TES-V: Equestria
Chapter 1
Previous ChapterPain, pain is the only thing I feel as my consciousness returns, and I groan as I open my eyes to be greeted with bright sunlight. I sit up to look at my surroundings only to see I'm in a clearing in a very dark looking forest. Rustling to my left draws my attention, I jump up and reach for Righty and Lefty, my war-axes, only to find them missing. I can worry about them later, I look for something to defend my self with. I then mentally berate myself for forgetting my other weapon, grabbing Dragon's Bane, a dragonbone greatsword, off my back, I ready myself for whatever is coming.
I'm confused to say the least, I was expecting wolves, elk, bears, trolls, or hell even some bandits to come out of that bush, what I was not expecting was little pure black rabbit with antlers, so forgive me when I say I was confused. At the moment we're staring at each other, normally I would just kill it, because it's a rabbit, but my something was telling not to. I sheath Dragon's Bane, take off my helmet, and then crouch down as it hops over to me. It stops right in front of me, I summon a carrot, again thank you Uncle Sheogorath, and hold it out for the horned rabbit. It takes a few steps forward and sniffs the carrot, before it takes it. As it's munching on the carrot, I reach out to pet it. The horned rabbit looks at my hand, then back to the carrot, and back at me, it then just goes back to the carrot. I gently start petting it, it flinches when I first touch it, then relaxes after a minute. When it finishes it's carrot I gently pick it up, surprisingly it doesn't flip the fuck out.
"I think I'll keep you, what do you think?" I say to it while holding it at eye level. It then nods an- WAIT! It just fucking nodded, I shrug either it's smarter than it looks or I'm insane.... 50/50 on that but whatever. I decided to test it.
"Nod if you understand me" It nods again.
"In that case you'll need a proper name, nothing like fluffy, or spot" I start thinking about names, and look back at it.
A few minutes later
After a few minutes of deep thought, and a quick check of her gender, later.
"Serana that'll be your name" I said with a hint of sadness, I still miss my wife. I choose Serana because of the physical similarities, their eyes, and hair/fur, and because Serana was the first real friend I mad in Skyrim.
The little thing looked happy, when I said that. I stood up still holding her with one hand, putting on my helmet with the other.
"Now hows about we get out of this Talos forsaken forest?" I asked. Her answer was to cuddle my hand.
"I take that as a yes" I say as I start walking in a random direction.
An hour later
Well I've been walking for about an hour now and still nothing. Serana fell asleep with the first ten minutes of my walking, not that I really care though. From what I can tell through the extremely dense canopy, it's getting close to night fall, and I can't seem to find any roads or see and smoke from a fire. I'm about to give up for today and climb a tree when I get my 'something that wants you dead is around' feeling, again Thank you Uncle Sheogorath. I look around only to see a pair of glowing yellow eyes, I set Serana on my head, waking her up, as I unsheath Dragon's Bane and ready myself. The pair of eyes turns in to two, then three, then four, five, six , seven, and stopped at eight. Whatever they were they started coming out of the bush. They were wooden wolves, well wooden constructs made to look like wolves anyway.
'Someone probably made these as a sort of guard dog, that means someone's close hopefully ' I was pulled from my thoughts when they started growling at me. I sheathed my sword, I wouldn't need it for this. Meanwhile Serana was starting to freak out, I patted her to calm her down. Then I inhaled deeply, and let loose an ancient power.
"YOL TOOR SHUL" As the Thu'um left my lips, so did a ring of fire, the wolves had little time to react and they were blown back, while simultaneously being lit on fire. While they were recovering I had taken Serana off my head, and started petting her. Most of the wolves were just panicking trying to put out the fire but it was point less. I just stood there, watching as they died a slow painful death. After all of them had turned to ash I noticed that something had not turned to ash, it looked like taproot, I took a bite. Yup definitely taproot I could feel it's effects. I've been in need of some taproot lately, so I went around gathering it up. After all the taproot was safely stored away I started in the direction the wolves came from.
Well after a few more hours it was pitch black and I wouldn't have been able to see anything had it not been for my All-sight spell, it lets me see in the dark, invisible objects and people, through walls, and secret entrances. All in all it's a very useful spell. Anyway I was about to give up... again when I found an ancient looking castle on the other side of a ravine, well I know where I'm sleeping tonight. I stopped at the broken rope bridge, and inhaled once more.
"WULD NAH KEST" This time instead of fire leaving my lips, Serana and I were blown forward across the fifty or so foot ravine to the other side. Serana predictably freaked out, and I had to stop myself from laughing as her antlers got caught on the horns on my dragonbone helmet and she was left dangling off the back of it. I removed my helmet, and gently untangled her antlers. I then started slowly petting her as she tried to bury herself within my chestplate.
So this place's condition is horrible when you get inside the keep. The main doors lead into what I think was a throne room at one point. The throne room had an old faded red carpet running down the middle of the room from the main entrance to two thrones. The throne on the left was a pale yellow, and dirty white, while the right one was a midnight blue and what was once black, I think. Both showed obvious signs of age, they were both faded, the paint was chipped in places, had countless cracks in the stone, and the back of the blue and black one had fallen off. On the left side of the room hung, faded, ripped, and torn banners of the sun, while opposite on the right wall hung banners of the moon in the same condition. Also behind the thrones, were two doors one on the left, and one on the right. And that's right you guessed it the left door had a sun on it, and the right one had a moon. I went through the door with the moon, only to find stairs. I walked up the stairs, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and finally walked some more. After an insane amount of stairs, I found another door. As I opened said door I was greeted with what looked to be an old bedroom at one point. I started walking around the room, I stopped in front of a wooden desk with many scrolls and quills laid about. Me being me, I started looking through the desk to find anything of value. All I found was an old journal, and only when I was about open it when I realized how tired I was. Sighing I store the old book and walk over to the bed, Serana had already found her way on to the mattress and was softly snoring.
'Can rabbits snore?' I thought as I laid down. Shrugging I closed my eyes, and sleep near instantly found me.
*****
Twilight Sparkle was freaked out to say the least, first she had discovered Nightmare moon's return. And when she told the princess, Celestia brushed her off saying 'you must quit reading those dusty old tomes' and 'you should go make some friends'. Then Celestia assigned her to oversee the Summersun Celebration preparations in this years location, Ponyville. So here she is, after a stressful day of dealing with crazy ponies, just finished getting rid of a Pegasus named Fluttershy, standing in front of the Golden Oaks Library, her temporary housing.
"Huh. Rude much?" said Spike Twilight's baby dragon assistant.
"Sorry, Spike, but I have to convince the Princess that Nightmare Moon is coming, and we're running out of time! I just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time. Now, where's the light?" Said Twilight as she walks into the library. The light then turns on.
"Surprise!" Shouted a mass of different ponies. From somwhere with in the mass, came the sound of a kazoo. Twilight then groans.
"Surprise!" Said Pinkie Pie, a hyper active mare, as she blew a party wistle.
"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you! Were you surprised? Were ya? Were ya? Huh huh huh?"
"Very surprised. Libraries are supposed to be quiet." Responded Twilight
"Well, that's silly! What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, duh, bo-ring! Y'see, I saw you when you first got here, remember? You were all 'hello' and I was all *deep gasp*, remember? Y'see I've never saw you before and if I've never saw you before that means you're new, 'cause I know everypony, and I mean everypony in Ponyville!" Again Twilight groaned.
"And if you're new, that meant you haven't met anyone yet, and if you haven't met anyone yet, you must not have any friends, and if you don't have any friends then you must be lonely, and that made me so sad, then I had an idea, and that's why I went *deep gasp*! I must throw a great big ginormous super-duper spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Ponyville! See? And now you have lots and lots of friends!" As Pinkie was saying this Twilight had went to get some punch, but added hot sauce instead. Nopony noticed, that was until she drank it, and got sick from it.
"Are you all right, sugarcube?" asked Applejack, the local apple farmer.
"Aww, she's so happy she's crying!" said Pinkie.
"Hot sauce Ooh..." Read off the label of what Twilight put in her drink. Pinkie Pie then proceeds to drown a cupcake in hot sauce, then downed it in a single bite. Everypony looked at her like she was crazy.
"What? It's good!" said Pinkie with her mouthful.
Several Hours later
After Twilight's hot sauce incidence, she had tried to go to bed, 'tried' being the key word. She could still here the muffled disco music coming from down stairs. Just then Spike open the door wearing a lamp shade on his head.
"Hey Twilight! Pinkie Pie's starting 'pin the tail on the pony!' Wanna play?" Asked spike
"No! All the ponies in this town are crazy! Do you know what time it is?!" exclaimed Twilight.
"It's the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration. Everypony has to stay up, or they'll miss the Princess raise the sun! You really should lighten up, Twilight. It's a party!" Twilight then, being the mature young mare she is, proceeded to mockingly imitate spike. Spike shrugs, turns around, and walks back to the party, leaving Twilight alone once more.
Ugh, here I thought I'd have time to learn about the Elements of Harmony but, silly me, all this ridiculous friend-making has kept me from it! 'Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape, and she will bring about everlasting night.' I hope the Princess was right... I hope it really is just an old pony tale..." said Twilight to no-pony in particular. Spike then comes back into the room.
"C'mon, Twilight, it's time to watch the sunrise!" Spike informs Twilight.
At the Ponyville Townhall
"Isn't this exciting? Are you excited, 'cause I'm excited, I've never been so excited-- well, except for the time that I saw you walking into town and I went *deep gasp* but I mean really, who can top that?" said Pinkie as she bonces in place. Mayor Mare, Ponyville's , you guessed it, mayor then walked on to the stage.
"Fillies and gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!" The audience erupts in cheers.
"In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria..." Mayor Mare explains.
"Ready?" whispers Fluttershy, a timid pegasus, to her singing birds.
"...Princess Celestia!" Exclaims Mayor Mare. Then Rarity, the local fashionista, drew back the curtains to revile....
No-pony.
"Huh?" questioned Rarity. This of course causes unrest, and nervousness within the crowd.
"This can't be good." said Twilight.
"Remain calm, everypony, there must be a reasonable explanation!" Said Mayor Mare in an attempt to calm the room's nervousness.
"Ooh, ooh, I love guessing games! Is she hiding?" Exclaimed, bouncing in place.
"She's gone!" Said Rarity after looking behind the curtains. That caused most of the room to gasp.
"Ooh, she's good." Said Pinkie, still thinking the Princess was just hiding. Just as Pinkie said that, some sort of midnight blue mist, appeared where Princess Celestia should have been. The mist then formed into a tall, black, armored Alicorn, With a mane like the night' sky. The Alicorn's sudden appearance is what was the cause of the room's gasping.
"Oh no... Nightmare Moon!" whispered Twilight. This was why Spike fainted.
"Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious, little sun-loving faces." said Nightmare Moon venomously.
"What did you do with our Princess?!" Yells Rainbow Dash, the captain of the weather team in Ponyville. Rainbow Dash then tried to charge Nightmare Moon, but Applejack bit RD's tail holding her back.
"Whoa there, Nelly..." Mumble Applejack. Nightmare Moon chuckles at this.
"Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?" Said Nightmare Moon hatefully.
"Ooh, ooh, more guessing games! Um, Hokey Smokes! How about... Queen Meanie! No! Black Snooty, Black Snooty--" Pinkie was cut off by Applejack shoving a cupcake into Pinkie's mouth.
"Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years? Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?" asked Nightmare Moon. Twilight stepped forward at this
"I did. And I know who you are. You're the Mare in the Moon – Nightmare Moon!" Exclaimed Twilight. This caused the room to overly dramatically gasp.
"Well well well, somepony who remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here."
"You're here to... to..." Twilight doesn't finish, and gulps out of fear. Nightmare moon chuckles.
"Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever!" Shouts Nightmare Moon. Thunder cracks in the background, as Nightmare Moon, cackles evilly as she casts a spell and disappeared. Towards the Everfree Forest. Twilight rushes out of the townhall, and hightails it back to the library.
At the Golden Oaks Library
Twilight puts Spike to bed after all, he is a baby dragon, then runs down stairs and starts fanatically searching for anything on the elements of harmony.
"Elements, elements, elements... Ugh! How can I stop Nightmare Moon without the Elements of Harmony?" Exclaims Twilight, being stressed about not finding anything. As she is doing this Rainbow Dash flies in, and gets in Twilight's face.
"And just what are the Elements of Harmony? And how did you know about Nightmare Moon, huh? Are you a spy? Whoa!" Yells RD, before Applejack pulls her back.
"Simmer down, Sally. She ain't no spy. But she sure knows what's going on. Don't you, Twilight?" Asked Applejack.
"I read all about the prediction of Nightmare Moon. Some mysterious objects called the Elements of Harmony are the only things that can stop her, but I don't know what they are, where to find them; I don't even know what they do!"
"The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide." said Pinkie as she pulled out the book Twilight was looking for.
"How did you find that?!" Questions Twilight.
"It was under 'E'!' Said Pinkie in a sing-song voice.
"Oh. There are six Elements of Harmony, but only five are known: Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Loyalty. The sixth is a complete mystery. It is said, the last known location of the five elements was in the ancient castle of the royal pony sisters. It is located in what is now, The Everfree Forest" Said Twilight.
"The Everfree Forest?!?" Exclaims the rest of the room. Twilight nods.
"Can one of you show me where that is?" asked Twilight
A few short minutes later
As they arrive at the entrance to the Forest, Twilight stops the group before they enter the spooky forest.
"Not so fast. Look, I appreciate the offer, but I'd really rather do this on my own." Said Twilight
"No can do, sugarcube. We sure ain't lettin' any friend of ours go into that creepy place alone. We're stickin' to you like caramel on a candy apple." Replied Applejack. The rest of the group hummed their agreement.
"Especially if there's candy apples in there. What? Those things are good." Said Pinkie not understanding Applejack's metaphor. Twilight sighed.
Back at a Ruined castle
I was cursing my need for little sleep right now, and because of it, I only slept an hour or so. I couldn't see Secunda and Masser, the moons, in the sky, so it was hard to tell. So Instead of sleeping I decided to take a look at that old journal I found, needless to say, it was interesting. It was the diary of a delusional Princess name Luna, she thought she control of the moons, and that her sister, Princess Celestia, had control of the sun. I believe the room I'm in was her's, but there was something bugging me, she never called the moons by their names, nor did she ever mention more than one moon. She must have been almost insane, because she used terms that suggested that everyone was ponies. I chuckled at that, Talos forbid her, and Uncle Sheogorath meet I think I might get an aunt out of it. In the bedroom, opposite the queen sized bed, was a huge window, and It looked perfect for stargazing. I had pulled up a chair, and had started looking at the stars, when I finally saw the moon.......
'WAIT' I rubbed my eyes, and checked again. THERE WAS ONLY A SINGLE MOON! So I then checked for any of the constellations. None of them were there, None.
"Interesting" Now a lesser man would have freaked out, but when you've got Sheogorath as an Uncle, it's gonna take a lot more to freak me out. So this means that I'm on another planet, far far away from Skyrim, and my Throne.
'Eh, Paarthy can take care of Skyrim ......Hopefully' I thought. So that means, well at least according to Luna's journal, instead of people, it's intelligent ponies that live on this planet. And then I felt bad for laughing at Luna, even if she was long dead, she was shunned, looked down upon, as the lesser Princess. She was forced to live in her sister's shadow, and she let her jealousy overtake her. The last entry said so something about removing her sister, and creating eternal night, so I'm guessed she was killed. A soft thumping sound drew my attention, I looked to see, Serana hoping over to me. I smiled and reached down and picked her up, slowly petting her.
"Well turns out I'm not from this planet" I said to her, she cocked her head to the side, as if to say 'what do you mean?'. I smiled.
"When you hopped into that clearing we met in, I had just woken up, after getting caught in some sort of spell on a different planet, my home planet." I explained. Serana started making some sort of noise, it kinda sounded like laughter. I chuckled along with her, then deposited her on the floor as I stood up.
"Do you want to go explore a little?" I asked her. She responded by hopping over to the door. I smiled, walked over, put on my helmet, opened the door, and started the long descent with Serana.
It took a little while but we were almost down, but I froze when I herd voices. I first thought bandits, so I placed Serana on my head and drew Dragon's Bane. I then quietly made my way to the door at the bottom of the stairs, I slowly opened it. Nothing the voices were coming from one of the doors futher down the room. I quickly, while still being quiet, made my way into the accused door, as I went I noticed that the voices were all distinctively feminine, and I counted six. There was another door, it was cracked open and light was seeping through the crack, peaking through the door I saw six ponies and they were all mares, and two of them were normal ponies, two were unicorns, and the last two were pegasi, I think that's what they're called. One of Uncle's friends had them. They were around some circular shaped stones. All of a sudden I heard the purple one say.
"The book said when the five are gathered, a spark will cause the sixth to be reviled"
" What in the hay, is that suppose'sta mean?" Asked the orange one.
"I'm not sure, but I have an idea. Stand back I don't know what will happen" replied the purple one. The purple one's horn then light up, as the others left the room.
"Come on now y'all she's got ta concentrate" Said the orange one as she was leaving, and as soon as the purple one was alone a dark blue mist shot past her and started circling the stones. The purple one looked to be in deep concentration, and didn't notice the mist, until it had started a mini-tornado. The purple one yelped in surprise at it.
"TWILIGHT!" I heard the others scream. They arrived just in time to see their friend jump into the swirling mass of air, and disappear. I however felt that the teleportation spell had taken them somewhere close, my theory was proved when flashing lights from the throne room. The ponies quickly looked at each other and sprinted towards the door I was watching from. I barely managed to down and invisibility potion, and back up against the wall before the door slammed open and five bright colored ponies ran by. Thankfully they weren't paying attention and didn't notice the floating horned rabbit, as they ran past. I followed them, wanting to see what the out come of this whole thing was. As we neared the throne room, we could hear loud evil laughter, the five I was following started shouting encouragements to their friend.
When we arrived at the throne room, the purple one, Twilight I think her name was, was shouting something about spirits of elements, and harmony, at this tall black armored, pony that had both wings and a horn. The others stopped behind Twilight and did a dramatic pose, as what looked like crystal shards at the...... feet? Hoves? of the tall black one started floating, and glowing.
"What?" Asked the black one. Then Twilight pointing at the five behind her.
"Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of... honesty!"
"Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of... kindness!"
"Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of... laughter!"
"Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift represents the spirit of... generosity!"
"And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire represents the spirit of... loyalty!"
"The spirits of these five ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us." Said Twilight with a smile.
"You still don't have the sixth Element! The spark didn't work!" Shouted the black one
"But it did! A different kind of spark. I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear, to see, and how much I cared about the others. The spark ignited inside me when I realized that all of them... are my friends!" as Twilight said this another ball of stone appeared above her.
"You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the... the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element: the element of... magic!" Exclaimed Twilight, and as she said this floating shards and ball above Twilight's head turned to jewelry, a pendant for everyone except Twilight who got a tiara. Then suddenly a rainbow, yes and actual rainbow, shot out of the center of the group and towards... Nightmare Moon I think?
"Nooo! Nooo!" Screamed Nightmare Moon, as a bright light filled the room, I had to shut my eyes to avoid blindness, and when the light died down, Twilight's group was laid about on the floor. But where the black pony stood, now laid a slightly smaller midnight blue pony with a horn and wings, also I've noticed that all of the ponies have markings on their flanks, I wondered what those are. Anyway they started coming to.
"Ugh, my head." complained Rainbow Dash.
"Everypony okay?" Asked Applejack.
"Oh, thank goodness." Said Rarity as she inspected her tail, which had previously been short.
"Why Rarity, it's so lovely." Complemented Fluttershy,
"I know! I'll never part with it again." Exclaimed Rarity, hugging her tail.
"No. Your necklace. It looks just like your cutie mark." replied Fluttershy,
"What? Ooh. So does yours." Rarity said. At this everyone else seem'd to notice the pendants on their necks. Fluttershy gasped at her's.
"Look at mine! Look at mine!" Shouted Pinkie Pie,
"Aw yeah." Said Rainbow Dash while examining her's.
"Gee, Twilight! I thought you were just spoutin' a lot of hooey, but I reckon we really do represent the elements of friendship." Said Applejack.
"Indeed you do." Said a tall white pony, with a blue, green, and pink mane that looked like it was flowing in an breeze, even if we were in side, as she teleported in, the ponies bowed and Twilight trotted up to Her.
"Princess Celestia" Gasped Twilight. That got my attention, Luna mentioned her sister was named Celestia, suddenly it all clicked, Nightmare Moon, WAS Princess Luna, and I'm going to guess, her and Celestia, are Immortal. I wouldn't be surprised I know lots things that don't age, Dragons, daedra, Gods, Goddesses, myself, and vampires. What? Again Uncle Sheogorath's doing.
"Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student. I knew you could do it." Congratulated Celestia
"But... you told me it was all an old pony tale." Twilight confusingly stated.
"I told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more. I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return and I knew it was you who had the magic inside to defeat her, but you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart. Now if only another will as well. Princess Luna!" Exclaimed Celestia. I called it. Luna gasped as she awoken
"It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, little sister."
"Sister?" Yelled Twilight and RD.
"Will you accept my friendship?" Asked Celestia.
"Whoa!" yelped Pinkie as she fell foward.
"I'm so sorry! I missed you so much, big sister!" Exclaimed Luna, as she jumped up, both Celestia, and Luna nuzzled each other with tears in their eyes.
"I've missed you, too." Replied Celestia.
"Hey, you know what this calls for!?!" Asked Pinkie. And before anyone answered, she Shouted.
"A party!" Everyone cheers at that, and they all start to leave but before they do. I step out of the shadows, Slowly clapping.
"Well done ponies, not the way I would've handle it, but good job none the less" I said. They all freeze and turn to me. Celestia steps forward, we end up staring at each other for a few minutes. I'm the first to break the slience.
"Good evening, Princess Celestia" I say, this seems to snap everyone out of their stupor.
"What manner of creature are you?" Celestia questions in a 'no nonsense' tone. Alright, if she wants to do it that way, then we'll get straight to it.
"I'm a nord" I reply in a flat tone.
"And why are you here?" I pause at that, and think about it for a moment. I myself don't know, well I know the physical reason, but in my life, whether it be Uncle's fault or the divines themselves I'm never anywhere by 'accident.
"I was caught in a spell, after stopping some mage's attempt at reviving my nemesis. I was knocked out, and when I awoke I was in this forest. Then this one found me." I pick up Serana drawing attention to her. "I picked a random direction, started walking in said direction, encountered some sort of wooden wolves, I ended up here. I looked around, found a bed at the top of some stairs, took a nap, woke up, came down here, heard voices, walked in hear saw all of what just happened, and now I'm having this conversation. Does that answer your question?" Celestia looked to be mulling over what I had said, and before she could say anything, Fluttershy stepped forward.
"um.. e-excuse me-e, b-but is tha-at a j-jackal-lope?" As she said this, she tensed up, and sounded incredibly scared.
"I wouldn't know myself, I just found her a few hours ago, and I've never seen anything like her." I said in a tone, similar to how someone who was comforting a scared child would sound. My attempt at trying to ease the timid pegasus' fear seemed to work, because she visibly relaxed at my words. I noted how Celestia, who along with everyone else, were watching us, relaxed as well when I finished.
"D-does she h-have a name?" Oh dear Talos, I forgot to mention that all of these ponies were adorable as fuck, especially Fluttershy when she stutters. I'd run over there and hug her, if we were in a different situation. Also I doubt I'd score points with Celestia if I scared one of her subjects to death, so instead I smiled at Fluttershy.
"Her name is Serana." I look at Serana, she nods at my silent question. "Would you like to hold her?" Fluttershy beams when I ask that.
"Oh yes, I very much would!" She rushed over to me, but hesitated before coming within arms-length.
"I promise I don't bit" I joke, this seems to alleviate the rest of her worries. I crouch down, and put Serana down, Serana immediately hops over to Fluttershy. As she starts playing with Serana, I turn back to the rest of the ponies, as Twilight steps forward, with a scroll and quill. Great.
"You said you're a nord, correct?"
"Correct" She scribbles down something.
"And you also said that a spell brought you here?" I nod, and again she writes down something. She's about to ask something else when Celestia cuts in.
"Excuse me, but where do you come from?"
"Skyrim" Celestia looks very confused when I say that.
"Skyrim? Where's that I never heard of it before" Asks Twilight, I sigh knowing what's to come.
"The thing is I'm not exactly from this planet" I now have everyone's full attention, and Twilight speaks first.
" That's- That's impossible"
"If so then where's the other moon? Back home there's always been two moons up in the night sky" Twilight looks like she's about to loose her mind, and to my surprise Luna speaks up.
"The strain on your worlds Moon Guardian must be immense, or does your world have a separate Guardian for each moon?" I pause, but then remember that Luna supposedly controls the moon, an Celestia the sun.
"The sun and moon move on their own in my world" Celestia and Luna, as well as everyone else look at me like I'm crazy. RD snorts.
"So what's next? The weather controls itself" RD starts laughing
"Actually it does" That shut her up. Twilight starts jumping up and down.
"Oh this is so exciting! A whole new world! I want to know Everything. What's it like? What do nords do for fun? How many nords are there? What are-" I cut her off there.
"I'm sure there will plenty of time later for more questions, but I'd like to get back to civilization if you don't mind" Twilight pouts, and starts to say something but Celestia beats her to it.
"He is right we should head back to Ponyville, besides doesn't Pinkie have a party to plan?" Pinkie gasps and darts off, Applejack then follows her yelling something about waiting for the group, this in turn causes the rest of the group, with the exception of myself, Celestia, and Luna to leave. The motherly smile Celestia was wearing disappears as she faces me, and my smirk also leaves. Before she says anything I speak up.
"I know you want to talk to me about something what is it?" Celestia frowns.
"I want to know if you're a threat, because if you are or you harm a single one my little ponies, I will Personally bring the whole of tartarus upon you" As she says this her horn glows with somespell.
"Princess I will not hurt any of your subjects, on that you have my word" I say in a deathly serious tone, as I kneel before Celestia.
"Then rise Mr. Sides" As I stand up I feel something tap my leg, looking down I see it's Serana. I smile as I pick her up.
"Can't forget you now, can I?" I look back at Celestia. "Before I forget please call me Levis" With that we depart for Ponyville.
