A Strange New World

        She was overly focused. The book she was reading consumed every part of her mind. Everything else was tuned out. To her it was just her and the book. She wasn't much a fiction reader but she had enough time to see this one. And this story she had absolutely fallen in love with. The Life of Pi, a story about a young colt who survived a shipwreck with a Tiger. With each word she read she felt as if she was Pi himself! Pi was just about to attempt to tame the tiger when the Tiger turned around and urinated on Pi.

        She burst out Laughing at the thought then scolded herself "No, Twilight, Princess don't laugh at that!"

        "Oh good your finally out of that hypnotic trance, while you were here the other came, they're upstairs." Spike noticed her outburst.

        "Spike! Why didn't you tell me?" Twilight got a little annoyed at her assistant.

        "I did, three times," he replied with an annoyed look on his face "And Pinkie tried blowing a trumpet in your face."

        "Oh," was all Twilight could say "Well come on, I need draconic magic for the experiment." She announced as they made their way up the stairs.

        When she got to the second floor she could see Fluttershy, Rarity and Rainbow Dash talking about one thing or another, Applejack was admiring a certain painting and Pinkie was bouncing like a rubber ball.

       "Hiya Twilight! Why'd ya call us here? Are you having a party? It's a small party but we can still have fun! Don't worry I brought my party cannon just in case let me go get it!" Pinkie instantly noticed Twilight and bombarded her with words as how she usually greets ponies.

       "No Pinkie, it's not a party. I was studying the portal back in the Crystal empire and found something that might be a link between it and the Elements of harmony." I anounced.

       "If I may ask, what do you need the rest of us for, can't you just examine the elements from their display case?" Rarity asked.

       "Not exactly, you see I have a theory,"

       "Which we don't wanna hear. C'mon Twilight get to the good part!" Rainbow Dash interrupted.

       "Right," Twilight shot Rainbow a glare "Well I have this crystal bearing the same enchantment as the mirror portal in the Crystal Palace, if spike uses some draconic magic to keep it blast proof as well as levitating it in the middle of the room while we fire the elements at it, it should take the same affect as entering the portal."

       "Okay... well you better be careful Twilight, Ah sure don't wanna be turned into a monkey or what in the hay happened to you." Applejack was a little nervous.

       "Relax Applejack, I did turn back in the end," twilight reassured her friend "Spike if you will."

       Spike blew a little bit of breath into his hands, eventually settling into some green dust which he procedede to do the same with the crystal. Then he stepped back, as he raised his hands the crystal was raised as well. Then he snapped his fingers and the crystal lit on fire for a second and reverted to just hovering again.

        "Alright Twilight, she's all yours." The Dragon sat down to watch

        "Thank you Spike," Twilight readied herself "Ready girls?" The others nodded "Alright here we go!"

        The elements then lit up and shot a beam of light to the crystal. Everything seemed to be going as planned. Then sparks started coming from the crystal. Oh no, this shouldn't be happening! Twilight thought to herself. She tried to stop the elements but when she removed the power of them the crystal exploded and the seven inhabitants of that room vanished.

       -Meanwhile on Nirn-

        Twilight had woken up, having found herself lost in a field. No sight of her friends. She lifted up her hooves, yep still there. Now where was she? Off in the distance she could see a city. Maybe I'll go there, perhaps the girls are there. So twilight got up and prepared to fly. But seeing as she didnt lift off she tried again... and again... Afyer her fifth try she turned to inspect her wings.

        "Wha?!?!" She yelled in surprise "My wings! They're... they're... they're gone! Im a bucking unicorn again!" She yelled in annoyance this time "Well, I guess I'll have to walk..." She trailed off in an annoying tone, heading towards the city in the Distance.

        -In Skyrim-

        Applejack had awaken to the sound of wind. It was blowing though the fields of wheat that AJ was now laying in. She quickly took notice to the sky, as it was cloudy but warm and still a little bit of sun peaking out behind a cloud. She clearly remembered the weather for Ponyville was supposed to be no clouds whatsoever ever.

        "What in the hay," Applejack muttered "Hay Twilight," she waited with no answer "Gosh daren't none of them are here!" Applejack got up and observed her surroundings, she was on a farm, not to far off in the distance looked like a walled city with a castle "Maybe they've seen twilight..."

        So Applejack set off for the city

        -In southern Solstheim-

        Rarity was awaken by the feeling of sand or dirt in her fur "Ugh, I just took a bath this morning!" She yelled angrily. However her scream did not go unnoticed as she saw something spring up from the ground infront of her. When it fully emerged she recognized it as a pony, it's texture of fur looked similar to the dirt then it shot a glar at Rarity, with its glowing red eyes, absolut hatred flooding them.

        Rarity was struck with fear. She screamed the biggest high pitched scream she could muster which the pony had covered its ears to protect. Than Raraity ran, as fast as she could. Not a care for where her feet took her. Still screaming unto she smacked right into something solid and slipped back into unconsciousness.

        -Orsinium-

        Rainbow Dash awoken to the sounds of voices crowding her, she couldn't quite make them out but the for sure weren't her friends. Wen here vision focused she saw a small croud of mainly pale green pegasai.

        "What the hay are you all staring at?" Rainbow asked "Stop it your freaking me out!"

        "You are interesting, for an argonian to just appear out of nowhere into not only and Orc settlement but the Orcish home city," an older bearded pegasai started approaching her "You probably don't even know where you are."

        "What's it to ya?" RD replied.

        "Well I might be able to show you to your home, for a price" he grinned.

        "Really? How much cuz I only got..."

        "No, no," he interrupted "You will not pay with septems, rather a good hoof fight. I may be old but I am still strong!"

        -Gideon-

        Fluttershy awoke to a small colt poking her with a stick, he was a lim green pegasai. His cutie mark was a stick poking a pony corpse which didnt give Fluttershy a very good feeling.

        "Hay guys! The Kahjit is awake!" He hollered to some of his friends

        "I told you she wasn't dead! You always think they are!" Another one this time a darkr shade of green.

        Fluttershy was overwhelmed with the shyness of meeting somepony new and she began to cry.

        -Cyrodiil, just outside of the Imperial city-

        Pinkie awoke to the natural alarm clock in her brain that usually went off at the time to feed Pound and Pup cake. "Whoops! I guess I forgot to turn that off today! Wait... Twilight? AJ? Dashie?" Pinkie called out for her friends "Maybe Twilight's spell put them all in my body with me! Oh that makes sense!" Pinkie then began to pat her own head "It's okay Twilight I'll know what to do! What would twilight do?" Pinkie thought for a moment "Use her magic! Wait I don't have Unicorn magic, just Pinkie magic... BREAK THE FOURTHWALL!"

         Pinkie took a second and looked around realizing she couldn't find the fourth wall "CURSE YOU FOURTH WALLESS UNIVERSE!" She shouted to the sky "Okie dokie what else would twilight do?" Pinkie thought for another second "SHE WOULD READ A BOOK!!!" She looked around and saw a big city with a tower at the center. Maybe they have a book... Wow I'm really good at trying to be twilight! Pinkie thought to herself as she bounced to the city in the Distance.

         -High Hrothgar-

         There, laying next to the word wall was something Paarthunax thought he would ever see himself, there lie a small baby dragon with element purple scales. "Odahviing, go alert Scaleblade about this, I shall tell the other greybeards." The crimson dragon nodded and took off to the west "Come here young one, where did you come from?"

Getting used to things

        "Excuse me, sir... Um... Miss! I could use some help... Okay just ignore me too then... Um ma'am! I need... Oh my sweet Celestia these ponies are ignorant," Applejack was getting a little frustrated at the ponies of this city. Nopony in the city seemed to consider talking to her. The only reply was a blacksmith near the entrance to the city, all she did was say "Um..." So AJ decided to take her buisness to what looked like the town market. Nopony bothered to talk to talk to her then either.

        "Halt! You obviously haven't familiarized yourself with Whiterun law have you missy? Well it's a good thing somepony reported you to us, now what do you say we familiarize ourselves with the law in Dragonsreach dungeon!" A few armed ponies approached Applejack. They were earth ponies, looked as if they were slightly taller than Big Mac but with their armor Applejack couldn't even tell their genders (she new the one who spoke was a stallion)

        "Please sir, Ah'm lost and don't know where Ah am, Ah'm sorry for any laws Ah broke." Applejack backed away, terrified by these ponies sheer size.

        "I don't believe you understand, anypony who resists arrest, we have the right to kill..."

        "Whoa whoa whoa! Stop it!" A voice interrupted.

        The three ponies who approached Applejack all turned to see who came, it was a Stallion, he had a light gray fur coat with a dirty blonde mane, his tail was covered underneath his armor. His armor looked pretty thick, and heavy dwarfing the guards armor. His armor covered every part of his body except his face which had a few scars and a completely white blind eye. Atop his head sat a crown of some sorts.

        The three guards brought their right hooves to their chests "Governor General Scaleblade! We had no idea you were visiting the city!" The same guard spoke.

        "Well I was in to buy some gifts for my son Sundered Flesh's Birthday when I saw you harassing this poor young mare! I demand you hoof her over to me for the correct punishment." Scaleblade announced.

        "But sir..."

        Scaleblade interrupted him "You dare oppose Skyrims Governor General to Emporer Stormcloak? You dare oppose your highest ranking officer?" Scaleblade yelled in the most intimidating manor.

        "No sir!" All three guards spoke, Applejack certainly did here a feminine voice come from one of the three.

        "Good. Be on your way," With that the the three guards left "Follow me."

        "Um sir, please don't kill me," Applejack and with that Scaleblade burst out laughing "What? What's so darn funny?"

        "Kill you? The only law you broke was the one against nudity in public!" Scaleblade laughed a little more before stopping.

        "What? Nudity is outlawed? That's stupid! Ponies can't wear cloths all the time!" Applejack announce

        "Well I don't know where your from, unless you've been raised by Falmer, but that law has been in place ever since The first era. You know what forget it, I'm sure my wife could give you the history lesson. C'mon I have a small house in this city, just beside war maidens." He explained as the walked down the cobblestone road.

         -Raven Rock-

         Rarity awoke in a strange hall-like room. She was wearing a dirty dress of which she didnt remember wearing prior to falling unconscious. Her saddle bags were on the opposite end of the hall. She got up off the bed to retrieve them.

         The hall interior design was rather... Interesting as it seemd to be a large crescent shape with fireplaces in the wall every so often. The walls seemd to stretch up untill they met at the top at a sort of lopsided angle. Even with the few dozen Fireplaces the room was till pretty dark and most of the floor was covered in some sort of dirt.

         "Ah your awake! You are one tough little Girl! Running the speed you were straight into the town wall, your lucky nothing is broken and during your unconsciousness you survived an Ash Spawn attack! Few can say they've been through what you have," an armored stallion came around the corner.

         "I hope you don't mind me asking, but, where exactly are we?" Rarity asked

         "Raven Rock, Soltheim. Colony of the great house Redoran of Morrowind," the stallion seemd to be some sort of guard "Now, you don't have any major injuries, mainly just a few cuts and bruises so I think your good to go whenever you like."

         "Thank you." Rarity picked up her saddle bags and put them on. They seemed a tad heavier than before. They probably put some food in them. How generous. Rarity continued down the hall until she found the door.

         This was the only time Rarity actually notice the sky; It was a cloudy bright orange. She saw not a single plant in sight. This place was a wasteland. "What a dreadful place..." Rarity muttered to herself.

         "Need a place to stay? The Retching Netch has warm beds and cold drinks a plenty." Another guard explained to Rarity.

         "Thank you." Rarity continued down the street. Looking for said building.

         Rarity really admired the building architecture in this town. Not like anything she seen in Equestria. So interesting. Maybe if I have need to renovate the boutique i'll remodel it into something like this. Rarity thoguth to herself.

         Finally Rarity found the building she was looking for. The Retching Netch. Or as it said so on the sign hanging on the outside. So Rarity entered the building not really knowing what to expect.

         -Orsinium-

         It had been a long fight and nopony really knew who won, because for all they knew, both Rainbow Dash and the Elderly pony were down on the ground... Until Rainbow got up.

         "I've gotta hand it to ya. You sure do pack a punch. Here's two hundred septems." He handed Rainbow a bag of coins which she put in her saddle bag.

         Rainbow was quite impressed by the city, Everything she expected was where she expected it to be. If she build a city it would probably be somewhat identical. Awesome minds think alike. Rainbow chuckled.

         The Rainbow maned pegasus remained wandering the city until she found what looked like a smithy. The walls were decorated with different armor and weapon pieces. Rainbow watched as somepony walked up to the mare running the forge.

         "What do you have for heavy armor? I'm planning on making a trip to Markarth up in Skyrim and casual clothing and a sword probably won't do good against a troll." The stallion inquired.

         "Well I have some Orcish armor if you've got the septems to spend, Iron, cheap but not very sturdy or steel which isn't too expensive and protects you just enough." The mare explained to her customer.

         "I'll take a steel set," he said putting about 60 septems on the table "And what do you have in the way of bows?"

         "Don't have any out here but you could check inside," she announced. As the stallion walked into the smiths shop Rainbow decided to approach the smith "Yes? How can I help you?"

         "I'll take a steel set and..." Rainbow searched the walls. "That sword." Rainbow pointed a hoof to a  sword hung up on the wall.

         "Ah yes, a fire enchanted steel sword good choice. Now that all comes down to... 150 septems," the mare said. Rainbow laid the bag on the table. She watched as the smith dumped the contents on the table and effortlessly put fifty back in "Thank you have a nice day!"

         "You too!" Rainbow hollered back as she headed for the city exit. She didnt know why she needed this stuff but if that stallion needed it for leaving the city, Rainbow did too.

Applejack goes to Falkreath while Rarity gets drunk

        The last night, Scaleblade offered for Applejack to stay at breezehome. Now she had a good nights rest and was ready to go off seeking her friends. "Why it was mighty fine of y'all to let me stay at your house 'n all but I really should be off looking for my friends." Applejack said about to leave the house.

        "Wait, you say you lost your friends?" Scaleblade asked "Maybe we could help!"

        "Ah don't think Ah need any help. Thanks fer offering though." Applejack politely refused.

        "I insist! We were actually going to go down to falkreath anyways. Do you have a weapon to protect yourself from the dangers of the forest?" Scaleblade asked.

        "Dangers? What dangers?" Applejack asked.

        "Wolves are a big one. One day while tending to the garden a whole pack of them Attacked me." Fire Eye announced.

        "One day sabrecats came to the house in Falkreath and tried to rip my forelegs off. Luckily dad left his sanguine rose at home that day." Explained Sweet-Sword, Scaleblade and Fire Eye's daughter.

        "Bandits killed the neighbors." Was all Sundered Flesh could say.

        Applejack just stood there. This country was full of ways to die. Heck even the foals lived a kill or be killed type of life. It must be pretty darn dangerous. "Well, if y'all insist..."

        "You won't regret it! When we get to Lakeview we could probably get some weapons and armor for you!" Scaleblade announced.

        So the team left breezehome and set off for Lakeview Manor. Applejack closely noticed that Sweet-Sword wasnt actually carrying a weapon with her. "Excuse me, Sweetie? Ah was wondering why ya don't carry a sword with you." Applejack asked the ten year old.

        "Oh, because I like magic more than weapons, mama says that's the Dunmer that I get from her. The specific magic school im trained in is conjuration. I usually conjure Swords and other weapons though and Papa says that's my Nord side." She explained.

        "What about you? You look like you prefer solid weapons." Applejack now asked her twin brother, Sundered Flesh.

        "Magic is for sissies," his sister and parents all shot him a glare "I say all you need is a Greatsword and your set."

        "Why you asking miss Applejack?" Sweet-Sword asked.

        "Ah dunno. If Ah don't find mah friends soon I guess I'm gonna have to get something to protect me." Applejack explained.

        "Well I don't mean to brag but me and my wife consider ourselves experts on weapons, magic and self defense," Scaleblade started "If you plan to travel in a well armed group such as ours you'd probably be okay with just Destruction magic."

        "Conjuration if the group is a little less skilled than yourself," Fire Eye added "If your alone but do stop at villages to rest and such you'd want a weapon."

        "And if your gonna be away from civilization for long periods of time like a month or something, Enchanted Weapons plus any previously mentions magic should keep you alive." Scaleblade explained.

       "Uh, okay." Applejack said.

       "And if you can, try to learn a shout." Sweet announced

       "A what?" Applejack was just confused now, why would she need to learn how to shout she can perfectly shout now and secondly how would that help in a fight?

        "A dragon shout, you know something like Unrelenting Force," Applejack had know idea what Sweet-Sword was talking about now "meh you'll probably see it later."

        -The Retching Netch-

        "Oh... Oh boy I thi-think I had just a little *hic* a little too much to drink." Rarity said.

        "Well, are you going to pay now? We're closing in a few minutes." The bartender was obviously getting annoyed.

        But I do-don't have *hic* don't have any money, how's about I-I make you a very pretty *hic* Du-dress!" Rarity was drunk out of her mind and she didnt give a crap, probably because she was drunk. But when she said she had no money this irritated the bartender the most.

        "AND DON'T COME BACK YA HEAR?" The bartender kicked Raity out of the tavern. It was at least mid night and there were few guards out. Suddenly Rarity's attention was taken by the boats down at the dock. The boatponies are all in the bar, maybe I could sleep in a boat! Rarity your a smarticle. And with that thought in mind Rarity stumbled over to the docks. Nopony was there as the wind from the ocean was very strong and many people stayed indoors.

        As Rarity got on one boat she noticed something. There was a top tied to the boat. "A rope? Why is a rope for? Trixie... Wait I'm Rarity not Trickle... Ropes are g-gay *hic*" Rarity then proceeded to untie the rope "There, no mo-more gay ropes for me *hic*"

        Rarity then stumbled into the storage room of the small boat and fell asleep on a pile of hay. As the drunken mare fell asleep the boat began to drift ever so slowly away from the docks. The only thing noticing was a kitten on the docks watching as the boat drifted farther and farther away. It wasnt much longer until the boat was out of the kittens sight. So it began to lick its paw.

        -WinterHold the next Morning-

        Rarity woke to a horible headache and, cold? Maybe a cold spell to keep the inn's customers comfortable in the heat of Soltheim. Rarity seemed to like that thought but the cold was just a tad to much. When her vision came into focus she realized she must have been in the Inn cellar. Across from her she noticed a big fuzzy jacket. Putting it on she went up the stairs and opened the door.

        The sight that greeted her was surprizing. She was on a boat that was blanketed in snow washed up against the coast of a small town surrounded by tundra. "Oh I was drunk last night." Rarity just had to facehoof.

        She got off the boat and started making her way towards the town.

        -Riverwood-

        "Nice seeing you too Free Will!" Scaleblade waved to his friend as we left the small village.

        "Hun, I don't think I've ever met that stallion." Fire Eye mentioned to Scaleblade.

        "Oh he's a good ole friend of mine. He's the one that escaped Helgan with me," Scaleblade explained "Without his help that day I probably would have died, he also put a good word in for me when enlisting for the Stormcloaks."

        "Why don't you ever invite him over then? Or visit him?" Fire Eye asked.

        "I do visit him, have you ever wondered why are drinks and beds are always paid for at the Riverwood Inn?" Scaleblade replied.

        "Oh that's who he is? Well next time we are at..."

        Fire Eye was interrupted as twenty or so bandits jumped out of nowhere and surrounded the group. "Okay guys there's twenty of us and five of you, so your gonna do as we say. Hand over all your money, weapons... And that blondie you got." The bandit leader announced as he pointed a hoof to Applejack.

        "Hay miss Applejack," Sweet-Sword called out "Now you get to see what Unrelenting Force is." The little filly moved a meter away from the rest of the group facing the bandits. She then firmly planted her front hooves, then began to speak. "FUS RO DAH" Then a burst of what Applejack thought was a shout hurled towards the bandits, throwing them in its wake. Then a purple orb exploded in Sweets mouth materializing into a sword.

        All Applejack could do was watch twenty grown stallions get beaten by a ten year old filly. That girl is so overpowered. Applejack thought as Sweet-Sword took out the last of them.

Akatosh and Sheogorath

        Applejack and Scaleblade's family arrived at Lakeview manor. It was late, Scaleblade and Fire Eye were tucking Sundered Flesh and Sweet-Sword into bed. Applejack was sitting on the back porch looking at the two moons that decorated the sky. The way the lake reflected them almost perfectly.

        "Beautiful ain't it." Scaleblade commented, startling Applejack.

        "Whoa! You scared me!" Applejack replied, now turning to see Scaleblade. He wasn't wearing his regular outfit (save for his small crown), rather some blue robes. The robes had a very prominent red and gold pattern running down the front. In the middle of the pattern was what seemed to be a dragon in a diamond shape. "Where did ya get that? Looks fancy."

        "Off the dead body of the last Emporer. I got another one if you like it!" Scaleblade announced.

        "Um... No thanks," Applejack refused "So two moons? Ah must be pretty far from home then."

        "Hmmm... Well, I'm sure you'll get home someday," Scaleblade added "Until then your part of my crew!"

        "So when do Ah get..."

        A large shriek interrupted Applejack as it tore throughout the sky. "What was that?" Applejack asked worriedly. The sound plagued the air once more. "Scale," he just replied with a comforting smile. Then a huge quake knocked both Applejack and Scaleblade over.

        Applejack could feel and hear heavy breathing on her back. Slowly Applejack got up and turned around. She was greeted with a red, scaly face. "Mortal. I require a private audience with the Dovahkiin. Remove yourself." His voice was powerful.

        "Odahviing, it's okay Applejack is cool." Scaleblade said.

        "Right. When did you meet her?" Odahviing asked.

        "Two days ago." Scaleblade muttered.

        "That's what I thought. By Akatosh, I bet if you didn't know Alduin was evil you'd be his best friend in ten seconds flat," Odahviing added "Now Paarthunax may just be overreacting, but he thinks he found something that requires you to see."

        "Okay. I'll be there soon," Scaleblade announced as Odahviing left. He then opened his mouth to reveal the same sort of magical orb that Sweet uepsed to summon a sword the day before. "Alright Applejack, wanna go see what Paarthunax is crying about?"

        "Okay." Applejack watched as the orb move form his mouth to the deck. It expanded to about the size of the two. Then they entered the orb. When she did Applejack felt as light as air. But as soon as it started, she could feel her weight once more. Not long after did the orb dissipate into nothingness.

        Applejack was now in a small area, there was an odd wall to the left. It all seemed to be on a mountain top. There was one thing Applejack noticed imidiatly, a few meters in front of her was a small, purple scaled creature with a green under belly.

        "Spike?"

        -South of Bravil-

        Fluttershy had been traveling for quite a few days now. Her animal friends helped with gathering food and water for her, as well as get clothing for her as the nights were very cold. She didnt know why but she felt something in her mind telling her to go in this direction.

        The sun was about to set so she thought now would be a good time to set up camp. She set up her tent and crawled inside. She thought of how much she missed her friends as she fell asleep.

        -Fluttershy's Dream-

        Fluttershy appeared in the middle of the room. It seemed to be a palace of some sort. At the other end was an odd creature wearing clothing on most of his body. He seemed to be mostly hairless save for his mane. He was in Flutterhys dreams for the past couple of nights although they took place in different locations. However this on Eva's different, Fluttershyheard his voice.

        He was humming a very happy and uplifting song that sounded familiar but Flutterhsy couldn't place a name on it. It was beautiful but something about it made the man seem more devious. He knew something that might be able to help Fluttershy find her friends but what was it? What did he know?

        Like all past dreams of Flutterhsys he didn't seem to notice her even though they were the only two in the room. Fluttershy didn't like the feeling he was giving off. His knowledge that might help her, his red and purple clothing and his plain ignorance of being in her presence. Another creature entered the room, this one seemed to be a servant of some sort, handing a treat to the first creature without a word, then he left.

        He returned to humming the song again. Fluttershy still didn't reconize it. Then he opened his mouth and the very words of the song shocked Flutterhsy, she instantly remembered where she heard it.

        "Come on everypony, smile smile smile. Fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine. All I really need's a smile, smile, smile," he paused for a second to take a breath "FROM ALL THESE HAPPY FRIENDS OF MINE! Oh yes!"

        And with the end of his version of Pinkies song, Flutterhy was back in her tent. It seemed to be morning time as there was light shining through the fabric of the tent so Flutterhy undid the door flap and got out. Yawning and stretching, Flutterhys eyes weren't focused enough to see well. But when they did focus she went completely silent. There, a meter away from her was a tall hairless creature, with clothing colored red and purple.

        "HELOOOOOO FLUTTERHSY!" He hollered although he was right in her face.

        -High Hrothgar-

        Spike was just waking up. He felt as if he had been hit on the head with a boulder and fell asleep for a thousand years. He rubbed his eyes allowing them to focus. He saw four beins staring right at him. One he recognized imidiatly.

         "Applejack?" He was unsure of what happened, first he ws in the library now he's in some weird snowy place.

         "Spike! Oh Ah'm so darn happy Ah found you!" Applejack ran up to him bringin him in a tight hug.

         "What happened? Where are we?" He asked "Where are the rest of the girls?"

         "You, young Dovah, are in my den, atop High Hrothgar. As for what happened and where your friends are I am clueless." Paarthunax Stated.

         "Ah was sort of hoping you'd know where they are." Applejack announced.

         "Wait, so you two know each other?" Scaleblade asked, while being replied with two nods "Hah! What are the odds!"

         "What shall we do now?" Odahviing asked.

         "I shall teach this young Dovah in the way of the thu'um as he seems to... not understand. You must help the Dovahkiin and this mortal find their friends. They are the keys he sent us and must be present," Paarthunax explained as Applejack, Scaleblade and Odahviing took off "So Father, you wish to visit the mortal plane? So be it. After all I am not one to question the god of time."

Out with the old, In with the new

        "So, Dovahkiin. How do you expect to find the others?" Odahviing asked as they flew threw the sky.

        "I have no clue. However I may know who might know. Take us to WinterHold." Scaleblade explained.

        The three then corrected their coarse to head for WinterHold. The only one who wasn't enjoying this was Applejack. The farm-mare was clutching the dragons back as hard as she could while trying not to look down. It didnt take long until Scaleblade noticed it.

        "Applejack it's okay," he tried to comfort her "Good ole Odah here won't drop you."

        Listening to his words, Applejack opened her eyes. The view was breathtaking. Skyrim was beautiful. "Wow, this is amazin!"

        -Alinor-

        "Stormcloak spy! For your treachery and illigel entry of the independent country of Summerset Isles, you have been sentenced to death!" The Thalmor officer spoke "No longer will you Stormcloaks Invade our land, instead the Thalmor shall invade yours! To the Thalmorian Empire!"

        "To the Thalmor!" The croud chanted.

        "No please! I'm not a Stormcloak! I don't even like Stormcloaks! I hate them! To the Thalmor! see I'm with you! Don't kill me!" Twilight pleaded with the executioner

        "Liar! You Dunmer supported those filthy Nords as so as they said they would banish us from Tamriel!" He replied "Now you die!"

        With that, he swung his axe and all Twilight saw went to darkness. Complete and utter darkness.

        -Just a little south of Markarth-

        "Get off me!" Rainbow Dash yelled as she swung her sword again. She had been ambushed by a large group of earth ponies. "GO AWAY!" Swingin again but this time she did not hit where she wanted to. Instead if hitting his foreleg she accidentally hit a little higher and because of said mistake Rainbow had just beheaded him. The others just brushed it off as if they saw it happen everyday. Shocked, rainbow flew away heading north, continuing the path she was on.

        Eventually Rainbow made it to a city in the side of a mountain, Landing just a few meters away form the door. Somepony who looked like a guard approached her. "Hold it! Visitor protection tax, you must pay fifty septems before entering the city."

        "Oh yeah? What if I don't?" Rainbow Dash replied.

        "Then you can stay in Cidhna mine until the next time Governer General Scaleblade visits!" The guard explained, now more intimidating.

        Watch it RD, you already got in trouble when you asked those forsworn stallions where Markarth was. Rainbow Thought to herself "Alright, alright. Here's your damn septems." Rainbow handed the last of her coin over.

        "Thank you!" The guard said sarcastically "And have a nice day in the city of Markarth!" He opened the door for Rainbow.

        Rainbow was amazed with the city. By the looks as if it were actually cut out of the stone. Rainbow walked around admiring the stone work. Wow it must have taken whoever built this a long time. Thinking to herself once more. Rainbow Dash really liked the city, comparing it to the one from Daring Do and the City of Stone.

        "Admiring the city?" One stallion approached Rainbow "I always loved it too. That why I moved here from Riften on the opposite side of the country."

        "Yeah it looks like the city form that one Daring Do book." Rainbow replied.

        "Daring Do?" The dark green unicorn was puzzled "I don't beleive I've ever heard of that novel and I'm quite the adventure fiction fan myself."

        "Oh my gosh! You've never read it before?" Rainbow was shocked "Oh my gosh it's awsome! One time when..." Rainbow continued to talk with the stallion as they walked the streets of Markarth.

        -WinterHold-

        "You want to join the college?" The mare standing at the college entrance asked as Rarity nodded "Then show me you can by performing a simple Fireball spell on this plate."

        "I sorry? I am not very fond of this FireBall spell you speak of." Rarity said explained.

        "Here read this book," the mare said levitating a book out of her saddlebag handing it to Rarity "It has everything about the spell."

        "Thank you." Rarity said as she started to head for the inn to read her book. Rarity hated WinterHold. She wished she was still in Raven Rock. The Damn snow, the damn cold and the damn prejudice form the Earth ponies who call themselves nords.

       Rarity continued to walk down the path. Then she heard a faint sound. Was that a... Roar? It confused rarity quite a bit trying to figure it out. Then she heard it again slightly louder. It was most definatly a roar. Then Rarity could see something off to the south in the sky. It look as if it were heading for WinterHold.

       -A mile south of WinterHold-

       "I can see WinterHold!" Scaleblade announced.

       Odahviing slowly made his descent towards the small village. In no time they had landed on safe ground. Applejack was a little freaked out by one mare who seemed to be staring at Applejack. She had white fur and a cloak that covered most of her body save for her hooves. "What're you staring at?" Applejack asked.

       Then the mar spoke with a familiar voice "Applejack?" Instantaneously Applejack recognized her.

       "Rarity?"

       "Applejack!"

       "Rarity! Ah can't beleive Ah actually found ya!" Applejack ran up and hugged her friend.

       "Yes, we'll we can catch up later, it's getting dark." Rarity explained as Applejack and Scaleblade followed her into the inn.

       -Markarth-

       "...and that's why it's my favorite novel." The green unicorn said.

       "It still doesn't beat Daring Do!" Rainbow argued.

       "That may be true but I still haven't read it and you haven't read my favorite story so neither of us are in place to judge." He said.

       "True. It's getting late," Rainbow noticed "I'm going to have to go find a place to stay."

       "Oh you don't have a place to sleep? Please stay with me! I've got more than enough room!" The stallion insisted.

       "If you insist," rainbow agreed as they approached his house "You know, I don't think I got your name."

       "InvisibleScale, and yours?" He asked

       "Rainbow Dash" Rainbow explained as she stepped inside.

       -Lakeview Manor-

       SharpHoof stood outside of Lakeview manor. It had been an hour or so since the sunset and the two foals had gone inside. In his magic he held a few bottles of oil and a note form his boss.

       Kill the Governer General of Skyrim and his Family, he is a close friend of the Emporer and this shall show him that the Thalmor are not to be trifled with. He is often found at his residence in Falkreath known as Lakeview Manor. Burn it to the ground during the night while they are asleep. You shall be rewarded tremendously when you return to Summerset Isles.

       Syncerly,

       King BloodHoof III of Summerset Isles

       SharpHoof was a bigger back home and now he had a chance to become someone important. With that he began to poor the oil around the property.

       When he had finished he stood at the front door with flame magic in one hand "Damn you to Oblivion, Sir Scaleblade." He said as he lit the oil, instantly engulfing the mansion in flames. The screams of his family could be heard inside. Little did the Thalmor assassin know Scaleblade was in WinterHold.

       SharpHoof then brought up some of his most powerful magic to conjure a teleportal. It drained almost all of his magic reserves but he did it. Bringin him back to the throne Rome of the King.

       "Well?" BloodHoof spoke "Why have you returned to me?"

       "The Governer General of Skyrim is dead along with his family." SharpHoof announced.

       "Good, here is your reward," BloodHoof handed over 500,000 septems "You may leave, however if you'd like more i have another job for you..." He pause to grin.

The Kindness of Insanity

        "So how do you expect to find the others?" Rarity asked Scaleblade "It's not like there's some all knowing pony here in WinterHold, is there?"

        "Nope," Scaleblade announced "There's an all knowing scroll!"

        -The Shivering Isles-

        Twilight awoke in a strange room. Was this where ponies go to die? She continued down a hallway before entering what looked like a throne room. There Twilight instantly noticed one thing. In the middle of the rooms peaking with some hairless ape was a Pegasus. A Pegasus with yellow fur and a pink mane and tail.

        "Fluttershy?" Twilight hollered but as soon as the timid Pegagsu could turn around the humanoid figure flicked his fingers and with a poof Fluttershy was gone. Twilight's mind was swarming with millions of questions. It would only make sence to let them all out "Where am I? Am I dead? Is Fluttershy dead too? If not where are we? Wo are you? What are you? Where are the rest of my friends and how do I find them?" Twilight blurted out in a fashion similar to Pinkie Pie's.

        "WHOA! Couldya talk a little faster? That was a tiny bit too slow," he said mocking twilight. He seemed to have a Trottish accent "Lets start with names, You are Princess Twilight Sparkle of magic, student of Princess Celestia and Magical element of harmony, and I am? Oh wait that's what your trying to find out! You can all me Ann Marie, that is if your partial to being flayed alive and having your intestines used as a skipping rope by a mad immortal. If not then call me Sheogorath, Deadric Prince of Insanity."

        "I think I'll go with the second one." Twilight announced.

        "Good! Then I am Sheogorath, Deadric Prince of insanity at your service... Or more like your at mine!" He giggled with a sinister tone "The reason being I will help you, so long as you help me first. Now you may be thinking What does an Immortal god of insanity need help with? Well I'll show you!"

        -Bliss-

        Fluttershy had just randomly been teleported in the middle of a conversation. Then again such a thing was to be expected form her new friend and king. "Oh harrumph! Next time I see Ann Marie I'll tell him how RUUUUDE that was!" Fluttershy hollered in an insane tone. Fluttershy then looked to a clock that was spinning madly "Oh it's time for cheese! CHEESE!" Then she dashed off for the nearest hardware store to buy a statue of herself made from cheese.

       Twilight had watched the whole thing from inside a nearby building. "What did you do to Fluttershy?" Se said in shock.

       "It's not what I did however it is my work, it's what she did!" Sheogorath stated "You can save her however I'd say she's more enjoyable this way."

       "What? How do I save her? Is there a spell?" Twilight asked excitedly.

       "No, you see there is this magical staff. I call it the Cheese Poker but its more well known as the Wabbajack," for once the man spoke with seriousness "However I have no clue as to where it is, all I know is its here i the Shivering Isles. You see whenever it gets destroyed on Nirn like burning in a fire, eaten by a Horner or... Or THROWN INTO MOLTEN CHESE ON INTERNATIONAL CHEESE DAY! HAH! Well it makes its way back here, however it is in two separate peices; The Wibblyjack and the Wobblyjack. It get much easier once one is found. When one is found the other is easily in mind. Now go!"

       With that twilight was enveloped in a bright light and was gone.

       -Markarth-

       "And I never knew my parents. What about your family Rainbow Dash?" InvisibleScale asked "Judging by you they must be pretty incredible!"

       "Actually my only blood relative I knew was my father... He passed away when I was very young." Rainbows attitude imidiatly turned grim and depressed.

       "Oh I'm so sorry. You just looked like the type that would be married and I wondered if you had foals." Invisible apologized.

       "It's okay. I'm actually single with and adopted daughter back home." She explained with her tone a little happier.

       "Oh? And what's her name?" Invisible asked

       "Scootaloo, her parents died much the same way mine did." Rainbow lifted her hoof to wipe a tear away.

       "Oh. Well lets talk about happier things shall we?" InvisibleScalesaid with a smile "What do you like in terms of food?"

       -College of WinterHold-

       "What do you mean I can't borrow the scroll? I. The one who donated it to you!" Scale blade was furious, being denied the only thing to help AJ and Rarity find their friends.

       "Now you can't have it because its not here. Somepony checked out with it a week ago. She wore a big cloak so I couldn't see her face. She did say something about the Imperial City though, I'd check there if I were you." The Orc Pegagsus announced cowering behind his desk out of fear of what the Governer General could do to him.

       "Crap! Well were going back to Lakeview manor." Scaleblade announced walking out of the college.

       -Dementia-

       "Where is that damn..."

       Twilight was cut off by a familiar voice "YOOHOO! Looking for this?" Twilight turned to see Fluttershy holding the Wibblyjack in the air.

       "Fluttershy!i need that pass it here!" Twilight ran over to her friend only to be stopped by a hoof in her face.

       "Ah, ah, ah! If you want it, you gotta come get it!" Fluttershy then ran off. Twilight then levitated a boulder to stand on which when she stood on it she used it as a sort of flying vehicle.

       Twilight was getting close to Fluttershy. She was just inches away from grabbing the Wibblyjack. Almost... And... She got it! "Aw you win fair and square Twilight!" Fluttershy jumped onto Twilight's boulder "Now I'll help you find the other piece! Did Ann Marie give you a hint?" Fluttershy asked with cross eyes and the biggest toothy smile ever.

        "Uh yeah, he said when one is found the other is easily in mind," Twilight announced with an uneasy tone "But I don't know what it means."

        "Oh that's easy!" Fluttershy took the Wibblyjack from Twilight "Now this might hurt!" Fluttershy then proceeded to shove the Wibblyjack up Twilight's nose and in response Twilight yelped in pain "Oh don't worry! It's not that bad. I'll feel sorry when I'm sane but we have to do this!" Fluttershy then pulled it out now it had the rest of the Wabbajack.

         How did she... I'm not even going to ask. Twilight was completely boggled by how Fluttershy knew where it was "Okay hand it over Fluttershy," the insane pegasus handed the staff over to twilight "Now hold still..." With that Twilight shot Fluttershy in the face.

        -Lakeview manor-

        Odahviing had just landed near the ruins of Scaleblades house. "No... NONONONONONONONONO!" He screamed jumping off Scaleblade to inspect the damaged house "Fire Eye! Sweet-Sword! Sundered Flesh!" His gaze then came accross three burnt corpses. One large one shielding two smaller ones "Oh Stendars mercy no!" He ran towards the bodies "When I find out who did this..."

        Rarity interupted Scaleblade "Um there's a note here." Rarity handed it to Scaleblade

        It was simple. Most of the page had been taken up the Thalmorian Crest. Just below it lay a simple messege.

        "Down with the Stormcloaks! All hail BloodHoof III, king of Summerset and Emporer of the Thalmor! All hail the Thalmor!"

        "I'm going to make that BloodHoof suffer!" Scaleblade announced. His voice was full of hatred, vengeance and anger as he crumpled the note and burnt it in his hoof.

We're off to Whiterun! The wonderful city of Whiterun!

        -Bravil-

        Fluttershy awoke in a strange room. Twilight was asleep in a bed across the room. Flutterhsy didn't know what happened, all she could remember was going to sleep in her tent and waking up now. On the end of her bed was a rather simple dress.

        Not having the heart to wake Twilight up, Fluttershy quietly waited for twilight to wake up on her own.

        -Markarth-

        Rainbow woke up to the smell of a pancake breakfast. She quickly got her light armor on. She had heard it was illegal to be nude in public, which didnt make sence to her. Rarity probably made the law. RD chuckled as she went to the dining room.

        "Good morning, Would you like some pancakes?" Invisible asked. He seemed to be wearing some sort of hiking attire along with a steel dagger or two.

        "Sure!" Rainbow replied "Whats with the outfit? Going somewhere?"

        "I'm making a trip to Whiterun and the roads between Markarth and Whiterun are infested with old imperial loyalists," Invisiblescale explained " They pretty much attack anything they see now, like forsworn, but from Cyrodiil."

        "I'll come with you!" Rainbow Offered with out much consideration.

        "Oh. Are you sure that you can handle them?" Invisible questioned.

        Instantly Rainbows ego took over "What? You think I can't take those babies on? Here's a bet, 300 septems I can!"

        "Alright, I hope you can, otherwise I'm as good as dead going through there." Invisible stated "We can stop a night when we reach Rorikstead."

        -Imperial City-

        Two royal stormcloak guards and a mage, stood infront of the body of a Nordic Earth pony. He had a dark brown mane with a light tan coat. He wore blue robes the same shade as the guards armor with gold trim.

       "I can't beleive it, Emporer Stormcloak is dead." One guard finally announced in shock.

       "We must keep it a seceret. At least a seceret until a new emperor has been appointed," The Mage explained "You may forget but as the emporers personal Mage I hold a seat in the Elder council and when an emperor is not present the council takes full control. Now I need you two to send an invitation to the rest of the council."

        "What about that mare over there?" The other guard asked "She killed the him!"

        "One of the few things Emporer Stormcloak did before he died was replace the original Tamrielic set of laws with the Nordic set. As such, the Nordic set states that of the emperor has no heir, his killer takes his seat at the throne."

        Not wanting to argue further with the powerful Mage, one guard approached the mare "Hello, we don't want to hurt you. Come with us for a second."

        The mare nodded.

        -somewhere above the border between Cyrodiil and Skyrim-

        "So what are we doin in this Curodiil place?" Applejack asked "Don't we gotta gone get that all knowin scroll?"

        "Yeah yeah we'll do that," Scaleblade muttered in a tone suggesting he didnt pay full attention to Applejack "What I really want to do right now is get payback for what that so called king did to my family!"

        -High Hrothgar-

        Two Dragons stood atop the throat of the world. Paarthunax lifted his head and unfurled his wings. He then began to speak "Young spike. Your training is complete. You must now accompany the Dovahkiin on his quest to help your friends."

        Spike just nodded. He then used the become ethereal shout to jump the side of the mountain. It took about an hour but spike arrived in Whiterun. The young dragon slowly approached a carriage.

        The pony pulling the carriage looked scared for his life by the abnormally shaped thing approaching him "Where... Um... W-would you l-like to go?" He asked, fear bleeding into the air.

        "The Imperial city." Spike tried to say with a soft kind voice.

        "Hop on," And with that spike took a seat in the back of the carriage "I can take you to Bruma but your on your own from there."

        -Just outside the City of Markarth-

        "So who exactly are these old Imperial Loyalists?" Rainbow asked.

        "Well they're loyalists, of the old empire," Invisible chuckled "They are soldiers from the Imperial legion of the Septem Empire, the empire beforethe stormcloaks. They hate all of Tamriel for becoming so loyal to the Stormcloaks so they kill anything that moves."

        "Oh," Rainbow understood "Hay this could be like a Daring Do story! We're adventuring through the mountains as the Imperial Loyalists are chasing us! It could be fun!"

Rarity gets drunk... Again

        -Imperial City-

        Applejack, Rarity and Scale blade had made their way towards the white-gold tower. The city was extremely busy. Scaleblade noticed Sparkling Star, Emporers Stormcloaks personnel Mage. As usual he was looking upon what he called "Hte filthy rats of the city". The guy was mad for power and if Stomrcloak was to step down or resign, Sparkling Star would be. The first to beat anyone to the throne.

        "Ah, Governer General Scaleblade! I didn't expect you to get my letter so soon!" Sparkling hollered.

         "What letter?" Scaleblade didn't remember getting a letter recently "Well it probably doesn't matter, I need to speak with the Emporer."

         "Funny you mention that Governer General because he is what the letter is about," Sparkling announced with slight sadness in his voice "Come we'll speak of it inside the tower."

         "Okay. Applejack, Rarity, we can't let you guys in for security purposes so you can just explore the city." Scaleblade explained as he entered the white-gold tower.

         Rarity and Applejack just stood there. They knew the should probably go do something but they don't know what to do. "Applejack, I do beleive I am bored."

         "Me too Rare's."

         -West of Rorikstead-

         Rainbow was fending off a small group of imperial loyalists. There were only three and they only appeared when Rainbow and Invisible were about half a mile away from rorikstead. Rainbow managed to injure ones foreleg and he was limping now.

         "Die you Stormcloak scum!" Hollered one of the loyalists.

         "Get'em Rainbow!" Invisible continued to cheer her on.

         Rainbow slashed her sword as hard as she could, knocking the already injured loyalist unconcious she then focused onto the next stallion. He was better armored than the other two and slightly bigger so Rainbow knew he was going to be a tough one to get.

         "Hay little filly! Hehe!" His voice was low and sinister. It was intimidating.

         Rainbow took her sword and slashed it across his face. Scratching both eyes at which the grown stallion screamed like a filly.

         "Rainbow help!" Rainbow turned around to find the last loyalist attacking invisible.

         The loyalist must have been going at him for a while because there were tons of fresh cuts and bruises all up his legs and his jacket was torn. The loyalist took one final swing at Invisible and he was out cold.

         The loyalist then drew his sword into the air, getting ready to drop it on Invisibles neck. However Rainbow lunged towards his side with her sword out in front of her. Her sword peircing the loyalists stomach and poking a hole through the other side.

          Rainbow left the loyalist to make sure Invisible was still alive. As she ran up he showed no signs of consciousness but after a few seconds she realized he was breathing "Oh thank sweet Celestia!" Rainbow hollered at the sky "Alright were gonna get you some help."

          -Bravil-

          Twilight and Fluttershy had rented a room in the localinand were now sitting down to have lunch. Twilight had planned to travel north to the Imperial City. Maybe they would have better luck looking there.

         "So Fluttershy, there is a carriage willing to take us to the imperial city, but we need some sort of currency called a Septim. We could get a job at a cabbage farm outside the city." Twilight explained.

         "Okay," Fluttershy replied "I can't imagine what they are going through."

         -Imperial City-

         Rarity and Applejack were having a blast getting drunk in the local tavern. They would have scared all the other customers if they all werent drunk too.

         "Ya know Rarity? 'Hic' You my best friend and you... You 'hic' are a good pony to get drunk with!" Applejack stated to her friend.

         "Why Applejack, your not so 'hic' bad either 'hic' and now when I go get a sn-snack I'll get an apple 'hic' APPLES FOR THE WIN!" Rarity replied.

         "But only red apples, gosh darn green apples are for 'hic' Filly-foolers. Filly-foolers like... Uh... Like Applebloom!" Applejack took another swig of Nordic Mead "Damn that's strong stuff."

         Rarity got off her seat and stood up holding her beer cup in the air "Everypony! I'd like to make a toast! To alcohol! The cause of and solution to all life's problems!"

         All the ponies in the bar the replied with a loud "Yeah!" To which Rarity chugged the rest of her drink and fell over, followed by applejack.

        -White-Gold Tower-

        "So sparkling, when can I speak with Stomrcloak, I need his help with-"

        "Hes dead," sparkling interrupted Scaleblade "In the mean timewe have appointed a new empress, which Stormcloaks death will be revealed once she is ready to rule. I have called the entire Elder Council here to rule for now."

        "Wait, he's dead? Did you appoint his murderer? What if shes a Thalmor spy?" Scaleblade asked.

        "Relax she is a Nord, the Thalmor hate you nords so I think we are alright," Sparkling stated "What I need you to do is stay in the city until she is ready to take full control."

        "Alright, I'll see you tommorrow." Scaleblade left.

        Sparkling waited until there was nopony in sight, he then lit his horn with a bright cream color light. Then a small purple explosion at the tip of his horn sent him flying through a pocket dimension, within seconds he was in a throne room, decorated with lots of gold and marble.

        "Ah Sparkling Star! You've returned!" A pony at the other end of the room began to speak with a booming voice "What have you to tell me at this time?"

        "King BloodHoof! Emporer Stormcloak is dead!" Sparkling stated.

        "Really?" The King was shocked, he knew his spies were good but not as good as this "Did you kill him? Did you sink your dagger into his spine as his life slowly faded?"

        "No, a Nord mare did by accident and as Nordic law she holds the title of Empress now. However she isn't aware of many things about the Thalmor, we may be able to bend her stupidity to our will." Sparkling added.

        "You let a Nord take the throne!?" The King yelled. The got up and slowly walked over to Sparkling pulling out his sword when out of sparkling field of view. Finally he stabbed it through sparkling back and twisted it before pulling it back out and letting his limp dead body fall. A light purple essence then moved from Sparklings dead body to the kings.

        "Never send a wood elf to do a high elves job," The king stated as he prepared a spell which he aimed at the dead body. Then a blue light shot at the body as its wounds healed and it got up. It's eyes were a deep dark purple now, no pupil. The king leaned in to its ear "You will act as Sparkling Star. Manipulate the new empress to do my will and destroy the Stormclaok Empire. Long live the Thalmor."

       With that the highly Intellegent zombie nodded and teleported out of the throne room.

The letter

        -White-Gold tower-

        The Empress now seated at her desk in her private study was preparing to announce her rule which included full control over the empire. First however she had to hold a meeting with the Elder council and a few guests per her request.

        She grabbed her quill and began to write.

        Dear, Honered guests and members of the Elder Council,

        I would like to hold a meeting with you a week before my coronation. If you received this letter show it to any carriage driver in Tamriel as they shall be payed for. This letter shall also grant you access to the white-gold tower. You may bing one guest of your own but I suggest you come alone.

        Syncerly,

        The empress of Tamriel

        Having finished the letter she walked to a nearby guard "Guard, I need thirteen copies of this letter. Six of them should be mailed to the members of the Elder Council that are not present."

        "Yes my Empress!" The Dunmer guard took the letter in his magic and went off.

        -Bruma-

        "Alright buddy, this is as far as I go." Announced the carriage driver.

        "Thanks." spike replied.

        Spike the entered the city.

        -Rorikstead-

        "How is he?" Rainbow asked the Breton stallion.

        "He is going to be okay, he just needs a nights rest," Hearing this brought a great amount of relief to Rainbow "If you'd like you may spend the night."

        "Thank you." Rainbow just sat on the ston floor.

        She then lit a candle to brighten the room a little more. Most of the light had come from the crack of the door leading into the inn main hall, which wasnt alot of light seeing as the door was closed most of the way.

        Rainbow was startled by a sudden jolt of invisibles hoof. He then returned to his quiet and peaceful slumber. Rainbow continued to stare at him. The slow motion of his chest moving up and down, up and down. The way the light would shine on his face.

        Only one word could escape rainbows lips and as such she whispered "Damn..."

        -White-Gold tower-

        The rest of the elder council arrive as per request of sparkling stars previous letter. One of which was a good friend of Scaleblades, Master Neloth. Leader of house Telvvani and democratically elected Governer General of Morrowind.

        "Ah! Master Neloth!" Scaleblade greeted his friend and fellow Governer General "It's been a while! I don't think I've seen you since the house Telvvani grand dinner last year!"

        "Yes. Ive heard what happened to your family. Oh how devastating that must have been!" Neloth stated "Here. ROSE, MAKE MY FRIEND SOME APPLE CABBAGE STEW AND CAINES ROOT TEA!"

       "Neloth... Not everything can be solved with apple cabbage stew and caines root tea," Scaleblade shot his friend a blank look "Hay maybe later we can have a dinner and meet my friends Aplejack and Rarity!"

       "C'mon Scaleblade, you know what I'm like when I meet people I haven't meet before hand. I hate them." Neloth looked a little grumpy

       "Ah Neloth," Scaleblade mumbled as they made their way to the royal guest rooms "Well, lets continue this conversation in the morning!"

       -Bravil-

       Twilight had gotten into bed in her inn room. She was pondering what the rest of her friends were enduring. We're they in trouble? We're they okay? Had they found a way home and left Twilight and Fluttershy behind? No they wouldn't do that.

       That's when twilight realized she couldn't fall asleep. She was physically tire but her mind was as active as ever. Thinking too hard on somethings that she couldn't focus on important things. Maybe if she read something to tire her brain. That always worked.

       Twilight searched her room for a PEICE of reading material. Nothing, no literature, not even instruction manuals for something "Ugh! There is nothing to read!" But as Twilight said that pink flames flew around in the room before materializing infront of her as a letter "Finally!"

       Eagerly twilight snatched the.etter form the air. Quickly reading it. When she got to the end she was surprised to see who wrote it "... Syncerly, the empress of Tamriel. Huh."

        Twilight went into Futtershys room to ask her about the letter but however she found the timid pegasus cowering in the corner from another glowing copy of the same letter.

More than Loyal Firends...

        -Whiterun-

        "Alright Invisible, I don't think I can pull this carriage anymore." Rainbow stated to her injured friend, that she happened to be pulling due to his injuries.

        He didn't reply right away as he had been reading over a letter Rainbow received the previous night "Huh? Oh yeah here's good this is white run. Still can't believe you got a letter from the Empress... Still can't believe Emperor Stormcloak is dead!"

        "Well I guess we can see what's it about later. Go buy your stuff." Rainbow stated.

        "Oh no! This is important! We got to go to the Imperial City! The Empress herself want to see you! You know how important that is? We must hurry!" He quickly hollered "That path will take us to Cyrodiil go!"

        "Ugh." Rainbow muttered. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't find you cute. Rainbow thought to herself.

        -The Green Road-

        "Twilight, what if this Empress mare isn't so nice?" Fluttershy asked her friend a couple meters ahead of her.

        "Fluttershy she knew to send it to exactly us two and maybe the rest of our friends. She could know how to get us home!" Twilight stated "And Rarity always says its improper to deny royalty. Plus we're already half way there!"

        -White-Gold Tower-

        "Ah think mah headache is gettin worse." Applejack moaned.

        "I know what your going through AJ, I had a private Nord Mead brewery in Lakeview Manor," Scaleblade stated "Oh, the great parties and horrible mornings those drinks brought me! Now we need to get you two washed up if your to meet with an Empress. As well as get you girls some dresses!"

        "Don't worry dear, I've got that covered. As soon as this hangover passes, however." Rarity added.

        "Really? Rarity you make dresses? I guess you never really told me what your talent was," Scaleblade then started to chuckle "By your cutie mark I thought you were a diamond miner!"

        "Well, on weekends that is true." Rarity stated

        "Wait, your really a diamond miner? When we go back to skyrim we should bring you to Darkwater Crossing. Show you some real mining!" Scaleblade added.

        "Hmmm... I've always wanted to work on my mining talents..." Rarity mumbled.

        -White-Gold Tower-

        The Empress was sitting on her bed in the royal bed chambers. She had always been a morning person and had woken up early. She was admiring the architecture of her new room. Until her attention had been taken by a nearby mirror with her reflection in it.

        Her mane put into a beutiful bun which let out a few streaks of hair that cascaded down her shoulders. She admired her braided tail as it swished back and forth. Her long dark eyelashes batting at her reflection made her giggle. Her golden shoes and beutifully decorated imperial dress reflecting light on her through the mirror. She was very beutiful.

        "Your majesty?" A voice came form the other side of her door.

        "Enter," As she granted access, the door swung open to reveal a young, lime green pegasus, who had a cutie mark of a map, a list, a book and a quill. He was easily recognizable "Ah, Ink-Wing. My favorite personnel librarian and steward. How are you this fine morning?"

        "Very well milady, thank you for asking," the young teen answered back "The entire Elder Council is present as well as two of the precipitants of the other seven letters."

        "Oh? Which ones?" She was surprised they responded so quickly.

        "A Nord by the name of Applejack Apple, as well as an Altmer by the name of Rarity Belle. They both were already present I the city when you sent the letters. They have befriended the Governer General of Skyrim. A mister Scaleblade I beleive," the stallion informed her "Now I have your list of things to do today, I also wrote you a custom short story for when you become bored in your spare time."

        "Thank you Ink-Wing," the empress smiled "Come sit, I would like to have somepony to hold a casual conversation with."

        -Riverwood-

        Rainbow had been trying to go faster than her usual pace which was taking its toll on her hooves. Her only motivation being her friends will and she was loyal to all her friends, no exceptions. Still she could use a bit of a break.

        "Rainbow you look a little tired there. Maybe you should rest. You did trot all the wary from Whiterun without any breaks," invisible stated "Don't worry about me I think my hooves feel a bit better."

        Remembering how applejack got during applebuck season she stopped "Look there's an inn, maybe we could stop and rest, maybe get a bit to eat, there." The mare pointed to the inn as the unicorn stallion got out of the carriage Rainbow was pulling.

        The two entered the inn and found it to be almost empty, save for the bard and the innkeeper. "Can we get some food? Me and my friend here are starved." Rainbow hollered across the room.

        "Okay, what'll it be?" The innkeeper replied.

        Taking a seat, Invisible answered the innkeeper as he approached "I'll have an apple cabbage soup, please."

        "Yep, and for you young filly." The inn keeper turned to face rainbow.

        "Uh... I guess... I'll have... The samething?" She replied.

        "Alright." The innkeeper said as he left to go prepare the custamers meals.

        "You know Rainbow, I never got to thank you for saving me. It's was very kind," Invisible stated. Staring into Rainbows eyes "Not to mention that most others would abandon somepony at that point."

        "Aw, it was nothing. I'm loyal to my friends." Rainbow blushed.

        "It was not nothing, you saved me from death and now I'm forever loyal to you." Invisible added.

        "Well, thank you." rainbow replied.

        Rainbow Continued to admir the way the light shone on his face. The way his eyes twinkled. The way his mane was styled. She could only think of one sentence while looking at him. Damn he's hot.

Her Majesty

        -White-Gold Tower-

        "Your majesty?" Ink-Wing approached the empress "Two more of the six guests are accounted for. That leaves only two not present."

        "Ugh I'm getting impatient. I've got a day left until my private meeting and a day after that is my official announce of rule," She began to rub her temples "Well start the meeting with out them..."

        The empress was interrupted by a robed figure slamming the throne room doors open. The guards raised their weapons. Just to lower them to see the figure raise a letter with the royal seal.

        "Ink-Wing, change that to five guests accounted for," a large grin crossed the empresses face "Well if my memory serves me right that leaves just Rainbow left. Oh, and hello Spike."

        -slightly north of Imperial City-

        Rainbow and Invisible were riding in the back of a hired carriage they found in Bruma. Invisible was naming the constellations in the night sky "And some are able to look to the respective constellation and instantly better themselves in that trade," Invisible explained "I've had my luck on the merchants constellation of speech."

        "Hmmm... You guys need a flying constellation." Rainbow gigled.

        "But these constellations are for talents, virtually anypony can have," Invisible replied "Only pegasai races can fly."

        "Yeah but usually Pegasai and Earth ponis can't preform magic," Rainbow voiced her thoughts "Yet ponies here still found out how to teach non unicorns how to do it. I'm sure you can make some wing prosthetic thing or flight magic."

        "Hmmm." Was all Invisible could say in return.

        -White-Gold tower-

        Rarity had just finished dresses for her, Applejack, Twilight and Fluttershy. The dresses were similar to the ones the friends wore to the gala, with a little added skyrim flare. Instead of their usual colors they had a large amount of blue, the traditional color of the Stormcloak empire. As well as a fair bit of red, the color of the old empire.

        She had also prepared dresses for both Rainbow and Pinkie Pie for when they arrived, however the young so-Called Ink-Wing said only a dress for Rainbow will be required.

        Right now Rarity and her three other friends were getting cleaned up at the royal imperial spa, whilst Spike was fitted for a suit, in the room just across the hall.

        "Oh forget the Ponyville spa, Fluttershy dear,I think we'll have to come here every week!" Rarity announced form her mud bath. Fluttershy, over on the message table, just replied with a sigh of extreme comfort and some quick nodding.

        "Raity, y'all like comin here to get muddy, why dont y'all come to sweet apple acres after one of dem der Rainstorms?" Applejack was confused by Rarity taking a liking to the mud bath

        "Were am I supposed to get such a heavenly message such as Fluttershy's, on your farm?" Rarity replied "Certainly not you. Well Applebloom doesn't have her cutie mark, she could become a masseuse."

        "Applebloom the masseuse my fucking flank." Applejack muttered so nopony heard.

        -Next room over-

        Spike and finally decided on a suit he liked. It was some sort of blue fabric with a red tie and pants. It looked good on him. You know, for pony clothes modified and shoved on a dragon.

        "Well her majesty isn't very picky so I don't think she'll care if it looks a tad out of place."

        -Empresses chambers-

        The empress was happy, there was only one guest not accounted for, and she was sure that guest would arrive soon. Rainbow was a very loyal pony anyways. She was the element of loyalty.

        -Sovenguarde-

        Paarthunax had just arrived in through the portal, which previously was reserved only for his eldest brother, now for the of dead to be reincarnated. A few he actually recognized, not by previous experience as he never spoke with ponies other than the greybeards, Dovahkiin and recently Applejack.

       As he roamed the skies of the Tamrielic heaven he noticed quite a funny sight. To his left he saw an armored mare and a similarly armored, but. With gold, stallion arguing.

       "... No it's your fault, General Goldenchest, that Stormcloak won the war! If your executioner wasnt such a wimp we would have been still alive!" The mare hollered.

       "Legate, that executioner was one you hired! And if you didn't kill that blasted dragonborn first at Helgan, Stormcloak wouldn't have had the upper hoof, by Mara if we killed him he wouldn't have hooves at all!" General Golden Chest replied with his point.

       "It doesn't matter if you guys won that silly war or not, Im dead now." A certain Tan, brown maned, earth pony approached.

       "Stormcloak? Your dead? Ha! I new the empire wouldn't fail us!" The General stated.

       "Actually general, I completly sacked your empire and Tamriel is now under the rule of the Stormcloak Empire. No I was killed by a young mare who is a Nord." Stormcloak explained.

       "A Stormclaok empire? What hell is that?" Legate asked.

       "Actually you silly silly legate, as far as I know the Empire was at peace with the Thalmorian empire, owns most of Tamriel and still has Talos in the religious pantheon," Stromclaok Explained "Your empire let half of Tamriel fall to the Thalmor, remove Talos and Them Thalmor were still at war with Elswyr, Hammerfel and Black Marsh."

       "Oh. Well. That's... Great." The general looked surprised.

       "Well since we're stuck her forever and got nothing to do plus the war is over, wanna join the Stormcloaks?" Stormcloak asked us two former enemies.

       "Eh. Why not, got nothin else to do but drink mead and walk for an eternity." General replied.

       -White-Gold Tower-

       Rainbow and Invisible had just entered the tower. The tower was brightly lit and the halls were decorated however not a guard was in sight. Every now and then Invisible would stop to admire the building and rainbow would just get mad at the Handsome stallion.

       The finally crossed a door that was heavily guarded "Halt citizens! Only the Elder Council and invited guests of her majesty may enter this room!" Rainbow held up her letter wih her mouth "Very well, you may enter."

       The guards opened the door and the two ponies arrived just in time. Rainbow took a seat beside Rarity. "So were all here? I wonder who our mutual friend is... Wait where's..."

       Rainbow was cut off by a young pegasus stallion "Hello Ladies and Gentlecolts. You have been called here to have a private meeting with her majesty, she has advised me before hand that guests should be polite as the guards can take anything otherwise as a threat," Ink-Wing explained "This includes, interrupting of her majesty's speech, Belching, passing gass, and unnecessary screaming and hollering. Now all please rise," All of the ponies, plus dragon stood up from their seats "... for her Majesty, Empress Pinkamena Diane Pie!"

       The five mares sitting in the center in the very large group of ponies yelled in surprise "Pinkie Pie?!?!?!" As spike mouthed "I knew it."

Stealing it back

        "Did you not just hear what Ink-Wing said?" Pinkie hollered to signal that the guards can yield their weapons. Pinkie then proceeded to poor a drink of wine "Confound my friends, they drive me to drink."

        "Excuse me your highness," Money-Scale, Governor General of Black Marsh, spoke up "Why exactly, were we called to a meeting?"

        "Yes I'm curious as to why we are here as well." Governor General Neloth spoke up.

        "Ladies and Gentlecolts, what I am about to say cannot leave this room, Understood?" Everypony nodded "Now, there was a dwarven artifact  stolen form an excavation in Morrowind. Form what I'm told it wasn't completed yet by the dwarves, thank stendarr it wasn't, because it could result in total destruction of the empire if it had fallen into the wrong hooves"

        "Exactly what is the function of this machine?" Scaleblade was curious.

        "The machine has the power to send one or more individuals to and from Oblivion, this includes the deadric princes. It can also merge the planes of Oblivion and Mundus. Both situations ending in another oblivion crisis. However the machine is unfinished, for now." Pinkie sparked some interest in those present.

        "What do you mean for now? Is someone planning to finish it?" Twilight was very intrigued by the machine and what it could possible do.

        "Yes, now I've only been in rule for a number roof days now but I would like to address this problem. Along with the help of all you," Pinkie Explained "With the threat of somepony trying to use it against the empire, I also have a need for the machine myself."

        "So you want us to find were it is, wait for the enemy to complete it, then steal it? I feel like there's something more to it" Scaleblade announced.

        "Yes, we'll the currently, however not for long, useless machine is in the inner sanctum of the Palace of Blood." Pinkie replied.

        "Wait, it's in the Thalmor Capitol city?!?!" Most of the Governor Generals yelled in shock.

        "Yes, as well as when completed it will be the size of the Blue Palace in solitude." Pinkie just added to the frustration.

        "Pinkie, why do y'all care 'bout this here Dwarf thingy? We need ta get home!" Applejack announced.

        "Applejack, first I have been put in charge Tamriel and caring for its ponies, as a true leader I will stop trying to keep them safe. Secondly this is an essential key to bring us home." Pinkie explained.

        -White-Gold tower-

        "What's going on?" A familiar voice ringed inside the head of Sparkling Star's "Anything that can help me?"

        "We'll the empress has called all of the imperial council and a few guests into a meeting, I'm not included because I'm no longer the imperial steward. I did get to speak with Governer General Scaleblade..."

       BloodHoof interrupted "WHAT!?!? THAT NORDIC BASTARD PRICK IS ALIVE?!?!?!?!?!"

       "We'll yes..."

       "No, Sparkling he is the dragon born, he... Well temporarily killed the god of the end of the world. He killed a god! No doubt he will be able to take us out in a single hit! Kill him soon and make sure he suffers, Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, whatever you can do to break him!"

       "Yes my king. I shall carry out your command." Sparkling star replied.

       "Good, now I have to execute an assasin." With that sparkling heard no more of the kings voice.

       -Ruins of Lakeview Manor-

       A dark earth pony stallion wandered the ruins of the former mansion that belonged to his good friend and co-worker. Looking over the three corpses of his best friends family. Remembering Scaleblades children calling him uncle Shay.

      It was depressing, even for his line of work. He thought his friend Scaleblade must be in emotional chaos. Poor guy. Maybe I should go find him and comfort him, he's always done the small for me. The stallion set off for imperial city, travelling by the night.

      -White-Gold Tower-

      "If it's so big, how do ya expect us to get out with it and not get caught?" Rainbow was wondering.

      "Well, it is being held in a similar place to its original home in Morrowind," Pinkie explained "I thought that because Rarity, is an Altmer by looks we can get her to infiltrate the Thalmorian palace and learn the spell to move such a giant. Then teach twilight the spell, as she, along with many other Dunmer, has alarger magic deposit."

      "And what do you intend to use it for, your majesty?" Neloth asked "What benefit is there if we recreate the oblivion crisis and not the Thalmor?"

      "Oh no, I don't plan on bringing deadric princes here," Pinkie announced "I was thinking on visiting new sheoth in shivering isles."

Death, of a friend

        Rarity awoke in a rather uncomfortable bed. She took a moment to admire the walls, golden, as we're alot of elven products. Gold was rather abundant in Summerset and along the coast of Valenwood.

        Rarity got out of bed and walked over to the door. There happened to be a couple of stallions talking outside the room. One a Golden stallion with a cream mane, a white stallion with orange mane and an orange stallion with a gold mane who reminded Rarity of Applejack. However, they were all unicorn.

        Not a single pegasai or earth pony anywhere. Rarity continued to walk down the hallway until stopped by a white unicorn with a crimson mane. Her cutie mark was mostly hidden but Rarity could make out a bloody mace with some organ hanging from the end of it.

        "Halt!" Rarity was scared "I don't think I've seen you before, tell me your name."

        "M-my name is Rarity." Was all she could say, intimidated by the sheer size of the mare, of that which rivaled Big Macs!

        "Rarity huh? I remember your name for the recruits list," a classical thalmor lie "So what ya doin here?"

        "I... uh... Just came back from a mission! Yes! And I wanted to see the Dwarven Artifact!" Rarity answered.

        The mare looked to another guard who winked at her, she nodded back "Yeah sure I could show you to the Artifact. Follow me."

        -Royal Imperial Spa-

        "So... um... Pinkie, how did you become... you know... The Empress of a country?" Fluttershy asked. She was having her weekly spa day but since Rarity wasnt here, pinkie thought she would join her.

        "Well, it's not much of a happy story," Pinkie Explained "I was trying to make friends with the former Emporer, who I did not know was the Emporer at the time..."

        -Imperial City, one week ago-

        Pinkie was super happy, a little while ago she had found a couple coins on the ground and gave one to a poor elderly mare. Pinkie felt so happy to see the mare smile up at her. That kind of thing always made her day.

        As pinkie walked down the street she spotted a sad looking earth pony stallion with blue clothing. She sat beside him on the bench he was on. He didnt notice. Pinkie shuffled closer to him. He still didnt notice.

        "Hiya! I'm Pinkie Pie!" Pinkie held her hoof out with a grin with a grin, finally getting the attention of the stallion.

        Not the rude type of stallion, he sook the hoof and replied "Emporer Stormcloak, but I'm sure you knew that, everypony does."

        "Hay, why so glum chum?" Pinkie didnt like it when others didnt feel happy. So she tried to cheer up the stallion and hopefully make a new friend.

        "Why so glum? Well, I'm the Emporer of this entire country, North, South, East and West coast. Everywhere you walk, I practically rule," He explained "Yet I barely feel fit to be in charge of even the tiniest village. Heck if I were in charge of as small village like Rorikstead, the ponies would rebel in less than a week. Back when I ruled Windhelm we had many problems with the Nordic population I could barely take time to help the other races and some too this as prejeduce towards the others. That alone earned me the title of the Racist King."

        "And that makes you sad that ponies think you don't like them. I know how it feels, it makes me sad too when ponies think I don't like them." Pinkie replied.

        "But not just that, I took over the empire after the Dark Brotherhood killed the former emperor. I allowed the provinces to come up with their own provincial government to be nice and it worked. But I left all my friends up north when I left to become emperor. I was never meant to rule anything. I-I," After that he broke down into tears "I just wanna have friends!"

        Pinkie then started to hug the stallion and comfort him, neither noticed the gathering croud watching them "There there. I'll be your friend," Pinkie stroked Stormcloaks mane "Here have a cookie."

        Stormcloak watched as the mare brought out a cookie from seemingly nowhere. He gently took it with his hoof and had a bite "Tasty, what's it made from?" He coughed a little.

        "Some plant I found outside the city, someone told me it was Nirnroot so..."

        Ulfric interrupted pinkie with violent hacking "Nirnroot?!?! IM ALLERGIC TO NIRNROOT!" The Emporers coughin pg got worse and worse. He fell to the ground coughing almost taking up his entire breath. It lasted 12 minutes untill he stopped moving, that's when the guards came and checked the Emporer, sparkling star had came too.

         Sparkling checked his breathing and heart rate, nothing. Sill he couldn't leave the people in shock. After all he was a Thalmor, not a monster "Don't worry! His majesty will be alright. We are preparing a spell to reverse the affects of his allergen."

         The Altmer then followed the guards in. Two more guards came and grabbed the shocked pinkie pie by the fore hooves "C'mon, you caused him to get allergic."

         -Royal Imperial Spa, current time-

         "I was held a mix of feelings for a while," Pinkie Explained to Fluttershy "Mostly Shocked that somepony had just died in front of me, Sadness that this pony was my friend, and most of all, guilt that I cuased his death."

         "Well, it's not your fault? How were you supposed to know he was allergic?" Fluttershy replied.

         "Yeah and before he died I did make him feel better. So at least I left a positive influence on him." Pinkie announced.

         "I know I always feel horrible when one of my animal friends die. I always think of what I could have done better to keep them alive, when I should of thought about how much of a happy life they lived having a friend like me," Fluttershy explained "So is the curse of a longer life span."

Jailed by the Thalmor

        -Thalmor Dungeon-

        "As I'm sure you know, in order to reach the Dwarven Artifact room, we must go through the dungeon," The Thalmor mare explained, whom Rarity learned was named Bloody Mace "Have you ever been down to the dungeon?"

        "Uh, no... Not really. I'm always busy with... Well you... Ugh... Thalmor... Stuff, you know." Rarity hesitantly replied.

        "Right... Well you see this cell? This one here?" Bloody Mace gestured to an empty cell "This was the cell of... Um... Emperor... Something something, wanna check it out?"

        "Um... Alright," Rarity stepped inside the cell to inspect it "What happens to be so special about it?"

        As Rarity said that, Bloody Mace closed the door "Hah! Stupid Stormcloak spy! I can't beleive you fell for such a bloody retarded trap! Ha!"

        "What? I'm a Thalmor! You can't do this! You stupid excuse for a guard!" Rarity hollered.

        "Oh how rude! To bad you didn't use that when it would have helped you!" Bloody mace left the room.

        -White-Gold tower-

        Spike was standing near a small water fountain. The sound of the flowing water was calming. He needed to calm himself. He was overwhelmed with the events that had transpired. First getting stranded in another universe, then having his crush thrown into the heart of an Empire filled murderers. He'd get heavily drunk to calm himself... if he were of drinking age. However spike was responsible, one need Ed to be to know the thu'um... and if they wished to date the Eement of Generocity.

       As spike quietly sat by the flowing water, the aire around him began to pick up and swirl before manifesting into a small representation of Paarthunax. "Spike, what takes you so long? Why haven't you returned with the six others?"

       "Have patience, I thought that you of all dragons could tolerate that," Spike replied "I just need a little time."

       -Royal Imperial Bedchambers-

       Pinkie paced back and forth within her room. Ah had not hearted from Rarity for two whole days now. What had that mare gotten into? By the nine, Pinkie usually knew better than to threaten her

friends lives for what somepony else could do. Wait what? No! I couldn't send one of my ponies to their doom! Pinkie thought. It was tough but Pinkie ultimately came to the conclusion that she was right in the first place. Rarity had the best experience to handle situations like this.

       "My empress?" Sparkling star entered the room with out knocking as usual "I have some grim news."

       -Somewhere above Valenwood-

       "Her Majesty will fall for me when I save her friend form Thalmor murderers," Ink-Wing whispered to himself whilst flying "Then I'll get a true place in the empire."

       The teenaged pegasus continued to fly, thinking aloud to himself as usual. After a while a thought dawned on him "Is it weird that I talk to myself?" He thought for a couple of minutes "Nah."

Grab your stuff were going to war!

        -Thalmor Palace foyer-

        Ink-Wing had just arrived at the palace. Still looking like a teenaged Argonian in an empire strictly meant only for elves he hid to practice an old spell he learned. It was but a mere appearance changing spell to change that of his coat and mane from relative green colors to a nice cream coat and a gold mane.

        Then he put a jacket over his pegasus shirt to hid his wings. The king had outlawed anypony other than High Elves and certified wood elves form entering the empire. Now all he needed was a fake horn, which was easy enough to make, all he needed was magic relay putty. Whenever magic was cast it would be directly sent through the putty instead of other magic outputs such as mouth or hooves.

        Finally it dawned on him, nopony can just waltz in the castle. No head need to add to his disquise. He searched the palace until finally finding a small servants door quietly he drank a small ten second invisibility potion,which was just enough time to get in, put on servants attire and go to find out where Rarity is.

        -Ink-Wing's room in White-Gold Tower-

        "Where could heave gone?" Pinkie frantically searched his room "There must be something to indicate where he went!"

        "Your majesty, maybe he recorded it in his journal?" Sparkling Star suggested "It is what I would have done."

        "Sparkling your a genius!" Pinkie rushed over to Ink-Wings bedside and searched all the night stand drawers "Ah here we are!"

        The two ponies huddled around the small red book "Hmmm, what a disorganized runt, not recording the date when written." Sparkling stated.

        "Sut up, I'm reading," pinkie responded "Ah here's the last entry, I hated this morning breakfast, blah blah blah, I'm going to Summerset to show my worth to the empress, blah blah blah... Wait... What?"

       -Thalmor Palace Servants quarters-

       "You!" A large Thalmor officer approached Ink-Wing "Whats your name?"

       "Uh..." Ink-Wing quickly had to think of a casual Thalmor name, something related to war "Golden... Dagger?"

       "Alright, go clean the dungeons. Careful, we got a Stormclaok held up in there, she might try to eat you." The guard commanded.

       Ink-Wing walked away thinking, they think we eat them? Retarded elves! He continued down the hall until he realized something very important. He had no clue where in oblivion the dungeon was.

       -Stormclaok palace spa-

       Sitting there in complete bliss. Having just had a full facial, hooficure and back massage. Yep, nothing more enjoyable in the whole Stormclaok empire, other than the heat of battle of coarse. The whole evening being topped with a soak in the jacuzzi.

       That was however all slightly embarrassing when the empress entered the room "We... Scaleblade?"

       "Um... Lets forget this ever happened." Scaleblade announced.

       "Agreed. Now, I will need you to join us in the throne room. Some... thing has come up." Pinkie stated "Oh, and change into a set of armor you like."

       -Thalmor Throneroom-

       BloodHoof was sitting upon his throne as he did when he wasn't, personally executing those he found fit. He was just getting ready to go to bed in fact. He finally got off his throne and started down the bedroom corridor when he ran into one of his servants who seemed to be lost.

       "What are you doing wandering the halls, servant?" BloodHoof asked.

       "Oh... Um, sorry your majesty I was just looking for the dungeon. I have been assigned to clean it and I never really bothered to find out where it was located before." Ink-Wing replied, if her were fooling the king his disguise must be great.

       "Oh the other hallway across the throne room is what your looking for my dear cleaner." BloodHoof explained "May I ask, what is your name?"

       "Golden-Dagger sir?"

       "Expect a raise in your next paycheck." With that the king was off.

       -Stormcloak Throneroom-

       "Pinkie? What's the problem? Why'd ya call us all here?" Applejack asked curiously.

       "Neloth I need your best healers and battle-mages. Scaleblade bring all your best soldiers, Money-Mouth we will need to cross the Thalmorian border through your province undetected," Pinkienwas hoofing out orders by the second "And applejack, why did I call you here? Because we're going to war!"

Shopping for armor

        -Stormclaok Emporers armory-

        Pinkie walked down the grand hall of armor and weapons that have been, in rare cases, wielded by the previous emperors and empresses before her. Most were some wimpy gold set with jewel in crested weapon. Figured, an emperor rarely ever had to go into battle, I this case needed to meant wanted to. She also didn't have time to forge her own set.

        However she kept looking as it was a large hallway and there had been many emperors, however nothing that predated the Septim empire as any material from before had rusted due to poor maintenance of the towers amazing plumbing system.

        Finally pinkie reached the end of the hall. The armor set of emperor Tiber Septim, or as it was in modern language, Justice. It was very unique. It was the design and shape of a steel set however it was obviously made from Dwemer metal.

        Pinkie smirked as she looked over the armor set plus the sword. Only one thought could cross her mind "We gonna have one hell of a party!" Pinkie chuckled.

        -Thalmor Dungeon-

        Ink-Wing finally found the dungeon, thanks to his pocket map he picked up along the way. Only paying attention to his map he wasn't able to realize the only prisoner in the room staring at him. Absolutely disgusted by him if to say the least.

        "You ponies disgust me! I hate you all!" Rarity hollered at Ink-Wing, not able to see through his disguise "The Stormcloaks will get me out of here! Aha! And then! Then I'll have every single Thalmor loyalists head!"

        Ink-Wing looked up, he recognized that voice "Rarity?" He looked over rot the mare, who's mane had been cut short, dyed black and tangled to a horrible mess, her white coat full of blood stains, however non were fresh so he guessed she had not been hurt recently.

        As well as Ink-Wing recognizing her voice, she recognized his "Ink-Wing?" Rarity replied, finally realizing how she first reacted to him "Oh my gosh darling, I'm so sorry for what I said about you earlier. As you can see being polite and generous around these ruffians doesn't get one anywhere."

        "It's alright Rarity, I'm here to help you. But first, how did you get in here?"

        -North of the Imperial City-

        Rainbow Dash and InvisibleScale had been sitting under an apple tree. Staring at the stars, admiring one another's company. Rainbow just sat there listening to the voice of her love as he talked about some astronomy stuff.

        Neither noticed, but an imperial courier was approaching them. It took a couple more minutes until Rainbow noticed him coming "Look, somepony is coming." The courier finally stopped in front of the two.

        "You two are urgently needed at the White-Gold tower, her majesty needs to speak with you." He explained.

        "Ugh. What could Pinkie want now?" Rainbow muttered in annoyance.

        "We have been gone for a couple weeks, maybe she has something we can help with," Invisible replied as the courier returned to the city "Besides, I think we've devoted ourselves to each other for long enough that we can stand to be with other ponies."

        -Thalmor Throneroom-

        As usual BloodHoof was seated upon his royal throne. He had been awaiting some sort of communication with Sparkling Star. Most preferably a letter. He liked letters. So long as they are not written in hoof writing. He hated hoof writing.

        Suddenly a glowing blue cloud entered the room and manifested into a spectral version of Sparkling Star "My king!" He bowed "I have your latest report. I have reason to beleive there is a spy in your court. Be careful because he could be faking any position of your staff. Also I beleive the empress may be planning something. Something big!"

       "How do you know?" The king was intrigued.

       "Because she looked me in the closet. She always locks me in the closet when there's something important." Sparkling explained "Please send food, I've been in here for three day-" BloodHoof magically closed the telepathic connection.

       "So, another spy to deal with... and I think I know who..." The elven axe to his left.

       -High Hrothgar-

       "Odahviing," Paarthunax started a conversation with his apprentice as well as friend "I sence something of great importance is to happen. We must travel to Valenwood."

       "What about the seven mortal sent by 'him'?" Odahviing aksed

       "I have a feeling we would be helping them," Paarthunax explained "As well as fulfilling the prophecy."

Before the Storm

        -Valenwood, border between Thalmor and Stormcloak empires-

        Heading south west were the Skyrim, Morrowind, Cyrodiil and Valenwoods legions of the Stormcloak empire. A total of about 20,000 ponies. At the head of the entire army was the respective governor generals for the legions, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Applejack and Fluttershy.

        "Where in the wide world of Nirn is Rainbow Dash?" Applejack asked, starting to pick up on the local slang.

        "Uh, she was in attendance," Pinkie explained looking at the 'R' section of the record book Twilight suggested pinkie use "Maybe she's just falling back?"

        "Maybe, it is a been a long, and were the only ones with a carriage. Not to mention were only half way there." Scaleblade added.

        "Whatever the cause I do hope she catches up, we need to keep her close to the front," Pinkie announced. Pinkie watched as they passed a small landmark that only few recognized as the marker for the Thalmor border "Alright, we are officially in the Empire of the Thalmor. Shall we go over the plan again? Alright, we are going to board shipment vessels that have been redied for us on the beach.We will ride them for an hour or so and begin our assault on Summerset isles. The Cyrodiilic legion will fight out side along with the Archers from Valenwood. Neloths healers and destruction mages will also fight around the city as the conjurers and nords enter the castle along with me and my friends."

        -Thalmor Dungeon-

        "Well! That's it! Your disguised as a guard!" Ink-Wing was extremely impress with his handy work, for right in front of him was a golden mare with an orange mane, as well as wearing the armor of any local Thalmor guard. However this was actually Rarity wearing a disguise he threw together, at the price of knocking a guard unconscious.

        "Thank you darling!" Rarity thanked her savior "Oh we should send a letter to Pinkie to inform her on our situation. She'd wan to know imidiatly!"

        With that Rarity scribbled like mad on a peice of paper she ripped from some book. Wen she was done Ink-Wng magically light it to fire and watched as the green smoke flew away.

        -Imperial City-

        "Yo, have you seen Governer General Scaleblade?" A black stallion asked a guard.

        "Governer General? All of them, along with the empress, headed to Summerset to declare war on the Thalmor. An army of over 20,000!" The guard explained.

        The stallion then ran off, he needed to be in Summerset.

        -Halfway through Thalmor Valenwood-

        Still marching through Valenwood, the army had surprisingly not been detected, save for the odd skeeter or wolf. Then again they took a route where not many had settled in the province so it made sence.

        When Pinkie looked through her telescope she was delighted to see eight or so large ships, ready to go, sitting along the coast. Tonight, we dine in Oblivion! Pinkie smiled at that thought.

        Meanwhile further back in the group, Rainbow dash was suited up with her good old armor from Orsinium. She was however weilding a bow now as she thought it would serve as a good weapon when flying. She was running in order to catch up to her friends.

        The closer to her friends she got, the better she could see the boats ahead. They were massive shipping boats. Finally they had arrived and they were ready to board the ships. Rainbow had gotten on the one designated for her and her friends.

        After about a minut of searching she had found her friends in the command room. Pinkie was changing into her armor, as the rest already dawned theirs. Twilight wore some destruction mages robes, Fluttershy had the biggest set up armor and Applejack had a set of banded iron armor.

       "Ah Rainbow! Your finally here!" Pinkie stated "Do you remember the plan?"

       "Pinkie," Rainbow sighed "You've told us the plan a million times, I think I got it!"

       "Alright just making sure," as Pinkie said that, a letter materialized right infront of her face. She opened it to see it was from Rarity, Pinkie instinct lay began to read out loud "Pinkie, we urgently need help escaping the Thalmor palace, we are going to lock the entree nice to and guard the Dwemmer artifact."

       "Alright, as if we didnt have enough pressure on us." Twilight stated

       -Thalmor Palace-

       Rarity and Ink-Wing were sneaking through the hallways at an attempt to find the room keeping the aritfact. It took a while but the did end up finding it. The Artifact was massive. Ink-Wing, who had delved into Dwemer research once or twice was amazed. The most complex of Dwemmer technology was the lexicon, yet it could fit in ones hands, he couldn't imagine how they maneged to build this.

        Of course as the reckless intellectual that he is, he literally dove into the machine.

Stormcloaks V.S Thalmor

        -Halfway to Summerset isles-

        Pinkie entered the room which Scaleblade was occupying. He had been making an awful lot of noise. Most of the racket was thu'um. He was probably practicing for the battle. He seemed to be practicing on a toad.

        "What are you doing governor general?" Pinkie asked, not noticing any changes when he shouted at the amphibian "It looks as if your shout had no affect."

        "Ah but you are wrong my empress, you see I had an Argonian tree toad, but now he has thicker skin to keep warmer in the cold and small suction cups on his feet, the exact characteristics of the Windhelm building frog! It's a change race shout."

        "Oh? What inspired you to create one such shout?" Pinkie was intrigued, she considered learning the thu'um even. Having a Dragonborn teacher would be excellent for such.

        "The Racism of Windhelm. Even after banning racism there is still prejudice towards few non-nords thought out Skyrim, in Markarth it's the Bretons, in Windhelm it's well, everyone else. I aim to change that with this shout," Scaleblade explained "I hope my research isn't boring you!"

        "Not at all. I'd actually like to take up classes to learn the thu'um," Pinkie stated "Well I better get on deck, well be entering the city any moment now."

        -Dwemmer artifact room-

        Ink-Wing had actually found a small Dwemmer lock box within the sanctum of the machine. H had planned on selling it, not without copying it first however. He had lent Rarity his sword so she was fit to guard for him.

        He spent ours taking down notes and studying the Dwemmer artifact. Nopony really had a name for it other than that. He guessed that if it doesn't already have a name, he might as well name it "The Dwemmer..." of course not all ponies are very creative "...the... Dwemmer... Well lets anylize what we know. It's, obviously, Dwemmer. It summons portals to any plane of oblivion one such pony may desire and its powered by an Octeferium core... Octeferium... ferium... Aha! The Dwemmer Deadraferium! That sounds like a cool name!"

        However during his self conversation, he didnt notice the lime green spot forming on his hoof. His magic feeding the disguise was running out. It still took a little longer before the young stallion noticed this.

        "And... Uh oh," he saw that his hooves were completely returned to there regualr tint and what was left of his elven disguise was the color of his head, mane and his outfit. Even then the color was sure not to last. He rushed up the stairs to warn Rarity that her out fit was to fade as well.

        -Thalmor Palace West Wing-

        So little lady, you think you can spy on my court? Your little charade is over Stormcloack spy!" King BloodHoof decapitated the pony he knew to be the Stormcloak spy. Then a greenish stallion came from the door the dead mare was guarding.

        "Sup Kitchen Knife, what's for dinner?" The King asked his cook.

        "Everything burrito my good lord," 'twas the king favortie meal "Whats with her?"

        "Nuthin, just a Stormcloak spy I exterminated!" The king puffed out his chest and felt proud of himself.

        -Thalmor Palace East Wing-

        Ink-Wing rushed out of the room holding the Dwemmer Deadraferium, not bearing his disguise at all. In fact he had torn off his elven shirt and magic puddly and now dawned just his saddle bags.

        "Rarity! My disguise magic is running out! Yours won't last much longer either!" He warned his friend.

        "Oh thank you for notifying my darling! Don't want to be changing back to normal in front of the King!" Rarity replied.

        -Thalmor Capitol Docks-

        Pinkies ship had just docked in the Thalmor port with the other seven not to far behind, by now everypony on her ship was armed and ready for their jobs. She liked Tamrielic armies as a posed to Equestrian ones. Battles were much easier to plan out compared to the extremly complex plans of the royal Canterlot guards.

       They had parked as to look like the ship was abandoned, the majority of soldiers were under deck, only ten or so had stayed on deck and they all were hidden extremly well. A Thalmor officer had gotten on ship to inspect why it looked empty.

       But as he walked he was caught in a spark rune, shocking the stallion. As that happened all the hidden soldiers jumped at him. Swords aimed right at the poor guy. Only a second had passed and he had about three swords through the chest and two thought the head.

       They then ran off the boat into the city as the seven other ships docked. Neloth, Scaleblade and the mane six, except for Rarity, ran into the battle... Well Fluttershy ran off to hide but that was expected. Pinkie watched her left and right. Everywhere she looked she saw Thalmor being stabbed, gutted, decapitated, sliced in half or even the rare shot by an arrow. In fact a few looked as if they were porcupines they were shot so much!

       Pinkie wasnt killing many because she had one specific target in mind. Well it was going to be her only target, however a Thalmor wizard shot an ice spike straight for Pinkies head. Luckily she jumped and her armor deflected it. She then lunged at the wizard decapitating his head. By now she had obviously grown custom to the kill or be killed way of life that is Nirn.

      -Dwemmer Deadraferium room-

      Rarity and Ink-Wing looked out the door window. The two had been bored for a while. It had been a couple hours since Ink-Wing decided he was done taking notes this done with being an 'egghead'. They started watching because they noticed a questionably large amount of guards running up and down the hallway in front of the door.

      Finally an officer ran by "GO GO GO!!! WE NEED TO FEND OF THE ATTACKERS BEFORE THEY REACH THE CASTLE!!!"

      "Attack?" Rarity whispered "You don't think..."

      "Oh I do think, Pinkie is an amazing empress and values the lives of her subject over anything else in Nirn. If she wanted to rescue us she'd find a way to do it and take down whoever held us captive," Ink-Wing rellied "That my not sound at all like the pinkie you know but let me remind you she had changed tremendously when being taught politics and how to be... well exactly what she is now."

      However neither noticed how loud Ink-Wing was talking, nor how many Thalmor it caught the attention of.

      -Outside the Thalmor Palace-

      Wave after wave the Stormcloak soldiers just kept on plowing through anything that came through the door of the palace. Neloth was having a ten to one battle with ten Thalmor battle mages. Of course the well experience Dunmer was winning.

      Scaleblade was using a combination of.. well everything! Conjuration, Desctruction, Restoration for his injured comrades. As well as Archery, Two and one handed weapons, duel wielding sometimes, other times not and very now and then he'd grab his shild from his back. Yep he was quite the war machine. The again most nords were bred for battle.

      Twilight was using a more equestrian approach as magically levitating weapons instead of either using war magic, or holding weapons. She was doing a pretty good job herself! Se was weilding a sword,  a coule of shields and a crossbow Scalebalde lent her.

      Then Applejack, well she simply bucked them in the face.

      But then the waves stopped, the Thalmor were ever not sending out anymore soldiers or they were depleted of them. Boy did the thought of the last one please Pinkie. She got up and started a speech.

      "Ladies and Gentlecolts! You have servers your empire well! You have served for your families, for your friends, for the lives he have back home and for our fallen comrades today. But it is not over! In that palace is the Thalmorian Emporer, King BloodHoof! Now most of you can be on your way and wait at the ships as you've earned a rest,"Pinkie commanded her army "However me and my selected team must attend to the king. For the empire!"

      The nearly 20,000 soldiers replied with "FOR THE EMPIRE!"

      Pinkie then headed for the grand palace which trapped the Emporer "Alright, we have a date with destiny!"

Fall of a King

        Pinkie was storming through the palace. Searching every room as they didn't find the king in the Throneroom. She knew the king had no way out as the palace was built with only one exit, the main doorway, which was being guarded by Twilight and Fluttershy.

        Finally she found the only locked door in the palace. Judging by the similar designs on the door as on the main door and thrown room door, it held great importance to the king. After analyzing it for about a minute, Pinkie decided it was the royal bedroom, telling from the numerous symbols involving slumber.

        Scaleblade and the other Nords prepared to knock down the door as Neloth and a small selection of conjuration and Desctruction mages got ready for any attack. Pinkie asked applejack to go retrieve Twilight and Fluttershy.

        Scaleblade had conjured a magical battering ram for the Nord to break into the room. They picked it up, surprisingly heavy, the began to position it right so it would hit the doorknob and open the door easier. Then they started to swing it back. Pinkie watched as the slightly see through purple battering ram swung at the door.

        BANG

        It hit the door leaving light damage.

        BANG

        Once again it hit, not fully opening the door, however it did take the doorknob off.

        BANG

        Then the door finally opened to reveal king BloodHoof, about five or so Thalmor (only two of them happened to be mages), Rarity and Ink-Wing, with the kings sword held up against their necks "Ah, Empress Pinkie I presume?" The king spoke with little to no fear "Names King BloodHoof, but you can call me Emporer because... well, that's what I am!"

        -High above Cyrodiil-

        "Paarthunax? What if we arrive, after they defeat the king?" Odahviing question the much older dragon.

        "That is the goal. My plan is to make sure they are transported back to Cyrodiil after they have started the chain reaction," The elder dragon explained as he flapped his wings "Then Nirn will be ruled as it was meant to be."

        -Thalmor Royal Bedroom-

        "BloodHoof, hoof over my friends!" Pinkie Shouted at the surprisingly laughing Emporer.

        "Oh are these your friends? Well it good your here! You can watch me personally escort them to their deaths." BloodHoof announced, bringing his sword closer to his hostages throats.

        "By the nine-"

        "Eight!" BloodHoof shouted.

        "BY THE NINE, IF YOU DO AS MUCH AS PLUCK A HAIR OF THEM I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT SEND YOUR SOUL TO THE SOUL CAIRN TO BE PERSONALLY TORTURED BY THAT HORRIBLE REALMS INHABITANTS!" Pinkie shouted drawing her sword getting ready to lung at him.

        "Ah ah ah, you see if you kill me, my remaining guards will kill you, ending the war as you do not have any heirs." He smiled.

        "You don't have foals!" Scaleblade shouted.

        "That is correct Nord, however my men recently stumbled upon Dwemmer cloning technology. In fact I have an entire army of BloodHoof III's ready to rule the Thalmorian empire at a moments notice," BloodHoof explained "Besides, I'd like to have a civilized conversation with you."

        Pinkie calmed herself down, sheathing her weapon "Very well, what would you like to speak of?" Pinkie asked with a slightly annoyed tone.

        "Why you, my girl! Where are you from? Who were your parents? What was it like growing up? That sort of thing." The emperor explained.

        "Very well," Pinkie didnt want them to know she was from another dimension so she would just replace Ponyville with Rorikstead and Cantorlot with Solitude "Well I was raised on a rock farm north of Rorikstead-"

        "A rock farm?" Inturupted the emperor "How do you gorw rocks? Nevermind, that's like asking how anything grows in Rorikstead. Continue!"

        "Not long after I moved into Rorikstead and worked at the Inn making treats like pies, cakes and such. After making friends with Twilight, AJ, Rainbow, Fluttershy and Rarity I started to go off on adventures more, as well as visit Solitude more often." Pinkie explained. It was at that point that she hatched an idea "Do you mind if I exit the room for a moment? I must speak with my Governer generals."

        "Very well, please don't take to long as I may kill your friends if I get too bored!" BloodHoof replied as Pinkie, Neloth and Scaleblade stepped out.

        "What is it?" Scaleblade asked

        "Do you two know of a spell of shout to telepathically speak with a pony, without others near them hearing the messege, like projecting it into their minds?" Pinkie asked.

        "There is no shout however Neloth here might know of a spell." Scaleblade replied.

        "It's a work in progress and I have never tried it before on ponies, most of my animal subjects went insane before committing suicide in the most horrific of ways," Neloth explained, putting a nervous expression on Pinkies face "A small few didnt go insane, however did lose a sense of some kind, mostly taste, sight and hearing."

        "Well... We're gonna have to risk it... Here's the plan, I'll need you to project it into Rarity's mind..." Pinkie began.

        -Thalmor Docks-

        Paarthunax and Odahviing landed a short distance away from the Stormcloak ships. As the archers began to draw there bows Paarthunax spoke "Sheath your weapons, we are Paarthunax and Odahviing. We serve Governer General Scaleblade."

        They withdrew their bows "Friggen mortals." Odahviing muttered.

        -Thalmorian royal bedroom-

        Pinkie, Neloth and Scalenlade entered the room again. Rarity got the message as they were outside "Ah, Empress were back! What did you have to talk about with your generals?" Emperor BloodHoof asked.

        "Nothing much, just... taking notes on your behavior." Pinkie noted the odd way that she was having a conversation with her enemy.

        "Ah what have you gathered so far?" The emperor was distracted. As he continued to converse with Pinkie, Neloth looked to Rarity who in turn winked at him. Then she quickly bucked BloodHoof in the face.

        When she did that the Thalmor guards aimed right at her but before they could attack Neloth and Scaleblade had them skewered on ice spikes in the wall. Now the plan was done, the king was injured and unable to move, guardless as well as having Rarity and Ink-Wing freed.

        "Well. I new by the end of today I'd die." The King stated. His left eye gushing blood.

        " You have slaughtered, imprisioned, tortured and slaverized my people and for that you will pay,"Pinkie looked at him withe a look that could peirce the very soul "You have not hurt me personally, however young Ink-Wing here was orphaned thanks to you and Saleblades family taken away. Nopony has mor right to kill you than them so i'll allow them."

        Scaleblade than allowed Ink-Wing to help hold his blade as the two beheaded the king. So ended the battle of the Thalmorian palace.

Speaking with Insanity

        -Dwemmer Deadraferium Room-

        Pinkie and her friends were getting ready to activate the machine. Ink-Wing had told Pinkie the basic controls and she was ready to turn it on at any moment. She had to make sure that everypony present was okay with it first.

        "Okay, when I pull this lever, we will all become face to face with Sheogorath. I need to make sure everypony is okay with that." Pinkie shouted.

        "Whatever will get us home." Twilight replied.

        "A-as long as I'm not hit with the wabbajack again." Fluttershy hid behind her shield.

        "I worship the guy! So it would be a treat to see him!" Scaleblade happily announced.

        "He can't be too bad, I mean the Thalmor are probably worse for torture." Rarity commented.

        Pinkie then nodded and checked the settings again. It was set to go to oblivion, specifically right beside Sheogorath in whatever plane he may be in. She then pulled the lever. The machine than began to spur to life. Lights blinked, bobbers bobbed and spinners span. Than two large lightning bolts hit the floor as something unexpected happened.

        -Thalmor Docks-

        Odahviing was waiting for something however he didn't know what. Paarthunax just told him to wait for "it" to happen. He had waited for over an hour now and nothing happened. Dragons were usually patient beings, due to the fact they were partially immortal. However waiting for something hedidn't  even have a clue to as what it was was excruciating.

        He had started to converse with a soldier on one of the boats Pinkie's army arrived on when he heard a blast. He looked over to see that half the city was leveled and the sky was changing colors. Finally the skyr had settled on its regular blue however there was a noticeable time warp essence leading to the palace.

       "Paarthunax is that..." Odahviing began.

       "What we were waiting for? Yes! Now..." Paarthunax added a dramatic pause "...we wait!"

       "WHAT THE FU-"

       -Dwemmer Deadraferium-

       Instead of being in Oblivion the group was still in the Dwemmer Deadraferium room... or what was left of it as the result of using the machine ended with tearing half the city down, including the room. But rather being transported away, a being was transported to them.

       Standing in front of Pinkie was a human, wearing red and purple stripped pajamas with a matching night cap. In his right arm he held a brown teddy bear "WHO DARES AWAKE THE PRINCE OF MADNESS FROM HIS SLUMBER?!?!?!" He screamed with a deep voice as smoke spilled out of his ears and nose "Oh, and Mr.Pizzamuffin." He than smiled at his teddy bear.

       "Ahem, I am Empress Pinkamena Diane Pie of the Stormcloaks and I have summoned you here to Nirn to answere some of my questions." Pinkie announced.

       "Wait I'm on Nirn? Wow! I haven't been here in a while! You know since the whole oblivion crisis thing and us princes have been completely banned. Well I guess I'm in your debt empress," He bowed than checked over his outfit "Oh my! I guess I must change into some good clothing! Not my casual attire dear no! I'll be back!"

       With that Sheogorath was gone. Pinkie pulled the lever again to re-summon him. Pulled it back than forth once.

       No Sheogorath.

       She readied and pulled the lever again.

       No Sheogorath.

       One more time, maybe the machine was being slow?

       No Sheogorath.

       Getting impatient she quickly slammed the lever form one side to the other. Only to come to the disappointing result of having no Sheogorath. Pinkie turned around and hung her head low "Im sorry girls, I guess were stuck here fore-" pinkie was then interrupted my maniacal laughter echoing through the room. However the sound itself semed to be coming from the groups noses. When it finally stopped a multitude of colored lightning bolts struck from the sky to the machine causing a small fire, which released an extremly larg amount of pinkish greenish smoke, to form. When the fire died out the group saw only one figure. Sheogorath.

        "Toldya I'd be back!" Sheogorath smiled. He now wore a grey tee which had a non-colored picture of Rainbow Dash with the word "BRONY" above it. He was also wearing cargo shorts and a utility belt which held miniature plastic dolls of the mane six, however having two versions of Twilight, an Alicorn and a Unicorn. As well as Celestia and Luna.

        He soon noticed them looking oddly at his attire "What? Let a man wear what he wants." Sheogorath crossed his arms.

        "Sheogorath, I have... knowledge that you know of Equestria, My home." Pinkie explained.

        "Yes, I watch the show, manage an account on Fimfiction.net, heck I've even stolen the TARDIS to watch seasons four five and six." Sheogorath explained.

        "Uh... No... I meant you have first hand knowledge on Equestria. In fact you have a contact or friend there." Pinkie was hinting to something.

        "Continue." Sheogorath was interested. He knew exactly what Pinkie was leading to. The ultimate reason why she wanted to speak with him.

        "Well when I came here I already had a well kept bank of knowledge on the history of Nirn and Tamriel as well as how the politics worked," Pinkie explaiend "I attained this knowledge through a seemingly fictional set of stories known as the Adventures of Sir Cornwood and Ghum, the Magical Bunny Rabbit."

        Twilight's eyes went wide. She knew that book and exactly who wrote it. She never actually read it as per her bad relationship with the author. But kept copies of the series in her library "Pinkie you don't mean..."

        "Yes I do," Pinkie paused "That series was wrote by Discord, Chaotic god of Insanity. I quickly made the connection when I realized the series was all true. Discord, Chaotic god of insanity and Sheogorath, Deadric Prince of Insanity. You both rule the same domain but in different dimensions. Wat that means is you must have a way to move between or at least contact the planet of Equus."

        "Pinkie you have some valid evidence," Discord announced seeing the smirk grow on Pinkies face, only to be chopped down by what he said next "However you are wrong. I Sheogorath have never visited Equestria and have never seen or come into contact with Discord."

       "B-but... what? How could you not? All the evid-" Pinkie was interrupted.

       "Yeah? You know what I wanna say about the evidence? Your mom," Sheogorath sat down... On the wall and huffed but as soon as he did he got back up "You know what? I'll explain. How do I know of Equestria? Yes it is first hand knowledge however this physical body," he gets used to himself "Has never seen the likings of that land. This is actually a well kept seceret between Insanity lords. We all share one collective mind. That's right. One mind, many bodies. So my mind itself, which we will refer to as Bob, is like the changling hive mind. Bob controls all the bodies of Gods of insanity across the multi-verse. Making them insane but different form each other as disagreeing with his opinions as he makes them is insanity within itself. So as a collective mind all Bobs memories are stored together and mixed. So I get memories form Equus and Earth and many other planets."

        "So does that mean you can take us home?" Pinkie asked.

        "Sadly no. Only abiotic items can cross the inter-dimensional gap via my method. Anything that is or was alive will just go through a portal here and come through another one in the same dimension."

        Pinkie held her head low. Realizing she had gotten her friends stuck here. If she had listened to her Pinkie sense telling her to stop Twilight's experiment they wouldn't be stuck in this land. Pinkie was on the verge of tears, but before she could start weeping a voice called out for her.

The Ride Home

        Pinkie was startled by the voice but she soon easily recognized it "Yes Paarthunax?" The dragon was looking in from the gaping hole caused by summoning Sheogorath. He and Odahviing had watched the entire conversation "What do you need?"

        "I'm sure you have pressing matters to attend to as soon as you can in Cyrodiil. Me and Odahviing would be delighted to offer you rides home." Pinkie considered his offer. Dragon back riding was one of the fastest methods of transportation.

        "I guess a little dragon back riding couldn't hurt," Pinkie expressed "Alright I'll take you up on your offer," Finally she noticed the soldiers on both dragons backs "Whats with the soldiers?"

        "Protection, the skies above the Summerset channel are infested with bandits as I'm sure you know." Answered Odahviing.

       "What about me?" Sheogorath spoke up, somehow he miraculously changed into his 'casual' red and purple suit, with matching pants and of course his copy of the wabbajack "Is there no love for poor Sheogorath?"

       "Um, you can stay here and... be in charge of... cleaning this place up! Yeah!" Pinkie improvised a suitable punishment which he took as a treat.

       With that the group sorted themselves out and got on a dragon. Rainbow, Twilight, Fluttershy Applejack and Rarity were on Odahviing along with the guard. Pinkie, Neloth, Spike, Scaleblade, Ink-Wing and a chest of Scaleblades stolen goods form the palace were on Paarthunax. It wasnt long before the two took to the skies. The army ships saw this and started heading back for the mainland.

        Paarthunax took the lead as Odahviing only trailed back a ten or so meters. Twilight and Rarity had developed a game of I spy as they approached the coast of Valenwood. Soon the others joined in.

"Your turn Rainbow!" Hollered Twilight.

        "Alright... I spy, with my little eye something that is... Blue." Rainbow announced, resting her head of her right fore hoof.

        "Oh is it the water?" Twilight asked.

        "Gosh darn it Twilight, ya stole my guess!" Applejack slumped over.

        "Nope!" Rainbow replied, laughing at her friend bicker over an answer which was ultimately wrong "Guess again!"

        "The Sky?" Fluttershy pondered.

        "Closer... but not quite." Rainbow was smirking she glanced to her hoof and back up quickly.

        "Oh it's your coat dear!" Rarity lit up with pride, already knowing she was right.

        "Bingo!" Rainbow threw her hooves in the air "Now you Rare!"

        Rarity really liked the creativity of Rainbows idea so she tried to be creative as well "Why, I spy something Red!"

        Now the girls were stumped, They now flew over green forests, nothing red, a blue sky. Rarity new what it was as she was at the back and was the only one to see Odahviings scales, as well as the guard at the front.

        "The dragons scales!" The guard hollered. However his voice was familiar. He was covered head to hoof in light armor so they couldn't see who he was. It took a moment but Rainbow recognized him.

        "Invisible?" Rainbow was surprised that she didn't even recognize her own colt friend.

        "What a coincidence hey?" The stallion replied looking back finally and smiling.

        -Paarthunax-

        "Empress, don't give up." Scaleblade had been trying to cheer up Pinkie along with Ink-Wing, Neloth and Spike were taking a nap. She had entered a depressed state when she learned she could never return her friends home "If you and your friends found a way here I'm sure you can find a way back."

        "Maybe you could find another gem and use that!" Ink-Wing suggested.

        "No, that won't work. It needs to be the same gem, which is still in my home dimension and to make another with the same enchantment would just take us somewhere else. Truest movie tried." Pinkie replied. However this woke a question in Ink-Wing.

        "If you left, how did you come back?" Ink-Wing asked.

        "When the crystal burns, that is it moving for this dimension to another, however the crystal used to come here from my home was enchanted to not burn." Pinkie explained.

        Having made a couple valid points of information to support her, Ink-Wing and Scalebalde gave up on helping her and tried to identify where they were. Scalebalde saw what he assumed to be Kvatch and Anvil passing by, below on the ground.

        "Um your majesty, we'll be in the Imperial City any moment now." Scaleblade noted.

         Pinkie just replied with a nod as she plastered not her regular happy smile but more of a fake one similar to Princess Celestias. She slid off her armor which was sitting on top of her royal imperial robes. She was ready to greet her people.

         As they approached the city, Pinkie noticed a questionably large gathering of ponies in front of the White-Gold tower "Whats going on?" Pinkie questioned, maybe Scaleblade or Ink-Wing knew the answer but as soon as she asked it she saw what drew so much attention. She was surprized at who stood at the door, greeting her ponies.

The 15 Divines

        Pinkie was rushing through the crowd to the nine individuals gathering so much attention. Here friends were not to far behind. Still it was quite the struggle to try and move through the crowd. But who's to judge them. These beings haven't been here since the Merethic Era! Well except for one.

        Finally Pinkie was at the front of the adoring crowd as here eye where greeted by the sight of Nine alicorns, all well dressed and dawning crowns. A grey elderly looking, male alicorn, who must have been at least twice the size of Princess Celestia, noticed Pinkie and knelt down to speak with her.

        "Ah, you must be the amazing Empress I've heard so much about!" The stallion had a very kind voice "My name is Akatosh, these are my co-workers as you would say. This mare is Mara," he gestured to an alicorn with a great resemblance to Princess Cadence"This golden friend of ours is Talos," A stallion with a golden hue of fur "As well as Arkay and Zenithar," he gestured to another elderly alicorn with the same characteristics as Akatosh, as well as a younger looking, muscular stallion "Kynareth and Dibella," Pinkie was gestured to look at an alicorn mare, who's mane was the only one waving in the air, similar to princess Celestias. Dibella had a cream colored coat with a red purple and orange colored mane that had many decorative flowers in "Finally Stendar and Julianos" There was a large stallion with a hammer attached to a belt and Julianos was reading a book.

        Everypony was in awe. They didnt know how to react to having all nine devines visit them. Well Pinkie new how to react. In Tamrielic culture you only bow to those who are more important than yourself. The only Rank higher than Emporer or Empress was God. With that Pinkie bowed her head "My lords." With those words, the rest of the city bowed and did as Pinkie.

        "Rise, Pinkameana. As well as your friends," Akatosh spoke "Throughout your time in Tamriel you all rose the challeng and never stepped down. You set for yourselves a goal to return home. Pinkie because of your courageous actions taken today and throughout your adventure, we offer you the most valued gift amount mortals, Godhood. You, as well as your friends may join us in Atherious."

        Pinkie thought on his words and realized what he said didnt add up "Sorry Akatosh, but, what do you mean courageous? Today I lead an army of 20,000 not to a war, not a battle, a slaughtering. The Thalmorian city was only 250 stallions strong. They all died, Soldiers, Civilians and the King. The city population was 300 not including soldiers, we counted 515 dead bodies in the city. You wanna know my armies death toll? Five. Five died. Three because they got I'll on the way home. Basically I murdered 550 ponies. Families torn and its all my fault. I don't deserve godship."

        "Pinkie," Mara spoke up "Every last action you took in your time in Tamriel, including that battle, was for your friends. You became empress to gain enough power to pay the strongest mages to build a portal if possible just for them. You searched all of Tamriel and Tamrielic knowledge books just to find a way home for your friends. You took an army of 20,000 just to rescue your best friend. You are not worthy of divinity, but much, much more. You have laughed in the face of fear, doubt and even death. So an this day forth you will rule Tamriel alongside us as one of the new 15 Divines as Pinkamena, Goddess of Laughter."

        "Rarity, goddess of Generosity and Hospitality." Akatosh stated.

        "Rainbow Dash, goddess of Loyalty." Kynareth joined in.

        "Applejack, goddess of Honesty." Arkay hollered.

        "Fluttershy, goddess of Kindness, Peace and Tranquility." Julianos announced.

        "Last but definatly not least, Twilight Sparkle, goddess of Friendship." Akatosh finished and as he did, a light shot straight for the sun for the six mares. After a moment the light stopped and everypony could get a good look at the six new alicorns standing befor them. Each with a flowing mane just like Celestias or Luna's, as well as fitting divine outfits.

        "Now, I think you'd like to see where you'd be working." Akatosh stated as his horn shone bright and the 15 alicorns disappeared.

        "Um... Where did they go?" Scaleblade looked around.

        -Atherious-

        The land of the gods wasnt anything the girls imagined. It was like Canterlot palace except multiple palaces. Each different depending on the god who resides there. However Pinkie only saw nine for the nine preexisting gods.

        "Pinkie," Akatosh spoke to the now Alicorn Pink pony "I know you'd prefer getting your friends home to being divine. I also know that you don't want to go with them. However this is tearing you apart. You can't live life happily with out the smiles of your friends however ever since you came to rule you want to do your duty as empress. To do one means to abandon the other."

       "I feel the need to rule Tamriel. Without it, I don't matter. I'm nopony famous at home. But if my friends are stuck here they're unhappy and I'm unhappy if they're unhappy. Then if they do go home and I don't go with them how am I to make them feel better when they are sad? What positive influence will I have on them?" Pinkie sighed "I wish I could be in both places."

       After just trying to comfort his new fellow divine, Akatosh had an epiphany. Pinkie couldn't be in two places at once. But she can move between places "I'll be back in a second, Ive got something to do." Akatosh trotted away."

       -Stormcloak Throneroom-

       The Governer generals plus spike had started a moot as they decided Pinkie probably wasnt coming back. However they meet a very important problem. Every Governer general nominated themselves for Emporer. Heck, even spike got a slice of it.

       They were now in the middle of a drinking contest. So far it was down to the Governer Generals of Skyrim, Morrowind, Black Marsh, Elswyr and most importantly spike. That is until Akatosh appeared in the middle of the room.

       "Uhhhhhh... Im seeing d-divines again. I'm sooooooo drunk." Stated the Governer General of Black Marsh.

       "Put your drinks down you fools!" Akatosh demanded "I need your help moving this." He conjured a what looked like a Divine Shrine. It was a golden hexagon with Six gems in the corners and the center. It was the depiction of the Elements of harmony from a foals story book.

       "Whu-What if I don't want to?" Scaleblade spoke up.

       "Scaleblade, why in oblivion wouldn't you want to help a divine." Akatosh looked at him with a blank expression.

       "Because you wish bish a bonny fish!" Scaleblade started laughing hysterically.

       "Just get over here and help me or none of you get to be Emperor!" With that, those who were still conscious got up and started moving the shrine. Neloth and Scaleblade lifted it up as high as they could via magic, which wasnt much, and to move it the Governer Generals of Elswyr and Blackmarsh pushed it so it would move. Spike was going to make sure it didn't fall over but then he passed out.

       -Stromcloak Royal Bedroom three hours later-

       The four drunk stallions finally managed to get the Shrine to where it was supposed to be. Extremely tired, all four passed out as soon as it was set down. Akatosh softly facehoof as he began to get a spell ready. Soon his horn flared with a very powerful light. It was almost blinding. The light soon enveloped the room and as it did a very loud boomcould be heard. However not to long after he started the spell did it end. And six Alicorn mares were standing in the room.

       "Akatosh? Why did you bring us to my Bedchambers?" Pinkie questioned.

       "After what you told me about how you felt about the current situation I felt the need to help you. This Shrine? It's dedicated to all six of you. If anypony else touches it they will receive the blessing of all of you, however if you touch it, you, and whomever you may choose, will freely pass between Nirn and your home," The Akatosh watched as Pinkie had the biggest smile cross her face "However I'll be sending you back I time a minute after you arrived here so you won't be missed there. Also the immortality and immunity only protects you when you are in Nirn. You will be very susceptible to death and illness when you return unless you have something there providing you with Immortality."

      Pinkie lunged at Akatosh wrapping her forelegs and embracing him in a tight hug "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!!!!" Pinkie screamed in her usual happy tone that she's known (in Equestria) for.

      "It's quite alright!" Akatosh patted her back "But now, I beleive you have toget home!"

      "Wait, how do we make spike come with us?" Twilight asked.

      "Just empty your mind and focus completely on the pony or a being you want to bring with you. When you touch the shrine they will cross dimensions as well." Akatosh Replied.

      "Thanks for everything!" Pinkie thanked again "We'll be back!"

      "Oh I know that!" Akatosh waved as the six touched the Shrine and the room was enveloped Ina bright light once more. When the light died down, the girls were gone.

      -Twilight's Bedroom a week and a half ago-

      Pinkie and her fiends were home again. And back to their original state. Twilight was still an alicorn but the others were their respective original races. Where the crystal that transported them to nirn once was now stood a replica of the Shrine to all of them in the White-Gold tower.

      The first one to remove their hoof from the Shrin was Pinkie. She began kissing the floor than jumping up in joy "Yay! This means we can through a welcome home from a another dimension party for ourselves!" Pinkie hollered pulling out her party cannon, than she looks at you the reader "And I can break the fourth wall again! WOOOOOHOOOOOO!"

      Twilight smiled as she was happy to finally see the Pinkie she new "Well! That was enough research. On crossing dimensions for me! How about you girls?" Twilight asked, but with no reply. Pinkie left instantly to probably invite guests for her party and bake a cake. However her four other friend were frozen in there spots out of confusion. Twilight followed their gaze and shouted "What?!?!" As she saw not just a sleeping baby dragon, but two unconscious stallions. Oh my.

Stormcloak spy, Disguised as a Thalmor Spy

        "Alright, Now you look like an everyday Thalmor spy!" Ink-Wing stated, finishing the Thalmor robes on rarity "Now just act like a big jerk and you'll fit in nicely. Keep your manors, but still be a jerk."

        "I think while I'm down there I'll speak with the designer of these drab rags." Rarity stated.

        "Now Rarity, the Dwemer machine is in the lowest level of the palace, which we estimate goes under ground forty to seventy levels," Ink-Wing explained "When your ready just ask Sparkling Star to teleport you into the palace."

        -Stormcloak Throne Room-

        "Ah don't know Pinkie. Ya sure this is a good idea sendin Rarity to them Thalmor guys?" Applejack looked upon the Imperial mare.

        "Applejack you have no need to worry, unless Thalmor spies have infiltrated the palace,"

        "We'll if you say so."

        -Thalmorian Throne Room-

        King BloodHoof was sitting on his throne, looking quite bored. Today was one of those days. Nothing interesting from the spies he had scattered all over Tamrial and parts of Akavir. The royal court of the Thalmorian Empire was only held every other day, not today. No Events of interest had been going on.

        A maid entered the room. She turned to the king and bowed "My king, the cleaning of the royal bedroom is complete and has met a satisfactory level by your royal judge. I have also come to take your order for today's lunch."

        "Thank you, I'll take three grilled cheese sandwiches, two pots full of tomato soup, four egg white omelettes with argonian pepper and a few pitchers of orange juice." The maid quickly wrote this down and ran off.

        She along with twenty other servants brought out the royal feast. BloodHoof poored himself a large bowl of soup first. Dipping the grilled cheese in and like always when the King ate grilled cheese, he wondered how the food was made.

        As he was making his way to the omelettes, a cloud of golden smoke infiltrated the palace and manifested into a letter before his eyes. Snatching it with his magic he quickly read the letter. As he did he grew a smile.

       "So, her majesty is sending a spy to get the Dwemmer artifact?" The King started on an evil chuckle "Maid! Alert all guards of a miss 'Rarity' disguised as one of my spies. Tell the guards to take her prisnor, not to kill her. Oh I have a very special plan for her..."

       -Stormcloak Mages quarters-

       "Sparkling Star? Get over here I'm ready to go, and make it snappy," Rarity demanded with a smirk "What do you think of my Thalmor impression? Oh, and don't take it personally, just practicing!"

       "It sounds pretty good to me!" Sparkling commented "Okay now when I teleport you, it may sting."

       With that a bolt of lightning shot at Rarity rendering her unconscious as to which Sparkling smirked "Stupid Stormcloak." With that he opened a portal and pushed her limp body through. A moment after the portal closed however, Empress Pinkameana entered the room "My Empress!"

       "Is Rarity off? I should send her a letter right away to make sure she is alright." Pinkie suggested.

       "Buy what if she is in a room with other Thalmor? They may see the letter if you send it to her!" Sparkling informed her "Maybe we should wait until she sends a letter to us."

       "Ah, smart thinking, we don't want to blow her cover!" With that pinkie left the room as Sparkling breathed a sigh of relief.

       -White-Gold Tower-

       Twilight, Flutterhsy, Applejack and Scaleblade were eating their dinner in the main dining room of the palace. It was mainly just salad with chopped up carrots, Strawberries and Honey Dijon dressing. But the four seemed to enjoy it all the same.

       "So, where are the others?" Scaleblade asked.

       "We'll I'd assume Rarity would be in Summerset by now, gods be with her, Pinkie was just asking sparkling how the teleport spell went then returned to paper work and Rainbow went to explore the city," Twillight explained "She went with that InvisibleScale stallion."

       "Now, I don't know about y'all but I've been seein how she been eyein him." Applejack stated.

       "Yeah, and I've also seen the way he's been checking her out," Scaleblade announced "I think that cuz he was raised by argonians, he has a thing for them."

       "W-well I d-don't know much ab-bout this Invisible guy but he seems n-nice enough," Fluttershy managed to say "Th-they might make a g-good couple."

The End

        -Stormclaok Royal Bedroom, When the mane six left-

       "Thanks for everything!" Pinkie thanked again "We'll be back!"

       "Oh I know that!" Akatosh waved as the six touched the Shrine and the room was enveloped Ina bright light once more. When the light died down, the girls were gone. Then the room door opened, revealing an Alicorn with a long flowing mane. Pink coat and Mane.

       "Am I gone? You know, me from the past?" Pinkie asked.

       "Yes, her and her friends," Akatosh replied "I hope your right about this."

       "Trust me. Your gonna need us."

       -Sugar-cube Corner, after the Welcome Home Party-

       Pinkie walked into her room and locked the doors. She had something that was more important to her than the elements of harmony. Her Diary. Setting it on a desk Pinkie sat down with a pencil and began to write.

       "Dear Diary,

This past week and a half I guess here its only been a day. This past day has been exhausting. Physically and mentally. I learned how I should be thankful of my life here and how much I have. I also learned that when a pony is given power. It shows their true selves (BTW Im a very good pony!). I guess I should put that in a Friendship report. You I can poor all my thoughts into. Today I ventured of into another universe and became empress. I was a good empress not to harsh... at least to my subjects. Weather or not it was a dream I beleive it. I guess for me a double life will be good. I'm not famous here at all. Twilight is a Princess, Dashies a Wonderbolt, Rarity is starting to hit it big in Canterlot, Fluttershy is an Animal Extraordinaire known across Equestria and Applejack's apples are shipped everywhere. I'm just Pinkie Pie the local party planner, but there I'm Pinkameana Diane Pie, Empress of Tamriel. I guess I'll check in later when I have something to talk about. Untill than I'll keep being me and be happy about it.

        Syncerly,

        Party Planner and Empress,

        Pinkamena Diane Pie

To be continued...
