Domination

"Remind me again why we're going Canterlot, Twilight?" said Spike.

"Because Spike, I've heard some terrible rumors that the princesses are missing and we're going to investigate." Said Twilight.

The two of them stepped off the Canterlot train platform and into a crowd of terrified ponies.

"What's going on?" Twilight asks to someone in the crowd.

The pony in question just kept staring towards the plaza.

Twilight looked and gasped, seeing a strange stone structure that definetely wasn't there. It had strange runes on it that glowed purple. She was about to go forward when purple smoke appeared in front of the stone structure and a strange serpent like creature with what seemed to be four arms materialized out of the smoke.

"Hello dear mortals, you have all been graciously chosen by our Lord Molag Bal to be brought into his terrible realm of Coldharbour. Celebrate now mortals! For this will be your last day of freedom!" she then started cackling before bringing up all four of her arms and the unthinkable happened.

A great circle of some sort of material appeared in the sky accompanied by demonic horns. A purple energy rippled across the center before 3 great chains slammed down out of the portal and into the stone structure. They tightened before going still.

The crowd srood in silence before utter panic broke out. Four balls of blue flame slammed down and horrendous creatures only born out of nightmares emerged. They proceded to attack the panicking crowd.

More blue flames started falling down before Twilight grabbed Spike and started running for the castle.

"What was that thing Twilight?" Spike yelled.

"I don't know but we have to get to the castle!" Twilight yelled back.

She ran before she was stopped by the serpent creature that appeared before.

"Where are you going mortal? Our lord has seen a use in you and he requests your presence." She smiles wickedly before throwing towards a chain wracked in blue flame that ensnared both Twilight and Spike.

The flame on the chain gave Twilight and Spike agonizing pain but gave no wounds. They kept crying out in agony as the demon started pulling the chains. Slow at first but then quickly. The demon headed towards a blue portal that materialized in front of them. The demon dragged them through and Twilight and Spike entered what seemed like Tartarus but worse. The sky seemed to burn with a scorching hot blue flame but ground level was chilling to the bone. The ground seemed to be made out of a purplish spiky crystal.

The demon continued dragging them, she seemed to be enjoying their cry's of pain. She then tossed both Twilight and Spike into seperate cages and slammed the door. She laughed as she slithered away.

The chains were gone and so was the pain. Twilight looked around her and gasped at what she saw, bipedal beings seemed to be stumbling around and mining the crystal. They were a bluish-white and were wearing horribly torn clothing.

She noticed one walking by and tried to get it's attention.

"Hey you! Can I talk to you?" She said to the biped. It looked at her and she gasped, his face was sunken so much that he almost looked like a skeleton and his eyes... they were empty.... it was almost as if he didn't have a soul. He moaned and stumbled away.

Twilight sat in the cage scared beyond belief. She looked over and saw Spike was unconscious. Probably due to the force with which the demon threw them in the cage. She wanted to check on him but couldn't l.

She sniffled before saying "Why did this happen to us? What have we ever done?".

She continued to cry before a moan next to her caught her attention. She looked out of her cage next to her and saw another biped in a cage. He wasn't as malnourished as the others and seemed to be a dark purplish-blue.

He pushed himself up before she got a better look at him. He had red hair around his head but not on top, he also had hair above his mouth and on his chin that was short and also red. He had pointed ears the same color of his skin. He then opened his eyes showing deep crimson pupils.

He looked around before groaning out
"Ugh, by Vivec what happened?".

When he looked at Twilight he widened his eyes and stumbled back sputtering out "And what in the name of the three is that!".

"I could ask the same for you stranger." Twilight said.

"You can talk too! By Vivec, just what is happening to me?" He looked around before saying "Well, that explains that".

"Explains what?" Twilight said.

He looked over and said "Do you happen to know just where we are s'wit?".

He raised an arm and presented our surroundings, "We are in Coldharbour, realm of the Dreadlord Molag Bal, and possibly the worst place you could ever hope to be".

His sophisticated voice was drowned out by the ring of pickaxes pounding away at the crystal.

"Who's Molag Bal?" Twilight asked.

He mumbled under his breath before saying "Molag Bal is the daedric prince of rape and brutality".

"What is a daedric prince?" Twilight asked.

"Better for you not to know, just know that they are beings of incomprehensible power and that it is best to stay away from them if possible" he said ominously.

A silence came up, the metallic ringing of pickaxes ringing away in their ears before Twilight spoke up.

"What's your name?".

"Utherel".

"What are you?" She said.

He looked at her like she had grown a second head. He then sighed out and spoke.

"l am what is known as a Dark elf, hailing from Morrowind" he said.

"Where's that?".

"Haven't you heard of Tamriel before?".

"No".

He buried his head in his hands before saying "What luck that I get such a fetcher as company".
