The Elder Scrolls: Equestria

  The next day I was pacing around the headquarters as Luna so "excellently" titled it. Now that she had revealed to me that Alduin had returned and is here in Equestria, there were problems afoot. I needed to prepare and I needed to locate him before he could reach Canterlot or any other important surrounding cities. Luna had told me about the Elements of Harmony, but I told her they would be useless against a dragon.

  The Elements may be able to damage him, but he cannot be reformed to "good". Dragons are not like that, well at least the Dragons on my world. Princess Luna explained to me there was dragons on their world as well and what she told me about them, they were nothing like the Dov on my world. Rather than flying around minding their own business, they preferred to stay in dark and large caves in mountains. In those caves, they would hoard gold, jewels, pearls and many other riches. Those were Dragons, but not Dov.

"Hello." I heard a warm, soft voice break me from my thoughts. I quickly spun around and saw a pony in golden regalia, completely opposite from Luna. Her coat - I learned it's not skin, just really short fur - was a pearly white and shined in the early sun's light. Her body was covered by a white long gown-dress hybrid that came down to her hooves. The gown was slightly transparent, but I paid no attention to that.

  Similar to Princess Luna, her long, luxurious mane was seemingly ethereal and flowed and wave in a non-existing wind that I still questioned. Unlike Luna's midnight mane, her mane was comprised of multiple bright colors. Soft, light shades pink, green, blue and purple. Her bright, violet eyes shimmered in the morning sun and seemed to drain the worries from me as if it was magic.

"You must be Princess Celestia." I greeted.

"I am. I assume my sister, Luna had told you about me then?" She asked, crossing her arms.

"Yes, she did. By the way, for sisters, you look nothing alike. Polar opposites" I stated, causing her to giggle lightly.

"I know this well, but that was out of my hands, I'm afraid." It was my turn to chuckle at some humor. As I chuckled at her joke, I did not see her face turn more serious and dark. "Now that we met Dovahkiin, it is time for more pressing matters. The Dragon that appeared in Appleloosa razed the entire town without mercy. Why?" She questioned.

"His name is Alduin. He is a no mere Dragon, Princess. He-"

"Just call me Celestia." She interrupted. I looked at her. "Sorry, continue."

"Alright. As I was saying, he is a Dovah in the language of Dragons."

"They can speak?"

"Yes. In fact, they possess a whole entire language much different than our own. Alduin wants all other creatures who are not Dov dead. Dov means dragon, by the way. And he also wants me. I was the one to vanquish him but as I learned, I did not defeat him. I merely cast him away in the currents of time where he's bound to appear again. To prevent this, I must enter a time rift and defeat him there, forever trapping his soul in a cage he cannot escape from."

"But that is suicide. No mere mortal can live through the currents of time." I smirked under my armor.

"I'm no mere mortal, Celestia. But before I can go ahead and start attempting to fight him, I need to locate him."

"It will not be easy. I will have to send Pegasi Search Teams out and have them scavenge the entire land. You do realize, Dovahkiin, this could easily take weeks?"

"No, no. He's going to be in some type of mystical ruins where he can keep himself powered and at full strength at all times. Know any of the sort, Celestia?"

"Only one. The old castle ruins in the Everfree Forest, near Ponyville. My sister and I used to rule from there, but since the Nightmare Moon event, we relocated and build Canterlot."

"Then we need to go there immediately."

"Right away. I'll get a chariot and we can fly there." I nodded in response as she walked away, exiting the room. I was left along with my thoughts once more. The longer I stayed here in Equestria, the worse things become. I need to end this before I cause the destruction of an entire kingdom. She returned moments later. "We're ready."

"Let's go." She then led me to a balcony where a golden chariot drawn by Pegasi awaited. I questioned how they could hold me and Celestia together, but to my surprise they did it flawlessly. My armor was roughly 81 pounds every piece included and my Battleaxe was thirty pounds so together: my equipment weighed one hundred and one pounds. Now, what about my actual body weight?

I was roughly, in total, nearly three hundred pounds. Not much could make me stagger to say nothing of the word I had meditated on with Paarthurnax. It was strong and heavy, making me the ultimate foe. Not even the Ebony Warrior could best me in combat. He was tough, but not tough enough to defeat me. Anyways, we arrived in the quaint town of Ponyville around forty five minutes later. As we arrived, all ponies were bowing at the sight of Princess Celestia.

"At ease, my little ponies."

"Princess Celestia!" I heard a feminine voice from behind Celestia. As she turned, I noticed six ponies in different sets of clothing and colors walking up to her. The one in front I noticed the first was lavender and possessed wings and a horn like Luna, Cadence and Celestia but yet, she stayed in this small town. I was unsure why.

"Hello, Twilight and friends." She greeted with a warm smile.

"Princess, why are you here? Not to sound rude of course." She asked.

"There is a great evil that is near here. In fact, it is the Everfree Forest in the old castle ruins where Luna and I had stayed for a long time until her banishment. Oh yes, meet Dovahkiin. He is here to defeat this evil. The beast that threatens Equestria is from Dovahkiin's world."

"Wait, so you're not from Equestria?" A cyan, rainbow-haired one asked.

"No. I come from the land of Tamriel. It is a land much unlike this world, but yet it is similar. Anyways, we must not waste any more time, Princess. For the sake of your world, show me the way to the ruins before we find out Alduin is there and becomes fully powered."

"Yes, you're right. Follow me."

  She then lead Dovahkiin through the town as they approached the forest. As they neared the forest, they passed by a house which was revealed to be a yellow Pegasus' house. Her name was Fluttershy. Her name fit her personality well, but I questioned it. How would they know she was timid when she was born and then named? It may be a title.

  I was quickly broken from my thoughts as we stepped close to the large forest. In the forest, I could feel a large source of Magicka pouring from the area. The Magicka was black as night and felt unwelcoming, but not dangerous. Almost if it was a warning to stay out. Possibly a Fear spell. I could tell this as I looked back at the ponies. Even in Celestia's aged eyes, I could see a tint of fear but I wondered, what could she have to fear?

"Wish me good luck." I quipped before I ran into the forest. I realized without a map or directions I would never find my way. I could still hear them yelling for me, which meant they had some tips for me. Shit.

I was not worried however. When it came to being Dragonborn, I always made sure I was prepared. As I grew wiser and stronger with age, I soon began thinking of tactical approaches to combat. I loved overpowering my enemies, but what if brawn would not win a battle? Legendary Dragons were no push-overs, they were feared by many for good reasons. Before I continued running, I stopped for a brief moment, raising my hand as a light blue energy began swirling around it.

This was Clairvoyance. A simple Illusion spell I learned ages ago. It came in handy in dungeons and mines, but I found myself rarely using it though. My brain is usually clear, unless I've ingested a lot of Mead or Sleeping Tree Sap, but that's besides the point.

As I had cast it, a blue line of energy had formed on the ground. This small line would show me my way. I began following it for about three minutes until the forest opened up, revealing the aged ruins of a large castle. Moss and overgrowth covered the ruins, causing it to nearly impossible to enter but my trust Battleaxe would shatter it like glass.

I then took a good swing at the wall but a large chunk of rock blasted out in front of me, sending me away into a tree before I could strike the castle. I barely felt it but the chunk did. As I impacted the tree and it impacted me, it shattered - like I said - glass. I brushed off the dust and ran into the castle through the hold. There was no Alduin, but there was something different. Much different.

A beautiful woman in black and red robe-like clothing was there, laying on the ground. She began to stir awake, rubbing her head in pain. Her skin was as pale as the bones of a skeleton as her soulless red eyes glew with a dark, eerie aura many people feared. Her dark brown hair came down her neck and was braided around the top, seemingly almost royal.

This was Serana, a ancient  Vampire. She had became my ally when I needed to defeat Lord Harkon, her father and another ancient pure blood Vampire. He had threatened to take out the sun with a mythical weapon known as Auriel's Bow. I later helped her cure her vampirism. It was strange at first, but she was glad to be "alive" again.

"Oh, my head." She groaned, rubbing her aching head.

"Serana?" I questioned, sheathing my battleaxe behind me.

"It's you! Um..."

"I never told you my name."

"Yeah."

"Just call me Dovahkiin."

"Alright, Dovahkiin. Where am I? Last I remember, I was in Fort Dawnguard exploring. I turn a corner as I'm blinded by a bright light and then I end up here.

"It's a bit odd, but we're in a place called Equestria. It's nothing like Tamriel. There are no hostile creatures and there are no Men, Mer or creatures of any sort. There are only ponies, as they're called.. But they do possess magic. So, want to get out of here?"

"Yeah, I'd love to get out of here. I've spent my fair share in the darkness and I've had enough of it."

Following the path I had quickly memorized as I walked through it, we finally exited the forest and stepped out into the sun. As we did, Serana put on her hood to cover her vampiric skin from being burned from the sun's bright and lethal rays but she then remembered she was no longer a vampire and put it off, sighing out of relief with a smile. I never understood why the sun was bad for Vampires. I had even asked her before she was cured, but she was unsure why it was a weakness.

We finally returned to the village where I noticed many ponies cheering for me as I returned. As we returned, the two Princesses and those six ponies walked over to me. As they approached, they noticed the girl in dark clothing next to me but they did not stop their cheering.

"Dovahkiin, you return. Did you find Alduin?" Princess Celestia asked.

"No. He was not there, but I did find an ally. This is Serana. Apparently, she was teleported here as well. I'm not sure what kind of forces, but we'll worry about that later. In the meantime, I can safely say Ponyville will be find for the time being but I fear eventually Alduin will appear in our darkest hour."

"I'm sure he will. Dovahkiin, I have decided to let you leave the castle and learn more about Equestria. I've decided it would be best if you stayed with my prized student, Twilight Sparkle and her friends. Is this okay with you?"

"Sure, I'm fine with it. But I will require a place of residence to stay and rest."

"Of course. That is why I shall be providing you a house that I've purchased for you. Twilight, will you show Dovahkiin his new house?"

"Yes, Princess Celestia. Follow me, you two." I nodded and followed the perky, purple pony as she led me to my new residence here in Ponyville. As we walked, we passed by many ponies who, unlike I originally thought, waved to me with smiles. I responded back, glad to see they were not afraid of me.

A few moments later, we stood in front of a large-sized house. Pale blue in color, the trim was white and complimented the blue well. We entered the building and found it to be quite large and featured many nuances that aided the house's charm.

"Well, here you go. Here's your house key, Dovahkiin." I took the small, silver key and placed it in my knapsack. "There is one bedroom, one bathroom, a big kitchen, a decent dining room and as you can see, a big living room. I took it in my responsibility to fill this bookshelf with many books that you can entertain yourself with. Hope you two have fun." She said with a sly smile as she exited.

"Wait a minute, was she just getting at what I think she was getting at?"

"Most likely." I lightly chuckled a moment later. "Not even here for three day and I've already got me a house. It took me a week before Jarl Balgruuf gave me permission to purchase a house in Whiterun. Get comfy, Serana. From what I know, we won't be getting back to Skyrim for a long time."

"That's fine. Plus, it'll be nice to get away from Skyrim for a little bit. This can be a nice vacation." She claimed.

"Sure."

"Plus, all that cold weather was really starting to bother me anyway." She added.

"Wait, you resist he cold."
