Even farther from home

'Well it seems a good first impression for the residents of...what was it? Ah yes, Ponyville, is no longer available... Hehe, though it is rather amusing to watch these ponies flee in terror. Wait is that one wearing armor? '

As the pony drew closer, it's armor appeared to be gold plated, covering the distance from its head to flank with a mohawk like structure adorning its helmet. The pony itself however was a unicorn displaying a stark white hide with a blue tail that matched its weird helmet.

"You, stop right there!" The pony guard yelled, while charging a dangerous looking spell on its horn.

'Ooh, even here they have guards? Who knew such an innocent looking place could have crime. Well since J'lae is a threat they might just kill me here to stop any damage that would come from me. If that is the case, J'lae might as well have a little fun.'

"I said stop! Come with me or I will forcibly contain you!" The guard's empty threats threw you out of thought.

"What does it matter? You will still sentence me to prison or death, is J'lae correct?" Your response obviously startled the guard who only showed fear for a split second. Whether it was for the fact that you could talk, or that you correctly guessed your unjust punishment.

"I will not ask again. Come with me or I wil-"

"Oh shut up already. you're starting to bore J'lae." The guard was not ready for your interruption and was taken aback. Seeing the surprise on his face, you let out a genuine laugh which startled him even more.

"Fine then! Prepare yourself!"

Recovering from your laugh. you barely had a chance to roll out of the way from a blast of magic. The onslaught did not stop there however as the guard kept charging up his horn with scorching magic.

'Hmm, these spells remind me of fire bolts, but with less fire... Well J'lae wonders if the schools of magic are the same if not similar here. Well J'lae never did like mages so he should just finish this.'

Dodging another attack, you rushed the guard and bashed your shoulder into his chest. The impact from your attack made a sizable dent to his chest plate and left him dazed.

' Perfect, now J'lae has ample time to transform.'

With that you focused your mind, letting the dormant beast inside of you awaken. As your mind became feral, your bones began to grow and morph into unnatural lengths. Muscle tore and reformed into devastating arms that could deal crushing blows. As your face morphed from feline to canine, your coat stayed the same midnight black while your eyes still held their ice blue color. With your transformation complete, you let out a bloodcurdling howl which only terrified the citizens of Ponyville  more. Seeing your "humble" transformation, the guard did not even try to continue the fight and fled with a speed that only pure fear could fuel.

'Ha! Another who can not appreciate glory, even if it howled in his face. Well, J'lae must find Twilight before completely losing control.'

With that you pounced into a sprint on all fours, heading east as Rarity said towards Twilight's home.

*********************************************************************

As the rest of the ponies witnessed the transformation of the monster in the plaza, Applejack was paralyzed in fear at seeing the familiar figure.

"C-could that really have been J'lae?" Applejack thought, "Him healing up so fast with that magic was enough to surprise us, not even the best doctors in Equestria are capable of that. And now he can turn into t-that thing? What is he? Wait a second, he was heading towards Twilight's place as that thing! I have to warn her!"

Startled at the new found revelation, AppleJack ran towards Twilight's place through the alleyways of the town to reach her faster than J'lae. "What is he gonna do at Twilight's place? He wouldn't hurt her would he? Or maybe even..." With the new thoughts in mind, Applejack quickened her pace to protect her friend.

**********************************************************************

'Finally here.'

Observing the place Twilight called home, it would seem as if it was carved from a tree and served as the town library.

'Hmm, such interesting creatures these ponies are. Well J'lae should transform back as to not scare her.'

Calming your mind and body, the beast within you once again fell dormant. As your bones and muscle reversed back to normal, a soothing sensation fell upon you as you gained complete control over your mind again. Even your tunic and pants were still intact, though how this was possible always perplexed you. Regaining your senses, you walked to the door and gave three solid knocks. A few seconds passed before you could hear Twilight respond.

"I'm coming, please hold on."

Hearing hoof steps on the floor the door opened... only for you to be greeted by two orange hooves in the face, knocking you to the ground. Grasping your face in pain, you felt yourself lift into the air. Realizing it was Twilight's magic restraining you, you found yourself trying to break free only to be kicked in the stomach by Applejack. Recovering from the attack, you looked into both Twilight's and Applejack's eyes seeing both fear and aggression. Twilight was the first to yell.

"Applejack told me everything! What were you thinking when you attacked that guard? Not only that, but you also turned into something that put all of ponyville into panic! What are you?"

Realizing that anything you say would end up in pain, you decided it would be best if you explained farther on who you were. Keeping a calm voice despite the pain, you tried to defuse the situation.

"Well as for the guard, he attacked me and J'lae was only defending myself. But J'lae does suppose he did go a bit to far." Letting out a apologetic grin, Twilight only shined shined her horn harder and a strangling sensation was felt on your throat.

"Sure, but Applejack mentioned that you transformed into something that scared everypony. What did you do?" Were it not that you were struggling for breath, you would have laughed at their use of the word everypony.

"J'lae has the blood of the beast churning inside him. It is a power given to few who are capable of controlling it." Hearing your explanation, Applejack had to interject.

"Beast blood? What the hay is that?" Once again, you could laugh at how innocent the creatures of this world are with there silly words.

"It lets me transform into a werewolf, though unlike those of legend, J'lae still has control over his mind and actions." Once again looking at Twilight, you saw the anger and fear in her eyes be replaced by confusion. Feeling the magic grasp loosen, you let out a sigh of relief. Observing that Applejack still eyed you suspiciously while Twilight was still in thought, you heard the voice of a small child come from inside.

"Hey Twilight! What's up with all the noise coming down from there?"

Looking closer inside expecting a little pony to come from the stairs, your eyes only widened in surprise as to what actually came down. A baby dragon. However this dragon possessed purple scales with green spikes along its body. Something was not right though... Yes, he has no wings! Though it was a infant, it was still a dragon and your destiny dictated one thing.

Seeing the growing rage in your eyes, Twilight tried to calm you.

"Why are you looking at Spike like that? He's only my number one assistant."

Twilight's words fell on deaf ears however as you readied your throat for the shout that the nords created themselves to weaken dragons. Opening your mouth, you let out a shout that thundered through the air.

"JOOR ZAH FRUL!"

For those of you not familiar with the shout or forgot its SPOILER------->>>> Dragonrend
