A Dragon's Journey

by Abramus5250
When he becomes of age, Spike sets out on a mission given to him by the princesses: to get married. But, as usual, he gets more than he bargained: so much more. Tons of worldbuilding abounds in this story, along with clop and other fun stuff.

Spike, upon graduating from Luna's personal tutelage after coming of age, is sent out on a duty to explore the world and catalog it for Equestria. Places, ponies, goods and trade: it falls to him to expand the knowledge of the outside world and make it accessible for the average citizen. So he sets out on this grand adventure of exploration full of confidence, save for one feature. According the princesses, and by default a newly-revealed royal decree, he must return to Equestria married. Even more astounding, he must return with more than one wife, so as to complete his herd. Oh boy...
