Everyone had rushed to the library when Twilight had explained the situation. Rainbow Dash was hovering in the air shadowboxing while everypony else had formed a semicircle around Twilight to hear her read the letter out loud."I will come to speak to you when I can figure out where it has appeared. Huh, the princess really needs a royal spell checker. So what do you think girls?" asked Twilight. " Ah reckon we should wait and see just as the princess says. What you think Shy?" Applekack asked. Fluttershy hid behind her mane. "Um I agree with Applejack, this creature sounds really scary." Said Fluttershy. Rarity was brushing her mane with her magic holding the brush." This dreadful creature sounds like a ruffian from everfree forest.By chance do you think it shall appear there Twilight?" asked Rarity. Pinkiepie setting down a tray of sweetrolls on the coffee table. " Pinkie what are you doing?" asked Rainbow dash. "Im setting out a tray of sweetrolls for the monster! I hope Butch 101 doesn't steel them!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Whos Butch 101?" asked Applejack. " Butch is that little colt who stole my first batch and ran off with them." Said Pinkie." who cares about Butch, i want to know why your laying out treats for a monster?" asked Rainbow." How did you come up with them sweetrolls anyway pinkie?" asked Applejack. "Oh i got the idea from my friend sanguine. He showed me how to make them."said pinkie. All the mares look at each other in confusion. "Pinkie whos this sanguine feller?"asked Applejack. All of the mares were staring at pinkie waiting for an answer."Oh he's this pony with horns, and he comes to and loves all my parties! pinkie exclaimed."Wait how can a pony have horns and why haven't we seen him?" asked Twilight." Oh he only comes when there's a party and said he could get real trouble if his brothers or sisters ever knew he was here so he never stays." said Pinkie. Twilight,Applejack,Rarity,Rainbow and Fluttershy were completely confused at this point so they dropped the subject as pinkie being pinkie. " Going back on subject girls, we have to be ready, i suppose we all stay here and wait for the princess to find the creature."said Twilight. "Sounds like a plan"said Applejack. "If i must "said Rarity."Ok, if thats what you want" said Fluttershy."uuugh come on Twi"complained Rainbow."Come on dash i got some daring do books you could read to pass the time." and with that Twilight and Rainbow walk over to a bookshelf to look for the daring do series and everypony else(and spike) went on to idle things while they waited for the Princess to message them. -Meanwhile in the black-hole- "AAAAAAAAAHHHHH.AAAAAAHHHHHH!!" OK falling into a sightless, dark, and overall FRIGHTENING portal after getting kicked off a bridge by a deadra was a little startling.So much that I couldn't stop screaming. (Although i should have ran out of air an hour ago.) While screaming i calculated that i had been falling for an hour or so. Where ever i was being sent to, it was taking a long time to get there. I took inventory and realized i still had everything as far as could tell. My lute and my magic pack filled with all the things i couldn't leave the house without, all tucked in my sleeveless chainmail chestpiece.(Author:small detail, will come in later) As i started to stop screaming, i saw an image quickly approaching. The image i saw was a shelf in what seemed to be a library.As i realized i was going straight into it, i did what anyone flying into a wall would do...i screamed. "AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" I yelled as passed through the portal, facefirst into a shelf and fell on the ground knocking books off the shelves,and on to my body. I thought i heard a few startled gasps and an "eep" as i drifted into unconsciousness. -The library 5 minutes before the crash- During the wait the mane six(and Spike) found idle things to do while they waited.Rarity had convinced spike to brush her mane while she looked at herself in a mirror." As much as i adore my mane, i need something new and fresh. Do you think so spikey?" Rarity asked. Spike continued to brush her mane as he said."Oh you know me Rarity i think you look pretty no matter what you what you look like." "aaw! that sweet of you spike but i think i should change it up a bit."said rarity.Applejack and(forcibly by applejack)Fluttershy was still trying to pry some information about sanguine from pinkie. "Come on Pinkie! How come none of us seen 'em?"asked Applejack."Well he kinda sounds like one of my goat friends with those horns you mentioned."said Fluttershy. "No he's just a pony with horns!" said pinkie "Come on guys its just pinkie being pinkie." "What ever you say dash"said AJ as she went into the kitchen to bake a pie for the wait.Twilight was finishing sorting the new books. While rainbow was reading a DD book on the couch."Aaaand done. Now i can we pla-what is that noise?" She and the other mares start to hear, what could only be described as a 'noise', coming from what seemed to be the air."What the hay is that?!"said applejack as she walked out of the kitchen.A black portal appeared in front of twilight and she jumped to the side.She puts an ear towards the portal." i think its coming from here." The rest of the mane six walked to the portal, keeping to the sides of it. "AHHHHH" "Ah think its screaming"said AJ."AAAAAHHHHH-*slam*." Suddenly a metal clad creature flew out of the portal, slammed into the shelf of new books and knocked them all off and landed on the metal creature. "WHAT THE HAY?"said AJ "YAY! said Pinkiepie. "WHAT THE?"said RD. "BY CELESTIA!"said Rarity. "Eep!" said Fluttershy as she hid behind the couch. "MY BOOKS!!!!"said Twilight. Introductions(and Twilight has a nerdgasm)-The library- I woke up minutes later as you could exspect still on the floor covered head to toe in books.I slowly slid my hand to my face and almost reeled back at what I felt. From the blood dripping out of nose and how soft my face was, I could tell things had been broken.'Have...to get...up.' I managed to think as my head hurt just as much as my face. As I pushed myself up I started to hear voices and then gasps.'Who's ever library I crashed into, I hope they can forgive me for intruding.'I thought as got to my feet and readied my hand for a healing spell. I kept my eyes closed in concentration. As i released my concentration i felt the bones in my face heal and opened my eyes.I opened my eyes to see...6 small brightly colored horses.'not the strangest things I've seen.' I thought. "Um hello...horses?" I said not really prepared for the reaction i got. All six horses gasped and backed up.All except one. the pink colored horse bounced up to me, how she did this i did not know. "HiImpinkiepiewhatsyourname?"It said in one breath. To be honest i was not prepared for it to speak."Aah!"I yelled. A horse with a rainbow mane and...wings?It flew at the pink one and caught it, covered it's mouth midair. "Pinkie what are doing?It said. "Did it just talk?!"said the lavender one. "Eep" said the yellow one hiding behind what i thought was furniture. "What the hay is it?"said the orange one. The lavender one walked a bit closer to me cautiously. "Um hello Can. You. Speak?" It said slowly. Considering how many times I've had dealings with talking animals and objects, I have chose always to keep calm as possible. "Yes I can speak, I have to ask...who are you and where am I?" I asked. It was obviously taken back by my speech but straightened her posture. "My name is Twilight Sparkle and your in Equestria." 'Huh new realm populated with horses that can talk. Well its obvious that I'm gonna be here for LONG time.'I thought. I had made a spell long ago that would allow me to change what i'm wearing on the go. Since I knew introductions were going to be a while i "Insta-changed" into my black fine clothing and took off my turbin to let down my hair. It was a simple black set of robes with a belt, and my hair was long tied back dreadlocks.All the ponies were surprised my sudden change of clothing. "Did you just do magic?!" asked Twilight. "Why yes i did, i wanted to get comfy because i know these introductions are going to be long. So what are you?"I said. At this point the mare had a excited look on her face as levitated a quill and parchment and started to speak. " Were ponies, but i want to know how can do magic without a horn, what are you,where your from and what your name is."she said in an excited tone. "Well first of all, I'm human, second most humans with the mind to do magic can do magic,third i come from from the dimension of nirn, and forth ( and you should have asked this first) is Le'son Onsi traveling bard, dragonborn, arch-mage of the mage's college, and ender of the skyrim civil war." I said."Also you may have forgotten about you friends behind you." "Yeah Twi you could had let us introduce ourselves before you went on converse'n with the monster."Said the orange one. "Ello there Mr.Onsi ah'm Applejack." "I'm Rarity and I must say your attire is beautiful" said the white one with amazing hair. "Hmpf, I'm Rainbow dash and you better not try anything funny"said the rainbow maned pony. "Um I'm Fluttershy and if its fine with you I'm gonna stay back here" she said from behind the couch. "WANT A SWEETROLL?!" said the one known as Pinkiepie as she apeared out of nowhere with a tray of sweetrolls. "Um no thank you miss." I said still trying to figure out where she came from.All the mares started to form a semi-circle around me. "With introductions out of the way, you said you were dragonborn, what is that?" asked Twilight. "Yeah what is that, was your mom or dad a dragon?" asked a voice from behind me. I turned around and it took every fiber of my being not to go on the offensive. Behind me was a small dragon. Sure I was friends with two WAY bigger dragons but I was still un-easy around them. "Are you a dragon?" I asked the little drake. "Um yeah, my name is Spike why?" said the drake. "Then you wont like this story. Before I go on i must let you know that the dragons of my realm are evil, vile creatures. They are intelligent but most use this intelligence to destroy and conquer." They all looked shocked at this. "Thats horrible, but please tell us what is a dragonborn?"asked Twilight. "A dragonborn is a person blessed by the gods to permenitly vanquish dragons by absorbing their souls. But before you judge me for this, know that dragons respect those who can defeat them. While I absorb them they pass an understanding to me of how to use their power out of that respect. In fact I have two dragon friends and one of them can explain their nature" I explained. The six mares calmed down but Spike was still uneasy. "So they dont die angry?"asked Fluttershy. "No, in fact they live through me and help me understand their power." I said. "So what is this power these dragons have?"asked Twilight. "In my realm dragons use their very language to project fire, ice, and other abilities, actually i would like to have Spike's help demonstrating this." I said looking at Spike. He still looked afraid of me. I couldn't blame him. I just told him that I could kill him and eat his soul. So I'll have to gain his trust. And i had a suspicion that the other mares didn't trust me. 'I'll have to remedy that' I thought. "Well lets not get ahead of ourselves,we still need to wait for the princess to see you."said Twilight. "Who is this princess?" i asked. Twilight smiled at this."She's the ruler of equestria and raiser of the sun." 'Didnt Azura say something about the sun raiser before she KICKED me over the bridge?' I thought. "Well then in the mean time you can have someone watch me while we wait,though i promise i wont be any trouble." I said as 3 mares disbanded from the semi-circle.Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkiepie stayed. Rarity and Applejack talked while Pinkiepie was still offering me sweetrolls. "So what's with that there hair do of yours?" asked AJ. "Yes what is that hair style? asked Rarity. "They're called dreadlocks my dear. And i must say your hair is beautiful."I said. I could not lie, regal hair that wasn't a mess was a rare find in skyrim. She blushed at my flattery. "Dreadwhat now?" asked Applejack confused. "Dreadlocks, its a method of twisting and wetting hair until it becomes like this(A/N I may be Jamaican but I sure AS HELL dont know how to make dreads.)but obviously its worth the challenge." I said. "Clearly."said Rarity. " Ah just dont get why y'all go to all that trouble for yer hair."said Applejack "Le'son,please tell you'll teach me how to do this hair stlye after you meet the princess." I smiled"Of course I will Miss Rarity but while we wait why dont i play you all a song." I said as i pulled my lute out of my magic bag in my robes and started playing as the song went on everyone stopped and listened totally captivated. No one noticed the flash of golden light and when the light died a white unicorn with wings and flowing rainbow hair stood there. She looked at the crowd that gathered around me and she began to look angry. " HOW DARE YOU ENTHRALL MY SUBJECTS." Oh Sod"Oh sod”. I managed to say before I was pelted with blasts of green energy I knew all too well as parelization.Multiple shots hit me in quick repetition. Luckily after so many magical mishaps at the college i learned to be over-cautious and carry with me 2 pieces of anti-magic items with me at all times. That gold ring just saved my hide. The Mare stopped firing magic and i just stood there perfectly still just for what Delvin would call "shits and giggles". “Princess what are you doing?!” Yelled twilight. “He was enthralling you with his spell!” She said who I now know as Celestia “He was playing beautiful music and you just blasted him!” Yelled Rarity. "You may have gone bit overboard sugarcube.”said Applejack “I'm still here you know” I said suddenly They all looked to me surprised “Why are not a statue and how do you speak?” asked Celestia “I carry with me enchanted items that can absorb magic at all times and I am human” “Enchantments? Well you’re obviously not a neanderthal, why are you in my dimension what were you doing to my little ponies?” She asked (A/N: TWICE! that is exactingly how many times I’m going to say that damn line.) “Like rarity said princess the monkey was just his guitar thing” said Rainbow “Its called a lute” I said with distain. What ‘eves she replied “I still would like to know what you are doing in my dimension” said Celestia ‘I might as well not hold back’ I thought. “I was banished here by the deadric prince Azura. “ “What is a deadric prince, is he the lord of you dimention?” Asked twilight “Yes and no daedric princes are powerful creatures from another dimension called oblivion that can interact with my dimension of nirn but do not rule over it as much as they believe to” “There are more than one?” asked twilight “16 to be precise” I said “How can a kingdom function like that?” “Nirn is not a kingdom its an entire dimension of different races, the aldmeri, bosmer,orcs,nords, argonian…” I went on. “You still haven’t answered me” “Oh sorry, I was banished here as part of my punishment.” “What exactly did you do to be sent to another dimension?” To explain I took out the sword I still had at my side “This blade was once a mix of gem and stone that belonged to Azura but after what I did to it became this.” They all stared at the blade not taking their eyes off of it “How did this “gem” become a sword?” Asked Rarity. “The gem itself was made by Azura to hold the souls of the living creatures I bound my rivals soul to it so that he could get the punishment he deserved.” “What the hay did somepony do to get rangled up like that?” I took a deep breath I didn’t want to have to tell these people so soon but it was going to be unavoidable. “This man destroyed my village as a show of his strength and laughed as he did it.” I said. They all reeled back at my statement with a look of horror. “How could anypony do something like that?” In the Aldmeri dominion all generals must have a great feat under their belt to reach that rank. Logain aegis or as the hammerfell resistance calls him the shield of terror, defeated my heavelily fortified town with only a ward. I had long gotten over my emotions for that part of my sad tale but how my parents died that day is a story for those I would grow close to. “That horrible, I hate to admit it but someone capable of that deserves to be locked in a prison”. Said Celestia. I could hear sadness in her voice. I would like to apologize and welcome you to our world Mr.… “Onsi…Le’son onsi PrincessCelestia” I held out my hand and she gladly shook it “I’m glad we could get that out of the way but I regret to tell you may have fell from one disaster.” ‘You don’t know the half’ I thought “Into another as we’ve been having problems with the dragons of volcano valley.” She said “Wait dragons? What’s happened?” I asked “They’ve been increasingly aggressive, attacking villages and destroying crops. And worst of all they are claiming to be conquering equestria.” “I do not know if dragons of this world are anything like mine but how do they normally act?” “You have dragons in your world?” “Yes, but the dragons of my world were brought back from extinction by the demigod dragon alduin” Celestia froze for a second with a expression that was bordering on pure fear. I recognized this look as it was the same look jarl balgruf was wearing when I told him of aduin. “That name has been muttered among the dragons when they attack, they scream his name when they attack the towns. Rumors of a dragon black as night that soars through the skies faster than any dragon” Now it was my turn to freeze in shock. I thought Alduin had gone back to the land of gods to be punished by akotosh but that had been a hope if anything. Alduin has found a new dimention, one full of dragons of unknown strength. ‘well time to go back to work’ I thought as I recovered from my shock “Have no fear princess Celestia, for have found your solution I said proudly “What do you mean?” She asked “Le’son says that he is a hero from his realm called a dragonborn” Like most who didn’t understand the term Celestia looked confused “Are you saying you are the son of a dragon?” She asked “Urg no! why does everyone asked that!?, I’m sorry for the outburst but no. a dragonborn is a being of nirn who is blessed with a soul of a dragon and can use his or her voice use their shouts.” Now everyone looked confused. ‘Well it’s time for the long version’ I thought. “Do your dragons have their own language here?” “No they speak common just like us.” said Celestia “In my world their language contain words of power, words if stringed together, can construct a powerful effect.” I looked to spike. Hopefully with dragon attacks these ponies have become accustomed to deadly force. Being a dragon himself, the little one was taking all this talk about his kind with ease. “Spike would you like to learn a word of power?” “Oh can I twi?” “What are you planning to do?” “I’m going to teach him to blow fire using a word of power.” “Can you that?” I nodded “That sounds really dangerous and spike could get hurt.” Fluttershy said from behind the couch…again. She must have jumped back there when celestia showed up. “Come on dude, he already knows how to blow fire and how can you just speak and blow fire?” Rainbow said with condescending doubt. She almost sounds like those haughty high elf women from summerset isles. So damn proud until someone shows them up. “So can I Twi huh please?” Spike said with excitement in his voice. “Alright, but how will this work?” “Simple I project the word onto the ground, he reads it, and I shall transfer my knowledge of the shout to him.” I stared at the floor in front of Spike and take deep breath. After aduin’s defeat I spent about 2 years training with the grey beards, honing my abilities with the shouts. By the second year I was able to call odavieg and duriener with enough power to make them react quickly. I was also able to channel storm call and point out my targets, raining lightning were ever I wanted to. Along the way the greybeards also taught me ways of teaching the voice to others.or at least I figured that one out on my own, they couldn’t teach me everything. “YOL.” I said projecting the dragon scratch on the floor. “What is that chicken scratch?” Asked applejack. “Its dragonscratch to be procise now watch. Spike that is YOL, fire, read this word and keep the writing in your mind.” Spike stared at the dragonscratch not taking his eyes of it. “Now Spike listen carefully, take a deep breath and don’t let it out until I say so” He did as I asked and I then transferred some of my understanding of the word. He glowed with red light. “Now breath and I want you to yell this word at me shout it!” He let out his breath and took a stance. He took another deep breath and shouted… “YOL!” A ball of flame came towards me and quickly dissipated . it was a really good try but then again I did have a ring that could absorb any magic that came at me. I was unfazed but spike was beaming. “Oh my gosh spike that was great!” Twilight yelled and pulled spike in for a bearhug. “I’ve never seen anything like that, can you teach anyone this?” “Yes but it would take you at least a year or two to just do YOL and it would be weak.” “You don’t know me or my protégé very well.” Celestia said with pride. “Trust me I’m the best mage of my realm and met others of my caliber, this is not simple magic but a powerful language.” I explained “Well then I’d just have to learn it inside in out.” twilight challenged “I will try to teach you but we still have the”-*CRASH* There was a very loud crash coming from outside. I looked outside a nearby window to see a skinny but very tall black and blue dragon.its eyes glowed black but beamed with intelligence. It was throwing what seemed to be carts full of good at anything that moved. It was my time to show off. I insta-changed into my black, sleeveless chainmail, silver pants, and boots. “Maybe its time I show you what I can do?” I said with confidence “Let this be your trail Mr.Onsi, if you can chase off this dragon…"she looked to Fluttershy who was giving Celestia the most pleading look. “…WITHOUT killing it, you shall be given citizenship and amnesty of whatever crimes you may have committed. Now go and prove yourself.” "Gladly" I said before spotting the door and running off to face my first equestrian dragon And Its GOOD!Take out a rampaging dragon that so far has destroyed 2 buildings, 10 carts and injured 4 ponies...without killing it? 'Nothing but sweet roll' I thought as I ran into the fray. In the 3 seconds I had my eyes off of it, the dragon had set its sights on a building, seemingly made out of sweets. 'Please let there be no one in there' I thought in vain as I saw 4 ponies run out the building but stopped dead in their tracks when they saw the dragon. A yellow stallion, a blue mare and 2 little ones, I couldn’t see their colors because they were cowering behind their parents. It was a family and no family gets separated on my watch. The dragon from I could see was 5 meters away from them, preparing fire breath. "Honey take the little ones and run as fast as you can!" yelled the yellow one to who I could assume was his wife. The dragon unleashed his breath and ALMOST hit the family. "WULD!" I shouted just in time to get in front of the family. The breath hit me and my enchanted equipment absorbed it. "Heroics are my job, now run!" I yelled. The parents looked relieved, another family saved. "Thank you mister monster!" one of the little ones said before it and its parents ran off to the safety of a pink bubble shield that had formed around the library. Celestia's horn was glowing and the other mares I met were ushering citizens in. When the family I saved got in, Pinkie Pie pulled the whole family in for a hug. The dragon on the other hand looked angry and confused. He quickly recovered his confusion and was about to breath fire on me again. It wouldn't have any effect on me obviously but I had to keep it busy. When the breath came I barrel rolled to the side and dodged it. "Why won’t you fry!?" the dragon yelled. He sounded like one of those teenage punks that wanted to join the Dawnguard, thinking they could just kill vampires and be heroes. Just like those teenagers, this one was about realize he got more than he bargain for. "You’re gonna regret defending these ponies! When our new boss gives us new powers to destroy these stupid ponies, we’ll get what’s ours!" he yelled. As I said, a punk that thinks he's tough and has no idea of what’s to come. 'It’s time to teach this egg what a real dragon is'. I thought, in fights I don’t usually talk but this punk at least needed a warning before getting the ass kicking of his life. "You’re going to regret coming here!" I yelled. He started laughing as if I told a joke. "TIID KLO UL" I shouted and everything slowed down to a crawl. I started to notice the damage he caused, several buildings were on fire, a group of ponies were scrambling to the shield and a dozen of them look like children. The fact that their fear was my opponent's fault was going to intensify his beating. I brought my fists up and proceeded to WORK. HIM. OUT. I honestly blacked out of rage but by the time I came to, time had gone to normal, and the dragon had a very bloody snout. "What...are...you?" he asked in a daze. I responded by grabbing one of his head spikes. This must have been a weak point because he went limp as soon as I had him my grip. "First you’re gonna tell me what your "boss" is planning and quickly." I ordered. "I don’t know anything man, they just sent me here to mess with the ponies." he replied. "Who do you report to then?" "Swift, Alduin’s lieutenant." "You’re very forth coming with this info, even the woodland animals don’t give up this easily." "HA, I don’t think this stuff worth it, besides I’m gonna die anyway." he said with confidence. "Actually you’re gonna live to tell the tale, and remember this name when you tell of how you failed." I said while raising him to me face to face. "Who’s name?" "...Dovahkin, FUS RO DAH!" With the warning given and the shout said, he was launched into the air and into the horizon. "That takes care of that." I said looking in the air. 'The dragon is gone but by the looks of this town there's a lot to do.' I thought. "FO KRAH DIIN" I shouted towards the fires. After my Greybeard training, frost breath had the reach of a FARM. All of the fires went out quickly and frosted over. ‘Another problem solved by shouting.' While walking to the bubble shield, I noticed all the ponies, including Celestia, were wearing a look of pure shock. Then out of nowhere they started cheering, jumping for joy. "Come on ponies, don’t you got a town to rebuild." they all knocked off the cheering and then quickly started to run to get to work on the town. "That was the most amazing thing I have ever seen." said twilight. "Dude that was awesome.” Yelled rainbow and spike. "You were so dashing, bravo Mr. Onsi." Rarity congratulated. "Thank you for not hurting him.” Said Fluttershy. Pinkie came out of nowhere and hugged me so hard that I couldn’t breath. "Thank you so much for saving them" she cried into my ear. When she let go she was in tears. "I think you just earned your place Mr. Onsi. I hereby give you amnesty of all previous crimes and give you official citizenship.” Celestia said. “I can also offer you a job if you are interested.” She added. "Is it to defeat Alduin?" I asked. "Yes that would be your top priority, but my subjects will need to protect themselves, I would also have you train who you can to fight and defend as you do." I thought on that for a moment. The ponies here were COMPLETLY unprepared. If they were to have any chance of surviving they would need my help. 'Well it’s time to teach again' I thought. “I’ll do it, I’ll set up here, send the word that if ponies want defend their land, they will come to..." "Ponyville." Celestia said. "Oookay, Ponyville and I shall teach them what I can." "Excellent, you can start with the elements of harmony." "Who are these ‘elements of harmony’?” I asked. “The mares are right behind me." said Celestia. Five of the mares stood proudly while Fluttershy tried to hide behind Rainbow Dash. 'This is going to be a loooooong training session' I thought looking towards them. (A/N: A big thanks to my new official editor, mild hotsauce. Thanks man, this thing would have been un-readable slag on the internet without you.) Twilight makes a friend and Spike earns a brakeAfter Celestia left it was decided that we wouldn’t start training until I could get settled in and things had calmed down. Fluttershy said she had to attend to her "animal friends" and Pinkie Pie said she needed to help her friends the "Cake" family, what little damage done to their bakery. Applejack ran off with a cream colored filly to check on her family. Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Rarity, and Spike brought me back to the library to talk more on my world. When we got there, they took their seats on the couch while I sat on the floor. "Dude what were those shouts you used? That FRO one froze half the town!” yelled Spike. Ever since I the taught him fire breath his looks to me were less worried and more to amazement. "That my friend was frost breath, as I said there is more to being a dovah then just fire. You will learn that as we work together spike." I said. Spike was practically bouncing on the couch. His training was going to be easy. He was eager, had the affinity to learn and most importantly, he was a dragon. "Are you sure can’t teach those words to other ponies? That WUD shout made you go bucking FAST! Well, not as fast as me." said Rainbow. "It was WULD, and I doubt that Dash, that was only one word, the whole phrase could make me go faster than a team of pegasi." "Oh we'll see about that." Twilight levitated a quill and parchment. 'Well here it comes' I thought. "So how does that work? Can whole language produce effects like that?” she asked eagerly. "No it’s just that certain words hold power. Such as the words I’ll be teaching spike, YOL, fire, TOOR, inferno, and SHUL sun. These combine form fire breath." I explained. As I explained she was jotting down notes. "So can anyone use these shouts?" "As I told you, technically anyone can learn to shout draconic, but there’s more to it. Month long meditations, focusing all your being into making the word real. Even though being dragonborn makes me enough like a dragon to learn fluidly, it took me 2 years to master the shouts I know." "Oh well... what about magic? You told me everyone in your world can do magic. Here you have to have a horn to channel magic." "Ah I thought on this as well, in my world it’s a matter of knowing your choices anyone can do magic, but most take the brutish route because that’s all they know. Here you are all exposed to magic and how to works, and I think I can get you all to use it." "Yeah right man, I haven’t even seen you do magic yet." said rainbow To prove her wrong I spotted a flower pot on the other side of the room, I reached for it and levitated it into my hand in a heartbeat. Rainbow Dash stared at me with aw. “whoa. " she said "What other spells do you know?" twilight asked with a new quill and parchment ready "I know all kinds of spell healing, conjuration, destruction, defensive, illusion...” I went on about my spells naming them all from summoning a fire ball to conjuring an atronach.” The last one was what caught Twilight's attention. "Wait you say there’s a spell to summon a little helper?" She asked. "Of course, but it takes a lot of focus to maintain the spell, would you like me to show you how to make a storm atronach Twilight?” "Why that would be lovely, I’ve been looking to give Spike some time off." We both got up and I took out a pile of void salts and 3 diamonds from out of my pocket, and placed them on the floor. "What are those stones and-oh my are those diamonds?" asked Rarity She moved closer to the pile of stones to get a better look, she somehow materializing a magnifying glass from out of nowhere. She looked back at me surprised. "Those are perfect cut diamonds, much better than I could manage, how did you get your hoofs on these?" "I found plenty of gems and treasures during my days as a career thief." "Being a thief in your world is considered a profession?" asked Twilight. "Yes but most are just thugs looking to make coin, I on the other hand stole from pompous nobles and gave to the poor. But most of my fortune comes from the blessing of Barenziah." "Another god?" “No but more of a mix of luck and a spirit of a queen's favor, the one who could find and rebuild her crown would be blessed with finding gems for the rest of their life." I explained. “What is this world's currency anyway?" "Bits, gold coins, why?” asked Twilight "Because my world goes off of gold too and was wondering what to do with....about 500,000 gold coins." Everybody’s jaw dropped...literally. Either the mention of gold has that effect in this world or things were going to get stranger from here. "Well...let’s get back to the atcronarch, and then we can discuss my coin purse.” I said. Everyone recovered from their shock and focused on me. I placed my hands flat in the air and put them one over the other. Energy flowed through my hands enveloping the pile of stones below. The diamonds started to float and become one while the void salts began to hover under the diamonds in a pile. Then slowly, the salts began to envelop the diamond clump. "You need to take the spell from here Twilight, the stone will become whatever you want, just vision it." Twilight’s face scrunched up in concentration, there was a flash, and in the place of the stone was a filly sized unicorn, with black eyes. It was brilliant silver, but it was covered in what looked like sand. "I made that? What can it do? Is it sentient? Can I make it sentient?" Twilight asked almost lightning quick. "Yes, whatever you want it to do, no, and NO, it’s impossible to give something life without a soul to power it and for that you would need a soul gem, and a pony's soul.” I deadpanned. Twilight shuddered. If all ponies were going to be this squeamish then teaching them magic is going to be even more difficult. Tamrielic magic has never been pretty, and the dragon situation isn't going to get any better. "Other than that you can make it attack, defend, or give it other tasks." I said "Wait you mean you can like make order shelves and other stuff like that.” asked Spike "I guess." I replied confused. "Aw yeah I’m totally getting a day off! Thank you Crystal!" yelled spike Everypony in the room stared at spike. "What i named it Crystal." "I hope you are not this squeamish when classes begin Twilight, all of you need to be willing to do what it takes to defeat Alduin." "Oh don’t worry about us, we'll do what we need to do to, its Rarity and Fluttershy you need to-" Rainbow Dash was cut off by an angry Fluttershy entering the room. Her mane was a wreck, her eyes looked puffy from crying but her expression was pure rage. "THAT BASTARD KILLED HIM" she yelled. "Who-" twilight was cut off by Fluttershy running up to her face. "ANGEL, THAT PILE OF SCALES THAT LE'SON PUNTED, he burned half my house and KILLED ANGEL!” she yelled. "He must have come from the forest when he came into town. Fluttershy, lets calm down and-" "BUCK THAT!" She looked straight at me and first time since my parent’s death, I was truly afraid. I sensed the stare she gave me was only a fraction of its true power; from that point on I would have to be weary of making that certain pony angry. "You said that you killed dragons before right?” she said to me. “Yes?" "Have you ever tracked one down?" "Yes, why?" "Because you and I are gonna track him down, torture him and kill him...slowly." “No." At this point she got in my face and stared me down.as much as I did not like dragons (and was terrorfied of her at the moment) I NEVER pick a fight...if I can help it. "It’s never wise to pick a fight, and I’m not going to help you murder someone. Use this to steel your resolve for the fights ahead." Fluttershy had calmed down, but still looked crestfallen. I know how she felt, I was here because of revenge, but I wouldn’t help anyone take theirs. "Fine! but the next dragon that comes to town is mine, and he's going to love me. Oh I promise you all...he's going to LOVE me." Right before she left, she gave us the most murderous smile and an even more wicked laugh as she left out the door. "Well...that was BUCKING SCARY." proclaimed Twilight. I'M RICH BI***(And I make it rain)I'M RICH BI***(And I make it rain) After Fluttershy left, I decided to look out the window to check progress on the town. All the debris from the dragon had been cleaned up quickly. The buildings were another story though; the ones that were hit weren't completely destroyed, but thoroughly damaged. "so Le'son, what kind of words of power are there, I know there’s fire breath, but you said there were others, like what?” asked Spike. "Well little dova, there’s shouts to Slowing Time, Summoning, Unrelenting Force, controlling the weather-" I was interrupted by a surprised Rainbow Dash. "NO WAY you can control the weather!" she yelled. "You doubt my skill?" I challenged. "Oh yeah, let’s take this outside, hey twilight you coming?" Rainbow Dash yelled to Twilight, who was in the middle of showing "Crystal" the atronach, how to organize the library to her liking. "Sorry guys, Crystal's going to need some training, Spike you want to go?” She asked. "You know it! This is gonna be-" Spike was interrupted by a mountain of quills and parchments dropping into his hands. "GREAT! I need you to take notes on the whole thing. How the environment reacted, what words did he use, I want a WHOLE report on this Spike." Twilight said without taking her eyes off Crystal, who was re-organizing the bookshelf I knocked down. "Fiiiiine. Ok let’s go guys!" Rainbow Dash, Spike (who was carrying less paper now), and I walked outside. The sun was still high in the sky and there wasn’t a cloud in sight. Ponyville's citizens were still hard at work repairing the town, not noticing their savior. Well except 1, a mare with a light-brown coat, a grey mane, and glasses came running and stopped to a screeching halt right in front of me. She looked relieved, scared, and flustered all at the same time. "Hello*huff* creature*huff*, I’m the mayor and I would like to thank you for saving our town and would like to be the first to say welcome to Ponyville!" she yelled. 'Well she’s not going to like me in a few minutes.' I thought. "Thank you Miss Mayor, please call me Onsi, how go the repairs?" I asked. She looked to the damaged buildings with a pained expression on her face. It was same one I saw on the jarls when they got news their holds were attacked. "Not well, Ponyville is no stranger to chaos as we normally have to deal Pinkie Pie's more destructive parties. We normally have repairs done within hours, but we hit a snag. The town's treasury has been depleted and we won’t be able to fix anything as quickly.” "What’s the estimate?" "About 2000 bits. Wait... no, 3000 bits including Fluttershy's house." "Hmmm....is this enough?" I asked as I took out an orange sack filled with gold and held it eye level to her. The mayor took a look in the sack and looked at with awe. "What...how...WAT? This is MORE than enough." the mayor said, a surprised look plastered on her face. "If need be I can even give you some valuable metals and ores to sell, they're not from here and are guaranteed to fetch a nice price for the treasury." That was too much for the mayor to handle and she fainted. "Well...at least you don’t have to worry about repairs. Now you said you doubt my powers Rainbow Dash?" I asked rainbow, who was hovering near my head. "Yeah I do, nopony but a Pegasus can mess with the weather and I don’t think a few WORDS can do that.” she said. "But I bet your gonna prove her wrong anyway, come on let’s see dude!” yelled Spike. "Ok, everyone stand back." I ordered. They did just that backing away about 5 meters away. "Alright...STRUN BAH QO" I shouted. The sky darkened, clouds appeared out of nowhere, and rain started pouring down like no tomorrow. All the ponies that were working stopped and looked at the once clear sky. Pegasi that were in the sky, stopped and hovered to look at the spectacle too, completely scared. "HOLY CELESTIA!" Spike and Rainbow yelled simultaneously as they ran/flew over to me completely amazed. "Wanna see something even more amazing?” I asked. As said before I trained myself to master all the shouts and their uses, with STORM CALL, all I have to do is concentrate to mark a target with my fingers to bring down a bolt of lightning. And I did just that, using my index and middle fingers I pointed to the ground 10 meters from us to call down lightning. The spot was far away enough not to hurt anyone, but a close enough to know it was me.*KA-BOOM*. A powerful bolt of lightning came down on the spot for only a second and left nothing behind but a burned mark on the cobble stone. The mayor woke up from the boom Spike and Rainbow were speechless. The mayor on the other hand was terrified. "By Celestia, did you do you do this?" she asked looking up to the sky. I nodded. "Amazing. Well...can you undo it? We still have work to do you know." "Right...hold on" I said as I focused all my energy into stopping the storm. ‘Wait... fuck this I have CLEAR SKIES' I thought. "LOK VAH KOOR!" I shouted into the skies and every cloud was gone. Everypony gawked at me amazed and terrified. "Again don’t you ponies have a town to fix?!" I yelled. The mayor snapped out of her bewilderment and turned to the working ponies. "He's right everypony, new supplies will be coming in soon, so keep at it and our town will be back to normal in no-time!" she yelled. Everybody went back to work still scared out of their wits. "Dude... that was....AWESOME! ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Well...not as awesome me." said Rainbow Dash who was now hovering near my head. "Oh so you can make rain and lightning by shouting?" I said. "Please tell me I’m gonna learn how to do that!" Spike pleaded. "No, what you saw was the shout COMPLETELY focused. Without the training I have, every living thing within 5miles would be in danger of being struck by lightning." I replied. Spike looked crestfallen. "But aside from true fire breath, you'll learn frost breath and unrelenting force. With these powers my friend, you’ll be force to be reckoned with in the field, but in time, once I meet everyone and settle on where I’ll be staying, we'll get started on shout training." this seemed to perk spike up and he looked at the quill and parchment in his hands. "OH CRAP THE NOTES!" "Screw the notes, we have more important things to do, like eating." said Rainbow Dash. "Come on lets go to sugarcube corner." With my storm cleared, I changed back into my robes and we started walking to the (slightly burned) gingerbread house that Rainbow Dash called Sugarcube Corner. Tears and Lesson plansMe, Rainbow, and Spike, started walking to the once great bakery, which was now covered in soot. As we were walking, pink blur came out of thin air and tackle me to the ground. "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR SAVING THEM!" Pinkie Pie said in one breath as she proceeded to hug the life out of me. "No problem, but can you please get off of me now?" I asked running out of air. She obeyed and when we were both on our feet, I was able to get a good look at her. Her mane was still as poufy as ever but her eyes were red and swollen from crying. "I'm guessing those ponies I saved were your family?” I asked. "Yeah, they practically raised me, I was so worried that they might get hurt and...." she looked down at the ground, most likely to avoid crying. "It’s ok pinkie, we were scared too, well all except me." Rainbow chimed in. "I know Dashie.*sniff* the Cakes are safe and I’m very grateful. The real reason I'm here is to give Le'son his welcome to Ponyville!” she said, starting to perk up. "But the mayor already welcomed me in." I protested. Pinkie shook her head. "She didn’t give you the welcome wagon!" Pinkie then put her hoof to her mouth and whistled. A cart pulled up next to pinkie in a speed faster than whirlwind sprint. Pinkie pressed a big red button on the wagon and she started to sing . After she SOMEHOW blew a horn through my head I couldn’t take it anymore. "OK I GET IT!" I interrupted. She fell mid-air and landed on her bottom. Her hair went flat and she looked like she was on the verge of crying again. "Y-you don’t like it?" she asked me almost on the verge of tears. "No no no pinkie it’s just that *groooowl*" my stomach interrupted. "Ooooh you got case of the rumblies! Its ok then, I’m sure the Cakes will want to thank you anyway, come on." Pinkie said, full of spirit .We stepped into the bakery, Pinkie Pie leading the way. A dark pink mound of hair was all I could see behind the counter. "I heard the bell, Pinkie is that you?" the pink hair mound asked. "Yeah it’s me Mrs. C, brought somepony you may want to meet" said Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie, a dragon just attacked, and we almost died! Plus the store is a mess, this somepony better be...."she stopped when she brought her head from behind the counter. Like most people when they meet the person who saved their life, she stood frozen with a shocked look on her face. "Um Mrs. Cake? Helloooo?" Pinkie asked. Mrs. Cake shook her head, and started crying loudly, leaning over the counter. "Thank you so much, thank you for saving my children!" she cried into the counter. "It was no problem, just please. Stop. Crying." I demanded . She lifted her head from the counter, wiping her face. "Cuppy? Are you alright?" a voice asked from the back of the bakery. A yellow stallion ran into the room bumping into the door frame, his head completely covered in flour. "Are you ok honey-bon?" he asked trying to wipe the flour off his eyes. "Carrot Conga Cake, what did you do to yourself?" Mrs. Cake asked her temporarily blind husband. "I heard you crying again, I had to, heh, see what the fuss was about." he replied as he finally got enough of the flour out of his eyes to see, 3 ponies, a dragon, and (of course) a confused redgaurd. When he saw me, like his wife, he started to tear-up. He didn’t get as far as Mrs. Cake but it was obvious that he was going to. "Before you shower me with thank yous, how about we get some food, I meet your children and we'll call it even, alright?" I asked. Both of the cakes seem to perk up and looked at each other. "I'll get the snacks?" asked Mrs. Cake. "I’ll get the little ones?" Asked Mr. Cake. They both nodded at the same time. Mr. Cake went off into the back to get the kids while Mrs. Cake took our orders. "Are you ok Mrs. Cake?" Asked Rainbow. "I'm fine Rainbow Dash, it’s just that we were so scared, for us and our foals and...*sniff* but none of that. Now we're safe and we owe this stallion some darn good cupcakes." She wiped what was left of her tears and froze in shock.....again. "What is it?" I asked. "It’s just that we've been fawning over you and we don’t even know your name.” She said. "That’s my fault I guess, my name is Le'son Onsi, Mrs. Cake." "Well Mr. Onsi you and your friends are going to get the best cupcakes we can make." "Oh oh oh! Mrs. Cake can you put some rubies in mine please?" Asked Spike. "I would spike but we been out of gems for a while, I’m sorry." She replied. I raised my eyebrows in confusion. 'Looks like the dragons here eat jewels, either that or I’m about to waste a bunch of perfectly good gems.' I thought while taking out a pouch of rubies. "These should suffice, I think." I said placing the pouch on the counter, some of them slipping out. Both Spike and Mrs. Cake stared at the pouch. Spike in hunger and Mrs. Cake in Amazement. "Dude you are the best!" Yelled Spike. "Where did you get these?" Asked Mrs. Cake in amazement. "I don’t know if you can tell by looking by looking at him, but this dude is LOADED." Said Rainbow. "Oh my, well.... I guess I'll throw these into the mix." She took the bag gingerly with her mouth and trotted off into the back. "Ooh, I better go help her, don’t worry guys we'll be back in a jiffy." Said Pinkie as she bounced into the back. Rainbow Dash, Spike and I sat down at a circular table, allowing us to look at each other. "While they're cooking, I want to know how the hay you plan on training us. You said that those shouts take years to learn, so how are we gonna fight these dragons?" Asked Rainbow. "Simple I'm going to teach you all magic." I said with confidence. Rainbow and Spike gave me a blank stare that was starting to creep me out until she started talking again. "Dude didn’t you hear me before? Only unicorns can do magic." "Rainbow look around you. Your world is shrouded in magic; to harness it only takes concentration. With my training you ponies will be more than prepared." "I just don’t get it man, you talk like everyone in your world does magic." said Spike. "They do spike, or at least they can, but as I said most don’t because they don’t want to learn how to, but some work magic without knowing it. Like enchanting, most bandits can do it easily, but don’t know it’s magic, that something else we'll cover. "Dude you sound Mrs. Cherilee. She’s a teacher and you sound exactly like her." said Rainbow. "If she's a teacher then that’s probably because I WAS a teacher. I was arch-mage or chief professor, of the Mages College." “That must so cool Le’son."Spike assumed. "Alright class, we'll be learning how to throw lighting today, turn your spell books to page 10. HAH HAH HAH!" Rainbow mocked,deepening her voice to sound like mine. "I wouldn’t sum it up like that; the college was place mostly to test your ideas without criticism." "Wait ponies in your world don’t like magic?” Asked Rainbow. "Oh people LOVE us when we're enchanting their equipment, but when it comes to being in society everyone thinks we're necromancers." "What’s a necromancer?” Asked Spike. "a necromancer is someone who enthralls the dead to do their bidding." I explained. Both Rainbow and Spike just stared at me in shock.' I think this is the 3rd time they've done this' I thought. "You mean...they TURNED ponies into zombies?" Spike asked with his teeth chattering. "That’s just sick dude." said Rainbow. "Yes it’s a disgusting thing to see. You'll learn more about it when we go into conjuration, but back to the harnessing of magic, it will be difficult but what’s important is that you trust me. ah here’s our snacks." They both turned around to see pinkie pie walking over with a tray of sweets in her mouth. She placed it on out table and I could see the platter of sweets she gave us. On the tray were 6 cupcakes and 5 sweet rolls. 3 cupcakes were chocolate with rubies and frosting. While the other cupcakes where cyan blue. Dash and spike looked ready to pounce on the tray, their mouths literally watering. The snacks looked plenty appetizing to me, it’s just that I normally eat soups and meats, but that was going to be an adjustment. 'That’s right they eat nothing but Plants! Well there goes the thought of using that horse meat stew.' I thought laughing. "I hope you guys like em, and that extra sweet roll is just for you Onsi." said Pinkie Pie with a smile on her face. As Dash and Spike began to DESTROY their respective cupcakes, Mr. and Mrs. Cake came in with the twin foals. One had a crème colored coat and a brown, windblown mane. While his sister had a yellow coat and an orange mane that was tied in pigtails. Both of them stared at me surprised. "Mr. Onsi, these here is my twin angels, Pumpkin and Pound. Foals this is Mr. Onsi" "Oh my gosh! It’s the monster that beat up the dragon!" Pumpkin yelled. She sounded so much like Sophie from Windhelm. "Yeah that was so awesome the way you just decked him the snozz! You are so cool Mr. Onsi." said Pound who sounded like Blaise. "Think nothing of it children, I was doing my job." I said getting up and walking over to the children and parents. "My real reward is seeing another family safe, and here is a present for you both." I said as I took out 2 gold necklaces, one emerald, one ruby and put them on Pumpkin and Pound's neck. "These necklaces are enchanted to take most damage, but do not get careless, you can still get hurt." I said with authority. "Oh my, well what do you say kids?" asked Mr. Cake. "THANK YOU MR. ONSI" the little Cakes said again. "Think nothing of it. Children in these times of danger need a little something extra." I replied. "You've done so much for us Mr. Onsi, do you have a place to sleep tonight?" asked Mrs. Cake. "No actually I haven’t thought about it." I honestly hadn’t given it much thought at the time. "Well you’re always welcome here until you can get on your hooves Onsi." Mr. Cake. "Oh my gosh! It would be like a sleepover! We could plan parties, play with the baby Cakes, and and...."Pinkie went on. "I might take you up on that offer, but right now I need to figure out my clothing situation." I said and the parents nodded in agreement. "Alright I’m fed, let’s get you to rarity, I gotta get back to weather patrol and tell them about where that storm came from." said Rainbow. With that we walked out of the bakery, leaving pinkie to help the cakes with orders. Next stop the boutique. The cloth storm (Filler at its best)After we left the bakery, we stood in front of the candy-coated building to observe the surprising progress on the town. Frame-work was already on some buildings, and others were completely repaired. I was dumbfounded. Rainbow saw my surprise and smiled. “Mayor Mare told you that we build fast.” “I know what she said but I’ve never seen anyone, or anypony as the case may be, build that fast.” I said. SERIOUSLY! Last time I was at Whiterun they were still repairing walls and houses. And the war ended 3 YEARS AGO! “Alright come on, Rarity’s boutique is over there.” Rainbow pointed to a tall white building that had been scorched over the doorway. “You’re not coming?” Spike questioned. “Of course not! We just got a HUGE unscheduled rain storm. The weather team has to be freaking out.” Spike stared at her skeptically, crossing his arms. “You just wanna tell the story don’t you?” “Ah, Spike, you know me so well. Well, see you guys later.” She took off so fast that the wind she created pulled on my robes. “Well then, I see that she wasn’t lying about being fast. Let’s go Spike." We gladly started walking. As we were walking, I noticed just how well the towns people, or well ponies, were getting over the dragon attack. Most were just carrying on with their day. Others were picking up and repairing their wrecked carts and stands with smiles on their faces. “Near destruction must be regular in this world.” “Well not completely regular, it’s just that after dealing with Pinkie for so many years, the ponies here just get used to strange stuff. What REALLY got everypony scared was Discord.” “What is this “discord”?” I said with air quotes. “Discord is a draconis that is capable of doing anything. And I mean ANYTHING. From making it rain chocolate milk to making the time of day change spontaneously. Seriously, he made Pinkie seem normal.” He said with a worried look. “Sounds like another party animal I know. Is he still around?” “No, Twilight and the girls beat him using the elements of harmony and turned him to stone.” “Well I’m gonna have to see these weapons myself. Anything that can take out a madgod must be powerful.” “When we get back to the library, I’ll have twilight look ‘em up for you, but I need to ask you something.” “Go for it.” “When…when you said you killed dragons…how many?” I dreaded this conversation. I hate to talk about the killing of any creature. It always brings me guilt. As a leader and a teacher, guilt was something I couldn’t afford to show. “I take no pleasure in saying this Spike but I’ve honestly lost count. In my world dragons attacked relentlessly and someone had to stop them from hurting innocent people, I couldn't hesitate.” Spike’s worried expression never changed. “And when you say you earned their respect…what does that mean?” “You see, the dragons of my world are very prideful. Although they are merciless, it is their nature. But when someone can beat them…they must honor that person’s strength. That is what it means to have a dragon’s respect.” “Well I guess that’s cool. Here we are.” We approached the scorched door. "I wonder how Rarity is taking the damage." Spike kicked at the ground. We walked in and saw pure chaos. Cloth and various gems were swirling around the room, covered in a blue aura. In the middle of the mess was Rarity. Her horn was glowing in the same aura as the items. "NO NO NO! This is all WRONG." She levitated more cloth and gems to a pony-shaped manikin. They began to arrange themselves into what I could guess was pony-fashion... if you can call an emerald covered mess fashion. 'This woman uses WAY too many gems' "Excuse me, miss Rarity, do you need help?" The cloth storm stopped and everything fell on the floor. Rarity turned around to be both surprised and embarrassed. "Sorry for barging in miss Rarity, just wanted to see if you were busy." Rarity calmed herself, wiping a bead of sweat off her forehead. "Heh, think nothing of it dear. I am just a bit stressed." "What’s going on?" Spike asked Rarity while she was picking up gems off the floor with her magic and placing them into a chest. "An order for Canterlot is supposed to go out tomorrow! But with Onsi's arrival and the dragon attack, I couldn't finish the designs because of...DESIGNERS BLOCK!!” She feinted on a couch that literally came out of nowhere. I couldn't keep my eyes off the gems still scattered on the ground. The various gems on the ground were calling to the thief in me. I held it back and brought my attention back to Rarity. "I'm sorry, Ms. Rarity, maybe these could give you some inspiration?" I reached into my robes, pulling out a set of Dunmer mage robes and showing them to her.The robes were long and red, embroidered with yellow cloth at the edges. Rarity jumped off the couch and ran to the robes, eyeing them like a general would to a battle map. "Oh my, Mr. Onsi, these robes are absolutely fabulous! Where did you get them?" "Don’t worry about that little detail. You can use these for your designs and hurry up on those orders. I'm going to need you to fill a BIG order soon and trust me, it will require your attention." Rarity looked at me with uncertainty but then smiled. "Well darling with these robe designs I'll be done by tonight. But I would like to know what could possibly need all of my attention." "One word my dear...ENCHANTMENT!" I yelled with excitement. Rarity jumped back surprised but settled down and looked me curiously. "You mean you’re going to enchant clothes?" "And armor. We're going to need armor for you girls and whoever else wants to fight. Rarity, we’re going to need a blacksmith." Her face turned into a deep frown. "You mean working with dirt and fire and, egad, metal? Absolutely not, Mr. Onsi!" She turned her head. "Alright then. You can be in charge of the enchantments, I'll see if Applejack wants the job.” She settled and took the robes away from me using her magic. "Then it’s settled. I'll get started on the robes for Canterlot and we'll talk about this order later." With that said, she walked into a back room holding the robes, and A LOT of cloth and gems. "Well that didn't go as planned" Spike sighed. "Hardly anything does for me. Can you take me to Applejack?" "Alright! Next stop, Sweet Apple Acres!" We walked out of the boutique and began heading to the place called Sweet Apple Acres. Old friends(AKA enemies)Our story begins as we see a man walking across a large cobblestone bridge over a waterfall on the side of a mountain. As we get a closer look of the man we see he has brown skin and is wearing armor. The armor is black chainmail, he’s also wearing white, (almost silver),cotton trousers, and steel boots. The most distinguishing part of his armor set was his black turbin. It was from this headwear, that we could tell he was a redguard. How can I tell he was a redguard? That’s because that man is me. Let me introduce myself, I am Le’son Onsi, traveling skald, dragonborn, arch-mage of winterhold and ender of the skyrim civil war. Le’son is strange name for a redguard isn’t it? Mother was a breton and father was a redguard. Mother INSISTED I have a Breton name. Why I speak of them in the past tense is a story for another day, as this day I was wandering around the reach countryside strumming my lute, making sure it was tuned properly. I've always loved music and I always loved the lute, it was the first instrument I played and this one held a special place in my heart. As i was walking thought i heard a rumbling but it quickly stoped and ignored it. It was then I saw a lightning bolt go past my head. I turned around completely calm, to see a-BY THE SANDS AN ARMY of Thalmor warriors. From first glance I could see about 20 men. The man who shot the bolt was the only one of the soldiers in Thalmor robes, obviously the commander.The high elf had a long black beard and even longer hair coming from under his hood. “We meet again boy” Said the man. ‘I remember that voice’ I thought. That man was the reason I had to leave Hammerfell. He is the reason I carry this elven sword. Logain Aegis was the reason that I would have no qualms killing today…or just him at least. I don’t normally kill but always keep the sword to maim those who came close and couldn’t hit with magic. “YOU” I said with great disdain. “Yes me boy, it seems you caused quite a stir in the dominion, so much that they had to call me. Well I hope you've prayed to your false-god dragon-FARCE, because your going to see him today”! After he was done with his mediocre speech, he raised and waved his arm forward and 10 of his men came at me with lightning and elven swords in hand. They realized their mistake quickly as i used my favorite shout, “OD AH VING!” I said and my dragon friend Odahving responded by diving into my attackers and flying back into the air with 3 of them with him. The 7 that remained were completely stunned and staring at Odahving coming in for another dive. I used that chance to shoot balls of paralyzing magic at the attackers. As they fell to the ground I had a wide smile on my face. Logain’s face however had gone from smug to worry. He ran to the back of his small army, opened his hands and generated a bubble field around him. ‘Damn! Well he’ll come last then’ I thought as the last 9 of his men started shooting lightning bolts at me. Of course with no progress as the bolts only hit my armor to dissipate, as I had long ago enchanted my armor to COMPLETELY brush off magic. Logain's jaw was agape when he realized what had happened. “My turn” I said as I reached into my pocket and pulled out my soulstone, a gem that was half soulgem and half cobblestone. This little stone would be their defeat. This little stone was my own invention. After many mistakes (and explosions) I made a device that could channel a smaller spell into a shockwave of magic. My attackers fired more spells at me in vain as I stabed my stone into the ground, leaving some of the stone above ground. “Say goodnight!”I said as I shot a paralyzing ball of energy into the stone. The result was….magnificent. when the ball hit the stone a HUGE version of the spell came out, spreading across the mountain possibly hitting the fish below. The Thalmor soldiers stood in place not moving a muscle. ” Move you IDIOTS!” I was disappointed with the commander. He should know that these men wouldn’t be moving for a LONG time. I moved slowly to Logain, tipping over his troops along the way.“You wont escape this time” I un-sheaved my elven sword as he finally lowered his bubble shield and un-sheaved his sword. “Well then lets fin-“ he didn’t even finish that senence as I stabbed his knee. “AAAHHH” he screamed as he squirmed on the ground. "No more talking, your going to die for what you've done" I said while pulling out Azura's star and planting my foot firmly his chest.. "what are you going to do?" he asked.The look on His face was pure terror. My response was slashing his arms. He writhe in pain as I took my foot's weight off of him replaced it with Azura's star. "You know what Logain? After years of studying magic and the un-known I finally know how to give you the punishment you deserve." I had my hand on the star, it firm on his chest and my sword over the star. "Again, what are you going to do?"He asked, his voice nearly cracking. I smiled at what i was about to say."Only Talos knows." Before anything else could be said i brought down the blade into the star,and sank it into to his heart. Then his entire body was engulfed in blue light.The light died and I opened my eyes to see a new sword. The blade was still elven but everything else was different. The guard was mix of the star and the elven sword,the center being Azura's star but the sides of the star spread like eagle wings.The pommel was no longer wings either but a flat bottom. The grip was that of the dwarven sword, and looked like the perfect fit in my hands. The sword was sticking out of the ground and i was sitting on the ground bewildered, amazed, and....hollow. Just like the other 3 times I've killed I felt...hollow. 'hmm i'll have drink that feeling away later' I thought as i got up and walk torwords my new sword. As i picked it up a purple glowing orb appeared in front of me. And there stood a 7 foot tall woman wearing a white toga, with a bright orb in her right hand and a dark arb in the other. All i could think was 'oh sod its Azura.' Twilight sparkle was organizing a new shipment of books.She distictly told Spike to be at home before the new books came so she wouldn't have to sort and organize by herself, but the baby drake is nowhere to be seen.'Oh he is not getting any rubies today' she thought as she continued to organize the new books, placing them on the shelves with her magic. Spike walked into the the library, carrying a bag on his back. Twilight turned to him with a annoyed look on her face."Spike i thought i told you to be back here 5 minutes ago!" Spike took the bag and placed it on the table. "Sorry Twi, Pinkie said she made a new treat and wanted me to taste test it" said spike as he reached into the bag. "Well what was so great about this treat that you had to b-what is that?" she said as she stared at what Spike had in his hand. Spike had in his hand a tube of dough that was toped off with frosting." I think she called it a sweet roll" Spike said as he took a bite. " Wait if thats dough, why were you handling the bag like that, and how is that still soft?" she asked as Spike finished the pastry." I dont know Twi but- BURP".A scroll of paper erupted from spikes flame and landed on the ground."oooh a new letter!"Twilght said as she picked up and open the letter with her magic. Dear my faithful student twilight, This letter is a warning, I sense a new creature coming into equestria. I dont know if it means good or ill especially with all the sudden dragon attacks. You and all of the elements be on your guard but when and if you see this creature DONT attack. I will come to speak to you when I can figure it out where it has appeared. Good luck my little ponies -Celestia "Spike! We need to get everyone over here and figure how to handle this" Twilight yelled as she droped the letter and ran out the door with Spike. "Hello lady azura" I said calmly as I could. In truth I was only a tiny bit afraid of the daedra. After facing 40 lesser dragons and a dragon that could have eaten my very soul nothing could surprise me. She wore no expression as she started to speak. "Hello Dragonborn, I noticed you have changed my star. You, a mere mortal,have changed my artifact for eternity. That is a feat that must be rewarded" I smiled to this news 'oh thank Talos I thought she was gonna...' "BUT the way you changed it, bounding a soul permanently to the star, for that you must be punished" said Azura as she started walking towards me.At this point I was at the side of the bridge, the waterfall below me. I had no qualms with death. I saved the college, ended a war, SAVED SOVNGARDE and ended a grudge. I was fine with Death." Don't fret Dragonborn I would not kill you. But I will however banish you to another dimention.There you shall test the capabilties of my new sword. Say hello to the sun raiser for me when you meet her." And with that she kicked, yes KICKED,me in the chest over the edge of the bridge. I turned around midair only to see a a glowing black glowing portal. As I was hurling towards a black hole I did what any normal person would...i screamed. "AAAAAAHHHHHHHH-" My screaming only ended when I pasted through the portal and into the unknown. (From Author) Hey guys its my first time (bow chica wow wow) writing for an audience so be brutal and give me some suggestions and request for content in the next chapter (im gonna need some tips for pinkie’s lines soon)
Broken noses and startled maresThe mane six and spike gathered on the first floor of the library. Everyone had rushed to the library when Twilight had explained the situation. Rainbow Dash was hovering in the air shadowboxing while everypony else had formed a semicircle around Twilight to hear her read the letter out loud."I will come to speak to you when I can figure out where it has appeared. Huh, the princess really needs a royal spell checker. So what do you think girls?" asked Twilight. " Ah reckon we should wait and see just as the princess says. What you think Shy?" Applekack asked. Fluttershy hid behind her mane. "Um I agree with Applejack, this creature sounds really scary." Said Fluttershy. Rarity was brushing her mane with her magic holding the brush." This dreadful creature sounds like a ruffian from everfree forest.By chance do you think it shall appear there Twilight?" asked Rarity. Pinkiepie setting down a tray of sweetrolls on the coffee table. " Pinkie what are you doing?" asked Rainbow dash. "Im setting out a tray of sweetrolls for the monster! I hope Butch 101 doesn't steel them!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Whos Butch 101?" asked Applejack. " Butch is that little colt who stole my first batch and ran off with them." Said Pinkie." who cares about Butch, i want to know why your laying out treats for a monster?" asked Rainbow." How did you come up with them sweetrolls anyway pinkie?" asked Applejack. "Oh i got the idea from my friend sanguine. He showed me how to make them."said pinkie. All the mares look at each other in confusion. "Pinkie whos this sanguine feller?"asked Applejack. All of the mares were staring at pinkie waiting for an answer."Oh he's this pony with horns, and he comes to and loves all my parties! pinkie exclaimed."Wait how can a pony have horns and why haven't we seen him?" asked Twilight." Oh he only comes when there's a party and said he could get real trouble if his brothers or sisters ever knew he was here so he never stays." said Pinkie. Twilight,Applejack,Rarity,Rainbow and Fluttershy were completely confused at this point so they dropped the subject as pinkie being pinkie. " Going back on subject girls, we have to be ready, i suppose we all stay here and wait for the princess to find the creature."said Twilight. "Sounds like a plan"said Applejack. "If i must "said Rarity."Ok, if thats what you want" said Fluttershy."uuugh come on Twi"complained Rainbow."Come on dash i got some daring do books you could read to pass the time." and with that Twilight and Rainbow walk over to a bookshelf to look for the daring do series and everypony else(and spike) went on to idle things while they waited for the Princess to message them. -Meanwhile in the black-hole- "AAAAAAAAAHHHHH.AAAAAAHHHHHH!!" OK falling into a sightless, dark, and overall FRIGHTENING portal after getting kicked off a bridge by a deadra was a little startling.So much that I couldn't stop screaming. (Although i should have ran out of air an hour ago.) While screaming i calculated that i had been falling for an hour or so. Where ever i was being sent to, it was taking a long time to get there. I took inventory and realized i still had everything as far as could tell. My lute and my magic pack filled with all the things i couldn't leave the house without, all tucked in my sleeveless chainmail chestpiece.(Author:small detail, will come in later) As i started to stop screaming, i saw an image quickly approaching. The image i saw was a shelf in what seemed to be a library.As i realized i was going straight into it, i did what anyone flying into a wall would do...i screamed. "AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" I yelled as passed through the portal, facefirst into a shelf and fell on the ground knocking books off the shelves,and on to my body. I thought i heard a few startled gasps and an "eep" as i drifted into unconsciousness. -The library 5 minutes before the crash- During the wait the mane six(and Spike) found idle things to do while they waited.Rarity had convinced spike to brush her mane while she looked at herself in a mirror." As much as i adore my mane, i need something new and fresh. Do you think so spikey?" Rarity asked. Spike continued to brush her mane as he said."Oh you know me Rarity i think you look pretty no matter what you what you look like." "aaw! that sweet of you spike but i think i should change it up a bit."said rarity.Applejack and(forcibly by applejack)Fluttershy was still trying to pry some information about sanguine from pinkie. "Come on Pinkie! How come none of us seen 'em?"asked Applejack."Well he kinda sounds like one of my goat friends with those horns you mentioned."said Fluttershy. "No he's just a pony with horns!" said pinkie "Come on guys its just pinkie being pinkie." "What ever you say dash"said AJ as she went into the kitchen to bake a pie for the wait.Twilight was finishing sorting the new books. While rainbow was reading a DD book on the couch."Aaaand done. Now i can we pla-what is that noise?" She and the other mares start to hear, what could only be described as a 'noise', coming from what seemed to be the air."What the hay is that?!"said applejack as she walked out of the kitchen.A black portal appeared in front of twilight and she jumped to the side.She puts an ear towards the portal." i think its coming from here." The rest of the mane six walked to the portal, keeping to the sides of it. "AHHHHH" "Ah think its screaming"said AJ."AAAAAHHHHH-*slam*." Suddenly a metal clad creature flew out of the portal, slammed into the shelf of new books and knocked them all off and landed on the metal creature. "WHAT THE HAY?"said AJ "YAY! said Pinkiepie. "WHAT THE?"said RD. "BY CELESTIA!"said Rarity. "Eep!" said Fluttershy as she hid behind the couch. "MY BOOKS!!!!"said Twilight.
Introductions(and Twilight has a nerdgasm)-The library- I woke up minutes later as you could exspect still on the floor covered head to toe in books.I slowly slid my hand to my face and almost reeled back at what I felt. From the blood dripping out of nose and how soft my face was, I could tell things had been broken.'Have...to get...up.' I managed to think as my head hurt just as much as my face. As I pushed myself up I started to hear voices and then gasps.'Who's ever library I crashed into, I hope they can forgive me for intruding.'I thought as got to my feet and readied my hand for a healing spell. I kept my eyes closed in concentration. As i released my concentration i felt the bones in my face heal and opened my eyes.I opened my eyes to see...6 small brightly colored horses.'not the strangest things I've seen.' I thought. "Um hello...horses?" I said not really prepared for the reaction i got. All six horses gasped and backed up.All except one. the pink colored horse bounced up to me, how she did this i did not know. "HiImpinkiepiewhatsyourname?"It said in one breath. To be honest i was not prepared for it to speak."Aah!"I yelled. A horse with a rainbow mane and...wings?It flew at the pink one and caught it, covered it's mouth midair. "Pinkie what are doing?It said. "Did it just talk?!"said the lavender one. "Eep" said the yellow one hiding behind what i thought was furniture. "What the hay is it?"said the orange one. The lavender one walked a bit closer to me cautiously. "Um hello Can. You. Speak?" It said slowly. Considering how many times I've had dealings with talking animals and objects, I have chose always to keep calm as possible. "Yes I can speak, I have to ask...who are you and where am I?" I asked. It was obviously taken back by my speech but straightened her posture. "My name is Twilight Sparkle and your in Equestria." 'Huh new realm populated with horses that can talk. Well its obvious that I'm gonna be here for LONG time.'I thought. I had made a spell long ago that would allow me to change what i'm wearing on the go. Since I knew introductions were going to be a while i "Insta-changed" into my black fine clothing and took off my turbin to let down my hair. It was a simple black set of robes with a belt, and my hair was long tied back dreadlocks.All the ponies were surprised my sudden change of clothing. "Did you just do magic?!" asked Twilight. "Why yes i did, i wanted to get comfy because i know these introductions are going to be long. So what are you?"I said. At this point the mare had a excited look on her face as levitated a quill and parchment and started to speak. " Were ponies, but i want to know how can do magic without a horn, what are you,where your from and what your name is."she said in an excited tone. "Well first of all, I'm human, second most humans with the mind to do magic can do magic,third i come from from the dimension of nirn, and forth ( and you should have asked this first) is Le'son Onsi traveling bard, dragonborn, arch-mage of the mage's college, and ender of the skyrim civil war." I said."Also you may have forgotten about you friends behind you." "Yeah Twi you could had let us introduce ourselves before you went on converse'n with the monster."Said the orange one. "Ello there Mr.Onsi ah'm Applejack." "I'm Rarity and I must say your attire is beautiful" said the white one with amazing hair. "Hmpf, I'm Rainbow dash and you better not try anything funny"said the rainbow maned pony. "Um I'm Fluttershy and if its fine with you I'm gonna stay back here" she said from behind the couch. "WANT A SWEETROLL?!" said the one known as Pinkiepie as she apeared out of nowhere with a tray of sweetrolls. "Um no thank you miss." I said still trying to figure out where she came from.All the mares started to form a semi-circle around me. "With introductions out of the way, you said you were dragonborn, what is that?" asked Twilight. "Yeah what is that, was your mom or dad a dragon?" asked a voice from behind me. I turned around and it took every fiber of my being not to go on the offensive. Behind me was a small dragon. Sure I was friends with two WAY bigger dragons but I was still un-easy around them. "Are you a dragon?" I asked the little drake. "Um yeah, my name is Spike why?" said the drake. "Then you wont like this story. Before I go on i must let you know that the dragons of my realm are evil, vile creatures. They are intelligent but most use this intelligence to destroy and conquer." They all looked shocked at this. "Thats horrible, but please tell us what is a dragonborn?"asked Twilight. "A dragonborn is a person blessed by the gods to permenitly vanquish dragons by absorbing their souls. But before you judge me for this, know that dragons respect those who can defeat them. While I absorb them they pass an understanding to me of how to use their power out of that respect. In fact I have two dragon friends and one of them can explain their nature" I explained. The six mares calmed down but Spike was still uneasy. "So they dont die angry?"asked Fluttershy. "No, in fact they live through me and help me understand their power." I said. "So what is this power these dragons have?"asked Twilight. "In my realm dragons use their very language to project fire, ice, and other abilities, actually i would like to have Spike's help demonstrating this." I said looking at Spike. He still looked afraid of me. I couldn't blame him. I just told him that I could kill him and eat his soul. So I'll have to gain his trust. And i had a suspicion that the other mares didn't trust me. 'I'll have to remedy that' I thought. "Well lets not get ahead of ourselves,we still need to wait for the princess to see you."said Twilight. "Who is this princess?" i asked. Twilight smiled at this."She's the ruler of equestria and raiser of the sun." 'Didnt Azura say something about the sun raiser before she KICKED me over the bridge?' I thought. "Well then in the mean time you can have someone watch me while we wait,though i promise i wont be any trouble." I said as 3 mares disbanded from the semi-circle.Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkiepie stayed. Rarity and Applejack talked while Pinkiepie was still offering me sweetrolls. "So what's with that there hair do of yours?" asked AJ. "Yes what is that hair style? asked Rarity. "They're called dreadlocks my dear. And i must say your hair is beautiful."I said. I could not lie, regal hair that wasn't a mess was a rare find in skyrim. She blushed at my flattery. "Dreadwhat now?" asked Applejack confused. "Dreadlocks, its a method of twisting and wetting hair until it becomes like this(A/N I may be Jamaican but I sure AS HELL dont know how to make dreads.)but obviously its worth the challenge." I said. "Clearly."said Rarity. " Ah just dont get why y'all go to all that trouble for yer hair."said Applejack "Le'son,please tell you'll teach me how to do this hair stlye after you meet the princess." I smiled"Of course I will Miss Rarity but while we wait why dont i play you all a song." I said as i pulled my lute out of my magic bag in my robes and started playing as the song went on everyone stopped and listened totally captivated. No one noticed the flash of golden light and when the light died a white unicorn with wings and flowing rainbow hair stood there. She looked at the crowd that gathered around me and she began to look angry. " HOW DARE YOU ENTHRALL MY SUBJECTS."
Oh Sod"Oh sod”. I managed to say before I was pelted with blasts of green energy I knew all too well as parelization.Multiple shots hit me in quick repetition. Luckily after so many magical mishaps at the college i learned to be over-cautious and carry with me 2 pieces of anti-magic items with me at all times. That gold ring just saved my hide. The Mare stopped firing magic and i just stood there perfectly still just for what Delvin would call "shits and giggles". “Princess what are you doing?!” Yelled twilight. “He was enthralling you with his spell!” She said who I now know as Celestia “He was playing beautiful music and you just blasted him!” Yelled Rarity. "You may have gone bit overboard sugarcube.”said Applejack “I'm still here you know” I said suddenly They all looked to me surprised “Why are not a statue and how do you speak?” asked Celestia “I carry with me enchanted items that can absorb magic at all times and I am human” “Enchantments? Well you’re obviously not a neanderthal, why are you in my dimension what were you doing to my little ponies?” She asked (A/N: TWICE! that is exactingly how many times I’m going to say that damn line.) “Like rarity said princess the monkey was just his guitar thing” said Rainbow “Its called a lute” I said with distain. What ‘eves she replied “I still would like to know what you are doing in my dimension” said Celestia ‘I might as well not hold back’ I thought. “I was banished here by the deadric prince Azura. “ “What is a deadric prince, is he the lord of you dimention?” Asked twilight “Yes and no daedric princes are powerful creatures from another dimension called oblivion that can interact with my dimension of nirn but do not rule over it as much as they believe to” “There are more than one?” asked twilight “16 to be precise” I said “How can a kingdom function like that?” “Nirn is not a kingdom its an entire dimension of different races, the aldmeri, bosmer,orcs,nords, argonian…” I went on. “You still haven’t answered me” “Oh sorry, I was banished here as part of my punishment.” “What exactly did you do to be sent to another dimension?” To explain I took out the sword I still had at my side “This blade was once a mix of gem and stone that belonged to Azura but after what I did to it became this.” They all stared at the blade not taking their eyes off of it “How did this “gem” become a sword?” Asked Rarity. “The gem itself was made by Azura to hold the souls of the living creatures I bound my rivals soul to it so that he could get the punishment he deserved.” “What the hay did somepony do to get rangled up like that?” I took a deep breath I didn’t want to have to tell these people so soon but it was going to be unavoidable. “This man destroyed my village as a show of his strength and laughed as he did it.” I said. They all reeled back at my statement with a look of horror. “How could anypony do something like that?” In the Aldmeri dominion all generals must have a great feat under their belt to reach that rank. Logain aegis or as the hammerfell resistance calls him the shield of terror, defeated my heavelily fortified town with only a ward. I had long gotten over my emotions for that part of my sad tale but how my parents died that day is a story for those I would grow close to. “That horrible, I hate to admit it but someone capable of that deserves to be locked in a prison”. Said Celestia. I could hear sadness in her voice. I would like to apologize and welcome you to our world Mr.… “Onsi…Le’son onsi PrincessCelestia” I held out my hand and she gladly shook it “I’m glad we could get that out of the way but I regret to tell you may have fell from one disaster.” ‘You don’t know the half’ I thought “Into another as we’ve been having problems with the dragons of volcano valley.” She said “Wait dragons? What’s happened?” I asked “They’ve been increasingly aggressive, attacking villages and destroying crops. And worst of all they are claiming to be conquering equestria.” “I do not know if dragons of this world are anything like mine but how do they normally act?” “You have dragons in your world?” “Yes, but the dragons of my world were brought back from extinction by the demigod dragon alduin” Celestia froze for a second with a expression that was bordering on pure fear. I recognized this look as it was the same look jarl balgruf was wearing when I told him of aduin. “That name has been muttered among the dragons when they attack, they scream his name when they attack the towns. Rumors of a dragon black as night that soars through the skies faster than any dragon” Now it was my turn to freeze in shock. I thought Alduin had gone back to the land of gods to be punished by akotosh but that had been a hope if anything. Alduin has found a new dimention, one full of dragons of unknown strength. ‘well time to go back to work’ I thought as I recovered from my shock “Have no fear princess Celestia, for have found your solution I said proudly “What do you mean?” She asked “Le’son says that he is a hero from his realm called a dragonborn” Like most who didn’t understand the term Celestia looked confused “Are you saying you are the son of a dragon?” She asked “Urg no! why does everyone asked that!?, I’m sorry for the outburst but no. a dragonborn is a being of nirn who is blessed with a soul of a dragon and can use his or her voice use their shouts.” Now everyone looked confused. ‘Well it’s time for the long version’ I thought. “Do your dragons have their own language here?” “No they speak common just like us.” said Celestia “In my world their language contain words of power, words if stringed together, can construct a powerful effect.” I looked to spike. Hopefully with dragon attacks these ponies have become accustomed to deadly force. Being a dragon himself, the little one was taking all this talk about his kind with ease. “Spike would you like to learn a word of power?” “Oh can I twi?” “What are you planning to do?” “I’m going to teach him to blow fire using a word of power.” “Can you that?” I nodded “That sounds really dangerous and spike could get hurt.” Fluttershy said from behind the couch…again. She must have jumped back there when celestia showed up. “Come on dude, he already knows how to blow fire and how can you just speak and blow fire?” Rainbow said with condescending doubt. She almost sounds like those haughty high elf women from summerset isles. So damn proud until someone shows them up. “So can I Twi huh please?” Spike said with excitement in his voice. “Alright, but how will this work?” “Simple I project the word onto the ground, he reads it, and I shall transfer my knowledge of the shout to him.” I stared at the floor in front of Spike and take deep breath. After aduin’s defeat I spent about 2 years training with the grey beards, honing my abilities with the shouts. By the second year I was able to call odavieg and duriener with enough power to make them react quickly. I was also able to channel storm call and point out my targets, raining lightning were ever I wanted to. Along the way the greybeards also taught me ways of teaching the voice to others.or at least I figured that one out on my own, they couldn’t teach me everything. “YOL.” I said projecting the dragon scratch on the floor. “What is that chicken scratch?” Asked applejack. “Its dragonscratch to be procise now watch. Spike that is YOL, fire, read this word and keep the writing in your mind.” Spike stared at the dragonscratch not taking his eyes of it. “Now Spike listen carefully, take a deep breath and don’t let it out until I say so” He did as I asked and I then transferred some of my understanding of the word. He glowed with red light. “Now breath and I want you to yell this word at me shout it!” He let out his breath and took a stance. He took another deep breath and shouted… “YOL!” A ball of flame came towards me and quickly dissipated . it was a really good try but then again I did have a ring that could absorb any magic that came at me. I was unfazed but spike was beaming. “Oh my gosh spike that was great!” Twilight yelled and pulled spike in for a bearhug. “I’ve never seen anything like that, can you teach anyone this?” “Yes but it would take you at least a year or two to just do YOL and it would be weak.” “You don’t know me or my protégé very well.” Celestia said with pride. “Trust me I’m the best mage of my realm and met others of my caliber, this is not simple magic but a powerful language.” I explained “Well then I’d just have to learn it inside in out.” twilight challenged “I will try to teach you but we still have the”-*CRASH* There was a very loud crash coming from outside. I looked outside a nearby window to see a skinny but very tall black and blue dragon.its eyes glowed black but beamed with intelligence. It was throwing what seemed to be carts full of good at anything that moved. It was my time to show off. I insta-changed into my black, sleeveless chainmail, silver pants, and boots. “Maybe its time I show you what I can do?” I said with confidence “Let this be your trail Mr.Onsi, if you can chase off this dragon…"she looked to Fluttershy who was giving Celestia the most pleading look. “…WITHOUT killing it, you shall be given citizenship and amnesty of whatever crimes you may have committed. Now go and prove yourself.” "Gladly" I said before spotting the door and running off to face my first equestrian dragon
And Its GOOD!Take out a rampaging dragon that so far has destroyed 2 buildings, 10 carts and injured 4 ponies...without killing it? 'Nothing but sweet roll' I thought as I ran into the fray. In the 3 seconds I had my eyes off of it, the dragon had set its sights on a building, seemingly made out of sweets. 'Please let there be no one in there' I thought in vain as I saw 4 ponies run out the building but stopped dead in their tracks when they saw the dragon. A yellow stallion, a blue mare and 2 little ones, I couldn’t see their colors because they were cowering behind their parents. It was a family and no family gets separated on my watch. The dragon from I could see was 5 meters away from them, preparing fire breath. "Honey take the little ones and run as fast as you can!" yelled the yellow one to who I could assume was his wife. The dragon unleashed his breath and ALMOST hit the family. "WULD!" I shouted just in time to get in front of the family. The breath hit me and my enchanted equipment absorbed it. "Heroics are my job, now run!" I yelled. The parents looked relieved, another family saved. "Thank you mister monster!" one of the little ones said before it and its parents ran off to the safety of a pink bubble shield that had formed around the library. Celestia's horn was glowing and the other mares I met were ushering citizens in. When the family I saved got in, Pinkie Pie pulled the whole family in for a hug. The dragon on the other hand looked angry and confused. He quickly recovered his confusion and was about to breath fire on me again. It wouldn't have any effect on me obviously but I had to keep it busy. When the breath came I barrel rolled to the side and dodged it. "Why won’t you fry!?" the dragon yelled. He sounded like one of those teenage punks that wanted to join the Dawnguard, thinking they could just kill vampires and be heroes. Just like those teenagers, this one was about realize he got more than he bargain for. "You’re gonna regret defending these ponies! When our new boss gives us new powers to destroy these stupid ponies, we’ll get what’s ours!" he yelled. As I said, a punk that thinks he's tough and has no idea of what’s to come. 'It’s time to teach this egg what a real dragon is'. I thought, in fights I don’t usually talk but this punk at least needed a warning before getting the ass kicking of his life. "You’re going to regret coming here!" I yelled. He started laughing as if I told a joke. "TIID KLO UL" I shouted and everything slowed down to a crawl. I started to notice the damage he caused, several buildings were on fire, a group of ponies were scrambling to the shield and a dozen of them look like children. The fact that their fear was my opponent's fault was going to intensify his beating. I brought my fists up and proceeded to WORK. HIM. OUT. I honestly blacked out of rage but by the time I came to, time had gone to normal, and the dragon had a very bloody snout. "What...are...you?" he asked in a daze. I responded by grabbing one of his head spikes. This must have been a weak point because he went limp as soon as I had him my grip. "First you’re gonna tell me what your "boss" is planning and quickly." I ordered. "I don’t know anything man, they just sent me here to mess with the ponies." he replied. "Who do you report to then?" "Swift, Alduin’s lieutenant." "You’re very forth coming with this info, even the woodland animals don’t give up this easily." "HA, I don’t think this stuff worth it, besides I’m gonna die anyway." he said with confidence. "Actually you’re gonna live to tell the tale, and remember this name when you tell of how you failed." I said while raising him to me face to face. "Who’s name?" "...Dovahkin, FUS RO DAH!" With the warning given and the shout said, he was launched into the air and into the horizon. "That takes care of that." I said looking in the air. 'The dragon is gone but by the looks of this town there's a lot to do.' I thought. "FO KRAH DIIN" I shouted towards the fires. After my Greybeard training, frost breath had the reach of a FARM. All of the fires went out quickly and frosted over. ‘Another problem solved by shouting.' While walking to the bubble shield, I noticed all the ponies, including Celestia, were wearing a look of pure shock. Then out of nowhere they started cheering, jumping for joy. "Come on ponies, don’t you got a town to rebuild." they all knocked off the cheering and then quickly started to run to get to work on the town. "That was the most amazing thing I have ever seen." said twilight. "Dude that was awesome.” Yelled rainbow and spike. "You were so dashing, bravo Mr. Onsi." Rarity congratulated. "Thank you for not hurting him.” Said Fluttershy. Pinkie came out of nowhere and hugged me so hard that I couldn’t breath. "Thank you so much for saving them" she cried into my ear. When she let go she was in tears. "I think you just earned your place Mr. Onsi. I hereby give you amnesty of all previous crimes and give you official citizenship.” Celestia said. “I can also offer you a job if you are interested.” She added. "Is it to defeat Alduin?" I asked. "Yes that would be your top priority, but my subjects will need to protect themselves, I would also have you train who you can to fight and defend as you do." I thought on that for a moment. The ponies here were COMPLETLY unprepared. If they were to have any chance of surviving they would need my help. 'Well it’s time to teach again' I thought. “I’ll do it, I’ll set up here, send the word that if ponies want defend their land, they will come to..." "Ponyville." Celestia said. "Oookay, Ponyville and I shall teach them what I can." "Excellent, you can start with the elements of harmony." "Who are these ‘elements of harmony’?” I asked. “The mares are right behind me." said Celestia. Five of the mares stood proudly while Fluttershy tried to hide behind Rainbow Dash. 'This is going to be a loooooong training session' I thought looking towards them. (A/N: A big thanks to my new official editor, mild hotsauce. Thanks man, this thing would have been un-readable slag on the internet without you.)
Twilight makes a friend and Spike earns a brakeAfter Celestia left it was decided that we wouldn’t start training until I could get settled in and things had calmed down. Fluttershy said she had to attend to her "animal friends" and Pinkie Pie said she needed to help her friends the "Cake" family, what little damage done to their bakery. Applejack ran off with a cream colored filly to check on her family. Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Rarity, and Spike brought me back to the library to talk more on my world. When we got there, they took their seats on the couch while I sat on the floor. "Dude what were those shouts you used? That FRO one froze half the town!” yelled Spike. Ever since I the taught him fire breath his looks to me were less worried and more to amazement. "That my friend was frost breath, as I said there is more to being a dovah then just fire. You will learn that as we work together spike." I said. Spike was practically bouncing on the couch. His training was going to be easy. He was eager, had the affinity to learn and most importantly, he was a dragon. "Are you sure can’t teach those words to other ponies? That WUD shout made you go bucking FAST! Well, not as fast as me." said Rainbow. "It was WULD, and I doubt that Dash, that was only one word, the whole phrase could make me go faster than a team of pegasi." "Oh we'll see about that." Twilight levitated a quill and parchment. 'Well here it comes' I thought. "So how does that work? Can whole language produce effects like that?” she asked eagerly. "No it’s just that certain words hold power. Such as the words I’ll be teaching spike, YOL, fire, TOOR, inferno, and SHUL sun. These combine form fire breath." I explained. As I explained she was jotting down notes. "So can anyone use these shouts?" "As I told you, technically anyone can learn to shout draconic, but there’s more to it. Month long meditations, focusing all your being into making the word real. Even though being dragonborn makes me enough like a dragon to learn fluidly, it took me 2 years to master the shouts I know." "Oh well... what about magic? You told me everyone in your world can do magic. Here you have to have a horn to channel magic." "Ah I thought on this as well, in my world it’s a matter of knowing your choices anyone can do magic, but most take the brutish route because that’s all they know. Here you are all exposed to magic and how to works, and I think I can get you all to use it." "Yeah right man, I haven’t even seen you do magic yet." said rainbow To prove her wrong I spotted a flower pot on the other side of the room, I reached for it and levitated it into my hand in a heartbeat. Rainbow Dash stared at me with aw. “whoa. " she said "What other spells do you know?" twilight asked with a new quill and parchment ready "I know all kinds of spell healing, conjuration, destruction, defensive, illusion...” I went on about my spells naming them all from summoning a fire ball to conjuring an atronach.” The last one was what caught Twilight's attention. "Wait you say there’s a spell to summon a little helper?" She asked. "Of course, but it takes a lot of focus to maintain the spell, would you like me to show you how to make a storm atronach Twilight?” "Why that would be lovely, I’ve been looking to give Spike some time off." We both got up and I took out a pile of void salts and 3 diamonds from out of my pocket, and placed them on the floor. "What are those stones and-oh my are those diamonds?" asked Rarity She moved closer to the pile of stones to get a better look, she somehow materializing a magnifying glass from out of nowhere. She looked back at me surprised. "Those are perfect cut diamonds, much better than I could manage, how did you get your hoofs on these?" "I found plenty of gems and treasures during my days as a career thief." "Being a thief in your world is considered a profession?" asked Twilight. "Yes but most are just thugs looking to make coin, I on the other hand stole from pompous nobles and gave to the poor. But most of my fortune comes from the blessing of Barenziah." "Another god?" “No but more of a mix of luck and a spirit of a queen's favor, the one who could find and rebuild her crown would be blessed with finding gems for the rest of their life." I explained. “What is this world's currency anyway?" "Bits, gold coins, why?” asked Twilight "Because my world goes off of gold too and was wondering what to do with....about 500,000 gold coins." Everybody’s jaw dropped...literally. Either the mention of gold has that effect in this world or things were going to get stranger from here. "Well...let’s get back to the atcronarch, and then we can discuss my coin purse.” I said. Everyone recovered from their shock and focused on me. I placed my hands flat in the air and put them one over the other. Energy flowed through my hands enveloping the pile of stones below. The diamonds started to float and become one while the void salts began to hover under the diamonds in a pile. Then slowly, the salts began to envelop the diamond clump. "You need to take the spell from here Twilight, the stone will become whatever you want, just vision it." Twilight’s face scrunched up in concentration, there was a flash, and in the place of the stone was a filly sized unicorn, with black eyes. It was brilliant silver, but it was covered in what looked like sand. "I made that? What can it do? Is it sentient? Can I make it sentient?" Twilight asked almost lightning quick. "Yes, whatever you want it to do, no, and NO, it’s impossible to give something life without a soul to power it and for that you would need a soul gem, and a pony's soul.” I deadpanned. Twilight shuddered. If all ponies were going to be this squeamish then teaching them magic is going to be even more difficult. Tamrielic magic has never been pretty, and the dragon situation isn't going to get any better. "Other than that you can make it attack, defend, or give it other tasks." I said "Wait you mean you can like make order shelves and other stuff like that.” asked Spike "I guess." I replied confused. "Aw yeah I’m totally getting a day off! Thank you Crystal!" yelled spike Everypony in the room stared at spike. "What i named it Crystal." "I hope you are not this squeamish when classes begin Twilight, all of you need to be willing to do what it takes to defeat Alduin." "Oh don’t worry about us, we'll do what we need to do to, its Rarity and Fluttershy you need to-" Rainbow Dash was cut off by an angry Fluttershy entering the room. Her mane was a wreck, her eyes looked puffy from crying but her expression was pure rage. "THAT BASTARD KILLED HIM" she yelled. "Who-" twilight was cut off by Fluttershy running up to her face. "ANGEL, THAT PILE OF SCALES THAT LE'SON PUNTED, he burned half my house and KILLED ANGEL!” she yelled. "He must have come from the forest when he came into town. Fluttershy, lets calm down and-" "BUCK THAT!" She looked straight at me and first time since my parent’s death, I was truly afraid. I sensed the stare she gave me was only a fraction of its true power; from that point on I would have to be weary of making that certain pony angry. "You said that you killed dragons before right?” she said to me. “Yes?" "Have you ever tracked one down?" "Yes, why?" "Because you and I are gonna track him down, torture him and kill him...slowly." “No." At this point she got in my face and stared me down.as much as I did not like dragons (and was terrorfied of her at the moment) I NEVER pick a fight...if I can help it. "It’s never wise to pick a fight, and I’m not going to help you murder someone. Use this to steel your resolve for the fights ahead." Fluttershy had calmed down, but still looked crestfallen. I know how she felt, I was here because of revenge, but I wouldn’t help anyone take theirs. "Fine! but the next dragon that comes to town is mine, and he's going to love me. Oh I promise you all...he's going to LOVE me." Right before she left, she gave us the most murderous smile and an even more wicked laugh as she left out the door. "Well...that was BUCKING SCARY." proclaimed Twilight.
I'M RICH BI***(And I make it rain)I'M RICH BI***(And I make it rain) After Fluttershy left, I decided to look out the window to check progress on the town. All the debris from the dragon had been cleaned up quickly. The buildings were another story though; the ones that were hit weren't completely destroyed, but thoroughly damaged. "so Le'son, what kind of words of power are there, I know there’s fire breath, but you said there were others, like what?” asked Spike. "Well little dova, there’s shouts to Slowing Time, Summoning, Unrelenting Force, controlling the weather-" I was interrupted by a surprised Rainbow Dash. "NO WAY you can control the weather!" she yelled. "You doubt my skill?" I challenged. "Oh yeah, let’s take this outside, hey twilight you coming?" Rainbow Dash yelled to Twilight, who was in the middle of showing "Crystal" the atronach, how to organize the library to her liking. "Sorry guys, Crystal's going to need some training, Spike you want to go?” She asked. "You know it! This is gonna be-" Spike was interrupted by a mountain of quills and parchments dropping into his hands. "GREAT! I need you to take notes on the whole thing. How the environment reacted, what words did he use, I want a WHOLE report on this Spike." Twilight said without taking her eyes off Crystal, who was re-organizing the bookshelf I knocked down. "Fiiiiine. Ok let’s go guys!" Rainbow Dash, Spike (who was carrying less paper now), and I walked outside. The sun was still high in the sky and there wasn’t a cloud in sight. Ponyville's citizens were still hard at work repairing the town, not noticing their savior. Well except 1, a mare with a light-brown coat, a grey mane, and glasses came running and stopped to a screeching halt right in front of me. She looked relieved, scared, and flustered all at the same time. "Hello*huff* creature*huff*, I’m the mayor and I would like to thank you for saving our town and would like to be the first to say welcome to Ponyville!" she yelled. 'Well she’s not going to like me in a few minutes.' I thought. "Thank you Miss Mayor, please call me Onsi, how go the repairs?" I asked. She looked to the damaged buildings with a pained expression on her face. It was same one I saw on the jarls when they got news their holds were attacked. "Not well, Ponyville is no stranger to chaos as we normally have to deal Pinkie Pie's more destructive parties. We normally have repairs done within hours, but we hit a snag. The town's treasury has been depleted and we won’t be able to fix anything as quickly.” "What’s the estimate?" "About 2000 bits. Wait... no, 3000 bits including Fluttershy's house." "Hmmm....is this enough?" I asked as I took out an orange sack filled with gold and held it eye level to her. The mayor took a look in the sack and looked at with awe. "What...how...WAT? This is MORE than enough." the mayor said, a surprised look plastered on her face. "If need be I can even give you some valuable metals and ores to sell, they're not from here and are guaranteed to fetch a nice price for the treasury." That was too much for the mayor to handle and she fainted. "Well...at least you don’t have to worry about repairs. Now you said you doubt my powers Rainbow Dash?" I asked rainbow, who was hovering near my head. "Yeah I do, nopony but a Pegasus can mess with the weather and I don’t think a few WORDS can do that.” she said. "But I bet your gonna prove her wrong anyway, come on let’s see dude!” yelled Spike. "Ok, everyone stand back." I ordered. They did just that backing away about 5 meters away. "Alright...STRUN BAH QO" I shouted. The sky darkened, clouds appeared out of nowhere, and rain started pouring down like no tomorrow. All the ponies that were working stopped and looked at the once clear sky. Pegasi that were in the sky, stopped and hovered to look at the spectacle too, completely scared. "HOLY CELESTIA!" Spike and Rainbow yelled simultaneously as they ran/flew over to me completely amazed. "Wanna see something even more amazing?” I asked. As said before I trained myself to master all the shouts and their uses, with STORM CALL, all I have to do is concentrate to mark a target with my fingers to bring down a bolt of lightning. And I did just that, using my index and middle fingers I pointed to the ground 10 meters from us to call down lightning. The spot was far away enough not to hurt anyone, but a close enough to know it was me.*KA-BOOM*. A powerful bolt of lightning came down on the spot for only a second and left nothing behind but a burned mark on the cobble stone. The mayor woke up from the boom Spike and Rainbow were speechless. The mayor on the other hand was terrified. "By Celestia, did you do you do this?" she asked looking up to the sky. I nodded. "Amazing. Well...can you undo it? We still have work to do you know." "Right...hold on" I said as I focused all my energy into stopping the storm. ‘Wait... fuck this I have CLEAR SKIES' I thought. "LOK VAH KOOR!" I shouted into the skies and every cloud was gone. Everypony gawked at me amazed and terrified. "Again don’t you ponies have a town to fix?!" I yelled. The mayor snapped out of her bewilderment and turned to the working ponies. "He's right everypony, new supplies will be coming in soon, so keep at it and our town will be back to normal in no-time!" she yelled. Everybody went back to work still scared out of their wits. "Dude... that was....AWESOME! ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Well...not as awesome me." said Rainbow Dash who was now hovering near my head. "Oh so you can make rain and lightning by shouting?" I said. "Please tell me I’m gonna learn how to do that!" Spike pleaded. "No, what you saw was the shout COMPLETELY focused. Without the training I have, every living thing within 5miles would be in danger of being struck by lightning." I replied. Spike looked crestfallen. "But aside from true fire breath, you'll learn frost breath and unrelenting force. With these powers my friend, you’ll be force to be reckoned with in the field, but in time, once I meet everyone and settle on where I’ll be staying, we'll get started on shout training." this seemed to perk spike up and he looked at the quill and parchment in his hands. "OH CRAP THE NOTES!" "Screw the notes, we have more important things to do, like eating." said Rainbow Dash. "Come on lets go to sugarcube corner." With my storm cleared, I changed back into my robes and we started walking to the (slightly burned) gingerbread house that Rainbow Dash called Sugarcube Corner.
Tears and Lesson plansMe, Rainbow, and Spike, started walking to the once great bakery, which was now covered in soot. As we were walking, pink blur came out of thin air and tackle me to the ground. "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR SAVING THEM!" Pinkie Pie said in one breath as she proceeded to hug the life out of me. "No problem, but can you please get off of me now?" I asked running out of air. She obeyed and when we were both on our feet, I was able to get a good look at her. Her mane was still as poufy as ever but her eyes were red and swollen from crying. "I'm guessing those ponies I saved were your family?” I asked. "Yeah, they practically raised me, I was so worried that they might get hurt and...." she looked down at the ground, most likely to avoid crying. "It’s ok pinkie, we were scared too, well all except me." Rainbow chimed in. "I know Dashie.*sniff* the Cakes are safe and I’m very grateful. The real reason I'm here is to give Le'son his welcome to Ponyville!” she said, starting to perk up. "But the mayor already welcomed me in." I protested. Pinkie shook her head. "She didn’t give you the welcome wagon!" Pinkie then put her hoof to her mouth and whistled. A cart pulled up next to pinkie in a speed faster than whirlwind sprint. Pinkie pressed a big red button on the wagon and she started to sing . After she SOMEHOW blew a horn through my head I couldn’t take it anymore. "OK I GET IT!" I interrupted. She fell mid-air and landed on her bottom. Her hair went flat and she looked like she was on the verge of crying again. "Y-you don’t like it?" she asked me almost on the verge of tears. "No no no pinkie it’s just that *groooowl*" my stomach interrupted. "Ooooh you got case of the rumblies! Its ok then, I’m sure the Cakes will want to thank you anyway, come on." Pinkie said, full of spirit .We stepped into the bakery, Pinkie Pie leading the way. A dark pink mound of hair was all I could see behind the counter. "I heard the bell, Pinkie is that you?" the pink hair mound asked. "Yeah it’s me Mrs. C, brought somepony you may want to meet" said Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie, a dragon just attacked, and we almost died! Plus the store is a mess, this somepony better be...."she stopped when she brought her head from behind the counter. Like most people when they meet the person who saved their life, she stood frozen with a shocked look on her face. "Um Mrs. Cake? Helloooo?" Pinkie asked. Mrs. Cake shook her head, and started crying loudly, leaning over the counter. "Thank you so much, thank you for saving my children!" she cried into the counter. "It was no problem, just please. Stop. Crying." I demanded . She lifted her head from the counter, wiping her face. "Cuppy? Are you alright?" a voice asked from the back of the bakery. A yellow stallion ran into the room bumping into the door frame, his head completely covered in flour. "Are you ok honey-bon?" he asked trying to wipe the flour off his eyes. "Carrot Conga Cake, what did you do to yourself?" Mrs. Cake asked her temporarily blind husband. "I heard you crying again, I had to, heh, see what the fuss was about." he replied as he finally got enough of the flour out of his eyes to see, 3 ponies, a dragon, and (of course) a confused redgaurd. When he saw me, like his wife, he started to tear-up. He didn’t get as far as Mrs. Cake but it was obvious that he was going to. "Before you shower me with thank yous, how about we get some food, I meet your children and we'll call it even, alright?" I asked. Both of the cakes seem to perk up and looked at each other. "I'll get the snacks?" asked Mrs. Cake. "I’ll get the little ones?" Asked Mr. Cake. They both nodded at the same time. Mr. Cake went off into the back to get the kids while Mrs. Cake took our orders. "Are you ok Mrs. Cake?" Asked Rainbow. "I'm fine Rainbow Dash, it’s just that we were so scared, for us and our foals and...*sniff* but none of that. Now we're safe and we owe this stallion some darn good cupcakes." She wiped what was left of her tears and froze in shock.....again. "What is it?" I asked. "It’s just that we've been fawning over you and we don’t even know your name.” She said. "That’s my fault I guess, my name is Le'son Onsi, Mrs. Cake." "Well Mr. Onsi you and your friends are going to get the best cupcakes we can make." "Oh oh oh! Mrs. Cake can you put some rubies in mine please?" Asked Spike. "I would spike but we been out of gems for a while, I’m sorry." She replied. I raised my eyebrows in confusion. 'Looks like the dragons here eat jewels, either that or I’m about to waste a bunch of perfectly good gems.' I thought while taking out a pouch of rubies. "These should suffice, I think." I said placing the pouch on the counter, some of them slipping out. Both Spike and Mrs. Cake stared at the pouch. Spike in hunger and Mrs. Cake in Amazement. "Dude you are the best!" Yelled Spike. "Where did you get these?" Asked Mrs. Cake in amazement. "I don’t know if you can tell by looking by looking at him, but this dude is LOADED." Said Rainbow. "Oh my, well.... I guess I'll throw these into the mix." She took the bag gingerly with her mouth and trotted off into the back. "Ooh, I better go help her, don’t worry guys we'll be back in a jiffy." Said Pinkie as she bounced into the back. Rainbow Dash, Spike and I sat down at a circular table, allowing us to look at each other. "While they're cooking, I want to know how the hay you plan on training us. You said that those shouts take years to learn, so how are we gonna fight these dragons?" Asked Rainbow. "Simple I'm going to teach you all magic." I said with confidence. Rainbow and Spike gave me a blank stare that was starting to creep me out until she started talking again. "Dude didn’t you hear me before? Only unicorns can do magic." "Rainbow look around you. Your world is shrouded in magic; to harness it only takes concentration. With my training you ponies will be more than prepared." "I just don’t get it man, you talk like everyone in your world does magic." said Spike. "They do spike, or at least they can, but as I said most don’t because they don’t want to learn how to, but some work magic without knowing it. Like enchanting, most bandits can do it easily, but don’t know it’s magic, that something else we'll cover. "Dude you sound Mrs. Cherilee. She’s a teacher and you sound exactly like her." said Rainbow. "If she's a teacher then that’s probably because I WAS a teacher. I was arch-mage or chief professor, of the Mages College." “That must so cool Le’son."Spike assumed. "Alright class, we'll be learning how to throw lighting today, turn your spell books to page 10. HAH HAH HAH!" Rainbow mocked,deepening her voice to sound like mine. "I wouldn’t sum it up like that; the college was place mostly to test your ideas without criticism." "Wait ponies in your world don’t like magic?” Asked Rainbow. "Oh people LOVE us when we're enchanting their equipment, but when it comes to being in society everyone thinks we're necromancers." "What’s a necromancer?” Asked Spike. "a necromancer is someone who enthralls the dead to do their bidding." I explained. Both Rainbow and Spike just stared at me in shock.' I think this is the 3rd time they've done this' I thought. "You mean...they TURNED ponies into zombies?" Spike asked with his teeth chattering. "That’s just sick dude." said Rainbow. "Yes it’s a disgusting thing to see. You'll learn more about it when we go into conjuration, but back to the harnessing of magic, it will be difficult but what’s important is that you trust me. ah here’s our snacks." They both turned around to see pinkie pie walking over with a tray of sweets in her mouth. She placed it on out table and I could see the platter of sweets she gave us. On the tray were 6 cupcakes and 5 sweet rolls. 3 cupcakes were chocolate with rubies and frosting. While the other cupcakes where cyan blue. Dash and spike looked ready to pounce on the tray, their mouths literally watering. The snacks looked plenty appetizing to me, it’s just that I normally eat soups and meats, but that was going to be an adjustment. 'That’s right they eat nothing but Plants! Well there goes the thought of using that horse meat stew.' I thought laughing. "I hope you guys like em, and that extra sweet roll is just for you Onsi." said Pinkie Pie with a smile on her face. As Dash and Spike began to DESTROY their respective cupcakes, Mr. and Mrs. Cake came in with the twin foals. One had a crème colored coat and a brown, windblown mane. While his sister had a yellow coat and an orange mane that was tied in pigtails. Both of them stared at me surprised. "Mr. Onsi, these here is my twin angels, Pumpkin and Pound. Foals this is Mr. Onsi" "Oh my gosh! It’s the monster that beat up the dragon!" Pumpkin yelled. She sounded so much like Sophie from Windhelm. "Yeah that was so awesome the way you just decked him the snozz! You are so cool Mr. Onsi." said Pound who sounded like Blaise. "Think nothing of it children, I was doing my job." I said getting up and walking over to the children and parents. "My real reward is seeing another family safe, and here is a present for you both." I said as I took out 2 gold necklaces, one emerald, one ruby and put them on Pumpkin and Pound's neck. "These necklaces are enchanted to take most damage, but do not get careless, you can still get hurt." I said with authority. "Oh my, well what do you say kids?" asked Mr. Cake. "THANK YOU MR. ONSI" the little Cakes said again. "Think nothing of it. Children in these times of danger need a little something extra." I replied. "You've done so much for us Mr. Onsi, do you have a place to sleep tonight?" asked Mrs. Cake. "No actually I haven’t thought about it." I honestly hadn’t given it much thought at the time. "Well you’re always welcome here until you can get on your hooves Onsi." Mr. Cake. "Oh my gosh! It would be like a sleepover! We could plan parties, play with the baby Cakes, and and...."Pinkie went on. "I might take you up on that offer, but right now I need to figure out my clothing situation." I said and the parents nodded in agreement. "Alright I’m fed, let’s get you to rarity, I gotta get back to weather patrol and tell them about where that storm came from." said Rainbow. With that we walked out of the bakery, leaving pinkie to help the cakes with orders. Next stop the boutique.
The cloth storm (Filler at its best)After we left the bakery, we stood in front of the candy-coated building to observe the surprising progress on the town. Frame-work was already on some buildings, and others were completely repaired. I was dumbfounded. Rainbow saw my surprise and smiled. “Mayor Mare told you that we build fast.” “I know what she said but I’ve never seen anyone, or anypony as the case may be, build that fast.” I said. SERIOUSLY! Last time I was at Whiterun they were still repairing walls and houses. And the war ended 3 YEARS AGO! “Alright come on, Rarity’s boutique is over there.” Rainbow pointed to a tall white building that had been scorched over the doorway. “You’re not coming?” Spike questioned. “Of course not! We just got a HUGE unscheduled rain storm. The weather team has to be freaking out.” Spike stared at her skeptically, crossing his arms. “You just wanna tell the story don’t you?” “Ah, Spike, you know me so well. Well, see you guys later.” She took off so fast that the wind she created pulled on my robes. “Well then, I see that she wasn’t lying about being fast. Let’s go Spike." We gladly started walking. As we were walking, I noticed just how well the towns people, or well ponies, were getting over the dragon attack. Most were just carrying on with their day. Others were picking up and repairing their wrecked carts and stands with smiles on their faces. “Near destruction must be regular in this world.” “Well not completely regular, it’s just that after dealing with Pinkie for so many years, the ponies here just get used to strange stuff. What REALLY got everypony scared was Discord.” “What is this “discord”?” I said with air quotes. “Discord is a draconis that is capable of doing anything. And I mean ANYTHING. From making it rain chocolate milk to making the time of day change spontaneously. Seriously, he made Pinkie seem normal.” He said with a worried look. “Sounds like another party animal I know. Is he still around?” “No, Twilight and the girls beat him using the elements of harmony and turned him to stone.” “Well I’m gonna have to see these weapons myself. Anything that can take out a madgod must be powerful.” “When we get back to the library, I’ll have twilight look ‘em up for you, but I need to ask you something.” “Go for it.” “When…when you said you killed dragons…how many?” I dreaded this conversation. I hate to talk about the killing of any creature. It always brings me guilt. As a leader and a teacher, guilt was something I couldn’t afford to show. “I take no pleasure in saying this Spike but I’ve honestly lost count. In my world dragons attacked relentlessly and someone had to stop them from hurting innocent people, I couldn't hesitate.” Spike’s worried expression never changed. “And when you say you earned their respect…what does that mean?” “You see, the dragons of my world are very prideful. Although they are merciless, it is their nature. But when someone can beat them…they must honor that person’s strength. That is what it means to have a dragon’s respect.” “Well I guess that’s cool. Here we are.” We approached the scorched door. "I wonder how Rarity is taking the damage." Spike kicked at the ground. We walked in and saw pure chaos. Cloth and various gems were swirling around the room, covered in a blue aura. In the middle of the mess was Rarity. Her horn was glowing in the same aura as the items. "NO NO NO! This is all WRONG." She levitated more cloth and gems to a pony-shaped manikin. They began to arrange themselves into what I could guess was pony-fashion... if you can call an emerald covered mess fashion. 'This woman uses WAY too many gems' "Excuse me, miss Rarity, do you need help?" The cloth storm stopped and everything fell on the floor. Rarity turned around to be both surprised and embarrassed. "Sorry for barging in miss Rarity, just wanted to see if you were busy." Rarity calmed herself, wiping a bead of sweat off her forehead. "Heh, think nothing of it dear. I am just a bit stressed." "What’s going on?" Spike asked Rarity while she was picking up gems off the floor with her magic and placing them into a chest. "An order for Canterlot is supposed to go out tomorrow! But with Onsi's arrival and the dragon attack, I couldn't finish the designs because of...DESIGNERS BLOCK!!” She feinted on a couch that literally came out of nowhere. I couldn't keep my eyes off the gems still scattered on the ground. The various gems on the ground were calling to the thief in me. I held it back and brought my attention back to Rarity. "I'm sorry, Ms. Rarity, maybe these could give you some inspiration?" I reached into my robes, pulling out a set of Dunmer mage robes and showing them to her.The robes were long and red, embroidered with yellow cloth at the edges. Rarity jumped off the couch and ran to the robes, eyeing them like a general would to a battle map. "Oh my, Mr. Onsi, these robes are absolutely fabulous! Where did you get them?" "Don’t worry about that little detail. You can use these for your designs and hurry up on those orders. I'm going to need you to fill a BIG order soon and trust me, it will require your attention." Rarity looked at me with uncertainty but then smiled. "Well darling with these robe designs I'll be done by tonight. But I would like to know what could possibly need all of my attention." "One word my dear...ENCHANTMENT!" I yelled with excitement. Rarity jumped back surprised but settled down and looked me curiously. "You mean you’re going to enchant clothes?" "And armor. We're going to need armor for you girls and whoever else wants to fight. Rarity, we’re going to need a blacksmith." Her face turned into a deep frown. "You mean working with dirt and fire and, egad, metal? Absolutely not, Mr. Onsi!" She turned her head. "Alright then. You can be in charge of the enchantments, I'll see if Applejack wants the job.” She settled and took the robes away from me using her magic. "Then it’s settled. I'll get started on the robes for Canterlot and we'll talk about this order later." With that said, she walked into a back room holding the robes, and A LOT of cloth and gems. "Well that didn't go as planned" Spike sighed. "Hardly anything does for me. Can you take me to Applejack?" "Alright! Next stop, Sweet Apple Acres!" We walked out of the boutique and began heading to the place called Sweet Apple Acres.
Old friends(AKA enemies)Our story begins as we see a man walking across a large cobblestone bridge over a waterfall on the side of a mountain. As we get a closer look of the man we see he has brown skin and is wearing armor. The armor is black chainmail, he’s also wearing white, (almost silver),cotton trousers, and steel boots. The most distinguishing part of his armor set was his black turbin. It was from this headwear, that we could tell he was a redguard. How can I tell he was a redguard? That’s because that man is me. Let me introduce myself, I am Le’son Onsi, traveling skald, dragonborn, arch-mage of winterhold and ender of the skyrim civil war. Le’son is strange name for a redguard isn’t it? Mother was a breton and father was a redguard. Mother INSISTED I have a Breton name. Why I speak of them in the past tense is a story for another day, as this day I was wandering around the reach countryside strumming my lute, making sure it was tuned properly. I've always loved music and I always loved the lute, it was the first instrument I played and this one held a special place in my heart. As i was walking thought i heard a rumbling but it quickly stoped and ignored it. It was then I saw a lightning bolt go past my head. I turned around completely calm, to see a-BY THE SANDS AN ARMY of Thalmor warriors. From first glance I could see about 20 men. The man who shot the bolt was the only one of the soldiers in Thalmor robes, obviously the commander.The high elf had a long black beard and even longer hair coming from under his hood. “We meet again boy” Said the man. ‘I remember that voice’ I thought. That man was the reason I had to leave Hammerfell. He is the reason I carry this elven sword. Logain Aegis was the reason that I would have no qualms killing today…or just him at least. I don’t normally kill but always keep the sword to maim those who came close and couldn’t hit with magic. “YOU” I said with great disdain. “Yes me boy, it seems you caused quite a stir in the dominion, so much that they had to call me. Well I hope you've prayed to your false-god dragon-FARCE, because your going to see him today”! After he was done with his mediocre speech, he raised and waved his arm forward and 10 of his men came at me with lightning and elven swords in hand. They realized their mistake quickly as i used my favorite shout, “OD AH VING!” I said and my dragon friend Odahving responded by diving into my attackers and flying back into the air with 3 of them with him. The 7 that remained were completely stunned and staring at Odahving coming in for another dive. I used that chance to shoot balls of paralyzing magic at the attackers. As they fell to the ground I had a wide smile on my face. Logain’s face however had gone from smug to worry. He ran to the back of his small army, opened his hands and generated a bubble field around him. ‘Damn! Well he’ll come last then’ I thought as the last 9 of his men started shooting lightning bolts at me. Of course with no progress as the bolts only hit my armor to dissipate, as I had long ago enchanted my armor to COMPLETELY brush off magic. Logain's jaw was agape when he realized what had happened. “My turn” I said as I reached into my pocket and pulled out my soulstone, a gem that was half soulgem and half cobblestone. This little stone would be their defeat. This little stone was my own invention. After many mistakes (and explosions) I made a device that could channel a smaller spell into a shockwave of magic. My attackers fired more spells at me in vain as I stabed my stone into the ground, leaving some of the stone above ground. “Say goodnight!”I said as I shot a paralyzing ball of energy into the stone. The result was….magnificent. when the ball hit the stone a HUGE version of the spell came out, spreading across the mountain possibly hitting the fish below. The Thalmor soldiers stood in place not moving a muscle. ” Move you IDIOTS!” I was disappointed with the commander. He should know that these men wouldn’t be moving for a LONG time. I moved slowly to Logain, tipping over his troops along the way.“You wont escape this time” I un-sheaved my elven sword as he finally lowered his bubble shield and un-sheaved his sword. “Well then lets fin-“ he didn’t even finish that senence as I stabbed his knee. “AAAHHH” he screamed as he squirmed on the ground. "No more talking, your going to die for what you've done" I said while pulling out Azura's star and planting my foot firmly his chest.. "what are you going to do?" he asked.The look on His face was pure terror. My response was slashing his arms. He writhe in pain as I took my foot's weight off of him replaced it with Azura's star. "You know what Logain? After years of studying magic and the un-known I finally know how to give you the punishment you deserve." I had my hand on the star, it firm on his chest and my sword over the star. "Again, what are you going to do?"He asked, his voice nearly cracking. I smiled at what i was about to say."Only Talos knows." Before anything else could be said i brought down the blade into the star,and sank it into to his heart. Then his entire body was engulfed in blue light.The light died and I opened my eyes to see a new sword. The blade was still elven but everything else was different. The guard was mix of the star and the elven sword,the center being Azura's star but the sides of the star spread like eagle wings.The pommel was no longer wings either but a flat bottom. The grip was that of the dwarven sword, and looked like the perfect fit in my hands. The sword was sticking out of the ground and i was sitting on the ground bewildered, amazed, and....hollow. Just like the other 3 times I've killed I felt...hollow. 'hmm i'll have drink that feeling away later' I thought as i got up and walk torwords my new sword. As i picked it up a purple glowing orb appeared in front of me. And there stood a 7 foot tall woman wearing a white toga, with a bright orb in her right hand and a dark arb in the other. All i could think was 'oh sod its Azura.' Twilight sparkle was organizing a new shipment of books.She distictly told Spike to be at home before the new books came so she wouldn't have to sort and organize by herself, but the baby drake is nowhere to be seen.'Oh he is not getting any rubies today' she thought as she continued to organize the new books, placing them on the shelves with her magic. Spike walked into the the library, carrying a bag on his back. Twilight turned to him with a annoyed look on her face."Spike i thought i told you to be back here 5 minutes ago!" Spike took the bag and placed it on the table. "Sorry Twi, Pinkie said she made a new treat and wanted me to taste test it" said spike as he reached into the bag. "Well what was so great about this treat that you had to b-what is that?" she said as she stared at what Spike had in his hand. Spike had in his hand a tube of dough that was toped off with frosting." I think she called it a sweet roll" Spike said as he took a bite. " Wait if thats dough, why were you handling the bag like that, and how is that still soft?" she asked as Spike finished the pastry." I dont know Twi but- BURP".A scroll of paper erupted from spikes flame and landed on the ground."oooh a new letter!"Twilght said as she picked up and open the letter with her magic. Dear my faithful student twilight, This letter is a warning, I sense a new creature coming into equestria. I dont know if it means good or ill especially with all the sudden dragon attacks. You and all of the elements be on your guard but when and if you see this creature DONT attack. I will come to speak to you when I can figure it out where it has appeared. Good luck my little ponies -Celestia "Spike! We need to get everyone over here and figure how to handle this" Twilight yelled as she droped the letter and ran out the door with Spike. "Hello lady azura" I said calmly as I could. In truth I was only a tiny bit afraid of the daedra. After facing 40 lesser dragons and a dragon that could have eaten my very soul nothing could surprise me. She wore no expression as she started to speak. "Hello Dragonborn, I noticed you have changed my star. You, a mere mortal,have changed my artifact for eternity. That is a feat that must be rewarded" I smiled to this news 'oh thank Talos I thought she was gonna...' "BUT the way you changed it, bounding a soul permanently to the star, for that you must be punished" said Azura as she started walking towards me.At this point I was at the side of the bridge, the waterfall below me. I had no qualms with death. I saved the college, ended a war, SAVED SOVNGARDE and ended a grudge. I was fine with Death." Don't fret Dragonborn I would not kill you. But I will however banish you to another dimention.There you shall test the capabilties of my new sword. Say hello to the sun raiser for me when you meet her." And with that she kicked, yes KICKED,me in the chest over the edge of the bridge. I turned around midair only to see a a glowing black glowing portal. As I was hurling towards a black hole I did what any normal person would...i screamed. "AAAAAAHHHHHHHH-" My screaming only ended when I pasted through the portal and into the unknown.
