faster. He let out a loud grunt, bounding in the air while they landed in Stellar Flames yard. Dusk jumped out of the car and ran to the front door. Slamming his fist into the door, screaming out,

“Stellar Flame, open the door!” He turned around, seeing Ember fly right towards them, Only causing Dusk to slam harder when the door opened.

“Oh, Dusk, is there something wrong?” Stellar Flame was wearing a t-shirt and not cleaned up as she held a dustbin.

“Where’s your son? I don’t have time to argue, but he is in danger if you don’t tell me where he is right now!” Dusk was speaking faster than he could help it as he looked at the older black woman, who snorted

“My Sunburst, please, he’s a good boy; he wouldn’t do anything bad. Besides, he’s in his room. Sunburst!” Stellar Flame called out, though Dusk pushed her off to the side, running into the house; Stellar Flame screamed,

“What do you think you’re doing!” Stellar Flame screamed as the man she barely knew ran into the house and to the back room. She watched then as a blond woman she didn’t know came in,

“Listen, better you let us get back there. Otherwise, the whole town might be turned into a crisp. “

“What could by boy have done that could warrant this? I need to call Hank. Maybe we can talk this through.”

“Listen, lady, and your kid fucked up; now Bada’s going to need to clean up the mess. You need to teach the kid discipline.” Gabby appeared, her demonic horns sticking up as the short stack looked towards Stellar Flame, who watched her for a few seconds and screamed in horror.

“Begone Satan, you are not welcomed in my home!” Stellar Flame screamed while pulling out the cross around her neck, the stunning fear on her face while Gabby watched her, almost annoyed,

“Listen, first of those tricks only work on Vampires; I’m not Satan, My names Gabby, I’m an Imp, and you’re kid stole a dragon egg from our home.” She was ready to walk back while Stellar Flame, more shocked, tried stopping the Imp.

“I will not let you hurt my child or steal his soul. Begone from this house. The Lord protects us!” She grabbed Gabby, who was shocked by being picked up like it was nothing.

“Wow, strong religious women, give her that, Bada; you're on your own!” Stellar Flame, looking furious, threw out what she imagined was the very devil himself. She called out as she found herself being slung out of Stellar Flame’s house like it was nothing.

She looked outside her door, seeing Gabby landing on the car Dusk had driven in, while she watched with annoyance. However, that was when she saw it. Landing down on the vehicle and crushing the top of it stood a giant reptile; the only thing she could describe this beast was none other than a dragon.

“Holy mother of Jesus! Sunburst, get your butt out here; there's a dragon!” She screamed while watching Dusk grab her son by the arms as she pulled him out from wherever he was hiding. On the other hand, a large sphere looked like an egg made of rubies.

“Sunburst, what did you do?”

“I—I did it for you,” Sunburst said while looking towards the egg, for a second finding himself not wanting to let go of egg.

“By stealing somethings, Baby! To steal from others! I raised you better!” Stellar Flame screamed more shocked, disappointed by what her son had done.

“I needed the money, and I never knew it was an egg; I mean, look at this thing. It's fricken huge!”

“It doesn’t matter; you have to give it back, She’s going to destroy the town, and The devil tried to come through our door!” She called out while pointing out. Dusk and Sunburst watched as it seemed like Gabby was trying to pull Ember's Tail but was being whipped around like a doll. They were whipping her around like it was nothing.

“I didn’t intend for this to happen; Blueblood said no one would get hurt, and he promised to pay me a good bit of money.” The young man said while looking back at the egg. His heart felt like it had stopped.

“Why would you do this for any money? You said it was for me; what could have even meant.”

“I didn’t get the scholarship, mom; I screwed up; I don’t have anything for college.”

“Honey, what about the savings you had from your one job? Or come to us, we could have—” Stellar Flame was suddenly interrupted by Dusk,

“Listen! We can speak about this when my Dragon wife is not burning down the neighborhood!” He reached over, grabbed the egg from Sunburst, and ran right towards Ember.

“Ember, baby! We’ve got them back! Please cool down!” Dusk waved the egg around, trying his best to get her attention.

“Where is the thief!” Ember roared clearly; she was out for blood. Her eyes were on Dusk as she saw him holding her baby, though she looked to the house, ready to attack.

“No, Ember, you will not attack him; we have our baby!” Dusk watched the Dragon growl harder, her fangs showing as she looked at the house. Dusk could watch the smoke coming out of her nose as she looked like she was going to take place, and everyone in there was out with a single breath.

“Ember, don’t stop this!” He called out, trying to think of something to help fix this. That’s when he heard a cracking sound. It was coming from around his arms. As he looked down, seeing the egg twitching

“Ember! Something is happening to the egg!” That caught the Dragones's attention as she looked down. Her eyes widened as she exclaimed,

“It’s hatching! Our Baby’s hatching!” Ember started turning back to normal, distracted by this; she reached over and grabbed the egg from Dusk as she began to blow more fire onto the egg, her eyes on it with the intensity only a mother had as she set the egg ablaze.

Dusk watched as the egg cracked and started crumbling. His heart raced, not sure how to feel. It seemed like fear, horror, and excitement while watching what Ember was doing.

The egg started shattering, while Dusk watched, shocked, as he saw the small lizard in Ember, hand its body beginning to morph and transform; as he called out,

“What's happening.” He wanted to run in there, but even he imagined his fire resistance couldn’t stand this heat. Gabby grabbed his side,

“Bada, we’re watching a dragon birth; no one has ever seen one for a thousand years!” She was shocked while holding onto Dusk as they watched Ember, the fire slowly going out as she let out a long roar.

Dusk covered his eyes, not sure what even to think. That’s when he heard the faint sounds of screaming. It wasn’t Ember; it was the crying of a child. Dusk slowly opened his eyes as he looked over, seeing Ember on her hands and knees, smiling as she was holding a small naked child. The screaming from the baby, as Ember looked at him, that soft face, as she looked utterly spent.

“Would you like to see her?” She spoke, the voice calming down as she held the child.

“A she?” Dusk muttered, getting in closer, feeling Ember carefully handing the baby over to him. He looked at the baby, finding it beautiful; sure, it was covered in goo, but it screamed in his hands; he watched it kicking and moving its arm while it yelled. It was a girl.

Then he saw the dragon features on her, long spikes running down her arms, and even her head; somehow, with the reddish look, she looked like a rose; his heart fluttered, realizing this was his child. His baby.

“What… What should we call her.” There, he realized he was not prepared; he had to prepare for everything.

Ember let out a long sigh as she fell to her knee, worn out; every ounce of energy zapped away. “I’ll let you name her; I’m just gonna.”

It was there the Dragon fell lying there for a minute, as Celestia ran over, grabbing her,

“What the what happened?” She stopped for a minute as she looked over seeing Dusk holding the Dragon child. “Oh, Nevermind; come on, we better get her in the house.” She reached over, picking Ember up with a long grunt while she looked back at the young man holding his child.

“Are you ok, Dusk… Is it too much?”

I need a minute, that’s all. Ember wants me to name her.” Looking down at the nameless Dragon, he shuddered, and then a name came. Looking towards it, he spoke softly.

“Hi there, Little Spines.”
