The Wonders of Skyrim

"No, not yet." Twilight replied.

I looked over at the assembled ponies, all except one was deathly silent. Pinkie still jumping around hit me two more times before I could even dodge. It was by me levitating her (nearly ran outta magicka at that point) with telekinesis to the group of ponies. "There is some stuff I want to know about your world." Twilight said rather enthusiastically. I just gave her a blank look, she continued, "Like maybe some history, and beliefs?" I just shook my head, "The history in my world, well, lets just say, its very brutal violent," I noticed the look on Twilight's face and said, "But there are some good and peaceful times."

As soon as I said this, a shadow loomed over the building, Fluttershy squeaked and dove under Rarity again. My ears picked up a sound of leather against leather, the rustling of leaves and the sound of a... dragon. My mouth gaped as I realized that a dragon was in Equestria! "Twilight, get your friends and yourself to a fireproof place!" As I said this I ran out the door to a beautiful red serpentine creature aloft flying around the town, it screamed at the residents as they scrambled to safety. My hand reached for my bow, I notched an arrow and fired 5 in quick succession only 2 hit, one in the abdomen the other in the left wing.

The dragon screamed in pain and zeroed in on me, it went into a quick dive spewing flames at me, (luckily it didn't hit the tree where the ponies were hiding) I ran out into the field near Twilight's house trying to lure it away from the village. This time it landed, and it stared at me with its yellow reptilian eyes. I set up a ward as it fired another bout of flames and singing the grass. I lunged forward and sliced at its maw, barely missing its eyes. It shouted, "Fus!" I managed to catch myself before I fell over. This time it jumped, I had mere seconds before it snacked on my body, I rolled to the right, feeling its maw where I was a second ago. I summoned a familiar which instantly attacked the dragon, the ghost wolf leaped and tore the dragons wing only to be crushed by its leg.

I jumped on the dragons head, I sliced at its eye, it reared and I nearly flew off, it lifted off with my body still dangling off of one of its scales, I felt a piercing pain somewhere on my body, angered at this, I jabbed my sword through its wounded eye, the momentum giving it enough force to slice through its brain, instantly killing it, it never even got the chance to scream in anguish as we started plummeting towards the ground. I used my Alteration spell of ironskin and hoped it would be enough to keep me alive. I flew through the air when the dragon hit the ground, jarring my head. I landed on my back, I arose and a few ponies were watching in awe, the dragon started to dissipate, its knowledge seemed happy to be meeting a new master.

My body gave off a brilliant light as I sucked in the dragon's power and knowledge. Twilight ran up to me, "Wow, that was amazing! How did you even survive the fall?" As she said that a blue light emanated from my body letting me know that the ironskin spell was wearing off. A ton of ponies came running over, cheering wanted to see who their savior was. "And, that is how you slay a dragon." I said a little dizzy, I reached up to my head and felt something warm and sticky, I looked at my hand to see Twilight gasp, my hand was covered in my blood. I fell to the ground enveloped in a blanket of darkness.

I groaned, I couldn't open my right eye, I felt pain, deep crude pain in my right eye, like someone had driven a nail into my head with a hammer and they were trying to dislodge it. I looked around with my left eye, I was on a bed, the room around me smelled of cleaner, the white wallpaper looked sinister, there was medical equipment everywhere, and it was then I had noticed a screen that was beeping and seemed to show my heart rate, (how did they know where my heart was? Nevermind) I remembered what happened as my senses came rushing back.

Wait, what happened to my head? I felt up and my hand touched soft fabric, I jumped as a pony walked in with a lab coat, my voice sounded raspier then it usually was, "Hello doctor, is there any chance a pony named Twilight is out there?" The doctor seemed a bit scared as he saw that I was awake, "Erm... Yes, there is a pony named Twilight Sparkle in the waiting room, along with 5 other ponies." I looked at him, 5 other ponies? I thought it was just 4? "Doctor, what happened to my eye?" I asked him, he gave me a sad look, "Sorry to say, but it appears you are going to be blind in that eye for the rest of your life." I just looked him an unamused expression abroad my face, I reached into my magical abilities, choosing a dual handed very powerful and magicka consuming spell, I began to use it, the doctor just stared at me as he saw 2 balls of light in either of my hands. As I finished my body was consumed in light, I cut the bandage with my claws, the doctor gasped as he saw the medical phenomenon occur, my eye was healed, but not completely, I could only see so far before things got blurry.

The cuts that were on my forehead were healed, my body felt fatigue starting to take over, but I wouldn't give in just yet I had some ponies to meet, I noticed I still had the cord attached to my chest, I gently took it off and stood up, feeling instant nausea I sat back down gasping as my head spun, "Um, need any help?" I remembered the doctor was there and checked for my bag, only to find it on the ground near the door along with my weapons. "Can I get my bag and gear?" He just nodded and brought it over using his mouth. I wiped away his saliva, I still had my nightingale armor on, it was still in perfect condition (it never seemed to deteriorate), I shakily took out a bottle of vigor and drank it greedily. The doctor cocked his head and asked, "What's that?" I responded in kind, "A stamina potion, does what it says." He seemed interested, "May I have one and the recipe?" I asked for a quill and paper for which is brought quickly, I wrote down.

I finished the list and said, "Any combination of these should get you the same effects of the potion you are holding right now." He nodded and helped me get up, after I was able to walk on my own I walked through the hall towards the waiting room, which was brightly furnished with chairs that had flower design on them. As I walked into the room I was greeted with cheers from the five I called friends and a death glare from the one I didn't know, she was a bright blue, almost cyan with a rainbow colored mane and tail.

"That was awesome!" "You were amazing!" "Darling, that was absolutely dashing!" "Ohmygodohmygod youwereamazingoutthere!" "Thank you.". I walked up to the rainbow colored one, she stared at me distrustfully as I got pelted by her friend's compliments. I looked over at the other five and say "I think I need to talk to her alone." I said motioning towards the cyan mare. The all walked out looking glum, I sat down next to the mare. "Hey, what is your name?" She responded through clenched teeth and narrowed eyes, "You first." My mind was churning, what was her deal with me? "I am Jiques, now you?" She responded after a few moments of awkward silence, "Rainbow Dash, and what in the hay are you?" She seemed more curious than angry now.

I had gotten used to this kind of thing but it still aggravated me, "I'm an Argonian, a formidable mage," She seemed interested at this point, "I come from a family of nothing really special, but I am a dragonborn, a person who has the ability to steal the power and knowledge from dragons I kill, this in turn keeps them from coming back, if a dragon died by someone else it could come back." I finished, Rainbow Dash stilled looked like she didn't trust me, "How come we never heard of you before? And why are you wearing that black cloak and why are you heavily armed?" I chuckled remembering the same question Celestia asked me. "I came here by accident, I opened the Elder Scrolls too early and was sent here, I am wearing this outfit because I am a Nightingale, a person who came from the Dark Brotherhood (Don't ask) who is especially talented in the art of stealth; and this is not heavily armed," She looked at me shocked, "Yup, that confirms my point, Celestia had the same reaction to that, from my world if you took a stroll through the woods, you would probably get ambushed by giants, wolves, bandits or tigers, however giants are usually peaceful unless you walk on their ground and provoke them. In fact as I said earlier, you can walk through a town like this one, in full iron armor with a war axe and that could be counted as casual."

She looked utterly mortified, then she regained her composure and said, "Okay, not what I was expecting but we better get going, Pinkie is still planning that welcome to Ponyville party." As she said the last part she grinned but quickly hid it. I rose my eyebrow, "What was that?" She looked like she was hiding something, "I think its time we go." She said a bit quickly and trotted off to the other ponies waiting around the corner. I followed suit, just without the trotting.

I left the hospital after some small talk with the six ponies that I thought of as friends, we left the hospital and I noticed something off, "Hey, where is spike?" Twilight gave me a look of worry, "He didn't want to come, I don't think he likes you, you did just kill a dragon..." I gave a small "oh" and we walked onward. Ponies stared, a few gave me a smile or a wave, "I guess they really like me because I killed that dragon..." I whispered to myself, but unfortunately Applejack caught what I said, "What was that sugercube?" I looked over at the orange pony and answered, "Nothing" I turned around to see a few ponies giving me distrustful glares, I whispered the thu'um of seeing life forms, I saw quite a few in Twilight's house as we approached, so this is when the party was gonna happen? I tried to keep a passive expression, I examined the ponies surrounding me, they had a air of suspense and happiness.

When we reached the door, Twilight let me open the door, it was pitch black inside, when I took a step in and was about to turn on the light I could see the heartbeats speeding up, I flipped the switch and jumped as the assembled ponies, as well as Pinkie screamed "SURPRISE!!!!!" I gave a silly grin, there was a sign saying 'Welcome to Ponyville!' streamers fell, balloons floating lazily bye, confetti littered the ground, cake, punch and other treats were assembled on a table, I gasped in joy, they really did this for me? I echoed my thoughts, "You guys really did this for me?" I asked in awe, as I saw about 10 ponies I didn't know walk out from behind doorways and out from under the table, and one came down the stairs. I asked, "How did you guys get this all set up? In fact," I added a little suspiciously, "If I knew any better this might a trap to get me when I'm not paying any attention." I gave a suspicious look at the ponies, then laughed out loud at my own stupidity.

The rest joined me, I heard a faint grumbling coming from Twilight's room, my smiling face dampened as I remembered Spike. I asked again, "So, how did you get this all set up in a matter of hours?" Pinkie looked at me as if I had dunked my head in a toilet for no apparent reason at all, "Why, my party cannon of course!" She pulled a blue and pink cannon as if it came out of thin air. She aimed it at the ceiling and fired, which let lose a bundle of confetti, balloons and streamers. "Well, then how do you fill it up with all that stuff?" I asked interested, she replied, but not in the way I expected, "I just fill it with anything I don't need and fire, it always comes out as streamers and such." I just gazed at it with wide eyes, and shook my head, almost as if on cue she started shaking, then she knocked her knees. I looked at her in worry, "Pinkie you okay?" She just stared in blank space and said, "Oh no! One of my friends is jealous and angry at another one of my friends because of a amazing event." She looked worriedly at Twilight's room. My gaze lingered her for a second longer, then I turned towards Twilight, "What?" She just shook her head, "Pinkie has this thing she has called Pinkie Sense, she gets weird feelings that predict the future," I was about to ask her how that would even work when she added, "Don't even bother trying to figure it out, I couldn't so I doubt you could." She said the last part as she headed towards the stairs, "I'll be down soon, I think I know who Pinkie was talking about."

After some intense arguing heard upstairs, Twilight dragged a bipedal dragon behind her, who I could tell wasn't very happy to see me. She set Spike down, I looked down at him, he glared back, a idea hit me, I had that one book about a calm spell. I dug around in my backpack, finally finding the book I read it and memorized the spell, to see the book shrivel up in flames, I don't know why this happened but it does whenever I learn the a new spell. I noticed the ponies and the dragon looking at me oddly. I spoke up, "Sorry about that, it seems whenever I learn a new spell the book just burns up, but it only does so when I memorize it." Twilight shook her head, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy trotted off to enjoy the festivities.

I held a teal ball in my hand, the power of calm swept over me as I charged it in my palm. I let flow towards Spike who instantly went from angry to a peaceful state. He looked up at me anger no longer burning in his eyes, "How did you do that? You just made me realize, that I shouldn't be angry at you, you made me understand." I gave him a sad smile, which showed my fangs, which were larger then his, but still quite similar. Twilight looked at me, "How did you do that? I've never been able to calm Spike like that, even with magic." They both, assistant and librarian stared at each other. I chuckled and walked off, I went off to get some punch.

I was greeted by a few ponies, which were quite happy to thank me for slaying the dragon that threatened Ponyville, some time later Rainbow Dash came up to me, "Hey, Jiques I got this for you." She held out a cupcake, I took it and said, "Thanks." Feeling happy about the offer, I took a bite to hear a crunch in the cupcake, I looked into it as a slight burning filled my mouth to see Tabasco peppers filling the cupcake. I looked up from this poor prank to see Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie both looking disappointed. I held up the cupcake, "Seems your plan didn't work, you know, I eat habaneros for breakfast right?" They stared amused, this wasn't exactly true but I had eaten enough of those spicy bastards to know when I ate one and when I didn't. Fortunately these weren't.

Some time later the party ended and the mess was cleaned up by a team effort of Spike, Twilight and I. We said our good nights and they went to bed while I laid down in my makeshift bed on the library floor...

CRASH

I awoke with a start to see something I never would have though I'd see in this peaceful land, it was a Daedric Lord...
