“Are you sure these birds know where they are going?” The blue Pegasus asked as she flew just over the group.

“Y…yes, they said they saw a purple dragon in these very woods for the last two days. He did leave the area he was in; he just stood there burning their homes.” The yellow Pegasus responded meekly.

“Burning their homes…that doesn’t sound like Spike sugar cube….” The orange earth pony responded as she ran with the others.

“Oh, and my little Spikey Wikey, not only missing our breakfast date, but disappearing for two days straight is?” Rarity responded while trying to hide the panic in her voice.

“Ok, you have a point, but still.. This is the Everfree forest after all, and I don’t think the animals here would just sit back as another burned their home down. Not to mention, there hasn’t been any sign of smoke since we started this search yesterday.” Applejack replied.

“Girls, we will find out as soon as we get there.” Twilight said in a worried voice.

“W..we are here…” Fluttershy squeaked as the stepped into a large clearing that had green flames spread out everywhere.

The where was completely scorched with the tallest thing there being the girls themselves, and a little purple dragon standing in the center where the flames seemed to be at their strongest…

“SPIKE!” The six yelled out. Rarity broke from the group and rushed to the dragon with tears of joy running down her face.

“Darling, you are alright! I was so wor….” Before she could finish, the mare tripped and fell down onto her side with her eyes slowly closing. I small chuckle escaped Spikes mouth as his crimson eyes focused onto the other five mares who rushed to Rarity’s side, just to follow her lead until only Twilight was left standing.

“Spike… What is going on here, why are you out here, and where have you been?” Twilight asked with a stutter as she tried to take a step forward just to realize she couldn’t move. “Answer me, Spike… You’re star…..” As she spoke, Spike pointed as single talon at the mare causing her to stop mid-sentence.

“That is much better, strange days have found us Twilight.” He said as he made his way forward to the group of girls that lay on the ground. “How will you deal with them I wonder…” He stopped just in front of Pinkie pie, staring down at her, and finally kneeling down and rolling the pink mare onto her back. “But no matter how you choose to deal with it; make no mistakes about this one simple fact. The dragon that you use to know is no more.” He said as he pushed the mare’s hind legs apart and slowly started to traverse the lips of her marehood with a single talon.

Pinkie Pie’s lips parted, releasing soft pants as his gentle touched started to become more aggressive. Within a matter of second, two talons were piercing into the depths of her and turning her soft panting into moans. Twilight tried to open her mouth to protest, but as she attempted to open her mouth; something felt completely different.

“Trying to speak? That must be hard to do without a mouth.” Spike said with a chuckle as he pulled his talons from within Pinkie Pie. A small pillar of flames rose up in front of Twilight, the flame flattened itself into a thin reflective surface revealing to the mare that her mother was missing and only her snout remained.

“Twilight, I will keep this short and sweet, almost as sweet as Pinkie’s juices.” He said while licking his talons and making his way to the mare that was sin disbelief of her current situation. “I have no doubt you have learned of my handy work with Diamond Tiara, how is that filly doing anyways, never mind it doesn’t matter. My next treat will be Lotus and Aloe, and oh the things I will do to them.” He said as he pressed his snout against Twilight’s and giving her a gentle nuzzle. Spike then wrapped a single around her, and used is free claw to wrap Twilights fore legs around his neck.

“Oh can’t to see and hear it Twilight, the fun I will have with them?” The drake’s eyes glowed a eerie green while his claws travelled along her sides and resting on her plot. “Oh yes, the fun that the three of us will have indeed….” He whispered into her ear, which was followed by the sounds of the two spa ponies begging for Spike to stop. “Tell me, do you think they are screamers, criers, or both? They aren’t Rarity or yourself, both who would simply let me take you.” His voice overpowered the two mare’s cries in Twilight’s ears just before her started to nibble on its edge.

Throughout the whole scene, Twilight could feel multiple emotions clashing at once, from arousal caused by the drake, too far and worry of what he may do to the others. By the time he was nibbling on her ear, arousal was starting to overtake the other emotions she felt, but she didn’t understand why.

“You are too easy Twilight….” Spike said as he stopped nibbling and started to chuckle. “Now join the others,” with his words the mare’s eyelids grew heavier until finally they closed completely and she was fully leaning onto him for support.

“How was that?” He said, as he looked own at her.

“You are getting stronger hatchling, from the very start you maintained complete control and didn’t waver, only after two days of practice. I am thoroughly impressed. “Damien responded, his voice seemed to echo from the green flames that consumed the area.

“Now tell me, what else I can do.” Spike asked, laying Twilight gently down on the ground.

“One step at a time Hatchling, you maybe proficient with the hypnotic flame, but you haven’t mastered it yet. You were able to play with the sense of these feral beast and some ponies that are arguable brain dead.” The black drake stopped, gazing over at Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy before continuing, “But, you would not be able to play with the sense of another dragon or a creature that doesn’t rely on the first five. Let us say, the sun for instance, she is capable of using her magic a sensory and against how you are right now; you wouldn’t stand a chance. Needless to say, against another dragon you would have to be a master of the flame for it to even be useful. Dragons have many more senses then just; Sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. But, that is a lesson for another day hatchling.” The drake said, stopping just behind Spike.

Spike took a single step back, as the green flames started to move towards the two dragons, swirling around them and engulfing them completely. When the flames finally cleared, the dragons were gone and the area had returned to its original state, undisturbed with the exception of the sleeping ponies that were now randomly lying in a beautiful bed of Irises.

“Um, Twilight…. Twilight wake up.” Applejack’s voice could be hard from beyond the darkness of the Unicorn’s closed eyes.

“Twilight Darling, I know it was a nice nap, we all had one, but it is in everyone’s best interest for you to wake up this every moment!” Rarity voice followed soon after Applejacks, but her voice carried more worry in it.

“HEY EGGHEAD, WAKE UP!” Rainbow Dash screamed causing Twilight’s eyes to show open.

“OK, I’M UP NOW WHAT Is…..it…..” The violet unicorn’s eyes stayed wide open as it didn’t take long for her to realize where she was and what stood just a few foot steps away from her.

“Hello dear, my name is Eirene of Valtheerin, and it is my pleasure to make your acquaintance.” The golden dragoness said, standing as tall as Celestia herself, but was now bowing her head politely to Twilight as she did the other five, each as they awoke before her.

“Um…Hello, I’m Twilight Sparkle…..I’m sorry didn’t know that this was your territory and we weren’t the ones who burnt everything down.” Twilight said hastefully as he returned the gesture. ‘’

“Mrs. Sparkle, while time is of the essence right now; this is not my territory and I would like to advise you to look around.” Eirene of Valtheerin spoke in a soft, calming voice.

Twilight lifted her head, to her surprise the forest was unharmed and the only oddities were the seven.

“Um, what is going on, I could swear that this whole area was in flames when we got h…wait what time is it?” She said quickly looking at the other girls who all shrugged, just as confused as she was.

“Not quite, but before I explain what is going on; can we go to your library and can you get the yellow one out of that tree? The second she saw me, she screamed at the top of her lunges and dashed off. I’m surprised the scream didn’t awaken you, but once she realized the others were here that Pegasus slowly crept back.” The golden dragoness stated.

“I got her.” Rainbow dash said as she was flying back, holding on tightly to a yellow Pegasus who was using all her power to try and get free.

“Great, now Mrs. Sparkle, will you teleport us or shall I?” The dragoness sat down one her plot, holding her head up high showing true pride in her demeanor.

“I’ll do it…I guess.” The violet unicorn took a deep breath before casting the spell. Within a flash, the seven sat in the main room of the library; Rarity, Sweetie Belle, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash stood next to Twilight, across from Eirene.

“Now, first things first… you six were trapped in a Draconic spell known as Hypnotic flames. Its main usage is manipulation and control over its target senses and you were caught but it the second you saw the green flames.” The dragoness stated.

“What?” The six mares said in unison.

“Yes, the fire itself is not real, physically it cannot hurt you, but, but mentally and emotionally it can devastate any creature not trained to combat it. The second you saw the fire, was the second you all were under Spike’s control.” The dragoness replied.

“Wait a minute back up, how does Spike know this? Better yet, who are you and what are you doing here?” Rainbow Dash said suspiciously, flying forward, showing the dragon that she help no fear.

“Rainbow Dash, don’t be rude to our guest dear, and she already told us who she is,” Rarity stated as she used her magic to pull the cyan Pegasus back.

“But, she does possess a point sugar cube, with the obvious exception up until now; our meetings with dragons have not been pleasant ones.” Applejack stated.

“As I’ve said, I am Eirene of Vatheerin, the first born of our bloodline and dragon guide through these trials, or I am supposed to be. Due to unforeseen circumstance, I was only recently able to contact Spike. Unfortunately for me, it was too late, while he overcame Mammon thanks to some help, Damien is much more powerful in achieving his goal.” She replied again.

“Ok, so you have to do with Spike’s trial…. And this Damien, he is the guardian of lust that Spike must overcome?” Twilight responded as she started to think back to the discussion she had with Discord.

“Yes, but how do you know?” The dragoness asked surprised.

“Oh, well this Draconic being that goes by the name of Discord told me. “ The violet mare replied.

“F..father? He told a non-Draconic….. does this mean father has lost faith in me, will my position be taken away? Will he…he put me back into an eggshell and force me to relearn all that I have learned in these thousands of years?” Eirene started to worry, as stood up and started to pace back and forward with fear in her eyes before finally stopping and facing the six. “No, my concern doesn’t matter at the moment. What is important right now is we give Spike a fighting chance, lust won the battle; but this war is far from over!”

The six mares simply crossed glances with each other before looking back at the dragoness.

“For, Spike, we will help you. Please tell us what we need to do to stop him! Wait, he told me he will be going after the spa twins next, we need to get to them fast!” Twilight said, before rushing to the door.

Author's Note

So, why did I have Damien teach Spike Illusion/Hypnosis magic instead of Quantum magic like he Damien, Eirene, and Discord? Because, Spike doesn't need to be at their level of power. Discord was the creator god who passed his magic onto his first race children. Which is why Damien and Eirene (mostly D right now) seems close to Discord in some of the things he has done magically. Will he learn Quantum and the other forms of dragon magic? That is my secret, mwahahahahaha!

Also, contest time! In this chapter I put a single line from a song in the dialogue, if you can tell me what song from what artist. I'll write your OC into one of the up coming chapters. If your OC is a female, I make no promises that Spike will not rape her though >.>

Based on what I have seen dealing with bronies, I have the up most confidence that no one will guess it XD. Also the song came out this year.
