Alduin's Wrath

Twilight finished explaining all that she knew about Equestria, which was a lot. Alduin stared at her with both confusion and disbelief.

"Ruth daar duraal lein... Faal Dovahkiin fen biis..." Alduin cursed under his breath.

"What was that?" Twilight asked, hoping for a translation.

"Nothing... (Nothing that you want to know anyway)" Alduin replied, but Twilight didn't seem satisfied with this answer.

"If you don't mind my asking... What language do you keep switching to?" Twilight asked, and Alduin knew that this might be a mistake, but he needed to gain these creature's trust in order to complete his plans.

"I speak in my native tongue... I speak in Dovah." Alduin replied, but this only left them confused. "You mean the dragons here to do not speak in our way?" Alduin questioned, and Spike shook his head.

"We don't speak... Doevuh?" Spike said, butchering the word.

"Dovah, which translated to your language means dragon." Alduin explained.

"I didn't understand a word you said before. That's why I left to go and get help." Spike said, but Alduin frowned.

"Strange... All Dovah from my land speak in our language... Then I suppose you cannot use the Thu'um... It is sad that our magic cannot be used by you." Alduin spoke, but Twilight moved closer to him.

"Did you say... Magic?" Twilight asked, which intrigued her.

"Yes. The Thu'um is a magic that Dovah are born with, only few races of man and other creatures can learn it... Those who do train for years upon years, and by the time they've mastered it... They will soon perish from old age. There is one mortal that can learn our language without training... The Dovahkiin." Alduin answered, but he turned his attention to four approaching figures. He narrowed his eyes as they moved towards them, while three appeared to be combinations of the unicorn and pegasus one was simply a unicorn.

"Oh, they've arrived! Alduin these are the three Princesses and my brother. They're very powerful ponies and each one serves a special purpose..." Twilight began, but Alduin started to back away with a scowl.

"You blasphemers! Lure me into a sense of security, trick me into lowering my defenses, then you bring your leaders to destroy me!" Alduin shouted, but before Twilight could object Alduin began to yell again. "Then know this, I will not die without a fight!" Alduin shouted in anger and fury while the four figures picked up their speed having noticed the tension.

"Wait...!" Twilight started to shout, but then noticed a glow in Alduin's mouth.

"Yol... Toor... SHUL!" Alduin shouted, causing a large stream of fire to launch towards them, they were engulfed in the flames and once Alduin stopped he let out a chuckle. He saw that there was a magical shield surround them, created by the white creature. "Your shield may strong, but you will tire eventually... I will wait..." Alduin said, staring at Twilight.

"Alduin wait! They weren't going to hurt you!" Twilight shouted, but Alduin shook his head.

"LIES! YOU SPEAK LIES! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!? THERE ARE THOUSANDS, IF NOT MILLIONS WHO WANT ME DEAD! HOWEVER THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE, FOR I AM IMMORTAL!" Alduin screamed at her, but Fluttershy flew out of the field and in front of his face.

"Mr. Alduin, please believe us. We don't want to hurt you. We just want to get to know you more... Please let us try... If you don't want us to then we'll leave you alone... Ok?" Fluttershy asked, and Alduin's expression seemed to soften... Before he snapped his jaws at the shy pegasus, missing her head by an inch. She let out a loud scream and flew back into the field, before cowering behind Rainbow Dash. Alduin began to slam his front legs against the field, but found that he could not shatter it.

"You are lucky my strength is weak. Or I would have destroyed this field within a matter of seconds..." Alduin said, glaring at the group of ponies, but the white creature moved forward.

"We are not here to harm you, but rather we would seek knowledge from you, we have never seen a dragon like yourself and we wish to learn." She said. Alduin seemed to think about this, for if this was a trap he would have to be constantly on guard.

"Hi kodaav ziik do kun... Nust aal tinvaak vahzen..." Alduin muttered, but he turned to face them. "Fine, however if I sense any form of hostility I will not hesitate to devour each of you..." Alduin looked at the white creature.

"Allow me to introduce us. I am Princess Celestia, I help to rule over Equestria. This is Luna, my younger sister, and Princess of the night. This is my niece Princess Cadance, she and Shining Armor rule over the Crystal Kingdom." She explained, and Alduin scoffed.

"I am Alduin..." The large dragon said, which seemed familiar to Luna, but she wasn't sure why. "You seek knowledge of my kind? Then question me." Alduin said, which meant that he was ready to begin.

"That fire you breathed, was that the Thu'um that you mentioned before?" Twilight asked, and Alduin shook his head.

"You have much misunderstanding... Dovah like myself do not breathe fire... We speak it. The word Thu'um translated into your language means 'voice'. Dovah speak certain words and they allow us to use the Thu'um." Alduin answered.

"So that means a fight between dragons..." Spike began.

"Is a deadly verbal debate." Alduin finished.

"When I first saw you, you were this black oil like stuff, what was that?" Spike asked, and Alduin cocked his head.

"My soul. If you have not gathered it by now I come from a different world, a world plagued with war. I was killed by the one I mentioned earlier, the Dovahkiin, or Dragonborn." Alduin said, but this only raised more questions.

"Why did he kill you?" Fluttershy asked, and Alduin knew that to earn these creature's trust he must use all of his deceit and lies.

"He was a race of man, a Nord. The races of man hate and fear us Dovah, as a result they started a war against us, and I was leading my people. However we were betrayed a Dovah named Paarthurnax assisted the races of man and taught them to use the Thu'um, which they used against us. I was sent into a different area of time by the power of an ancient relic known as an Elder Scroll. There I found that all my brethren had been wiped out, so using the Thu'um I raised them from the dead to finish our war with man. The Dovahkiin sought my destruction and stopped at nothing to end me, but only succeeded in destroying my physical form in Skyrim, where my soul escaped to this world." Alduin said, which shocked them.

"What is a Dragonborn?" Luna asked, and Alduin began to laugh.

"A mortal born with the soul of a Dovah, it allows them to learn and use the Thu'um without any previous training." Alduin answered, before they began to speak about each other's worlds trying to answer as many questions as possible.
