The Dragon of Tamriel

POV: Wolkiimrel

Hah........'friend' so this is what it feels like to be called that. I feel.........good, maybe I can find peace in this world.

I stepped out of the shadow beneath the tree I was under. When I got up to my full height I heard a gasp. I looked at Star Swirl with a nervous expression on his face. I then gave him a confused "What?"

He then said back to me "Your a lot bigger than I thought you were." Are dragons around here really small or something? Well if I decide to stick around long enough then I may just find out. I then started to walk forward but with every step that I took the ground shook beneath me.

We started to search the forest for thirty minutes all the while Star Swirl was calling out the names of the two foals. Eventually I noticed that Star Swirl was getting nervous. I however wasn't afraid of the forest because of my abilities. I don't think that Star Swirl has been this deep into whatever this forests name is.

"........HELP US!!!! ANYBODY!!!" We both definitely heard that and Star Swirl sprinted really quickly in front of me. I decided to walk knowing that the ponies we were rescuing were young. I didn't want them to get scared and run away again.

When I caught up I noticed that Star Swirl was fighting three weird looking creatures. They had the head of a lion, wings and a.....stinger? What kind of devilry am I looking at? I noticed that my camo kicked on because the foals didn't see me behind Star Swirl.

"Star Swirl!!!!!" The white one which I assumed was Celestia yelled out. I then noticed a small dark blue one behind her sobbing. They may not be dragons but they are still young and whatever fatherly instinct I had kicked in. Just when I was about to speak Star Swirl spoke before me. "Step away from the foals creatures."

I cant believe a pony so small would stand up to three menacing animals. But I then decided to talk to Star Swirl quiet enough for only him to hear.

"Star Swirl, listen I have an idea on how to get them to leave." I said getting his attention.

He then said to me without turning his head "What do you have in mind my friend?" Man I still need to get use to being called friend.

I then explained my plan to him "Since I have sturdy scales I'll engage them, you get Celestia and Luna and all three of you get on my back and I can get you all out of here." He then smiled at me then looked at the foals.

Both of them had a look of terror that for whatever made me want to protect them with everything I have. I then said to Star Swirl "I'm gonna deactivate my camo get ready." I noticed that all three of those creatures were waiting for an attack.

I then decided now would be a good time to attack. As soon as my camo went away and the lion creatures had a nervous expression on their faces. I also noticed Celestia and Luna were looking at me and Star Swirl with awe in their eyes.

I then said to Star Swirl "Go to them while these things are focused on me.'' He nodded and then ran over to the foals who embraced him in a hug as he got over to them.

While this was happening one of these creatures swung its tail at me. Star Swirl then said to me "Watch out those Manticores have poisoned tails." So that's what they are called 'Manticores' well it about time I had fought something.

FO KRAH DIIN

I shouted and a wave of frost came out of my mouth and hit one of the Manticores. It screamed in agony as it was feeling its body began to freeze up. One of the other ones hopped onto my back and started to slash and claw into my back. Most of them didn't do anything but some of them managed to do some damage.

I then slammed my back into a tree and knocked it off my back. I then turned to it and then I prepared another shout.

FUS RO DAH

The manticore that I had just hit went flying back and took a few trees with it. With that I turned to the last manticore and it came running at me. I swiped my paw at it and it went back at least 15 feet. As soon as I hit the manticore I then yelled at Star Swirl "Come on get onto my back and hold on!!!"

All of them complied and got onto my back as the surviving manticore got up. I opened my giant wings and flapped and we got airborne. I could feel all three of them holding onto my back spikes. As I looked back I could see the smiles on the foals faces.

(MUSIC END)

Celestia then spoke up "Thank you mister for saving us!!" It warmed my heart to hear that, even though I am a dragon both of the foals are kinda cute.

I then said back to them "There is no need to thank me for the help." But all I got were confused faces and I realized that they cannot understand me. I then turned to Star Swirl and said "Do you think you can make it so that they can understand me when I am speaking?"

He then nodded his head and then used his magic like before. I then turned to them and said "Can you understand me now young ones?" The smiles on their faces grew and they nodded happily.

I then repeated what I said "What I said was that you don't need to thank me for my help."

Before I could say another word the younger one Luna spoke up. "What was that shouting that you did there. Was that some kind of magic?" I laughed at that.

"No my dear friend shouts are abilities that dragons can use where I'm from." I then explained to them the basic concepts of shouting and using my voice to make a Thu'um.

I then noticed a city carved into the mountain and heard Celestia yell behind me. "Wow!! Were already at Canterlot you fly fast mister.......," I then remembered I never did introduce myself.

"My name Wolkiimrel or Wolk for short, and this is Canterlot right?" I was terrible with city names, never was good at it and never will be.

I then heard Star Swirl yell "Land in the castle courtyard." I then saw a bunch guards aiming their bows at me and had their swords drawn.

"Your going to have to talk with all you guards down there." I then looked back him "They don't look very happy." If these fools think they can beat me id like to see them try.

When I landed one of the guards which I assumed was the leader yelled at me. "HALT dragon surrender now or you will be shot." I didn't say anything then turned sideways to let everyone off. I heard a bunch of gasps and I saw what looked like to be a bunch of nobles.

GGGRRRR.........the way all of them are looking at me are making annoyed. I then turned to Star Swirl and he said "I'll go talk to the guards. I noticed that the guards bowed to him as he walked by. Well the only thing to do now is wait for some good news.
