Not long after Twilight and her friends formed the Council of Friendship, Twilight's life-long partner and assistant, Spike, finds himself increasingly estranged from her and the rest of his pony friends.

Amidst Spike's dilemma and struggle to find his place, strange recurring nightmares cause him to question his origin and identity.

Little does Spike know that those nightmares are merely the preface for events that could tear apart the world and himself.

Will Spike be able to remain true to his friends and himself, even when he discovers the dark secret behind his origin?

This story is just an idea that popped into my head and refused to let go.

It is an exploration of my head-canon as to Spike's history, and its possible (if somewhat exaggerated) outcomes.

I still have no idea where I'm going with this, but I hope you'll all enjoy it nonetheless!
