Sequels
The sequel to the story is called 'The Spread of Darkness ', the second in a trilogy. Unlike the first story, The Spread of Darkness isn't solely based on the third-person perspective of Spike, but views other perspectives as well, such as the Princesses, Twilight and the Gryphon (Griffin) King. An OC is also introduced into the sequel known as the Angel of Death.

The third story in the Trilogy is based solely around the perspective of Spike's daughter, Dawn, who has to overcome anger-management issues fueled by bullying from her classmates.
