Reversed Roles

Normally dragons are very harsh, territorial creatures. It is not often that they are welcoming to outsiders. But when I found that abandoned foal...well...something inside me changed. Against the other dragons wishes, I raised the little pony as my own. She's only a baby pony, but she has great magic inside of her, I feel. Perhaps I can teach her the magic of the dragons. For now, I am content to watch over her - my little Twilight.


This was an idea I had, about what it would be if Twilight and Spike's roles were reversed - what if Twilight was the one abandoned, with no knowledge of her past, and taken in by a young Spike? Now not so young. Maybe something happened in Canterlot that led to Twilight being abandoned in the Badlands...it could be great fanfiction material, eh? XD

All in all I really like how this turned out. I need to paint dragons more often. I draw them all the time in my sketchbook, but for some reason I don't paint them as often.
