Heartfire

Epilogue

Running.

Spikes legs had him run as fast as he can while dodging tree branches. He was being hunted. The lush dark green leaves of the EverFree forest covered his purple scales from sight.

Hiding behind a tree as he took a breath. Peeking out to see nothing but shadows. They were near he had to get away from them.

Running fast then he ever has before. He needed to get away before they catch him.

While Running he didn't see a log just laying down as he tripped over it. Falling into the dirt he quickly got up to back away.

He heard bushes moving as he closed his eyes. This was it. He was gonna die from these hunters.

But then he heard a small voice that made him happy.

"Found You, Daddy".

Spikes eye opened to see his son. The small dragon's scales were cyan just like his mothers. He also had green eyes and the tips of his wings were light green like his fathers.

Torch was his name. Ember decided to use the name ever since her Father passed a few years ago. Spike agreed even though Ember said he did not contribute a lot in her life.

She still loved him as a father.

Torch jumped up and tackled his father to the ground. "Oh no he's- to strong-uh" Spike pretended to struggle under the mercy of his Son.

Torch lifted his claws in a victory. "Yes, I beat dad". Torch's smile could rival Pinkie Pies.

"Yes, you did Torch" another voice from beings the two dragons.

"Mama" Torch jumped off his dad and hugged Ember. Embers hug was not awkward like it uses to be all those years ago. She was pretty much a professional by now.

"I lost you two for a sec, your good at hiding Spike. Just don't try and hide anything from me" Ember said with a little chuckle.

Spike rolled his eyes.

"Are we going home?" Torch asked with a sad look. Spike smiles as he looked around the forest. It was just near a path going to Ponyville.

"Actually Torch we are going to meet Auntie Twilight and Aunt Rarity. Climb on since your wings have not fully developed yet". Spike leans his head down as Torch climbs up and lays on his back

"Ember was it you making those Shadows?" As they flew Ember got closer to her favorites Drake's.

"Yes, it was. It was actually Torch's idea it was to make you scared". Spike and Ember smiled as Spike told his son how scared he made him.

Just over the forest was Ponyville. After all these years it still looked peaceful and calm. Yet above the simple buildings was Twilight's castle.

The castle of friendship shines with each crystal and gem on the outside. It was a short flight as they landed on the stairs leading to the large doors.

The doors open with a blue aura glow. A white marshmallow coat of fur with a purple mane. Rarity smiled as she went down the stairs to greet the dragons.

"Hello, darlings," Rarity said before she hugged Spike and Ember. Leaving the hug she used her magic and lifted Torch off the ground.

"And hello to you too little one". Rarity says as she brings Torch into a hug. The little dragon hugged her fur tightly as the magic stopped its humming.

The clouds soon became dark as thunderstorms rolled in. Ember looks up to feel a few drops of water hit her nose.

"Oh, the Pegasus never like to tell when they are gonna start the storm. Come you three I'm not gonna let you stay outside in the rain of course".
