Chapter 1: Mr.whateveryouare

     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."

  "Fluttershy----er, Dragonshy. I shall give you your first word of power. Did I mention that each Dragon shout contains three words? I know I didn't. Your first word is 'Fus', the first word of the Unrelenting Force shout."

  Talos motioned his hands so they were spread torwards the stone floor. Fluttershy then heard whispering of strange words. More of the dragons' strange language, she supposed.

      Three lines appeared on the floor of the cave. Their edges were rough and jagged, almost as if they'd been clawed there by some massive being. An odd, ethreal glow surrounded them, its blue light pressing at Fluttershy's eyes. She found that if she looked too long, it made her dizzy and blurred her sight. 'Is that the dragon language?' Fluttershy wondered as the odd symbols formed in the ground.

"W-what do I do now?" Fluttershy asked the spirit.

"Stare at the words, of course." Talos waved a hand at the lines, his tone making it sound as though it should have been obvious

"Oh..okay..." The cream colored mare said very nervously. She hesatated for a moment.

"By the other eight Divines, would you please hurry up? I haven't got all day---er, night----no day!" Talos pointed outside the cave.

   It was, indeed, dawn. Well, you know what they say. Night sure does go by quickly when you spend your time with ghosts repeatetly shouting, "THE DRAGONS HAVE RETURNED" in a  spooky cave. Wait, no, they don't say that. But I do.

  "Fluttershy! Where the hay is that pony?" Rainbow Dash yelled. Probably taking care of her animals or something.

" As much as ah would hate tu admit it, ah don't think Fluttershy is here, sugarcube."

"You're probably right, AJ, but where ever she is, let's just hope she didn't forget Pinkie's party."

    As Fluttershy settled down, she focused on nothing but the strange writing on the floor. Her vision became distorted, but she was feeling something she never before felt. It felt like power. Growing power, deep inside her very soul. Her vision then restored and the glow on the words dissapeared.

  Fluttershy inhaled, then exhaled. She didn't feel tired from last night's lack of sleep anymore. The power somehow 'restored' her.

  "How do you feel?" Talos questioned.

"Alright. Good. Ok, I feel wondorful. I feel like I'm brand new."

"Great. Now to unlock that power, all you need to do is slay a dragon." Talos said with a smile.

"But-but-but---"

"No 'buts', you're going to slay a dragon and you're going to like it. Oh, yeah, and you need to absorb its soul."

  That made Fluttershy feel even worse. Killing an innocent creature? Ok, well, maybe not innocent, but still. She could'nt do it. After all her time spent with animals, she couldn't bear to see one killed. Even if not an animal. Or if she didn't commit the act. Just the sight of a dead creature made Fluttershy want to cry.

"...Fine."

Talos gasped. She finally understood the importance of being dragonborn.

"....you can kill it, and  I'll absorb its soul  with my eyes closed."

Talos facepalmed. She still wasn't ready. Looks like they were going to do it the hard way.

"Look Applejack, hoofprints! Do you think they can be from Fluttershy?"

"Ah honestly doubt it, but ah guess we can try and follow them."

   The two mares followed the hoofprints, leading into a familiar place. The Everfree Forest.

"Um, Rainbow, ah don't know 'bout this."

"Oh, come on, we can take those monsters."

"Remember what happened last time we went in here?"

Rainbow Dash thought for a moment.

"Well, those baddies were not so tough, and plus Nightmare Moon was set loose."

"Plus we had friends along. And tu me, ah don't think Nightmare Moon increased the dangers of the forest itself. But, ah'm not exactly sure it's another pony's hoofprints, so let's go."

"Awhhh Yeaahhh!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

   Yep. They were in for a real adventure.

SugarCube Corner

"I wonder what's taking Applejack and Rainbowdash so long. They should have found Fluttershy by now." Twilight Sparkle wondered.

"Oooh! Oooh! Maybe they went to get more punch!" Pinkie Pie chirped, bouncing in front of Twilight.

"I highly doubt it Pinkie. They would tell us if they were." Twilight said.

"Oh no..." Rarity pouted.

"What's wrong Rarity?" Twilight asked.

"I think I might know what might have happened to Fluttershy." She responded. "Last night Sweetie Belle and her friends snuck off to Fluttershy's cottage, so I caught her and brought her home. On my way to Fluttershy I overheard her saying that a chicken escaped. It probably went into the forest, and you all know how Fluttershy is about her animals. I'm sorry I didn't tell you all earlier," Rarity said in a guilty tone.

"It's not your fault Rarity," Twilight comforted.

"Yeah! We still love ya!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Yes...thank you all, but let's just hope she is alright.

" Is anyone---or any-pony," he giggled, "you know tough?" Talos asked.

"Well, the toughest ponies I know are Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Why?"

"Oh, you'll find out." The spirit said with a grin.

"Knock Knock."

"Enough, yuv told that joke more than fifteen tahms!"

"Aww come on! Just one more time!"

Applejack sighed. "Fine, who's there?"

"Mary."

"Mary who?"

"Mary yourself!! AHAHAHAHAH!"

Applejack chuckled at Rainbowdash's failed attempt to keep them entertained while in the forest.

"These hoofprints seem to go on foreeevvveerrr." Rainbow said a little dramaticly.

"Just keep your cool sugar, and ah'm sure we'll find where ever the hay Fluttershy has wondered off to."

"Hey! I found a cave! And these hoofprints lead right into it!"

"Well ah'll be! Follow those hoofprints!" The orange pony commanded.

   And so they sprinted deep into the woods, still keeping track of the mysterious hoofprints. But little did they know about what they were about to find.

"Um, Talos, do you hear hoofsteps?"

"Hoof---steps? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! But yes, I do," Talos casually said.

   The sounds started getting louder and louder, until they reached the end of the cave.

A bit earlier

"We reached the cave!" Applejack exclaimed.

"Yeah, and look at those torches! Maybe Fluttershy placed them," Rainbow Dash pointed.

  The two mares scurried into the cave, ignoring the useful lighting. They just straight ran, avoiding sharp rocks and steep ditches. 'Weird cave,' Rainbow Dash thought.

    Yup, they just did that, until they reached the end of the cave.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack ran straight into Fluttershy, not noticing the ghastly human above.

"Oh, hello!" Said Fluttershy.

"Oh Fluttershy! Thank Celestia yur here!" Applejack cried.

"Yeah! What are you doing out here? Everypony else is waiting!" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Oh no! I forgot Pinkie's party oh pleeeeease tell her I'm sorry," Fluttershy begged, "and what was I doing? It's a long story."

"So, are these the two ponies you were talking about, Dragonshy?" Talos interuppted the reunion.

RD and AJ looked up, only to find a big ghastly spirit floating.

"What in tarnation is that?" Applejack yelled out as her voice echoed through the cave.

Rainbow Dash, on the other hand, didn't feel like questions were needed. She knew one thing: Whatever this thing was, it needed to learn a lesson, and it was going to eat Fluttershy. No wait, that's two things. Whatever.

Rainbow took off at amazing speed, circiling the creature, then stopping to kick it in the chest.

*CLANK*

The creature looked amused. "Seriously? You think your kicks can hurt me? Well my akavari armor won't even BUDGE. Even if I had it off, I'm sure it wouldn't make a difference. I mean, I've seen bandits who can strike harder than you," Talos smirked.

"What, you afraid you big monster? You had better leave Fluttershy alone or else!"

"Or else what?" Talos was begining to unsheath his blade.

"Or else--"

"Um, Rainbowdash?" Fluttershy interuppted.

Rainbow Dash turned to Fluttershy for a second.

"Get out Fluttershy! Before it takes you!" Rainbow commanded.

"Um actually, Talos here is my friend."

"Talos? Friend?" RD and AJ said suprised.

  Yes sir, this was going to be a looooong journey.

"Oh yes," Fluttershy said as if Talos were an animal, "he may look scary, but he is actually really nice."

"What?! I'm sorry Fluttershy, but just look at him. What is he anyways?" Rainbow Dash questioned and flew down.

"He is a human," Fluttershy answered.

""Wasn't Lyra just making that darn thang up?" Applejack asked.

"Well, I seemed to believe so too, but humans like Talos are real. Even if he's just a ghost," said the kind-hearted mare.

     Of course she didn't mention any of the slaying part to her friends. This was Equestria, not this Nirn. It did indeed sound like a horrible place to live in, with all the constant fighting. No need for that.

"Wait, what?" Talos turned to Fluttershy briefly.

      He didn't find any of the conversation interesting so he was just fiddling with the torches. Don't blame him.

"Nevermind. No, nevermind that I said nevermind. Why did you ask me about the toughest ponies I know?" Fluttershy wanted an answer. She was calm, like she usually is.

"Cause um...isn't Rainbow Dash the anoyinng one with the weird hair?" Talos wondered and scratched his ethreal head.

"Hey!" Rainbow Dash yelled all the way over to Talos.

"Mr. Talos, that wasn't very nice. What do you say?"

"Are you seriously expecting me to apoligize? You're treating me like a child!" He outragously said as if it was the most ridiculious thing he had heard all day.

  Fluttershy then proceeded to use her 'stare', which she used on animals if they didn't want to do what she told them more then once. Noone knew why this stare took affect upon the little creatures, but it sure did work.

   "Umm...what are you trying to do?" Talos asked confused. Was it something about his face? Did he have smudges of the honey treat he had before commencing to the Dovakiin on his face? Or was it his armor? Now that he thought about it, it did look a little weird. Not to mention its name. 'Akavari'. What type of word was that? Who made it up? Was it that daedra Sithis? No, Sithis isn't a daedra. Was he---?

    Fluttershy kept staring until she noticed that she was getting no where. Talos just kept staring akwardly at the ceiling. Suddenly, Fluttershy just broke the silence.

  "Um, Talos? Talos? Talos?" Fluttershy kept on asking. Applejack and Rainbow Dash just sighed.

"Well, it was fun staying with this Talos guy, but whaddya say we go over to Pinkies Party?" Rainbow Dash eagerly asked. She didn't want to upset any of her friends and keep them waiting. Neither did Applejack.

"WAIT!" Talos suddenly screamed.

"Rainbow Kash," Talos turned over to the speedy mare.

"It's Rainbow DASH," she angirly corrected him getting in his face.

"Yes, yes, whatever Dainbow Rash, show your friend here how to fight," Talos ordered in a commanding voice. But he really doubted this cyan pony was going to be any help. She delievered the weakest kick he recieved in years.

"Wait, you talking about Applejack?" Rainbow Dash sarcasticly said.

"Uggh, just get on with it, sugarcube."

"Fiiine," she said being overly ignorant.

       "Ok, Shy, first thing you have to do is learn how to strike down. Watch and learn from the master."

'Master'? Talos thought. 'This won't end well'.

  Rainbow Dash got in a defensive position, stood on her hind legs and brought her forelegs forward back and forth, so she was punching. She then proceeded to fly over to her right, do a 360 spin, and kick below her.

"There, first lesson from the master," she bragged. "Now you try."

"No, no, no! This is getting no where. Fellidr! Come over here!"

   Suddenly,  a foggy mist seemingly appeared out of nowhere. This time, a spirit simalir to Talos, began to form. When the second human was now visible, the trio of ponies took a quick survey of him. ' Long gray hair, strange looking clothing/armor, and a long weapon seeming to be stuck on its back.

"What do you want now, Talos?" Fellidr rolled his eyes. "I was just about to try the new mead, but you had to summon me."

"I promise it will be quick,  Fellidr," he swore, "Just give this cream pony a dragon soul would, you?" Talos pleaded.

"Fine," Fellidr said. He motioned his arms torwards his chest then spread them. A white spiral seemed to burst out of his chest, then drive itself into Fluttershy's body.

"Wha--what's haaapening?" The shy pegasus worridly asked.

"Don't worry, Fellidr here is just giving you a dragon soul."

"What?!" Fluttershy asked suprised. "No, no, stop it!"

   It was too late. She had already absorbed the soul. Just like she did with the words she read, she felt power.

"Well, if you'll excuse me, I have some mead to drink." And with that, ol' Fellidr's soul began to fade away and vanish.

     'That old man can be a little negative sometimes', Talos thought.   "Dragonshy, are you ready?"

"Dragonshy? Beg yur pardon, but this mare's name is Fluttershy," Applejack corrected. 'What is up with him and names', she thought.

"I'm sorry, but your friend here is dragonborn so she must be refered to as Dragonshy. All of you."

"Dragonborn? Huh, this guy really is crazy," Rainbow Dash started circiling her hovves around her head.

"Silence! Dovakiin, walk to your friend Saints row Dash."

"IT. IS. RAINBOW DASH," she corrected him for the last time. Her face was red hot.

"Oh...uh...alright," Fluttershy nervously said. She slowly walked up to the one that dashes with rainbows.

"Now, use your unrelenting force shout to blow Rainbow Dash away," he grinned.

"What?!" The cyan pony screamed. Her being blown away? No. She wasn't going to let some hairless gorilla beat her.

"Why me?" She shouted and slammed her hooves on the ground.

"Why do you think?" The spirit grumbled, then shrugged.

"But Rainbow Dash, I thought you were the toughest pony in all of Equestria," Fluttershy reminded Rainbow Dash. Was Rainbow Dash lying when she said that? She sure hoped not.

"Wh-whaaat?" Rainbow Dash said nervously as if Futtershy was a little dumb. She grinned supisiously.

"Of course I am, Fluttershy!" She bragged. "It won't hurt. Try me."

"Great. Fluttershy, say 'fus'."

"Fus?? Don't ya mean food?" Applejack said with a strange expression.

   Rainbow Dash waited for the worst to come. She held her breath tightly and closed her eyes. This won't end well. Fluttershy took a few steps back, breathed in a great amount of air, and---

"fus"

  Rainbow Dash revealed one eye. "Wow. That was----not what I expected," she said amazed that she wasn't launched into a nearby wall.

"Tell her to do it louder," Talos commanded.

"Fine," she said with an unhappy tone. She had enough of this. Anything to go to Pinkie's party.

"C'mon Fluttershy. Louder. I know you can do it," the cyan pegasus encoraged. She smiled brightly.

      Fluttershy repeated the same process as before, and-----

"fus"

"Louder."

"fus

"Louder," she said growing impatient.

"fus"

"LOUDER!" She was getting tired and annoyed already.

"fus"

"LOUDEEERRRR!"

"FUS!!]"

    Rainbow Dash was pushed back by amazing force somehow. Was it just Fluttershy saying that dumb word? She wondered.

   She landed uncomfortably, stomache flat to the ceiling.

"Rainbow! Are you okay, sugarcube?" Applejack asked worridly.

"Oh no! Rainbow Dash! I'm so sorry! I didn't know!" Fluttershy begged to forgive her.

"It--it's alright guys. Just a few cuts."

  Applejack then angirly turned to Talos.

"How dare you! Why did you make Fluttershy do such a horrible thang?" She questioned.

"Dragonshy needs to learn her importance to Nirn. She will use the Th'um to slay Alduin." He casually answered.

"And stop callin' her that strange name!" The orange earth pony told Talos.

   Of course, Talos ignored her. He turned to Fluttershy.

"I must go back to Sovngarde. I really do want to try that new mead Fellidr was talking about anyways. Take this war axe. Learn how to use it."  He gently munted the war axe on a nearby rock. Fluttershy inspected it: long, wooden handle. tiny blade. Iron. Blade looks like a cresent moon.

  Fluttershy slowly moved her hoof so it could hold the war axe, but Talos blocked her.

"Before you can take your weapon, repeat after me. 'This is my war axe.'"

"This is my war axe."

"There are many like it, but this one is mine."

"There are many like it, but this one is mine." Fluttershy mimicked.

"Good. I will leave you the portal to Skyrim."

    He took out a bronze staff with a white orb at the top. He waved it around, then pointed it torwards the floor. The portal was huge, swiriling around with a ghastly feeling when you would get close to it. Fluttershy found that it also had a little burning sensation in the air around it.

"See you---hopefully," and so Talos dissapeared just like Fellidr did.

"Well whadya know a cave!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. Twilight, Pinkie, and Rarity thought that Rainbow Dash and Applejack could be in trouble along with Fluttershy. When they checke dthe cottage, they found nothing. Pinkie also quickly fed the animals.

      They then found hoofprints leading to the Fverfree Forest. They ventured aware of their surrondings. And they had went into the cave.

  Meanwhile, Fluttershy was telling RD and AJ everything Talos told her about Nirn. They were amazed and dreaded, and decided to find the rest of the mane 6.

     They all ran, but they ran into something. No somethings. Soft. Furry. It's---

    "GUYS!" Rainbow Dash yelled. She and the other two ponies reunited with the rest of the group.

"Applejack!" screamed Rarity.

"Rainbow Dash!" yelled Twilight.

"FLUTTERSHYYYYYYY!" Pinkie bounced up and tackle huged Fluttershy.

"Wow. We're finally all here," said Twilight happily.

"Sorry that took so long. There were a cuple of suprises," said Rainbow.

"Oooh! Oooh! Suprises?! I love suprises! Like what??" Asked Pinkie.

"You don't want to know.." laughed Rainbow.

"Aaawwwww," sighed the pink party pony.

"Well, I'm sure it's been fun, but let's just go to Pinkies----"

"Umm...excuse me Twilight?" asked Fluttershy nervously.

"Yes Fluttershy?"

"Look around you."

  Twilight wondered why Fluttershy would say that, but soon she began to notice everything.

"A giagantic portal? Cuts and bruises on Rainbow Dash. An axe on the floor?! Can somepony please tell me what's going on here!" Twilight said startled."

  And so Fluttershy, again, explained to the other three ponies about, Alduin, Skyrim, and other things that happened earlier.

"Wow...I never knew there were such brutes in existance," said Rarity disgusted. She looked like when the time she accedentaly made a dress the wrong color.Which is basically looking like you're going to vomit.

"And I never knew anypony could be so violent." said the magical lavender pony.

"Well, we all have to go. Let's hope nothing bad happes." Rarity gulped.

"Wait! I need to feed my animals." said Fluttershy relieved she wouldn't have to go.

"Already fed them. You can thank me later," Pinkie told Fluttershy.

"Oh, uh..." Fluttershy didn't know what to say. Instead she just tried to position the war axe comfortably in her hoofs. It didn't work. Looks like she was going to have to carry it with her mouth. Suprisingly, it wasn't as heavy as she expected it to be.

  "Ughkhh gogay," croaked Fluttershy with her mouth full.

"Dear, don't put that in your mouth, who knows where it's----nevermind."

    And so, the Mane 6 jumped into the portal. Who knows what they might see?

  Who knows???
