Spike the dragon, the Crystal Savior as he was known as by the Crystal Empire slumbered in unrest as he tossed and turned on the couch. Dark, cruel dreams formed in his mind as he was consistently murdered again and again by his ‘friends’ the worst being his own mother, Celestia stabbing him in the chest with her own horn with a harsh grin before he ripped himself from her hollow horn and stumbled back, turning around to look directly into Luna’s eyes as she narrowed them and frowned.

“Have fun with your sins, reptile.” She spat emotionlessly before touching his forehead with a hoof and pushed him back as he fell and was swallowed by darkness, seeing nothing but Luna’s heartless glare as his vision faded.

Falling from a height that was immeasurable he slammed forcibly onto his own bed that rebounded and threw him onto the wooden floor of Golden Oaks Library as he groaned and flinch, expecting pain but felt none as he padded all over his body for any cuts, scrapes or scars, feeling none he stood off the ground and looked around.

It was silent, eerie and forbidding as the dragon breathed calmly through his nose and curled his claws, flexing his ear fins for any sign of sound before he heard soft weeping from what he assumed was downstairs, with a deep breath he walked slowly to the stairs that would lead him to his destination.

The entire library was empty of all items, books, chairs, tables, everything, save for a lone iliac mare that stood in the center of the living room which was cloaked in darkness, tears falling down her face as Spike came down from his descend and curiously stepped towards the unicorn, confused on what was going on.

“T…Twilight? Is….is that you?” He whispered as the weeping suddenly stopped and a cruel chuckle emitted from the Element of Magic’s mouth.

“The reptile comes to mock me….comes to return to the sin he had committed, have you not, Crystal Savior?” Twilight Sparkle breathed slowly, as blood begun to drip down the sides of her face as unusual black mist poured from her mouth to wrap firmly around the drake who wrestled to break free from them, succeeding for an instant before they bounded around his throat as he was forced to use his fire to dissolve them.

“What happened to you, Twi? Where am I and what happened to that-?”

“All I wanted was love from you…unconditional, pure and honest love….I prayed to Cadence, to Celestia, to Luna, even to Discord and Chrysails to just have you give me your heart and yet, even then….I was cast away, just like Pinkie Pie, what are we to you, Spike?” she asked calmly, ignoring the blood pooling onto the floor as Spike closed his eyes, wishing she would not ask such questions and that this dream would end.

“You’re…..not the one I love Twilight, I’m sorry but I swear-”

“Do your words speak true, or are they lies covered in sweet, fuzzy, bucking warmth….is this fetish for you, dragon? After all I have done for you, all the love I had to offer you, you turn your back on me….on our child, are you proud of yourself…..father to be?” she spat, her words causing another swarm of black mist to pour out her mouth which Spike blew away with his flames, starting to get annoyed.

“Twilight, I DO love you, but not in the romantic sense, not in the way you would imagine or dream, I’m sorry, I give you my word, listen to me. Please…I’m trying to help, I swear, listen to me, please….LISTEN TO ME!” he screamed as he briskly walked towards her and grabbed her firmly by the shoulders, looking at her face to face before jumping back in shock, for she had no eyes. She lit her horn with inner magic and in rage forced his entire body back, slamming him into the ground without a second thought.

“Do not touch me, you scaled beast!” she screamed as he groaned and slowly stood up, holding his now injured left hip which stayed for a second before disappearing as he glared at her.

“What…what the buck are you? Where is Twilight Sparkle?!” he roared, green flames spewing from his mouth as the being smiled darkly.

“Princess Luna, praise her name, formed me to teach you a lesson, Crystal Savior. I’m the alternate version of what would have happened if Twilight Sparkle committed suicide, two years ago. Wanting to tear her own eyes out to rid herself of seeing her own demons, but she changed her mind at the last second and opted to slit her own throat….you are nothing but a selfish mortal dragon set on his ways to injure the poor, broken hearted mare with every step you take, even now she thinks of taking her own life.

But she has a child to birth and rise, even if the father is not there…you are simply pathetic to just leave her to herself, with a child to love and care for, even now-” The dark form of Twilight spoke before pausing in her words to perk her ears to their full height and tilted her head, as if hearing an unknown, silent voice making Spike growl and curl his claws about to injure the dark thought of the mare who loved him before she chuckled darkly.

“It seems you have caught the attention of another, reptile. You have an audience with a Goddess, Spike. Just know that that are hated by Princess Luna and myself, you disgust me, dragon, you are not an honorable dragon of your species….you are merely a joke.” She smirked darkly and flicked her tail, disappearing in a flash of purple light leaving the male to himself.

“Another Goddess, has my mother chosen to give me another chance? What the buck did that bitch mean? I need answers, NOW!” He screamed into the air that echoed his rage and his environment instantly vanished before his eyes as he fell again, landing hard onto white colored marble stone of a floor as he stood up, dusting his scales off as he saw a sight he would have never expected in a thousand years of his lifetime.

Cadence, officially Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and the Crystal Princess, the Goddess of Love as she was known among the mortal ponies and her own kingdom, the Crystal Empire sat on the throne of the former ruler, King Sombra and was alone in the castle she resided in as she had her eyes narrowed in anger before they briefly flashed pure pink then reverted back to their original color, heated air exhaled from her nostrils as her mouth was made into what seemed like a permanent and angered frown as she closed her eyes and laughed darkly.

“You have no idea how much it cost to make Luna give up her….amusement with you from her own realm, drake, but it is worth far more than your own soul, I guarantee it. I must admit, using an alternate form of Twilight to torture you, very impressive….but that is nothing compared to what I shall do to you, reptile.” She lashed in rage making Spike take a step back in fear from her cruel tone.

“C….Cadence, I, I don’t understand, why would you-”

“Open your eyes, heart breaker. Did you not think I, the Goddess of Love herself would not know what had been transpiring these past few days. Do you know how many times Twilight, bless the poor mare’s heart, prayed to me over and over again to be noticed by you…..YOU!!!” she screamed in outrage, her iris becoming pure pink as her miniature Royal We sent a shock wave that blew Spike off his feet and making him land with his tail over his head as he lifted it out of the way to look clearly at the immortal Alicorn.

“Cadence, please try to understand, what happened-”

“Don’t you DARE try to make excuses to me as you did your friends and own mother, dragon, I know the encompassing of romance and the tragedy that comes from it. Believe it or not, centuries ago theaters were made in my honor, right next to my temple, before it was destroyed in a war….but you know nothing of my past, nor shall you, mortal.” Her words were cruel, sending an icy chill through Spike’s spine as he shivered then stood from the ground, taking a deep breath.

“You can’t let what happened to that bastard husband of yours affect my own life though, the Gods have turned their gaze from me, Luna and my mother told me so themselves, for you to want an audience with me-”

“I know what the ancient laws decreed, you snake! I was there when they were created, even if I was only a filly. You have no right to speak to me of things you do not understand, to mock me of…shit that is not for your ears, reptile. What happened to Shining Armor was something that I did not expect and I have paid the price for my actions…but your sins are your own, Spike.” She whispered her voice harsh as Spike remembered what had happened three years ago.

He was told Shining Armor and a platoon of his soldiers from the Crystal Empire was sent to Zebrican to make peace with the different territories in the foreign country for the new kingdom, but they underestimated a tribe in the East and got caught up in the middle of a war between two long standing rivals, Shining Armor’s soldiers were killed instantly as Armor himself was dragged and tortured cruelly by one of the tribes for information that he had on Equestria and the Crystal Empire, before being hung in public view.

When Cadence learned of this from Discord who was visiting the Gods of the Zebras, she was furious and without hesitation she, in her godly rage, annihilated an entire section of the country, intent on showing the mortals the pain she was overwhelmed by emotionally and physically.

But she had forgotten the price of ruining the lives she had in her rage and that she had caught the attention of the country’s Gods, after the destruction of countless mortals lives she then was met by the Goddess of Earth who was outraged, the dispute ended in a battle never meant for mortal eyes and they fought for three days straight.

Bloodied, battered and exhausted, Cadence killed the Earth Goddess with her own horn stabbed deep into her chest, the result made not only the other Gods of Zebrican angered beyond belief but Celestia and Luna filled with rage as well, as many tribes from the neighboring country formed themselves an army to avenge their Goddess and declare war on the Crystal Empire.

Celestia refused to help her niece and watched in horror as the darkest most harshest war in all of creation took place on Crystal Empire soil, thousands of lives were lost from both sides and to make matters worse for the army of the newly reappeared ponies, their Goddess had not given them her blessing, she had turned away from the massacre she had caused and showed no emotion as her subjects were slaughtered.

After two years the war ended and the Crystal Empire was almost barren, losing its former glory and brilliance it once held all because of a Goddess’s wrath, all of Cadence’s family, the other immortals and mortal family she once had, those still alive disowned her, even Chrysails, her former rival and the Goddess of Illusions felt pity for her but wanted nothing to do with the Crystal Princess, the Goddess of Love was now known as nothing but a monster, and even she could never free herself of her sins.

Her subjects feared her, but even though they despised her, she was still the one they prayed to as she held their kingdom in her hooves and could not let her fade from lack of mortal faith, no matter how much they wished they could.

Once, a year after the war and the kingdom had begun to rebuild their fallen country, a stallion gained an audience with his Princess, despite his mate’s wishes and option, even after the stallion argued with his mate; he still ignored him and went to talk with the Princess.

He wanted for the two to be married, and for Cadence to give them her blessing, and even though she had nothing personally against two stallions wanting to be wedded, she still felt raw, emotional wounds open up in her heart and with a turn of her head and snort of her nostrils, denied the poor stallion his request.

The stallion was outraged, he visibly screamed harsh language towards the mare and called her an awful immortal, going so far to call her a bitch even, but the worse insult was to her former husband and it made her snap.

Furious, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza ordered the stallion hung in public view, just as her mate was which caused the mortals below her to have a very violent outbreak of revolt towards her. A large coward formed, demanding that Cadence pay her dues for the horror she has caused, without hesitation, she lit her horn and burned them all to ashes while they still lived, she then declared that if she is to ever to be opposed again, the kingdom will never rise from its ashes, for it will be destroyed.

So now in the present day, the once beloved Alicorn of love was feared, not once respected by her subjects, she was shunned by all, even Twilight Sparkle but prayed to by her because she could find no other Goddess of Love, the other prayers she was given to keep her from fading were demanded or were forced by threats of death, the darkest and cruelest Goddess in all of history was now not Nightmare Moon nor Chrysails, but Princess Cadence, the Goddess of Love herself.

Spike the dragon curled his claws as he remembered tales of so many innocent lives lost, how he had heard and been told by his own mother to never even mention Cadence’s name again, how the monster of an immortal was now forcing her subjects to build a temple in her name, no doubt to relive her glory days, she was not nor will she ever be the Cadence, Spike known growing up. She was a Goddess in her dark state, just as Luna and Discord had once been; only difference is the Crystal Princess seemed to appreciate the fact that she was feared and hated now that her mate was gone.

He had remembered the cries and letters from the Crystal Empire from the ponies there, begging him to free them from her slavery, Spike once felt the need to stand up and aid the ponies who gave him his title and the country he help liberate, but then he felt reality crash down on his head as he was reminded by Celestia herself…..he is a mortal, even though he was a dragon who lived for thousands of years, he could not fight Cadence to the death without the aid of a God and live, it was suicide.

Even after asking for aid in his fight to Luna, Discord and Chrysails, in which he hated to even bring up her name, he was turned away by them, and given very harsh laughter by Discord who found it hilarious that he would even try to fight an immortal. Celestia did not support him for she did not have the heart to kill her own niece, even after all the suffering she had caused.

Spike once asked Twilight and her friends to help him free the ponies, but even after facing two Gods and an army themselves, they did not wish to push their luck for they knew they would not win and encasing Cadence in stone would do nothing to improve her attitude, it was a lost cause, and they all knew it.

So Spike had one more sin, that of guilt to stain his scales and knew it would haunt him for the rest of his days, for the Crystal Savior….could not save his own ponies from their Goddess, as much as he tried.

Spike gritted his fangs looking upon the Alicorn that caused so much distress and ruin over one simple pony, he had no clue what she wanted from him, but he would be damned if he did not try to ask or rather demand it from her.

“Why did you bring me here? After so many other ponies pray to you and want your Tartarus cursed blessing with their own lives? I LOVE Pinkie Pie, but what I did with Twilight was a mistake, you can’t hold that against me!” He shouted, angered that he would be judged for one simple night of passion with his best friend.

“You think I brought you here to redeem you of your sins? Ha, no reptile, no I brought you here to simply give you a choice, one you seem to have difficulty making on your own, you scaled bastard. So…you shall choose now or so help me I will rip your spiritual and physical body apart myself and suffer the consequences later as the result of my actions……CHOOSE, CRYSTAL SAVIOR, THE ELEMENT OF LAUGHTER OR MAGIC?!”

“What does it matter to you anyway? You can’t do anything since the Gods turned their gaze from me!” He shouted in rage, green flames spewing from his mouth as her eyes alighted pure pink, exploding in rage she slammed her fore hooves on the armrest of her throne, unleashing an ungodly amount of force into her explosion that was aimed directly at Spike who screamed, closing his eyes and praying his mother forgave him bracing for impact, knowing his spiritual body would be torn to shreds and no doubt his physical body would be caused pain he never dreamed before opening his eyes to feel nothing.

He looked before him to see Discord holding out his lion paw to absorb the blow; the Draconequus grinned a dark smile as Spike relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Discord, why have you intervened in as private affair? Answer me, now.” Cadence spat in disgust as the God of Chaos and Disharmony merely chuckled with a roll of his eyes.

“Oh come now my dark little demon of love, use your intelligence for a moment and think, you never allowed the poor scaled child here to answer, you should know what would happen if you ‘accidently’ killed Celestia’s little….pet. Do you honestly think she would let you kill her child? She loves Spike more than her own sister, he is her son. She would kill you without thought if you were to slay him, even if you are her niece, she has ignored your little…temper tantrum so far, but this…..ha, she would burn your kingdom to ashes if you laid one hoof on poor little bastard Scales over here.” He laughed before summoning a familiar red couch out of thin air, the very couch that belonged to Rarity; Spike noticed and rested his body on it.

Cadence seethed in anger, gritting her teeth as hard as she could before opening her mouth to speak “I grow impatient, Discord, Twilight’s love for him is enormous, even now it is still strong, despite her injuries she has gained fighting Pinkie Pie for his betrayal.” She said calmly with a snort of heated air from her nostrils.

“Wait, what?! Twilight is in the hospital, what happened to Pinkie Pie?!” Spike questioned, not even noticing that Discord placed his eagle talon of a limb on his chest to stop his movement.

But his answer was ignored as Discord scoffed and getting comfortable he summoned a tall glass of pink lemonade about to lift it to his lips to take a drink when Cadence shattered it with her magic, her eyes glowing pink with fury again.

“Pay attention you damned mutant, why are you here?! You have no right to enter into my realm, I had made a deal with Luna, and his soul is MINE!” She screamed as Discord only laughed.

“Soul? Please, Goddess of Love, his soul belongs to Death alone, we both know that, and I was never told I could not be invited unannounced to the…party.” He smirked as Cadence only rolled her eyes.

Spike was getting irritated, now not only was he being played with by Luna and Cadence but Discord to, this was more than enough for his liking.

“Hey, you two love bastards want to have your little love spat then leave me out of it, otherwise, someone tell me why I was bucking dragon napped?!” Spike screamed as both turned towards him in annoyance, Discord’s own eyes glowing pure red with godly power unknown to Spike.

“I would watch your tongue, reptile. Celestia may kill us if we were to rip your spine out but don’t think we still won’t tear out that split pink muscle you call a tongue from your throat!” Discord roared as he towered over Spike who only blinked with a deadpanned expression on his face.

“And I should be scared of you why?” He questioned calmly to the Draconequus whose mouth dropped opened in shock before his jaw literally fell to the floor and he had to reattach it as he wrapped the dragon around his tail, and screeched with his eyes once more glowing pure red.

“BECAUSE WE ARE GODS YOU WORTHLESS SACK OF SCALES, WE DEMAND RESPECT!” As Spike only smirked and yawned.

“So is my mother, what’s your point? Look, something happened with Twilight that I need to be in a physical state for, so are you going to let me go now to continue your little quarrel or-” his voice was interrupted as he was tossed over Discord’s shoulder to slam face first into the ground before the spirit looked at the Alicorn still seated on her throne.

“He makes a good point, Princess Pain in the Ass, maybe we should give him….options to his final decision?” Discord spoke slowly as Spike rubbed his snout even though he felt no pain and grimaced with an angered look at the God.

“I do not agree with the ‘we’ part, Discord, you are both in MY realm, so it is my choice, and yet…I am interested in what you have planned for the cheater.” Cadence spoke calmly as Discord winked at her and summoned a glass of red wine for the mare to quench her thirst as she only nodded in thanks before drinking from the glass and waiting for Discord’s ‘options’ as he made Rarity’s red couch vanish from sight with a snap of his tail.

“Don’t get your tail in a knot, Love Demon. Now Spike, I suggest you pay attention closely.” Discord whispered into the dragon’s left ear fin, his head detaching from his body to roll into his left eagle talon as the head continued to talk “Now, you shall truly learn of the two choices laid before you, Crystal Savior, for I am only going to tell you this once.” He chuckled darkly before his head rolled back onto his neck and he took a few steps back, forming two perfect pink replicas of both Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie, one in his lion paw and the other in his eagle talon.

Spike looked at both of them, memorized by the detail that the God had created from his outstretched limbs as Twilight turned to him, a loving, caring smile filled with warmth and honesty as she spoke, and her words breaking Spike’s heart.

“You turned your back on me, rejected our child like it was a Tartarus created monster and denied that our one night of passion was not the most magical night either of us has ever experienced and yet, even after all your harsh words and the lies you had spat towards other creatures, I still love you Spike, you’re my number one assistant, my noble dragon…my Crystal Savior. If not for me you would have never been hatched that’s true, but then again I would have never gained a best friend and never would have fallen in love, I love you, Spike. Despite your sins, why do you injure me with your cruel words of neglect? Why do I and our child mean so little to you when you allowed yourself to deny the love I offer you? Why even now do you try to crush my heart still, dragon?”
She whispered, tears of regret for her choice in a romantic partner trailing down her face as Spike closed his eyes, not understanding that these were prayers Cadence had collected from the unicorn, all rolled into one honest and heartfelt message for the dragon over the years.

His eyes switched from the eagle talon of Twilight’s portrait to the lion paw that was Pinkie Pie’s as he braced himself for her words.
“I’d admired you for so long; again and again I was never noticed because you were in love with a fashion designer who showed no romantic attraction to you, Celestia please; tell me why I’m never noticed by him? Does he still chase with his heart out towards Rarity even after four years? She’s my best friend but any pony can see that poor Spike only lusts after her, like a grown stallion only wanting to get his rocks off on a mare, a one night stand. It will fade, I know it will, I see the despair and anger in poor Spike’s eyes when Rarity talks of meeting the stallion of her dreams, I know it won’t last, but I fear Spike will do something desperate to get her attention, please….Celestia protect your son from heartbreak.

We spent the most intimate times with one another I had ever had the experience of living and I’m starting to help him break out of his shell, inch by inch, now if only I could keep him from smoking so much, that would be a miracle. Oh Gods, I can’t believe what I just been told by Spike himself, he betrayed me, with Twilight, can you believe that, Princess Celestia…with Twilight. He told me he did not love her, that…his eyes told the truth and yet, I could not associate myself with him anymore, I had given him everything…well, almost everything. Am I praying to the wrong Goddess? Should I even try to pretend like you or any of the Gods care for me? Buck this, I can’t take this emotional pain anymore, I think I hear a bottle calling my name, Spike never cared for me….he does not love me like I love him, it seems.”

Pinkamena Diane Pie’s words tore Spike’s heart out of his chest, he would have never once imagined her to be so…serious, so heartfelt in her words, that she had to pray to Celestia over and over to be noticed by him, it pained him that both mare’s thought so highly of him, as if…as if he was a God himself, it made him want to cry and scream in outrage at the same time.

Dropping to his knees , Spike covered his ear fins with his claws as if to drown out the voices of the honest mares words, which only made it worse when he realized it did not work, not for him, this was his fault, these were his sins, and it was time for him to face them like a real dragon.

“Pinkie Pie’s prayers were for Celestia, not you Discord, how in Equestria did you obtain them from her? Mortal prayers are only for the God the mortal prays to!” Cadence growled in annoyance as Discord laughed before winking, ignoring Spike completely.

“I siphoned them from her as she slept, even though she could not dream, she was a really heavy sleeper, I even got some of Fluttershy’s prayers meant for Luna when I got bored and wanted to see what she was up to, and I saw some…disturbing dreams that Chrysails paid Luna to have when I visited her, it was funny as hay. What some Gods do when they are bored, eh? So reptile, you found out how much of trash you honestly are, not only to us, but to the mares who love you. Therefore I’ll only ask you once….which of the ponies holds your heart, truthfully, the Element of Magic….or Laughter?” Discord asked seriously, turning his head to see the scaled teenager as he opened his eyes and thought carefully of his choice.

Spike really did not know who to go to, of whom would it benefit if he chose one over the other, of what drastic measures would each mare take if he picked favorites, yet. Even now he knew he could not deny the reasons of why he had to choose one mare over the next, it was only fair.

“What will happen if I chose Pinkie Pie?” Spike whispered as Discord grinned and closed his talon over Twilight’s image, showing Spike a future that was filled with a small version of himself and the Party Mare, how the two quickly went from one scene of romance to the next, before it went into marriage then of them having Kirin’s of their own and finally, when old and gray, he was standing at her bedside as she died peacefully, free from guilt as he heard that her last words to him were “I forgive you.” The real Spike felt a smile on his snout as he knew what Discord had shown him was the truth.

“What will happen to Twilight then?” He growled, knowing such a bright future could not be said for the mare would really love him, life was no fairy tale.

Discord sighed loudly as he closed his lion paw and opened up his eagle talon, showing how the future Twilight would live out her life.

He saw his best friend heavily pregnant, alone in her house as she cried herself to sleep which changed rapidly to the mare giving birth to their child, a male Spike heard her name Nightheart, who came out healthy, strong and with some powerful lungs, which then changed to the boy being a child and asking where his father was which brought a tear to her eyes as she lied to him, it then changed to their son being older, a grown teenager now, falling into his forsaken father’s habit of smoking and swearing before he and his mother got into a loud fight, ending with him screaming that she was a worthless, old pony who did not know how it felt to be a half breed.

He left out the door, never to return as Twilight wept, Spike then saw her getting heavily into drinking, drink after drink before puking blood one night, finding out next that her liver was dying, that she was dying, as she laid on her death bed with her son and friends even four of the Gods, Cadence herself even by her bedside she told her son the story of his father, how she once loved him and could never find love again, how he was not to search for him for he wanted nothing to do with either of them, how she wished she was given a more peaceful life, and then…she died in her son’s arms who cried, cursing his father’s name.

Spike curled his claws in rage; small green flames were snorted out his nose as he looked up to Discord whose face was emotionless.

“That’s not true, you’re bucking lying, Twilight would never turn to alcohol to dull her pain….the pain I caused her, she would have found love and…..and…you’re lying.” He growled as Discord narrowed his eyes, closing both limbs as his entire body glowed red with anger.

“I gotten these alternate versions of the future from Death himself, you want to argue with the very first creature ever formed on this world, then do so with him but don’t you dare question that I would ever make up something so serious, mortal. Twilight found no other lover because of you; you tore out her heart from her chest when you spat in her face.

And she gave birth to her child, raised him and lived her life, forgetting all about you until that fateful day when she turned to drinking to try to subside the agony YOU caused, boy. This is the true, take it as you will, but don’t ever raise your voice at me and call me a liar ever again or both of their lives shall play out in a dark form.” He roared before calming down as Spike’s eyes widen in horror.
“What do you mean dark form? What the buck will happen to Pinkie Pie if I chose Twilight?!” He screamed before closing his snout firmly with his claws as Discord scoffed with a roll of his eyes and opened his lion paw once more to show a realistic view of Pinkie Pie.

Spike saw how Pinkie Pie’s mane and tail deflated when he told her he had made his choice which changed to her slowly forgiving him before it went to her dating both mares and stallions, he saw her dating Big Macintosh, Carmel, Doctor Whooves, Lyra Heartstrings and even Vinyl Scratch, as it ended with her marrying Vinyl Scratch, the two happy for many years because they could both keep up with one another’s life style and never wanted to change the other as they adopted a colt, and lived their life as an honest family but all was not as it seemed as Pinkie’s descended very quickly.

Vinyl was caught bucking another mare in their own bed, five years after they were married it seemed to Spike, after her very large verbal fight with Pinkie she stormed out of the house, leaving her son and wife to themselves, the scene then changed to Vinyl being arrested for possession of drugs before it rapidly switched to her hoofing her horn ring to Pinkie Pie stating she wanted a divorce as Pinkie only came to visit her wife, right in front of their son.

A year or two later she lost her child due to Foal Services as she had to work so many hours and was never able to be there for her him, having to support them. She cried and cried herself to sleep for hours before finally, she got up, grabbed a bottle of white wine and drank the entire bottle, smashing it on the ground she made sure to step on the shards before she took a rope from her closet and tied it to a support beam above her, Pinkie Pie with nothing else to lose as her mane and tail were completely straight, hung herself, never once pausing in her actions or even bothering to leave a suicide note as her last words written in blood on a bathroom mirror were.

“Nopony cares about me.”.

Spike felt tears run down his face as he looked at Discord; his voice broke as he asked if this was really Pinkie’s path for him choosing another mare instead of her as Discord only nodded.

“It does not have to be her path though, Spike, neither one has to suffer such a dark fate. But you have to be careful in your words to them and in who you really chose, go after your heart, not what your hormones say, so chose, dragon.” Discord spoke quietly as he closed his paw again and turned, a lone tear running down his own face which he wiped away with his tail as Spike thought very calmly of the mare he would give his heart to, he could not make a mistake, and both of their lives depended on it.

“I…..I…I chose.” He could not make up his mind; it seemed both of their lives would end in tragedy no matter which he chose, why did life have to be so cruel as to send both of the mares into a grave all because of one simple mistake he made?

“I……..I chose-”

“Choose already, YOU SCALED BEAST!” Cadence screamed, obviously her dark state and impatience overriding her once caring and loving nature she once had as Discord only chucked and looked over to the distressed dragon without a word.

“I chose….Twilight.”

Author's Note

I'm a man of my word, here are the last chapters to Betrayal of a dragon, and say what will you about Alicorns but I always personally believed they were immortal, gods if you will just my opinion so if Cadence seems really OOC...then you'll know why, honestly hope you enjoyed this as I did, next two chapters coming in a second.
