I am happy to be finally able to share with you my open secret: in my universe Twilight Sparkle is Spike’s biological parent.

I have borrowed an idea of external fertilization from amphibians and mixed it with the canon of dragons laying eggs and the popular trope that dragons are not just oversized, flying reptiles, but also creatures of magic, so their hatching would naturally involve it.

This follows my headcanon from earlier pages, that dragons are to some degree magic resistant, making it extremely difficult for an egg to be hatched in the first place. For non-dragons, only Element of Magic could release enough power to do so -- but that in turn diluted Spike’s draconic heritage and reduced this ability - as we know from the canon. (The reason why this is important will be, hopefully, addressed in Act III.)

Well, there you have it. This mini arc ends on the next page - and then we are going back to unfinished business of shipping - and more.

One thing I'm confused about. Whose genes are in the egg? Is is the birth mother, the father, and the fire mother? Or something else?
