Not part of the Darkness Trilogy or a Sparity ship

It’s been Several years since the degradation of the Elements of Harmony. After news broke out that the Elements were no longer functional, chaos the likes of which would bring tears of joy to Discord’s eyes broke out throughout the surrounding lands of Equestria. Celestia had asked the dragons for aid and Spike had gone to join in the war effort, leaving his friends and family behind to protect them.
Now he’s back, sporting injuries and scars that will never heal no matter how much time he has. Spike survived the most horrific war imaginable to come back to his family, but the price seems too steep for Twilight and the others.
