Button and the End
3: The Jarl Does Not
Previous ChapterNext ChapterButton wakes up, only this time in in a very comfy chair. He looked over to see people talking. One of the ponies looked back at him, and drew his sword.... With a hoof? He had a sort of bracelet on that let him hold a sword with a circular opening in the bracelet. In the other hand was a shield, held by the same thing, only the opening was in front. "You there!" He speaks, in a somewhat loud voice. The others turned around to look. One of the ponies was in a brown robe, another in a regal cape, and there was Rod and Nod. They approached me. The one with the unsheathed sword stepped aside, as the regal caped one went forward, smile on his face. "Hello, we have been waiting to talk to you. Now, before any of this starts, I shall introduce myself. I am jarl of this fair city. Who are you?"
"Button Mash."
"Well Button Mash, what has brought you here?" The jarl stood forward, a curious look on his face. But that was the thing. Button didn't know.
"... I don't know... That's the thing." Button stated, a bit more heavy hearted. Great. He was standing next to the jarl of a hold, and he couldn't even say what province of Tamneighel he was from, in this darn city.
"Sire! A dispatch of troops in Whiterun was sent to Riverwood! We think there might be an attack!" A guard rushed up to then, a worried expression was formed through his helmet. Great. He had no idea what to say, in this darn WAR-BOUND city. his day is going fine dandy.
"What? Well anyway, it appears we have pressing matters. But you ARE a skilled warrior. Here, we had our smiths forge some armor for you out of the Wither Skeletons you killed. It is the finest armor." Out came a black bone suit, where you could still see the bones stretching out, but melded together to fit Button Mash, and where there were lines in the armor, a purple aura came out. 'Oohhh, I get it. Wither armor is daedric armor! Wait, that means that is the best armor in the game right there!' Button exclaimed in his head. But following that, there came a Wither sword, one of the hoof bracelets to hold it in your hooves. Then a Wither shield, and it's respective bracelet. He put his gear on, and then he looked through a mirror. No longer was Button Mash standing there, but a tall black stallion, that looked like his ribs poked outward. although, there were engravings everywhere on the armor, and there was the purple aura flowing out in between the ribs and the rest of the armor. "now, there is a dragon alert. The Ender Dragon has destroyed Helgen, and we are now looking for an artifact called the 'Dragonstone'. Now, we believe it is in a dungeon called Bleak Falls Barrow, but it's flooded with puzzles that we can't understand and drauger. If you can retrieve it, then we can overlook your strange appearance. " The jarl finished. But then, Button realized what was important to him in his current scenario.
"Hold up. I need to go to the end, and find my marefriend." Button stated.
"Hold up... your marefriend died, went to the end, and you want to go after her? Unless you can find a way to chase the Ender Dragon back there, you have no chance. We may be able to help you once we know more about what is happening." The jarl finished, calmly, but with a tone of displeasure. Dead?
"No. A Wither skeleton took her. There were 8 back where I was, not 7. But if you can help me with it, I'll get the Dragonstone for you." Button calmly, swiftly stated. He was not in the mood to have to roll play his way, but he guessed he'll have to.
"So it is a deal?"
"Deal."
Sweetie rubbed her head, and looked up. She was in a warped cage, made of a black bone. She looked around, gaining consciousness, and stood up. She was in a sort of ragged robe. However, she was in a black, tall spire-looking thing, and she did not like it. Somepony in glass armor with a blue, flowing mane, and a blue coat, who was unlocking the door using what looked like a key with a skeleton face on the back. She recognized the mark of the night on her flank. "P... Princess Luna?" Sweetie muttered. Luna looked up from her work and saw Sweetie Belle conscious.
"Sweetie! Thank my sister you are ok. This was my fault for putting you and Button in here, now I will get you out. Currently, your parents think you and Button are dead. Your bodies in Equestria have stopped breathing..." Luna was able to say in her rushed, busy form.
"WHAT?" Sweetie stated, but not raising her voice, knowing that what Luna was doing required concentration.
"Do not worry, your colt friend is on his way. He is in Falkreath. Soon, he will meet Dovahkiin in Bleak Falls Barrow. You are in the End, or in regular Skyrim it is known as Sovinguard. Come child." Luna stated as she finished unlocking her bony cell. " have much to discuss." So Sweetie stepped out of her cell and towards Luna. but before she grasped her hoof in forgiveness, she needed an answer.
"You said this is your fault. Why are we here?" Sweetie said, pulling her hoof away.
"Yes, you do deserve the answer. Although this is a REALLY stupid answer, please do not hate me." Luna stated, fearing the filly's wrath once she knew the truth. But she told her anyways. Once Luna was done, Sweetie stood there stunned, blistering with fury.
".... I saw my sister get killed, and now my colt friend is risking his life to save me all because HE BEAT YOUR BUCKING TIME IN DEFEATING THE ENDER DRAGON?!?! WHAT THE BUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!??!?!" Sweetie Belle shouted, at the top of her lungs.
"well, and I was partly possessed by a Zargo-pony spell, but yeah." Luna said, hesitating to see Sweetie's reaction.
"...Fine, apology take-" Before she could take the hoof, Luna's horn glowed red. In that split second, she saw it again. The bloody, no-eyed Luna. But it was gone as fast as it came. Before she knew it, she shook Luna's hoof.
"Good, let's get going." Luna stated, a smile either from the apology or that she fell into her trap.
