Celestia’s sun slowly lowered in the horizon, and no signs showed the return of Twilight and the others. While this didn’t please Spike; it didn’t break his heart either. The little dragon needed some alone time, or at best what he could get for alone time thanks to his new visitor. Right next to the entrance laid the black dragon simply known as Damien who eyed Spike intently and would simply grin every time spike looked in his direction.

Spike replayed event after event up to the current moment, which left him with many unanswered question and only one way to get them.

“Alright, enough is enough Damien!” The purple dragon said as he took a deep breath and stepped over to the larger and more composed dragon. “Who…what are you? I may not have met many dragons in my life, but the ones I did could not do a fraction of the things you can!”

“Hatchling, how many dragons have you actually met, and I mean really sat and traded tales of old with? Wait, I’ll answer it for you…NONE! Only dragons you spoke with were either casteless dragons like your friend on there in the forest who was willing to devour a homeless hatchling for touching his hoard, and other hatchlings like yourself who couldn’t teach you the true caste system of our kind if they tried.” The black drakes lifted his head and started to stare down the young dragon.

“That may be true but… that doesn’t explain who….” Before he could finish the black drake started violently shake and shiver as if something was attacking him from within. At a closer inspection he could see that the drake was slowly fading away piece by piece and was taking the area around him with him.

“Spike….” A soft voice echoed through the slowly vanishing room.

“…Not again!” Spike responded, this time finding himself in another empty void.

“We are finally through; we don’t know how but Damien has been blocking our connections with you.” A golden dragon said as her body took form within the void next to Spike. She was as tall as the mountain just outside of Ponyville. “Young one, you are no longer amongst ponies, so please don’t feel you must conceal your true form around me.” She said with a smile that felt almost motherly. Spike simply started at the dragoness dumb founded before looking at his claws and searching his body. Within seconds he turned his gaze back to the dragoness unknowing in how to respond.

“Oh, that is right; you’ve only been able to trigger it through Damien’s misleading guidance.” The dragoness chuckled and placed one claw over Spike, and with that she proceeded to raise it. This caused his body to physically grow back into the dragon of greed form. “There you go hatchling, such a beautiful one you are too. Now I’m afraid that all the pleasantries must be put aside for now because we have much to discuss and I don’t know how long I can keep Damien surpassed. Now, let us introduce ourselves; I am Eirene of Valtheerin blood and it is a pleasure to finally speak with you Spike of Valtheerin blood.” Eirene lowered her head as intent to bow to the drake. “It is only formal that you return the bow young one.”

Even at his greatest height, Spike still only came to the Eirene’s underbelly, the purple dragon lowered his head and introduced himself in the manner she just did before.

“Now hatchling before you asking questions let me finish speaking…. I am like Damien of Valtheerin; one of your Ancestor dragons. The most important thing to a dragon is their blood; no matter what happens, or how alone you may be physically. Thousands of your ancestor’s spirits live with you through your blood. You were never meant to walk these trials alone; greed, lust, and so on… We were supposed to be with you every step of the way offering you guidance, but up until a moment ago you finally answered our call to you.” The golden dragoness started passing back and forth as if she was trying to formulate everything she was trying to say before she said it.

No, not another crazy dragon! Why is this happening to me all of a sudden? Spike though, just to have his words play around him in stereo.

“C..crazy dragon? Please hatchling I would advise you from refrain from such thoughts! Not all of your bloodline is as Damien is; he lost it when Father Valtheerin refused to; no, that is not important right you. What is important is you catching up on knowledge you have missed for just about 100% of your life. I know Damien of Valtheerin has explained the enlightenment age of dragons to you, but he has barely explained your trials, and who you really are…. That is what I am here to do!” The dragoness said as she stopped and faced Spike with a fierce and passionate flame burning in her eyes.

Twilight paced back and forth in her room at Canterlot castle trying to process everything she learned earlier today.

“Twilight darlin’ would ya’ll please calm down; I mean between you and Rarity my nerves are being wrecked just by watching you two.” Applejack said as she steps in Twilights path hoping to get to her.

“Sorry Aj, it is just thi… wait what are Pinkie and Rainbow doing?” Twilight said pointing her hoof in two mare’s direction.

“Look like she’s back, you owe me 10 big ones Pinkie Pie!” Pinkie wore a Fedora hat on her head and tilted a bit to the side while in her hooves was a black book.

“Nope the bet wasn’t who would come back first, but who would lose it first!” She responded as she looked in the book. “And since you voted Twilight, this means Rarity takes the lead!” Rarity laid on her panic couch in one of the worse panic attacks they have ever seen.

“Sugarcube, they are just being them. Now relax, everything will be alright Twilight.” Applejack assured the purple mare by placing one of her hooves on Twilight’s shoulder.

“Thank you Applejack, but I think I need to speak with the princess again… There is still something I need to ask her.” Twilight gave a smile and a nod before making her way to the door.

“Twilight, darling wait, allow me to come with you; I too have some questions that I originally couldn’t ask.” Rarity said as she shook herself out of the panic mode and made her way to the purple mare’s side.

Twilight simply responded in a light nod before stepping out and making their way to Celestia’s private chambers. The walk felt long and awkward for the two mares as neither one spoke, and even did their best to avoid looking at each other.

“Rarity, I’m sorry…” The violet mare said as she lowered her head.

“F…for what darling?” Rarity simply asked.

“For kissing Spike.” Twilight still couldn’t look in the grey mare’s direction.

“Darling… a simple kiss is harmless….”

“No… It wasn’t just a harmless kiss! That is only how I described it because everypony was around. The real kiss was… well I didn’t know Spike knew how to things like he did with his tongue…” Twilight walking got slower as she continued talking.

“Um, Twilight!” Rarity said, she had stopped walking and simply stared at the Unicorn who was now in front of her.

“A…and worst of all… I enjoyed it. The feel of his tongue, the grip of his claws, his…his sheer dominance over me… I…” Before the violet unicorn could finish what she was saying; he walked horn first into the princess who was standing next to discord listening to every word she said.

“Didja now laddy?” Discorded responded as he folded his arms and cocked one eyebrow into the air.

“I…I…I… “ Twilight’s face turned crimson red as the two god figures stood before her.

“We were coming to speak with you; well more Rarity. There was more Discord had to say to her and it seems there is more you have to say to me; my most faithful student.” Celestia said as she lowered her head and gently tapped Twilight on the head with her snout before giving her a smile.

“M..more to tell?” Rarity said with an unease look on her face.

“Yes, but this is not the place to speak of such subjects, please join me in my chambers.” Celestia said as she opened the door that stood behind her.

“When…when did we get here? Twilight asked?

“You two have been here since the beginning of your apology.” Celestia replied.

“Anyways, I believed this question needed not be asked, but my sweet wanted me to tell bring everything to you two. So, Rarity have you mated with Spike?” Discord said bluntly after Celestia closed the door behind them.

“E..excuse you?” Rarity simply replied with a deep red blush on her face.

“Simple question; say or no and believe me I wouldn’t want to know unless it was important. So again I ask; have you mated with Spike?” Discord said bluntly again.

“Y..yes…” Rarity said in a low voice.

“Oh dear, Rarity you might want to sit down for what you are about to hear next.” Celestia said as she walked next to the purple mane mare with a pillow levitating next to her.

“Why, what is the meaning of this princess?” Discord and Celestia looked at each other before looked back at the mare.

“It may be best if you tell her.” Discord said to Celestia.

“Rarity… A dragons….seed is much…much potent then a stallion’s seed. It has to be as their mates are usually dragoness; who take several sessions before they lay their eggs. To a mare a dragon seed is very overpowering…. Do you get where I am going with this?” Celestia said as she watched Rarity fall onto her plot.

“You can’t be, but he’s a baby dragon is he not? He may be older by our standards. But, a baby dragon shouldn’t be able to produce offspring!” Rarity said with her voice breaking up.

“The term baby for dragons is not the same for ponies remember. A dragon newly hatched from its egg is capable of producing off springs. Baby for us is just a notion of time and not a cycle of life. If I have to be literal the baby phase ends when we leave our eggs, but saying that just dumb downs the complexity that is a dragons growth. The fact that he is even facing his bloodline’s spirit of lust right now is more than enough evidence that he is capable of reproducing. That is how other dragons will view this situation anyways.” Discord replied as he messes with his claws.

“I…I still can’t believe what I am hearing… You also said you didn’t want to tell me this, but why?” Rarity asked only as a distraction to avoid going into another panic mode.

“Simple, first thing is first, Spike must overcome him current trial or you will only be the first of many; unless Celestia has trained her military to slay fallen dragons in this current era.” Discord said looking at the ruling Alicorn.

“No, since…well you know…. Dragons have kept to themselves with no attentions of attacking or going to war with us. So I stopped dragon slaying training a long time ago to avoid having one hot shot stallion wanting a chance to put what he learned to use and causing a major war again.” Celestia said as her gaze turned to the Draconequus.

“Wait… Again?” Twilight said looking puzzled.

“ I see, there are any things you do not share with your subjects Celestia, and I wonder just how far deep in ignorance do you keep them.” Discord said with a small chuckle.

“That is enough Discord, that is a subject for a later date, and our only concern right now is for Spike!” Celestia said in a stern voice.

“Oh, I love you when get commanding! Do it again, and this time really put some fire into it!” Discord chucked harder.

“Please, can we get back to the subject of Spike, and my pregnancy? Now let’s just say I am pregnant; then what?” Rarity slowly placed her arms over her belly.

“Honestly, you could be opening the door for dragons and ponies to once again interact after many millennia of separation from each other.” Celestia continued to gaze at Discord as if expecting something.

“There goes that….again…..again.” Twilight simply replied as Discord chuckled even harder.

“If anything dragons will want to know his bloodline, so Spike will need to learn it or both he and the child will be shunned as casteless.” Discord said as he floated closer to Celestia.

“C..casteless… No, that must not….will not happen!” Rarity stomped her hoof on the ground as she stood up holding her head high.

“Well you seem to have come to terms with this very fast.” Twilight said gently with a sigh.

“…I guess I am getting a bit ahead of myself. I still don’t know if I am yet.” Rarity said with a small giggle.

“Yet?” Everyone in the room said in unison.

“W..well umm, not like I’m going to just go and try to get…. I mean me and Spike are still…. Anyways if I may ask, Discord since you speak as if you too are a dragon; what is your bloodlines name?” Rarity said trying to change the subject.

“I am to dragons; as an Alicorn is to you ponies, so yes I am a dragon even if I not the same as a drake or wyvern. As far as my bloodline goes, it has been many millennia since I last spoke its name, or communicated with my bloodkin. But, my bloodline is that of The Dragon Father Valtheerin.”


Author's Note

I swear, 100% this was not the original direction I meant to go with this... I'm referring to the second half of course. It came to me actually today...and I liked the idea ,so I tried to work it in. There has be actually less rape in this fic then I originally attended to o.O

Edit:
I usually reread all my chapters 3-4 times after they come out... for some reason the spelling mistakes got to me worse in this one then any other, so this is the first and only chapter I tried to fix some.
