Dragonborn
As it was, it was an average day in Appleloosa, well, if you can say any day is average, as a rather large hooded pony passed through the small town. Because of the hood, it hid all his features, other than his black coat. He smelled the burning sensation of flame, and it wasn't firewood flame. This pony turned his head and saw that near one of the orchards, a house was burning, with many surrounding it, not knowing what to do. As it was burning, he could hear the screams coming from inside. He whispered something unintelligible and quickly bolted over to the house, picking up a gust of wind as a result which caught the eye of many. He went inside the house, while somepony tried to warn him off, to no heed. As he went inside he went upstairs and saw a family of three, a father, a mother, and a filly. There was a piece of wood aflame that none of them could lift.
With great strength and endurance, the hooded pony started to lift the piece of wood, he lifted it high, making it possible for the family to head out of the house. When the family got out of the house, they saw that the entrance caved in. Losing hope the father and mother looked down in sadness for their hero, and the filly almost started to cry. Until they heard a deep voiced shout.
"FUS RO DAH!"
In that instant, out of the side of the house an explosion like wind came, blowing out the side as the hooded pony jumped out of the house, landing on all four hooves. He immediately turned around, stood up on his hind legs, while being balanced, and quickly reeled out his right hoof. A chain with a hook on the end latched on the end of the house, and both of the hooves turned into five ended appendages, and he wrapped his left appendage around the chain and pulled. The house crashed down with a thunderous boom. The stranger's two appendages turned back into hooves as he stood on all four, and shouted one more thing.
"FO KRAH DIIN!"
Ice immediately blew from the stallions muzzle as it froze the flames, putting the flames out. The family overjoyed for their lives, and the life of their hero, galloped over to the behemoth of a pony, while the many watchers were clapping their hooves, and shouting cheers.
"Oh thank you, thank you! Is there anyway we could repay you for saving our lives?" asked the mother in a southern accent. The stallion only started walking away. "Wait, please-"
"No. Nothing can repay this. You need not to repay for your lives. It is just my duty," said the stallion in a deep voice.
"Mister?" asked the filly. The stallion immediately stopped. He turned toward the small filly and gently knelled down. The filly could then only see the blue eyes of the stallion.
"What?" replied the stallion in a gentle and calm voice.
"Um... what's your name?" asked the filly meekly.
"A question that has not been asked for many years. I refer to be called, Myth," said the stallion. The filly's eyes sparkled with awe.
"Myth... thank you," said the filly as she tried to hug Myth, but failing to as Myth was to large. He made up for this by wrapping just one hoof gently around the filly. He let go as he got up, and started to wander off.
"Myth, wait. Where're you goin'?" yelled the mother.
"Where ever the winds of change take me. Take care," said Myth.
"Myth!" yelled the filly. He turned his head to show she had his attention.
"We'll never forget you!" she yelled. One could see a smile spread on the stallion's face as he wandered off into the Equestrian Desert. As he went by a train passed him on it's way to where he just was.
As Applejack, Element of Honesty, was visiting one of her, shall we say, many, cousins, Braeburn, she and Braeburn stumbled upon the burned and destroyed home, as rubble was being cleared away.
"What happened 'ere?" asked Applejack in her southern accent.
"Ah, well. A fire started somehow, and a family got itself trapped inside. We thought they wouldn't make it 'til a big hooded stallion came by. He hurried inside and, according to the family, lifted a piece of flamin' wood to save them. The front of the house caved in blocking the exit. When they thought he sacrificed himself, he came bursting through the side, shouting somethin' like 'fuse ro duh' or somethin' of the like. He then forced the thin' down with a chain and hook, and then put out the flames bah shouting somethin' else like 'fo kray deen.' Then, when we asked what the family said his name was, they said, 'Myth.' He then just wandered off. He's been considered the town's hero," said Braeburn.
"Well, if this Myth was willing to save a family, then I guess I better hope to meet 'im one day," said Applejack. Applejack then thought of what this hero stallion could do.
As Myth was walking, he saw in the distance a trail of smoke. This smoke wasn't fire smoke, for it was Dovah's yol, Dragon's fire, smoke. He intended to find the Dovah, and least try to reason with it. If not, it was another Dovah sil, Dragon soul, to absorb. He headed towards Ponyville's mountain.
Five days later-
"Alright girls, we'll have to climb this mountain again since another dragon has mistakenly decided to sleep here. Fluttershy, you'll be our last resort again if all our other attempts don't work. Alright, is everypony ready?" Twilight asked with enthusiasm.
"Yeah!" shouted the rest of the Mane Six, except for Fluttershy, who loudly whispered a yeah in there.
When the Elements arrived to the top they were surprised to find that this dragon didn't have a pile of jewels or gold, not one speck, but they needed to try to get the dragon out. So Twilight tried first.
"Um... hello Mr. um... Dragon sir-"
"Mr. Dragon? Hmph, do not insult me. For I am Niveerna (Nih-veer-nah)," said the dragon in a deep and raspy voice.
"Oh... Niveerna, what a great name, now I was wondering if you could, maybe sleep somewhere else, so you don't, you know... cover the entirety of Equestria in smoke?" asked Twilight. The dragon just snorted as it was a joke.
"You must jest, I care not for you small animals. I shall sleep where ever I please, as all Dovah have and will," said Niveerna.
"Now leave," the dragon ordered.
"YOL!" the dragon shouted as fire spewed from it's mouth as Twilight hurried out of the cave.
"Well, that was a bust. Rarity your turn," said Twilight.
"I'll show you how to do it," said Rarity, preparing all her 'lady' magic.
"Also, refer to him a Niveerna," included Twilight.
"Oh, Niveerna, what would a hunk of a dragon like you be-"
"Do not try to persuade me, pony, for I have far outlived many who tried and failed. Now as I said before, leave!" order the dragon once more. Rarity came out right as Pinkie had a plan ready.
"My turn!" said Pinkie, filled with determination. She went in, with something different that her last dragon attempt, wearing a tuba, sunglasses, brightly colored bracelets, basically everything that wasn't on her before. She went into the cave, and started to play her tuba.
"You animals are bothersome, YOL TOOR SHUL!" the other's could hear inside the cave, as a blast of fire spewed out from the mouth of the cavern, with Pinkie coming out smoking and blazing.
"Alright I had enough-" Rainbow Dash was about to say before a deep voice interrupted her.
"Stop. Let me deal with the Dovah," said the mysterious, big, hooded figure. Rainbow was about to say something else until Applejack shushed her. The stallion entered the cave and what the Mane Six heard, confused them.
"Dovah," said the deep voiced stallion.
"Ah, daar gein mindok fin Dovah tinvaak," (Ah, this one know's the Dragon language) said Niveerna in a pleased tone. The stallion only seemed to growl.
"Dovah, hon zu'u. Hi los vod raan junaar. Bovul uv haalvut fin bah do dii nah, (Dragon, hear me. You are passing animal province. Flee or feel the wrath of my fury.)" said the strange stallion in a dangerous tone. The dragon only laughed.
"Ha! Fin raan mindol nii fent pruzaan zu'u? (Ha! The animal thinks it shall best me?)" spoke the dragon in a mocking tone.
"Fent hi wahl mal do fin Dovahkiin? (Shall you make small of the Dragonborn?)" said the stallion. Whatever it said, must have scare the dragon as the dragon hesitated to speak.
"Dovahkiin? Oh, I am sorry. I did not realize this was your territory. My apologies," said Niveerna in a scared manor. The Mane Six all watched as the dragon hurriedly flew from the cave. The strange stallion exited the cave. The ponies just stared in awe at the pony who was able to just scare off a dragon, just walk off like it was no big deal. Like it was just a day from his everyday job.
"Hold it. How did you do that?" asked Rainbow, landing behind the stallion. When she did that, he halted his movement.
"Did what?" the stallion replied.
"You scared off a dragon!" Rainbow exclaimed.
"I merely reasoned with it," said the hooded pony.
"That language. You spoke a different language to that dragon. No other dragon ever spoke that language, yet that one did. That wasn't an ordinary dragon was it?" asked Twilight.
"Someone has done their research. You'd be correct Twilight. Only the Dovah of old know that tongue," said the stallion.
"Wait ah minute. You're that Myth feller ain't you?" asked Applejack.
"Myth?" asked Twilight.
"Yes, that would be me. Why must you ask?" replied Myth.
"That dragon, it said somethin' then fire went spewin' out it's mouth. Like what I heard of what you did," said Applejack, taking a couple steps forward.
"You must be referring to the Dragon Shout, or the Thu'um," said Myth.
"Then you must be the supposed Dragonborn of legend!" shouted Twilight.
"Heh, only dragons, young and old, would know that. That title lost it's meaning among ponies ages ago," said Myth sadly. "Now, I must take my leave."
"Why?" asked Fluttershy. Her saying this surprised everypony. "Do you have to leave?"
"Unfortunately yes. You six, keep working as the Elements of Harmony," said Myth.
"And?" continued Rainbow, knowing there was an 'and' in there.
"And you have to deal with spreading friendship. While you do that, I wander Equestria, helping those in need," said Myth.
"But, we help those in need by spreading friendship," said Rainbow, feeling like she was insulted as if they didn't help those in need. "Heck, we were the ones that stopped Tirek."
"I heard of that, but there is more evil than Tirek. Do you know who had to help keep the dragons at bay from Equestria while it was defenseless?" asked Myth.
"What? Dragons tried to invade?" asked Twilight.
"Indeed, if you don't believe me, ask Celestia," said Myth. "I also had to hold back the Ursa Major in it's raging fit while it was trying to head to Ponyville, looking for it's cub. There was also Sunset Shimmer."
"How do you know about her?" asked Twilight, surprised how Myth knew.
"Because, I had to defeat her in order to keep her magic limits contained," Myth answered. "Now as I said, I'll be off."
"Wait," said Fluttershy. Myth stopped movement again. "Will we see you again?"
"When the time comes," Myth said as he jumped off the mountain. The girls gasped and when they looked over the cliff, he was gone.
As Myth walked through Manehattan, he saw something he didn't like. One of the large skyscrapers were unsupported and Myth knew it was about to fall. It started to fall. Civilians were screaming as they scrambled about. Myth changed into human form under his cloak as he pushed onto the building as much as he could, slowly stopping it's descent, and starting it's ascent. When he was sure it was fully upward he shouted his Thu'um.
"IIZ GRON NUS!" Myth shouted at the side he was pushing and ice formed as a support beam. While he kept support, he looked to the nearest pony, a unicorn with a mint green coat, light blue/white mane, and a lyre for a cutie mark.
"Hey!" he shouted gaining her attention.
"Me?" she asked.
"Yes you! Go find a crew to help with this mess!" Myth ordered.
"U-um, yes sir," the pony said as she galloped off.
"MUL QAH DIIV!" Myth exclaimed as he felt even more power enter his body, making the building feel lighter. A strange transparent armor covered his frame as well. He heard the scream of a mare as he looked up to see a pony dangling from a window, around ten stories up. Focusing, he made a copy of the armor appear beside him, and then it went to climb up the building. The mare fell, and the armor jumped and caught her, but as she landed, she landed on top of the armor, making it disappear.
Conveniently a construction crew came with the green pony, who were unicorns. They used their magic to hold the building in place as they placed actual fortifications, allowing Myth to step back, quickly changing to pony to hide his human form. After this happened, there were cheers flooding the streets, as news ponies, photographers, and miscellaneous crowded around Myth, but right before he was trapped he used a Thu'um.
"TIID KLO UL!" Myth shouted as to the ponies around, it looked like he was just suddenly gone, but to Myth, he saw time go to a stand still. He quickly made his escape, going to the edge of the city, and when he fully left the city, time moved forward at normal speed. He then looked to the skies, to see the city of clouds moving across the night sky of Equestria. He then unfurled wings larger than Celestia's, with feathers the color of gold.
As Rarity was walking the streets of Manehatten, she saw in a stores front window's T.V. the news of what transpired that evening was being played.
"And everypony is evac... Wait, what? Quick zoom in! As you can see, an unnamed stallion is lifting the building, with just brute strength alone-" she was interrupted by the stallion's shout.
"IIZ GRON NUS!" the stallion shouted as a pillar of ice was formed on the side of the sky scraper holding up the building. Rarity knew, well "knew," only one pony that could speak that language. She needed to tell Twilight of this, hopefully so that they can find out how Myth can even speak the supposed "dragon tongue."
Myth arrived to the city of the skies, Cloudsdale, and looked around to find the location of interest, the Weather Factory. Unfortunately, the supposed day that the certain event would happen would include the rainbow maned mare. He rushed into the factory and ran along the corridors of the soon cataclysmic building. He ran along many rooms, some containing flammable chemicals. As he finally arrive upon the room of interest he saw the foolish mare messing with devices that she honestly had no idea did what. It was a new piece of the factory, for what? To easily make more rainbows.
"Stop!" Myth shouted with the strength of a mountain. He was too late as the mare flipped a switch she shouldn't have, right as she turned in surprise. The chemicals inside heated up heavily and Myth, with a growl of annoyance, rushed and grabbed Rainbow as the tubes exploded, flames following them as Myth used a shout.
"WULD RU GUT!" Myth yelled as he used the human form, with wind in his veins, as he sped quickly down corridors, with some of the rooms at the sides exploding with the flames climbing along down the corridor. He was able to escape in time, but the flames weren't his worries, it was what the flames would attract the undesirable entity he was worried about. He dropped the idiotic mare on the ground, with an "Oof." He quickly changed back to pony form as he leveled an annoyed glare on Rainbow Dash as she stood up. She noticed it as she bent her head in embarrassment.
"Um, my bad?" she said with a light chuckle. Myth only shook his head.
"Why?" he .asked, awaiting the creature that would come.
"Well, I came for a visit, but saw that new area of the factory, and got curious. It's not my fault that that would explode," she said, trying to defend herself.
"Don't fuck with shit you know nothing about," Myth said, turning around to look to the skies in anticipation.
"Hey, how did you even know that would happen? I was sure no pony saw me go in there," Rainbow questioned. It was true that she sneaked into the secret section unnoticed, so how could Myth know she would even be there. But it would end up unanswered as a roar pierced the sky. Myth, knowing he would stand less of a chance in pony form, changed into human form. Rainbow gasped finally seeing Myth, being even twice the size.
A dragon soared over the view of the factory, this one having black and purple scales with mottled white spots on the wings, and this one had thicker, more curved horns. As it soared, sensing the powerful strength of the explosion, seeking the one that caused it. It hovered in the sky, scanning its eyes over the clouds, seeing the accursed one. Myth's sky blue eyes changed to gold.
Myth grabbed his cloak and pulled it off himself, revealing his bulking frame is no joke. He had on some kind of cybernetic armor, made out of the finest of metals (Dwarven). Without anything hiding his head, he had blonde hair, with scars running down his face, and face paint of a red line going over his right eye. On his back, was a sword. It was composed of metal plates going diagonal, the upper points stopping at the middle pointing upward, in a (^) formation. For the guard, was a cylindrical piece, and on the circles of both sides, was a symbol. It held the hourglass shape with a line down the middle, the same with the pommel. On the metallic handle was a fabric that wrapped around the grip like that of a katana. There were spots that were placed to hold each finger perfectly.
“Dovahkiin..." the dragon growled. The dragon and Myth stared hard and long at each other, before the dragon roared, and soared towards Myth's direction, and Myth gave a roar himself as he unfurled his large golden wings, and soared to the dragon's direction, with this battle being the first of many.
