Unbound

I woke up with a nasty headache. “Owww, where am I?” I looked around and found myself in a carriage being carried to gods know where.

“Hey, sugarcube, are y'all alright?” Said somepony in front of me. “What's yer name?”

“Umm, uhh, I'm Daragon.” I said. I looked up and saw she was absolutely beautiful. Blonde mane, freckles, and a strong character. “What's yours?”

“A'm Applejack.” She said a tad bit nervous. “Daragon, A think we may have been framed.”

“What makes you think that?” I asked.

“Well, when you were knocked out, A heard one of them Stormcloaks say we were thieves, I've never stole in mah life. A'm just an honest farmer” She said now in whispers, probably to try not to wake the other to ponies beside us.

“Well what do we do?” I whispered.

“Well, I really don't know but-”

“Hey shut up back there!” One of the guards driving yelled at us. “If you don't shut up I'll drag you to the
dungeon myself.”

We both slumped back to our seats. “We're going to die aren't we?” I mouthed.

She nodded painfully and started to cry.

I quickly sat next to her. “Hey, Hey, dont cry maybe the gods will give us another chance.” I said trying to comfort her.

She stopped crying and placed her head on my shoulder. “Thank you, A'm mighty honored to have you at my side at this time. Even if I barely know you.” She said wipening her tears away. “Why do y'all think we'll git a second chance, Daragon?”

“Well, I don't know but have faith, maybe they'll realize we're just a farmer and a petty adventurer.” I said as I caressed her mane. Then I got a strange feeling as if some pony was watching us. I looked around and saw a cream colored pegasus looking at me with big teary eyes. I shot her a glance and she quickly looked away, blushing a hot pink. I looked at the opposite direction and saw we were approaching a town called Helgen. I sighed. “Applejack, looks like we're here.”

“Well, it's been a real pleasure.” She said grimly.

As we got out of the carriage we were called one by one to go to get our heads chopped off by the headsman. “U-ulfric S-s-stormcloak, Jarl of Windhelm.” The cream colored pegasus said. A bearded pony passed her with a gag in his mouth. She looked at us confused as she kept flipping through the pages. “Um,could you two you, uh, step foward, if you don't mind.”

We took a few steps foward.

“Who are you?”

“I'm Daragon, and I'm from right here in Skyrim. And she's Applejack from ...”

“Skyrim also.” She finished.

“Oh, I'm sorry at least you'll be buried here in your homeland.” She looked at me sad. I bet she knew we didn't belonged there.

As we made our way to the block we heard the general talking to Ulfric. He was yelling about how he was a failure and not fit to be High King. Ulfric just groaned and went in line.

*ROAR*

“W-w-w-what was that?” Stuttered the cream colored pegasus.

“It's nothing, Fluttershy, lets get this show on the road.” Said the general.

The first pony went and kneeled down and closed his eyes. The headsman finished sharpening his axe and moved next to the pony. He raised his axe and it gleamed in the sun.

*KATHUNK*

The pony's headless body slumped on the ground.

I looked around to see who else was next and saw a captain pointing at Applejack. She approached the block and and placed her head on it. She looked at me, her freckled face was covered in tears. I almost started to cry myself. I only knew her for a few minutes but she was like a best friend to me. Then, I saw something big and black come down the mountain and my mouth fell open.

*ROAR*

“What in Oblivion is that!?” Yelled the general.

It landed on a guard tower behind the headsman. The dragon shouted in some ancient language and the sky turned red and meteors started to fall from the sky. It was total chaos. One of the meteors landed on the back of the headsman head killing him. I quickly made my way to her. “Applejack, get up we need to move.“ She didn't move, she was petrified with fear. I looked around and saw an open guard tower. I picked her up and carried her there. In there were a few injured Stormcloaks and Ulfric.

“Jarl Ulfric what is that? Could the legends be true?” Said one of the Stormcloaks.

“Legends don't burn down villages.” He said.

I gently placed Applejack on the floor for her to breath for a sec. “Are you Ok?”

“A'm fine, we need to git out of here.” She said looking up the staircase behind me.

A large crash was heard from above.

AJ and I climbed up the stairs and saw a bunch a rubble and a buried pony. A hole was blow out on the opposite side.

“We need to jump!” I yelled over the roar of the beast.

“Are y'all crazy we'll break our goddang necks!” She yelled back.

“There's a tavern at the other side, we could land on the bed.”

“ Well, I trust ya. Ok on the count of three.”

“1...2...are you ready?” I said.

“No!”

“Three! Jump!”

We both jumped through the hole and landed on the bed but we rolled off. She landed on top of me. “Are you ok?” I said.

“Yeah, A'm... a'm fine.” She then locked eyes with me.

A few seconds have passed and she was still on me. “Um, AJ could you get off me, we're still running for our lives here.”

She quickly got off me. “Oh, A-a'm sorry.”

We hopped down a hole and we we're back at ground level. Ahead I saw Fluttershy trying to get a little filly out of harms way.

“Umm, C'mon little guy we need to get you out of here.” The filly started moving toward her. Then when he was halfway there the dragon landed behind him.

“Yol...” The dragon started to say.

My body never reacted so fast in my life. I sprinted toward the kid, wrapped my arms around him and covered him from head to hoof.

“...Toor Shul.”

I felt a burning pain in my back but not as painful as I expected. The dragon began to fly away again to slaughter the rest of the town. I got up and put my hoof behind my back to check if I had burns. I didn't. “What in Oblivion happened?” I whispered. I realized I was still holding the kid and let him go.

Fluttershy went to tell the filly to go with somepony else behind her. AJ looked at me with amazement. “How did you do that?” Asked Fluttershy making her way to me.

“I have no idea...” I said taking in heavy breaths. “Fluttershy, do you know anywhere safe here?”

“Yes, there's a keep just around the corner, follow me.”She said as she motioned us to follow her.

We made it inside and Fluttershy told us to come closer so she can cut our bindings off. “There. Now around here there's a chest with armor and weapons for both of you. Go look for it while I go look for something for the burns.”

AJ and I started to look around for it. “I found it.” Yelled AJ.

“Well, that was fast.” I muttered.

Applejack opened the chest,which contained two sets of iron boots, gauntlets, two swords, an iron helmet, iron armor and studded armor.

“I'll take the studded armor and a set of the iron gauntlets and boots, a sword and you keep the rest, deal?” I offered her.

“I don't like helmets. Here, you keep it.” She said placing the horned helmet on my head. This time my white eyes were all over her green eyes. We leaned over to kiss each other.

“Hey, guys, I found some potions,” yelled Fluttershy. “I think they are heal- what are you guys doing?”

I looked at her and realized I was holding her a little too close to me. “Umm, uh, we were, uh...” I stammered.

“Keeping warm?” AJ finished and made a weird face.

“Yeah, because we are both, uhh... chilly.”

“Are you sure?” Fluttershy asked. We both nodded fast. “Because It looked like you were about to kiss.” At that exact moment we heard a couple of soldiers at the other side of the gate.

“Come on, Gilda, we need to get out of here.” A pony said.

“Shut up, can you see I'm trying to catch my breath here, stupid ponies.” A female voice said.

We stood silently as ever. Fluttershy came to me shaking. “That sounded like a griffin. Those creatures are very rare around these parts and worst of all they're...” She leaned closer to my ear. “Dangerous.”

I couldn't believe it, my step sister wanted me to travel half of Equestria to find just four griffin feathers. “Ok, AJ, do you have combat experience?”

“I sure have.” She whispered.

“Good. Fluttershy I need you to hang back a bit, Ok?”

She nodded.

“Ok, lets do this.” I pulled the lever and AJ and I made ourselves inside.

“Who in Talos' name are you?” The griffin said.

“I'm Daragon.” I answered. “Who are you?”

Before she could answer she unsheathed her claws. “They are imperials!” She accused us. “Stefan kill them!”

“Whoah, whoah, easy sweetheart. What makes you,think were imperials?” Said AJ as we both backed up to the wall.

The griffin pointed at the door we came through and Fluttershy was peeking through the metal bars. “Eeek” She shrieked and took off.

“Well on that note,” I said as we unsheathed our swords. “Bring it on, Bent beak.”

“Grrr, Stefan kill them!” She yelled.

The pony took a running start and swung his axe at us.

“DUCK!” I grabbed AJ's head and pushed it down.

The axe smashed the wall so hard it actually broke. AJ and I took that chance and we both stabbed him through the gut. He clutched his bleeding wounds and fell to the ground. “Give it up, you're out numbered!” I said.

“Ha! You think I need help? That's pathetic.” Gilda quickly lunged toward me and AJ. She dug her claws in my left cheek and she only scratched AJ's armor. I clutched my cheek and it was bleeding profusely.

“Hahaha, You imperials are a bunch of milkdri-” Before she could finish a arrow pierced her throat. She fell to the ground trying to pull off it off her.

AJ and looked at the door and Fluttershy came through it carrying a reddish bottle and she also had a bow on her back.

“That explains the arrow that saved our flanks.” I thought.

“Here drink this.” She said giving me the potion.

I drank it and the pain in my cheek stopped. “Is it healed?” I asked.

“Well, yes and no,” Fluttershy said. “The potion healed your wounds but they will remain as a scar.”

“I can live with that.” I informed her.“Let me collect a few feathers and tucked them.” We made a our way down, killed a few stormcloaks and made it to the torture room. The torture room was a mess everypony there was dead except one. “Fluttershy, give him a potion.”

“Nnnh don't. It's already late for me, but if you go down the cells you'll find a hole and continue on and you'll get out of here.” And with one last breath he died.

I closed his eyes and continued down were he told us. After a while we arrived at a huge cavern which was covered in webs. “Umm, guys how big are the spiders in Skyrim?” Asked Fluttershy.

“Well, theres the itibity ones that are like 5 centimeter long. Annnd then there's the frostbite spider which are huuuuge. Why do you ask?” I finished.

“Well, because there's like two huge ones and four babies coming down from the ceiling.”

AJ and I looked up and saw the six spiders coming down their webs. “Annnnd this is the part were we run.” We darted off but Fluttershy stood behind. “Fluttershy, what are you doing?!”

She didn't answer, she just stood there looking at them. For a second I thought we were going to to lose her but the spiders started to retreat. The spiders had finally gone back to their nest when she came trotting to us ever so happily.

“What in Mara's name happened?” Asked AJ.

“Oh that?” Fluttershy giggled. “That is just a special power I got.”

I was still pretty amazed from what I saw. A single pegasus just staring down six spiders, now that's story worthy!

“Ok lets keep moving. We still need to get out of here.” AJ reminded us.

We made our way through a,natural bridge on top of a tiny river.

“Daragon, Fluttershy wait,” AJ said behind us. “There's a bear over yonder.”

Shy and I looked ahead and saw the black bear sleeping. “Ok, lets see if we can sneak around it.” I said.

“Are y'all kiddin' me,” AJ whispered loudly. “A'm not getting near that thing!”

“We don't need to get close, look there a trail by the left.” Said Fluttershy pointing at the trail.

“Oh fine, we'll sneak around it.” AJ finally agreed.

We crouched down and made our way down the path. About
Halfway we heard a terrifying roar. The bear got up looked around and ran at the opposite direction we were going.

We all sighed in relief. “Hey I can feel a breeze.” I said as I made my way to the cave exit. I sighed with even more relief. “Hey guys, I found the exit!”

We exited to the outside world. Everything was as beautiful as it was the last time I saw it.

“Daragon, Applejack, this is where we part ways. I must go back to Solitude and report back to Tullius.” She said as she took off. “Oh and if you guys plan on joining the war could you, I mean if you don't mind, could you join the legion?”

“I was planning on joining the Legion. I knew today it was a misunderstanding so I'll let it slide.” I said.

“Yeah, A'll probably join too.” Applejack said.

“Ok guys I'll be going now.” And Fluttershy flew off and left me alone with AJ.

I turned to AJ. “Do you know anywhere we could go?”

“Well, there's Riverwood but we'll make it by midnight,” she said looking at the sun. It was probably like 5:30. “I heard theres a hunter's camp northeast from here, maybe we should go ther?”

“Ok.” We started to walk off in that direction. When we could smell the porkchop being cook we found a bright green pony with awesome sideburns, his cutie mark had words in it (which was rare.) It read: “Cutie mark of Darkness, then Redness, then Whiteness. Bless yo' face. If you sneezed while reading my flank, bless you.” He was also singing something. It sounded like this:

“This song sounds dramatic, but I'm bad at writing words. If you don't speak English this probably sounds pretty good...” We didn't hear anymore because he ran away screaming: “WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW”

“Well that was... Unique.” Applejack said. “And look we're here.”

The camp had three sleeping bags. One was already taken. “Umm, can you spare a couple of sleeping bags.” I said to the hunter poking the fire.

“Sorry, we have only one.” He said. “But it's big enough for the two of you.”

“Deal.” I gave him 5 pieces of gold I found in the keep and prepared the sleeping bag. We ate and drank until we were full. We took off our armor and sliped on the sleeping bag. The moons were were out and those weird color wall were out tonight it was truly beautiful.

“Hey, Daragon are you awake.” Applejack whispered.

“Mmhmm.”

“A'm sorry if A'm bothering you but, do you have family here in Skyrim?”

“I do actually, Twilight Sparkle? She's the herbalist and healer in Whiterun I was planning on staying with her.” I said getting comfy.

“But she's a unicorn and your and earth pony?” She said placing her hat next to her.

“I'm adopted. Her parents found me while they were gathering ingredients.”

“And where are they?”

I sighed. “They're dead, they were killed by stormcloaks while they were looking for some deathbells.”

“Oh A'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked.” She said looking away embarrassed.

“No, don't worry I feel glad you asked it gets tiring carrying that weight for a long time without anyone asking. And what about you AJ, do you have family here?”

“Yeah, mah granma, mah big brother Big Macintosh and my little sis Applebloom. They live in Riverwood the place we're heading to tomorrow.”

“Can't wait to meet your folks.” I said. The sky was beautiful buy the air was freezing cold.

“You're freezing,” She said. “Let me take care of that.”

She cuddled next to me and to be honest she was alot warmer.

“Good night, Applejack.”

“G'night, sugarcube.” She then kissed me on the cheek.

AUTHOR'S NOTES

OK, so this Chapter took longer cause I was focused on some personal stuff. So thanks for bearing with me.

END OF AUTHOR'S NOTE

It was around 3:40 a.m. when I got up. “Hmm, they are all sleeping... maybe I got time.” I slipped on some trousers and went for a stroll. The forest was quiet, the only thing I could hear was the crickets chirping and the occasional early morning bird. After a few minutes of walking I found a small pillar with the Talos statue on top. “It's incredible its still here.” I said. That spot had been my sanctuary since I was a little colt. There was an ominous light coming from the statue that let out some kind of tranquil energy, it felt like if was entering the Temple of the Divines in Solitude. “Better get this over with before somepony sees me.” I took out my Talos amulet and placed it next to the statue and began to pray.

“Daragon...”

I was startled. That voice sounded too heavenly to be from Equestria. “W-who's there?” I stuttered as I scanned the forest behind me. There was nothing behind me. I reached for my sword but the sheath was empty. “Damn.”

“Daragon.” This time the voice sounded closer. I turned back to the statue only for it to be replaced by a blue alicorn in golden armor. “Good morning lad.”

I was speechless. Who was he? Was he one of the Divines? “W-who are you?” I said trying to sound calm.

“I am known by many names but those from here, Skyrim, call me Talos.” I nearly fainted. I was talking to the actual Talos! “Now tell me lad, what are you doing here?”

I gulped. “I-I-I came here to pray, sir.”

“Ah, yes, the Thalmor have prohibited my worship and now the people of Skyrim has to worship me in secret.” He said. There was no hint of anger in his voice. Just... Emptiness.

“Sir, if you don't mind me asking, what do you think of Ulfric Stormcloak?” I said.

He let out a deep belly laugh (Which sounded more like thunder). “Son, I couldn't think lower of him.” He suddenly stopped laughing and looked at me directly in the eye. “His greed has taken a lot of lives. He also...” He shot a pained look at me. “You're Daragon right?”

I nodded.

“Ah yes, now I remember, you always came here when you were a little colt. And what a fine stallion you have grown up to be.” He said

“Thank you,sir. Now about what you were saying...” I said as my heart banged against my ribcage.

“Sorry lad, sometimes I get a little carried away.” I hoped I hadn't offended him. “As I was saying, he also killed... your parents.”

My heart skipped a beat. I heard they were killed by Stormcloaks but I didn't know he killed them personally. I felt neither sadness nor vengeance. “Are they in Sovnguard?” I asked.

“Yes, your dad is pretty nice with lute, and your mom has a beautiful voice.” He said with a smile in his face.I felt a tear running down my cheek. “Now,” He said rubbing his hooves together. “Let me tell you why I came to talk to you in the first place. You, Daragon, have a special quest here in Skyrim.”

“Who, me? But I'm just you're average pony. I'm nothing special.” I said.

“Oh, on the contrary, lad.” He said putting his hoof on my shoulder. “You are very special. In fact you'll be saving the world, and your name will be remembered for eras to come.” He said as he raised his hoof.

“B-b-but, what do you mean?” What was he talking about? Like I said, I'm just an average pony. How could somepony like me would save the world? That's not possible!

“Your destined for great things Daragon, and all that will be revealed soon enough.” He said that and just... disappeared. Poof. Banished. Without a trace.

“Daragon, sugarcube, where are you?!” I heard Applejack calling for me.

“Oh, shit!” I grabbed my neckless and put it in my pocket. “I'm coming Applejack! Get the gear ready!!”

I made my way back to camp. It was probably 8 o' clock by now. “How long was I there?” I said looking up the sky.

“Hey, Daragon, the hunters said that they had some fishin' to do, so they left early.” She said strapping her boots on.

“Then maybe we should go too.” I said as I put on my armor.

“I couldn't agree more.” She said. “This forest gives me the creeps.”

The road to Riverwood was uneventful. It was probably around ten a.m. when we got there.

“Sis, is that you?!” Said a little filly coming to hug Applejack. “I missed you so much!” She said as she lept up to hug Applejack.

“Applebloom!” She said hugging her closer. “Ah missed you to lil' sis.”

“Umm, Applejack, who's this?” She said looking at me.

“Oh, him? This stallion right here saved mah life. I'm going to accompany him to Whiterun.”

“Ooohhh...” She then whispered something in Applejack's ear and they both giggled.

“What?” I said.

Applejack leaned over. “She thinks you're cute.”

I blushed like crazy.

“He Granny Smith inside the house I should take you to her.” Said Applebloom hopping up and down on the spot. “She'll be so exited to see you!”

We walked up to where Applejack lives and entered the house. “Granny Smith, look who I found!” Yelled Applebloom.

“Dang nabit, girl, what did Ah tell ya about yelling in the house.” We heard some hoofsteps coming from the basement and up the ladder. “Now, what could be so important so you can interrupt mah beauty sleep.” She gasped when he saw AJ. “Applejack, wh-what happened? You look like ya you just came out of one yer bar fights.”

Applejack blushed. “Grandma, please!” She whispered. “No, we- we where looking for a place to stay.”

“Well sure,” Granny Smith pulled up a chair. “But that doesn't answer my question: Why do ya look so beat up?”

Applejack sighed. “W-we were attacked by a dragon at Helgen. Were probably the only ones who survived along with a pegasus.”

Granny Smith looked baffled. “Are ya sure ya aren't drunk Applepie?”

AJ nodded.

Granny Smith looked at me. “Is this true?”

I nodded slowly. “It's all true...”

“Well,” she sighed. “We are pretty short on guards and were goin' to need a few more guards. You, Daragon, A need you to go to Jarl Rarity and tell her we need more guards.”

I smiled. “It'll be my pleasure.” I turned to Applejack. “Care to join me?”

AJ nodded. “Lets...”

We came out of the house and I felt a small tug on my armor. I turned around and found Applebloom holding up a sword.

“Here, take this. This sword will protect you and will help you take care of my big sis.” She said with big googly eyes.

I take the sword and swung it a bit. It was made of a pretty strong steel, the tip was pointy enough to stab, and the hilt was dark leather and iron with a ruby with the shape of a tiny apple. “Wow Applebloom! This sword looks deadly.” I knelt down and kissed her on the fore head. “Thank you.”

She blushed a bit. “Ah it's nothin'. I made it myself. Now please take care of my sis.”

“I will don't worry.” I patted her head. We turned around and went down the stairs to the center of Riverwood. Then a door swung open and a couple of ponies came out.

“Well! What are you gonna do about it?!” The female one said with a angry tone.

“Were going to do nothing! No treasure lookin, no thief chasing!” The male pony said.

The female pony humphed and went away. The male pony sat down on a nearby chair.

I went to him. “Um, sir is there a problem?”

He looked up. “Oh, nothing... Just had a bit of the break in. They stole a golden claw... Only that.”

“Oh, I could... Go get it for you...”

“R-really? Oh, I got beats coming on my next shipment, it's yours if you get it back. What do you say?”

“I-” I was spun around and faced Applejack.

“What the hay, Daragon?! We were going to see the Jarl!” She whispered.

“Hey, easy AJ. We'll get to that. But right now we need bits to get around. We won't buy supplies without bits neither.”

“*Hmph* Fine!”

I turned around and faced the shop keeper. “We'll take it!”

“Oh, good! They said they were going to Bleak Falls Barrow.” He pointed towards the mountain behind AJ's house. “You just need to go up the road turn next and head up the mountain and you'll find it.”

“Ok, don't worry, we'll get that claw for you.”

*An hour later.*

“Ok were here, AJ.” I said breathing heavily. “I hate mountains.” I looked ahead and saw a tower. “Hey, we could camp there.” I said pointing at the tower.

“Oh ok I brought my sleeping bag.” She said looking through her bag. “It's big enough for both of us.”

As we got closer we could hear some screams.

“Are you going to tell us were your money is?”

“I ain't scared of you!” A brief pause. “I'm frickin' terrified!” That voice sounded familiar...

“Oh just tell us were do you keep your money!”

As me and AJ came closer we peeked through a open doorway and saw what they were doing. They had the green pony from yesterday on binds and he was beat up pretty badly. “AJ, we need to save this pony. Any ideas?” I whispered.

“I got one. I could could take that one with my dagger and you take those two with dual wielded swords.”

“Ok lets do this.” I crept behind the two in front of the green pony and waited for AJ to get in position. “Are you ready?” I mouthed. She nodded. She crept up behind him, grabbed his head and slashed his throat. I unsheathed my weapons and stabbed them throught the heart. We cleaned ourselves from the blood and moved the carcasses outside. “AJ you set up the sleeping bag let me look at the prisoner.” I came closer to him and noticed he had passed out. I remembered Twilight taught me a few healing spells. I cleaned up a table, put some candles around him for warmth. I then casted a healing spell on him and saw his wounds banish, but he didn't wake up. I put my ear on his chest and waited for a beat.

*Thunk-Thunk*

I breathed a sigh of relief. “Ok his alive...” I left the candles on so he doesn't die of hypothermia.

“Daragon, Sugarcube, A've finished setting up the sleeping bag.” She called behind me.

“I'm coming!” I took a second glance at him and went to AJ.

“Is he okay?” She said.

“Yeah he was pretty beat up though...”

“He'll be fine, lets get some sleep.” She said slipping in on the sleeping bag.

“Yeah.” I took off my armor since me and AJ were earth ponies we felt little cold. I slipped in the sleeping bag and looked at the stone roof.

“Your destined for great things Daragon...” Those words Talos said kept ringing in my head.

Bleak Falls Barrow pt.1

I sat there arguing with Applejack. I took quick glances at the pony next to me. “AJ... We can't leave him in the cold like this... he could die.”

She sat on the floor looking irritated. “Daragon. He's going to die anyway... He doesn't even look like he can defend himself.”

“Really? Because I found these in his pack...” I took the pack and opened it. Inside there were elven arrows, orchish arrows and some fire salts in there, probably to keep warm. “He also had this on him...” I showed her a Ancient Earth Pony Bow. “He's probably more badass than the two of us.”

She sighed. “Ok, point taken and- hey! What's this?” She pulled out a odd looking box. It had weird lights and buttons. AJ pulled open a small square from the side of the box and hit a button. It sprang to life and a magical moving picture appeared.

It started with him walking through the the same mountain we had come up. “A-Audience!? W-what are you doing following through this tall, freezing mountain?” He put up an awkward grin. “Anyway, this video's going to be short 'cause I'm nearing a thieves den... They stole from me annnnd I'm going to get my stuff back. And I'm not scared...” He smiled and then looked At the box seriously. “...I'm frickin terrified. Anyway, this has been Toby “Tobuscus” Turner. Bado-do-do-do-do subscribe!” He put his hoof on the box. “Outro of Darkness, then Redness, then Whiteness! Peace off. Boop!!” AJ and I looked at each other.

“Hey! What the hell are you doing with that?” We heard from behind us.

AJ got startled and dropped the box.

Before it hit the floor I grabbed it and handed it to him. “Are you umm, ok?”

“Well yeah, but were is my stuff and the thieves?” He said giving us a look and began to inspect the box.

I handed him his bag. “Here it is. And the bandits, we killed them. Your name is Toby right?”

He grabbed the bag and put his stuff back in there. He saw some leather armor and put it on. “Ahh... That makes it so much warmer...” He looked at us and smiled awkwardly. “Yeah, I'm Toby.”

I go for a hoof shake. “I'm Daragon.”

He doesn't shake my hoof. “Nice to meet you, but I gotta go murder some thieves.” He went for the door and stopped when he saw Applejack. “hothothothothot.” And he continued onward.

Applejack gave me a weird look and I shrugged as I went after the green pony. “Hey, are you by any chance going to bleak falls barrow?”

He nodded. “Yeah a clan of thieves stole my junk and I'm going to get it back.”

“Well do you need any help? Me and AJ are going there right now.”

He shrugged. “Yeah I could use some help...”

“Great.” I turned to Applejack. “C'mon AJ lets go.”

She sighed. “'Kay lets go...”

We went to the barrow and found the entrance empty. “Why is the place so empty?” I asked.

“There probably inside. Lets just take it easy, ok guys?” AJ said behind us.

Toby and I looked at each other and we unsheathed our weapons. “Ok I'll open the door and you clear inside, ok?”

He nodded and pulled out an arrow. “Ok lets do this...”

I opened the door and let him in. “Ok its clear. Lets go murder some ponies.”

We hurried on inside and close the door gently. “Ok lets g-” I was cut from hoofsteps coming towards us.

“You think that dark unicorn will keep his part of the deal?” A mare voice said.

“You worry to much.” That one was a stallion.

“With good reason! I want my share from that damn claw”

“Oh shut it and keep an eye out.”

We sneaked to a pillar. “What now?” I said.

Toby looked at me with a confident grin. “Watch this.” He took two arrows and prepared to fire. He took a steady breath and shot them. One of the arrows Hit the stallion in the stomach and the other missed the mare. “Oh, GODDANGIT!” The mare reacted quickly and pulled out her axe and began to charge at Toby. I came out of the hiding place and stabbed her in the chest. “Well that went better that expected...” He said taking in a breath.

“Yeah... Hey, you guys I found a chest.” She opened it and a few bags of gold and potions were inside.

I took a bag of gold and a potion and spotted a stair case. “I'll go on ahead. You guys catch up.” I walked down the stairs and turned the corner and spot some shelves and spot some healing potions, a few healing spell books and some ruined books too. A book caught my eye. It was dark and nearly on the point of being completely useless. I open it and make out a few sentences in the process. “Dragonborn... not just a mortal... dragon soul... Destined... Alduin... destroy-” Somepony grabbed the back of my head and smashed me against the shelf, completely destroying the book in the process.

I clutch my now broken nose as it bled. “Owhow!” I see the pony in front of me and he was huge and buff. He grabbed me and threw me against a wall. I fell on the ground. He took out his axe and swung at were I was laying on the ground. I roll to the left as it was about to hit me and a large thud rang in my ears.

“Your dead now stupid pony!” He said as he lifted his axe upward. I roll backward and the axe misses me and gets stuck on the ground. I unsheathed my sword and charged at him. Next thing I knew I had the wind kicked out of me. I fell to the ground gasping and wheezing.

“Haha! Pathetic excuse for a earth pony, I'll kill you with my bear hooves!” He sat on my chest pushing out the little air I have collected. He put his hooves around my neck and began to strangle me.

“Ackk! *cough*” I start hitting him in the abdomen but he looks as it bearly does nothing. I was starting to see black but I spotted my sword just a few meters away and try to grab it.

“Haha! Stupid pony!” He grabbed my hoof and began to smack it against the floor and I heard a snap as I felt a short but painful feeling in my arm. “I'm goin' to brea-” We heard a sword piercing skin sound and we both looked at his chest. I saw the point of a the sword that pierced him bearly touching mine. His eyes roll back and gets pushed away by AJ.

I let out a few pained grunts and coughs as I got up. “Th-thanks *cough* AJ... You saved my life.”

She didn't say anything but hugged me tight as her eyes watered up. I let out a painful grunt. “Oh, s-sorry, are y'all ok?”

“If by ok you mean nearly beaten to death and strangled, then yes I am.” I smile. “Yes I'm fine I just need a potion or two.”

“That arm isn't goin' to heal with just a potion, sugarcube, we're going to need a healer.”

I start chugging one of my potions. “Lets just finish this and we'll go to Whiterun and- hey, where's Toby?”

“He said he had stuff ta do so he left. I asked him if he wanted to join us, but he said no.”

I sighed. “Well, ok... we'll just have to continue on. Like I was saying, we'll visit my sis for a place to stay and then mail the claw to the shopkeeper.”

“And when we visit your sister you'll get that arm fixed, right?”

“Yes AJ, Lets just finish this first...” I said as I moved foward. We passed a few rooms and we reached a corridor with large webs in it.

“H-Hey! You, please save me! That spider could be here any second!” A dark unicorn that was imprisoned in a web like wall, whispered to us. We made our way to him, watching for anything that moves. He looked at me and laughed silently. “Looks like Gregthor gave you quite.”

I look at him. “Just shut up and tell me where is the claw!”

“It's in my pocket, but since I'm tangled up I cran give it to you...”

“You better give it to me when I finish here...” I start cutting the web until I free him.

He falls and gets up. “Th-thank you! You are a- Big Spider!” He points behind us and runs deeper into the catacombs.

“Hey! Get back here!”

“Umm, Daragon... he's right.” AJ says with fear in her voice.

I look behind us and see a Huge spider coming from a hole. I begin to charge at it and manage to cut one of its legs, but it kicks me with another and sends me flyir to a wall. The last thing I see before passing out is AJ being dragged into the hole in which the spider came from.

Authors notes:

Ok just to tell you that I liked the Toby being a companion idea until later in the story when I realized I couldn't do his personality so I just got rid of him. So yeah, I hope I didn't make you guys hate me for doing that but that's it for this chapter I hope you enjoyed it. Oh, and please give your opinion on the fighting scene please. :3
