The Elder Scrolls V: Equestria

     It was a dark and moody night in Equestria. Everything was quiet. Fluttershy was sleeping soundly in her cottage filled with animals. She suddenly awoke from a noise. Fluttershy jumped a little. "What was that?" She said to herself. She wearily got out of bed and looked outside the window. She made out two faint objects. One a giant marshmellow with lavender & peach streamers, and the other one was a chicken. As she  inspected more carefully she realized it was Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.

     "Girls," Fluttershy quietly called out. No answer. Oh of course, she was indoors. They couldn't hear her. Fluttershy walked outside into the chilly air and said again, "Girls." Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo quickly turned. "Hiya Fluttershy!"

Sweetie squeked. "Hey, Fluttershy," Scootaloo said.

"What are you doing out here this late?"

Fluttershy questioned. She wasn't angry. She was just wondering.

"We thought we could get our cutie marks if we entertained a chicken!"  Sweetie replied.

"Yeah, but the Chickens still don't want to catch the footballs we throw in the pen," said Scootaloo.

   "Um, I think it's best if you two go back home, uh, if that's ok with you fillies..."

"Oh, come on Fluttershy. How often does somepony get to see a chicken juggle footballs?"

Scootaloo asked eagerly. "Oh um, I don't--," Fluttershy was interuppted by the sound of a gate loudly opening.

"If only Applebloom wasn't sick, then she would see all the fun," Sweetie Belle sighed sadly. But no matter. Everypony knows by now the Cutie Mark Crusaders would stop at NOTHING to get their cutie marks.

  As Sweetie and Scoots silently entered the wooden pen of sleeping creatures, they were stopped by Fluttershy. "Um, girls, I don't think this is such a good idea."

"Lighten up, Shy, it'll be amazing!" Scootaloo whispered. Almost immediatly the two children started imitating chickens

.

"Bwaaaabwabwabwabwabwaaak,"

Sweetie screeched as Scootaloo waved her hooves in Sweeties face.

"That's not how you do it! Watch and learn," Scootaloo retorted. The orange filly squated in a bi-pedal position and started trotting around yelling, "BWAAAAAKBWWAWAWKBWAKBWAK!!"

"Wow Scoots, you're amazing!" Sweetie exclaimed. "Um, Girls." "BWAKEEBWOAAK." "Girls." Fluttershy siad louder this time. "BWWWAWAWAKAKWABWAAK." "Girls!" Fluttershy was almost screaming. "AWOOOGA" "GIRLS." The two fillies quickly turned before Fluttershy was able to finish her sentence.

   "Um.." Fluttershy peeped. "One of the chickens got away..."

" WHAT?! Now how are we going to get our cutie marks? We need ALL the chickens to be entertained."

Mumbled Sweetie Belle. Then Fluttershy closed the gates so no more chickens could escape. "I'm going to go home," Scootaloo remarked. "Seeya Sweetie Belle." With that, Scootaloo marched off, depressed that the CMC were still "blank flanks."

     "SWEETIE BELLE!!" A feminine voice called out. A mare with a coat as pale as a vampire and a styled purple mane came rushing to the scene.

"Sweetie Belle!!!!"

"Uh oh," cried Sweetie Belle. The mare turned out to be Rarity, the fancy fashion designer obsessed with royalty.

    "Sweetie Belle, care to EXPLAIN?!"

Rarity angerly yelled between her teeth.

"I um, I--,"

"I've had enough of this nonsense! Yesterday you covered my bedroom in paint, and now you're--doing whatever you're doing!"

"I'm sorry Rarity,"

Sweetie said with a guilty tone.

"Come, we need to get you home."

"Fine," she rebelliously said. Rarity then faced Fluttershy.

"Oh I'm so so sorry, Sweetie and her friends just get carried away too much."

"Oh, um...it's alright...you should probably go home now...I think..."

"All is well, Fluttershy," Rarity happily said. And so, Rarity trotted home while Sweetie Belle stomped all the way behind her.

     Great, now Fluttershy had to go and find her chicken. So she checked in her cottage. Nothing there. "Maybe she went back into the pin," Fluttershy said quietly to herself. She checked and maked sure she didn't wake any chickens. Still nothing. That could only mean one thing. "T-the Everfr-ee Foressstt..." Fluttershy peeped. "So what?" a voice in her head told her. "You've been in the Everfree Forest before. More than once actually. Plus you tamed the monsters there!" "You're right," She told the voice. Then she just felt silly for doing that. She was now ready to go into the forest. (or so she thought)

   The Forest was even scarier in the night than in the day. "Good, it looks like I'm halfway there...I hope," Fluttershy gulped. How much longer? It had been only four minutes and it already felt like an eternity. "AH! IS THAT SLENDERMANE?!?!" She scurried behind a rock and checked. "Oh, it's just a tree branch..." Fluttershy laughed at her paranoia. Not something to laugh at.

   BWAAABWABWABWABWAK

Fluttershy gasped. "Beatrice, are you here?"

   BWABAAWK

Fluttershy paused for a moment to make out where the sound was coming form...

"From that cave! I'm coming Beatrice, just hold on!" She quietly exclaimed. Now she could finally relax and get some sleep. It was, in fact, getting late.

    "There we are!" She finally reached the cave. It was grayish and very dome shaped. Rocks everywhere, it almost looks like it was painted. She didn't stop for a moment, not even thinking about what could be dwelling inside. Suprisingly and oddly the cave was lit with torches. But Fluttershy didn't care how strange it was. All she wanted right now was her chicken. She kept running until she reached a dead end. "Nothing here. I was sure I heard noises coming out of here. Or maybe I was just hearing things..." But she wasn't hearing things. No sir, there was something there. As she tried to exit, she noticed something. (other than the torches) She couldn't move. "Whaaa..?" She was stuck. "Oh no oh no oh no...." She started to tear up. Then it happened. The black swirl of mist came into view, and transformed into a strange bi-pedal creature floating, and seeming to be transparent.

     The creature  had a smudgy little beared, looking like popcorn. It seemed to have no fur on it's coat, telling by it's arms and face. It had two small eyes as dark as the moonlight. Also , it had very strange olive armor covering it's chest and legs. And last, he carried a greatsword that looked like it was made from pure steel.

Fluttershy slowly looked up. "It--it--it's a PHANTOM MONSTER!!! HEEELLLLPPP!!!" The creature looked confused. This isn't what the prophecy said. The Dovakiin wasn't supposed to be afraid.

    The creature decided to speak up. "Um..Hello there Fluttershy?" She stopped sobbing. What? How did this--thing know her name? And it could speak--Equestrian?  "Uh, Fluttershy, everyone is waiting for you." There was a long silence. Fluttershy thought for a bit. It didn't seem to want to hurt her. Is it friendly? Suddenly she mustered the courage to speak up, and broke the silence.

"Um...don't you mean 'everypony'?"

"What?" the creature asked. "Every---pony?!? AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!" It spoke in a very deep voice. And that made it's laughter sound like some sort of engine.

"Um Mr.--whateveryouare, what is so funny?" She calmly asked. But the creature kept on laughing. "AAaahoheehoha, oohh I haven't laughed like that in years! Good one, Dovakiin!

Dovakiin? Fluttershy was startled by this strange word. "Uhh, what exactly is a 'Doo-vu-keen'?

"HAHA--" the being stopped laughing.

"What? You, of all people, don't know what a dovakiin is?"

Fluttershy shook her head.

"YOU are a dovakiin!"

"Umm..is that a good thing?"

"Good thing? GOOD THING?"

Fluttershy was scared for a moment by his sudden outburst.

"By the gods, of course it is! I expected you to know this. Wait--do you know--ANYTHING about what I'm talking about? Why I'm here? Why you're here?"

Again, she shook her head.

   "But I have a few questions first."

"Well make it quick, I don't have much time before I am brought back to Sovngarde." Sovngarde? This truly was a weird being.

"Umm..if my chicken wasn't here, then how come I heard chicken sounds?" Fluttershy questioned. "Simple. I make those sounds." He answered.

"Wow, you are a good chicken imitator then." (compared to Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle)

"Second question. Can you please return my chicken back home then?"

"Already did."

"Wow! And, uh, can you unfreeze me?

If that's ok with you..."

"You promise not to run away?"

"I promise."

"Ok then."

In his hand, a navy orb appeared and began swirling around. "Uhhh...is this going to hurt?" She asked worried. "Not at all," and he hurled the orb at her and she became free. Fluttershy moved her legs a bit. It felt good to move once more.

        "Let me tell you everything I know. But first, have you ever heard of the species, 'Human'?

"Oh yes! I remember! Those are the things Lyra Heartstrings keeps talking about! Is that what you are? A human?"

"Yes, but I died, and now I am just a spirit," He said sadly.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."

"Don't say sorry. Death for the Empire is a glorius thing."

"The Crystal Empire? Did King Sombra do something to you?"

"Kig Sombra? Crystal Empire? Now I'm the one asking questions."

"Anyways, Humans live on a planet called Nirn. On Nirn there are many evil demons and creatures, so it's not exactly the best place to live. Our planet is not as techknowledgeckley advanced as your's, but we don't care that much. There are friendly races other than Humans, like Argonians, Orcs, High Elves, and others. Any questions?"

   "Only two. What do your kind and other races like to eat?"

"Well we eat leeks, tomatos, cabbage,"

and that's when it struck her

", fish, steak,--"

"WHAT?" The human stopped.

"Was it something I said?" He asked, confused.

"You turn poor little animals into food?!"

"YES?! I'M SORRY BUT YOUR JUST GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT!!!"

"Oh...I'm sorry, it's just that nothing ecept dragons, griffons, and predators eat meat here."

"It's ok. And what was your 2nd question?"

"Oh yes, how do you tame the evil creatures you talk about?"

"Well some can be tamed, but others require slaying."

"WHAT?! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO A CREATURE?! EVEN IF IT'S AGGRESIVE?!"

"NO OTHER THING WORKS! IT'S OUR ONLY OPTION!"

"Oh...sorry again."

"Yes, yes, it's ok. Now. So lets move onto the next subject. Weapons."

"eep"

Fluttershy wasn't going to like this part at all.

"Do you see this giagantic blade on my back?"

"Um...yesgh

"What was that?"

"yeesh"

"Speak now."

"Yes..."

"Good. This is a greatsword, forged from steel. There are also regular swords, a lot smaller, but I prefer this one."

    The human carefully unsheathed his giagantic blade. It was twice the size of anypony, had two pointed edges around the greatsword. There was also leather covering some of it up. It was really light gray, but looked black in the dark.

(There were no torches in the back of the cave)

"There are many types of weapons. There are seven types in all. Three are two-handed, and the other four are one-handed. This greatsword, is obviously, two-handed."

   Fluttershy felt sick just from hearing this. What horrible things could they do to one another, even if they are different species. She started to tear up again.

"Oh, gods, not again. Look Fluttershy, what types of weapons do they have here?"

"I-I thi-ink onlllly sp-pears."

"Spears? What sourcery is this? What milk-drinkers carry around that sorry excuse for a weapon?"

"O-only theee Roy-yal Gaurdss."

"Royal Gaurds? Meh, just by telling from the name, the Hold Gaurds sound better than these Forsworn scum."

Fluttershy started to calm down.

"I guess you don't want to hear about the weapons, do you.?"

Fluttershy shook her head. She was still sobbing a little.

"Fine, I'll explain it to you like this: sword, mace, war axe, dagger, greatsword, battleaxe, war hammer, magic."

Magic? The magic used in Equestria was used for everyday things. She couldn't imagine what they did with magic over in this Nirn. No, really. She couldn't imagine.

"Next up, locations."

Fluttershya sighed in relief. Nothing violent involved.

" I live in Tamriel, the place you'll be going. Skyrim is a place with hardy men and woman who work, very resistant to the harsh weather. They call themselves 'Nords'. To the east of Skyrim lies Morrowind, a place where these 'Dunmer,' or Dark Elves live. Cyrodiil is south of Skyrim, which is the capital of Tamriel and the home of the Empire, which I founded," He said with a smirk, bragging about this like Rainbow Dash brags about her moves.

"Then there is Hammerfell to the southwest of Skyrim, home of the Redgaurds. And last, there is High Rock to the west, home of the Brentons. I sure would like to further discuss this but we must now move on to the more important subject.

"The meaning of 'dovakiin' is 'dragonborn.'

   It translates from the Dragon Language. A dovakiin is a mortal (since dragons are immortal) it is born with the soul of a dragon, having the power to absorb a dragons soul when slayed. A dovakiin is extreamly rare, and also has the power to use Th'um, or, Dragon Shouts. These shouts  release special powers like, fire breath, superspeed, thunderstorms."

The superspeed reminded Fluttershy of Rainbow Dash. "Dragons, obviously, use these shouts too. Dragons are not very big, have their own launguage and writing."

      Fluttershy was shocked by this. SHE, out of all ponies, was part dragon? "But, uhhh, what's is your name?"

"Talos."

"But Talos, last time I saw a dragon it didn't attack very much, was large, and spoke Equestrian."

"That's because your dragons are different than the REAL dragons. And we call 'Equestrian' 'English'.

   "Your destiny as dragonborn means you must slay the evil dragon Alduin. Now, dragons were not always around Nirn or the region I live in, Tamriel, but when they were, Alduin became lost in time, with the power of an Elder Scroll. But he found a way into the 4th era and is now bringing his dragons to fight. Only the Dovakiin can slay him. And that is you."
